Smoke and Mirrors


Standing beside Ben with a studious look, Ken and Angela both watched as Ben's arms were bathed with glowing embers, the fire within showing no signs of harming Ben at all, in fact it looked like it spurred him on.

"So let me get this straight?" seeing Ben turn to him with a large smile, Ken spoke with Angela smiling sheepishly.

"While the others and I were saving the galaxy from this time bomb, a Meteor crashed near our campsite with Ben somehow being the only one awake to notice. And upon touching this… glowing, bluish white crystal, his X-gene alongside his apparent Meta-gene activated into a correlations of trial and error until it found a perfect combination of his dormant powers?" seeing Angela nodding while Ben jumped up higher than usual, his hands glowed with smoke acting as thrusters for him.

Staring at the sight, Ken adopted a mischievous smile, because as he stared up at Ben, his eyes drifted to a billboard behind him showing the smug face of J Jonah Jameson…

"Angela… How far is the nearest Convenient store with spray paint?" gaining a confused look from Ben as he landed, he turned to follow his brothers line of sight until he found himself scratching his head at seeing the billboard.

"Why would you need spray paint?" turning to the Thanagarian doctor, Ken instead kissed her lovingly, separating with a line of drool from their lips, Ken smirked at her dazed look before she spoke.

"A hike down the road on the right side of the road... beside the McDonalds" pointing to the entrance of the Park they were in, Ken patted a gagging Ben on the back.

"Follow me young one, I'm gonna show you the wonders of tagging with street art" getting an excited smile from Ben, Kevin was sooner dragged into this adventure with the trio waiting for nightfall… with Ken standing below the billboard with the telltale vents leading up to the buildings roof.

"Alright Ben, try that smoke dash through the vent, the ladder will need a nice punch to break the padlock" indicating the unseen path Ken relayed to Ben, the young Mutant/Meta? Dashed forward with a large grin, leaving the two in wait before they looked up at hearing a "WHOOOOO!" before it was followed by a thruster sound.

Looking up to see Ben land before the ladder, he gave it a frown before his right hand lit up with an orange glow, sending a punch, Ben winced at the metal.

Shaking his hand to get rid of the pain, Ben looked for an alternative… which happened to be a chain small enough for him hanging from a shack the workers use.

Smiling as he took the loose chain, Ben tested it in his grip before he ran to the lock, slamming the chain hard, he was surprised as it glowed with his power.

Sending the ladder shooting downward, Ken and Kevin moved quickly.

Joining Ben as they stared at the mocking face of Triple J, Ken flipped a Spray can in hand before holding it to Ben with an excited smile.

"The first honour is yours, sir Ben" seeing Ben grin as he took the can, Ken pulled out duct tape while ken brought out stencil cut outs.

"Let's make this thing worth looking at"


Getting up in the early morning, Ben gave a yawn as he stretched. Opening his swag, Ben inwardly smiled to the stunned commotion of the campers around them in the park, Ben spotted Ken taking a selfie with a giggling Akali who poked her tongue out, behind them sat the billboard of Jay Jonah Jameson… or it was, instead it showed James old smiling face replaced by a cartoonish reimagining of James… only it showed him of who he actually is….

A grown man in a adult diaper crying over spider man pictures.

The sight making Ben surprised by his artistic flair, moving to get breakfast, Aranea spoke knowingly to Ken.

"Gee, I wonder who did this last night?" seeing Ken turn to her with a deer in the headlights look, he looked to Ben for a second before snapping back to Aranea.

"My, whatever makes you think I did such, artistic show of truth" taking his cue, Ben made his way to food, with Aranea laughing at Ken as he sat with her in his other arm while the other held Akali, his right hand caressing her six pack.

"I missed you all so much" getting a giggle from Aranea and Akali, the rapping ninja (The good one) pulled her mask down to kiss Ken's lips lovingly, pulling away, she spoke softly.

"So did we Ken… felt empty without those hands of yours" getting a chuckle from Ken, he spoke.

"My magic hands left you all lonely, huh?"

"Hope being the most desperate, we had to anchor her down before she tried to go down on Ahri, who took her teasing too far that time!" looking to the left, Ken snorted at hearing Ahri's "I said I was sorry!" followed by Hope's "I'll forgive you after I impale myself on Ken"

Thus made Ken blush at the public display of enthusiasm of his… asset.

"Am I really that good to be addicted to?" turning to Arana, she gave a sly smirk.

"After Hope sets up that silencing spell, we'll show you just how much we missed you, Kenneth Tennyson" shivering at her husky whisper into his ear, Ken reached down and squeezed both of their ass cheeks, getting a moan of Akali who shivered while Aranea bit her lower hip.

"Oh we are so draining you dry" this only made Ken grin widely.
