A/N: okay, this needs to be updated so I can finish it soon and so I can get to work on new serieses. Soon, I promise you this, 'Benlie Weekend' will be up. I promise.

This is in Kevin's POV since the song is perfect for him. But generally, it's the Gwevin portion of this fic. Then the final chapter will be Kevin's.

Disclaimer: Characters are owned by Man of Action and song is by 'Boys Like Girls'. I definitely suggest that you listen to it.

Hero/Heroine

It's too late baby, there's no turning around

Gwen thrashed against bonds that held us all tied together. Ben was on my left and my favorite redhead was off to my right. I kept my eyes locked on her and focused on my weak attempts to absorb the raw iron that held our bonds to my wrists. My fingers touched it and I felt my skin covered in the cold armor. Apparently, our captor knew nothing of Osmosians.

I've got my hands in my pocket and my head in a cloud

With a wicked smile, I dropped to the floor, my bonds smashing and falling behind me as I landed neatly. Then, after checking to make sure I hadn't been seen yet, I reached up and pulled Gwen free of her bonds, feeling her limp body fall into my arms. "Thanks, Kevin," she breathed.

I was silent for a few moments before looking up at the unconscious Ben and deciding against pulling Ben down off the wall. He would be fine. That, and taking care of him when he was out cold would've been harder than just leaving him there.

This is how I do
When I think about you

Gwen and I bolted off, feet thrumming rhythmically against the ground as we made some headway before being seen. Then Charmcaster turned around, her silver hair flashing and eyes glittering angrily. I grinned and swept my fingers across the cold cement floor as Gwen held her off. Then I leapt over the shield that she used to protect the two of us and I slammed my mace-shaped fist into the ground at her feet, it shattering and setting her off balance.

I never thought that you could break me apart
I keep a sinister smile and a hole in my heart

A flash of mana roared over my head, making perfect contact with Charmcaster and knocking her down so that she lay sprawled across the ground, eyes fluttered shut easily.

You want to get inside
Then you can get in line

I looked back at Gwen to see her emerald eyes sparkling softly with the pride of being the heroine. And she smiled at me. "Good going, Kevin," she said, walking in a little closer to me where I stood over Charmcaster's limp body. Then she paused.

But not this time

As her eyes widened, I turned around to see a series of about three or four of her golems behind me. I leapt away, skidding across the stone ground and landing somewhere near Gwen's feet. I could see her tight-covered legs. "Those things just come out of nowhere," I laughed with a smile up at her.

She looked down at me, rolling her eyes slightly, but that smile still on her face. She put up a shield as I rose to my feet, shaking off the weak armor that hadn't provided as much strength as I would've liked.

'Cause you caught me off guard

"I never really realized how weird it is to fight on the good guy side," I told her as she stood there holding up the shield effortlessly. "I mean, I can just watch them on that side of the wall and think 'Wow, I used to be like that' but now I feel like I was never one of them."

Now I'm running and screaming

"You never really were," she said, wrapping a tentacle of mana around a golem.

I smiled at the redhead innocently and crouched. Then bounded around the shield of mana and let out a long war-cry, my fists turning into sharpened axes. I began to slice away at them, their bodies crumpling to shreds under my fierce blows.

I feel like a hero and you are my heroine

I never really realized how lucky I was that Gwen and Ben had found me.

I won't try to philosophize
I'll just take a deep breath and I'll look in your eyes

My armor fell away again as a blow to the back of my head knocked me against a wall, giving me a moment where my focus dissolved. I was exposed until another shield of mana fell over me and Gwen shot me a look that said "get your butt off the ground and go fight these useless rock-heads".

This is how I feel
And it's so surreal

Secretly, she meant it in a nice way.

I got a closet filled up to the brim
With the ghosts of my past and the skeletons

So I grabbed a stone that stuck out of the wall as a golem got too close to Gwen for my comfort. I focused and the armor covered me as I stood. Then, once I was totally covered, I raced towards her, jumping up and grabbing the golem around the neck and slicing my sword like arm through the throat, knowing that stabbing it in the back would've been too much like my old self.

And I don't know why
You'd even try
But I won't lie

It roared, head sliding off and Gwen just used her hand to push it down simply with an arrogant smile. I chuckled and said, "I thought being cocky was my job."

"You can share," she retorted sweetly, pushing past me towards Charmcaster who was slowly rising to her feet again, her silver hair floating around her so that she looked like a ghost bathed in the moonlight.

You caught me off guard
Now I'm running and screaming

"Gwen Tennyson," hissed the sorceress, fierce rage boiling in her eyes. "And Levin." Her fingers swirled some of her pink magic around her palm, creating what looked like a whirlwind. "Just peachy." Then a blast of magic came at us.

I feel like a hero and you are my heroine
Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin?

I managed to grab Gwen just before the wind blasted us against the wall. I had taken a good majority of the blow, Gwen only being hit by a few stray pebbles that had knocked loose from the old stones that I had smashed into. My head spun, but I clutched her tightly until the wind died.

She held me up against the wall so I didn't fall down. "You alright?" she asked, worry clear in her voice that seemed musical when she laughed and sounded like bells when she giggled like a little school girl. I loved her too much for my own good.

And I feel a weakness coming on

"Just get her," I breathed, taking a hold on one of the rocks to keep myself upright despite the realization that the armor on my back had been beaten off from hitting the rock. And my shirt was ripped. That was just great. Third one this week. "I'll be fine. I just need a few seconds."

Never felt so good to be so wrong
Had my heart on lockdown
And then you turned me all around

A snarl ripped from Gwen's lips as she charged viciously at the silver-haired witch. Charmcaster's eyes widened and then narrowed as she sent another round of the magic swirling her way.

Gwen side-stepped it and fired off some sort of spell that engulfed Charmcaster in magenta flames for a long moment until the sorceress stepped out, getting a square kick in the chest from my karate trained girlfriend who smirked to herself. "Fire's only a distraction from the burning," she said, standing over the witch with her hands swirling with the mana.

I'm feeling like a newborn child
Every time I get a chance to see you smile

Her skills were so much more advanced than I'd ever thought. Teleportation. Fire. Being able to come back out of her Anodite form without me to coax her back into our world.

It's not complicated
I was so jaded

That girl always gave me a new thing to smile at each day.

And you caught me off guard
Now I'm running and screaming

Charmcaster soaked herself into a portal that had created just below her, her body sinking into the floor with a quick vanishing act. Only her voice loomed. "Next time, Tennyson. Next time." Then the portal vanished. "You too, Levin."

I feel like a hero and you are my heroine

Gwen turned and saw me, a smile returning to her lips. Then fading.

Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin?

Of course, the second I look away, another golem is still there. I guess we hadn't gotten all of them.

It grabbed me around the throat, hoisting me into the air. I clutched at its hand, struggling to get a breath of air into my lungs. My focus drained again and I was forced into losing my armor, feeling the crushing power of the golem. I fiercely writhed, feeling my legs kicking into open air and my exposure being the death of me.

I feel like a hero and you are my heroine

"Kevin, don't!" she yelled, fear overwhelming her voice and fear ringing in her eyes and awestruck face.

I had no idea what she was talking about, but I wasn't about to go down without a fight. I gripped its hand harder and focused on absorbing the material.

And I feel a weakness coming on
Never felt so good to be so wrong

Slowly, it began to creep across my skin, going down my legs first before it covered my head. And the second it had entirely covered me, I felt the power of Charmcaster's magic taking me over and I howled, only praying that she wouldn't make me kill Gwen. I couldn't imagine killing her, seeing her die under my fist.

Had my heart on lockdown
And then you turned me all around

"Kevin, I just told you don't!" groaned Gwen loudly enough for me to finally understand what she had said. And I wanted to say "My bad" but I was too busy trying to get myself freed of Charmcaster's control and the golem's grip. I kept thrashing. Uselessly, of course.

Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin?

A flare of mana moved from her hand and came flying at the fist that held me tight in a strangle hold. And I was dropped, collapsing to the ground. Then Gwen sliced off the head with another wing-shaped flare of mana and then she kicked it down squarely in the chest.

I'm feeling like a newborn child

I held my head, feeling my knees giving as I crashed to the ground.

"Kevin, you bastard," she hissed, falling beside me and putting an arm across my shoulders. "When I tell you know, you should probably listen." She put a hand to my forehead and cleared the armor from my body, cleansing my mind of Charmcaster's cursed magic. And again, she hissed, "Bastard."

Every time I get a chance to see you smile
It's not complicated
I was so jaded

I just smiled and put my hand to the back of her neck and pulled her down a little closer to me as I crashed to the ground, giving into the powers of gravity. "Callin' me names don't fix anythin'," I laughed.

I feel like a hero and you are my heroine

Without hesitation, she leaned down and kissed me perfectly, her lips touching mine with soft sweetness that made me want more so desperately I could taste it. Her lip gloss had to be something like watermelon and cinnamon mix. She always tasted different at every kiss. A little magic on her behalf.

And I feel a weakness coming on

Before either of us knew what was going on, we were curling up there together. Her body was on top of mine and my tongue was in her mouth and we had to be there for at least a solid five minutes until someone cleared their throat from some length away.

Never felt so good to be so wrong

"Get. A. Room," came Ben's aggressive voice, now thrashing against his iron bonds that held him against the wall. "You guys are just gross. I'm fine with you dating and all, but can't you keep it to a minimum around me? I am very impressionable at this age!"

Had my heart on lockdown
And then you turned me all around
Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin?

I glared at him and Gwen rolled off of my chest as I took in another deep breath. Gwen rose to her feet and began to smooth out her skirt and fix her hair before offering a hand down to help me up. I took it, her warm hand touching mine. I could feel the sparks and chemistry bouncing between us like lightning through the night sky.

I'm feeling like a newborn child
Every time I get a chance to see you smile

Gwen let her mana crush his bonds and he crumpled to the ground like a rag doll. Naturally, I grinned and moved to wrap my arm around Gwen's waist. And as soon as Ben looked up, his face turned disgusted and he stormed off, throwing his hands in the air and complaining how sick we were and how he was so impressionable so we should just shut up about loving each other. Something like that.

It's not complicated
I was so jaded

Me and Gwen just followed him, sharing our discreet smiles, whispering secret "I love you"s to each other so that Ben wouldn't hear.

I feel like a hero
You are my heroine

He may have been the team's head honcho, but we were still part of the team, hero and heroine, and we would love each other whether he liked it or not. He couldn't control us and our emotions. Despite what a sin it was for us to be together, so opposite, but so perfect.

A/N: Love how this turned out. One last chapter after this. Review please.
