Two days earlier

Ben rustled restlessly in the back of the Rust Bucket. He told the two to wake him up when they got there but he couldn't handle sitting still, "Grandpa? Where are we going again?" Ben bellowed impatiently.

Gwen rolled her eyes from the passenger seat. It was the fifth time they told him after all. You think by now he'd get it, but the truth was. Ben was only asking because there was nothing else to do until they got there. "For the last time Ben," Grandpa Max said just as impatiently, "My old plumber team told me of suspicious activity going on in Nevada. Unclassified technology is crated in the area and radiation signatures we've never seen before."

"Ummm… English?" Ben asked unimpressed by the repeated information.

"Ugh! You are such a doofus!" Gwen sighed irritably, "You know that? Unclassified tech? Means they never seen it before. It could be anything. Which when it comes to aliens, is very dangerous."

Ben stood up walking toward the front of the RV, "Ugh, I knew that," he told her unconvincingly.

"Sure you did."

"Hey guys," Grandpa Max spoke up, "I know the trip there isn't the most exciting, but we all need not to lose our heads. Okay? C'mon I'll buy you guys ice cream when it's all finished."

The two young cousins just looked at each other.

"Grandpa why do you have to go and take care of it? I mean why don't they get some other cadets to go do it?" Gwen asked curiously.

"Well because we are the closest to the sight right now and under any circumstances do we not lose whatever is in that box."

It was only a few more hours till they reached Nevada. When they did Max then pushed a hidden button underneath the dash. A screen then appeared on the rear view mirror. It showed a map of the dessert and a little red dot started to blink in one of the mountains.

"There they are," Max said pretty casually. They drove to the area. Gwen and Ben both prepared themselves while Max pulled out an old plumber's weapon.

When they reached their destination Ben and Gwen both went ahead. They watched the scene from behind a boulder, what looked like two humans and a few familiar aliens pulling a crate into a very suspicious black van.

Obvious much? Gwen thought.

Max rejoined them, "So what are we looking at?" he asked.

Ben crawled infront of Gwen, "Well that bald guy," he said pointing at the very official man wearing the black suit, "seems to run the operation. He's telling that guy something," he then points to the goofy looking guy with the spiked hair, also in a black suit, with a cat in his arms, "And they," he pointed to the very familiar aliens, "are carrying that crate from that van to the other van."

"Do you know them Grandpa?" Gwen asks, "Those guys."

"No," Max answers, "I can't say I do. Why don't we go back and I'll report it," but before he said that Ben had already disappeared. "Where's Ben?"

"Where do you think?" Gwen says pointing.

Ben runs into action, "Hey!" he yells, "Just tell us what's in the crate so I can go and enjoy ice cream!"

The mysterious man in the black suit then looks at his ummm… cat friend and says, "Get rid of them."

"With pleasure," said he said back.

Spikey cat dude pulled up his hands shooting a bristly beam of energy at Ben. Max ran and shot at him which had no effect. Cat dude shot another beam at the old man but Gwen intervenes forming a magical barrier in front of her grandfather. Ben gets up rubbing his head. He sees Gwen and his grandfather in trouble and he goes through his watch and slaps it. Flames ran over his skin as it slowly changed to stone and then he yells, "Heat Flash!"

He throws a couple of flames at the cat dude when one of the fire balls hit the boy's cat. The cat flies out of the boy's arms and hits the ground in pain, but it stills gets up and hisses at Ben, "TEEKL!" the boy yells. He then glares at Ben and says, "I'll get you for that!"

Ben looked at the cat and then realized what he had to do, but before he could react or think, Spikey cat dude throws a large electric energy orb at him. Max gets in front of his Grandson and falls to the ground at impact. "Grandpa!" Gwen and Ben yell!

Ben reaches for him but spikey cat dude intervenes. After the aliens were done putting the crate in the other car they get in with the bald guy. Spikey Cat dude picks up Max and heads for the car as he yells, "Teaches you to mess with Teekl!"

"Grandpa!" Gwen yells . Ben throws a couple of fire balls at the car but they end up getting away anyway.

"C'mon!" Ben yells pulling his cousin by the arm, "We need to follow them!"

Present

Red arrow met Calder at their meeting point, which was in an old warehouse in Star City. "Calder what's going on?" Roy asks impatiently. Calder pulls out a small device and a hologram appeared showing the little sprawl the team had with Ben. It showed then Ben changing into the blue alien with wheels on his feet. "That's the kid I saw fighting with Green arrow! But he didn't look like that."

"It appears he can change his appearance and powers at will. Or so we learned by Batman," Calder answers.

"So what do you think it's some kind of magic or something?"

"Not that we can tell. It's certainly no act of magic I have ever seen before."

Calder puts the device away into his pocket and says, "He gets his powers from a watch which is impossible to remove from his wrist."

"So we take him down and make him take it off on his own. He's bound to know how right?"

"Not exactly and that's not what I really wanted to talk to you about." Roy stayed quiet looking at him. "Lex Luther has disappeared from scanners a few days before that boy… arrived. We found the child appear from the same foreign radiation holes I talked to you about ealier."

"You think this kid has something to do in Luther's plans?"

"I don't know yet but we must still keep open a possibility that he may just be an innocent by standard, which may be to very much help to us."

Roy smiled, "Okay so what's the plan?"
