Author's Note: I own nothing. I'm sort of messing with Micheal's power set here, I hinted at it the first time he was mentioned but you'll see what I mean.

26 Siren Song

Charmcaster sent them home so she could deal with the aftermath of the battle. The only advice she could give them as to Gwen's predicament was that since the connection wasn't direct through skin contact that a metal helmet would likely keep the power from reaching her mind. They had laughed but she'd been serious. She grinned as she bid them farewell at the door.

"Maybe you should wear one too Jen. Wouldn't want anything getting into that pretty little head of yours." The silver haired enchantress winked at Jen who grinned.

"You know you can call anytime."

"Oh I will." They grinned at each other as Jen stepped over the threshold of Ledgerdomain, back to Earth. Kevin smirked as the doors closed.

"She's so not over you." He stated as they blinked around them. They weren't on the shores of the spit of land just off the coast of Indonesia. Instead they were in the park in the middle of Bellwood.

"Did we know the doors move?" Jen asked as Kevin called his car. Gwen shook her head.

"No, I mean it sort of makes sense. Any magical portal can be summoned, in theory anyway." Jen's phone started to buzz and she pulled it out frowning at the caller ID.

"Ken?" She answered the call, Gwen looked pretty confused as to why her brother was calling Jen, they weren't nearly as close as she and Jen were. "Hey Ken what's up? No way! Hell yeah! Actually do you think you could swing four, there's a friend who desperately needs to get out of medical for a few hours. You're the best Ken! Yeah we'll see you then." Jen hung up the phone.

"Why didn't you tell me Ken quit school and is running around New York with his band?" Gwen let out a laugh.

"With everything that's been going on I honestly just forgot." Jen laughed Kevin stared between the two of them.

"Wait, Mr. Awesomemobile is in an actual band? I sort of thought that was a joke." Gwen smacked him in the shoulder.

"Hey, Volume Ten is a great band." Kevin laughed loudly.

"I'm sorry, Volume Ten? That's the band name?" Both girls looked at each other and laughed again.

"No, joke that's the band name. They're booked for some end of summer thing here in Bellwood in like a month. He's getting us four backstage passes." Gwen frowned.

"Four?" Jen shrugged.

"Pierce should be out of medical by then. I want him to have some fun cause he's gonna be stuck behind a desk for a while." Kevin nodded.

"That's nice of you. So what kind of music are we talking?"

"Pop rock." Kevin rolled his eyes a little. Jen snorted.

"Oh please Mr. Kpop." They laughed as they headed away from the doors which vanished behind them. They knew it would take at least a few days for her to work out everything from that fight and they weren't exactly eager to go back to Ledgerdomain, having died there so recently. Gwen poured herself back into her studies while Jen and Kevin kept an eye on things. It was only when, a few days after their last trip to Ledgerdomain, Kevin's warehouse was broken into that they got any kind of action.

Jen was thrown into the lake of the small park as the explosion sent XCLR8 tumbling through the air. She reached for Ripjaws power and breathed easier as blue fire swirled over the lake. That couldn't be good, but if she left the lake she'd be fried. By the time it died and she surfaced Darkstar was gone, but the Doors To Anywhere sat where the epicenter of the explosion had been. She shook herself, Ripjaws fading back to her human form as she swam to the shore.

Micheal couldn't be happier. He'd found his way to a domain made of magic, and it was ruled over by a beautiful woman, just his age who was easily susceptible to his powers. He had her wound around his finger easily, just like he'd wound Gwen when they'd first met. He was in the courtyard of her palace fighting Jen and Kevin while the sorceress fought Gwen. He glanced back laughing as Gwen came tumbling down out of the palace. Jen leapt forward, catching her cousin careful with her since the brunette was currently in her Ultimate Humungousaur form. The sorceress floated down. He smiled at her.

"This power is so wonderful! Come on Beautiful we can crush them all!" She stopped short of taking his hand.

"You never call me by name." Micheal blinked at her.

"Sure I do!" Her pink eyes narrowed at him.

"Then what is my name Micheal."

"… Heather." She shrieked.

Jen blinked as pink lights flashed around them. They were back in the power plant. The doors were in front of them too and Charmcaster tossed Micheal out of the doors as he begged for forgiveness and the power drained out of him. Jen set Gwen back on her feet.

"Please! I need you!" Charmcaster shook her head, shooting an apologetic look at Jen as the doors closed behind her. Micheal was still screaming out female names that began with H. Jen shook her head.

"Shot yourself in the foot there Micheal." The doors vanished and Micheal turned towards them. They ended up finally arresting him and sending him off to Incarcecon. Kevin shook his head.

"Not the best of rebounds." He stated and Gwen shook her head at him.

"Not really." Jen said and took off for home. Gwen pecked Kevin on the cheek.

"Kevin, I love you but you need to learn some tact." He frowned as she pulled him along to a small coffee shop they sometimes went to when Jen wasn't with them. They ordered and waited. "So I wanted to talk to you. I got accepted into Friedkin University. It's got the program I want, it's Ivy League. And it's on the other coast. I start in August." Kevin grinned.

"When are we leaving?" Gwen grinned and pulled Kevin into a kiss.

"You're the literal best. Thank you for coming with me." He smiled.

"Of course I'm coming with you, I love you. Besides I could use a break from all of this madness. No offence to Jen, she's a great friend but I need a break from her lifestyle." Gwen nodded.

"Grandpa Max has a few files for us to look over. For her new partner." Kevin sipped his coffee.

"She's not gonna like that." Gwen shrugged.

"She really doesn't have a choice, according to Grandpa Max the higher ups want someone to keep an eye on her, a Plumber officer if not a Magister." Kevin nodded.

"Makes sense. And it'll give me time to finish up my GED." He smiled at her as she took his hand.

"I love you Kevin."

"I love you too Gwen."
