Wayne Manor-Earth 52
Ben slowly opened his eyes, after Alfred guided him to his room, he fell asleep very quick because he was very tired after the all things happened. He was in a new universe and one of the members of League, has opened his home to him. Currently Ben was in a giant room, a queen size bed and a bathroom, that was pretty much it. Since it's a guest room, it doesn't have a lot things in but Ben doesn't complain. It's more than he can ask for. Until he can go home, if he can of course. He will hang out with Batman.
Ben yawned and stretched his arms. "Man, what a weird day yesterday was." He slowly got up and make his way to bathroom. According to Batman he will meet other members of Bat-Family. Before going to sleep, Ben made a little research and he was suprised to see this world has a lot of superheroes and villians. Not like home, he thought. Back at home he and his friends were kinda only superheroes and always they dealt with evil. It was not the case here. Since he doesn't have clothes or anything, Ben kept his clothing as same as yesterday. A black shirt with a green stripe in the middle 10 number. Brown pants and green and white sneakers. He also wore his white and green hoodie. Alfred told him to come to kitchen when he wakes up so he left the room and made his way to kitchen. Manor was big but Ben learned his way to kitchen when he arrived here. While on his way to kitchen his thoughts drifted to his family, friends and even his enemies. He wondered how are they doing. Gwen and Kevin or plumbers are capable enough to take care of average villians but likes of Vilgax, Eon, Aggregor. He wasn't sure.
When he entered the kitchen, Alfred was preparing breakfast and Bruce was sitting, drinking a morning coffee. He didn't even turn around.
"Morning Ben." He simply said and sipped his coffe. It was still weird to Ben, how he can know he's here without even knowing. But he was a member of Justice League, it was only fair. Ben made his way to table and sit down on a random chair.
"Morning guys. So what's up?" Ben asked. He wasn't sure what to say. He didn't know how things work around here. He'll learn though, hopefully. Ben hated learning.
"Your breakfast will be ready in a moment Master Tennyson." Alfred briefed him from the kitchen counter.
"You can just call me Ben. Master Tennyson is kinda sound like someone more important than me." Ben said. He wasn't used to being called like that. Everyone called Ben or Tennyson. Except when people angry of course, then everyone used his full name which Ben never understood why.
"Don't bother, he'll keep calling you that." Bruce said from his chair. He put down his mug and turned his gaze to Ben. "After the meeting the others, Alfred and you can go and shop. I'm pretty sure you don't wanna wear the same clothes every day."
Ben rubbed his neck. "Yeah. It would be good. Thanks." Alfred put his meal in front of him and get back to his work on the counter. "So what should I except from your team?" Ben asked. He was kinda excited. He will meet a new superheroes and probably work with them. None of them had superpowers and this kinda made Ben worry. Back in home, his team had superpowers and Rook was like super human because of him being an alien so he didn't worry about them that much but in here, his friends will be people without superpowers.
"Robin is little younger than you, Nightwing and Batgirl is same age with you. I'm sure you guys will get along but when it comes to their job, they are like me. Pretty serious." Bruce said. His face doesn't show any emotion.
Alfred chuckled. "I'm sure he will get along with them. Specially Batgirl." Ben kinda spat out his orange juice after the comment.
"Man, I've come here yesterday and people already playing matchmaker." Ben said as he wiped his mouth with napkin. Situation made even Bruce smile little. He decided to play along.
"As long as it won't get in way of their work." Bruce said with a little grin. Ben send a glare to his way. Not as intimidating as Batman's but it was still a solid glare.
"Not you too dude." Ben said. "My last girlfriend dumped me cause she thought I was yelling at her on the phone. I actually was yelling at the game. Then I kinda dated this alien lady Ester. It didn't work out too. Heck even once, a girl group fought over me. I was under the control of some lady, obsessed with cats. So when it comes to dating, Tennyson is not the best choice."
"Master Bruce said you started at age ten. You must had a quite childhood." Alfred said. He was amazed how young Ben was when he became a hero. That much responsibility on the should of a kid. Ben was indeed great hero.
"Tell me about it. My life would be TV show if I start explain everything I went through." Ben said and took a bite from his omelet and after few seconds thinking. "Actually TV show thing is not a bad idea. I'm pretty famous back in home so if I got back, I will think about it."
"You don't have a secret identity?" Alfred asked.
"I had but a fan of me leaked my identity and well I became famous. Actually nearly whole universe knows me. My fights are like legendary tales among the planets and galaxies." Ben explained.
Bruce slowly got up. "Well, I will be attending a meeting. Better be going and the kids will be here shortly so have fun." He said and left the kitchen.
"This is so good. After my grandpa and mom's cooking, this is like a medicine." Ben said as he keep assault the food.
Ben was watching TV and trying to find something interesting. He was crashed when he find out that this world doesn't have Sumo Slamers or Mr.Smooty, so he was pretty down now. Just scrolling through channels.
"There's nothing cool in this piece of hunk. Although after the stuff I've seen, nothing is cool to me." Ben complained. He wondered if he can go out tonight. Introduce himself to criminals. If he gonna work with Batman, he should know his surroundings or enemies. Alfred gave him a quick brief about Batman's foes but Ben wasn't impressed at all. He can take those guys out in his sleep. Gotham will be a lot of safe than usual. He also learned his teammates's experiences against these guys. Which he thought either they are holding back or these enemies are deadly. For a normal human at least. To Ben they were just couple of freaks. Ben was so lost in his thoughts, he didn't notice two individuals approaching him from behind. Ben had some serious training with Gwen, Kevin, Grandpa and Rook, so his human form wasn't park in the walk. He could've normally heard them coming but not this time.
"Hi." A young boy voice said. This made Ben came to real world and jumped in his place. He quickly get up and took a fighting stand. This made other two people laugh. When Ben saw his "attackers", he saw a kid and a teenager with black hairs.
"Who are you?" Ben asked, still in his fighting stance. He eyed the two carefully.
"You must be Ben. Bruce told us about you, I'm Dick and this is Tim." Soon as Dick introduced himself Ben lowered his guard. These must be the Nightwing and Robin.
"Oh, you guys are the bird team." Ben said with a smirk. They seemed pretty decent to Ben and hell they are working with Batman for a while now and who's Ben to say something.
Tim rised his eyebrow. "Bird team?" Dick had the same face expression.
"Alfred called you that and I'm sticking to it." Ben replied. He can already tell him and these guys will get along very well. Ben never had difficulty in making friends but his hero time always consumed his time and left no room for friendship and social activities. Since these guys are heroes too, it won't be a problem.
Dick chuckled and shook his head. "Of course he did. So you are the guy who can turn into aliens." He said. When he first heard Ben's story and abilities, he had the same reaction with rest of the family. Shocked and unbelievable. A guy who can turn into over a million different aliens and he added new three too. One of them being Kryptonian, which is a very strong form.
"The one and only." Ben said proudly. He always loved when he left people shocked because of his behavior or abilities.
"Turn into one now." Tim said with a excited tone. He immediately wanted to meet his new teammate and possible friend. He never heard this cool superhero before.
Ben frowned. He probably should not turn into alien in the house cause he can cause a damage without knowing, He can turn into small alien but he wanted the impress his new teammates. "Let's left that for field. House is not the best place for it." Ben said.
Tim's face fell. "Oh man, now I have to wait until mind night to see an alien." Dick sighed and shook his head slowly.
"You saw aliens before dude. My girlfriend is an alien and you saw her this morning." He stated. The statement earned a snicker from a Ben.
"You dating an alien? Cool." Ben said. He saw some attractive alien ladies in his time. Even dated one.
"Yeah. It is." Dick replied with a smirk. He already liked Ben and he was sure a certain redhead will like him too. Meanwhile Tim looked around. "Where's Barbara though? She was eager to meet you." He said.
"I'm here." A new voice said. The trio immediately turned their heads to door. While Tim and Dick has a friendly smile, Ben's jaws was wide opened. A redhead with blue eyes and little shorter than Ben was standing there, leaning against the door. Barbara left her spot and walked towards them. She reached for Ben's hand. "Hi you must be Ben. I'm Barbara." Ben slowly rised his hand and shooked.
"Hi Ben, I'm Barbara... it's wrong." He said and mentally slapped himself. His idiotic behavior made Tim and Dick laugh hard. Meanwhile Barbara laughed a little. Ben was internally cursing himself for what he did.
"This is the first time someone is nervous to meet me. At least this nervous." Barbara said with a grin. She'd admit, Ben was quite handsome and attractive. Especially his eyes. As if green is his main color. Which probably is.
Ben quickly gathered himself. "I was sleeping on the couch before you guys came in, so I'm not fully awake." He made up and excuse very quickly but unfortunately for Ben, Tim decided to cut in.
"You were sure awake when we came in." He said with a grin. This made Dick laugh even more but when Ben send a glare to his way, he quickly escaped Ben's gaze. Which was pretty scary.
"They are bunch of kids. Don't worry, I don't bite." Barbara said. She sensed, hanging out with him will be quite adventurous. Fortunately Bruce teamed him up with her tonight's patrol. "Bruce said me and Ben will be a team and cover the east while you two will be anothet team and cover the west. Bats will take north and south Gotham."
Ben's face enlightened. "Cool. Finally some action, I was bored as hell here." You can call him crazy because he wants to fight but he was a hero, fighting in his nature at this point.
Tim's face fell again. "Not fair. Barbara will get to see his aliens and I will stuck with a normal dude." This earned him an elbow to stomach from Dick. "What's wrong with me? I'm cool too." Dick said.
"Yeah but not as cool as me." Ben said with a prod smirk and his arms over his chest.
Barbara sighed and shook her head. "Here we go."
Another chapter is done. Thanks for the all names recommendations and keep them coming since I won't use the new forms just yet. Eventually I'll chose. Ben will transform next chapter and we will get action too.
I DON'T OWN BEN 10 OR JUSTICE LEAGUE.
