Merger Chapter 03

Gwen had made contact with whom she had thought was Ben, however it was someone else with some sort of Ultimatrix Modle. The person who was using it went by the name Jessie and had mentioned Lightning Lad, which Ben had told her was a member of a group of future heroes called the Legion of Superheroes. After contacting the base Jessie was told to bring Gwen back with them so that they could figure out what to do, maybe she'd be able to help with what was going on if they were lucky.

"So what are we doing at this building exactly?" Questioned Gwen watching everything going around them as they had started to go into a legionaire base to go figure out what exactly was going on.

"My fellow Legionaires and current leader of the Legion have asked me to bring you with me." Explained Jessie about why they'd taken her with them to the base. "Brainy or Garth should be able to better explain."

"Okay?" She then spoke as they continued down a hall and into some sort of office room location where there were two individual waiting for them.

One of the guys seemed to be a cybernetic lifeform as their green skin was metallic in nature, though they had blond hair that was cut short, and their costume was purple with green highlights. The second guy seemed to be human, or humanoid at least, with red hair and a gold and black costume, his hair was longer than the other guy and he had a soul patch on his chin, though he seemed to be the one in charge. They'd gestured for Gwen to come inside and sit down in a chair that was in the office.

After sitting down the redhead that seemed to be in charge then spoke. "Greeting, I'm Lightning Lad and this is Brainiac Five."

"We do know the reason that you are here, as we have been expecting you any day now." The blond guy now known as Brainiac 5 spoke adding to what the redheaded leader guy called Lightning Lad was saying.

"Paradox said we should be keeping an eye out for you, The one you're looking for is here." Spoke Lightning Lad about the situation telling Gwen they had the person that she was trying to find.

"He was near death when we found him outside our HQ so we put him into a healing pod. Recently he was fully healed physically, though he still has yet to respond to anything." Spoke the biomechanical boy about what was going on with the situation.

"Wait, he's here?" Questioned our Redhead hearing that they had her cousin there surprised that he'd been there in the future. "For how long?"

"About two years now." Answered the leader of the Legion of Superheroes about how long Ben had been there. "We didn't want to let anyone know he was recovering so as to allow him to do so without any attacks."

"It was the man called Paradox that suggested keeping it all secret." Explained the head of tech department about why they didn't tell anyone.

"Of course he did." Stated Gwen with an annoyed sigh before looking up at the two that were in front of her. "Take me to see Ben now."

With a nod the two then stood up to take Gwen off to where Ben was placed in a recovery room. There were many unfamiliar faces and species to Gwen, it was clear the future really was a vastly different place for certain. They continued to walk on down the varying hallways until reaching the area for patients that were recovering from battles or other such various things. Eventually they came to a more secure recovery room than the others that was hidden down a crooked hallway and went on inside where Ben was hooked up to monitors and was resting still in his unconscious state.

"Please Let me see him alone." Gwen spoke asking them to leave her alone with Ben seeing him like that.

"Alright, there is a comm button there if you need anything, just press it and I will come to help." Spoke Brainiac 5 allowing them to go in alone as he and Lightning Lad then began to leave the area so that the redhead could be alone with her cousin.

Gwen walked over to Ben with the door shutting behind her as she sat in the chair beside his bed and looked at him before sighing and making her fist glow with energy before then hitting him in the head. "WAKE UP!" She then demanded yelling at her cousin causing him to shoot up holding atop his head where she hit him.

"Eit ti ti ti. OOOOOWWWW!" Ben spoke with an angry / annoyed tone yelling about being hurt by his cousin hitting him in the head.

"Serves you right for making a girl worry." Spoke the Redhead also in an annoyed / angry tone as she turned her nose up at her cousin.

"GweeeEEeeEEEeenn, why did you hit me?" Our newly awakened hero spoke in a whiny tone questioning why exactly she hit him checking his hand to see if he was bleeding or not, looks like not thankfully.

"WHY? Because I have been worried sick. You have been gone for two years Benjamine Kirby Tennyson, I have been searching nonstop to find you to the point of exahustion, and YOU have just been sleeping here in the future the whole time, THAT'S WHY!" She then yelled at him annoyed about what had been going on while he was unconscious.

"Wait, two years?" Questioned our alien watch wieldig hero sounding surprised by what she'd just told him about how long he had been laying there unconscious. "Ugh, I need a shower."

"Ya, you do, there's a bathroom there that I noticed when I walked in, it has a shower." Agreed the redhead with a nod stating that he did need one and the shower was right there. "I'll yell at you more once you're clean. You smell worse than Stinkfly's pits."

With a Nod Ben stood up, though a bit shakily, he was managing thanks to the Ultimatrix M.U.'s built in systems keeping him from needing physical therapy and went to go and shower as Gwen waited for him in her chair. The shower didn't really take long as he'd found the shower supplies under the sink. After taking a much needed long shower getting himself clean he then activated the Ultimatrix M.U.'s wardrobe function and used it to get dressed in his normal outfit minus the jacket and walked out seeing Gwen there waiting and took note of what she had been wearing.

"Is that my jacket?" Questioned Ben quirking an eyebrow at his cousin curious if she was wearing his jacket.

"You were gone for two years Ben. I had to help co-ordinate all those heroes you've come across after the merger event." Gwen then spoke reminding him about how long he had been gone. "Is that a problem?"

"I don't mind you wearing it, I was just aski..wait, Merger Event?" Responded our shape changing hero before processing what his cousin had told them and questioned what merger event she was talking about.

"Apparently, from what I was told by some other heroes you failed to stop some strange device Eon had made and it caused a bunch of different universes to all combine together at once." Explained his green eyed cousin about what happened for the merger event that had taken place while he was out.

"Then we're gonna have to work fast to undo everything, where's Paradox?" Spoke our alien watch wielding hero about the situation stating that they'd have to go and undo everything before asking out Paradox.

Sighing Gwen then shrugged her shoulders to let him know that she had absolutely no idea, but then began to explain everything that had happened bringing her cousin up to speed about the merger, the governments working together and so on. She'd also told him about what was going on with the villains seeming to organize some major thing that was going to happen, but wasn't really sure about what it was, but knowing that the villains were involved they were fairly certain that it wasn't going to be good for anyone if it were to take place.
