Her eyes slid down as she checked through her gramma, paperwork in one hand; red pen in the other. She felt like a prisoner right now; sitting next to her cousin as he sipped on a smoothie and played his game, every now and then he would turn to her. Staring at her paperwork to make she sure was going it. It was worth 35% of his marks. She couldn't mess it up.

"How's the assignment going?" He would ask every now and then. She was groan and mumble that it was going to take a while. Like always.

"Where's Julie? I thought she was with you?" She asked wondering why she had to be called back home so early. He shrugged sipping on his smoothie and playing on his controller.

"She's busy doing her assignment"

"The one I'm doing right now?"

"Yeah. Hey, you should write her assignment for her; maybe she won't be mad at me"

She turned back to her paper, glasses on and eyes scanning the page.

"No, and I think she would kill you if she were to find out that I was still doing your assignments"

"Only every now and then"

"No, it's always and I'm sick of doing it; you're really not learning anything just getting me to do it"

"But I'm a superhero, I shouldn't be wasting my time-" He noticed her eyes, daggered towards him. Now that he thought about it; she was always with him on all the times he had saved the Earth. He sighed, looking down at his smoothie.

"I'm sorry Gwen" He muttered avoiding eye contact. She sighed staring down at it.

"I'm halfway through editing; you could do the rest and just fix the mistakes" She passed it to him before standing up.

"Can I borrow your laptop to fix it?" He asked happily as he watched her about to walk up the stairs.

"I'll send you an email with it"

He sighed watching her walk up to her room and close the door. He sighed flicking off the t-v and beginning to read through the assignment.

She closed her bedroom door quietly, noticing Kevin already on her red and white king size bed, eating popcorn.

She smiled, as she stared down at him, mouth full of popcorn gazing at her innocently.

He took a gulp of food.

"I paused the movie for you" He muttered. She smirked looking at her laptop as she walked over to him, laying down on the bed and resting her head on his chest. She sighed, breathing out as he wrapped an arm round her and started the movie. She wrapped an arm around his stomach. She couldn't help but smile to herself.

"Popcorn?" He asked between munches, showing her the box. She took a handful and quietly ate.

"Finally some alone time"

"How'd you get him to leave you alone"

"He's currently checking the grammar for his assignment. I'll take him a few hours at least; Ben's really bad a grammar" She continued to stare at the screen.

'Knock, knock'

Gwen's eyes widened. She instantly turned to Kevin who nodded making a dash for her wardrobe.

"Come in" Gwen straightened her sheets, making sure it didn't look like anyone was sitting beside her.

Max opened the door to see his granddaughter lying there watching a movie on her bed.

"Are you watching a movie?" He asked smiling as he walked in shutting the door holding an object behind his hand. Gwen arched her eyebrow, as he came and sat next to her, placing a gentle hand on her thigh.

Gwen straightened herself nodding before removing her ear phones and staring at him.

"What's up Grandpa?"

"I...err...saw the current news about...you and your cousin. I just wanted to know if you were okay?" He asked her gently, coughing lightly at how uncomfortable he felt around this topic.

Gwen scratched the back of her neck, look away from her grandpa.

"I'm okay, I just can't believe Ben forced himself on me in front of a camera"

Max shook his head.

"Yeah, I heard the producer pay Ben $25,000 to kiss you on public television"

Her mouth dropped.

"$25,000. What the hell?"

"Gwen, don't swear" He muttered towards her.

She groaned, wincing her eyes thinking about the amount of money he had practically just made off her.

"It's okay, kiddo" He placed the small box down onto the nightstand before wrapping his arms around her.

She breathed out wrapping her arms around him before she noticed the small box on the nightstand.

"Is that for me?"

He smiled, looking back and grabbing it from the nightstand.

"I err...thought you should have this" He passed it to her.

"Thank you grandpa?" She mumbled before unwrapping her present, and opening the small box.

Her eyes lit up in wonder as she stared at it.

"It's wonderful grandpa, but I can't accept this" She tried to give him back the box, but he shook his head.

"It was your grandmothers bracelet and now I want you to have it," He wrapped his paws round her small, delicate hands.

"I'm so proud of you kiddo," He kissed her forehead.

"Don't wear it; your powers won't work" He flashed her a quick smile before walking out, closing her door.

"Phew!" Kevin breathed out falling out her closet and smiling goofily at her. She smirked back giggling as he came back over, wrapping her up into a bear hug before kissing her neck, tickling her.

"Kevin" She complained through giggles but he continued to kiss her as lightly as he could without leaving any marks for her cousin or grandfather to see. He smiled, loving the sound of her voice and giggles.

"I want you Gwen" He mumbled into her ear. She tensed a little, at his response to her, not knowing what to do. He noticed her sudden hesitation and removed himself from her. She gulped turning back to him and looking into his eyes.

"I...I've never...'done it' before" She muttered towards him being as honest as she could. It hadn't really come across Gwen's mind in a sense that she was kind of afraid of it. He gently thumbed her cheek and sighed.

"Me either but I'm not going to pressure you if you don't want to"

"You won't?"

He shrugged trying to act cool as he leaned against the wall, bringing her back into a bear hug.

"If you're not ready, we can always make-out" He smirked kissing her lips. She leaned on his chest, feeling his heat radiate into her skin. It was comforting, especially when he leaned forward and played the movie. They sat there for the time being, 20 minutes into the movie, before Gwen looked at him and leaned into his ear.

"I want to" She mumbled biting his ear. His cheeks flustered red as he thought about it. Taking her right then, right now.

"Are you sure?"

She nodded, pausing the movie and quietly placing the laptop on the floor before turning back to him and smiling. She grabbed his shirt as he pulled at her sweater, bringing his hands under her blouse and touching her breasts. She gasped at the sudden feeling, warm hands touching her skin. Her cheeks reddened as a low moan escaped her lips. He smiled as he removed one of his hands from her chest and tugged at her pants. She didn't move not knowing what to do. No, not until the door opened without a knock. Her back to the door, Kevin's hand still on her chest, another hand on her waist about to bring her skirt down. The couple were stuck like in deer in headlights not knowing what to do as the green jacketed hero walked through the door, paper and red pen in his hands only wanting to ask his cousin a question on a grammar mistake he had pulled up on her behalf. He expected her to be angry when he entered her room, expecting to find her studying at her desk or asleep or meditating or...something else other than having a dark haired, onyx eyed enemy at her side, running his hands up her body.

"Levin!" Ben hissed with such hatred before he stared over to his cousin still shell-shocked from her cousin's intrusion.

"GET THE HELL AWAY FROM MY COUSIN!" Ben screamed with such anger. Kevin looked into her green eyes knowing that she was petrified of what was next.

"I should go" He mumbled towards her before removing himself from the bed and placing his hands up high.

"Relax Tennyson, I was just leaving" Kevin forced a nervous smile over to the hero boy before he moved over to the window about to climb out but Ben shook his head noticing his cousin begin to wake from her fear induced shock and stand up from the bed, straightening her blouse and skirt.

"You touched my cousin" He blatently stated, accusing the older boy. Kevin's eyes widened as he stared towards the boy.

"I...um..." Kevin's face reddened in embarrassment.

"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Ben roared about to slam down the Ultimatrix if not for his cousin jumping in and grabbing his other hand, tackling the two to the floor.

"GO!" Gwen screamed towards Kevin before he could intervene on the two. Instead, he listened to her, nodding and jumping out the door away from the Tennyson household.

"He's getting away, Gwen" Ben forced her down, staring towards the window. He gritted his staring down at her absolutely furious to shreds.

"You let him get away" He screamed into her ear. She flinched in pain trying to move away from his grasp but he was alot more stronger than her and pinned her down, hands side by side her head.

Large feet hit the stairs. The two cousin's knew full well who it was. Their grandpa, climbing the stairs to find the two on her bedroom floor. One ashamed, the other furious.

"What's going on?"

"Kevin was here, touching her" Ben hissed not breaking eye contact with the girl.

"Alright, I'm going down stairs. Stay here you two" Max muttered before staring at the girl wincing her eyes at the intense pressure on her wrists.

"And get off your cousin, Ben" He turned away walking down stairs to get the

"Stay there, Gwen" Ben threatened her as he held her down. She looked away from him, closing her eyes and trying to shake him off but it was no use. He grabbed her cheeks forcing her to look at him.

"I told you that your not dating him; you lied to me; you betrayed our trust" He held her down.

"Don't look away from me, Gwen" He held her tight against him.

"Get off" Her cheeks flustered with anger as she tried to push him off.

"ENOUGH GWEN" He yelled at her, holding her hands, pushing all of his weight onto her slim fragile body. Tears sprawled down her face as she cried, giving up the fight. He grabbed her chin and holding her down.

"Look at me Gwen" She winced her eyes, looking up at him trying to blink the water out of her eyes. He frowned at her, upset and unhappy.

"You told me that you were not seeing him. You lied to me Gwen, you lied to me and betrayed my trust; you betrayed our family, Gwen" He spat at her with such hatred that it made her wince and shake her head. It still sounded worse to her ears then she thought it was in real life. She just kissed the guy she didn't do anything else. He leaned down, breathing on her neck. Gwen winced her eyes looking away from her cousin, but he held her close, keeping a hold on her chin. She felt sick just thinking about it. Him controlling her life. For the rest of her life.

"Give me your phone Gwen" Tears sprawled down her face as she turned her head away. He frowned, reaching around to the hidden pocket in her skirt and pulling out of her phone.

"Ben, please" She muttered towards him before he removed himself from her and grabbed her by the collar, pulling her up.

"What are you doing?" She asked as he dragged her out of her room and down the stairs to the t-v area. He shoved her onto the couch before scrolling through her phone. She sat there like a deer in headlights awaiting the slaughter of the upcoming car.

He frowned, flicking through her messages to Kevin.

"Driving lessons? Is that your secret code for 'making out'?" He asked staring at her blankly. She shook her head avoiding eye contact with him as she wiped her eyes.

"He's...he's been giving me driving lessons" She whispered wiping her nose on a tissue.

"Seriously? I've been told you I would give you lessons"

"You never gave me any lessons"

"What else has he been giving you huh?" He asked.

She shook her head, "Just...hanging out" she mumbled, twiddling her fingers. He gritted his teeth, shaking his head.

"You aren't going to be seeing him anymore. I'll make sure of that, even if I have to move schools"

She stared up at him shocked.

"You...you can't do that"

"I can and I will" He turned the phone around removing the battery from the phone before throwing it back to her. She stared at it, clasping it in her hands before looking back over to her cousin noticing him place the battery in his pocket. "I want to know where you are at all times from now on" He told her. She looked away from him as she slumped over, feeling sick.

He grabbed her wrists forcing her to look up at him.

"Have your Plumber badge with you at all times," He threatened. She closed her eyes nodding giving into her own demise.

"Anything else?" She muttered daggers in her eyes.

He shook his head, sitting down opposite her and grabbing her cold, clammy hands in his.

"I know you think this is unfair but Kevin's trying to trick you to get to me; he's a selfish, power hungry jerk who just wants to abuse you, Gwen. I don't want him to hurt you, never again, not after her kidnapped you, not after he tried to kill me and grandpa on several occasions"

She looked away knowing he was right. He was always right, cause he always argued and she could never keep up with him. He brought her into a hug, running a gentle hand through her hair and rubbing circles on her back. She winced her eyes, more tears streaming down her cheeks as she sniffed. Gwen shook her head, breathing out as she hugged him back. She hated him for being arrogant and stupid but he always watched out for her.

"I'm going to make sure Kevin's not back in your room, stay here, okay?"

She nodded looking away from him as she wiped his eyes. He smiled, kissing her forehead before he moved off.

Morning: 9am

This was first time she had ever overslept and frankly she didn't want to get up out of bed, even if it wasn't her bed. In the background all she could hear was Ben playing his PS4 in the background as she stared towards the opposite wall trying to at least pretend she was sleeping. After the whole fiasco last night, Ben had forced her to sleep in his bedroom, even if he had to sleep on the cold, hard floor just to keep an eye on her. Which he did, now he was still on the floor, sitting on a pillow and leaning against the bed as she tried to work off her rage induced headache.

"You've got four hours of meditation today" He eyes opened to find herself staring directly into Ben's eyes.

"Wha-" She shoved him away before sitting up on the bed, back against the wall as she tried to focus on what was going on. Ben shook his head, passing her the timer.

"I know you've been awake for a while, don't deny it" He stated towards her. She winced her eyes holding her head in pain.

"I'm not" She muttered trying to get up if not for her cousin leaning over her body, practically pinning her down.

"4 hours meditation" He placed the timer into her hands before he moved away from her. She groaned angrily before sitting up on the bed, drawing her feet up close to the body and resting her hands on her thighs. She noticed him placing on his jacket and placing his shoes on. She arched her eyebrow wondering what he was doing.

"Where are you going?" She asked gently as he placed his hand on the door knob.

"Out, grandpa's going to take care of you until I come back. He's down stairs" He threw her a pillow. She gulped, standing up and following her cousin down stairs to see her grandfather with a blank expression plastered across her face, with a slight frown. She sighed, sitting down on the couch and avoiding eye contact with him as Ben left the house.

"Am I grounded?" She muttered.

"You know you aren't allowed guests round without permission, Gwen"

"But-"

"No buts. I'm disappointed that you wouldn't trust me enough to tell me that you were seeing somebody"

She arched her eyebrow looking up at him.

"I'm happy that you're finally settling down and 'attempting to' have a normal life" He smirked at her, sitting down next to her and removing the pillow from her hands.

"I know Ben's not making this any easier but he has a point. Kevin's species is power hungry aliens. They thrive to get their hands on Antodytes"

"So you don't trust him?"

"Just be careful, that's all" He kissed her forehead before he moved off. She sighed staring down at her hands thinking about the dark haired power hungry man.
