This was a quick update. I was just too happy with the reviews so I uploaded it sooner than I promised. :P

I don't actually have much more to say so on with the fanfic!

Lost And Found ch2

Interrogation

Gwen watched as she saw Ben in the little white room. He sat in his chair and stared blankly at the window which he could not see through. This window was one sided, on their side they could see Ben, but on Ben's side all he could see was a mirror. Gwen grabbed hold of Kevin's hand as they asked her cousin a range of questions, all of which he did not answer.

Ben's parents were there as well, they both looked grim as they watched their son in a state such as this. Not talking and not even looking at them.

He was such a happy person before all of this happened. He used to do choirs, make jokes, he laughed and now he didn't even speak. He was mute and no one could even begin to question why. He wouldn't answer any questions, he didn't want to. Although Ben had changed so much he hadn't changed how stubborn he was.

Still, he was so cheerful, happy, the smile he always wore was now crumbled and broken, but no one knew why.

They remembered him the night that he'd vanished. His smile as he walked out and waved his arm calling, "Be back soon!" but he never came back. Not until now.

"Why won't you talk to us Ben?" a doctor asked as he lifted the pen from his notepad. Ben didn't even look at the three and just stared at the mirror. They were in a white room, an interrogation room that was normally used for villains, but Ben was in that day. He had been put in there after the doctor had ran another test on him and found that Ben definitely could think for himself, but what shocked him was that Ben refused to talk even to his friends and family. He was mute to everyone and never looked a person in the eyes. This bothered the three doctors that were sitting on the other side of the table. They were highly trained though and all were going to make him talk to them.

"Are you scared?" the doctor in the middle asked. Ben didn't answer and just continued to stare at the mirror, knowing that people were watching them. The doctor turned in his head and looked at the mirror. He pointed at the mirror with his pen. "Your family and friends are behind there," he announced. Ben just narrowed his eyes to the table and began to flick the pen that was sitting in front of him. He did nothing else but stare at the pen and the doctor sighed.

"What is the last thing you remember?" he asked. Ben stopped fiddling with the pen and slammed it down on the table, this caused the doctors to jump in fright. Ben pulled his legs up on the chair and hugged his knees as he stared at the white paper on the table. The doctors frowned and then sighed. "Ben, is there anyone you would feel more comfortable talking to?" one asked as the other two began to scribble on their own notepads.

Ben didn't look at them and stared at the paper. Slowly he reached his hand out and picked up the pen. The doctors gasped as they watched Ben scribble on the piece of paper and once he was done he just leaned back and looked at the wall. The doctor in the middle took the piece of paper from Ben and stared down to it. His eyes widened and he gave the paper to the other two.

"Bring them in," he demanded.

It was a normal day for Rook. He came into work and did what he had to, survive. He was leaving today. On another mission to outer space. This one was most important and he had to be there. He was zipping up his vest when he heard a noise from behind him. As he turned he saw a number of soldiers like him were pushing back some other men in lab coats. "Hey man you're not allowed this far we're about to take off!" one of the soldiers said as the other man tried to push passed.

"Mr Blonko!" he yelled and waved his arm in the air, finally pushing passed the men. He ran towards Rook and panted once he was there. "I need you to come with me to the interrogation room affective immediately," he announced with a smile. Rook raised his hand to the plumbers behind the man who were trying to grab hold of him. They stopped when they saw Rook do this.

Rook looked down to the man with a frown and shook his head, "I do apologise but I am about to leave on a three month miss-"

"Mr Blonko this is much more important than that, we need you now," he said sternly. Rook looked at the soldiers who were beginning to fill the large ship he was to take off in. Rook sighed and shook his head. He lifted his hand to his forehead and rubbed his right temple. "Alright," he whispered.

"Great! Come with me!" the man said and took Rook from the crowd. Rook watched as the ship he was meant to board grew smaller and smaller as he walked away from it. He followed the much shorter man to the interrogation rooms inside plumber HQ and down into the lower unit that was underground. They had to catch an elevator to get down there and Rook watched as all the people on each floor worked and walked around. It was fascinating to see how many people were there. Finally they had made it to the lower level and Rook followed the man to the end room.

Once they walked inside Rook saw Ben's family and friends. Everyone in the room looked very sad to see him, Ben's parents looked shocked, like they'd never seen an alien before and Kevin just glared.

He frowned and looked down to the small scientist, "Why am I here?" he asked as he looked to the short man.

The man gave Rook a piece of paper, "Because he wanted to talk with you and you alone," he said. Rook looked down to the paper and written in the centre said, 'Rook blonko.'

Rook frowned, "Why me?" he asked with a deep frown.

The man shrugged, "I do not know why, but he requested to speak with you," he said. "And that is why we need you to talk to him," he said as two scientists from behind him undid his vest. Rook turned around and swiped their hands away. "Hey!" he called as they pulled the vest from him. Underneath he wore his normal proto-tech armour. He glared at the two behind him and crossed his arms. "We want you to go in and ask him these questions," the man said as he placed a piece of paper in Rook's hands. Rook frowned down to the page and looked back to the man.

"Why would he answer these questions if I asked them?" he shook his head side to side.

"We need to know the answers and you apparently strike some sort of security in him," the doctor said with a frown. "Now go in," he said as he softly pushed Rook into the other room. Rook frowned at the door as it was shut in his face and turned around to meet the sight of Ben sitting down at the table. Rook sighed and pulled out a chair for himself.

"Hello Ben," he said. Ben didn't look at him and stared at the ground. Rook frowned and looked down to the paper. He rolled his eyes and placed it on the table in front of him. "How are you?" he asked.

"Why isn't he asking the questions we put down on the paper?!" the scientists all began to squabble behind the glass.

"He will, give him time," another said.

Ben didn't answer the question he'd been asked and Rook frowned. Ben didn't even look at him, this meant that he probably didn't want Rook there. He growled to himself, he was pulled out of a mission for this?! He silenced that thought. It was cruel of him to think such a thing. He looked back at Ben and sighed, "You don't want to talk to me do you?" he asked. When Ben didn't respond Rook looked at the paper on the table and picked it up. He looked down to the questions and grabbed both ends. He tore the paper in half and dropped it on the floor. Ben looked up when he did this and watched the torn paper fall to the ground. Rook sighed, "I was not able to say this before, but thank you."

Ben continued to stare at the ground and Rook frowned. He stood from his seat after a long pause and decided that it was time to leave. Before he could walk out however he heard Ben speak.

"You're welcome," Ben whispered. Rook turned around to stare at Ben and saw that Ben was looking at him. "You're not like the other plumbers." Rook tilted his head to the side and came back to the table. He sat down, "How am I different?" he asked.

Ben blinked his eyes shut for a few seconds, "You just seem different," he said, "You don't ask me too many questions and you don't even know me, they told me you didn't even know who I was until after you rescued me, so why did you even care?"

Rook frowned at this last sentence and shrugged, "What kind of question is that? I would help anyone in need if I was able."

Ben looked up at Rook and smiled slightly. "How's your neck?" Ben murmured. Rook's eyes widened for a moment and he put his fingers to his scares. He rubbed it with a light smile, "Fine."

Ben looked at Rook with a frown and leaned over the table, "Can I tell you something?" he asked.

Rook's eyes went wide for a second and then he shrugged, "Of course."

Ben leaned in close and stopped once he was next to Rook's ear. "They know I'm here," he whispered so that only Rook could hear. Rook blinked at Ben once he pulled away and leaned back in his chair. "Who?" Rook asked. Ben shook his head and put his index finger over his lips.

Rook frowned and looked down for a moment. "Ben, you-" before Rook could continue the scientists came walking in the room.

"Rook Blonko may we speak with you for a moment?" the short one asked.

Rook nodded, "Yes." He stood and walked out of the room, while he did this he saw Ben shaking his head and pulling his face down to his knees, his hands gripping at his hair. Once they were out and back in the room filled with family Rook asked, "What is it?"

"You were meant to ask him the questions we wrote down!" the scientist roared. Rook glared down to him.

"You mean ask him what it was like? I don't want him to relive what ever he went through."

"But we needed to know those things!" the scientist shouted with his arms in the air.

"If Ben wanted to then he would answer those questions, he did not want to answer thoze questions when you asked them, so why would he answer them if I did?" Rook crossed his arms.

"And now I have missed my flight to Vilgaxia, all in the name of asking Benjamin Tennyson some disturbing questions because he doesn't feel comfortable around any of you," he growled as he stared down to the scientist.

"Hey!" a voice shouted from behind Rook. When Rook turned around he was met with the sight of Kevin's fist huddling towards him. He dodged it thankfully and grabbed hold of Kevin's arm. "What are you doing?!" he shouted as Kevin snarled at him.

"Ben's just trying to get through this and all you're doing is making things worse! If you hadn't of come around then-"

"Ben wouldn't be here now," Rook interrupted and glared at Kevin to match the one he was receiving. Kevin pulled out of Rook's hold and grunted at him.

"Asshole," Kevin muttered as he turned away. Rook glared at him, but knew that Kevin really didn't mean him harm, he was just scared for Ben and so Rook didn't hate him for that.

For the next few days Rook had been called in to ask Ben some more questions and Ben had been willing to answer as long as the questions were ones that didn't harm him. Rook liked that Ben was opening up to him, but it still bothered him that Ben wouldn't talk to his family.

One day, Rook had requested that they bring Gwen into the interrogation room with him. She stood in the corner, not once taking her eyes off of Ben. He didn't look at her and just stared at Rook. Rook placed his hand over Ben's. "Ben, I want you to meet someone that has missed you for a long time," he whispered. Ben frowned and looked worried for a moment before Rook pointed Gwen out. "Ben, this is Gwen, your cousin, do you remember?" he asked. Ben looked down for a moment and bit his lip. "It is alright Ben," Rook whispered.

Ben looked up and nodded, "Yes, I remember her." Ben looked up and over to Gwen. Gwen almost gasped when his eyes met hers for the first time he'd been back in over a year. "Would you like to talk to her?" Rook asked. Ben looked down to the table and watched as Rook's thumb ran over his knuckles.

"Yes."

Rook turned around in his seat and signaled for Gwen to come towards them. "Hello Ben," Gwen said. Ben looked up at Gwen and smiled a little. Gwen lent over and wrapped her arms around Ben. She began to cry into his shoulder. "I missed you," she sobbed weakly into his shirt. Ben wrapped his arms back around Gwen, "I missed you too Gwen," he whispered back as tears filled his eyes as well.

Rook could make Ben talk to his family now, but he would only ever talk to them if Rook was there. This confused Rook, but he never asked about it fearing that he'd somehow anger Ben or make him stop talking to anyone including him.

It was nice though, that Rook could talk to Ben. The way that Rook looked over Ben reminded him a lot about his little brother. Young one, who had not been named, but was his only brother. He would be excited to know that Rook was on Earth with Ben Ten, his roll model. Though, Rook was not to tell anyone that Ben was back. No one was to say a word to the public. Everyone thought Ben Tennyson had died over a year ago and they were to believe that for longer, not until Ben was fully healed would they tell the pubic, but now that Ben is like this there is no chance of them finding out at this moment in time.

It was the type of relationship that Rook had with his younger brother. He'd always been there for his brother and was ready to do the same for Ben even if he barely knew Ben personally. Though, he had learnt a lot about Ben during their 'Get togethers.'

Rook had noticed a change in attitude of the people around him. Normally when he walked into plumber HQ no one paid him any attention, now that he was helping Ben ten everyone wanted to know him. It was strange and although he was meeting knew people Rook couldn't stand all the attention. It got to the point that he wouldn't even say good morning to them as he walked by. He knew what they wanted and he was not going to bring people into the interrogation room just so they could lay their eyes on Ben ten after a long year of missing Ben and working harder than usual. He grunted as he walked in that morning. As usual girls would approach him and try to flirt their way into meeting Ben. He just said hello and walked passed them, they would have followed if Rook hadn't barked at them yesterday for doing so.

Rook was a plumber and being as up tight as him you were always in attack mode, nothing made him more angry than when he was being stalked, especially by some girls who should be doing their work. He made it through the crowd of plumbers quickly, some people stopping to greet him, but never did he stop walking, just greeted them as he walked passed.

Rook sighed as he made it to his work station and began to look at the details on Ben's founding. He couldn't find any record of Ben going missing, but as he imagined that would have been deleted thanks to Ben's grandfather wanting his grandson to be okay and never really believing he had gone anywhere. It was a strange type of therapy, but Rook could understand it either way. He understood that any file about Ben would have been hidden after he went missing and so he was no closer to finding out what happened to him.

Rook stared confusedly at the screen when it began to fuzz with static. He typed on the keyboard, but the static continued. He frowned to himself and debated whether or not the computer he was using was in need of repairs, but then threw the theory when the computers next to him both turned themselves on and did the same thing. He stared at them, wondering exactly what was going on and why. Just as he began to add two and two he heard a loud bang and the ground shook. The screen on the computer went into stand-by-mode then shut down. He knew it.

He raced out of the room and saw that plumbers everywhere were calming down and some of the females were still screaming. He ran passed the other plumbers and into the elevator. He wasn't sure if the elevator would still work, but it moved anyway. Once he was down in the bottom floor he ran out. Rook practically smashed down the door to the interrogation room and saw Ben cradling himself in the corner with doctors all around him. The floor was covered in glass as the mirror had been shattered and Ben was crying.

Rook's anger broke the second he saw this and he grabbed the closest to him. This one was the shortest and gave a squeak when Rook grabbed him from behind and threw him into the wall. He stood in front of the scientists. "What did you do?!" he hissed as he barred his canines.

"We were just asking him some-"

"Never!" Rook shouted and came to stand next to Ben. He wrapped an arm around Ben and pulled him into his chest. "Never interrogate him without me!"

"We hadn't done anything that-"

"Get out!" Rook roared causing the three to jump to their feet and race out of the room as quickly as possible fearing another second in their was going to lose them their legs.

Rook glared at the door they left through and looked down to Ben. "It's okay Ben, they're gone now."

Ben sobbed into Rook's chest and heaved for air. Rook ran his fingers through Ben's hair and shushed him. "Calm down Ben, what happened?" he asked.

Ben sniffled and pressed his face to Rook's chest, "I got angry," he whispered. Rook frowned and ran his fingers over Ben's cheek.

"What did they do to make you so angry?" he asked. Ben spluttered for a moment and then shivered as he spoke.

"They just asked me a lot of questions and I-I didn't want to answer them."

Rook held Ben closer to his chest. "That is not your fault Ben, do not be sad."

"I-I don't want to hurt people!" Ben sobbed and wrapped his arms tightly around Rook's waist, muffling his cries in Rook's strong chest. Rook looked down at Ben with a confused look on his normally calm face, "You won't."

"I-If I hurt people then they'll hurt me," Ben shuttered as if remembering something horrid. Rook growled slightly at that last sentence and Ben squeaked thinking that Rook may have been angry at him.

"No one will hurt you Ben," Rook said. Ben looked up at him for a moment, tears streaming down his face. "I will not let them hurt you."

Ben pressed his face back to Rook's chest and closed his eyes. "Thank you," he murmured.

"Can you tell us what happened when you were with them?" the scientist asked Ben. Ben sat in the chair across from him. He frowned at the scientist and grabbed the pencil in front of him. He wrote down on the piece of paper and slid it across the table to the man. He picked up the paper and looked down at it. It said, 'Where is Rook?' the scientist sighed.

"He will not be joining us today," he announced. Ben's eyes widened and then he turned away from the scientists, not wanting to talk to any of them. "Ben, we want to ask you a range of questions," the scientists said, "Will you answer them?"

Ben didn't look at them and just crossed his arms as he had a staring match with the wall.

"Did they hurt you?" the scientist asked. Ben didn't answer.

"Are you afraid of what will happen if you tell us?" still there was no reply.

"Did Dr Psychobos ever experiment on you?" Ben's eyes widened and he looked at the scientist. "Did he?" the man asked with a frown.

Ben looked away and squinted his eyes shut, "I-I don't want to be here any more!" he shook his head.

"Ben, please answer the question."

"I don't want to!" Ben shouted and stood from his chair. He turned away from the scientists and crossed his arms.

"Ben, we can't help you unless you tell us what happened while you were inside of that facility," the scientist began.

Ben spun around, his eyes glowing white and screamed in a voice unlike his own, "I said I don't want to!" Once he said these words the mirror from behind the scientists shattered and all three were blown back by a large wave of purple energy that blasted from Ben. They all fell back and hit the wall, joining the shattered glass on the ground. Ben covered his mouth with both hands as his eyes returned to their normal colour. "I-I'm so sorry!" he shouted and stepped back from them.

The scientists slowly made it to their feet and once their eyes were on Ben he fell to the ground. Ben crawled backwards from them and pulled his head into his knees. "Don't hurt me! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'll never do it again!" Ben began to sob.

"Ben Tennyson what was-" the scientist was silenced by the door smashing open and Rook running through.

"What did you do?!" Rook roared.

"We were just asking-" Max paused the tape and looked around the room to see everyone's shocked faces.

"I don't know what happened to Ben while he was in there, but something happened," Max stated.

"But what happened to him? He's been captured a whole bunch of times by a whole bunch of different people, but he's never reacted this way before," Gwen stopped herself for a moment and looked down.

"So what do we do? Ben's obviously not going to answer any questions now," Kevin shrugged as he held onto Gwen's hand tightly.

"And he can't even control what he does, that stuff can't exactly be taught-not by me anyway and I am definitely not calling Grandma about this, so how do we stop Ben from hurting people?" Gwen sighed, "So... what do we do?"

"How do we control him?"

"Easy," Max said, "We get Rook."

Once again, expect late updates. This one was early because I went "I'm in a good mood there-fore I will make everyone happy!" sort of thing. I got my hair died blue and purple so I had was really happy that I was even aloud to do it-Getting a bit off subject here- Prepare for some more angst and random turn of events that I somehow find pretty predictable because I watch a lot of movies.

Until next time my friends :3
