Ben POV
It's been about 2 weeks since Kevin and Gwen came for me. They're still here, they're just waiting for me to gain weight again. With the food Caesar has been feeding us, we have all gained about 15 pounds. We still have a long way to go to be back to our normal weight, but according to Caesar, if we keep on eating as we did, we will gain it in no time.
I looked at Danny and Rex as they napped in the sofas. It was noticeable that we all gained weight. We no longer look like sacks of bones. Now we look like sacks of bones with a little bit of meat. A small difference, but a small thing can make a world of the difference.
I think right now it's just me and the boys, Caesar and the others left for groceries and other small chores.
There was a small knock on the front door. Danny woke up for a little bit but I got up and told him to get back to sleep. As I walked down the hall, I put on the ID mask and transformed into a little kid. I opened the door to see that there was nothing but a box on the doormat.
'That's odd'
I stuck my head out and looked around at the surrounding houses, there was no one in sight. Not even cars. I picked up the package and took it inside. I made sure to lock the door before I took off the mask. I walked to the living room and sat back down on the armchair before I opened it up. Danny and Rex woke up when they heard me opening it.
"What is that Cas?"
"I don't know, it was on the front door. It has nothing written on it. Should I keep on opening it."
"Hang on Cas, give it to me for a second."
I handed it over to Rex and he used his nanites to check if there was anything mechanical in there. After a little bit, he gave it back to me, saying that there was nothing mechanical in there.
I finished opening it up, and there was nothing in there but I saw a folded up piece of paper. I looked up at Rex and Danny and I was relieved to see that I wasn't the only one that was suspicious.
I grabbed the piece of paper and opened it up.
"Run, they know where you are, be gone in the next two days."

Danny took it from my hands and looked at the calendar. It was on the 24th of March. Danny jumped up
"Neo, call your brother and tell him to get his ass over here now. Cas, come with me to pack everything that we have. Help me get rid of the stuff that could show we were here."
"But we don't know who they are. We don't know if this is a trap?"
"Who cares Neo, it's a hint, we need to leave as soon as possible."
Danny ran down the hall to our rooms. I looked at Rex and gestured for him to hurry up and call his brother. I ran to my room and grabbed the travel bag that was under my bed. I quickly and carefully stuffed my few belongings into the bag. I made sure to grab my toothbrush and hairbrush. I looked around the room and saw that there was nothing left that could show that I was here. I ran into the hallway and almost ran into Danny.
"Go back Rex's stuff, make sure that you don't miss anything."
"Got it. I went into his room and stuffed everything into the travel bag that was under his bed. As soon as I was done. I heard the others come home. I ran to the living room where everyone was, with my bag and Rex's bag in my hands. Danny was explaining everything to them. Everyone ran into different parts of the house to get rid of the evidence that there were more than 2 people living here. We had to throw out trash, blankets.
We all met back in the living room.
"Is everyone ready to go? I threw everything into the incinerator"
"We have one? know what never mind, what are we going to leave it, when are we going to leave. I have to get Neo and Cassius out of here."
"We can go in my car."
"No, they can follow us that way."
"Then how are we going to leave, it's not like we have to time to ask Azmuth if he could teleport us!"
"There is a way for us to teleport but I'm not sure I'll be able to do it."
We all looked towards Danny, he decided to elaborate on what he meant.
"Part of my powers include creating a portal to teleport, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to do it. I haven't exactly gotten the chance to practice for the past three years."
"What are the chances you'll be able to do it Igris? We just want to make sure the three of you get out of here safely."
Caesar stared at Danny as he had a thinking look on his face. A couple of seconds, he said what he knew.
"I'm 40% sure that I'll be able to do it. If I'm not able to, well have to find another way to get out of here."
"Then what are we waiting for?! do it now!"
"Calm down Kevin, we're going to have to move so they won't be able to find an energy signature when they come here tomorrow."
Danny went to the back yard without warning. We followed him out with our stuff. We got out of the house in time to see Danny jump to the fence to get to the empty lot that was next door. We quickly jumped the fence to go with him. Danny transformed into his ghost form. I heard Gwen and Kevin gasp in shock, Noah quickly shushed them. I could tell that whatever he was doing, required great concentration as I could see his drops of sweat from where I was standing.
A couple of minutes passed before a small green and black circle appeared in front of Danny, then it disappeared. We exchanged looks before we silently agreed to let him try again. Soon, the small green portal appeared again, but this time, it was steadily getting bigger.
"Hurry up and jump in, I can't hold this for any longer!"
"Where does it go?"
"It doesn't matter, just get in!"
Rex ran in with his stuff, I was going to run when I looked back to Gwen and Kevin. I quickly ran back to them and gave them both a hug and Gwen a kiss on the forehead.
"I'll see you guys later, tell my parents I love them."
I ran to the portal and jumped into it. I landed roughly onto the ground, a few feet away, Rex was offering his hand to help me up. I looked around, the island we were on was floating. and the sky had green and black swirls. I heard a thump behind me and turned around to see that Danny was with us.
"Where are we Igris?"
"Well, Neo, Cassius, welcome to my home, the ghost zone."
