Authors Notes
So this is my own story in the series . It takes place after the Frogs of War arc. This will be a different take on events as I wanted to change a few things that happened, especially giving Ben actual development. This has been on my mind for a long time and I finally found the time to write it down. Hope you all enjoy!!!
Future me. This is a modified version of Chapter 1.
Chapter 1: An Un-ice-pected Surprise
Bellwood
Mid-day
12 PM
The sun was shining upon the town, with the citizens going about their day. Through the streets, drove an orange box truck with a logo that said "Max's Plumbing" on the box. In the passenger seat sat Ben Tennyson, a young man with green eyes and brown hair. He wore a black shirt with green accents with a 10 on the front. He wore brown pants with green and white shoes. On his wrist, he wore a device that looked like a white watch. It had a black face with green accents in the shape of an hourglass.
Next to him in the driver's seat was his Revonnahgander partner, Rook Blonko. He was a feline alien with lavender fur. He wore blue and black Proto-Tech armor with his trusty, one of a kind Proto-Tech tool on his back. These two were an unstoppable duo as they have worked together for a while now.
Ben sighed as he looked out the window.
Rook looked over. "I sense something is the matter, Ben."
Ben shook his head. "No. Nothings wrong. Things have just been quiet since the Incurseans left. Now that Attea is in charge." He replied as he sat up.
Rook nodded. "Isn't that a good thing?" He asked continuing to drive.
"It is but I've been itching to kick some butt for the past week."
Then, as if on cue, an explosion happened. From the hole in the wall of the building, robbers came from it.
Ben smirked. "That's what I'm talking about." He touched the Omnitrix, turning the dial. He pressed the dial, becoming enveloped in a green flash. In his place was an alien that was green, almost like a plant. He had an orange and red head that looked like a flame and he had stumpy feet.
"Swampfire? I can work with this." He said in a nasally voice. He threw seeds from his armpits that grew into vines, stopping one of the robbers.
Rook hopped out of the truck, arming his Proto-Tool and firing a net at another one of the robbers.
"Nice shot, but you can't beat this." Ben said, throwing a flame at the third robber, but it missed, blowing up the getaway car and sending the third robber flying backwards.
Swampfire's eyes widened. "Whoa…not what I was trying to do but it worked out."
"Perhaps it is best if you check the surroundings next time." Rook said.
Swampfire scoffed. "I knew there was no one there."
There was a 4th robber trying to run away, but was stopped by Rook's Proto-Tool grappling arm.
At that moment, Swampfire was enveloped by the green light and turned to Ben. "Well…that's that." He smiled to himself.
Rook tied up the bad guys and said. "I hope you got the..butt kicking you were looking for."
Ben shrugged. "It'll do for now." He said, clearly not satisfied but more would come later.
The two left and went to Mr. Smoothies. They sat at a table as Ben sucked down his grape smoothie.
Rook didn't share the same enthusiasm for the beverage as Ben did. He thought they were alright but not as great as Ben thought.
Ben sighed. "Hopefully there will be some more excitement soon. I need some action."
"Perhaps you should enjoy this free time you have. You rarely get it." Rook reminded him.
As much as Ben hated to admit it, Rook was right. He never had downtime as the world was always under attack. Perhaps for once…he could relax…
But it would not last. The Omnitrix comm went off. Ben sighed and answered. "Yes, Grandpa?"
A voice came through. "Ben, you might want to get down here. There's a guest for you. And it's… a very special one."
Ben looked at Rook, shrugging and the two of them left.
They arrived at a shop that read Max's Plumbing and took the secret elevator down. Inside the base were other Plumber agents doing their normal jobs. Mission reports, training, that sort of thing.
The two of them walked up to the command center. There stood a man in a red Hawaiian shirt, white pants and brown shoes. He had grey hair and was reading a data pad. This was Ben's grandfather, Max Tennyson, one of the greatest Plumbers on record.
He looked up. "Ben, glad you could make it." He said as he put the pad down. Ben nodded. "Sounded urgent over the comms." Ben replied.
"Who's our mystery guest?"
Max nodded and gestured for Ben and Rook to follow him to the medical wing. "You're going to want to see this, Ben."
And there was a sight Ben never thought he would see.
Sitting in a chair, was a little girl. She had blue hair with a brown streak in it. Beautiful green eyes. She had normal skin with blue blemishes on her body. She was very small and her eyes were like Big Chills except not as huge and alien-like. She looked up at Ben with curiosity. She looked just like him. She looked about 5 years old biologically, but she was only 2 or so. She was wearing a big oversized Hawaiian shirt Max gave to her. She was also eating a wrench she found lying around, since the species eats metal.
Ben was taken aback and nearly passed out from shock.
Max and Rook caught him.
Ben said in shock. "I…I'm a father…"
The child looked up at him. "Father….I go?" She said with sadness in her voice, those little eyes tearing up.
Ben knew exactly which one this was. He approached the child and knelt down, pulling her into a hug. "No...never again…I'm so sorry I made you go.." He teared up. "You're home now sweetie…"
The little girl hugged her father, clinging to him tightly.
Rook watched from behind Max. This was astonishing. He heard the story of Ben having the kids but he didn't believe it.
Max smiled at the sight. His grandson becoming a father was something he didn't expect but it was happening, even if it was weird circumstances. He patted his grandsons back. "Congratulations, son...but we need to figure out what to do about your current living situation."
Ben nodded. "Looks like I have to get a job…drop out of school…but it'll be worth it." He smiled as he held his daughter.
Max held up his hand and shook his head. "There is no need for that. We will arrange for you to graduate early and get you a full time job with the Plumbers. That way you'll have your diploma and can provide for your child."
Ben turned to face Max. "Really?! I can still graduate??!!"
Max smiled and nodded. "Of course. You just have to pass the final exam and you'll graduate with the current class. Then we can fully induct you into the Plumbers. You're going to be alright, son." He patted Ben's shoulder. "Now..I suggest you head home to introduce your parents to your new addition. I'm sure you have a lot of explaining to do." He said before turning to face Rook.
"Come with me, Rook. I have something to discuss with you." Max said as he and Rook walked away, leaving Ben alone with his daughter.
Ben smiled softly. "Ready to go meet your grandparents?"
The little girl tilted her head. "What are those? What are grand- parents?"
Ben explained. "They're my parents. Basically what I am to you. They're going to love you so much." He said tickling her, causing the little girl to giggle.
Ben said. "You need a name..." He rubbed his chin as he began to think on what to call her.
Then it came to him…
Her name would be. "Evelynn Ruby Tennyson or Evie for short."
The little girl smiled at the name. "I'm Evie! Evie Ruby!! Evie Ruby Tennyson!!!"
He smiled and took her hand and the two walked towards the elevator, leaving. Evie had an adorable skip to her step. They eventually arrived at his vehicle.
As he strapped her into his car, he thought to himself. "How am I going to tell Mom and Dad?"
Authors Notes
And that is Chapter One of the fic. I've spent hours racking my brain on what to write but I think it's pretty good. I took inspiration for Evie from a fic called Alternate Alien, which had the kids name as Lumi. And Ben will have a love interest or love interests . About 6. Leave names of characters you want below to be in the fic. I'd love to hear feedback!!! Chapter 2 will be out soon!!
