Disclaimer: I don't own Ben 10, just my O.C's. I've suggested therapy to my sister to deal with her Kevin obsession

"Well, I'm off to take a shower before someone's looserness in my skull drives me crazy." Xander narrowed his eyes at Danny

who had been grossed out by Xander's lack of hygiene

"At least you've got something up there." Raisha shrugged in a fake encouraging way

"And what exactly do you mean by that?!" Xander snapped

She remained as cold and uncaring as ever

"I only mean that without Danny you'd be as good as dead."

"I have my own powers, you know. Plus it takes the both of us to do Eternal Flame." Xander reminded her

Raisha bothered to look at him this time, though just barely. As though he wasn't really worth the effort.

"Your idiocracy would have gotten you killed by now."

Instead of getting even angrier at Raisha Xander just kept a stony glare trained on her.

"Idiocracy means you're really stupid." Danny nervously explained

and Xander's eyes temporarily widened in understanding. He was about to attack her when Danny stopped him.

"Wait. It won't do any good."

Just looking at that smug face of hers made Xander want to tear Raisha apart, but even he couldn't deny that Danny was right. So Xander stalked off to take his shower grumbling all the way.

Danny tried talking to Raisha.

"Could you please not provoke him so much?" he asked

"Sorry. It's too much fun. Besides he really needs to learn some self control."

"Er, well, yeah. That's true." Danny admitted referring to Xander's anger issues

"I think I know where he got his temper from." Ben spoke up, pointing towards Kevin

Instantly Kevin verbally retaliated.

"Easy for a pampered kid like you to say. How would any of you feel if your own family thought you were a monster!" Kevin began to clench his fists tightly as he ranted

"Yeah, that'd sure be a nightmare." Raisha replied with dry sarcasm

She could still remember the looks on her parents faces, confirming what she'd already thought about herself. That she was only a monster.

Kevin paused for a moment. It definitely wasn't how she looked or her attitude or anything like that, something about her just seemed familiar.

"So this person you want us to fight," Kevin started again just for something to say "Who are they? What can you tell us about them?"

Raisha seemed to consider something for a moment, then appeared to cave in.

"You were all going to find out anyways and it's best to have all the information you can. But it's complicated."
