A/N- So I changed it a little bit, because I really wanted to have these characters in the story but doing so this way made more sense(also Lex is so fun to write :)). I'm keeping the title, at least for now, because I think it still applies, but that might change as I get farther along with the story. Anyway, I hope you enjoy, and please review!

"Hey, Banana!" I say cheerfully, "guess where we're going today?"

She blinks groggily, but offers no response.

"Watcher World!" I exclaim enthusiastically, after a brief pause. Hannah's eyes widen, all traces of sleep disappearing from them, and she makes a beeline for the ratty couch, where she perches, bolt upright and trembling horribly. My expression slips.

"Banana?" I ask tentatively, sitting down next to my sister and putting an arm around her. "What's wrong?"

"I can't go to Watcher World."

"Why not?"

Before she can answer, Ethan bursts through the front door.

"GUESS WHO'S GOING TO WATCHER WORLD!" he proclaims loudly, holding our tickets triumphantly above his head. I shoot him a look as if to say "not now" and his expression immediately shifts to one of concern as he notices Hannah, still trembling on the old couch.

"Hey, Banana Split," he says, using the soft, caring tone he reserves solely for her. "What's up?"

She sniffles, but otherwise remains silent.

"She doesn't want to go," I supply. Ethan arches a perfect brow, kneeling down to meet her lowered gaze.

"Why not, Banana?"

She shakes her head, "I can't." I watch Ethan's face as a second eyebrow shoots up to join the first. After a brief moment, Hannah elaborates. "Webby said it's not safe there."

"Right," Ethan says, "the imaginary spider - from outer space - says that we can't go to Watcher World. Well, by all means, let's listen to him."

"Her," Hannah whispers softly, a tear rolling down her cheek.

"Why does Webby say that?" I cut in, glaring at Ethan.

Hannah doesn't respond. My gaze softens as Ethan and I share a concerned glance. After a moment of tense silence, Ethan speaks up.

"Tell you what, Banana Split," he pauses, producing a Hatchetfield Nighthawks cap. "You see this hat?" Hannah nods slowly. "It was gifted to me by a great warrior-" I start to snicker, and he turns to me. "Don't you fucking laugh." I put my hands up and attempt to stifle my laughter. He turns back to Hannah, "it's imbued with the powers of Grayskull to ward off dark magic, spiders, shitty theme parks, any fuckin' thing. Now, I can lend you this hat - just for today - and while it's on your head, well, nothing can harm you."

"Honest?" Hannah asks, eyes wide with intrigue.

"Cross my heart," Ethan replies genuinely, a sweet smile spreading across his face, "hope to die.

Hannah takes the hat and perches it, backwards, on her head, smiling serenely. "Okay. I guess I'll go."

Ethan beams, shooting me a coy wink. I roll my eyes, but grin back.

"Great, Banana," I say. "Let's get you some breakfast.

She nods and follows me into the kitchen, Ethan hot on her heels. "What're we having?"

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

A/N- I know Ethan was a little out of character, and I'm sorry- he's really hard to write! Lex is a lot of fun though, so I'm excited to continue with this storyline. I haven't decided yet if the characters are going to run into each other at Watcherworld or if I'm just going to write multiple separate storylines(the exact number of which has yet to be determined). Anyway, I hope you enjoyed, and please review!
