A/N: got bored at my sis's softball and wrote this one down… really like it for being written on the spot…
Disclaimer: you should know…. That I…. Own nothing at all ^.^
Real Version:
Episode: 'Darkstar Rising'
Scene: Kevin, Ben, the Magister, and the Highbreed are trapped, just realizing now that it's Darkstar. Ben has revealed who is behind the mask and Kevin says something along the lines of "The one who tried to take Gwen from m-" then blushes deep scarlet and shuts up real fast, moving on to Darkstar stealing power from the girls at his prep school.
My Version:
Episode: 'Kevin Talking'
Scene: What would've happened if Kevin's sentence hadn't cut off? What if he had kept talking?
The second Ben had merely mentioned Michael, Kevin's face had turned ghostly white. The blood drained from his cheeks. "Mike Morningstar?" he asked, trying to make sure he'd gotten his facts right before he came to any conclusions. But his conclusions were right when the brunette hanging suspended beside him nodded slightly. "The guy who stole his powers from those teenage girls at his prep school? The one who tried to take Gwen from me?"
One of Darkstar's singed off eyebrows arched questioningly. "Taking Gwendolyn from you, Levin? I think not."
"Uh, yeah, I kind of think so. Gwen is mine and only mine and all mine." His expression had turned into a ferocious snarl. "You have to respect the rights that I had her first because I saw her first." Kevin's words were no longer words, but instead vicious growls.
"But once you are drained to nothing more than a corn husk, she will be mine, only mine and all mine." Darkstar raised his palms to them, the blackened energy emanating from them. A smirk crossed his lips from beneath the mask.
Ben squirmed uncomfortably, now realizing the full extent of Gwen and Kevin's non-existent relationship. He had been left in the dark about what feelings were growing and changing between them. Now he knew. And it was very, very awkward for him to be caught in the middle.
Kevin fought even harder against the bonds that kept him from absorbing, that kept him from breaking himself free to pound some sense into Michael Moronstar. He just wanted to break that mask, watching it smash to pieces beneath his fists. Yet the energy cuffs wouldn't let him budge any further. And he didn't stop wiggling and fighting against the inevitable. That he was stuck, a fish in a barrel, ready to be shot.
The dark magic struck him square in the chest, only him. Darkstar and Kevin had a bone to pick and it would be settled one way or another. The masked one preferred the unfair way.
Draining, draining, fading, life seeping away, Kevin's very soul being shattered by the fact that he could die without ever kissing Gwen...
Yet he found his voice despite the immense pain. "You know she's mine and that's what eats away at you, day and night, every second of every moment that you can breathe." Kevin fought back a short cry of pain. He bit his tongue, trying to keep himself from actually showing the throbbing power sucker what he was really going through. He struggled to continue his ranting. "And that's why you know she can never be yours. Because she's made for me and only me and she loves me more than she could ever even think about even touching you with a ten foot pole."
Ben watched as Kevin began writhing painfully in his bonds, his body seeming to have many spasms of serious agonizing pain...
Darkstar couldn't listen to the delinquent's juvenile words any longer. He amped his power. The dark energy flowed through him, faster and stronger, fueled by his ever growing rage at Kevin Levin. This... this thing was the only problem that kept Darkstar from having the lovely Gwendolyn Tennyson's magical Anodite energy for his own.
And Kevin just smiled like he was enjoying being killed. "Gwen is my only one and you will be left like the last bruised banana in the basket."
It was a terrible simile, but Darkstar got the point of it. "You ruined me!" he howled, fury building in his veins. The strength doubled with his powers, sucking the last of the life from Kevin.
An army of DNAliens swarmed from behind him, the said red haired girl standing in the center of the monstrous masses as they flowed around her, trying to get to their prey. Her deep emerald eyes sparkled with the emotional tears she was suddenly feeling. Kevin had never before even mentioned that he felt a single thing for her in his entire life. And now it was out there as if written on the page of a book for her to read.
And the dark teen was freed from the draining. Moronstar's attention had been diverted just enough towards the fighting DNAliens. He watched as the black beams drained every last one of the disgusting monster creatures.
A flash of perfect pink and violet tinted mana cleared away the beams that held them suspended in the middle of the air in the room of the musty, cold warehouse. Ben, Kevin, the Magister and the Highbreed all dropped from their prison.
The first to escape the chains was Kevin. He absorbed the iron, letting it cover his body and double his strength. The chains were rendered useless. He ripped them to scraps of metal.
Gwen was still standing there, watching his every move, a small, nearly invisible half smile caught at the corners of her lips. He was serious. He wouldn't lie just to piss off Darkstar. Especially not using her name. Gwen's pristine ivy green eyes followed his dark frame as he darted over to her, breathless with just the short staggering run that had carried him all the way over to her. "How much did you hear?" he asked, voice quivering as if he was scared. Kevin put his hands on her shoulders. He was shaking uncontrollably.
The tears almost escaped, but her vision remained blurred. "All of it," she murmured, just loud enough so that he could hear despite the noise that Darkstar and his battle were making. "Every last word."
Kevin leaned in and kissed her without warning. It only lasted a second and was short and sweet. "Good," he breathed, " 'cause I don't think I could ever try to repeat that if I tried." The love of her life ran off, ready to pound the crap out of Michael Morningstar.
She was left to stare at him, her emotions caught between stunned and amazed. Kevin was always full of surprises.
A/N: aw. Another cute one. I always watched this episode a bunch of times and it kind of hurt me physically to see him bite his tongue and fight the words back so that no one else could hear them. And I wanted him to actually say it. So I had him totally say it. And I have to say I loved it.
Review to answer the epic question of this fic: mine or Man of Action's?
