A/N: This was actually supposed to be different, but it turned out like this and I am totally happy with it.

"Seriously, Tennyson, watch the car!" hissed Kevin through gritted teeth before he redirected his rage from his younger friend to the leftover DNAliens that the Highbreeds had forgotten to take off Earth with them. There had been a whole hive of them hiding yet. Kevin had really grown to hate the little buggers. "That's the second time you've nearly smashed it in the past five minutes!"

"Trying," huffed Ben in his favorite form, the giant orange dinosaur-like creature that he had dubbed as Humungousaur. He shifted so that he wasn't about to fall right on top of the green and black striped vehicle. "It's not like a hive of these buzzards makes it easy."

"Focus," growled Gwen as another ball of DNAlien gunk splattered against her shield. She recoiled in disgust. The redhead couldn't wait to get rid of the last of these things. They were utterly hideous and gross beyond description. "I have karate in the morning and these guys aren't helping me get any beauty sleep."

A smirk crossed Kevin's features as his fist collided with the skull of a DNAlien. Or at least he hoped it was the skull if they even had any. "Not like you need it, Gwen," he commented lightly before leaping over the heads of the yellow-skinned creatures and pounding his fist into he ground. The rock went through something of a ripple and some of the grotesque monsters went flying into the air.

"Kevin, you're so sweet," she said, corners of her lips tugging up as a few of the nasty beings soared over her head. Then her emerald eyes turned serious and the mana at her hands swirled faster and turned a darker shade of pinkish violet. "Now really, let's finish this. I'm tired."

Ben nodded in his cousin's direction to signal that he had heard her. He let out a fierce, rumbling roar that seemed to shake the earth as well as the sky. Then he went on a rampage, stomping and smacking anything in his way. Aliens were beneath his feet and his hands smacked many of them aside. A few of them even smacked into some hard metal that-

"Really?" asked Kevin, voice clearly caught between annoyed and disbelieving. "You're using them to hit my car?" His tone got higher on the end as he stared at his beloved vehicle. His eyes pouted as his lower lip quivered lightly. Kevin's ears picked up the sound of someone approaching, and, without a second thought, he slammed his fist into the body of a DNAlien that had tried to sneak up on him. The creature crumpled to the ground. "Can't we leave the poor thing alone? It's already been blasted to bits three times this week!"

"Sorry, sorry," mumbled Ben, his eyes flitting to the car to check for dents. He was lucky. There were none. As a bonus, the paint job seemed to be intact still. So far, Kevin wasn't going to kill him. "Don't worry. I'll be careful."

"Mhm," said Kevin, tone betraying how much he believed that. "That's what you said the last three times." His obsidian eyes fired daggers in the direction of the Ultimatrix wearer. Then his feet slammed into the face of a DNAlien. "This time, I'm hopin' you mean it, Benji."

"I do!" Ben was upset Kevin had so little faith in him. His tail slapped a few of the misshapen monsters into the blackened sky lit only by the faint light of the glistening moon. Stars trailed through the dark night. The fight had been going on for long enough that even Ben was getting sick of it.

"Seriously?" asked the Tennyson girl as her eyes flitted to the two boys. "You guys are talking about the car? Still?" Another shield went up as the last one was covered in too much goop to see through. The Anodite let out a long sigh as the boys continued to talk.

"Sure, you do." Kevin's words dripped with sarcasm. He felt a clawed hand on his stone-covered skin; he spun, hand nailing the beast right in the face.

Ben growled. It was mostly directed to Kevin, but it freaked out enough of the DNAliens to either drop and beg for mercy or flee in terror, shrieks erupting from them.

When she deemed it was clear and once the boys had shut up, Gwen headed for the car, exhaustion finally possessing her tired body. The girl crashed in the passenger seat. She sank into the seat, finding the leather immensely comfortable after such a long day. Her eyes fluttered shut; her eyelids had felt so heavy. She could rest. For a few seconds at least...

It was about five minutes later when Kevin and Ben got in. Both slammed the doors behind them. "You weren't careful at all. Do you not understand how much this car is worth? The parts are over thirty years old!" came the dark teen's scolding voice. "It's insanely expensive to repair and find new parts for, Tennyson."

"I was being careful," defended Ben. "I was just focusing on ending it quickly for Gwen. She said she wanted to get home." His jade eyes flickered to his cousin who was curled up in the passenger seat, eyes shut and arms folded across her chest to keep herself warm. "Is she...?"

"She's got karate in the morning," breathed Kevin as he shoved the metal key into the ignition and let the engine rev up, purring like a well-muscled jungle cat. "She needed to sleep." He threw a gentle, loving gaze in her direction, unable to keep himself from thinking how adorable she looked. Kevin loved being able to see her eyes, but she looked too gorgeous when she was out cold.

"That doesn't mean-"

"Hush," whispered Kevin fiercely. His eyes threw darts in Ben's general direction. A bit of aggression bubbled in his veins and he had to grip the wheel a little tighter. The Osmosian's knuckles turned white. He didn't want anyone to disturb his red-haired beauty. "Let her sleep, Benji."

A/N: Ah, I like how it turned out. Review if you love how cute Gwevin is!
