I'm looking forward to this chapter. Ben actually does something smart. :o Enjoy. :D
Kevin
I glanced around. I had a strange feeling I was being watched. "Who's there?" I growled. I waited, but no one answered. "You're imaging things Levin." I mumbled as I opened my car door.
"Are you really? What are you imaging?" An annoying voice asked from inside my car.
I glared in at the backseat. Ben was stretched out, his jacket wadded up into a pillow. "How'd Gwen find me? Where is she?" I growled.
Ben sat up. "She didn't find you, I did." He said as he climbed out of the car.
I looked at him. "You? No way."
Ben rolled his eyes, and then he tossed something at me.
I caught it. My eyes widened slightly. "My badge?"
"It has a badge locator, remember?"
I blinked. "You tracked me with your Ultimatrix?"
Ben shook his head. "Nah, I used Cooper's plumber's badge."
I frowned. "Why didn't you use Gwen's?"
Ben shrugged. "Cooper was with me when I had the idea. Kevin, you should come back."
I gripped my badge. "I'm not coming back."
"You have to! You know all those guys you drained powers from when you went crazy? Well they're out for revenge. They beat up Cooper."
I laughed. "Cooper? They beat up Cooper to get revenge on me? How lame."
Ben glared at me. "This is serious Kevin. Darkstar, Argit, and Vulkanas are after you, maybe even more."
I raised an eyebrow. "Vulkanas? I never drained his powers."
Ben looked surprised, and then he grinned sheepishly. "Yeah so he's after me. I didn't think you'd notice if I added one."
I frowned. "You take care of Vulkanas. If Argit and Darkstar are stupid enough to come after me they'll regret it."
"Kevin listen to me!" Ben yelled.
"Watch how you talk to me." I growled.
Ben ignored my threat. "You have to come back, Gwen needs you."
I slammed my fist on my car hood. "Don't you think I'd be there if she needed me? I'm not good for her. She's better off without me." I almost yelled.
Ben's expression softened slightly. "Is that why you left?"
I looked down at the dent in my hood. "Yeah, I tried to kill her Ben." I looked him in the eye. "I've turned into a monster three times, gone crazy twice. This time I was crazier than when I was a kid. If I ever absorbed energy again there's no doubt in my mind that I'd kill Gwen for her powers. I'm not gonna let that happen."
Ben shook his head. "You should tell her that."
I narrowed my eyes. "No, and you'd better not tell her." I growled.
"I might never get the chance to tell her anything."
I cocked my head. "What's that suppose to mean?"
"When Cooper got attacked he wasn't alone, Gwen was with him." Ben said slowly.
My heart stopped for a second. "What? Is she ok?"
Ben looked down. "Cooper said Darkstar appeared in front of them. While Gwen was focusing on him Argit shot a needle at her. She fell to the ground. Cooper yelled her name, but it's doubtful she heard him. Cooper tried to fight them off, but Vulkanas was also there. He might've been able to beat Argit, but the others? He didn't have a chance."
I grabbed Ben's jacket collar. "Why didn't you tell me that to begin with? Where is she?" I growled.
"An abandoned warehouse, they're using her as bait. Now put me down."
I let go of Ben. "Let's go." I said as I got in my car.
"Let me get my car, I'll show you the way." Ben said as he disappeared.
I gripped the steering wheel as hard as I could, not caring that my knuckles turned white. They were gonna pay for kidnapping Gwen. And if they hurt her, then they'll die.
Suspense. :D I would love to finish the fanfic this week, but if the weather permits I'll be busy the rest of the week, bt I'll finish it by Tuesday at the latest... Hopefully. :D R&R.
