Her fingers ran briskly over the phamplet notifying her of any particularly interesting cars at the auto show. She sipped her strawberry milkshake as she waited for Kevin's return which came in an utmost unexpected way. There was over a dozen recieps in his hand as well as two car keys. Gwen arched her eyebrow as she stared at them. "I said I'd pay for a new car" Gwen arched her eyebrow as she checked all the receipts each one totalling over 1000 dollars. Gwen stared in shock wondering how big her bill would be. "You said you'd buy me a car like my old one. Do you know how expensive the car parts are for a perfect ride like mine?" He asked sitting down opposite her on the high stall. Gwen placed her elbow on the metal table and shrugged.

"Well, you're looking at it" She picked up another reciept. "I don't even know what this is" She stared down at the strange writing. Kevin removed it and took a glance over it. He smirked. "It's a submerable air pump"

Gwen arched her eyebrow. "You were trying to make an underwater car?" She asked. Kevin snaked his hand over to her drink and took a gulp. "Hey" Gwen complained grabbing it out of his hands. Kevin shrugged. "I though you owed me"

Gwen rolled her eyes. "Are you done shopping yet?" Gwen asked. Kevin thought about it for a second. "2 more hours" He stood up. Gwen sighed calling the waiter over for another drink until Kevin returned to take her back to his.

Scene change: Ben

Ben grabbed a stack of papers with his cousin's picture on it. It was them together arms over each others shoulders supporting each other. He smiled at that picture. It was their birthday and, surprisingly, the first birthday that they had got along. "I'm going to find you Gwen" He smirked walking up to a nearby post and stapling her picture to it with a staple gun. "One down 299 to go" He sighed thinking about how long this process was going to take. "I know" Ben took out his phone and took a picture of his cousin before tweeting it to all his Ben 10 fans.

Scene Change: Kevin

He grabbed the keys to his new cars already feeling the excitement of cleaning them up and customizing his ride all over again. He walked proudly up to his next stall until he saw several people looking down at there phones and pointing to something. Kevin turned his head and wondered how it was. He looked over to see the girl sitting there with a straw in her mouth sipping a peppermint milkshake as she read another magazine. Kevin's eyes widened. People had recognised her. He knew he should of never of bought her along. He saw one man around Kevin's age take a picture of her. Kevin instantly dropped everything and dashed over to the boy grabbing his phone off him. "Hey what the hell man" He complained. Kevin shoved it on the ground and stepped on it before walking briskly up to Gwen. He spotted a group of teenagers across the room about to walk over to Gwen and grab her. Kevin ran up to her grabbing her arm.

"We have to go now" Kevin told her throwing a jacket around her head.

"Wait, Kevin" He forced her up to walk on her broken legs. She screamed, yelped, collapsed into his arms as he carried her away to his car. People watched staring at Kevin as he dragged her out of the room. He made it to the elevator without causing too much havoc.

"WHAT THE HELL'S A MATTER WITH YOU" She screamed at him throwing the jacket off her and shoving it to the ground.

"Nothin' I just wanna go home" He answered walking out to his new car with her tucked up close to his chest. Gwen groaned in pain. "I didn't even get to finish my smoothie" She complained. Kevin rolled his eyes placing her on the backseat before moving into the front. "Big woop, I'll buy you some lunch" He told her starting the car and driving off.

"Can we go now then?" She winced as she attempted to sit up. Kevin rolled his eyes going turning into a drive through and driving up to the speaker. "Happy?" He asked her. She thought about his question. "Oh come on" Kevin complained. Gwen smirked.

Scene Change: Kevin's garage

He threw the bag in her lap as she sat up on the green couch. "I've got some work to do" He grabbed her shattered and broken legs and placed them onto two fluffy pillows before wrapping a blanket over her. "Sure you don't want to sit down and eat?" She asked.

Kevin waved her off as she shrugged. "Fine by me" She opened the wrapper and began eating as she watched Kevin pick up his burger and eat while he worked on his car. His blackened greased hands slid over the burger bun several times over as Gwen watched.

She wondered why he didn't suffer poisoning or something.

"Ah, Kevin?" She caught his attention. "WHAT?" He spat at her. "Do you always do that?" She pointed to his burger. Kevin stared down at the tar on it. "What? I like it this way" Gwen dropped her burger in the bag obviously put off. "You gonna eat that?" He asked.

Gwen chucked the bag towards him before grabbing her drink and sipping it.

He smirked taking her burger out and eating it.

Gwen winced her eyes laying her head to the side. "You okay?" He asked. Gwen attempted to sit up. "Where's your bathroom?" She asked. Kevin chucked the wrapper in the bin before bringing over a bucket. She stared down at it before giving him the most pissed off look of all. Kevin crossed his arms. "You're lucky you're hurt or I wouldn't be doing this" He picked her up in his arms and brought her into the house entering the bathroom and placing her down. Gwen winced her eyes as he let go.

"Call me when you're done" He told her about to walk out. Gwen grabbed hold of her trouser attempting to pull them down. "Dammit" Gwen breathed out harshly squirming.

"Gwen?" She heard Kevin knocking. "You okay?" He asked. "Why do you care?" Gwen snapped. Kevin scratched the back of his neck. "I'm coming in" Kevin closed his eyes opening the door. Gwen stared at him shocked. "What are you doing?" Gwen yelled at him. Kevin opened his eyes to see Gwen on the toilet with her trousers on. "You need help" He told her. "No, I don't. I can do it by myself" She squirmed. Kevin sighed picking her up and pulling her pants down. Gwen argued with him. He just sighed pulling her pants down. "Go now. Call me when youtr finished. I'll get you some towels"

"What for?" She asked as Kevin walked over to the door. "You're covered in grease and dirt. You need a bath" Gwen breathed out feeling absolutely useless right now.

Kevin brushed her cheek with the soap cloth as she stared at her plastic bag covered limbs. "Do I really have to wear these?" Gwen asked as she flicked some bubbles away from her. "It's too keep the bandages and casts dry" He grabbed a glass of water dumping it over her hair.

She closed her eyes shivering slightly at the coldness as Kevin washed the blood out of her hair. She leaned her head back and stared at him as he washed her arm.

Kevin noticed her stare and turned to her. "Something wrong?" Kevin asked.

Gwen narrowed her eyes. "How come you're being so nice to me?" Gwen asked. Kevin arched his eyebrow. "What are you talking about? You're a hostage, nothin' more; nothin' less" He wiped her face. "You don't treat me like a hostage. You haven't even made any demands" Gwen stated. Kevin's eyes lit up. "I've been busy"

"It takes 5 seconds"

Kevin gritted his teeth angry at her. "You're a prisoner Gwen, don't make me lock you up in a dark room cause I will do that to you, Tennyson" He grabbed her bra strap.

Gwen winced her eyes turning away.

"I'm sorry okay" She bit her lip not wanting to be left alone in the dark. Kevin stared down at the frightened girl. He released her knowing that she was afraid of the dark. "I'm sorry" He whispered letting her go. Gwen stared up at him seeing the guilt in his eyes. She took a tense breath in before breathing out. "It's okay" She whispered staring down at her legs. "The water's getting cold. Can I please get out"

Kevin nodded avoiding eye contact.

There was something about her.

Something he couldn't place. How come he couldn't hurt her without feeling guilty. He had never felt this way before. He had beaten and hurt people without even thinking about it and now he had barely touched the girl and he felt bad.

He helped her out wrapping a towel round her and patting her down. He stared down at her staring at the bandages. "Are you still in pain?" He asked. Gwen nodded slowly. "It hurts every time I move"

"Do you want more painkillers?" He grabbed a long pair of track pants and slid it on her before grabbing a baggy white long sleeved shirt and doing up the buttons.

"Yeah, I could use some more before I go to bed" She rubbed her arm. Gwen placed a hand on her arm and rubbed it slowly.

He grabbed her and picked her up in his arms and took her out the door to his garage. Gwen's eyes began to flutter shut as she rested in his arms. Kevin smirked placing her down on the couch allowing a pillow under her legs and arm. He grabbed two tablets from the table next to her head and passed them to her. "Thankyou" She whispered taking them with a glass of water as Kevin placed a blanket over her.

"Can, you please ring my grandpa tomorrow" She asked. Kevin nodded standing up. "Night, Tennyson" He muttered about to walk out the door and leave her alone in the darkness.

"WAIT" She called out. Kevin turned round. "Can you please put the t-v on" She asked polielty. Kevin arched his eyebrow pressing the button for the t-v and turning the sound down to a low seetting. He turned tound watching the blue and white colour move throughout the room giving light to a cold and dreary place. "See ya in the morning" He told her walking out.

"Night Kevin" She called back. Kevin smirked closing the door before walking over to his house.

Scene Change: Ben and Max

Max placed a gentle hand on his sons shoulder. "Ben can't be promoting your energy drinks right now, his cousins' gone missing" Max told the two men dressed in a formal attire. "Listen we understand. One of your team members is M.I.A" The brunette began. "But we think this is a new beginning" The dark haired man started. "Get this, a new team member" He stated.

Ben and Max's eyebrow arched. "Wait are you talking about replacing Gwen with someone else?" Max asked. "Gwen wasn't big, we can take this to an all new level" One of the men said.

"Like who?" Ben asked.

Both smiled. "Check this, a wonder dog"

"You want to replace my granddaughter with a dog?"

"Not just any dog. A wonder dog, it'll bring more publicity to the show"

Max was trying to hold back his anger.

Ben thought about it. "You can't just replace my granddaughter just because you want to get more ratings" Max barked. "Actually, we were thinking of changing the whole show. Ben's the star, the side kicks need changing"

Ben's eyebrow arch. "You want to get rid of Gwen and grandpa"

"Your grandpa's well past retirement. He's getting a little too old for hero stuff"

Ben breathed out turning round to his grandpa. "What do you think?" Ben asked. "Ben your cousin's missing we'll just have to deal with this later" Max told him. Ben stood up. "Grandpa this is a good offer. Gwen hates the show and you're struggling to do it"

Max sighed. "Your cousin likes the hero stuff just not the publicity"

"She needs some time off anyway" Ben insisted. Max sighed. "If we may, we do have another contract for Gwendolyn but we'll need her here to sign it"

Max looked down at his grandson and nodded. "If you feel it's best then you can sign it but we still need to be looking for your cousin" Max told him. Ben smirked nodding. "So, where's the wonder dog?" Ben asked as they threw Max the contract. Ben grabbed it signing the contract. Max sighed skimming his fingers over the front page to see Gwen's name. "I thought this was a contract for Ben?" Max asked searching through the pages to see where Gwen's name next showed. One grabbed the folder. "It's just to replace her with wonderdog" A golder retriever ran into the Tennyson household barking. Max smirked. "Come on grandpa. You said you always wanted a dog"

Max sighed signing the contract before giving walking over to the happy dog excited to meet the family. One of the men grabbed the blanket. "Thanks, we need you out there tomorrow advertising our drink"

"Ben 10 cola. Extra strength" The other showed them. Max grabbed the bottle and read it. "This is 200 percent sugar" Max stated. The two smiled. "Kids don't need to know that as long as it's got Ben's face and brand name on it we're in business" They stated. Max sighed. "Will you at least help us search for Gwen"

"Oh, sorry that's police business. We shouldn't intervene"

They walked out the door leaving them alone with the dog. Max sat down patting the animal as it rested it's head on Max's lap. "Do you know where she is, boy?"

The dog sulked.
