The big Apple never sleeps
The moment Zombozo screamed like a dying women, Spectre rushed at him with a demented laugh, and seeing the vampire clown flinch while shielding his eyes, Ken phased through him in order to dive into the mind of Thumbskull, making him shriek in pain until he began laughing similar to the likes of Joker, standing like a puppet he turned to Zombozo and Frightwig.
"I never liked playing fair, but let's see how you fair against all bronze and no Brains!" rushing at the two with surpirising speed for Thumbskull, Frightwig moved to restrain , who grinned widely as he grabbed her hair and yanked her towards them, making Frightwig pale in approaching horror as she was held close to Thumbskull.
"By what you said before, you were into some kinky shit, allow me to get started" with that he began to "Tie" her with her own hair, leaving her a blushing mess as she was set down in her own restraints.
"HEY, what the hell, you can't do this to me with my own HAIR of all things!?" watching as Thumbskull turned away, he slouched forward with Ken's form leaning from his back with mischief clear in his own lone eye.
"If you want I can always use my tentacles?" seeing her pale face bright red at the thought, Ken sunk back into Thumbskull's mind, just in time for Zombozo to try and drop kick him away, only for his meat suit to grab the offending foot and hold it there, allowing Ken to lean back out to hiss at Herbert who squealed.
Just as the towns people began to file out of the circus, Ken's sabotage working perfectly.
"SO, vampire clown… any words you wish to say to the may people you tried to steal from?" staring at the Ectonurite, Herbert gulped while looking over the growing crowd of angry patrons as police arrived.
"Well, crud" turning back to Ken, his head ripped open to reveal an upside down skull hissing at him, making the crowd back away as Herbert screamed before fainting, allowing Spectre to cover his head again.
Patting himself down, he exited Thumbskull's body.
"I don't like that" turning to Thumbskull who shivered, Ken spoke.
"Sorry big guy" placing a hand on Thumbskull's head, the giant gave a yawn before falling unconscious, leaving Frghtwig conscious.
"Uh…. I'd like to confess and cooperate" turning to the police and Spectre, he approached her silently while undoing the BDSM styled restraints, allowing Frightwig to rub her wrists and arms, her cheeks bright red until she felt a lone tentacle caress her ass cheeks, making her blush as Ken gave a low laugh, moving away he gave a nod to an approaching officer before vanishing, leaving a confused Frightwig who patted her ass cheeks, blinking at hearing crumbling paper she reached into her suits pocket to find a phone number, along with drawing of a chibi Spectre at the bottom right.
Leaving Frightwig blushing deeply before she was guided away, her cooperation easy to follow with her mind all over the place.
And returning to Gwen and Max's side, Ken held a smoothie in hand.
"So what I miss?" turning to Ken who grinned playfully, Max spoke.
"A rip off"
"With an ego like Zombozo's something was up the instant I saw the billboards" seeing Ken hold a Smoothie to both Gwen and Max, they took them happily while Ken held one more for Ben.
"SO where to next, Grandpa?"
"New York!" was all Gwen said with unhidden Glee, making Ken laugh. Failing to see a Red headed woman watching him through a pair of binoculars.
Stepping into the Five star Hotel with Ben, Gwen and Max ahead of him, Ken looked over the fancy interior with a low whistle, a duffel bag on his right shoulder, he took one glance to the right to see a VIP gamesroom, with one lone guard glaring forward.
The minute Ben saw the games on display he went to go inside if not for Ken to pull him back to Max and Gwen, leaning down Ken spoke.
"Let me try and get inside first, little brother" seeing Ben blink he grinned at Ken who began looking to the prices, reaching for his phone, he took a glance at Max who was looking over the room prices, and seeing Max about to pay, Ken spoke.
"Hey grandpa, I'll pay this one" seeing Max blink in confusion, Gwen turned with a raised eyebrow before Ken approached the clerk.
"Two VIP rooms please" seeing the clerks eyes widen alongside Max's, Gwen's and Ben's, Max spoke.
"Ken, you don't have the money!?" turning to Max who gave a small, accusing Look, Ken spoke sheepishly.
"Let's just say I thought ahead" bringing his credit card and ID forward, the clerk took the payment with four VIP badges held out to them.
"Thank you for the purchase, sir. You're rooms are one floor below the Penthouse" nodding while taking the badges, Ken held one to Max who stared firmly at Ken.
Who sighed while putting it through Max's favourite shirt, Gwen dumbly took her badge while Ben hesitantly took his own, turning to the games corner he shook it off while they followed Max to the elevator.
The moment the doors closed, Max turned to Ken who steeled himself.
"Where did you get the money, Ken, and it better be an answer I want!?" turning to Max with a stiff nod, Ken spoke while raising the Omnitrix.
"I used Diamondhead for an emergency if we ran out of funds" seeing Max stare at him with wide eyes, He spoke.
"Ken, that is a misuse of the watch, what if someone got suspicious and told the authorities!" turning to Max, Ken spoke calmly.
"I took it to a diamond shop, told them I found them after a battle I was in, no one the wiser!" raising his hands in a placating form, Max inhaled slowly…
Oh shit he's mad.
"Kenneth Tennyson"
YUP, HE'S MAD!
"I thought I taught you to work for you're money, not Skip ahead and cheat" staring at Max, Ken spoke.
"Max, I didn't do this for selfish reasons, I barely touched that money during the entire Vacation until now!" turning to Ken, Max spoke with growing anger.
"You say that but I don't know if it's true!" seeing the anger in Max's stare, Ken only gave a look of betrayal.
"Of course it's true, what do you take me for a power hungry nutjob!" seeing Max turn to him, Ken stared back.
"I don't know, and that's what worries me" seeing Max turn away, Ken only stared at him silently before the doors opened with two people stepping inside, one an elderly women leading a teen with brown hair.
"I have to tell you Aunt May, this place is too pricey for us, we don't even live that far" stepping back for the two to step inside, the lady spoke with a soft chuckle.
"And I said we should try and have one night of comfort Peter" stepping back for the two to enter, Aunt May, THE aunt May and PETER FUCKING PARKER stepped into the elevator before the two noticed the four.
"Oh, I'm so sorry I didn't notice this was full, we can take the next one" seeing his chance before things escalated, Ken stepped out with a smile.
"I'll take the stairs" seeing him smile, May smiled back with a nod.
"Oh thank you, young man" seeing not much room, Peter spoke up.
"I'll take the stairs as well" seeing Peter squeeze out, May blinked at him before he smiled.
"Good exercise for us young ones, Aunt may" seeing her shake her head, May spoke.
"Just be careful alright, don't want you falling on the stairs" seeing him smile, peter spoke.
"I'll be alright Aunt May" with that the doors closed, with Max sending a look at Ken who turned away with a slow inhale, running a hand through his hair, Peter spoke with a knowing look.
"Family trouble?" turning to the FUCKING Spider man, of all people, Ken spoke with a nod.
"Saved money without my grandpa knowing, paid for the VIP and we ended up having a heated argument" nodding with a frown, Peter spoke.
"And what's wrong with that?" without thinking Ken raised the Omnitrix while displaying the form of Diamondhead.
"Alien made of diamond in this thing…" staring forward with his eyes widening, Ken looked to Peter who blinked at him in alarm.
"Wait… ARE YOU TELLIN-MFFFFPH!" grabbing Peter's face to cover his mouth, Ken looked down the hall for a second, eyes wide in alarm, he turned to Peter with a hushed tone.
"Don't fucking yell" seeing Peter nod, Ken released him while rubbing a hand over his face, leaning against a wall.
"So, you're those… aliens on the news lately?" giving Peter a look, Ken nodded with a sigh.
"Yup, haven't really thought of a hero name yet, cause half of them all sound stupid" snorting with peter, the teen spoke.
"Yeah, they're has been word about a kids show on the web in development… is that four armed guy actually Scottish?" now it was his turn to snort at Peter's question.
"Oh hell no, Four arms just sounds like a wall of sand paper being rubbed on a voice box as it's being used" wincing at the thought, Peter spoke.
"Ouch, sounds painful" shrugging, Ken spoke.
"It's his species I guess" standing up with a grunt, Ken fixed his duffel bag.
"Nice meeting you, peter" holding a hand to shake, Peter blinked at him in alarm until Ken spoke while nodding to the elevator.
"Aunt May's waiting" winking at Peter the two made their way to the stairs, with Peter rushing down.
"Don't fall Speedy Gonzales!"
Walking up the stairs with a sigh, Ken mentally prepared himself for the upcoming argument with his Grandfather.
half and hour later
Stepping into his own room with a tired sigh, Ken threw his duffel bag onto one of the beds, Gwen followed beside him with her own bag of belongings, staring over the many furniture, Gwen turned to the very large TV.
"Wow" turning to her with an amused expression, Ken looked over the city through the window.
"Yep, the view of the Big apple, just wish it didn't start with an argument" moving to sit down, Ken gave a sigh while enjoying the soft fluffy cushions.
"OH cooooool, we even have a selection of movies to watch!" turning to Gwen who stood at a full on cupboard of dvd's beside the Flatscreen.
"This is the VIP, of course they'd have it all" seeing his younger cousin turn to him, she spoke.
"Did you really use those diamonds for us?" turning to Gwen with a small smile, Ken spoke while sitting forward.
"Gwen, you, Ben and Max were the first things on my mind when I got the money, I just don't understand what max doesn't understand about that?" rubbing his eyes, Gwen spoke while sitting down on a couch beside him.
"You know how he was when we were younger, hell he taught my dad who taught me, money is better when you earn it with your own hard work, hell even in the Rust Bucket we've had to earn our keep, just not as bad as I made it sound just now" chuckling at his cousin's words, Ken spoke.
"So how is my fellow Ken, why didn't he tag along, we could have brought back to dynamic KenKen duo" seeing her laugh softly, Gwen spoke.
"He's been looking into high schools and colleges for himself and me performing the older brother job like you do with Ben" nodding in understanding, Ken sighed while looking for a TV remote… finding one he turned on the Tv to switch it to the news.
"Let's see what's on todays forecast" perking up, Gwen spoke.
"Grandpa wanted us to visit Lady Liberty, oh and the prince from Wakanda is visiting his embassy" turning to Gwen with a frown, Ken spoke.
"Oh a prince, does my little cousin have a crush?" seeing her blush, Gwen spoke meekly.
"He is handsome, but out of my age group" snorting at his cousin, Ken turned to the News showcasing a small accident in one of Ozcorps testing sites, gaining a frown from Ken as he paid full attention.
"Ozcorp, lowly assholes" grumbling that while standing up, Gwen gave a frown of confusion.
"What was that?" seeing Ken open a fridge in the kitchen, he brought out a can of cola.
"Ozcorp is full of nothing but greedy assholes, one of them came to my high school looking for potential employee's but he gave us all a sneer because we weren't up to standards… didn't help I broke his nose for insulting a friend" taking a deep sip, Ken went to go on until the news switched to an emergency.
"And of course in New York, there's always thugs robbing banks" moving to a window, Ken looked back to Gwen who raised an eyebrow.
"What should I tell Grandpa?" looking out the window, Ken spoke with a shrug.
"Tell him I'm doing hero shit" with that he jumped out the window with the Omnitrix beeping.
Making Gwen run to the window to see Big Chill flying before vanishing.
