Sorry it took so long to update. I've been busy. :D Disclaimer: I do not own Ben 10. :(

I waited several seconds. "Kevin?" I asked again. When no answer came I put my badge up. I looked at Landon. "We have to go help them." I said dizzily.

Landon looked at me like I was crazy. "We have to go meet your grandmother soon."

I stood up. "I'm going to help my friends."

Landon grabbed my wrist. "No you aren't. If we don't tell Verdona your decision in the next hour we both will lose our powers."

I jerked away from him. "I have time to help them, and if I end up losing my powers then fine. I'm saving them." Before Landon could protest I ran out of the cafe. Kevin's garage was a block away. I ran there hoping the guys had taken Ben's car. I was lucky, they had taken Ben's car. I pulled out the key to Kevin's car. I had made him give it to me after I gotten my license, in case of an emergency. I closed my eyes and concentrated, looking for Ben and Kevin. "Got ya." I whispered.

I parked the car quietly. I stared at the cave for a moment, then checked the time. I had thirty minutes, then my powers were gone. I got out of the car and walked into the cave. A few feet in I cried out. The cave floor had disappeared and I was falling. I didn't fall to far before I made a platform. I sat on the platform for a minute, catching my breath. I finally stood up. I held out my hand. A ball of pink appeared, creating light. I looked down, but could not see the bottom. I closed my eyes for a moment. they were down there.

I would normally make stairs and walk, but I didn't have time. I held both arms out. I made a slide, with walls, that twisted down to the bottom of the cave. I took a deep breath, then jumped. I had to place my hands on the walls as I slid down so I wouldn't go to fast. My adrenaline was pumping by the time I reached the bottom of the cave. Ben and Kevin were close. I heard a scream coming from a tunnel to my left. I felt the blood drain from my face. Kevin.

l ran down the tunnel. A few minutes later I came to a huge room A small gasp escaped. Kevin was the one who had screamed. He was hanging in the air by energy cuffs attached to a rope that looked like it was made out of the same thing. I created steps and ran up to Kevin. "Kevin, are you ok?" I cried out.

Kevin's head had been down. He slowly lifted it up. "Gwen? Get these wires off of me." He said slowly.

"The wires, they shock him every five minutes." Ben said from across the room. He was cuffed to a wall, his arms too far apart to touch the Omnitrix.

I looked down and noticed the wires for the first time. I yanked the wires off of Kevin. I placed my hand on his cheek. "Are you ok?" I asked softly.

Kevin nodded slowly. "Yeah, now that your here. I'm always ok when you're around." He whispered.

I moved my thumb across Kevin's cheek. I desperately wanted to kiss him. "Kevin, I-I'm sorry." I whispered back. I now knew for sure the price to keep my powers was to high. I could not lose Kevin. I knew deep down I could live without my powers, but I didn't believe I could live without Kevin.

"Gwen, get us free before Vilgax comes back." Ben called out.

"Too late." A deep, cold voice said from behind me.

I slowly turned around and saw Vilgax. Behind him were at least a hundred of his minions.

Gwen finally came to her senses, but is it to late? 0_0 Read and review to find out!
