Ben Pov
We stayed in silence throughout the ride until Danny spoke up.
"How did you guys get out anyway?"
"Neo channeled his inner child and hid us in the middle of a dress rack."
Danny let out a little chuckle and looked at Rex in the rear-view mirror.
"Seriously?"
Rex lightly blushed.
"Shut up."
"Anyways, after I woke up, we turned into a couple and we just walked out."
"Oh and that's not all, because Neo decided to turn into a rather attractive woman, a lot of the employees either tried to grab his ass or use pickup lines on him."
"I have a new respect for women."
I laughed at Rex and his blushing face."
"Good you should."
Me and Danny kept laughing but we stopped as soon as I turned onto my street.
In front of my house were news vans and at least 20 reporters sitting on the curb and another 10 sitting on my front porch. All their heads looked up when they saw us coming. Their heads drooped down when I drove past them.
"Shit."
I agreed with Danny and turned onto another corner.
"Igris, what are the chances you can turn the entire car intangible and invisible?"
Danny stayed in silence for a little bit.
"I have never tried before, but I'm sure I can do it."
"Ok, as soon as I turn back onto the street, turn the car intangible and invisible so I can just drive into the garage without them noticing."
"Got it."
I did a U-turn and drove back to my street. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see that Danny had transformed into his ghost form. As soon as I turned onto my street, I saw and felt the car turn invisible and intangible.
Some of the reporters heard the car and looked around confused, as we got closer, more and more of the reporters started to look around, trying to find the car.
"I c-can't hold it much longer Cas."
"Almost there, hold on."
I turned into my driveway and into the garage door. As soon as I was safely inside with the car, Danny suddenly dropped the invisibility and intangibility panting heavily. The garage door opened and I saw Gwen, Kevin, Julie, Grandpa Max, and my parents run in.
They looked surprised when they saw us as we got out of the car. Gwen and Kevin came up to us first as we took off our masks.
"How did you get in here through the reporters?"
"Igris used his powers to get us in here."
My mom and dad walked around them and held me tightly. I was surprised by their hug.
"I'm still alive guys, what's with the hug?"
"Son, we saw the scars."
I stopped and felt my face pale. How did they know about the scars? I got out of the hug and looked at Rex and Danny, Rex looked confused and Danny looked somber. He walked forward and said quietly.
"When we were running away from the security guard, I put you onto Neos shoulders. But, we didn't notice that your shirt had ridden upon you. So, so when Neo turned around to run, the camera was able to record your lower back."
He was silent and everyone was silent.
"They saw?"
Danny nodded his head slowly. I felt anger explode inside of me.
"This is all your fault!"
I yelled at Danny and he just let me yell at him. I walked forward and grabbed by his collar.
"You should know that those scars are the last thing I want anyone to see!"
Danny had his head turned to the side and mumbled a quick sorry.
"Sorry? You're sorry?! IF YOU HAD NEVER KNOCKED ME OUT, THEN THEY NEVER WOULD HAVE SEEN THEM!"
Again, Danny stayed silent and didn't look at me. This only angered me even more.
"WHY DID I EVER TRUST YOU?! YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!"
Rex grabbed my wrist and glared at me.
"That's enough Ben, you need to calm down before you say something you don't mean."
"FUCK OFF!"
I grabbed Rex's wrist with my other hand and wrenched it away from me. With the grip I still had, I pushed him away from me while keeping eye contact with Danny.
As soon as I pushed him away, Danny eyes widened and pushed me away.
"Rex!"
Danny ran towards the crumpled figure on the floor. I realized in horror that it was Rex. That should be impossible, no normal person can throw someone that far.
I looked down at my hand and nearly cried at what I saw. My hand was surrounded by green mana. I must have used it. My stomach sank to my feet when I looked back up.
Rex was bleeding from his head and was being held up by Danny as Danny tried to talk to him.
'How stupid of you.'
I heard a sickeningly sweet voice inside my head.
'Is this how you treat your family? How cruel of you'
I put my hands over my ears to try and block out the noise.
'No wonder they locked you up, if this is how you treat your family, I don't want to see how you treat strangers.'
"GET OUT OF MY HEAD!"
I grabbed my head tightly and screamed until I was breathless.
"I need to get out of here."
I let go of my head and used the Omnitrix to turn into Big Chill. I heard everyone start yelling my name as I flew out of the house. I looked down to see the reporters looking at me. I turned invisible and quickly flew away from my house.
Where can I go, just a place for me to be alone for a while? Anywhere will do. I gave a small smile as I remembered the weeping willow tree that I used to visit when I wanted to be alone.
I quickly took off flying towards the weeping willow tree, I want to get there before anyone can find me.
