A week that was the time which he had to get his stuff ready and move to the main academy, Ben could only groan in frustration about his predicament thinking that if the omnitrix was active then he could've used clockwork to get rid of the paper and this getting rid of the whole problem altogether.
"Well you cant get everything in life" ben said and read through the book which they gave him about the academy, it was an giant book about the rules and infrastructure, blah blah blah, etc.
Ben looked at the books which he needed to read ben looked at the list and seeing it, the ammount of books that he needed to buy and LEARN something inside ben broke.
"Is this for an school or an college? " Ben's eye twitched looking over the list again.
Ben took deep breaths 'it doesn't matter I just need to read them only once but' ben shuddered thinking about all the paper work he did as the president of earth.
'My horrible luck will follow even my education' ben looked a bit dead in the eyes and walked out of his house to buy the material for his school.
An hour later ben was outside the store with two large bags in both hands filled with books 'god they were more than I had thought and that's only for middle school, then I can only dread what high school has in store for me!'.
Then ran to his home and started to read what ben had missed during his stay at Ben's current school and it was an entire book so ben had a lot if work to do and an week was cutting it a bit close.
"Only of I could go XLR8 I could finish the whole course in an second" ben said out loud as ben read the book.
...
...
"Ding ding".
Ben looked at it and saw that it was Brenna he then remembered that he had sent her an message about the transfer to the academy before he had gone to buy the material for the classes.
"When did it happened?" She asked.
"When? Ah just 2 days ago" ben replied.
"Two!? why didn't you tell me and how?" She asked.
"How what?" He asked back confused.
"How you got in?" She asked.
"Well I wrote an paper which got there attention" ben told her.
"Which paper?" She asked a little confused.
"Don't tell anyone what I am about to tell you" ben typed after a little thought 'it's not like she is an snitch, besides I am pretty sure that I can trust her with the truth besides I don't want to lie to her about this'.
"Alight" ben could imagine her confusion.
"Well it was that middle school project that I told you about, you remember that?" Ben asked her.
"I do wait don't tell me that?" She asked. Ben could already imagine the disbelief on her face.
"Well I accidentally mixed some papers of an side project that I was working on, and they were interested in it" ben typed.
...
"What was it" she asked.
"Well it was about gravitational waves, and my side project had something to do with it" ben typed.
"You are kidding right?, like what are the chances of them giving an project related to your side work, that's some next level luck".
Looking at that message Ben's eye twitched 'you have no idea'.
"Well whatever, the fact that you are gonna go to the main academy with me is an good thing this way I wont be too board".
Ben was confused "you don't have friends there? What about that girl who you told me about messie or something?" Ben asked her.
"I have friends but most of then are boring and as for Melissa she has her own work I cant bother her just cause" she typed ben could imagine her rolling her eyes.
"That so" ben said.
"Well don't get your Hope high cause who knows which class I'll be an part of" ben said.
"It doesn't matter, at least I'll have someone to talk on equal grounds, I told you that you should come with me you are wasting your talent but nooooooo! You said Its a pain".
Then she sent another message.
"If only you weren't so lazy about school then with your memory and put of the box thinking could put you on par with the smartest minds here but noooo, you said I want to chill out and waste all my potential" ben groaned 'great she is starting to go into lecture mode'.
"I know, I know, but now I am here so it doesn't matter right?" Ben typed faster than XLR8 'don't want her to gain momentum or I'll be stuck with her for an hour hearing her lectures.
"Ohh look at the time I need to complete 3 giant books in an week so I normally need to go" ben told her.
"Fine" she said.
Ben then hurriedly put his phone down and relaxed.
"Man that was close, now I can chill" he said happily but then his eyes fell on the books.
"The bane of my existence" ben said.
For the next days ben did work to catch up or talked to his friends, etc.
Then came the big day to go to the I academy.
Ben looked at it and it was humungous which made him a bit worried that he might get lost but nonetheless he needed to get rid of the papers and divert there attention to something else ' I'll just edit the equations a bit but not too much that they will notice anything'.
The academy was in colour of white and diffrent shades of blue it was good but ben was getting a little sick of seeing all the blue and white everywhere.
Ben had given an test the day before and manager to pass with good score so there was only ths need to go to the principal's office and go to his class and see his lab and start to hack there computer find the files about the project edit them a bit and make something related to the original topic.
"No pressure right" ben shrugged and moved forward to the principal's office after a few minutes ben found it and walked towards it at the side there was an lady who ben assumed was the one he had to see before meeting the principal.
"Excuse me miss, I was told to meet the principal".
She gave an polite smile "what was the time you were told to meet him also do you have an appointment?".
"Ah I think it was 7 as for appointment I was just told to meet him".
"May I have your name?" She asked.
"Benjamin kerby tennyson" ben gave her his full name though a but reluctantly.
She looked over the computer for a minute or so and then nodded.
"You can rest in the side the principal will meet you in 10 minutes" she said with still that polite smile.
Ben nodded.
10 minutes later that lady told ben to meet the principal.
Ben nodded and went to the door and took an deep breath 'ok ben don't let your childish impulses take over' and walked through the door.
Inside it was an white and blue color an sofa was on the side and an desk was in front of ben behind it was an large window instead of an wall which showed the garden outside, there were 2 people were sitting one an lady with blond hairs who was sitting on the main chair and the other was David shield who ben recognized due to Brenna sending him links about his research ben was indeed surprised with how intelligent the man was ben was sure that the Galvin's will consider him to be worth sending to there pre school, azimuth will be surprised that how did an dirt ball like the earth managed to house an person like him.
They gestured him to sit.
"Well I am sure that you have an idea as to why you are here?" The lady asked whomever ben assumed to be the principal.
Ben nodded "for the paper that I wrote" but internally 'to destroy that paper' was what ben was thinking.
They talked a bit and then ben nodded in short they were impressed with Ben's paper and wanted him to go to there school so he could finish it with there resources.
"Actually I made an paper like that a while back when I was an kid" David shield said "that was when I was an kid and had an dream of making flying cars but the final product was very expensive to maintain and be produced commercially and when I got older I kind of forgot all about it".
Ben nodded, then they told ben about the advantages of flying cars and how it can help humanity progress etc.
'Thank god that it was only those papers they only had the formula of the anti gravity field and a little more about space time relation but it was so well hidden that you have to look for it to find it.
A while later ben had completed his papers and walked away towards his classroom with an teacher who was Ben's homeroom teacher.
"Now don't panic or be nervous just introduce your self your likes and dislikes ok?" She said.
Ben nodded and followed after her.
They neared the classroom ben was honestly a bit bored at all the fiasco he had to do it was so boring not to mention that now he will have to work around the clock to make hover cars he think he remember the mechanism after all he had build things like time cycle as uprigg the transformation of jurry rig and upgrade, so he remembers some of the things that he had build when he was older.
The teacher nodded at him ben remembered that he didn't get her name.
"All right Ms?" Ben asked a bit unsure as to how to address her.
"Its Miss Smith" she smiled "I am a bit new here".
Ben nodded she had shiny violet haired with violet eyes looking around early 20s.
"Thanks I'll try my best to not make trouble for you" ben said.
She nodded and opened the door of the classroom and entered ben followed after her.
The class took was normal with white and blue color with a little over 30 students.
'It appears that they don't shy away from getting all the talent they can get looking at this room at least 40 students can be easily sit but I guess looking at the No. Of classroom they like to keep the number around 30' ben observed.
There were 5 class room for 1th years with what ben could tell.
"Now introduce your self" Miss Smith's voice pulled ben out of his world.
"I am ben Tennyson I like smoothies, chili fries I don't particularly hate anything but clowns annoy me".
The teacher nodded thanking her lucky stars that he didn't pull off any stunts she had heard that an girl in 1th year had pulled off an stunt which gave her teacher an headache.
"You can go to your seat" she said pointing to an seat.
Ben nodded and walked to the seat 'nice and perfect' were the only words ben could think looking at the seat.
It had an large table with an screen on it alone with retractable keyboard, the chair was normal made of wood with retractable arms rest.
Ben sat on it and went through the homeroom and the other classes and was bored to death.
' .Now.' were Ben's thought.
'So annoying and I have to spent years like this no, at this rate I'll burn out' ben thought, the work which they gave there students was a lot.
Just like that a few weeks went by with ben looking for any back up drives so that he can get rid of it fast and an month after that ben had found out all the stuff he needed so that when he deletes the files he wont miss anything.
Sunday morning ben was in his room he had told his parents and friends not to disturbed him.
Finally I can get rid of it ben thought excitedly. After an month of torture ben was finally able to complete the goal that forced ben to change schools, wait I cant exactly change school by now ben realized.
'Well whatever for now I need to delete the papers' ben thought.
He started the computer and started to hack 'thank god that I learned this stuff at plumbers academy and that Kevin helped me a bit so it shouldn't be that hard to hack earths systems 'he thought ' uggghhhh I need to make sure that they couldn't track me or track the signal any near the island or they will know that someone from the island hacked there system'.
'I think that I should make dummy signals around the globe so that even if they notice me hacking they will not see only one computer but thousands across the globe'.
Ben started to hack there system's after preparing the web of signals 'with this it'll be like finding an needle in an haystack'.
For 15 minutes ben was typing on the keyboard on an steady pace and stopping only for an second or two.
'This is easier than I thought, it's kind of disappointing shouldn't this place have security at the same level as that of the most secured prison on this planet Tartarus was it not?'.
'If so then I am really worried that the prisoners there will escape someday' ben thought with an annoyed expression he was really disappointed.
But than suddenly there systems started to fight back Surprising ben so he started to counter it 'thank god that I made the web already or it might be a bit troublesome'.
'Now where are you where where' he looked at the information on the screen 'there!'.
Ben started to delete and edit them all 'thank god that they have things in digital now or else I will gave to do it the old fashioned way by breaking into the storage facility and burn then with hand'.
"And done" ben said aloud.
"BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEPBEEPBEEP"
"BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEP"
what!" Ben looked at the computer and saw that the other side had destroyed half of the web that he had build and was heading straight toward Ben's signal.
"How!".
Ben started to work on it but "it's no good it's like they have some sort of super computer which Is attacking me on it's own not an human".
At the I Island storage facility in the main monitoring room we see 10 people looking at an giant screen which was showing the web which ben build but it was half destroyed.
"How long?".
"10 minutes" the chief of cyber security nodded.
With ben he looked at the computer with wide eyes "its almost like it's an sentient computer".
Now more than half of the web was destroyed which Ben spent an hour making.
ben started to get to work.
At the monitor room "sir they are resisting I am having trouble seeing".
They all looked at the person who said that he was sitting on the chair with his finger connecting to the computer's USB port.
"What do you mean?".
"I mean I can't walk through it alone I need back up, at this rate they will get whatever they want and get away without us knowing anything".
"Even you with your cyber quirk need our help?" They all looked surprised at that revelation this person's quirk helped that person project there conciousness into the computer as data, this person and defended there island for 30 years without any trouble but now not only someone got through his fire wall without knowing but was also was capable of fighting back that was unheard off.
"Hurry to the stations" he said then rest of then ran behind that person as he held his hand to them his fin looked like an USB.
5 of them held his fingers and they all felt there consciousness being projected to the battlefield.
With ben he looked as 5 more computers appeared and started to push him back.
"5 more how!" He exclaimed.
He fought back "at this rate they will know that I am from I island" ben thought 'how are they doing this'.
"Wait they are working like humans on an battlefield but it's too strong and fast for an human".
Then Ben's eyes lit up "is it an quirk".
"I see" ben smiled "well, well color me surprised".
"Well but humans make mistakes like we all do, I was treating it as an AI but you are an human then that changes everything".
Ben simply sent an self destruct virus to the signal of web he had created and just like that it all went boom.
With the cyber team they were in the computer world running and dodging Ben's attack but suddenly the entire world started to crash.
"Boss it's all being destroyed if we don't go back to the real world".
"I know we all will be destroyed along with it" he said and got quite 'damm it'.
"Retreat".
With ben " well I can at least provide you an path back" ben then typed some more on the computer and went away.
At the control room.
"Ahhhh" the 5 people and the one with cyber quirk screamed and separated falling on there back.
"Wjat happened" the chief asked.
They all looked down.
"Well, Jim?" The chief asked there leader.
"We lost" he replied.
With Ben "thank Celestialsapiens that I was cautious and created that self destruct virus".
Ben learned back on the chair and stretched chs arms straight.
"Man that was fun but now I need to make those floating cars then it'll be K-OK" ben said.
The next day ben walked to the school while keeping an eye on the security and the professors of the university but no one acted strange they all were looking fine.
'So they decided to keep the breach an secret they probably only told there boss who might have asked there best agents on the case, the professors of the university know almost everything on the island but they didn't tell them which means that they wanted to keep the populus clam' ben thought.
At the school ben met Miss Smith honestly Ben thought that she was an super cool person just Ben's type someone who ben would like as an partner if he was an hero like before.
"Yo Miss S. Why the long face?" Ben asked cheerfully after all he was in an great mood due to destroying the papers.
"Its nothing" she said with dark circles below her eyes.
Ben looked at her she had sunken eyes her hairs looked like they were done hurriedly which she never does not even if she has to be late for work os it means that she had not done them since yesterday 'so that means somehow she was at school the whole time she didn't go home and stayed till now without sleeping looking at her red eyes it looked like she was in front of the computer screen the whole time' ben deduced.
"You look hagged" ben said "didn't get any sleep?".
"Yeah the higher ups had an emergency meeting which I had to be a part of then they gave me a tone of work which I haven't completed yet" she said.
That made Ben a bit surprised did it involved ben destroying the papers.
"Really what was the meeting for" ben asked.
"Nothing that important really" she shrugged.
"Really you can tell me I wont tell anyone" ben said and got closer to her and poked her sides with his elbow "you can tell me, is it an suprise exam or test, project" ben said with an small grin.
"Nothing like that" she placed her hand on Ben's face and pushed him away.
"Come on" ben said as he signed his arms around "you can tell me I promise I wont tell an soul" ben said.
"Its got nothing to do with your tests" she said as ben was trying to get close to her.
"Chill teach" be said but then ben felt something soft caught on his palms 'ah it feels squishy and warm comfortable... where did I felt that before?'.
"BEN!" An scary voice akin to that of an furious lioness called him.
Ben looked at Miss Smith and 'oh boy now I remember it was kai and ester and many others' it was the chest of miss smith.
"Ahh Haha ahhh ha" ben chuckled nervously but it came out as an whimper.
"It feels good" ben said unconsciously making her eyes winded a bit but then got furious again.
"Wait no I didn't meant that" he said but still her aura was getting stronger and a little faster "no I meant that it was not bad no not that it was no I am saying that it was an accident".
Ben waved his arms wildly around him denying all it.
"I swear it I really wouldn't line never touch you not even if hell freezes over a thousand times".
She got a bit clam.
'Thank my swift silver tongue' who knows how many times it saved my life.
"So you are telling me that I am unattractive that you wont even touch me even if the world came to an end?" She asked in an scary voice.
"Ah I didn't mean that, you are plenty beautiful and gorgeous" ben said nervously "you know I didn't meant it like that".
"Wrong move" she then punched ben straight through the stomach making ben keel over vilgax would be proud.
...
At the class 1C ben was sitting looking at the board with an board expression. There math teacher was teaching them equations and stuff which was 11 or 12 grade level stuff and ben was I'm 6th grade age 10.
At the break during cafeteria ben was with Brenna standing at the line waiting for his turn.
"So how was your time here" she asked.
"It was fine" ben said after thinking a bit "the work is kind of hard but I'll manage also I've got an cool teacher who is fun to be around".
"Really I thought that you would whine a bit more about the work" she said with raised eyebrows.
"Nahh you are right at first I thought that I was in hell but as time passed it got a bit bearable" ben said scratching his head.
"That so" she said a bit suspicious at ben then shook her head 'whatever if he fails then I can just beat it into him'.
Then her expression brightened a bit "oh right do you remember Melissa" she asked.
Ben thought a bit "ah that scientist's daughter?".
She rolled her eyes "yeah her Melissa shield".
"What about her" ben asked as the cafeteria lady gave them food.
"We both are free today and I am eating with her" she said "as a matter of fact she is waiting for me at the back".
"Oh that's nice you finally got an lunch mate" ben said happily as he followed her.
"That's not it I just don't have enough time for things like that" she said.
"That so" ben teased her.
"Shut up" she said "unlike you I am an attractive young girl with just an snap of my fingers everyone will come running to follow my commands".
Ben looked surprised "Oh then mine own queen what doth thee wisheth of this humble s'rvant" ben said dramatically.
"Shut it" she hissed.
"Nay t's mine own duety as thy s'rvant to- ohmfff" ben couldn't finish it cause his queen him with her elbow.
"Your queen says shut it" she said.
Ben was holding an table as his support and had his head down he raised his finger "one sec. I'll be right there" he said "crap you sure you don't have an strength quirk?".
"No and stop being an child and follow me" she said and started walking.
Ben Hurriedly got up and ran to catch up.
"So this Melissa girl? How is she?" Ben asked.
"She is amazing you'll find out your self later" she said.
That got ben curious Brenna was an proud and arrogant person but this Melissa managed to impress her so she must be at least on the same level as her.
"What's with you I mean you never praise anyone like even if they are the best like jack was the best in our class" ben asked curious about what brought this change.
"Its not that ok I am still the same" she said "but this Melissa girl is just that good, she is literally an genius on my level and when it comes to mechanical and engineering stuff she might be better than me, just a little but it's her ideas or out of box thinking that I respect".
Ben nodded.
"Hey Melissa" she said in her now normal tone making ben raise an eyebrow. Ben looked at the person she was talking about and saw an blond girl with aqua blue eyes wearing glasses.
The girl smiled at brenna "hi sorry that I couldn't eat with you I had a lot of work to do".
Brenna nodded "it's fine we need to complete our work first then other stuff".
She looked at ben "and this is?".
"Hi I am ben Tennyson" ben said.
"He is an old friend of mine" Brenan said.
She nodded at ben "hello I am Melissa an friend of Brenna".
"She told me a lot about you" ben said.
"Really!" She looked surprised "I hope that it's only good things".
"Yep she just wouldn't stop about how smart you are and stuff like that" he said.
"Oh!" She blushed a bit at the unaccepted praise.
"Why don't you sit" she asked.
Ben nodded and they sat and talked during which ben found out that Melissa was an brilliant girl really bright and smart it was her thinking and ideas which she gets what made Brenna impressed not only that she was an intelligent girl ,or so than her father.
But the fact that she wanted to be an hero but didn't had an quirk is what made ben impressed with her.
"You don't have an quirk!" Ben was surprised, Melissa was a little bit worried as to how ben will treated her after finding our that she was Quirkless.
"What an surprise I don't have one too" ben said ben was surprised he knew how many times he needed to fight kids whom wanted to bully him but to ben being Quirkless so he was surprised that she looked fine and happy with herself.
"You don't have an quirk as well?" She asked with a bit surprise and with a hint of comradeship? Curiosity? And many other emotions which ben picked up.
"Yep no quirk, at all ben said smiling "but I don't need one if anyone bullies me then I just beat them".
Melissa was a bit surprised "beat them but how don't they have quirks, how can you fight them without one".
Ben smiled "its easy I just punch them you don't need an quirk to be strong, it's just an cherry on the top" ben said "you gotta need to train your body and you'll become strong".
They talked a bit more till the bell rang "I am in class C, if you need anything drop by".
She nodded "I will nice to meet you ben".
"You too melissa sheild it was an fun lunch" ben smiled at her "see you around".
And then they meet at lunch sometimes because they didn't had any time outside of there research but they exchanged contacts and made an group with them 3 in it and discussed there research ben was working on the floating car Brenna was researching teleportation quirks since she herself had one Melissa was working on many things but at present she was working on an personal project which she said will tell ben and Brenna when its complete.
Soon ben was used to his new life and was dealing with an serious inner dilemma.
"Melissa its serious I need you" he said.
"What is it" she asked with worry ben had as long as she knew him never sounded so worried.
"What is it now" Brenan asked ben.
"Its serious the fate of my entire world rests on this" he said Seriously as he looked at them.
Brennan's eyes twitched.
"Here" ben brought two drinks to Melissa's mouth "taste these".
She looked confused but none the less took an sip.
"So tell me which one is better?" Ben asked.
"Uh the right one but they both are almost the same but I think that right one is slightly better" she nodded and drank the right one and then left one, then smiled but then frowned. Then looked at Brenna.
"Brenna you too try" ben said.
"Why are we doing this again?" She asked a bit amused at ben.
"Cause its very important to know which one is better and I am confused as to which one is better, this one is good with just the right ammount of spices fruits but this one has more flavor but they taste almost the same" Ben said.
She signed in defeat and tasted them "same as Melissa" she said.
Ben frowned and tasted them and singed in defeat "I guess you are right".
"Well let's go we need to buy some clothes for our self" Brenna said Melissa also nodded "we have wasted half an hour testing your smoothies, now you do as we say and tell us which dress is better" Melissa said as they walked to the cloths section of the mall.
"Hey I am doing this to make the ultimate smoothie for my store" he said "it's not an waste of time, my future Is hanging on the balance of your feedback".
They both rolled there eyes Melissa had found out bend addiction to smoothies and chili fries on the second day they met and it honestly was concerning.
"Whatever I'll help you in return for helping me so now I am all yours" he said.
Brenna gave an scary smirk "well don't regret it".
"I am ben Tennyson I don't have regrets" he declared.
Melissa shook her head and walked with them to the store.
Ben then helped them pick which outfit is the best for them and be there carry was not that hard Surprisingly 'maybe its cause they are young girls and not teenagers' ben thought.
Soon just like that they spent time like that working hanging out or just doing exercises ben insisted that they join an fitness center "an healthy body makes an healthy mind which helps in our work" he said so they joined now a5t the end of year 1 Melissa had completed her project.
She met ben and Brenna outside of the academy "um guys" she said as they were walking to the gate.
"Yeah" ben asked thinking she is acting weird.
She looked at Ben's face and twirled her hair "umm nothing" she said.
"Come on there is no need to be shy we are best buddies" ben said to her 'yep definitely acting weird'.
"Umm it's nothing but an childish thought" she said as she looked away.
Brenna narrowed her eyes at how she was acting.
"What is it tell us we won't make fun of you at least I promise as for this doofus" she looked at ben and let out an growl "if he let out as much as even an small smile I'll sent him to Antarctica" she looked at ben with an dangerous look that was saying 'I dare you to resist me'.
Ben shivered "don't worry you are an important friend to me so I'll be dead before I'll do anything that'll make you sad" 'well more like she'll kill me but same thing...I think?".
"Well tell me whatever it is you wanna show us we'll support you as long as it isn't harming towards you" ben said.
Melissa nodded slowly "well follow me" she then walked towards the labs ben and Brenna looked towards each others and then ran after her.
They followed her to her lab and inside ben saw it as it was always like equipment's laying around the table an blue chair an giant screen on the wall.
"So what is it?" Ben asked "don't tell me you've hit puberty" ben asked making an lame joke.
"Ouch" ben looked at Brenna who had slammed her elbow into Ben's ribs "what, I was just trying to diffuse tension" he said.
"Shut it with lame talk" she said "and that was not an joke, only an doofus like you could say that it is an joke".
"Guys here it is" Melissa was standing in front of them with her hands behind her and her head was looking at the ground.
Now ben was worried for her she was one if the only 2 friend he had in this world and ben Tennyson always looks after his friends.
"Melissa are you ok?" He asked "what is it that you were acting weird, now I am really worried for you" he walked towards her "look at me" ben said. Brenna also walked up to her.
Melissa looked at ben and ben could see it in her eyes fear, a little happiness and sadness so much fear of being rejected? And pain?.
"Look we are your best friends ok Melissa we will support you no matter what happens" Brenan spoke now "I am just wondering do you feel the same way".
"She is right we will support you no matter what even if we have to fight the world we will do so without any hesitation, ok" ben declared 'well I could solo this entire world alone with omnitrix but looking at how it hasn't appeared for 10 years I doubt that it'll be activated any sooner'.
Melissa looked at both ben and Brenna with happiness present in her eyes "you guys" she said with small droplets of tears in her eyes "look you" Brenan scowled ben "you made her cry" she punched his face.
"Ouch ouch ouch" ben was holding his head but Brenna was not letting it up "sorry sorry whatever it is that I did I promise I wont do it again" ben said in an loud voice with his hands in front of him.
"No its fine" Melissa said "it's fine I am not sad but happy" she said while wiping her tears "i am fine" Brenan walked up to her and hugged her while giving ben the stink eye "don't worry we are here".
"Hehe" ben scratched his head while looking at the two girls hugging.
A while later when things had clammed down Melissa looked at them.
"The reason I was so hesitating was because of the nature or rather the main reason of me working on that project" she said all the hesitation gone from her voice, ben could tell nothing will stop her in reaching her goal "it's an selfish reason and an absurd one" she continued after taking an deep breath "you both know that I don't have an quirk, right?" She asked them.
They both nodded they couldn't tell what her project have to do with her bring Quirkless.
"You see it was my dream to be an hero" she said "I wanted to be an hero but then I was told that I was Quirkless then it was crushed".
Ben didn't liked how she was talking "I'll have to stop you right there, haven't I told you that having an quirk is just an cherry on top there are many heroes that have useless wuirl that doesn't argument there abilities in any way but they still become an hero?".
Melissa looked at ben with an sad smile "I know and I can't tell you how happy I felt when I had met you, someone who had beaten people with quirks without any quirk, looking at you I was happy thinking that I too might have an chance but its hopeless quirkiness people can't apply for an hero course".
Ben and Brenna were sad hearing that 'damm this world' ben thought.
"But looking at both of you I didn't gave up you remember what you told me Brenna that I've got something that no one have that I am one of the 1% population on earth" begena nodded while ben looked confused "that no matter what quirk people have they won't have a mind as intelligent as mine".
She took an deep breath and said I'm an shaky voice "s-s-oooo I thought that-that maybe since I am an genius I'll just make one" she indeed said something absurd.
"Maybe I can make an quirk" she said hurriedly like she was afraid that some one will stop her and now she needed to get it all out "maybe I can make use of my intelligence to make an quirk an original of mine own" she said desperately.
"I know it sounds absurd but listen to me I had found an old comic you know the ones before quirks appeared it" she looked at both of them but for some reason she couldn't see there faces "it had an character who could use those small machines very small micro machines the size of an RBC there were trillions of them in him which allowed him to control machines and use them to make constructs".
She ran to an shelf and took an thin book out from it spit was burned but still readable "look it, like this maybe I too can make those nanites the micro machines were made by human scientists" she said showings them the cover of the comic.
Ben looked at it and as he had feared it said M-rex 'oh god what are you doing Melissa' ben thought but then he looked at her eyes and ben saw it again the panic of rejection and his heart melted.
Brenna was looking at Melissa with shock 'I knew that it was something out of the world but this is really absurd' she too looked at her eyes 'they say eyes are the window to the soul'.
Ben walked to her "look I have made some of them but they are still in development-" Melissa spoke but ben hugged her.
"Its ok" he said Brenna could feel his voice shaking a bit and there was something in it 'is that fear? But why is he afraid'.
He then looked at her and gestured her with his head she nodded and hugged her as well "it's ok we will help you".
Then they broke there hug and Melissa showed them an container which had some sand in it it wasn't moving but ben recognized it what it could do what it was 'nanites almost like the ones I saw in rex's world' how could he forget them he had seen it when he was trapped in rex'd world how it had mutated almost everything.
'I cant let it happen here no way but' he looked at Brenna and Melissa talking to each other happily and giggling 'I can't just crush her no way dammit'.
"You guys" Melissa took there both hands and looked at them "I really love you guys" she said with an bright smile whose brightness could dwarf even the brightest of stars ben had seen. 'I really don't want to take it away from her'.
"Right me too" ben smiled at Brenna and Melissa.
"Same" Brenan looked at them with an small smile.
'What I am suppose to do' ben thought feeling a bit sad.
Melissa showed them the blueprints of the nanites which were in an square shape and there inner structure, which was Suprising to ben it's not bad ben had seen very high level of technology while he wasn't an genius like Kevin but after being surrounded by high level technology ben had enough experience that earth's technology was an kids work for him.
"We both will help you to make them" ben said 'if I can't stop her then i can just watch over her, make sure that nothing bad happens'.
Brenna nodded "we will".
Then she said "actually I was thinking of telling papa but I kind of knew that he will stop me telling me that he is sorry about all this" she looked at them "I don't know what made me decide to tell you guys but I don't regret it maybe its cause the two of you dint follow the norm with ben telling me that it doesn't matter if I have a quirk or not to Brenna telling me that I too am special with my intelligence that I don't have to think that they have something that I don't because I too have something that they don't have".
Then they liked at the nanites, they were like quicksand not floating like the dead nanites, they spent hours talking about it and when it was night they went to there homes.
Ben was laying in his bed thinking about what had happened today.
Brenna was feeling a bit complicated for an unknow reason but she too had decided to help her best friend.
Melissa was feeling relived ben and Brenna didn't treat her with pity like everyone did instead they treated her as there equals well ben didn't had an quirk and he was not as smart as her but he still treated her like an genuine friend.
'It was an good thing that I told them about nanites first, I know that papa wont treat it seriously and blame himself for me acting like that which would have made me give up, I love papa but I know that he wont believe he, ben and Brenna are different than the rest of the people I have met'.
They all went to sleep with different thoughts but same goal, what they didn't knew that that one decision will change all if there lives.
