(Earth, Bellwood, currently)

"And in earlier news, Gwen Tennyson… Also known as 'Gwen Ten' by her fans." Gwen and Mason heard from the tv report. Mason shook his head and rolled his eyes.

"Should I point out that your constantly on the news?" Mason stated to his wife as Jen and Danny laughed from their chair.

"Kids, it's almost time for bed." Gwen put in before Jen and Danny let out a sigh.

"Danny, Jen?" Mason asked the duo while letting out a playful sigh. "You should thank your mother for allowing you to go to the pool." Mason put in before Jen and Danny nodded.

"Thank you, mom." Jen and Danny stated in unison before both got up. They ran over to give their mother and father a hug and kiss.

Mason and Gwen watched their children vanish upstairs. Mason was glad the kids knew at least to go to bed when asked.

"You know sooner or later that they're going to want to stay up." Mason said to Gwen as she kicked up her feet on the chair in front of her. "They do take after me a bit… Plus, they are kids." Mason added to which Gwen could only let out a sigh.

Gwen knew Jen and Danny would continue to push what they were allowed to do. They liked being kids and it wasn't like all people loved school.

"Yeah, but I liked homework at least." Gwen stated which caused Mason to roll his eyes.

"You're like the only person I know that LIKES to do homework." Mason joked and cracked his fingers. "Most kids I knew when I was that age? They played video games, they played pranks, played sports…" Mason stated while Gwen rolled her eyes and turned to the side.

She stretched her legs to the side. Gwen then let out a yawn and snuggled into Mason's side.

"You're talking to a black belt, basketball, and soccer expert who also managed to ace science, Mace." Gwen put in as Mason sighed and blinked before digging through the popcorn dish.

"Yeah, well..." Mason started to say before trying to think of something else. Gwen was always pushing buttons which made it hard to really say much. "Do you always have to try and have the fancy last word?" Mason asked Gwen who stuck her tongue out at her husband.

Mason chuckled and leaned his head against Gwen's as the couple enjoyed their time together.

"I can't believe I started falling in love with you after Animo hooked me up to all those machines." Mason stated while cracking his neck. "Seriously, I cannot believe I get to spend time with someone like you." Mason said while he leaned backwards on the couch.

"To be fair?" Gwen questioned while Mason looked around and blinked. "If it wasn't for you? Animo would end up killing us." Gwen added as Mason shook his head and looked around.

"I didn't have control over my powers." Mason said before rubbing at his chin. "I could have killed you." Mason said while letting out a sigh.

"You shot some ice at me." Gwen stated before getting up and cracking her back. She went to go and chance her clothes to pajamas. "I've had worse dealt with. You know that." Gwen added to which Mason sighed and sat up as well.

"Yeah, but that doesn't exactly mean it doesn't weigh on my consciousness." Mason said before cracking his back as well.

The couple had very… Unique history, but Mason loved Gwen far more then he loved any girl. Gwen cared about him and accepted his… New form, when he became like this and found out it was irreversible.

Mason watched as Gwen climbed up the stairs. He smiled and waited to go and get some sleep.

This family that the duo raised? Mason couldn't ask for a happier part of his life. He loved his family and would do anything for them if he had to.

Still? Gwen and him struggled at times. They were heroes, being parents and husband and wife second.

Things weren't easy for them… But it made the triumphs all the sweeter.

Mason waited a minute, then 2… Then he finally decided to unfurl his wings and fly up.

He turned intangible and ended up in his and Gwen's room.

"Do you always have to do that?" Gwen asked as Mason finally turned tangible.

"Beats taking the stairs." Mason joked before letting out a yawn as the air cooled in front of him.

Gwen was glad the Omnitrix kept the ice from seriously harming her… Though she was usually just used to the cold at the time.

Mason let out another yawn as the couple decided to retire for the night. Mason and Gwen started to climb into bed when they heard a noise.

"DO YOU BOTH HAVE VIDEO GAMES ON?!" Gwen yelled before marching out of the room.
