Crash

Kevin could barely focus his sight any one place for more than three seconds, he knew he was sick, he also knew that Gwen was driving his car which didn't help. Not that it mattered, but he hated it when anyone drove his car, even if that 'anyone' was his own girlfriend.

"Gwen…" He moaned, "How much longer?" Gwen, who gripped the steering wheel looked out the review mirror and then in front of her. There was an accident up ahead, police tape draped along poles, it would be a while.

"Thirty minutes." She replied, looking over at him sympathetically as he moaned again. "Hold on, Kevin, I'm just going to take a shortcut." Kevin closed his eyes, "Just be nice to my car." Gwen rolled her eyes, of course, always his car. She swerved the car to a smaller road and turned on the headlights, then there was a thump on the roof.

Kevin jolted awake, "I said watch the car, Gwen." Gwen ignored this and stuck her head out of her window only to see a large unknown alien above. "Shit." Was all she said before conjuring up some mana with her left hand and forming a binding around the creature's waist.

Kevin noticed Gwen's silence and said, "What's wrong, babe?"

Gwen didn't get a chance to answer before the alien pulled on the binding and tore Gwen out of the car, she felt weightless before she hit the concrete, and then the pain came. Kevin heard her scream his name and shakily took off his seatbelt.

"Gwen?" He opened the car door and practically fell out. "Kevin, stay in the car!" Gwen screamed at him, she was slowly raising herself off of the road, and it was not painless. "Damn it." She muttered, being careful not to alarm her sickly boyfriend.

"Are you all right?" Kevin asked, standing up using the car for support. "I'm fine." Gwen replied, now fully standing. The alien spa a green liquid at her which she deflected with her shield, it fell to the cement and melted through. "What did he have for breakfast?" Gwen asked herself.

Kevin absorbed the car's metal, he knew Gwen was in trouble and he wasn't about to let her get hurt on his account. He shook his head rapidly and everything came into view, he saw Gwen throwing multiple balls of mana at an over-sized alien. She was struggling and he noticed her bomber jacket was covered in dust from the road; this was not a pretty battle.

"Gwen?" Kevin asked, Gwen spun around, "Kevin, I said to stay in the…" A green energy blast hit Gwen square in the chest and she crumpled over in pain. Kevin ran over, careful not o attract the aliens attention, and picked up his girlfriend.

As dizzy as he was he carried her over to the car and checked her pulse, it was still steady. Then he laid her against the car and jumped at the alien in the middle of the road. He punched it a few times, and the creature barely reacted, except for throwing Kevin back a few feet.

The dizziness almost took over, but ten he remembered Gwen. He was sure she was just knocked out; nonetheless, the alien was going to pay. He shakily stood up again, and regained control. He ran at the alien, who spat out a green acid near where Gwen was lying.

It hit about three feet away from where she was lying and slowly burnt away the road. Kevin wasted no time in grabbing Gwen and retreating into the forest. He decided that was the best choice now.

About three minutes later he stopped behind a larger bush, put Gwen down cautiously and grabbed her cell phone out of her pocket. He went into the contacts list, found Bens number and called. The monotonous beeping commenced for a few seconds before Ben picked up.

"Hey Gwen." Bens answered, almost like he expected her call. "Ben, it's not Gwen, it's Kevin but we need help." Ben laughed a little, "You need my help? The great Kevin needs my help." Kevin was a little pissed, but pushed it aside. "Actually, Tennyson, your cousin needs your help." Kevin looked at Gwen's unconscious form and continued.

"An alien ambushed the car while she was driving, and then she was fighting it and I fell out of the car and… she's knocked out cold and there is a huge-ass alien out there that I can't hold off on my own." The other line was silent for a moment, "So the usual stuff?" Kevin bit his lip, "Now is not the time, Ben." There was no answer for some time, Kevin grunted angrily then hung up, in that very moment Ben was right behind him in the form of Jet-Ray.

"Kevin," He said in a monotonous voice, "Get my cousin out of here, Julie's car is parked by the turn-off." Kevin was somewhat nauseated but he nodded, picked Gwen up and headed through the forest to the nearest road.

Kevin heard the fight between Ben and the alien, but the whole time he was walking he just focused on making sure he didn't run into any bushes, especially while holding Gwen. Then he heard a high-pitched squealing noise followed by a crash, he was worried it was Ben for a second, than he heard his familiar voice holler, "Bo-yah!" And he knew it was all good.

He took a few more steps before seeing Julie's car; it reminded him for a moment about what happened to his. This thought quickly perished when he saw Julie dive out of the car, "Is she okay?" Kevin kept walking towards the car, and Julie opened the back door while shooting questions at Kevin. Kevin didn't answer, he had tuned Julie's voice out, but that was interrupted by another voice.

"Kevin, what are you doing out of the car?" He looked down to see Gwen's eyes somewhat open, she looked dazed out. "Are you okay?" Kevin asked, genuinely relieved. She nodded, and snuggled her head into Kevin's chest, he smiled and remembered he was sick. But that didn't mater now…
