When they had arrived home Max, Verdona, Ken and Gwen's parents awaited them at the plumber base on earth. Sandra and Carl waked out first, followed by the children, crying, running over to their grandparents. Max and Verdona saw that Levi was missing. Gwen, Ben, and Kevin came out last, Ben holding Levi with tears running down his face; both Gwen and Kevin had a hand on one of Ben's shoulders. Verdona's face fell, Ken rushing over to his sister as he took her into his arms as she cried. Kevin wrapped his arm around Ben's shoulder and brought him closer to his body. The teens made their way to Max and Verdona, Max began to cry and Verdona, if she was in her human form you would see tears on her face as well, instead you saw streaked of white energy flowing down her face. Ben approached Max and Verdona, the children crowding around them.

"Vilgax. He- He's in there. Just… Just take him…." Each paused was followed by a sniffle. "He…. He killed Levi" Ben brought Levi closer to his body and began sobbing; Kevin brought Ben into a hug, rubbing his back. Verdona went inside the ship taking out the prisoners and depositing them to the plumbers. The family made their way back to Bellwood, back to Ben's house.

Once home Ben laid Levi on the couch, he kneeled next to him; Kevin held Ben the entire time as Gwen tried to comfort the children. Max was on the phone, arranging a funeral as the rest of the family sat at the kitchen table all with glum faces.

"It's all my fault" Ben cried his face nuzzling deeper into Kevin's shirt. Kevin pulled Ben away looking into his toxic green eyes.

"Don't you dare say that! It wasn't you fault; it wasn't anyone's but Vilgax's. He's the one to blame not you." Kevin said sternly. Kevin brought Ben into an embrace, his own eyes starting to water. "Levi, he wouldn't want you to do this to yourself. He loved you. That's why he did what he did. He saved you, he saved his brothers and sisters, he saved us all Ben. I know that it hurts, but you have other kids that still need you Ben." Kevin whispered, he voice begging to get quieter, meeker. "Ben I need you." Ben almost didn't catch it, when Kevin had finished Ben had closed his eyes, crying himself to sleep.
