Hexed in the face

Stepping around a glass container that held an ancient mask, Ken leaned down to look through the eye holes beside his brother, Natasha waiting at the door with her arms crossed, she wore a loose fitting white blouse with a pair of Jeans with brown leather heel boots, scanning the room with a critical eye, Ken looked at her for a second before sighing.

This was how the vacation had been going after being literally recruited for the Avengers, and at this point Ken was surprised the Justice League hadn't come for him yet, well he did kill a poacher but he see's that as justified… asshole had it coming anyway.

Thinking back with a smile at Aranea and Venessa giving him a big hug for a farewell, Ken felt his chest flutter at being called a dad by the little Kineceleran, the memory making his smile wider as he followed Ben to the tourist group where the curator bestowed the sight of an old book.

"It contains ancient witchcraft and rituals from the late sixteen hundreds" turning to Gwen and the Curator, Ken hid a smirk as the lady spoke hotly.

"Maybe you should work here, dear" watching the walking bag of bones walk off, Ken moved to Gwen's side alongside Ben.

"Don't let old mummy face get to you, she's probably older than that spell book" that was his cue to walk around like a mummy beside Ben who made a face, making Gwen snort before the museum shook, making Ken's eyes widen at remembering just who came by, looking down as they began to levitate, Ken turned to see Natasha hanging into a doorframe while her eyes scanned the room.

"Something tells me, this isn't on the tour!" flipping himself upside down to the ceiling, Ken stood calmly as he looked dow-up-uh… well he looked at the floor.

"Oh you don't say Gramps!" turning to Max who gave him a look, Ken smiled slightly at the sight before looking up-down to see a swirl of smoke before a man appeared before the Spellbook.

His entire outfit yelling WARLOCK!.

"The Arkamada book of spells. All of it's power shall soon be mine!" moving the Omnitrix dial with a smirk, Ken looked down at a bright flash.

"FAH-ME-DOOF!" pressing down as the glass shattered, Ken stood in the form of Reaper, only this guy was called…

"Wraith!" was the raspy growl as Ken became immune to the spell while falling to the ground, smoke swirling around him, he landed with a thud with Hex turning to him with his staff raised, looking up at hearing startled screams, ken gave a groan as he flashed into Hermes, zooming around to catch and set down the tourists, he returned to see Hex had taken the book, turning to him in alarm, Ken returned to the form of Wraith.

"If you want a book, check one out the Library, it's free as well" approaching the warlock with Widow sneaking behind him, Hex aimed his staff with one of the charms on him glowing.

"Bethi-Mordor-Nat-ARGH!" sending a punch into Hex's gut, Natasha flew in with a spin kick that nailed Hex in the throat, knocking him off balance Ken took this moment to right hook to sleepy land, looking down with his face conveying confusion, he turned to Natasha who had her own look of confusion.

"That was anticlimactic" giving her a nod of agreement, Ken looked down at Hex before yanking the charms off of his being, looking them over with a critical eye, he shrugged while slinging them over his shoulder, grabbing Hex by the head, he dragged the sleeping wizard out the museum with the crowd cheering him as Natasha snuck out of sight.

Looking over the crowd, a squad car flew onto the sight with Ken approaching the officers as they stepped out, gulping at the imposing figure of Wraith, he held Hex for him to take.

"Goofball tried to steal a spell book, here you go" waiting for the officer to grab Hex, Ken grabbed the staff in his hand before snapping it in two, making wisps of magic rise from it, he gave a shrug.

"Have a good day, sir" nodding to the officer, he gained one back before turning to the crowd, seeing the paparazzi move towards him, he gave a groan as he had mics in his face.

Seeing one about to speak, Ken raised his hand to halt them.

"Before I get bombarded with questions, please one at a time" seeing the reporters step back, a familiar head of black stood out from the other reporters, making Ken tilt his head in confusion of her being here of all places.

"Lois Lane of the Daily planet in Metropolis, for the people over the world to know, are you and those harboring that symbol a team of heroes moving to mirror the Justice League?" looking down to the Omnitrix on his belt, Wraith gave a deep chuckle that unnerved all but Lois who blinked at him with a raised eyebrow.

"Team?, I'm only one guy who can shapeshift" looking to his family, Ken spoke with a more cheerful tone.

"I'm only doing what I can to protect those who can't defend themselves, my family included" shrugging with his arms crossed, another reporter stepped forward.

"Sir, what do you think of the rep Jonah Jameson from New York has against you after assisting Spider-man?" deciding to be an asshole, ken purposely scratched his head, fully knowing the ass was watching.

"Um… who?" this got a small chuckle from the crowd before another reporter spoke.

"Are you at all hoping to Join the League if they recruit you?" looking up in thought, Ken shrugged.

"I was until I got a recruitment notice from a Security force, and to be honest it's starting to look tempting the more I think about it"

"And who is this security force?" shrugging, Ken spoke while turning away.

"Confidential, sorry" slapping the icon on his belt, Hermes took Wraith's place before speeding away. Before returning in his human form to join Max's side, with Natasha low fiving him.

Tapping Gwen's shoulder she turned as he set the sling of charms on her.

"Don't say I get you nothing" winking at Gwen she smiled while looking over the charms.

Frowning at the glowing of one, an officer stepped through the crowd, making a man nearly trip on her as an officer passed by.

"Looking for any other evidence people, please back away from the scene!" feleing them guided away, Natasha found herself leaning On ken's back at a rude officer, making them both glare at his passing form, they spoke in unison.

"Dick"

Following that was a small trip to the local china town, with Ken sitting beside Max while Natasha looked at a menu beside Gwen while Ben and Kevin were eating bowls of ramen.

Leaning back, Ken looked to Gwen to see the charms around her waist, smiling at the sight, Ken reached around to tickle her right ear, making her lightly slap his hand away, he looked away as she turned to him, frowning at him Natasha smiled as she tickled her other ear, keeping her eyes on the menu, Ken snickered at the sight with Gwen giving him a knowing smile before they all turned to see Ben give out a belch, patting his stomach, Max spoke.

"Ben, a bit of manners please" perking up, Ben spoke sheepishly, while Kevin shook his head with a smile.

"Uh, excuse me" snorting at that, the group sooner found themselves walking through the mini festival goings on, looking around, Ken and Natasha spotted Gwen walking ahead with Ben before they two moved to a hotdog stand.

Moving towards them, they stopped at hearing a voice.

"Help, they stole my purse!" turning in confusion, Ken and Natasha shared a look as three thuggish teens ran towards them, seeing this Kevin went to sneak around for a easy attack.

"That's far enough!" stepping forward while cracking his knuckles beside Max and Natasha, the woman gave a deadly smirk.

"Oh, I'm shaking right now" seeing the one with the purse smirk while reaching for a knife, Ken rushed forward with the teen showing surprise as he was kicked in the stomach, sending him gasping, the big guy rushed at him until Natasha rushed at him, spinning her body around his, she tossed him to the ground, knocking his head into the stand, the contents flew into the air with hot oil splashing the last guy in the face.

Making him scream until Kevin knocked him out with his right hand covered with concrete.

Seeing this, the thug was about to get up until Ken grabbed him by the vest before sending a right hook, breaking his nose while Ken took the purse.

"Get a job, easier to get money that way" looking around for the owner, who approached with an officer.

Seeing her relieved smile, Ken smiled back while handing it back.

"Thank you young man, if only their were more like you around" shrugging with a smile, Ken spoke.

"There are, they just like to hide in plain sight" getting a small laugh from the gathered crowd, they set in for the night… with Ken sitting in the passenger seat of the Rust Bucket, looking over the Omnitrix, he turned the dial several times before jotting down a note after it gave off a different beep, turning it again Ken gave a yawn, shutting off the Omnitrix, Ken rubbed his eyes.

"Can't sleep?" nearly jumping a the sudden voice, Ken gave a loud sigh as Natasha smiled down at him knowingly.

"You did that on purpose, didn't you?" seeing her look in thought, she spoke smugly while sitting down in the driver seat.

"Maaaaybe" holding a cup of coffee to Ken, he took it calmly while sitting back, looking over his notes, Natasha frowned in curiosity.

"What's all that?" looking to her with a frown, Ken looked to his notes.

"Trying to figure out the watch, see if I can unlock it's secrets" he said the last part like Gullom did with the ring of LOTR's movie, this in turn made Natasha snort.

"So why aren't you asleep, I made sure I didn't make any noise" seeing her look out the window, she spoke.

"I'm use to taking shifts keeping an eye out during missions, Kind of woke myself up" seeing Ken look at her with a frown, he looked out the window in thought, seeing the city streets still lit slightly, he gave a look of thought before getting up.

"Screw it, get dressed" seeing her frown, Natasha spoke.

"Why?" turning to her, Ken spoke while replacing his shirt, showing his well fit body that made Natasha's eyes roam against her better judgement until he hid his gift with a form fitting shirt.

"We're going to a midnight stroll" stepping outside with a sigh, Natasha sooner joined him in a snug jumper with sweat pants and boots.

"Alright, we're outside what now?" turning to Natasha with a smirk, Ken merely walked forward.

"We're going to explore the nightlife" gesturing for her to follow, she shrugged while doing so.

The following morning, found Ken sitting on the passenger seat once more, only this time a snug Natasha slept on his lap, a blanket draped on the duo, Ken had his arms around Natasha.

This was the sight Ben and Gwen woke to as they got through the morning, with Ben shaking his head knowingly.

"Another one?" snorting at this, Gwen followed Ben outside the Rust Bucket.

With the two moving to a small game of basketball, with Gwen scoring more than Ben who had scored five while Gwen had twenty, this getting a pout from Ben.

Moving to speak, Kevin stepped out of the RV with a yawn.

"Alright, who tricked that Agent lady into sleeping with Ken?" turning to Kevin with a growing Blush, Gwen spoke.

"I don't think that's what they did last night, I remember waking up hearing walking outside so they must have gone for a night walk" shrugging at her answer, Kevin looked to the ball before speaking.

"Whose winning?" Ben merely pointed at Gwen who smiled sheepishly.

"Me" moving to speak, Kevin flinched as a nearby construction sight exploded, seeing this Kevin went to call out to Ken… only to nearly jump as he stood behind him… without his shirt on, staring at the rising smoke, Ken dialed the Omnitrix.

"And I haven't even had breakfast yet"

Welp, Harley's in the Harem now, which brings me to my next question, should Ken pop up in a Suicide squad mission, i have an idea on how to meet Harley when they unfortunately head through Gotham City.

warning i may try and make that scenario as gruesome as possible, cause i mean it's Gotham, what do you expect?
