A/N: I know I've been lagging a little on these, but here's a new one. I really like writing for these guys. May make a few one-shots just of them. The kids are actually pretty cool if you put them in the right context and all that crap.

Disclaimer: don't own Ben 10. do own Eliza


Devlin pulled his pickup truck around to the front of the school.

"I'm serious. We could just drive this thing super fast and get there in no time flat!" Ken was arguing. "My dad says Kevin was late all the time. So what if Eliza misses the first few minutes? Big freaking deal."

"Yeah," muttered Devlin. He put the car in park and looked in the rearview to see nothing but smoke coming out of the tailpipe. "It is a big freaking deal since she could kick both of our butts around the universe and back without even lifting a finger! Do you really want that?"

That got the tanned boy to shut up.

"Exactly." A smirk twisted the sixteen-year-old's lips

Ken opened his mouth again. "You're sister hit the mother load for powers."

"Yup."

"She's got everything!"

"Yup."

"She can open portals and she can do all that Anodite stuff and she's got the electricity like your dad used to have and his new absorbing powers too!"

"Yup."

"And even luckier, she got your dad's freaking attitude! This is why we don't argue with her!"

"Yup." Devlin was getting sick of agreeing.

"I don't know how you ever put up with her." Ken shook his head and brushed his brown hair out of his eyes. He kept talking. "As a friend, she's awesome. As a person, she's pretty cool. As a teammate, yeah, I can put up with her. But as a sister, I'd have to kill myself." He sipped on the smoothie at hand.

"Then never come to my house unless it's entirely necessary for your life."

The younger's gaze flicked to the driver, who was drumming his fingers on the ruined brown steering wheel. "Is she that bad?"

"Nah," Devlin joked. "She can be when it's girl stuff, but anything with aliens involved and she'll be pushing me out the door without another thought on what I'm doing at the moment. Once, she tried to put my jacket on while I was writing a report and she accidentally deleted the whole thing."

Ken winced. "Yeah, Eli would do that," he said, referring to her by her favorite nickname.

Just then, a darker form caught Devlin's eye. He adjusted the rearview mirror to see a pale skinned girl with striking ebony hair racing for the car, barely trying to pull a jacket on at the same time. It wasn't working. As the wind snatched her coat, she twisted so the long streak of red on one side was visible and her green eyes glinted angrily. "Dev, give me a hand please!"

The driver grinned and opened his door. "Give me your stuff."

The girl reluctantly handed it over and her brother chucked it into the backseat, holding the door open for her. Eliza's eyes narrowed. "I'm not one of those sissy chicks, you know," she pointed out, climbing into the back.

Devlin slammed the door shut, watching Eliza wince when it nearly slammed on her fingers. He smiled evilly.

"So anything new before I head to soccer?" she asked, yanking off her shoes and throwing them on the truck's floor. "And by the way, you guys are lucky this thing is a four-door or else you'd be screwed."

"Why?" Ken asked. His electric green gaze shifted over his shoulder to see the girl struggling with her second shoe.

"Because then one of you wouldn't get a seat." The shoe she was working on finally came off, flying to hit the windshield and leaving a good-sized dent in it.

Devlin looked back over his shoulder.

The girl stared for a few seconds. "Either you or Dad are going to kill me and I have a terrible feeling it's not going to be you."

Ken only smiled. "I could always-"

"DON'T CALL BEN!" Eliza yelled. "He'll tell Dad and I'll get in trouble and then Devlin will cover for me for about the million bajillionth time and then I'll end up owing him like a thousand dollars in the future and I'm pretty sure we all know that I won't have that much!" Her green eyes had flared from normal to the size of dinner plates. "No one is telling anyone that I broke the windshield!"

"We could always say a bird fell…" the younger of the boys suggested. Ken grinned, feeling brilliant for the day. It wouldn't last long.

The driver had to point out the obvious. "It's dented from the inside, you idiot. What are you going to say? The bird got inside through a window and died, then gravity decided to change and go the opposite direction so it'd fly up and hit the glass?"

Eliza put a hand to her forehead. "You guys make this way too complicated. Ugh." She took a marker and drew a circle around it. Then below she wrote, 'Ken wuz here'.

"You are-" Ken started, but then shut up when his green eyes met Eliza's.

"No one says anything, got it?"

Devlin chuckled and put the car in drive. "Dad is going to kill you."

The dark haired girl slugged her brother's shoulder. Not too hard though. "Dev, he's going to slaughter me!"

"How many times have you broken Dev's car?" Ken asked, just for clarification.

"Twenty or thirty," the car's owner said, just as Eliza was choking out the word, "Three." She glared at him for a moment as he was looking back at her innocently. "I hate how much you're like Mom," the girl muttered. She pulled off her shirt to reveal a soccer jersey beneath it and a t-shirt under that.

The driver shrugged, pulling near one of the only grassy spaces for miles around. "We're here," he noted.

Eliza growled, "I noticed, you dumb-butt."

"Nice," Ken snickered only to get slugged like Devlin had been earlier. He rubbed his shoulder, not used to abuse from a girl.

She shrugged out of her black skinny jeans and straightened the tightly woven mesh shorts beneath them. "Pick me up after the game?" she asked her brother nicely as she reached down to slip her foot in a cleat. "Please?"

Devlin leaned back and put on a fake thoughtful face for a moment.

"Oh for the love of Mike," she muttered, hitting him yet again.

He laughed. "Yeah, yeah, we'll be here." He reached back and ruffled the girl's black hair with its streak of red. "Don't lose this time and no cheating."

Eliza looked up, putting on a fake stunned face. "How dare you accuse The Great Eliza of cheating!"

"Dad caught you," the driver told her.

"Aw man," she groaned. It was something she'd picked up from spending too much time over at Ken's with Ben. "I am sooooo dead now…"

"Join the club," Ken said, raising his smoothie for a toast only to have Eliza swat at his hand and mumble something about him being a moron.

She had laced up her shoe and looked out the window. "Okay, we're starting. See you guys in an hour!" The girl reached up, ruffled both their hair, then grabbed her bag and ran gracefully to the sidelines.

Ken stared after her. "Dev?"

Devlin rolled his eyes, expecting the worst as he usually had to.

"If she wasn't my second or third cousin or something like that, I would definitely date your sister."

"Jesus, Ken, there are things I do not need to know." Devlin revved the car engine unnecessarily, and honked the horn.

Eliza looked over, gave one last wave and smiled.

"Well, I'm serious," Ken continued. He cocked his head a little, looking at her more. "She's pretty hot."

"You are absolutely sick."

"I know you can't judge 'cause she is your sister and everything, but I mean, if she wasn't-"

The driver cut him off, glad that he did so. "Ken, I really wonder why I'm friends with you sometimes."

"You aren't," he laughed. He sipped his smoothie. "I think my dad got me addicted to these things, you know?"

A tiny pink portal opened and a hand came in to whack the back of Ken's brunette little head. Smoothie sprayed across the windshield. The hand disappeared inside the portal before it closed quietly.

Devlin's eyes cut to the window to see Eliza grinning wildly and pulling up her hair into a ponytail. She gave him a quick thumbs-up.

"On second thought, I still hate your sister," Ken said, looking at the windshield.

"Now you really did ruin the car," Devlin pointed out. "My dad is not going to be very happy with you."

Ken's eyes widened. "PLEASE DON'T TELL HIM!"


A/N: notice how none of them want to be in trouble with Kevin? Yeah. I wouldn't want to be in trouble with him either… A few things:

Did you like Eliza? She was insanely fun to write for!

Was Devlin good enough? He seemed nicer in the episode than everyone writes him as. I thought he'd be a softy like Gwen. Lol.

Ken…Ken… I mean, really? He's just like Ben all over again, but weirder and paired with Devlin and Eliza, I thought he wasn't as good as Ben, but still funny…

I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts on this one especially because I might turn it into a totally different series of one-shots or something. Or a future meets past thing. Idk. I wanna know what you thought of the characters (especially Eliza!) R&R please! Thankz!
