Zanotronxl: No the future ending scenes are NOT some prediction room
Season 3. And that's a bad name
And no. Huntress is from Earth 2, where she is Batman and Catwoman's daughter. Which that episode was inspired by.
6139: Yes, it's a underused pairing... part of the reason why we did it
Ghost and I are very much for WonderBat, but we have Batman with Harley Quinn in this story already
We also hate Superman/WonderWoman because... they are not good together. At all.
Also... The Flash is badass and Wally West, this Flash, is THE best Flash. Plus Wonder Woman deserves the ultimate human vibrator who can fuck at the speed of light, giving her fifteen orgasms at once
darkboy18: Okay first up that first sentence was word salad
Second, Superman and Wonder Woman is a terrible couple
Third, Bit of everything. Like everyone else. We also brought in Hawk and Dove, and Huntress.
Not really
Maybe
Ben
LUCARIO HMV ADVANCED: We try.
Mr. unknow: Not really. Her powers come from her soul. In most cases the gem is just decoration.
Here are a few reviews answered by Ghost:
Shooting Star Dragon 3000: Well, you don't have to wait long. It's going to be something good.
Marka Ragnos629: Even in the DC universe, Thanos will find an Infinity Stone.
Mr. unknow: It's a joke we do, it's like saying 'Person X looked at our stuff'. Don't worry about it.
jasongd: Yep, the future is f***ed. It's always f***ed
LUCARIO HMV ADVANCED: Just wait till later. Hey, we try and make new pairings. It's something we try and do.
darkboy18:
1: Flash doesn't get enough credit, the Speed Force for sex is like an unlimited vibrator.
2: Yeah, Megan's a good girl. As for Firestorm...50/50, maybe 60/40.
3: It was a reference we had to do. Grey did that one.
4: It's possible.
5: *points to Ben*
6: Thanks very much
61394: It might pop up again.

Edit: Fixed a few errors
GHOSTKAISER23's AUTHORS NOTE
Hello everyone! Welcome to the 200th chapter of the TENNYSON ARC! I can't believe that this series has now reached a highly coveted mark, it just seems so long that I came onto this project when Grey asked me to help write with him. A lot's happened in 200 chapters; James and Krystal getting their own Matrixes, James going to the DCU, Krystal getting engaged, offing bad-guys and making the universe a safer place, but the biggest one I enjoy the most: Grey and I became friends through this series. It honestly has been a rollercoaster of a writing ride, so many chapters have come and gone; 200, in fact *chuckle*. All I can say is this: thank you, our audience, for sticking with this story for 200 chapters and Grey, thank YOU for adopting and continuing a story that would've been left in the annals of time. And as Ben always says 'It's Hero Time!'!
YUGIOHFAN163 AUTHORS NOTE
HEYO what's up folks? Bet you didn't expect me here huh? Well considering I know the guys, guess you could say I got pretty high connections. You would not believe whose balls I had to grab to get this part. But I'll get right to the topic. It warms my heart to see this saga reach 200 chapters. Reminds me of when Grey and Ghost reached the finale of Ben's Harem. I may have helped give a spark, but these two brought the bonfire and kept it going. So like, follow, favorite, and other stuff for these two. And to anyone who flames it for no reason, THEN TOO BAD! CASS AIN'T YOUR WAIFU ANYMORE! Back to you Grey!
James' Harem 2
Chapter 23:
TENNYSON HAREM SAGA'S TWO HUNDREDTH CHAPTER!
Outside of Jump City a glowing green portal opened, shinning and twirling... And a figure raced out of it, a blur of blue and black
Back at Titans Tower it was a normal day "Hey, who wants pancakes?" James asked as he was cooking
Kori and Kom where fussing over Rachel, trying to plan the wedding
Cyberian and Garfield where having their normal morning squabbles
Terra, Jinx and Karen where out, having trained the Teen Titans yesteday
Dick and Duela where relaxing, watching as Cassandra was learning her ballet
Suddenly the towers alarms went off, blaring
"Whash hat? Whash happenin'?" Garfield called out as he had to get his tooth fixed, still feeling the effects of the anesthetic.
"Don't know. Titans, get ready." Dick ordered
"How fast is this thing going?" Cyberian asked.
"Well, it's not Kid Flash." Kom answered
ZOOM!
"Hey." The figure entered the tower as it tackled James and hugged him around the stomach "I missed you bro!"
"ML-E? You're here?" James asked in shock. "HOW?"
Hugging James's waist was a blue skinned girl. The young girl looked to be about nine to ten years old, black hair, green eyes wearing a black and green shirt with a blue jean jacket with a logo on the back with the stylised letters 'QM'. She also had a pair of blue loose trousers. And on her chest was a logo that had James' Matrix... Only green
"We came to visit and used the Multiverse portal, like you do!" the now named ML-E Tennyson grinned
"Er... Who's this?" Duela asked
"Um, everyone. This is my little sister, ML-E Tennyson." James introduced her, excited and a little shocked to see her.
"Hey!" she smiled before she was a streak around the room "Wow! Youarehalfrobot! Cool! OoohyouregreenlikeScout! HimsKoriandKom. YoureRachel? IthoughyoudbemoregothywithanamelikeRaven. Youlooklikeaclown. Areyoudoingballet? IthinkAuntTwoTwowouldlikeyou."
"ML-E! Slow down!" James called before a second blue blur entered the tower and caught ML-E
"ML-E Sandra Tennyson, why does the phrase 'slow down' not register in your brain Young lady?" a new woman in her late 30's frowned
"S-Sorry, mum." ML-E apologised as she stopped and saw the woman. Her mother.
ML-E's mother was a mature woman, black hair, white eyes, wearing a black shirt and blue jeans, her feet didn't have shoes but clawed feet with black balls under them. Her hands were slightly clawed but not ugly.
"Mama Helen?" James shook his head in shock. "You too? Who else?"
"Everyone." she smiled before she looked around "Oh? Are these the Titans? It is nice to meet you. I am Helen Tennyson, one of James' mother." the blue skinned woman smiled. Her black lips turned up in a smile, the MILF having a stacked body that would make most men lustful
"Ahem. N-Nice to meet you ma'am." Duela spoke respectfully as she looked at Helen.
"Nice to meet you too." Helen answered
"...Wait, EVERYONE?" James asked in shock. 'MY ROOM!' He panicked. In a flash he had reverted to his Nechrofriggeon for and phased through the walls, flying off
Helen and ML-E blinked, confused "What's with him?" ML-E asked
"Not sure. Kori, Kom, is there something wrong with James?" Helen asked
"No, he was alright and was about to make pancakes." Kori explained.
"Pancakes?" ML-E licked her lips.
"None for you, young lady." Helen answered.
"Um, Hi Mrsh Tennyshon. Garfield Logan. Shangelingh. Shorry for my voice, just been to the dentisht." Garfield introduced himself.
ML-E blinked and broke into laughter "HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"I'm sorry about her, it's nice to meet you too, Garfield. James has told us quite a bit about you all." Helen answered
"So, do none of the others have super speed?" Dick asked
"No. Well. My husband does. But only when he transforms." Helen explained
"The Ultimatrix? Correct?" Rachel asked
"He actually has the 'Biomnitrix', but you were close." Helen nodded. "They should be here soon."
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"WHAT'S THAT?!" Dick yelled
"Oh, Fifi must have taken her size compressor off so they can get here faster." Helen blinked as they looked out the window
"Um, question. Is 'Fifi' a giant goth-looking maid alien with big red eyes and teeth so sharp they look like giant plate-shards?" Duela asked
"She's a little sensitive about that, but yes." Helen responded as they saw a happy waving giant alien woman outside their living room window.
"Wow!" Cass gasped as she looked at the giant woman
"HEY~!" A white-haired woman waved, she was wearing a purple and black dress with purple eyes. She was standing next to a large group of women and children. And it looked pretty obvious whose child and mother were whose. "Let us in!"
"Um, okay." Dick answered, as Raven opened a portal through the glass
The silver haired woman as well as another woman's eyes glowed and most of the group flew in, although some jumped in without much effort and others swung in
"Sorry for the inconvenience." A woman, who looked like a mummy, apologised. She was tall and thin, made out of soft looking bandages with a soft pink glow between spots. She had back arm guards around her wrists, purple silk cloth around her waist and ankles with a classic Egyptian style head dress making up her face
"Wow, she's good with magic like you and Hope, Gwen." A wolf-like woman smiled, turning to the silver-haired woman and a red haired woman. She was tall with inverted knees, her fur a pale bluish. She wore what looked like a mix of normal clothing and tribal attire, a mix of browns and greens that reminded you of the forest.
"I know, I think James hasn't told us EVERYTHING, Selene." The red-haired woman smirked as she steeped down. She had tied back red hair in a ponytail, wearing a blue and black shirt and trousers, wearing a belt with mystical runes.
"Mrs Selene, Mrs Gwen, Mrs Charmcaster." Kori greeted with a smile
"Oh, hello, Kori. Good to see you again." Gwen responded.
"What am I? A sarcophagus?" The bandaged woman joked.
"It's great to see you too, Mrs Isis." Kom followed up.
"Whoa! Look at this place!" A young green skinned lad, wearing goggles, a black shirt and red jacket with black shorts spoke "It's so retro and old!"
"Hey!" Duela frowned, feeling a little insulted.
"Scout, you are being rude." a green skinned woman frowned
"Sorry, mum. I meant it in the best way though." Scout apologised. The green skinned woman was dressed in a cross between a military style and casual wear, looking stunning
"Mama?" A young red-skinned girl wearing a tanned gladiator-styled skirt, a redshirt, silver bracers and had short black hair and green eyes. She looked to be about three maybe four years old.
"It's alright, Skarlet. They're your big brother's friends." A taller and older looking woman, wearing a gladiator outfit, for a proud warrior woman. The woman was seven foot tall with H cup breast, four arms and yellow eyes... And enough muscles to easily shatter brick. She wore a black leotard with golden armour on her shoulders, wrists, shins and so on alongside a gladiator looking helmet and a shoulder cape
'Holy crap, she's HUGE!' Garfield thought in shock.
"Um, how many people ARE here?" Duela asked
"The whole family." a smaller version of the wolf woman smiled
Cass looked down at the young wolf-girl and stared at her...Following a head-pat. The little wolf-girl smiled at Cass' gesture.
The girl had soft blue fur, green eyes, wearing a white shirt and blue hoodie, with black shorts which had a hole that allowed her tail to sway freely. There was a total of nine adult women, two women around James' age, ten kids and one adult male
"Hey everyone." The adult male smiled, he had brown hair, slightly greying at the sides, a small beard, green eyes, wearing a green jacket over a black shirt and dark green trousers with sneakers. He had two green gauntlets on his forearms and was highly muscular
"Hello, Mr Tennyson." Dick spoke as he saw him.
There was a slight aura of... Awe around this man. It was like seeing the entire League before them but in a single person.
"Ah, you must be 'Dick' nice to meet you." Ben smiled and extended his hand "I've heard you're the leader. Impressive."
"Well, I do my best." Dick answered humbly.
"You must be Duela. James has told us about your engagement to Dick." Gwen followed up, looking at the clown-girl.
"We are happy for you." a woman in deep purple armour
"Oh, um. Th-thanks." Duela answered, trying to remember WHICH family member this was. "Mrs...EightEight?"
The woman had a slim and athletic body, clearly a gymnast's build. She was clad in a skintight pink-ish purple armour that showed the woman's curves, black lines adding detail and hiding the thinner parts of the suits. She had several patches all over the armour. Her face was covered by a full head mask, a glowing pink X over her eyes that was clearly how she saw out of the suit "Yes. EightEight Tennyson, a pleasure to meet those I haven't yet."
'So. Many.' Cass thought in awe.
"Well. This one's a warrior." the muscular red woman commented
Cass looked up at the red woman in awe before pointing to herself.
"Yes, you." she nodded
Cass blushed and twisted her foot on the floor cutely.
"It is nice to meet you all." a young ten year old boy made of bandages nodded
"Oh~, Atem!" Kori smiled, hugging him. The young boy had brown hair, green eyes, wearing a light brown linen pair of shorts, sandals and a green shirt-tunic.
"I don't think we have met her." Kom commented, pointing at the blonde in front of them
"No. I don't think so." Kori agreed. They looked at her and tilted their heads
"Hello. I am James' older step sister." the girl greeted
"Oh, nice to meet you." Kori answered.
"What's your name?" Rachel asked as the kids who introduced themselves left for the living room.
"I'm Eunice." The girl responded. Eunice was a beautiful blonde haired girl with blue eyes, wearing a white and black dress that looked like a scientist's uniform with flat shoes and a necklace like James' matrix only the Matrix symbol was green
"Hey everyone." Krystal smiled
"Sister Krystal!" Kori responded, getting up and hugged her.
"Easy, Kori. I'm not a nun." Krystal laughed as she hugged the bustier girl
"And you WON'T be." Kom responded with a chuckle.
"Too right." Krystal nodded.
"Sho. Who're thesesh kidsh?" Garfield asked still nursing his numb mouth.
"This is my son, Alex." Charmcaster nodded
Alex was wearing a dark blue cloak, over a dark purple shirt and yellow boots with an oversized cone hat "Hi!" the little boy waved
"...He's adorable." Rachel whispered as she saw Alex, dressed as a little wizard.
"He's a little wizard in training." Charmcaster smiled "Just like Gwen's daughter, Kitty."
"Kitty?" Rachel asked as she looked at a little bit older, red-haired girl wearing a cat-logo blue shirt and blue trousers.
"Rachel!" she smiled and hugged her leg. Rachel blushed gently and smiled, awkwardly hugging her before full on hugging her.
"That's sweet." the large woman outside, Fifi, commented
BANG! BANG! BANG!
"Mama! Mama! See! See!" a young sounding voice said loudly as the tower shook and shook, like an earthquake
"What is going on?" Victor asked
"That's Betty. My daughter." Fifi answered
"Is that Betty?" James asked as he phased through the ceiling and returned the room
"Mummy's special little girl." Fifi smiled
"JAMES!" The kids cheered and tackle-hugged him
"GAH!" he screamed
CRASH!
James fell onto the floor, glomped by his little brothers and sisters "Why?!" he groaned in pain, seeing the blonde hair of his neice near his face "Oh, hi Sarah."
"Hey, James." Sarah smiled as she saw her uncle. Sarah had blonde hair, wearing a lab coat, she seemed to have blue cat-like ears and was quite thin. She also had a large bushy tail, almost like the tanooki of fiction. Oh, and she was five. Put all that together and you get a rather adorable child
"Still have your Bi'nthak?" James asked as he leaned up.
"Her what?" Duela asked, scratching her head.
"My tail." Sarah answered, swishing it gently.
"That's a weird word." Kori commented
"Well, my wife IS an alien. Her language IS a little tongue-twister-y." Eunice answered although she didn't see the irony of KORI being the one to say that
"I...Um. Pancakes?" James asked as he tried to get up.
"Yeah!" an armour clad five year old atop him smiled
"OOF! Ren. Chest crushed. Help!" James wheezed as he was getting flattened by his siblings.
"Okay guys, I think James can't get any flatter...You CAN turn into your Necrofriggian state, remember?" Krystal commented
"I know, but that's rude!" he laughed "Guys, please?"
"Okay." Each of the siblings got off of James. "Hey, Dad."
"Hi, son." Ben smiled, hugging his son. Ben Tennyson, a hero unlike any this world knows.
Ben 10,000
The Ultimate Hero
"I bet you've got a LOT to talk about." Ben smirked
"Ah-ha...You have NO idea." James chuckled awkwardly.
"Why did you disappear when we arrived?" Helen asked suspiciously
"I. Ha. My room." He admitted, trying to be as vague but indicating as possible. "It wasn't clean." he shrugged making the adults raise their eyebrows "...Tour?" He asked with an awkward grin and chuckle.
"Sure." Ben nodded
"May I ask why you are visiting?" Dick asked, changing the subject slightly
"Well, the kids wanted to see how their big brother was doing. And...We were too." Ben chuckled
"Plus I've set a date for my wedding and we need to give you the invites!" Krystal grinned
"AND it's your birthday." Gwen added
"You're getting married?" James asked
"It's your birthday?" The Titans asked in shock
"...Shoot, you're right." James realised. "I. Sorry."
"How did we ALL forget?!" Victor yelled
"Control Freak, HIVE, The League, saving the city." James listed off. "I'm not mad." The others nodded in agreement and sighed
"Let's celebrate!" Kitty cheered "Party! Party! Party!"
"Party! Party! Par-TY!" Skarlet cheered
"Okay, okay. Don't start a conga line in here." James groaned with a roll of his eyes. "I think I'll give that tour-"
"No, you won't." Kom interrupted. "YOU are going to spend time with your parents, WE'LL handle the tour."
"But I-"
"Hush. Go get changed. We'll handle it." Kom answered, putting her finger on his lips. "Okay?"
James nodded as he looked at her "You win."
"Good." She smirked and leaned into his ear, whispering something, which made him blush but his back was to his family, so his blush was hidden. "Now, which floor first?" She asked as James ran off
"Where do you train?" Skarlet asked
"I want to see if this place has any cool gadgets." Scout followed up.
"Pancakes!" Luna raised her paw and the assault of excited calls was constant
"Pancakes, it is." Victor answered
"Shweet." Garfield smiled and nodded "Ow."
"What happened to your teeth?" Gwen asked tenderly.
"Training accident." Garfield admitted. "I'll be okay in a few days."
"Oh." Euicne blinked
*time skip*
James had calmed down, leaning on his bedroom wall as he finished cleaning it. "Phew. All hidden." He commented, all clean and dressed as he met up with his family "Right. Hoo. Let's do this." He whispered to himself as he opened the door and walked to the living room. He saw his parents there, the kids obviously getting the tour. It was just...It felt like home in home. "Hey." he smiled, hugging his family
"It's good to see you, son." Isis smiled as she hugged him.
"It's been a while, young warrior. How have you been keeping?" Looma asked
"I've been great." he smiled
"AND you've gotten married." Hope inquired, poking him in the side. "Well, engadged again." Selene squealed happily and kissed his cheek.
"Mum..." He groaned from the kiss.
"Our baby boy is growing up." She smiled "Soon we will have grand babies!"
James' throat went dry at the sound of that, unsure if his mother was joking or not.
"Selene, that's not funny. He's mummified, look." Isis spoke
"Don't you mean petri-oh mummy puns!" Attea responded before realising what she was doing.
"Maybe." Isis gave a small wink and smiled
"I. Don't have kids yet." James admitted, coughing to get his voice back. "Might happen soon but I try and be careful."
"Don't pressure yourself. We can wait, James." Gwen reassured him
"Here." Ben smiled, holding out a small present
"What is it?" He asked as he took the gift and opened it. He saw it was a small black and yellow computer chip, no bigger than a quarter and as thin as a blade of grass "What is this?" He asked in confusion and shock.
"It's for your Matrix." Ben smiled
James looked at his dad and then at his Matrix. "Okay. How do I insert it? Last time I checked...Doesn't really open." He joked as he raised his hand.
"Pop the core open. It should react and open a compatible slot." Ben laughed
James blinked and did so, cautiously popping the core and showed a slot for the chip. Suddenly the faceplate of his Matrix glowed brightly, almost blindingly, as holograms of ALL of his aliens rapidly shifted through in a seemingly endless loop for several seconds. James covered his eyes as his holograms were blinding him. "Sorry." He apologised since he couldn't do much about it.
"No worries. Its supposed to do that." Ben smiled as the flashing stopped
James' Matrix began to speak. Shocking its owner
"Primis Connection established."
"'Primus connection'? Wait. D-Does that mean?" James asked in awe and shock.
"Yep. Connected to the home planet." His father nodded
"The chip means your Matrix is now using the multiverse portal as a relay point, allowing you access to the database again." Gwen explained
"And. And I won't turn into-?" James asked
"Nope. 100% safe." Ben responded before his Biomnitrix 'awoke' and several new holograms flashed over its core
"Oh. My god." James whispered in shock, realising what's just happened.
"What the-? More aliens? Have you been busy, son?" Ben joked as he cycled through he different aliens.
"...Phrasing. Phrasing!" James laughed at his dad. "But, yeah. I-I got some new aliens."
"Two of the same one?" Ben asked as he switched between two aliens.
"Yeah, two of the same species. White and Green Martians." James explained
"Hmm." Ben nodded "Kind of like Upchuck's race. I get it."
"That's the same thing?" James asked. "When did you-?"
"It was a whole ordeal back home. It doesn't matter." Attea answered
"Oh."
"So, why don't you tell us about your adventures? I'm SURE you've got a LOT to tell us." Hope asked
James mumbled a little, scratching the back of his head, still coming to terms about being connected to Primus and his old home. He didn't know WHERE to begin.
*With the Kids*
"This is where you train?" Scout asked as he pulled out a gun from... Somewhere
"Yeah, that's- WHAT?!" Garfield answered before seeing the gun come from hammer-space.
"No guns." Cassandra said, snatching it from him
"Sorry." Scout apologised, though he WAS miffed that his gun was taken from him.
"Seriously, where do you hide those?" Atem asked his brother with Scout shrugging in confusion as an answer to
"Can we train too?" Skarlet asked innocently
"Do we have a low enough setting?" Vic asked
"Hmm...No." Dick thought for a moment and looked at the settings, shaking his head. "Unless you consider 'Urban fight' easy."
"Darn." Gar hissed
"YAY! Easy mode!" Skarlet clapped excitedly.
"Huh?" Victor asked
"Skarlet is a NATURAL brawler." Luna answered
"She is a Tetrramand... She's really powerful." Krystal explained
The Titans looked at each other and then at Skarlet who was beaming innocently at them. "Alright. 'Urban Fight' it is. But we WILL be keeping an eye on you." Kom answered
"They will be fine." Krystal smiled
Skarlet walked through as the training area started up, with some hologram technology that James and Victor built together. The three year old's eyes sparkled in excitement, as if a game was about to begin' Appearing before Skarlet were a small group of solid light hologram generic looking thugs, each armed with a blunt weapon of some kind.
"Rea-?" Victor asked before Skarlet leapt in and tackle day the thugs
The Titans could only stare in silence at what was happening before them
CRASH!
BASH!
YA-HOO-HOO-HOOEY!
Skarlet laughed as she was beating up the holograms and even spun one over her head and threw him. It was like they were blow up toys
"Oh. Oh, those poor holograms." Garfield whispered in shock and worry as the simulation was turned off and Skarlet stood on their bodies in victory with a childish smile.
"Way to go." Krystal clapped
"Thank you." Skarlet smiled as she turned around.
"How strong ARE you guys?" Duela asked
"Well Tetramands, especially female ones are super strong." Euince nodded
"Is THAT why we don't see James use that form as often?" Duela asked
'Speak for yourselves.' Kori and Kom thought in unison with naughty grins
"Um. Who's next?" Victor asked
"MEMEME!" ML-E bounced up and down excitedly.
"Bart." Cassandra mumbled
FLASH!
"You say my name princess?" the speedster smiled as he was suddenly there
"Her." She pointed to ML-E.
"...Did I miss something?" Bart asked
"These are James' brothers and sisters and ML-E here wants to have a training partner." Dick answered.
"Careful, she's fast." Garfield added, speaking through his slightly slurred speech.
"...I'm not hitting a 10-year-old." Bart answered, looking at ML-E.
"Don't worry, I'm tougher than I look." ML-E smiled, stretching her legs.
"Yeah. And I'm faster." Bart shrugged, being faster than James' Blurr transformation... Or at least comparable
"Want to try?" ML-E asked as she bounced slightly, excited to try and fight someone almost as fast as her.
"Let's race." Bart sighed
"Okay!" ML-E nodded and zoomed to the hologram room with Bart following
"Okay, setting up a course. What do you two want?" Victor asked
"Medium." Bart asked
"OOH! Is that fast?" ML-E asked
"No. But you don't know the route." Bart replied "You'll have a few runs to get use to it."
"Oh. Do you have a map?" ML-E asked.
"Something like that." Bart answered as Victor passed a headset to ML-E. "This is a Speed-Map-generator, I used this before moving here."
ML-E nodded as she took it. As she put it on, it was turned off.
"Hang on, I got it." Bart spoke, pressing a button and booted it up. "There, how's that?"
"Like that weird old game console dad played when he was my age." ML-E nodded
Bart inhaled and sighed slowly. "Okay. Ready?" He asked her and Victor.
"Okay then." Bart responded. He stood back, waiting a second as she did ten practice laps
"How was that?" She asked with a smile.
"Okay." he shrugged "Vic, max level!" he ordered. Victor crossed his arms and glared with a 'senior' feel. "...Please." Bart asked, correcting himself. With a nod, Victor reluctantly set it to max level. Seeing that ML-E was THIS fast. "Ready?" he asked
"Uh huh!" ML-E nodded
BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BOOP!
ZOOM!
ML-E ran at her max speed, right after the sound of the race-car beeps.
She was running at near top speed, not wanting to humiliate her brothers friend and... Wait, how was he in front of her?!
"Hi." Bart smiled as he waved at her and then-
BOOM!
He was gone, speeding faster than even HER.
"So fast, Vic you keeping up with this?" Garfield asked
"Nope, totally a blur." He responded
"Good. Same."
The two then came to a stop, at the finishing line in front of them. ML-E was panting heavily, she had tried to keep up with Bart, be she couldn't. He was just too fast for her.
He extended his hand to her with a smile. "Nice run." ML-E nodded, clearly a bit annoyed
"How is he THAT fast?" Scout asked in shock as the siblings where shocked to realise ML-E had lost
"I can answer that." Bart began to explain
*with James*
"And that's how we defeated the Terror Titans." James explained. The Tennyson family had listened intently, hearing how their son and his friends went through such trials. Fifi was tearing up and hugged her step-son, sorry about the nightmares he's gone through "Mama Fifi..." he groaned lightly
"My baby boy." she cried softly
"I'm fine, I'm okay." He answered with a sweat drop
"You did great son." Ben praised
"Thanks dad." James answered
"Just ONE question." Eunice asked
"What is it?" James responded
"Did you ever find out WHY your Matrix proclaimed 'ARE YOU READY'?" Eunice questioned
James began to think and ponder. Honestly, he didn't know. He shrugged, smiling a bit "Just another secret of my Matrix." He said and saw his scientist step-sisters eyes light up at the challenge 'Oh god, what've I done?' He gulped in worry as she grabbed his arm
"Can I try and select it? To see if it will work?" She asked as she fiddled with his Matrix
"Hey, Hey! Careful!" He panicked as she landed on an alien. He laughed, pushing her back gently
"Nothing." She pouted as she got back up
Ben shook his head with a smile as several others arrived
"Hey James, we're back from-Who're these people?" Argent asked as she pointed to James' family
"More friends? Oh, hi Tara, Karen and Jinx." Selene smiled
"M-Mr and Mrs Tennyson!" The three panicked in response, seeing their boyfriend's parents here and not expecting the visit
"We heard the alarms." Jason explained
"That was my sister running towards me." James admitted. "She's a ball of energy."
"Oh." they blinked
"But, err. Let me introduce you to everyone." James continued
"This is Antonia Monetti, Rose Wilson, Jason Todd and Garth, also known as Argent, Ravaged, the second Robin and Aqualad."
"Nice to meet you all." Garth bowed respectfully to James' parents as he could see the royal pedigree in them
"You're James' parents?" Jason asked as he looked at them. "I can see where he gets his looks." He joked.
"Thanks." Ben said confidently
"D-does anyone want a drink?" Argent asked nervously, feeling a little pressured to be polite.
*with the kids*
"And this is where we sleep." Raven spoke as they had left the training hall. "Of course we go split it up a bit and spread out, give everyone some privacy."
"Can we look inside?" Luna asked with a cute swish of her tail.
"I guess?" Duela shrugged
The kids immediately wanted to cram into one of the Titan's bedrooms, being Starfire's and Blackfire's. They rushed in, seeing the large room of pinks and purples "Wow~. Pretty." The girls commented
"Kinda cool." Scout answered, though pink wasn't his favourite colour. Purple however WAS one of Atem's and Ren's favourites. So those two where really happy with this room
"This is your room?" Luna asked as she wagged her tail happily.
"Yeah, it is...though we don't use it often." Kom answered
"We are busy with protecting the city." Kori followed up.
"Or we sleep in our husbands room." Kom added casually
The kids laughed at that, but not in a malicious way, but in a 'happy giggling excited' way. Their brother was terrified of women, but now he's married and happy.
"What's with the giggling?" Jinx asked
"We're just happy for you and James." Scout answered. "Last we saw him, he was terrified of girls."
"You've met us before." Rachel answered
"Yeah, but. Didn't you say 'two years passed' so..." Scout responded before the kids where all a bit sad for a moment again
"Hey, why don't we go and play a video game?" Garfield suggested, having dealt with his own kids and knew they needed cheering up.
"Yeah!"
*time skip*
"Do you lot survive off pizza or something?" Selene asked, it now being dinner time
"Ah, no. Not JUST pizza." James answered, though he WAS hiding his worried face. "We do go out at times."
"And when was the last time you had an ACTUAL 'PROPER meal'." Fifi asked
...
'SHIT!' He flinched as he had forgotten when that did happen.
"James." his parents all said as one
"It's. Been a while." He flinched. "We've just been REALLY busy protecting the city, training and...just life."
Fifi frowned and stood up, rolling her sleeves up and stepped towards the kitchen. She was going to make a buffet dinner.
"Mama Fifi, you don-" James tried to say only to be met with her glare
"James. Your mother is scary." Terra mumbled
"She means it out of love." Hope answered
"Empty, empty, EMPTY?" Fifi opened the kitchen cupboards and frowned. "Helen."
"On it, Mrs Ramsey." Helen responded and sped off after a quick bow.
Fifi put on an apron and washed her hands.
"Mrs-?" Argent asked
"She researches a LOT of cooking shows and Gordon Ramsey's in her top three." James admitted and flinched.
"Nothing substantial. I'll have to do a vegetarian buffet." Fifi answered, pulling out the large vegetable trays to get things ready. "Put an apron on, young man." She shot a glance at her step-son.
"Wait, what?!" James and Victor yelled. The first for being asked to join, the later because of the words 'vegetarian buffet'
"There is no meat, I'm going to have to make do. Now start peeling these vegetables." Fifi answered seriously.
"Y-Yes Ma'am." He gulped.
"Um, what if there-." Victor began to ask before Ben's phone rang.
"Hey, Helen...Yeah, Fifi's cooking. Yes meat. ALL of it." Ben answered the phone. "I'll be right there."
"She needs a hand?" Gwen asked
"Yeah." Ben nodded and transformed into XLR8 and ran off.
"Is she normally like this?" Tara asked as she saw James peeling potatoes.
"Only if we're not eating well." Hope answered. "She's VERY protective."
"Hmm." the kids nodded with various expressions
"Do you want some help?" Scout asked
"That would be wonderful, Scout. Thank you." Fifi smiled at her step-son. "If you want to help out, you can help with the frozen foods."
"Okay." Scout nodded
'TOTAL opposite.' The Titans thought
ZOOM!
"Okay, we're back." Ben and Helen spoke, struggling with the large bags of food.
"Who here has a large appetite?" Fifi asked. Looma, Victor, Kori and Kom each raised their hands. "Okay, we will-." Fifi answered.
"Second and third trip. On it!" Ben answered and ran off.
"I need to lie down." Helen panted. "Lucky 'genetic perfection'."
Over with James he mouthed the word 'HELP!'.
Krystal just shook her head in fear. She knew NOT to get between her mama Fifi and the kitchen.
"How much IS she going to make?" Victor asked Looma
"If you want you can come help out, Victor." Fifi responded, overhearing him.
"I-but what?" Victor frowned and sighed, being caught between James' family.
"I think I need to take pointers." Duela grinned
"Same." Rose nodded
ZOOM!
"What did I miss?" Ben asked, carrying a lot more shopping.
"Fifi just got Victor to help out." Hope answered
"...poor man, I've been there." Ben nodded solemnly.
"My champion?" Fifi asked "Did you just offer to help? That is wonderful!"
"I no, wait-." Ben frowned.
Tick, tock, tick, tock.
Ben was now grumbling as he was pan frying some fish, much to the joy of Fifi. "Thank you, My Champion. You're doing much better than before." Fifi smiled.
'Poor, Dad.' James thought as he was peeling the vegetables. The kids where snickering at their families situation, food soon being placed on the table as everyone gathered 'My hands...' James thought as they were throbbing from a LARGE amount of cooking. Ben saw his son and nodded in sympathy, knowing what he was going through.
"Dinner's ready." Fifi called out, hoping everyone would be right there. Within seconds the kids sat down at the table, ready and waiting for their dinner. The Titans were second, after they soothed their hands after being drafted by Fifi to help with dinner. It had been insane and they where rather upset "I hope everyone has a big appetite." Fifi added as she placed serving spoons for all the meat and vegetables, which Garfield has a large separate serving for himself.
"This looks delicious." Gwen smiled
"You really SHOULD open that restaurant. We have enough money to handle it." Attea urged
"But then who would clean and maintain the house and clothes?" Fifi responded, to which her daughter raised her hand excitedly. making Fifi giggle "That's my girl." She patted her head.
'That DOES raise a good question.' James thought to himself. 'Mama Fifi WOULD be a great restaurant cook.' He did feel sorry for any of her employees who slacked off, however 'The PR department would be getting daily meetings.'
"HMM~! Thish ish sho good!" Rachel moaned at the taste of dinner, with her mouth partially full. Everyone was shocked to see the normally well mannered Raven being like that and laughed a bit
"Another satisfied daughter-in-law." Hope smirked, taking a bite of chicken.
'This is great! Cooked tofu, mashed potatoes, steamed veg, this is awesome!' Garfield thought as he plated his own food up.
"Can we have our reception at your restaurant?" Jinx asked
James immediately coughed at the sound of that, it was only a few days since he proposed to Rachel and the thought of another wedding so soon had lodged a food in his throat.
"Well, Of course. Though we'd have to build and finance it first." Fifi answered
"One phone call, one call and the place is built, Fifi. You know that." Attea answered while James' back was getting patted upon by Kori, knowing that was a bit too much for him.
"So... You're the biggest hero of your world?" Jason asked Ben Tennyson, clearly slightly doubtful
"Yep, that's right. Though I'm part of a large organization who helps the universe." Ben answered humbly. "I'm just the first line of defense."
"The first..." Krystal started
"... Last..." his wives quoted
"And best line of defence for every galaxy." James finished, the group having been quoting several important figures with that line
"...I guess I HAVE been riding that line for quite a while." Ben admitted with an embarrassed smile and a rub of the back of his head.
"Only for the past 10 years...dweeb." Gwen lovingly poked fun at him.
"Prove it." Jason said suddenly and it was like a needle dropped
'Ooh boy.' Both Krystal and James thought in a worried unison.
"Jason, come on. That's rude!" Duela snapped.
"I'm sorry about that, Mr Tennyson. I'm sure he-." Dick began to apologise
"Okay, I'll prove it." Ben answered simply "All of you, both the older group of Titans and the younger group, alongside Krysyal Vs me." he stated calmly
"A-are you sure, daddy?" Krystal asked nervously as Shen heard that.
'Oh crap.' James thought in absolute terror.
"You sure? No holding back or-?" Jinx asked
"Well, we don't want the city being destroyed, so I say holding back a little is fine." Ben answered. "I'm sorry, Fifi."
"It's fine. Children will be children, my champion." She nodded in understanding. He finished his meal and stood up, walking off with a confident stride the group had only seen in the Trinity the week before. Both siblings saw each other and KNEW what the other was thinking 'We're dead.'
The groups soon followed, only with James and Krystal bringing up the rear. The Titans were at the front, while Jason was getting a earful.
"Okay, be honest, Krystal. How strong has Dad gotten?" James whispered
"No-one's beaten him, not even in training at the Academy." Krystal admitted
GULP!
James' matrix hand was shaking lightly. Seeing his family here was great and all...but THIS? And with what Control Freak said to him before he went to prison...didn't help much. However something about it... Looking at his family, both biological and the one he had built for himself, the fear and concern morphed into something else.
It was courage and hope.
He knew the outcome before the match started but he felt... A clear heart
He would try his best
As they stepped outside, Ben took a few more steps forward. "Okay, get ready. I'll start off with something small." He spoke, selecting his alien. He reached down and pressed the black part of his right wrist band, a classic Matrix core appearing. He twisted it a few times before he grinned "It's Hero Time!" he called, an almost childish excitement in his voice for a moment, before he slammed his hand down onto the core.
His hand shifted and changed turning into rock, before lines of blazing magma shot through and broken it apart. The rock grew up his arm, covering his chest and spreading over his body. His shoulders 'exploded', small fires burning from his shoulders. His Matrix grew on his chest, shining a bit for a second. And finally his head was engulfed into flames, his head becoming a rock like skull surrounded like a blazing sun almost
"HEATBLAST!" he roared, flexing lightly
'...shoot, that's cool!' Jason thought as he heard that name.
"Going with the classics, Dad?" James asked as he and Krystal readied their Matrix's
"When it works, it works." Ben smirked
"Titans, formation Gamma Five." Dick called out.
"Which one's that?" Aqualad asked
"This one!" Cyberian called as he unleashed his sonic cannon. Changing had turned into a Cheetah and raced forward while Blackfire and Statfire took to the sky
James has transformed into Blurr races behind his father, going to hit him in the back. He charged forth, but his father was ready. Ben had unleashed a shockwave of heat, a barrier of blazing hot heat that held back Cyberian's blast... And James ran right into it "AH!" James yelled in pain, forcing himself away
"James!" Argent yelled in worry. When Cyberian stopped his attack she replied with creating her glowing silver constructs, in this case a giant hammer, and slamming it down at Ben. Changeling followed her example and turned into a rhino, racing at Ben
Ben smirked, changing forms with his arms on his hips. Suddenly two red arms emerged from the light.
One grabbed Changeling's horn while the other caught the hammer with a casual raised arm. The light faded revealing Fourarms, clad in a tight green sleeveless shirt and black pants with some distinct fangs. He was only using two arms, the other two resting on his hips
Over by Looma, she was biting her lower lip, seeing her husband in this form.
"You okay?" Krystal asked, helping him up.
"Little sun burn." He answered
Kori and Kom shot out a pair of Star-bolts at Ben, seeing he was a physical and not elemental alien. Changeling shifted into a smaller animal to slip out of his grip. Ben pushed Argent's construct away, letting the mouse Changing rush off, before he was engulfed in green light. A being made of purple stone stood there, slim with glowing pink gems protruding from its back and its hands being entirely made of the material. Its single green eye glowing
Chromastone stood there, absorbing the Starbolts before he launched a rainbow light at the charging AquaLad.
Another flash of light and Ben was.. Gone
Suddenly Karen regrew and cashed to the floor, Nanomech glowing as he changed into another form. XLR8 stood calmly, his black and white body clear as day with green bands around his arms and thighs. The balls his feet held where also green, his famous mask covering his face, and he took off after Bart
Bart was kind of cocky but also terrified at this point, after racing ML-E he KNEW this alien form wasn't as fast as a Speedster...but what is speed over experience?
Bart tried to throw a lightning bolt at Ben's feet hoping that would slow him down, but Ben was crafty.
Suddenly XLR8 wasn't there... And Bart was pulled into the air by a flying red blue faster than Bart could see "AHHHH! HOLY CRAP! WHAT'S GOING ON?"
"What's the matter? Never gone hyper-Speed before?" Ben asked as he was now Jetray.
"Your dad's wiping the floor with us; what're we gonna do?" Duela asked
"Keep trying our best?" James shrugged, the group trying to regroup as Krystal transformed into her Thep Khafin form
"Use this!" Ship added, giving her Lodestar's magnetic arm.
"What will using THIS do?" Krystal asked.
"Wing it." Ship answered.
James cycles through his aliens, trying to find one that could be an even match for his father.
"AHHHH!" Bart screamed as he dropped from a lower height. He was dropped on the water, groaning
Ben landed and became Anubis, the wolf alien howling. The group gripped their ears as Ben howled at them, forcing James to choose. "SOUND-WAVE!" His equivalent to Echo-Echo. A tall yellow skinned alien with black markings across his body, stemming from his Matrix at the center of his body to the ends of his hands and feet. Shouting back at an equal harmonizing sound, James cancelled out his father's howl.
The two sonic's battled, the ground cracking under them
"Be still my beating heart." Selene fanned herself at the sight oif her mate in her species' form
Raven, Bumblebee, Jinx, Cyberian and Nightwing all attacked. The first four launching energy blasts whole Nightwing through a barrage of explosives...
And they got a hit
The sound battle ended, the dust fading revealing Ben in his human form with a grin "Impressive." he smiled before he transformed without touching the Biomnitrix
James panicked as he saw his dead transform into a Hybrid! "Humongoopsaur!" He gasped realising which form it was. Ben was now a large green viscous dinosaur humanoid shape alien with a silver fish over his head.
"He can do that now?!" James yelled in slight fear before he turned into his Nechrofriggeon form and unleashed a cold air blast to try and freeze it
Ben squashed down as he dodged his son's ice breath. "You have purple wings? When did you get purple wings?" Ben asked as he jetted up his arm and grabbed his son.
"Let him GO!" Raven shouted, cutting off Ben's arm with an anti-light whip. The damage quickly healed however, making Ben laugh
"Powerful magic you've got there." he smiled before he changed into Terraspin
"Rachel, pull back!" James called out, as he was let go and breathed heavily on the turtle alien, hoping to freeze him.
"Why?" She asked as Ben began to spin and tornado them away and Raven tried to hit him...with ZERO effect.
"That species is immune to magic!" Krystal explained, trying to use her extra magnetic powers to try and use metal to hold her father back but he sent Raven flying
Nightwing, Harlequin, Robin, Batgirl and Ravager all charged ready to fight hand to hand. Ben replied by turning into TenTen, drawing some quarter shaft weapons as he expertly battled the five
"Hello~, Sexy." EightEight smiled as she saw her husband's alien form.
"Have to admit, you're well trained." TenTen commented, blocking and kicking the group.
"Thanks, trained by The Bat." Duela answered
"Trained by a flying rodent?" TenTen asked in confusion.
"'Batman', dickhead!" Jason snapped and got a sucker punch in. "Ow!" Nightwing was silent, amazed that his daughter was barley doing anything against this guy in hand to hand
'What's with this kid? It's like she knows what I'm going to do before I do!' Ben thought to himself, disengaging from the fight and transformed again. A mighty tigers road filled the island, muscles flexed and claws extended.
Rath had arrived!
Batgirl's eyes widened as she saw the large tiger humanoid.
"LEMME TELL YA SOMETHIN', LITTLE BATGIRL! NO-ONE MAKES RATH MAD AND HOLDS HIM BACK!" Rath roared.
"Wow, Ben's ticked off." Helen commented.
"I think that little girl got under his skin." Hope agreed.
Krystal and James followed up, turning into their respective versions of Wildvine and Swampfire, hoping to pin him down with their vines.
It didn't work
"Ow! That hurt!" Krystal frowned as she lost her tendrils.
"Dad's gonna start tearing through everyone!" James followed up
"Hey, Tigger!" Cyberian called out, cold-clocking Rath as a distraction.
"What do we do?" Garfield asked as Cyberian was in a grapple with Rath.
Ben changed forms suddenly... Becoming Upgrade "Fell for it." he grinned, merging with Cyberian's arm
"Hey! Get off me!" He yelled as Cyberian was now upgraded and transformed into a MUCH more powerful fighter and robotic being.
"FUCKIN' RUN!" James screamed
"James Tennyson, you watch your mouth!" Gwen called out
"Wow, lots of incredible gear here. Outdated but kinda cool." Ben admitted
"G-Get our of there!" Cyberian tried to fight back, but Ben was much more adept at this and turned Victor's laser cannons on the group and fired.
James flew down and turned into a different alien. "PRISM-STONE!" He got between the blast and began to absorb the energy, though this was WAY much more than he anticipated. He ground his teeth as he did his best, eventually falling to his knees when the attack ended
Garfield, in his anger, turned into a lion and charged at Ben
Ben edged from Victor and turned into Wildmutt, grabbing Gar's face and slamming him against the ground. He growled before turning into Bullfrag to battle Aqualad. Aqualad saw how fluid Ben was with his transformations. Using water would make him use an electric alien or an alien that can revert it, hand to hand would have to do.
"Are you okay?" Dick asked James, trying to help him up.
"..." James didn't fully respond, either exhausted or embarrassed being bested by his father.
"Hubba-Hubba~." Attea smiled as she saw Bullfrag.
"Well, all of you ain't doing much to me. What can you do 'Aqualad'?" Bullfrag asked
"I can try and fight." He responded and got ready to fight like an Atlantean. The two fought hard and fast, Aqualad using water blasts and great strength but Bullfrag was VERY fast... And them Bullfrag fired a tsser gun point blank into Aqualad's chest. The Atlantian yelled in pain and, after a well fought battle, passed out. By now all of the Teen Titans where unconscious
"Jinx aren't you gonna Bad Luck him?!" Blackfire yelled, exhausted
"I have been!" she snapped, making the group scared
"What the HELL, Dad?" Krystal asked
"Hey, spending time with witches and fighting odds my luck's skyrocketed." Bullfrag answered, turning into a different alien and he evolved.
Ultimate Kek wrapped up the unconscious Titans and moving them out of the way "Sometimes the luck changed me to a different alien then I wanted, I just changed back." he shrugged, the Titans extra shocked. They hadn't even noticed! He could change THAT fast that they hadn't even notice him occasional changing into the wrong alien and then correcting himself?!
Isis fluttered her hand and spoke in Egyptian as she saw her husband. But what it translated to was 'Oh, gods above, look at him.'
"Right, with them out of the way. Why don't you try and fight me now?" Ben asked
James felt like there was not much point in fighting anymore... And he noticed the other Titans where smiling. They where ready to keep going... And he grinned "Okay Dad." James said as he stood up and activated his Matrix "It's Hero Time!" he called, transforming into Gigasaur. The Evolved Humongasaur roared, Ben matching his son with a grin
"Brilliant." He whispered and transformed once again, turning into a different alien. Ultimate Humongasaur and Gigasaur clashed, their fists grappling as father and son fought
"What're we gonna do? It's Dino vs Dino." Garfield commented as he saw the two.
"Well James has a truck up his sleeve." Krystal reminded
James grinned and evolved into Perfect Gigasaur. He landed on all fours, the saws on his back gridjign against the chest of his father. Ben roared as his son's saw sliced into him, cutting away at his armoured chest. 'FUCK! That hurts!' He thought and transformed to get away.
To do so... He went big
"Oh crap." The Titans gasped as they saw it.
"WAY BIG!" Ben proclaimed.
"Yay!" Fifi's daughter cheered as she saw her daddy transform into a To'kustar.
"He definitely loves showing off." Fifi smiled as she got a little flustered.
"Come on, James. Can you fight me now?" He asked, his voice booming from above.
"You know what? Not the first time, Dad!" James growled as he twisted his Matrix to another alien.
"Yeah!" Krystal agreed.
In a flash James had become Titan, his evolved To'kustar, while Krysyal became her version of it
"Dude. That is so unfair." Garfield frowned, his own transformations could only get up to ten feet at most sometimes.
Krystal was a pale blue skinned To'Kustar, armed with red fins and arm spines, a protruding fin from the centre of her forehead, blue eyes and Ship barely able to stretch over her massive shoulder.
"Two on one? Let's see." Ben smiled and readied to fight.
"WATCH YOUR STEP!" Gwen called out, not wanting anyone to step on the kids, the Titans or even their home plus the three where standing ankle high in the water so lots of waves as they just stood there let alone move
The three began to battle, a massive powerful martial arts fight in the machro scale
"What do we do?" Jinx asked
"Simple." Nightwing smirked and pointed at Way Big "Titans! TOGETHER!"
Ben grunted as he raised both arms, blocking a kick from Krysyal before he was caught by a punch from James. He responded with an elbow to James' chest and knocking him into Krystal. Ben, Krystal and James were panting heavily. It was now those three together, father and children, siblings vs their parent.
"Think we can beat him?" Krystal asked as she tried to get up.
"Don't know. But I wanna see." he grinned
Suddenly Ben was assaults by a falling blue... Er... Green whale as well as a massive bio-electric blast from Bumblebee
Cyberian roared as he unleashed EVERYTHING he had, every laser beam and rocket and more he had being unleashed in a massive assault
Statfire and Blackfire held hands, channeling all their power and unleashing a massive green and purple star bolt
"Azarath. Metreon. Zinthos. Azarath. Metreon. Zinthos. Azarath. Metreon. Zinthos." Raven chanted as she held her hands out as far as she could, her body in a star position with her cape waving behind her. All around her hundreds massive spell circles formed, made out of golden anti-light. It was forming one massive intricate ruin scheme. Suddenly anti-light chains shot from the seals and wrapped around Ben, holding him in place. Ben screamed as he was being blasted by the Titans, showing that they were able to get back up even after ring knocked down.
"Your new family's kickass." Krystal smiled
"Yeah." James smiled softly before he grinned "Titans! TOGETHER!" he called, slamming his Matrix and evolving
BEST MATCH!
"'Best Match'?" The Tennyson Family asked in confusion as they heard that voice from James' Matrix. The physical bodies of the Titans disappeared as James leapt our of the water and transformed into his evolved form, landing on the shore of Titan's Island and stand proudly.
ARE YOU READY?!
"PERFECT TITAN!" The combined and evolved alien being proclaimed.
YEAH!
Perfect Titan, a black and yellow armoured To'Kustar, green eyes, his Matrix around his waist like a belt and his centre fin was split in two, giving the impression of protruding eyebrows. The family looked in shock at the sheer difference of size they were. Krystal was a normal 50 foot To'Kustar. Ben was at LEAST 70 feet.
Perfect Titan, was about 6'5". The size of an above average human. The perfect evolved being raised his right hand fore-finger up to the side of his head and looked at his father. "We've got the winning formula!" Quickly making a pinch then followed a release, like he was waving; his voice sounded like a harmonious mix of ALL the Titans who combined into this form and then he moved so fast he seemed to disappear
"Wh-Where'd he go?" Helen asked in shock
"Couldn't YOU follow him?" Hope asked in shock
Helen just shook her head in awe and amazement.
BOOM!
THWACK!
CRUNCH!
Ben was getting hit at such speeds he couldn't keep track of where James was! First his chest, then he toppled down to his knees and then his jaw was punched...at least he thought it WAS a punch.
Krystal crossed her arms into a right angle, charging a bunch of energy for the To'kutar's classic finisher "Here, this might help." Ship spoke, giving Krystal an addition to her cosmic blast.
"Thanks, Ship!" Krystal answered
READY, GO!
"TITANIC FINISH!" Perfect Titan appeared and attacked with a powered up finisher. Ben looked up and tried to transform, only to be blasted in the face by his daughter and kicked in the back by his son and his friends.
"Ooh!" The Tennyson family winced as they saw the double attack of both Krystal and James.
SPLASH!
CRASH!
Perfect Titan leapt our from the blast and landed onto the shore, still on guard since their dad wouldn't go down JUST from that.
FLASH!
Suddenly a glowing green... Sun emergerged from the surf. Ben was in his Anodite form, the only male Anodite. A humanoid green figure made of energy, his hair a lighter shade if green which almost looked like flames
"Of course." James sighed as he saw his dad.
"Oh no." Krystal gulped
The wives looked at Gwen and Hope, knowing THIS form got them the most flustered "I think we all know where this is going." Gwen commented simply as she visible bit her finger to hold herself back
"Daddy!" Kitty cheered as she saw her father.
"Hey, baby." He waved before turning to James and Krystal. "That was a nice shot. Really got one on me." He then rushed forward and struck both of them, knocking them out of their transforms and knocking them out and since Perfect Titan was now back to James, The Titans were back too. All knocked down and out.
James was lying on his back, knocked out and down. Having taken the brunt of the attack. He had protected his family... And he had a massive grin on his face
"Ow..." Garfield groaned as he felt the pain in his face and stomach.
"Well done everyone. You got a few good shots on me." Ben smile, helping them up.
"Thanks, Mr Tennyson." Dick spoke, appreciating the lesson.
"How'd he compare to Trigon?" Vic asked
"Definitely...MORE dangerous and powerful. But...I don't know, he was holding back." Rachel answered
"But?" Kori asked
"I think we can beat my father." she smiled. The group smiled at that, helping each other up.
"You okay, son?" Ben asked, helping him up.
"Yeah, I'm okay." He answered, getting up "Thanks dad. This was a big help."
"You're Welcome." Ben answered, giving his son a big hug.
"'Perfect Titan'?" Krystal asked
James chuckled awkwardly at that. "Yeah..."
"PERFECT! TITAN?" Krystal yelled in shock. "You! Merged! Small! Strong! HUH?"
"I think we broke your sister." Kom laughed.
*time skip*
"Thanks for having us over, James." Krystal hugged her big brother.
"Glad to have you over. Give me a ring when the wedding is coming." James answered, whispering the second part.
"Who else would I have for my best man?" she smiled at him
James felt a warm smile come upon his face as he heard that. "Make sure you choose your bridesmaids and hen-do carefully." making her giggle
"Love you, bro." Krystal answered, leading Eunice to come up
"I KNEW there was something different with your Matrix." Eunice pointed at it.
"I know." He chuckled. "You should've been here when I had a tri-combo alien form." He whispered making her interest rise.
"Wait; What was that?" She double took.
"I'm gonna miss you, Eunice!" He spoke in an over the top way, patting her back in a hug.
"No, no, no! Don't just-!" She gasped as she heard that, seeing her brother being a jester
"Mama. It's time to go." Her daughter tugged at her skirt "Mommy is going to be worried."
"R-right. I'm coming." Eunice nodded before turning to her step-brother. "I'll find out what you can do, James." She pointed.
"I don't doubt it." He smirked.
"Okay, is that everyone?" Isis asked
"I think...wait. Where's Luna and Atem?" Selene asked
"They were going to the bathroom." Victor answered
"The bathroom?" James asked
"Yeah, you know how it is before a trip." Victor answered. "Garfield's with them, if they don't get out in the next-."
"Here they are." Garfield walked in with the two with the three covered in water, soaked to the bone
"What in the name of-? Why're you three soaked?" Isis asked with a frown.
"Those taps where weird. We tried to get them to work and..." Luna mumbled in shame
"Were drenched." Atem answered, holding her hand. Upon hearing that, the family calmed down, being understanding.
"Well, it's just water, we can dry them off when we get back." Ben answered as he rubbed Luna's head softly
"Well, alright. I'm sure that'll be fine." Hope added.
"So, we'll see you later. Right, dad?" James asked
"We are always here if you guys want a day off." Ben smiled
"Don't tempt us, Mr Tennyson. We need to do things for ourselves." Dick answered
"Your tooth still hurting?" Hope asked
"Yeah, still hurting." Garfield nodded
SNAP!
With a snap of her fingers, Hope fixed Garfield's tooth back to its former, and slightly better, glory "What the hell?!" he gasped a bit
"It's magic. Your friend isn't the only one who can make magic." Hope smiled. "'Twin' witches." as she hugged Gwen
"...Huh. Cool." Garfield answered simply with a casual nod. "Thanks for the dental work."
The two nodded with smiled. One by one the family entered the portal, returning home "I'm proud of you son." Ben praised, giving James a tight hug
"Thanks dad. That means a lot." The blue haired hero smiled softly as he returned the hug
"I'll see you later." Ben smiled "After all, you're family is waiting for you to visit any time. We know you'll knock this out of the park." he gave a nod before he added "Keep this world safe Jay 10." he said softly before he walked through the portal "Oh yeah! Happy birthday!" he yelled over his shoulder, one final call
"Jay 10?" James whispered, a soft smile on his face.
The events of the past month washed over him and faded away.
He didn't need to be like his dad, he was trusted to be his own man. His own hero. Control Freak was right about his fear and self doubt... But he can let those go.
The acceptance from the Justice League? From his father? He knew it now.
He... he was free. He was strong.
He was James Tennyson. He wasn't just Ben Tennyson's oldest son
He finally had his own hero name. He was Jay 10
He was at peace
"Happy birthday." Kori, Kom and Raven smiled as they hugged him. The sisters hugging his arms and Raven his back, the sisters kissing his cheeks while Raven nuzzled his neck
"And you're gonna be in for one big present." Jinx whispered as she and Karen snuggled agasint him
"Can... I finally join in?" Argent asked with a blush
"Sure." Raven nodded
"Let's get you to bed." Duela smiled as she picked Cass up and walked inside
"It is late." Bart grinned and followed
"Well, that was an eventful day." Terra smiled, eager for what was to come soon
"Yeah. I better head home." Gar nodded
"Have a safe trip." Terra nodded

Terra panted as she emerged from the ground, her body made of stone... And the first thing she saw was the three dead bodies.
Dick
James
... And the green, limp, hand of Garfield
"No! No! No!" she yelled. She couldn't belive she was seeing the dead bodies of her friend, of her lover and her brother. It couldn't be... She couldn't have lost all of them!
But her grieving friends prove that wasn't the case.
They where gone.
She cried, looking out the waters. She saw the dead body of Trigon slumped against thr destroyed Titans Tower.
They had won... But was the loss worth it?
