(Earth, Bellwood, current day)

"I cannot believe you told them." Gwen stated to Mason who chuckled with amusement.

"You tried to mess with me." Mason said as they pulled into the driveway. "This is payback. You're get me back in a week or so." Mason put in which made Gwen sigh.

Mason knew for a fact that Gwen was scary whenever she was mad. It was a very big reason nobody dared to anger the Tennyson girl.

"Uncle Ben!" Jen and Danny shouted at the top of their lungs. Mason and Gwen watched their children rush out of the car.

"Should I worry about them loving Ben so much?" Gwen questioned which made Mason turn to her.

"Not really." Mason said and climbed out of the car. "They love you to bits. It's just Ben acts like that fun uncle that doesn't play by the rules." Mason added, pretending to make a pair of finger guns.

Gwen rolled her eyes at this. Mason crossed his arms with a sigh.

"You haven't changed much since you were a kid, Mase." Gwen said which made Mason chuckle.

"To be fair?" Mason said with a slight smirk. "I was a shy kid back then. Remember how angry you were fighting off Animo?" Mason questioned Gwen who hummed.

(30 Years ago.)

"ANIMO!" Gwen bellowed as Roseate. The Florauna swung into the destroyed dock. Animo was forced to take cover from a barrage of explosive seed pods.

"Hello Gwendolyn." Animo said, his smile showing nothing but sharp, knife like teeth.

His blackish green Tank Top and stained tan cargo pants exposed scars. His animal control device rested neatly on his head as he chuckled.

"Where are they?" Roseate asked, ripping off another group of pods off her back. Animo pretended to tap on his chin with a claw like finger. "WHERE?" Roseate hissed and tossed the pods at Animo.

The explosion sent the man flying back through the gnarled wall. Gwen knew more then enough for that to win the fight. Animo might not have had more than advanced technology… But Gwen remembered her first battle with the mad scientist all too well.

"If I had known taking a few people for my experiment would hurt?" Animo questioned from somewhere within the swamp. "I suppose I would have gotten even more." Animo stated with an amused tone.

Roseate shot out her vine like arms. They wrapped around the railing and pulled herself up to the perch. Animo sat upon one of his alligator like creatures.

"I really should thank you. You've helped so much for letting me sample some DNA." Animo stated as the alligator like creature retreated into the swamp. Roseate looked around before shooting out a hand towards the branches.

This wasn't over yet; Gwen knew that by a long shot.

(Present Day)

"Yes, and you kept talking about how cold it was." Gwen stated with a smirk which caused Mason to hum.

"You try being permanently made part ice moth." Mason said and tapped his fingers together playfully.

The door opened to reveal the only person Gwen swore her kids loved more then Lucy…. Ben.

The man wore a green jacket with a giant 'B' on it. He also wore blackish neon green cargo pants. Gwen almost wondered if Ben had a crush on the color green. Then again? Mason had a habit of telling her blue was something she wore all the time.

Ben brushed his unruly auburn hair down and smiled before patting Jen and Danny on the head.

"Sup, Gwen?" Ben asked as Gwen smirked.

"Just taking the kids to see their favorite 'Uncle'." Gwen said and dusted off her hands. "We would have called. But Mason told the kids we were coming early." Gwen said, turning to Mason who hummed. He awkwardly scratched his head.

"Thanks for putting me on the spot." Mason muttered to Gwen who simply smiled at her husband. Gwen playfully ruffled his hair which made Mason roll his eyes at her. "Gwen should also tell you the kids are getting pizza later." Mason said which made Gwen glare at him.

Ben chuckled as Gwen sighed. Ben had always known Mason and Gwen to playfully ruffle each other's feathers. It was part of why they loved each other so much.

"So, I guess they don't want to eat anything here?" Ben asked as Jen and Danny rushed inside.

"Sometimes I think those kids have your appetite." Gwen said and watched Mason look at her.

"Do you two always have to mess with each other so much?" Ben questioned and got a shrug in response to his question. "Careful, dweeb. Your husband is probably the closest thing you have to a therapist." Ben teased before Gwen smirked.

"Very funny, doofus." Gwen responded, throwing Ben's old nickname at Ben who laughed.

Ben moved to the side and allowed Gwen and Mason inside.
