B10 x MUs Chapter 15

After a long while with Ben becoming slightly more stable than before, the others were able to go on in and see him, though he hadn't regained consciousness yet sadly. It was surprising seeing him like that and made them uneasy. They all were chatting about what exactly had happened and how he'd seemed like he'd had no cares about being injured before because it was more like a game to him, even though he was able to be serious when needed. This really annoyed the female spider hero.

Ghost-Spider let out an annoyed sigh hearing them talking about Ben being so confident in hero work "You're hopeless." She told them annoyed at how they described he's attitude.

Ben sighed stretched out with a chemistry textbook sitting beside him as he had his head on his cousin's lap exhausted from all the studying for the upcoming mid-term tests, they were under one of the various trees at their university. It was a fairly decent day thankfully as they were relaxing from prepping for the upcoming tests. It was often a paint to find a place to study without people bothering them for various things, sometimes for help studying, sometimes for other things. Honestly it was kind of annoying, it was the worst around mid-terms and end of year exams.

Gwen sighed in response to her cousin's statement about schooling. "You're hopeless." She'd told him annoyed with his attitude about studying.

"Ouch." Ben spoke with a laugh and smiling joking around, even now he didn't really let the stress get to him, or maybe that was just his way of coping? She wasn't really sure. "You know me, I'll do fine with your tutoring."

"Would you take this seriously?" Questioned his redheaded cousin annoyed by his laid back attitude for the situation.

"I'll do fine, after all.." Spoke our watch wielding hero as he stretched out and then placed his arms behind his head. "I always do." He smirked closing his eyes relaxed about this situation to which Gwen became more annoyed.

Sighing again she looked at her cousin annoyed because of his laid back attitude about the whole thing and bonked him on the forehead with her knuckles. "WAKE UP!"

As Ben slowly opened his eyes he took notice of the sound of machines beeping and people arguing and talking around him. His eyes hadn't adjusted just yet sadly. Slowly he tried to look around and blinked trying to get his eyes adjusted while trying to ignore the pain his body was in currently from what had happened. He'd really have to return the favor at some point if he could, though Grandpa Max always said holding grudges wasn't something that was worth doing. Coughing slightly he'd gotten their attention as they slowly came into focus and the other heroes walked over to the side of his bed.

"Hey there, how you feeling?" Agent Venom questioned being the first to speak up to the alien changing hero asking how he was feeling.

"Li-ke.. Sh-it." Ben answered while coughing between his words telling them that he felt like shit at the moment.

"Well, at least he's up to joking around, that's a good sign." Tony spoke having taken his helmet off at the very least.

"What is wrong with you, he almost died!?" Demanded Ghost-Spider annoyed that they were joking around about Ben's current condition.

"Fu.. fail-sa-fe." Spoke our watch wielding hero getting their attention once again, though confusing them. "ca-n't.. die."

"What do you mean exactly, you told us you were mostly human, and humans can totally die." Questioned Frost wanting to know just what the hell he meant that he can't die, and what he meant by a failsafe.

"Wa-atch. Won't. Let. Me." He explained to them pausing between words as it was hard to speak. "Be.. s-su-p-pris-ed w-what can l-live th-rough."

"Wait, so you're telling us, no matter what happens that watch will keep you alive?" Questioned the Red and Blue Spider themed hero hearing that there was a failsafe keeping him alive.

"Y-e-s.. G..G-ho-st sp-spi-der." Nodded Ben as he then asked for Ghost-Spider's attention to which she walked closer to see what he needed.

"What is it?" Asked Ghost-Spider to Ben curious what he'd ask for her about, maybe it was about why he'd called her by her name earlier, that did still bug her.

"Pu..push s..sides.. d..di-al." Spoke our alien hero as he asked her to push the sides of the dial on his watch, though confused she obliged which made it popup and showed display of different forms. "turn sl-ow."

Confused she slowly turned the dial not sure what she was supposed to be looking for but did as he'd asked of her, he knew it better than they did after all. "What am I looking for?"

"There." Ben spoke quickly before coughing because of how painful it was to talk the form she'd stopped on was some sort of strange pointy thing that seemed to be tall and seemed to have spikes on it's arms. "Pu-push down."

Ghost-Spider looked at the other heroes around not sure if she should do it or not, but the others seemed to nod their approval so she slowly pushed it down. When she pushed it down a bright almost blinding green flash appear around Ben making him change and appear a pale green possibly plant-like form. Slowly this form regained it's color changing to a vibrant light green with a muscular build. His face was colored yellow, red, and orange like that of a vibrant flower and his. This form had black colored hands, and four yellow claw-like fingers with spiked knuckles and yellow holes in the palms. There was also six red horns with yellow spots resembling flames with two on each forearm, and one on each shoulder, along with a green spike on each foot, knee, and elbow. There was also a large collar raised up around his neck which was yellow on the inside, however it was completely organic and a part of his body as well. Finally, the Ultimatrix M.U. symbol was located on the center of his stomach.

"Swampfire!" Called out the new transformation as he jumped off of the medical bed and ripped the medical equipment out. "Oh ya that's much better."

Everyone was caught off guard by his sudden miraculous recovery from his previously near death state, but ultimately it was Ghost-Spider that spoke up first. "What the fuck?"

"Oh ya, Swampfire can regenerate from possibly anything." He then explained to them all about his specific transformation while flames erupted into his hand that wasn't covered by a cast and began to just burn through all the stitches and casting and stuff.

"Are you sure that's safe?" Emma questioned watching him burning the casts and the stitches off confused.

"It's fine." He answered accidentally setting himself on fire and burning through putting holes into his body and burning his arm and leg. Though after putting it out his body regenerated again. "See, just fine."

The medical staff came barging in and freaked out seeing Ben gone, they hadn't realized that the new individual that had appeared was Ben and so were confused as to why the heroes weren't fighting them. But they soon took the notice of the symbol of the Ultimatrix M.U. and put two and two together. He then waved at them and began doing stretching exercises to show them all that he was back to being better surprising them at how quickly he'd recovered. After the medics just gave him the all clear, mostly because he'd created fire in one of his palms as incentive to help speed things along, they all moved their conversation to the conference room instead.

"Oh ya, you said something back after the building fell on you, care to explain that to us?" Questioned Spider-Man as Swampfire changed back into human Ben.

"I dunno what did I say exactly?" Ben questioned them taking a seat in his usual spot at the table asking what exactly he'd said.

"You called me Gwen." Ghost-Spider explained about what he'd said to them exactly with a sigh. "We were preforming emergency medical procedures at the time."

"Oh." He spoke with a sigh hanging his head hearing that he'd called her Gwen. "Sorry about that, Gwen is the name of my cousin back home, she's been my best friend since we were ten years old."

That explained why he'd called her Gwen it seemed, he didn't actually know her secret identity at all. He'd just called her by his cousin's name on accidently. "Oh, we didn't know."

"That's fine, I didn't really tell any of you after all." Ben spoke waving off their apologetic looks as if it was really no big deal to him. "So back to the task at hand, anyone able to get any trackers on that thing?"

"No sadly, whatever that jet was coated with it made the spider-tracers slide right off, and Stark's tracer didn't work much better." Spider-Man spoke with a sigh saying that it sadly did not work when they tried to put a tracker on the Jet.

"Damn, Emma, you get anything with your abilities?" Questioned the watch wielding hero asking if their resident telepath was able to get anything out of them at the time.

"Sadly no, too busy trying to keep you alive. We didn't know the watch would keep you from dying at the time." Emma Frost answered back with a sigh saying that she also didn't get anything.

"So back to square one then, great." Ben sighed hearing that they weren't able to track Taskmaster and their sword wielding psychopath.

Nick Fury chose that time to walk in for the next mission briefing, and had told Ben that the new girl, Ghost-Spider, had agreed to join them for hero work. They'd have to try handle an infinity war on top of the civil war going on together at the same time. Though Ben didn't really need to worry from that at the moment. He was half listening to Fury only really paying attention to the important details as he was setting the communications frequency to work with the Ultimatrix M.U. so that he wouldn't have to carry around a device again. He also was setting it up to scan for the cosmic radiation given off by the infinity stones.
