Sorry for not updating for a week things have been crazy over here. I am skipping Pier Pressure for now since there's a 3-way tie. I need more votes on it. :D Now on to the next chapter. (In case you don't know the episodes: This is: What Are Little Girls Made Of?)

"Telepathy"

Edit 4/11/17: Here's the 2nd edited chapter for today. :)


Gwen's A What?

Heaven's POV

We were at Ben and Gwen's grandpa's favorite place. Gwen and I were sitting on a green checkered blanket that was placed on the rock. There was a plate sitting out right by the picnic basket we brought. The boys were looking like they were about to fight. We were all in swimsuits. Gwen was in a white two-piece, Kevin was in black swim trunks, Ben was in green trunks, and I was in a blue flowery pattern one-piece. Gwen was looking straight while I was turned looking at the boys. Ben turned into one of his aliens he calls: Brainstorm. Kevin absorbed the rock.

"Let's settle this Tennyson," Kevin said.

Brainstorm started to laugh.

"My dear Kevin, your nigh gladiatorial bellicosity has once again outpaced your ratiocinative processes," Brainstorm said.

"I don't know what you just said but cannonball!" Kevin said while cannonballing in the lake.

Kevin made a huge splash that went to where Brainstorm was. He saw the wave coming and used the electricity he had to dissolve the water so it wouldn't hit him.

"Oh attempting to short me out huh? Before you ever cause just an involuntary cognitive discharge my intense electro magnate storms would vaporize you," Brainstorm said before sending Kevin by us with the electric wave.

Kevin's armor came off and Brainstorm came back up.

"As a coda, and at the risk of gilding the lily I submit," Brainstorm said as he changed back into himself, "That I wasn't even thinking hard."

"Ok you got me that time. Live and learn right guys?" Kevin said while looking at Gwen and me.

Gwen had a sad look on her face. I turned back around so I was facing the same way Gwen was. I gave her a one arm hug in attempt to comfort her.

"She misses Grandpa," Ben whispered to Kevin.

"She was fine in the car," Kevin whispered back.

"It's my fault I thought bringing her here would cheer her up," Ben said.

"This is Grandpa Max's secret fishing rock. He used to come out here all the time when he wasn't traveling," Gwen said.

"Away on plumber business." Kevin said.

"We didn't know back then. When I was 5, he brought me here and I caught a teeny tiny fish. He wanted me to release it. I put up a big fuss, it was my fish you know Grandpa finally convinced me to come back when it was bigger," Gwen explained while tossing a rock into the lake, "Guess I never had an easy time letting go." She said while standing up.

I stood up after she did. I was quiet since I didn't feel like talking.

"Hey look over there." Ben said after he turned his head.

We all looked over to where he was referring. We saw a woman in a black cloak walking up to a tree.

"For a secret place it sure does get a lot of traffic," Ben said.

We saw her put a flower down by a tree.

"Did you ever see a flower like that before?" Gwen asked us.

"Hey, you in the cloak!" Kevin screamed over to her.

We all ran towards her. She started laughing and then she vanished in a pink light.

"Can't we have a day of peace?" I asked.

"That woman just disappeared," Ben said.

"Teleporter maybe?" Kevin suggested.

"What was she doing?" Gwen asked.

"Max plus Verdona? Who's Verdona?" Ben asked while looking at the tree.

"Let's find her and ask. I should be able to track her with this," Gwen said while picking up the flower she left.

She tried three times to figure out where she was. It failed.

"I thought I had that one down…" Gwen said.

"That's not the first flower she left here," Ben said noticing all the flowers on the ground.

"So what now? We can't just wait for her to come back," Kevin said while Ben smiled.


It was nighttime and we were all in the car. For once, Gwen sat in the back with me while Ben was in the front seat.

"This is crazy she didn't show yesterday and she's not going to show tonight," Kevin said.

"Humor me," Gwen said.

Kevin just groaned. Then we heard a noise. Ben was pushing the lock and unlock button on the door. Ben stopped and saw Kevin's irritated look. It was quiet for a moment. Ben then made the noise again while smiling.

"Do I look like I'm kidding Tennyson?" Kevin asked irritated.

"You guys," I said trying to break them up.

"I have to find a bathroom," Gwen said.

"Lots of trees around," Kevin said.

"Real debonair Kevin," Ben said.

"Ew," I said with a look of disgust on my face.

"There was a gas station a couple miles back," Gwen said while she climbed out from Ben's side.

"I'll drive you," Kevin said.

"No. Keep watch I'll be right back," Gwen said while closing Ben's door.

Then Ben made the noise…again. He's going to be killed by Kevin soon. Kevin grabbed Ben while Ben just smiled.

"Hey look over there." I said leaning up and pointing outside.

They looked over and we saw that woman we saw the other day again. We got out and went to her.

"How do you know Max Tennyson?" Ben asked.

"Talk," Kevin said while putting the hood down of the woman.

We got a look at her hair and it was grey. I assumed she was an elderly woman.

"Now," I said.

"What rotten kids, go away," She said while blasting us.

Wait… That looked like Gwen's mana! Judging her age, I'm assuming she's had more experience in mana than Gwen. All of us tried to get up as she glided towards us. Ben turned into Jetray and flew towards her. Kevin and I quickly ran towards his car so we could absorb the material.

"A good chase, I haven't had a good chase in ages," The woman said.

Jetray was chasing her and tried to blast her but she dodged it. Then she bumped into Kevin.

"Answers lady we're done playing," Kevin said while grabbing her wrists.

"Not until I put away my toys sweetie," She said while using her mana to throw Kevin down the hill.

I ran towards her and tried to land a hit but she dodged. She grabbed me and threw me down that same hill. I went down until I ended up crashing into Kevin. As soon as we crashed into each other the metal came off us.

"Oh come on!" I said.

"Who are you?" Jetray asked her.

She used her mana to put a ball on his tail so he couldn't blast her. He used his eye beams to try to blast the beam. When he did, it blasted him into Kevin and me. Ben changed back to himself when he ended up on top of us.

"This is so not our night," I said.

"This little world would be more tolerable without troublemaking imps like you getting in my way," She said floating in front of us and having her mana around her fists.

"Who are you calling a trouble maker?" I asked.

"Yea show us what you got," Kevin said with a smirk.

She made a mana blast towards us. We all ducked in cover. We looked and saw a mana shield over us. Gwen was back.

"Can't I leave you guys alone for two minutes?" Gwen asked while she took the shield off.

We all got up.

"Do that again." The woman said amazed.

"No problem!" Gwen said while shooting at the woman.

She just blocked it with her mana.

"Incredible," She said.

"Just who do you think you are littering my grandpa's cove with your flowers?" Gwen asked while we walked by her.

"Flowers that she makes out of energy," Kevin said.

"No way," Gwen said.

The woman had a look like she figured something out. She smiled and walked towards us.

"Did you say that Max was your grandfather?" The woman asked.

Gwen just shook her head.

"Kiddo!" The woman said while hugging Gwen.

"He was my grandpa to," Ben said.

"Really? Oh can you project energy like your sister?" She asked.

"Cousin and no," Ben said.

"She does have a brother though, but I'm pretty sure he's at college right now," I said, "and as far as I'm aware of he doesn't have powers."

"Shame," She said grabbing Gwen's hand, "Gwendolyn, I'm Verdona we'll talk again soon," She said before disappearing in a pink glow.

"I think we just met our grandmother," Ben said.


We drove Gwen back to her house and spied on her from the roof. We had our heads peeked into her window and overheard the conversation that Gwen was having with her father. She explained to him that she had powers. Then we heard her father say that her grandmother was an alien.

"But first, guys I know you're out there," Gwen said.

We took our heads out from the window and cringed that she caught us.

"Come on in," Gwen said.

Ben went in first, then Kevin, and then he helped me inside. Kevin stood behind Gwen while I stood behind Ben.

"Hey Uncle Frank," Ben said with a small wave.

"Uh, how do you do sir?" Kevin asked with a hand up, "Kevin Levin."

"Um, hi. Heaven Levin," I said with a hand rubbing the back of my neck and the other raised, "his younger sister," I said pointing to Kevin.

"Who's this your boyfriend?" Frank asked Gwen.

They both blushed as Kevin moved behind me.

"Absolutely not! I mean no sir," Kevin said.

"Daddy no!" Gwen said.

I was close of laughing because of their reactions. If her dad thinks he's her boyfriend they should be together. Then her dad looked at me and then to Ben.

"Who's this Ben," He asked, "your girlfriend?"

Ben and I just blushed and said nothing. Kevin had a smirk on his face.

"So here's the thing my grandma, who I never knew, wants something from me but I don't know what," Gwen said.

"Let's ask her. Your friends aren't the only ones who sneak around eavesdropping on people. Isn't that right mom?" Frank asked.

A pink glow lit up the room and Verdona appeared.

"You could always tell when I was watching baby," Verdona said, "I had hoped that maybe you had the spark but no such luck," She said before transporting us to Gwen's living room.

We saw Gwen's mom in shock and drop the glass she was holding.

"Verdona what a surprise," Natalie said with venom in her voice.

Verdona used her powers to lift the glass up with a pink glow. It lit up and, like glue, went back together perfectly then she put it on the table. We all looked at it in shock.

"Whoa," Gwen said.

"Tea dear and something sweet for the kids," Verdona said.


A few minutes later, we got cookies while the adults were having tea. Gwen and Verdona sat on chairs. Gwen's parents were on one side of the couch, and Ben was sitting on the other side. Kevin sat on the arm of the chair, and I sat on the chair in front of the boys.

"Been awhile mom," Frank said.

"I suppose in human time. Sweetie your grandmother is an Anodite and so are you," Verdona said.

"What's an Anodite?" Gwen asked.

"Anodites are a race of free spirits with powers that humans can barely comprehend. Now we don't often mess with the affairs of just plain folks, but then I fell deeply in love with Max Tennyson," Verdona explained.

Throughout her talking Ben and I were grabbing cookies and ate them,

"And ditched him," Kevin said while Ben elbowed him and I mentally smacked him.

"No it just that after the kids were grown and out of the house I needed to reconnect with my Anodite heritage and Max was saving the universe with the plumbers," Verdona explained.

"Dad thought you didn't know about that," Frank said.

"Yes he didn't want me to worry. Sweet man. We had many good years, but we grew apart. Even a fellow loaded with as much mana as Max is still just a physical being," Verdona said.

"What's mana?" Ben asked.

She answered his question by putting tape over his face.

"Your grandpa's fate was big news, it even reached my planet so I came back to remember the good times. Who knew there was a budding Anodite among you? Gwendolyn you'll be amazed at what you can do. Let me teach you to master life energy," Verdona explained before standing up. "That's what mana is," She said while getting the tape off Ben's face.

"Oh," Ben said.

"I do want to learn," Gwen said before standing up, "Where do we start?"

"On Anodyne. Stop living this humdrum life come home with me and join the real party," Verdona said while grabbing Gwen's hands.

"Leave?" Gwen said letting go of Verdona's hands and walking back, "This is all so…wow. This is too huge. Mom, Dad what do I do?"

"I don't know," Frank said standing up, "It's an opportunity that I never had."

Gwen's mom then stood up.

"We always hoped that you would take after my side of the family." Natalie said while giving Verdona a death glare. "But we want you to be happy." She finished with a smile.

"We won't stand in your way Gwen." Frank said.

I looked over to Kevin and saw the look on his face.

"You really don't want her to leave Kev…" I sent mentally.

"Stay out of my mind." He sent back.

"Kevin…" I sent before he blocked me off.

"You won't?" Gwen asked.

"Then it's settled. Come on sweetie," Verdona said.

Gwen ran upstairs to her room. I could've sworn I saw tears in her eyes. We ran up after her.

"Let me," Ben said while coming up behind Kevin and me.

We saw that she went up to her roof and we climbed out the window. We sat on there with her.

"You would go up on the roof. Some of us can't fly you know," Kevin said while sitting down next to her.

I climbed over next to Kevin and used his shoulders as support to plop myself down.

"Dude be supportive," Ben said sitting next to Gwen.

"This is not how I expected my day to go," Gwen said.

"Still it's kind of cool to find out where your powers came from. Grandma can teach you all the stuff she can do," Ben said.

"I'd be gone for a long time I guess," Gwen said.

"Maybe forever," Kevin said.

"I've always felt like an outsider. Like I'm in the wrong place but then I think oh that's high school for you," Gwen said.

"We'll miss you if you go," I said.

"Really?" Gwen asked.

"Yea, but we've been recruiting more and more plumber's kids so we'd still have a powerful team." Ben said.

"Oh." Gwen said disappointed.

Ben had a look on his face like he said the wrong thing.

"When I was trying to decide whether to use my powers again, you told me it was my choice. That's all I'm saying. Anyway you probably owe it to yourself to turn into a cosmetic mana master," Ben said.

"Maybe…" Gwen said.

"It's a once in a life-time opportunity," Ben said.

"Hev what do you think?" Gwen asked.

"Gwen you're my only friend that's a girl. I mean I have no other friends besides you and Ben. If you leave I'd have no girl to talk to, but like Ben said it's your choice," I said.

I wasn't going to tell her not to go because I had a feeling Kevin was going to do that.

"Kevin, do you feel the same way?" Gwen asked.

"No why would you even think about it? I want you around the whole things lame," Kevin said.

Gwen got up, pecked his cheek, and then ran down the roof towards her window. Kevin had a hand on his cheek and smiled. Then he turned to Gwen.

"Lame! Lame! Lame!" Kevin said.


We came back down as Verdona was turning into, what I thought, an Anodite looked like. Her skin was on the floor, like she just shed it. Her form was all purple and had glowing pink hair and white eyes.

"See just a disguise. This is what it means to be an Anodite," Verdona said.

"So that's why she looks so good," Natalie said.

"Mature Anodites are pure energy. We draw life from the mana around us," Verdona said.

"You got to admit that's kinda cool," Ben said.

I saw Kevin give Ben a 'are you kidding me?' look.

"You're just too young to make up your own mind. Let me help you. I'll destroy your body and free the Anodite inside. It'll be fun and you'll be able to think much more clearly," Verdona said.

"Destroy," Ben said.

"Her," Kevin said.

"Body," I said.

We all had shocked looks on our faces.

"Destroy my body? You're not serious," Gwen said.

"How do you know if you like something if you don't try it?" Verdona said.

"Verdona she said no," Ben said while Kevin and him walked in front of Gwen and I.

"Another dance boys? Ok just this once," Verdona said while blasting them through the window.

"Kevin! Ben!" I screamed.

Gwen and I ran out after them. Verdona just laughed.

"Now this is what I call a party," Verdona said while aim a blast towards us.

Gwen made a mana shield over us. She was fighting off with her grandmother.

"Gwen stay back," Kevin said.

"Hit the road, Kevin," Gwen said.

"Huh?" Kevin asked.

Gwen looked to the road.

"Oh," Kevin said while absorbing the road.

After he did, I did so to. Kevin and I threw the rocks at Verdona. Ben went Spidermonkey.

"Kevin throw me at Verdona," I said.

"What are you crazy?" Kevin asked.

"Maybe but if I hit her unannounced she might get down." I said.

Kevin grabbed me and threw me at Verdona. As he threw me I curled myself up. I was able to knock her down but it was only for a few seconds. She came back up and threw me across the yard. When I hit the ground I lost my armor. She went back to fighting Gwen. Gwen had a shield up but she opened it with her hair. Spidermonkey used a web from his tail to get Gwen out of the way.

"Check it out hands free," Spidermonkey said.

Kevin kept throwing rocks at her. Verdona tied him in mana.

"Why grandma what big trouble you have?" Spidermonkey asked.

Spidermonkey tied a web between the lightposts and used Gwen's mana to hit her. He grabbed her and flew to where Verdona laid. Gwen started shooting mana blasts and kicked her.

"She's weakening!" Gwen said.

Verdona flew up and flew back down. Spidermonkey punched her, and tied her in a web.

"Spidermonkey has it covered," Spidermonkey said.

Kevin ran over to hit her with the giant rock in his hand. She had a sad look on her face.

"Dude I don't know if I can pound your grandma," Kevin said.

"That's ok we're teaching her to mind her mana," Spidermonkey said while laughing.

I laughed to and rejoined the gang.

"Good one Ben," Verdona said.

"Was not," Kevin said.

Verdona got out of the web and flew up. She started draining the life out of the things around us.

"She'd drawing mana from millions of living things around her," Gwen said.

"The grass," Kevin said.

"I'm really enjoying this," Verdona said.

She used her mana to bury Kevin in the ground with the rock he was holding. Kevin popped his head up.

"I should get out more often," Verdona said.

She used her mana to trap Spidermonkey in his own web. Surprisingly she left me alone since my armor was already gone.

"No more tantrums sweetie. It will all be over in a second," Verdona said.

Gwen hit her with a mana ball but she deflected it back to Gwen. Gwen hit it again but it hit her garage door. Then Verdona used her mana to lift Gwen up. I was going to try to stop them but I couldn't move. Mana cuffs stuck my feet to the ground. So the old bat did do something…

"One day you'll learn to make a new body, any kind you like," Verdona said.

"Listen to me," Gwen screamed while Verdona let her go, "I am not going. I love having powers but I like my life better. I like fighting monsters and saving the world."

"Anodties help tons of people, scads, you could use your new powers however you want. After you've mastered them in 60 or 70 years," Verdona said.

"It's more than that. I like swimming and school and breaking boards with my hands and running and feeling tired afterward and kissing boys. I mean all those good times you had with grandpa," Gwen said.

"Aw, I was just a kid having my fun. Trust me, grown up parties are so much better," Verdona said.

"Grandma Verdona admit it you miss it and you miss Max. That's what brought you here," Gwen said.

"Max should've been like us. He had a spark all of his own. An adventurer, troublemaker, he was a lot like your little friend uh…um… Curtis," Verdona said.

"Kevin," Kevin said.

"Energy beings talking here," Verdona said.

"No you're an energy being. I'm a girl," Gwen said.

"Maybe I've forgotten what that's like. Still what I'm offering you is better. Think of how many more powers you'll have," Verdona said using her hair to levitate her and Gwen.

"I like my powers but I love my friends and my family. I'm not going with you Grandma," Gwen said.

"No I don't believe you are," Verdona said.

She flew down with Gwen.

"Well it's been a wild little shindig," Verdona said while snapping her fingers and making everything back to normal. "But mama's gots to go."

"How did you do that?" Gwen asked.

"You could come with me and find out," Verdona suggested.

"Yea... or not," Gwen said

"Had to try," Verdona said while lifting Kevin and Ben off the ground.

Gwen's parents came outside.

"Goodbye all and Ben way to stick up for your cousin. You're all right," Verdona said.

"You too grandma," Ben said.

"Don't forget to have some fun kiddo. Grandma's going to drop in now and again to see how you're doing," Verdona said.

"Oh. Joy," Natalie said.

Verdona flew off into the sky with a pink trail. After she flew off, Gwen looked down. She picked up the flower that we saw earlier.

"Come on I know where this goes," Gwen said.


We went in Kevin's car and Gwen's parents went in their car and went back to Max's secret fishing place. Gwen got out with the flower and put in under the tree. We all smiled then Gwen went home with her parents. The three of us went back in Kevin's car to drop off Ben. The car ride was quiet until we dropped off Ben.

"So you glad that Gwen decided to stay?" I asked.

"Shut up Hev," Kevin said.

"What I'm being honest. You do realize you're one of the reasons she decided to stay right?" I said.

"Fine I'm glad she's staying. Are you happy now?" Kevin asked.

"Yep," I said smiling.


End edit 4/11/17: Okay so how did Verdona know Gwen's name? It didn't seem that she was on earth when her, Ben, and Ken were born. Edits: the usual, plus added a nod towards Ken. (Because come on, Ken should've been in the serious more or at least mentioned more.)

Word Count:

Before: 3,681

After: 4,316

And that is it. :D This would've been up earlier but something happened halfway through this that prevented me from typing. I finally got it done though. :D I still need someone else to vote on my pull. In addition, here's the future chapter schedule: I am skipping The Gauntlet because I don't really like that episode and I don't know how to fit Hev in it. The next chapter will be either Pier Pressure or Paradox it depends on the poll and how I want the chapters to flow. So vote on the poll please. :)
