Ben let out a huge groan as he entered inside the high school. This was really starting to annoy him. That stinked. He never heard of Superman or Batman skipping fighting supervillains just because they had to attend school; actually, they weren't superheroes in their highschool. And, Superman was... well Superman. He didn't need to skip school in order to save the world. Besides, it wasn't like Ben could do something worthwhile if he skipped school. He didn't know much about those dragons and where they came from. He checked the drainage system entire night, he didn't find anything worthwhile.

It turned out that real life wasn't some Sam Raimi movie. And his name was Ben Tennyson, not Ben Parker. He didn't know how Spiderman always found his villains inside sewers. He, for once, wasn't that lucky. The stink was overwhelming and it nearly made him vomit three times over. And the waste and garbage he saw beneath the pipelines...Feh, he was definitely going to do a few advertisements for those nature friendly NGOs. Man! Seriously, the world was totally trying to kill itself. Just when he was about to finish his third home run into arguably one of the most dirtiest place of the entire city, Cooper had the audacity to contact him and inform him about how those fire-breathing bastards didn't came from the sewers or Underground. They didn't come from beneath the water too. They didn't come from a spaceship either. The bearer of Ultimatrix facepalmed as he was shown the video clip of how those nefarious beings entered the city from a fancy glowing circle, which screamed magic, in capital letters, about it. It was pretty different than those like Charmcaster, Hex, or Darkstar's followers used (Yes, that pseudo vampire had a bunch of lunatic witches working for him.) He knew what their enchantments and runes looked like, how they teleported from one place to another using Ledgerdomain.

In this case, Ben couldn't recognise those specific symbols. Besides, those sorts of shapes would be seen while playing one of those fantasy and magical MMORPGs instead of a real life situation. He sent a few pictures to Gwen, even she didn't know much about it.; however, she did tell him there were many types of magic systems in the world and it was nearly impossible to track each and everyone's origins, she did promise to look it up in Friedkin's Magical Library and Ben trusted her to come up with something worthwhile, she was a genius, afterall. Besides, supernatural and magic had never been his forte. In fact, supernatural enemies like Darkstar had always been tough to beat and he rarely won one on one against them. And Paradox told him about a reality where Gwen went back in time and stopped the events of Kevin's mutation during Vilgax's invasion. This also happened to be the reality where Azmuth took back master control. So, in that timeline, Ben and Kevin were attempting to regain the partial mastercontrol Ben both gained and lost mysteriously. Unfortunately, they didn't get much success and Kevin ended up being mutated, a lot less than the crazy killer mode he went up against when Aggregor attacked. He was just physically disfigured. Gwen time travelled in past to change that. She did change that but the aftermath wasn't all sunshines and rainbows as she was expecting.

What happened was not something anyone had ever expected. Without Ben's master control or Kevin's partial mutation to support them, they lost against Charmcaster and Hex. Hex, also, ended up conquering the entire planet. It sounded pretty horrible. But the tale also taught him a very valuable lesson, never underestimate your foes, that makes it easy for them to turn the tables on you. That didn't mean Ben was paranoid, like a certain fictional Bat masked superhero, he just paid more attention to things than he used to do. It was a pretty welcoming change in a sense.

It wasn't like Ben completely hated school, that was from the days when JT and Cash used to make his school life living hell. In the later years of his middle school, he became reasonably well balanced. The tables have turned on Cash and JT, he was famous now, he finished his basic and intermediate plumber training, he finished his five year self defence training... and he was going to be living the American high school dream he always had. Unfortunately, hero business barged into his life once again. Normalcy never returned back in his life and he was pretty much used to the craziness in his life. Besides, he needed to finish his college first, even if he wanted to become a Plumber in future. While being a superhero was cool and all, being a superhero with a healthy paycheck and respect from government officials sounded even more awesome. Becoming a Magister himself, that was the only way to keep his passion and lead the adventurous life he always wanted to have without worrying for career and financial issues.

Ignoring the hate mail he got from his redhead companion's fan clubs, Ben decided to walk towards his first class of the day.

"You're never going to believe it, Kiyo! " A dark haired girl of asian origins enthused as she dashed towards her friends who were standing near lockers. "Take a look…"

Ben blinked in amusement as he glanced at the Japanese news paper. While he couldn't read what the fuss was about, he could clearly make out Typhoon's picture at the top of it. There was a tagline which was written in bold and the girl underlined it using a red marker. Ben didn't know what it exactly said, but the pictures were about him going toe to toe against the squadron of Mini Dragons. Culminating in the defeat of nasty savages and them getting splattered on the ground. And from the way those girls were talking, the article was mostly about the sort of damage his fight caused to the lacalities, With the debris flying around.

"That's really cool! I wish I could get an autograph." A couple of girls squealed.

"The photographers definitely know how to get on my good side! " Ben chuckled as he entered inside his classroom, a grin on his face.

Sometimes you can tell what kind of day it's going to be if you look carefully at all the available signs. Like paying attention to how the tea leaves in your cup, first thing in the morning, behave while steeping in your cup, or how many times you sneeze, with the positive thought that maybe it's good things about you and not just you getting sick. As luck would have it, Aunt Sachiko went out of town for a few days, along side her husband and daughter, which left the kitchen and the rooms all to himself. He picked up a brand new kettle from the cupboard and decided to do something interesting with it. He had seen Gwen doing such amusing stuff and she told him there wasn't much magic involved. It was more for amusement and fun. So, as he made his morning cup of tea, he happily poured out the piping hot water into his mug, careful to not splatter himself with the scalding liquid. As the water started showing the reddish-brown color of the orange pekoe after a couple of minutes, he watched as some of the tea leaves floated to the surface, including one particularly strawlike piece which twirled gently in the thermal undercurrent at the bottom of the cup. The piece of tea leaf bobbed up and down twice and then sank to the bottom of the mug. Ben didn't know what to make of that, this fortune cookie stuff never seemed to work for him.

He couldn't deny though, his recent life had been really stressful, both civilian and plumber. He was repeating his last high school year at Kuoh Academy while he should have been going to some not-so-Ivy- League college back home. He didn't blame plumbers for sending him here, he knew they just started reestablishing themselves on the Earth and they didn't have much manpower. Besides, this really wasn't an issue any normal plumber could handle. He was just a special case. That did make him a bit proud about himself. It was rather debatable if over confidence was good for battles or not, it was surely necessary to keep himself sane most of the time. A wide grin spread over his face as he thought about his picture in newspaper and girls fawning over him.

Man! That was a cool distraction. At least he was a sensation amongst teenagers, despite Harrangue's constant efforts to tarnish his reputation. Seriously, That guy was acting like as if he had kicked him out of his home or something like that. He was hell bent of proving the Alien Heroes as Ultimate Evil or something like that. Ben thought about egging his house and turning that miserable bastard into an alien himself using Galvan tech but then he thought it would make him no better than likes of Phil and Vilgax. Besides, Ben fancied himself as a super hero, not a super tyrant. Suddenly two arms wrapped themselves around his neck, two extremely soft but firm mounds pressed into his back.

Ben blinked in realisation, there was only one person in this academy who greeted him like this on day to day basis. The same person who was responsible behind making the seventy-five percent of the male population's hatred towards him much more than combining the one Vilgax and Albedo had for him. His ever affectionate, shameless but extremely pretty red haired companion Rias Gremory.

"Why didn't you reply to my text messages yesterday, Ben~kun? " She spoke with a cutesy pout as she leaned against Ben's desk, the Gremory heiress stood right besides him, giving him a pretty good view of her girl womanly curves and shapely thighs. Ben facepalmed a bit seeing her, she really put him into the danger zone everyday. She was gifted with deadly curves and everything around her screamed supermodel. The angle she was sitting in also offered him a very good view of her enormous cleavage. Ben rolled his eyes in irritation, she clearly knew how to take a boy's breath away.

"I did write you back three hundred times. Besides, you gotta understand, I am not some night owl who can keep going all the night! " Ben remarked casually, carefully averting his eyes to glance into Rias' cerulean orbs, trying his hardest to not blush like a giddy teenager. If he got flustered here, he will never hear the end of it

"Argh! But I have so many things I want to talk about. When you signed off from the messenger, It really made me sad and lonely! " Rias huffed, poking his shoulders. The Ultimatrix bearer let out a sigh.

"You really don't need to run everything by me Rias, I am hardly a reliable source. " Ben chuckled. She threw him a displeased glance but it was pretty mild. Ben looked around her, as if expecting her to magically appear in front of him. It usually happened everyday, that didn't happen today though. It surprised him a bit.

"But we should be trying to know each other better, if we don't act now, the relationship between us won't survive!" Rias explained heatedly, literally shaking him with every syllable by grabbing his shoulders.

Ben was dumbfounded at the sort of strength Rias had, the grip she had was gentle, yet ironclad. Combining with the fact that she and a group of people at Kuoh Academy had not so human DNA, this only further proved his suspicions. Ben didn't automatically assume that they were behind all the dragons stuff which was going on in the city. It wasn't a crime to be a non-human; however, for the sake of his "peaceful" High school life he needed to solve this puzzle. He needed to start with Rias, with whom he shared a previous connection. Rias might be a bit strange and mysterious but Ben was pretty sure that she wasn't evil, it appeared to be a safe start for now.

"Come on Rias, Aren't you exaggerating the facts here? Besides, as far as I can see, you are always surrounded by an ocean of people! " Ben raised an eyebrow

"Most of them think I am some sort of goddess who should be adored and worshipped all the time. They think I am beyond all concepts of humanity and mortality. I am someone who always needs to set an example. I always need to lead everyone like a big sister. It's not like I don't like the attention I get from them, but I am just your everyday high school girl. I have my own issues and struggles to deal with!" Rias explained with a miserable sigh and a downcast look adorning her face.

Although Ben didn't relate with the issues Rias was facing, he tried to show his support by patting her shoulders. She sat beside him, still too close for his liking. Ben didn't pay much heed to that, if this was going to become an everyday thing, he might as well start developing immunity to that. She continued talking as her shoulders slumped in depression.

"Not only that, my parents want to control every aspect of my life. They have decided everything I should do in the future, who I should date, who i should marry... every frigging thing in my life is dictated by them. They even set up this boyfriend for me, some douche bag called Riser. He is rich, handsome and loved by everyone. But I think he is just a spoiled brat, a playboy who collects girls like trophies. But my parents don't agree with me, they even forbade me from seeing you all those years ago, just because I kicked the grilled chicken bastard in between his legs!" Rias snapped in cold, unadulterated fury.

"Is that why you disappeared all of a sudden and never contacted me back?" Ben asked out of curiosity and slight dismay.

"It was the cruellest way to punish me, I don't think I can ever forget that. I would rather become a nun instead of dating someone like him." Rias concluded defiantly, while leaning her head on his shoulders. Ben let out a groan, this was really starting to look like one of those cheesy romantic comedies.

"Well, don't worry Tomato. I am here for you now. I will find a way to deal with your parents and this grilled chicken douche you are talking about." Ben responded with a familiar grin, awkwardly grabbing her hands to comfort the depressed girl. The red head quickly pulled away with a mischievous grin on her face. Ben narrowed down his eyes, thinking about countering whatever teasing she was about to come up with. Before Ben could do that, his hand was already mashed in between her enormous cleavage.

"Ufufu...if you keep saying things like that with such smile, I might get aroused!" She spoke in the same cheerful tone, not a single hint of shame in her voice.

"Normally, it should be the boy putting the moves on the girl. If the opposite is happening, it's a sign of danger. I would know something is up because never in a million years would a girl flirt and tease a guy like that. He would probably think she's up to something." Ben raised an eyebrow hinting that he was being stern.

"There's a myriad of factors." A coy Rias explained as she dangerously leaned in closer to Ben. Ben had to stifle a gulp whenever he saw Rias now a days. Her body screamed curves, abs, and perfection. Even though it was a uniform, she really had dressed to impress as Ben saw in his own eyes. 'Even if it causes my hormones to go haywire.' he thought uncomfortably, "what about the fact that the girl really likes the guy and wants to take their relationship upto the next level?"

"What about the fact that the girl is probably way out of the guy's league and the guy isn't perfect boyfriend material?" Ben responded with a sigh.

"The girl can prove the guy wrong, like a thousand times over!" She playfully winked, scooting even closer. The gap was getting narrow between them.

"The guy might give it a shot if the girl agrees to meet him somewhere in private and clear things over, in a proper way. " Ben replied with a casual tone, he needed to talk to Rias anyway. He might as well use the opportunity given to him.

"Ufufu...if you are planning to do some hanky -panky, please be gentle with me." Rias whispered in an enticing manner, sending shivers through Ben's spine.

"I a-am n-n-not a guy l-like that!" Ben vehemently denied, while stuttering, with blood racing towards his cheeks.

"Even if you were like that, I wouldn't hate you. You are the first one who ever stood up for me." Rias responded in an ecstatic tone. She then threw her arms around Ben and hugged him. Ben, rolling his eyes and smiling at her reaction, hugged her back. His eyes bulged when he had a feeling that Rias was enjoying the hug because she gave out a sigh or a moan. Her body rubbed against his so tightly that she was at a point where something embarrassing was about to happen. Especially, in front of the class filled with students.

Panicking, Ben wanted it to stop before it did. "OK! OK! Rias!" He pushed away as gently as he could.

"Sorry!" She giggled.

"Mister…Tennyson and Miss Gremory," Ben clearly failed to notice that the teacher, Miss Orimura, had already arrived and she was standing behind their table "I'm glad to see my students getting along so well, but let's focus on our class as well, hm?"

"Sorry, Miss Orimura," Rias said sheepishly.

"Sorry, Maam," Ben muttered. As soon as the teacher turned back, Rias blew him a kiss which turned him bright red. This was definitely going to get more difficult to handle from now on.

None of them noticed though. A small wyvren with green eyes, which were glowing with a sickly aura, swiftly escaped through the back window, undetected by everyone.

The Blaze Meteor Dragon King, Tannin, smashed his fists on the ground so hard that it created a shockwave which shook the entire forest. Seething, he exhaled a huge ball of fire in the air, which could be easily dubbed as a meteor. "You try to revive your dying race, even at the cost of losing your dignity, pride, and your identity. But the craziness keeps building and building." The members of his kin were being kidnapped, murdered and humiliated. There was nothing he could do at the moment. No leads. No evidence. Just a few disfigured dead bodies and reanimated corpses which apparently emerged inside a human city only to be stopped by the same warrior who stopped Diagon a year ago. Apart from that, there were no magical traces, just a hole on the face of the Earth which used to be one of those facilities where his kin were supposedly tortured and mutiliated.

All thanks to the inefficiency of the so called Red Dragon Emperor, Heaven's most feared exorcist. He may be feared. But he isn't very efficient if he failed to complete the simple task of catching the culprit behind all this.

He wanted to shut his eyes as he watched a news channel from the human world. After he heard about the reanimated sprite dragons attacking humans, he specifically ordered one of those television sets to understand what the hell was going on." Despite minor casualties, there is still only theory and speculation for what caused the destruction in Kuoh Town." The news reporter continued to rant on while Tannin could only try and control his temper. He merely walked to the television set and shut it off by smashing his fists over it. Which caused the machinery to instantly shatter into pieces. It was no use though, the dragons living inside his sanctuary were already listening out on the the news from the television sets which were installed in various parts of his territory, a huge forest located inside the landscape which was owned by the Gremory household.

They had been very nice neighbours and quickly offered their help in the crucial situation; however, no amount of patrols or magical barriers were helping with it. Currently, it appeared that the person behind it operated in ways which were at the moment, beyond their understanding.

Rubbing his eyes with his hands, Tannin tried to steady himself. But he felt it very difficult, given recent circumstances. He felt very likely to berate his underlings for listening to events like that, it only elevated his concerns and panic even higher. With what the crazed maniac who was not only kidnapping and mutiliating the dragons, he/she also started reanimating their corpses to do his/her bidding. Tannin felt completely out of his league and that made him feel frustrated and angry beyond anyone's reason.

"It's only a matter of time before High Class Dragons start getting kidnapped and murdered! That also includes my family. I am a Dragon King for crying out loud and a Ratings game champion, I shouldn't be helpless like this!" Tannin bellowed in frustration.

Hearing someone coming beside him, Tannin continued to close his eyes in anguish. "Go away." he managed to say.

"Is that really the best possible courtesy that the Dragon King truly provides?" the man asked unamused.

Frowning, Tannin turned around when he realized the familiarity of the voice. Sure enough, the man standing, or more like floating in front of him, was recognizable, not to mention he was the last person Tannin wanted to see right now.

"Go away Angel Trash, I don't have time to deal with incompetent losers like you." Tanin sighed, exhaling a few flames alongside his words.

The man didn't respond but he brought forth his hand, revealing a red metallic gauntlet, which appeared to be influenced by a dragon. Indeed, the person was none other than Issei Hyoudou, Heaven's Strongest Exorcist

"Tanin-san, I have learned a few valuable lessons in my short life and I would like to share them with you. Drowning in constant sorrow and anger are only for the weak. I would hate to think A dragon king like you've gone to such a route, a brave dragon like you should inspire your kin and assure them about their safety instead of venting out his frustrations on anyone else."

"What can I do for you, Sekiryutei?" Tannin said as calm as he could to Hyoudou. He sat down on the ground and motioned the man to come closer to him.

"The problem originates from the Underworld. And from what I can guess we are dealing with a being who is charismatic and powerful enough to make High Level Stray Youkais and Demons working for him; however, I still believe the freakazoid is after something big. He is researching on the dragons for a reason. A motive that is unknown to everyone for now, as long as we don't know what this being is attempting to accomplish, we won't be able to catch up with him." Issei explained with a serious and firm tone.

"I chose my side thousands of years ago Sekiryutei, I am not going to betray the Underworld just because you think a devil is behind all this." Tannin pointed out in a stern tone which left no further room for discussion.

"I am not telling you to change sides here. What I mean to tell you is that the person behind all this is a very smart individual. Highly knowledgeable in various fields of science and magic, experienced and probably Ultimate Class if he has High Level beings guarding his facilities. Now I believe such beings must have a history. Good or bad, not everyone is skilled or intelligent enough like that, something which we can use to track him down." Issei remarked with a frown

"Do you really think I would ask Heaven for help if I had any idea about all this?" Tannin snapped at the host of The Heavenly Dragon, he raised an eyebrow as he asked out of curiosity once again.

"So you really have nothing else?" The Dragon King spoke in an intense voice.

"I would like to say we don't have enough, yet! But what I mean to say is Heaven and Hell need to work together in order to crack this mystery. We are getting closer to achieving peace amongst the three factions. As dragons, we can't let some creep use our race to spoil it. The being may be smart but he also has to deal with the forces of Heaven and Hell. Now the Diagon Slayer is onto him too. He can't escape all of us at the same time. He will slip sooner or later, we gotta be patient and careful here." Issei explained in a serious tone as he leaned back against a tree, while looking into the giant Dragon King's eyes, Sekiryutei didn't flinch, even for a single moment.

"You are right, the world can't survive another great war." Tannin nodded reluctantly. He narrowed down his eyes at the reincarnated angel. "I also hope there won't be any major setbacks like that in the future. The mission is still about rescuing my kin, not discovering their mutilated, dead bodies and destroying a facility which could have pointed out the mastermind behind all this. You can't afford to be reckless here, Brat! "

"Trust me here Tannin-san, I may have my flaws but not knowing how to do my job isn't one of them." Issei spoke out in a reassuring tone. And with an exchange of a friendly wave and reluctant grunt, Issei vanished in a pure white magical circle.

Ben let out a loud yawn as he stretched both of his arms while leaning against a tree, the gentle spring air brushed against his face as the sound of the school's final bell echoed throughout the campus, indicating the last period had ended. The place he found himself in was a small forest located right behind the main premise of Kuoh Academy. In the middle of the forest was The Old School Building that was left behind when the new main building of the school got completed. According to what he heard from everyone, the old school building was now used as the base of operations for some kind of occult or paranormal club, which also happened to be the club Rias was a part of. She wasn't just a part of it, She was the de fecto leader of the said club. Ben heard the rumours about how each and every member of the Occult Research Club was a famous Idol in the academy, he had yet to meet anyone apart from Akeno.

Besides, the whole school was too big for a human being. It was certainly impossible to see everything if you are walking on your feet. The building he was staring at was a two-story medieval like building, surrounded by forest of green and are quite the distance away from the school's main building. Aside from that, there's nothing else interesting about it. Apart from the fact that it might be run by two or more supernatural beings themselves; however, that was just another Wednesday to Ben Tennyson. When Ben asked Rias to meet him in private, she suggested him that he should meet her in the ORC club area. The whole club was out in the town to run some errands, so there won't be anyone to disturb them here. Ben didn't like meeting Rias on her terms but beggars can't be choosers. If he wanted to solve the mystery about where those strange DNAs he recently got in his watch came from, he needed to find out what Rias was hiding from everyone.

In a wary pose, Ben looked around for anything out of the ordinary. "Where is she?"

"I am here, Ben~kun!" A familiar voice filled with warmth and affection called out to him.

Ben sighed as he noticed Rias walking toward him. She was dressed a bit provocatively right now, which only made Ben nervous. Rias was in a small baby blue jacket that fell down to her midsection only. Speaking of midsections, her jacket was open revealing her in a tight pink crop top showing off her cleavage as well as her firm stomach. Her skirt was relatively shorter than those she wore with uniforms. It appeared that her western style of clothing made her even more appealing to him. She didn't waste a single moment and put her arms around his waist.

"I am really glad we are finally out of that "Just Friends" phase!" She beamed towards him, moving his arm around her waist. His hands were then taken by hers. She gave Ben an enticing stare," I really thought you couldn't take a hint but you really surprised me with your boldness, Ben~kun!"

"I really don't think it's as simple as that!" Ben deadpanned, to be honest he was a bit flustered and it was hard to not show that. He knew where this was going to lead and it was something he was rather uncomfortable with. He might have willpower which could move mountains, but he was still a hormonal teenager in the end. He needed to stop things before they spiral out of his control and he ends up doing something he may regret his entire life, "I don't get it Rias, You were never so focused on me before."

"I wasn't? You really didn't pay much attention to things, did you? Your denseness knew no boundaries back then." She responded with a mischievous smile.

Flashback Start

A thirteen year old Ben took his seat inside the theatre, the thirteen year old girl sat on his lap. She was reasonably tall around her age and her crimson hair flew radiantly in the air, whereas Ben didn't grow at all—he was short for his age. The brown haired boy huffed in annoyance as the red head innocently wrapped her hands around his neck.

"Rias, can't you just go and sit in your own seat?!" Ben questioned with a frown.

"But, Ben~kun this is an R-rated movie. What if I get scared and have nightmares for years?" Rias complained with a pout as she buried her head inside Ben's T-shirt.

"It's sci-fi for crying out loud, not some creepy horror movie! Besides what's so scary about Terminator?" Ben let out a groan of dismay.

"It's scary!" Rias whined, continuing in the panicked tone. "That guy is liquid metal, and it's super crazy! He looks small, but he's really mean! There was this part where he threw the original Terminator out of the window! I don't know how they're going to stop him because he's Indestructible. What if he comes after me, I don't want to die!"

"It's alright Rias, I won't let him get to you." Ben chuckled, rubbing his friend's back soothingly. He failed to notice the devious grin which crept over Rias' face though. She tried to rest her head on Ben's shoulder; however, considering the fact Ben was shorter, she just rested her head on top of his.

"I know Ben-kun, I know. That's why I really wait for summer every year!" She remarked rather wistfully.

Flashback End

Ben blinked, not really understanding what she meant by that. He shook his head in annoyance. He should get to the point as soon as he possibly could. He couldn't handle another round of Rias' theatrics.

"You're not in the mood?" Rias said disappointed. Her jacket fell on the ground, Revealing her bare shoulders, the scantily clad girl moved her hand over his shoulder, sensualy pressing deeper onto him. She was soft and warm, also she smelled like honey and roses which made it a bit hard to ignore her, "I'm finally happy being with you. It's time you should stop seeking stupid explanations and accept the way things are now. You should be happy!" She said pulling his face forward to her. Slowly gravitating her lips onto him.

Ben looked abashed and was tempted to just break out of his self restraint and let his hormonal side take over; however, He had a lot of stuff on his plate. He couldn't afford to lose focus now. He took a long breath, carefully he gathered his thoughts before he spoke. He pulled his sleeve up, but not revealing the miraculous Galvan machinery which allowed him to transform into any sentient life form which he came into contact with. Ben pulled it up just enough so he could transform if the need arose.

"I know you are not human, Rias!"

A/N And done, I hope you all enjoyed.

Now before we get into anything else, how would you guys like it if I added in a Familiar for Ben? I have one in mind already, I just wanted to see if you guys were up for that. I will also be adding in a teaser for Ben's Sacred Gear, so I would like to see you guys guess it.

I really have nothing else to say, so goodbye. Have a nice day and please review.

Sorry for having to delete this story; My account was acting weird and wouldn't let me view the traffic on it.
