A/N: This story has a Marvel character in the story. In this story, Ben has a sister that most of the family did not know about, even Gwen didn't know about. The reason why I'm adding a Marvel character in this story is because I want to mix DC, Marvel and Star Wars with Ben 10. I hope you don't mind with this.
The appearance of these characters in the story are their Ben 10 Alien Force/Ben 10 Ultimate Alien designs. Their designs are way better than Omniverse in my opinion. While the fanfic stories takes place during the Ben 10 Omniverse era, its design will be as I mentioned.
I did not really like the Ben 10 Omniverse, but I liked certain characters. Rook Blonko was one of my favourite in the series. Khyber and Malware too.
Bellwood
World could never be this great. Boring Bellwood. Saving the world so many times, the people mostly from threats such as the rogues, and one-time foes that would no longer come to cause crime or hurt people. He is at ease since war ended. Though there are mysteries on what made them stop, for all it's worth, there are no more wars, as though everyone has learned their lesson. But unfortunately, non-Universal threats, criminals, never learn their lesson, they are persistent, resurfacing and doing what they desire. All the more reason why there's a galactic police force to contain criminals.
In Ben's situation, everything appears easy. Now situation has grown a little intense because of Animo created an army of mutants, resulting in Ben asking in help from his allies because of the safety of the civilians. His allies Gwen, Kevin, Rook, his grandfather, the Plumbers
Ben as Eatle knocks down several mutants at ease, while firing green beams at as many mutants as he can blast from his horn.
Same period, Ben's allies are progressing well as they're almost finished defeating Animo's monsters.
Several minutes was needed to finish the rest. Blasting, smashing, and kicking. Finally, Animo's army is reduced to just one man.
Animo did not like the odds. It's unfavourable. He is surrounded by a legion of heroes from Bellwood. It angers him that he could never be able to permanently end Ben. He has grown incredibly powerful over the course of years since Ben started becoming a hero, the age of 10.
Eatle and his allies begin closing in on Animo.
"Mark my words, Benjamin, you have not seen the last of Doctor Animo!", Animo said, promising the time he will have his revenge. He was fortunate enough to wear a jetpack. He starts the jetpack, causing Animo to fly upwards.
"He's getting away", Kevin shouted, seeing Animo start to hurl away. "Gwen-!". Kevin was cut off when a beam was fired at Animo's jetpack, causing a small outburst from Animo's jetpack that made him start plummeting. It appears Kevin did not need to tell Gwen to do it.
Animo is falling.
The beam is made from the energy of the Force, but Ben did see something different about this one as if he's seen this version of the Force before.
Gwen stepped up, launching a an energy field beneath Animo in the form of a soft surface, so Animo could land safely without harm.
Animo landed the energy-constructed surface, and did not get hurt.
"Nice shot, Gwen!", Kevin complimented.
"It wasn't me", Gwen claimed.
"Huh?", Kevin said in surprise.
"It was her", Ben said, looking up. He transformed back to his Caucasian-skinned human-looking appearance. He can feel her presence nearby. For what reason it was for her to stop somebody is no danger to her, or should be a concern for her regarding Ben's safety is on verge of being discovered by Ben.
Everyone looked at Ben as the latter looked at them.
"Can you sort this whole mess out?", Ben asked his friends. "Please".
Ben's composure triggered Kevin's chuckle. "Dude, what's going on, you on a hot date?", he said teasingly.
Gwen saw her cousin is actually serious about this. She can see the serious expression. She sees her grandpa walking toward Ben.
"Ben?", the grandfather said. "Something you want to tell me that's bothering you. You're not really this serious-".
"She's here, grandpa", Ben addressed.
Glances are exchanged between Gwen, Kevin, Rook, and the Plumbers. They're wondering who is Ben alluding to.
Though nobody knew who Ben refers to, Grandpa knew what Ben was talking about. He lowers his head. "I understand", Grandpa said. He steps back.
Ben lowers his eyes on the Omnitrix. He dials on his selected alien: Jetray. He slams the watch, resulting in himself turning into a red, humanoid manta ray-like alien. Using the power of flight, Ben flies away, heading to the person he's keen on meeting.
Elsewhere in Bellwood...
The watcher has seen much of the battle between the heroes and Animo's army. She's proud of one particular person having grown to become a hero. And she just saw him leave his team. She's fully certain the boy did not go far just to find what he's searching for. He already knows where she is. And the she is her.
"Wanda?"
Lady slowly turns around, hearing her name. Her name being called didn't cause her to know he's here. She sensed his presence, she felt him coming to her. Their connection is as strong as since the first years of the boy's life. She looks at the boy, the boy named Ben. She smiled at him.
"Jeez, it really is you?", Ben said, walking over to Wanda's side. He wraps his arms around Wanda.
Wanda responds: hugging Ben back.
The duo hugged for a long moment.
"Missed you so much, sis", Ben said in a happy way.
"I couldn't stop thinking about my little brother", Wanda said. She's grateful for this sibling reunion brought about. It may not have been an eternity, the amount of months passed was pretty long.
They finally parted.
"I'm guessing there are more plans to your visit in Bellwood", Ben said.
"At home", Wanda said, preferring their conversation should be done at their place.
"Home", Ben said in a calm way, exhaling deeply as he reflects on their home.
Ben and Wanda's Home
Arriving at their home, Ben and Wanda come to the sight the whole house is clearly empty as though nobody had been here ages.
"You haven't kept our house clean. Months it's been. I expected you keep the place clean till I come back", Wanda said.
"Well... a particular someone decided not to teach me how to use Force", Ben said. Times when Wanda kept the place clean was due to her powers.
Wanda paused, turning away from the sight of the piles of items lying everywhere. She chuckled, turning to look at her younger brother. "Good point", Wanda said. She descries the smirk Ben showed, which prompted her to counter with a decisive blow by saying "oh I don't seem to be the only one with powers". She makes a sign of gesture pointing a finger at her left wrist to show, and remind Ben he has the Omnitrix so he could technically have cleaned the place up.
"I'm sorry mom, I didn't know I can use the Omnitrix to solve all my problems", Ben joked.
Wanda sighed, smiling. She lays her hands up, preparing to cast a spell. As she spoke the lines of her spell while her hands perform gestures, her spell starts occurring, making the entire area in the house instantly clean.
A clear difference between shades of black and white, a moment where Ben saw blackness transitioned to the purity of white; the whole room all clean.
"You are right, though. I should teach you the Force. You're growing up, and you inherit our parents' powers, some point you require training", Wanda said.
"Did mom and dad train you?", Ben asked.
Hearing the mention of their parents compelled Wanda to pause for a moment. Her expression froze when she changed to being unhappy. "They did", she answered Ben's question. "Dad taught me a lot: qualities of morality, how to control my powers, my temper, my fear, my pain, and to never give up".
"Your months away from Bellwood, was it because you wanted to search for our parents?", Ben asked, wondering if Wanda was just trying to restore the whole family that it should've been, which got taken away during the same time he was born in.
"No", Wanda said, shaking her head horizontally. "That's actually what I came here to discuss".
"Discuss? Don't recall family discussions ever a thing", Ben said.
"We're going to start a talent show", Wanda said.
"Talent show?", Ben said in questioning manner.
"You are a celebrity, are you not?", Wanda said.
"Uh... unwillingly", Ben retorted, reminding Wanda his heroism was outed by a kid. "But yeah, what made you think we should start a talent show?".
"Entertainment", Wanda replied. "Considering your appearance made in the festival over a month ago, inspired the idea we should give happiness to the kids. They love Ben 10".
"Are you doing this to make fun of me, or did Rook put you to this?", Ben asked.
"Rook?", Wanda said, thinking who Ben is alluding to.
The way Wanda sounded implies she hasn't met him. "Never mind", Ben said, acknowledging Rook didn't tell Wanda to start a talent show. "Is it for charity?".
"What do you think?", Wanda said rhetorically, smiling.
"Okay... I'm in", Ben said.
Wanda's smile grows brighter. She does smile, she can do it, but hiding under the shadows of this bright smile is the unhappy expression indicating that she wasn't just making plans for a talent show, she had other things that she needed to do that she didn't want Ben to know. The better for Ben to not know, the better they can all move on as though nothing serious happened during Wanda's presence out of Bellwood.
In a Plumber Base in Bellwood...
News about a particular person's return to Bellwood is swift and easy to hear, specially from the old man who's grandfather of this person.
The conversation about this is happening in base between Rook, Gwen, Kevin, Julie and grandpa.
"Ben has a sister?", Kevin exclaimed, shocked to learn Ben had a sister that Ben never told to him or anyone.
Gwen herself is shocked learning the existence of Ben's sister. She was certain the only people Ben would put his greatest trusts is on her, Kevin, Julie, Rook and grandpa.
Grandpa nodded to Kevin, confirming it is true, and it is not a joke.
"I've read through most of the Plumbers files about Ben. None of those files said Ben had a sister", Rook addressed.
"That's because it's classified", Grandpa responded. "The relationship between Wanda and Ben is too important in Ben's childhood. Apart from me involved in Ben's growth, Wanda was the one carrying out most of the job keeping him going with life".
"Is that why everyone is prohibited from coming Ben's place?", Gwen asked.
"Yes", grandpa said.
"But why?", Gwen enquired.
"Wanda is stubborn... she doesn't trust anyone, not even you", grandpa said sadly.
"Well who can blame her? I mean one time Gwen had her body switched with a pervert just to seduce Ben-", Kevin recalled, only to stop when Gwen gave a death glare.
"I thought we explicitly agreed never to bring that up ever again!", Gwen said angrily, remembering how embarrassing it was when somebody took over her body, and did awful things.
"Look, I'm disclosing about her existence because I was informed she was starting a talent show", grandpa said.
"A talent show? Let me dig a look at her. She's got to be hot", Kevin said.
In response to Kevin's comment, Gwen gave Kevin an elbow as though showing signs of jealousy.
"I'd advise you don't personally meet her", grandpa said, looking at everyone. "all of you".
Everyone exchanged glances in confusion.
"While I don't exactly know why Wanda would be organizing a talent show, I do know her well enough she doesn't show the same kind of hospitality Ben shows", grandpa said. "just be careful if you ever run across her".
Gwen was having her suspicions about this lady named 'Wanda'.
Ben and Wanda's Home
Hours after getting resettled back to the home Ben was raised in since birth, the siblings are presenting ideas what their talent show shall present.
Something crinkling under his skin that's making Ben rub his chin is making him believe this talent show is heavily in the influence of Force.
During the planning, they had already ended dinner.
As a result of finishing dinner, Wanda floats some plates onto a shelf and wipes a cup down with a dish rag.
On the other hand, Ben is pushed to think what they should do in the talent show.
"Come on, Bennie, you must have something up your sleeve", Wanda said playfully.
"You tell me. You wanted to start a talent show", Ben said. "Which in no offense toward you, I have no fondness for performing a serious of moves just to entertain the fans. I'm a superhero".
"None taken", Wanda said. "How about skateboarding, or in your way, turn into a Flourana, and ride on a hoverboard, do tricks?". She sees Ben turning his head away. She knows Ben was forced to remember where this suggestion originated from. "I've seen you perform tricks with the hoverboard".
"I was only 10 that time. Me, Gwen, grandpa. We were on summer vacation", Ben recalled. "Since ideas from the past are brought back, I could jot that one down".
Wanda smiled, glad Ben is deciding to embrace the past. She walks over to Ben, kissing his forehead.
"You still didn't say what performance you'll be making", Ben reminded Wanda.
"My ideas are inspired by Zatanna", Wanda said.
"Uh... who?", Ben asked, never recalling the name 'Zatanna'.
"Disregard it. Old celebrity, long dead", Wanda replied. "You're doing great, Ben".
Ben suddenly received an alert from the Omnitrix. "I have to-", Ben said.
"I know", Wanda assures Ben. "Go".
After Ben transformed into XLR8 and left the house, Wanda was alone, or the scenery appears this way until Wanda wronged the thoughts by sensing another presence. "You can come out", Wanda said, while staring at the direction where Ben departed as XLR8. "Grandpa".
Grandpa appeared out of the shadows.
Wanda finally turned, looking at the old man. She bestowed half-smile. "I see you've told Ben's crew about my existence", Wanda said.
"They would've discovered it the other way", Grandpa said. "Doesn't seem like you care no more about guarding information, keeping in mind you're starting a talent show with your brother involved", Grandpa said. "You know they'd be suspicious had I not told them".
"I'm aware", Wanda said. She then thought about Grandpa talked with Gwen, Kevin and the others. "They are still aware the house is off-limits?".
"They know it enough they could read it from a book", Grandpa said, displaying an annoyed look. "Why do you not trust them? Ben trusts them with his life. Shouldn't that spark a little serenity?".
"Ben can be wet behind the years", Wanda said. "Being deceived leads to greater problems that he'd be forced to live with; mistakes and consequences".
"The kid's proven most times he can handle intense problems without my guidance", Grandpa said.
"What if Gwen, his most trusted ally, turned on him for his love for Kevin Ethan Levin?", Wanda said, causing Grandpa to pause.
"Gwen would not pick and decide to befit the needs of Kevin", Grandpa said, having known Gwen's character.
"Well bottom-line, I brought you back from the dead to preserve the close bond between the cousins", Wanda said, standing up, and reaching to the old man. "perhaps your opinions retain so long as you live, and not die by self-sacrifice".
"We've been over this a hundred times, Wanda", Grandpa said.
"I've been counting", Wanda reassured him.
Grandpa decides to change the topic with saying: "Is the talent show an excuse to cover up your months of absence?", Grandpa said.
Wanda lowers her head. She denied herself from answering her grandfather's question. "Good night, Grandpa", Wanda said. She finally leaves the room, knowing Grandpa will find his own exit.
While watching Wanda exit the room, Grandpa wondered if Wanda was stilling doing what he repeatedly told her not to do.
Gwen's House
Force is composed as an energy surrounding the field extending to unlimited reaches. The power of Force is once again used by Gwen as she tries to understand Wanda. She's using the Force to secretly listen conversation Wanda is apparently having with Grandpa. After she heard enough which stopped by Wanda saying 'Good night, Grandpa' she stopped listening.
She collectively gathered as much things she heard from the conversation. It appears as though Grandpa has actually died, which wouldn't make any sense. He was sent to the Null Void where he was trapped there. Ben found him, he felt him. She felt him the moment she embraced her grandfather after being forced to believe he died after his sacrifice. None of this adds up, especially as to how Wanda revived their grandpa. And if she did, why did she leave him stranded in the Null Void if she claims it was to 'preserve' the 'close bond' between herself and Ben? Grandpa must know the answers.
Ben's Home
Following a disturbance at one street with a crew resolved, Ben returns home.
He reaches upstairs, seeing Wanda sitting by his bed. He enters his room, saying "If it's about the list, I'll do it once-".
Wanda cuts him off saying "No. Not about the talent show. If you don't get that done, it's not the end of the world", Wanda said. "The end of the world would be death, destruction and despair. What I'm about to tell you Bennie is happiness".
"Happiness comes in many forms, Wanda, what's yours?", Ben said. "I thought you were excited about the talent show".
"Yes, which is why I need you coming with me. It's worth a week away from of Bellwood", Wanda said.
"Away, why?", Ben said.
"When we get there, I'll tell you", Wanda said. "Do you believe your friends can supervise Bellwood for a while".
"Gwen and Kevin? I do trust them", Ben said. He then turned his head, looking a little sad. "but since Gwen started college, and Kevin left with her, I've felt like working alone was my inevitable fate, and that I was meant to supervise the whole world myself despite Grandpa's advices I should be part of a team, and my current partner always saving my butt time and time again".
"You can't face the world's problems on your own Ben, sometimes you let others cover the work for you", Wanda said, placing a hand softly on his shoulder. "Besides, the more the merrier. You've been so exhausted fighting pointless battles, a hero would need rest. Even Superman would take a rest".
"Never knew you were a comic book fan", Ben remarked.
"Decide now", Wanda told Ben, not wanting to respond Ben's remark.
Ben sighs before asking "Does Grandpa know about this?".
Undertown
If a rumour is about a particular female well known to many appeared in Bellwood, the topic becomes serious to the point it assembles alien criminals and especially individuals who never commit crime.
"The Scarlet Witch has returned!"
"Has she?"
"The evil witch?"
"We cannot stand with another witch here"
"She killed my son!"
"Those who oppose the Scarlet Witch, flood over the waves of your fiery hatred over the damned witch as hence forth we shall set assaults on the ones she loves!"
So many exchanges of words expressed in hate over just one lady. To be fair, this lady is no ordinary. She is someone far dangerous than anything dangerously existed in the Universe.
A billow of expressive rage suddenly snaps to silence as they get dipped into the crimson emanation that covered the room they thought that could provide them a place to speak with nothing from the outside prying their things. Crimson light swallows the whole room, radiating all over the extra-terrestrial dwellers.
The doors suddenly opened, much to every alien's shock, where the entrance is located in. A shadowy figure with red irises with hands enveloped in glowing red flames, the same individual that gave a fearsome thunderstruck that gusted many away. They all pleaded for mercy, only to be permanently shut down by a tremendous stream of red energy engulfing them while they scream in agony.
A/N: Scarlet Witch, AKA Wanda, and Ben 10 are related as siblings. I hope you enjoy this story.
There have been a lot of mentions of 'Force'. In this story, Anodites like Gwen use the Force, not Mana. This is because of future stories.
If you guys want me to continue the story, I'd be happy to do so (:
