10 Alternate

Getting tricked into helping Harangue get her moves for a literal killer robot well it was a low blow to say the least. Jen was not happy about it. Her secret identity had been all over the news for the past two months and Harangue seemed determined to use her for his own benefit. So she took her Uncle Franks advice and took a TV interview, her first, as damage control. So of course everything had to go wrong. The interview itself was going really well then the light started. It grew brighter until it was the only thing she could see, she felt as though she was racing along at lightspeed.

Gwen stared at the TV in disbelief. One second Jen had been smiling shyly at the interviewer, a pretty woman with black hair who was on the channel seven news, the next a bright light filled the room and when it cleared Jen was gone without a trace. Her phone rang. She picked it up.

"You saw that right?" Kevin's voice came over the phone.

"Saw, working on believing. I don't think she did that." Gwen was glad she had a dvr, she was going through the interview frame by frame. The very last shot they'd gotten of Jen had a look of shock on her face. "Definitely not her. You try and find her your way. I'll work on it my way."

"You got it babe." Gwen frowned at the phone.

"I don't really like babe."

"Sorry I was trying something new, won't happen again."

Rex Salazar wasn't having the best of days. He had made a new superpowered friend sure, but Six was still in a coma, though Holiday thought his chances looked good. And he'd had to say goodbye to his new friend, possibly forever. He frowned as he watched the portal close behind the green jacketed boy. He'd miss Ben. They had so much in common. But as he turned away from the portal it grew bright again before dying completely. There was a thud and he spun on his heel battle hardened instincts had him ready to fight at the drop of a hat. But he frowned at the sight of a familiar head of brown hair and green jacket.

"Shit Caesar you said this would work! Ben are you ok?" The figure on the ground looked up and Rex blinked, that wasn't Ben. They could have been twins, set side by side but there were some distinct differences between the two. This one was at least two inches shorter for a start. But the most obvious difference was that this one was curvy in a way Ben just wasn't. This strange green clad visitor was definitely female. Her eyes were slightly wider, her face a touch softer. She blinked at him confusion written all over her face.

"Ethan?" She shook her head and blinked again. Her eyes hardened. "You're not… Who are you?" She reached for her wrist and Rex raised both hands.

"My name's Rex Salazar. I'm sorta a big deal superhero here. Look if the last few days is anything to go by then you're probably from an alternate universe, so maybe let's talk before we fight ok?" The girl blinked at him.

"Ok. Alternate universe, that's not that weird." She sat up in the crater as Rex turned to Caesar.

"Can we send her back?" Caesar shook his head.

"Not for a while, Ben did a number on the void gun. The girl frowned.

"Who's Ben, and your Null Void gun looks like a piece of shit by the way. What backwater Plumber base did you dig that up from?" Caesar frowned.

"I built it!" She raised an eyebrow at him. Rex held up his hand.

"Ok gringa, relax. What's your name?" She raised an eyebrow at him.

"Jennifer Tennyson, I tend to go by Jen Ten though." Rex held up a hand and pulled her to her feet.

"Nice to meet you Jen. Caesar you can get that gun fixed right?" Rex's brother nodded.

"It may take me several days though. What concerns me is what brought her here, if the Alpha is what drew Ben here then why did she end up here?" Jen dusted off her jeans and shrugged.

"Any chance we could talk this over with some food, I'm starving. Had to skip breakfast to do to the interview that I got zapped out of." Rex looked over at White Knight, his faceplate was cracked. He thought fast.

"I'll take White Knight and Jen back to base, you can go fix your gun in peace. Just let us know when it's done." Caesar nodded. Jen shrugged.

"Honestly it's better than what I was doing with my day." She followed him onto the ship. She kept staring at Rex, he frowned.

"You ok?" Jen seemed to realize that she'd been staring and sighed.

"Sorry you look a lot like someone I knew. It's not exact, his hair was a little longer and you're taller than him but definitely similar." Her hand had wandered to a necklace around her neck. She was twisting the ring on it between her fingers. It was a silver band set with a single emerald surrounded by a ring of diamonds. Rex got the impression that this person he remined her of had been important to her. They reached the base in silence. Holiday was waiting for them, she wasn't smiling. Rex frowned.

"Six? Is he ok?" Holiday sighed as White Knight walked off to his secure rooms to fix his faceplate which luckily hadn't cracked all the way through.

"He's stabilized. But he hasn't woken up yet." Jen frowned and Holiday glanced at her both eyebrows shooting up. "I take it sending the alien hero home didn't do too well?" Rex shrugged.

"We think Ben got through but well Jen popped up when he vanished." Jen spoke up for the first time since the ship had landed.

"I figure I'm an alternate version of this Ben. Paradox is way better at explaining this than I am. But I could if you have a piece of paper." Holiday shrugged seeming resigned to this strangeness and held out her clipboard. "Thanks." Jen flipped to a blank page and drew a single line. "Ok so the way he explained it was that the easiest way to think about the multiverse is like an orchard. With a bunch of different trees. Each tree is a timeline." She drew another tree parallel with the others.

"Most of the time the trees are kept from touching each other, don't ask me why he didn't have an easy way to explain it, something about polluting timelines. But on occasion," she drew a branch on each of her trees, "they intersect. He said it's usually too small for anyone to notice but sometimes the grows can reach into the other tree. Which can cause the two trees to destroy each other. So whatever brought me here we need to find it and put a stop to it and get me home." Rex nodded then shook his head.

"Wait can you go over that again? I am beyond confused." Holiday nodded.

"I think I understand. I'll look over the scans, I'll have Bobo help me. Go get some rest Rex. You need it after today. Jen can use one of the spare beds. Rex nodded and motioned for Jen to follow him. But he didn't head directly to the bunks. Instead he popped in to check on Six. Holiday had told the truth there was no change. Jen frowned.

"What happened?" Rex sighed, sat on one of the counters and began to explain the events of the previous day, from his fight with Ben all the way to saying goodbye to the male Ultimatrix user. Jen nodded. "Can you get this thing open?" She tapped the tube Six was currently contained in. Rex nodded.

"Yeah, I'm good with machines. Why though?" Jen spun the dial on the Ultimatrix.

"Because I think I can help your friend." Rex leapt to his feet hope in his eyes as she changed form. She was marble skinned with winking green stars in her skin when the lights dimmed. Rex opened the tube and Jen laid her hands on Six's head. She closed her eyes and glowed bright. In a moment the monitors picked up and Six blinked. Rex leaned over as Jen stepped back transforming back to herself. Six sat up as Holiday came running into the room. Rex grinned at her.

"She fixed Six!" He gestured to Jen who waved slightly. Holiday frowned.

"Artemis, that's what I call that transformation, she's got innate healing powers. I've used them before. You guys are set on getting me home I wanted to do something for you too." Rex grinned at her as Holiday checked Six's vitals.

"I like her!" Jen smiled slightly.
