Chapter 1: A familiar and unknown person

Hovering above the earth a giant structure was floating the structure is called as watch tower the base of operations for the heroes of the earth know as justice league a team of people having super powers and consist of aliens meta humans and normal humans with exceptional skills who took the responsibility to protect earth from any external and internal threats.

Now the founding members of the league comprising Superman, Batman, wonder woman, green lantern and martian man hunter and flash along with core memebers of the league having hawkman,hawkwoman Black cannary. At present they are discussing about expansion of the league and recruit some potential candidates as the threats are becoming larger and villans are becoming smart the need more man power, now they are discussing some candidates.

What about recruiting from the young league asked wonder woman also known as Diana Prince.

Don't you know they won't trust us due to some events in past thanks to someone said flash also known as Barry Allen. His words made her to pause.

Don't you think they are stretching it a little bit asked green lantern.

Ofcourse they are but we can't force them said Superman.

Don't bother about them they are dealing with their villains said Batman.

And you are the cause of it said flash which caused him to earn a bat glare but he didn't care do you think you are in a position to silence with your glare asked flash.

Flash its been a long time do you think it is necessary to bring that matter asked Superman.

Only if you knew the look wally gives me said flash.

We don't know it's also a surprise for us i can't understand why they don't trust all of us asked wonder woman.

May be they need some time and rather than worrying about the trust issues let's discuss about the recruitment said martian man hunter also know as Jonn.

What about Kara Clark do you think she is ready to join the league asked man hunter.

She is a bit cocky sometimes but I think she is ready said Superman.

Then a holographic display appeared middle of the table and displayed the potential recruit candidates do you think they will accept our offer asked flash.

Don't know but we need to talk with them said Superman.

While they are discussing about recruits suddenly a blue portal opened in the room before they could react a person was spitted from it and it completely disappeared.

J'onn check the portal said Batman.

Superman went to see the person the person is at age between 25 to 30 he was battered and bruised all over the body his clothes were tattered and his right eye was bloodied superman scanned his body with x-ray To check him he has broken bones and he was alive then flash and wonder woman approached him and superman thought he had seen him somewhere.

He was cut from his musing by wonder woman Clark is he okay.

Yes he is alive but I think I saw him somewhere but I can't remember he looks familiar said Superman.

Really the great super man forget about the people he met wonderful said flash then he noticed a device on his left hand and it looks familiar it is like a wrist watch with white straps and square dial and with a green hour glass symbol on it, memories hit flash like a thunder and he immediately called ben, which was heard by all present in room.

Ben! what are you talking flash he left us said Superman.

No no look at his wrist said flash and superman recognised it immediately and took him into his hands and said prepare medical ward immediately.

In the medical ward ben was washed from his blood marks and IV was connected to him.

I can't believe that he is ben said Superman he left us five years ago and he was a teenager then now he is an adult said Superman.

Clark time works different for different dimensions it may be five years for us but for him may be 15 years said flash.

But he looks terrible i wonder what kind of enemy he is facing Said wonder woman.

Yeah may be j'onn could tell us by reading his mind said flash.

Did you forget what happened asked green lantern.

Hey it may be five years but for him more than five years so he won't mind said flash.

Or he may be not the ben we knew said Batman he may be a another version.

Now you are talking i thought you are making contingencies again mocked flash.

May be we should check atleast we need to know who made him like that said wonder woman.

J'onn can you check his memories asked flash.

Are you sure asked manhunter.

Yes said flash.

Then his eyes glowed red and told you are right Batman he is not the ben we knew he is different one.

What was different about him asked green lantern.

He received the Omnitrix when he is ten years and started fighting criminals at age of ten he saved the entire universe from extinction when Omnitrix went to self destrct mode he convinced the creator that he should learn to see good in people and not be a selfish jerk. And he saved an entire race from extinction at age 15 which made him known across the universe he become the hero of the universe.

Well I knew ben has potential to be a great hero when he was adult but he became one at 15 may be if he didn't come to our universe he may become one said flash.

He defeated his arch enemy vilgax and he got the ultimatrix He saved again the entire universe from a person known as aggregor who tried to attain the ultimate power and he saved his universe from a interdimesional God named dagon.

Did you say dagon asked wonder woman.

Yes said manhunter.

Incredible Said wonder woman.

Why asked flash do you know about him asked flash.

I heard about him when I was a little child that he conquered many dimensions and enslaved them.

J'onn continued and he later received the original Omnitrix after the creator said the ultimatrix isn't worthy of him he got the Omnitrix , and he recreated his entire universe due to a ancient weapon activated and he saved the entire universe by allowing the universe to create by stopping an evil alien who tried to make the universe in his image and after a year he got the master control and he bettered himself and he became ben 10,000 and called the Hero of heroes in his universe and the legendary ben Tennyson the saviour of the universe by the beings in his universe.

Hero of heroes and savior of the universe well by considering the feats he did I agree that he is worthy to be called hero of heroes and i don't know if any one achieve his title said flash.

Even I agree to that said Superman.

Yes if we tried harder to convince ben said wonder woman.

Diana now we can't do anything about it said green lantern but I am proud to know ben.

But we don't know how he was battered and bruised Said cannary.

Well he is in a serious and dangerous fight with all his villans and they attacked him so suddenly he had a great difficulty to fight them then he was about to finished he was sent here ended manhunter.

So we need to wait for him to wake up said Superman.

Wait i think he has an alien with regeneration ability if we transformed him he can get healed quick said flash.

I don't recommend it flash he said the Omnitrix has fail safe so any one couldnt take it said Batman.

We will atleast try said flash.

Then he tried to activate the Omnitrix but it didn't activated does it broked said flash and he tried again but a shock from Omnitrix zapped and thrown him.

So we have to wait until he wakes up said batman.

Then superman gave hand to flash to stand.

A week later

It's been a week ben was thrown into this dimension he recovered quick but he didn't woke up.

Ben was fighting vilgax his long time enemy since he got the Omnitrix ben defeated him all the times he fighted him but this time he is too strong like he prepared all his life to defeat him no matter which alien ben is using he is able to with stand it. All this started when all the enemies ben faced in the years attacked him and his friends his friends were taking care of others ben was fighting vilgax along with kai his wife.

Man I wish I had ultimatrix now said ben.

Well we can't do anything about that now fight said kai.

Kai went to attack vilgax with Excalibur she made a small bruise on him which she shocked because it's one of the most powerful sword.

So you think you can damage with that little sword asked vilgax then he swatted her away ben came to attack her as humongasaur in his full height but vilgax was strong enough to beat it he punched ben on his face and he was bleeding from his nose then throwed him away again ben got up and ran towards vilgax and they both got into a brawl vilgax was overwhelming ben he couldnt do anything, then ben transformed in to atomix then punched vilgax he was flown away and ben created a nuclear ball and throwed it at vilgax to which he was badly wounded but vilagx didn't yeild and continued to fight when ben was about to give final punch to vilgax the Omnitrix times out ben fell down vilgax was laughing like a mad man atlast the universe is in my side now nobody could save you vilgax kicked ben with his leg, and he began to torcher ben for all the humiliation ben gave him.

Kai woke up from the attack vilgax gave her she gained her bearings and saw ben was being tourchered by vilgax.

At last ben Tennyson your death is in my hands first I will kill you and your family and your wife the last said vilgax.

I thought you would kill me last after killing my family said ben.

If it were a few years ago i would do as you said but after all thinking it's the best as it won't give you any chance to recover said vilgax.

Ben knew the Omnitrix will save him but never he tried it and now it is out of charge he doesn't know if it works so ben waited for inevitable ben closed his eyes waiting for his death but nothing happened he felt some liquid dropped on him when he opened his eyes it was a gruel sight infront of him standing infront of him was his wife Kai even they didn't get along when they are teenagers they loved each other and likes getting on each other nerves but they matured in their behaviour and a year ago they were married, he couldnt believe what he is seeing vilgax sword has piercing through kais abdomen and her Excalibur was stabbed near vilgax heart ben was still thinking he was dreaming but he is wrong it's was real his wife was stabbed and he didn't knew what to do vilgax throwed her away ben was furious and filled with rage he activated the Omnitrix and didn't look what alien he selected he transformed into atomix he punched vilgax across his face and he went into sky with full force he waited for him to come back vilgax landed with full force they both ran towards each other to punch each other but before he could attack vilgax he disappeared ben wondered what happened soon eon was standing infront of him.

Eon! So you are the one behind all this said ben.

Yes I see he did a great job to finish if it isn't for your wife you would have died she didn't think about herself and took the strike lovely said eon.

Eon! Ben roared to attack him.

I am getting rid of you said eon he fired a time ray at him but a portal opened and being to suck all that were in room eon escaped but immediately the force increased ben using the strength of atomix tried to hold himself but he was timed out due to lack of strength and wounds he was suck into the portal.

Then ben suddenly woke up from the medical facility he was kept.

He noticed he is in a different place his torso was with bandaid and there is an IV drip to his hand he thought he is in plumber medical facilities, his thoughts were interrupted when the doors of his room opened he saw some people in wired and colour full dresses entered the room.

Who are you? asked ben.

We are the justice league said superman.

Where am I asked asked ben.

You are on the watchtower ben said flash.

Hmm! But he reacted quickly how do you know my name he asked because there is no justice league in his universe.

They were all tensed they don't know how would he react.

I am asking how to do know my name did you read my mind asked ben.

Yes we read your mind to find who are you we are sorry said superman.

Then ben understand what they meant.

Don't you know its very rude to read others mind without their permission and you probably read all my memories said ben.

We are sorry said superman.

Even if we didn't read your mind we know your name said batman.

Ben saw a man dressed like a bat talking to him.

Who are you dressed like a bat are you some stage artist who performs stage shows about beings having superpowers asked ben.

Flash laughed at that then all in the room was looking at him including ben, sorry no body didn't talk to batman like that said flash.

Didn't you heard he meant all of us said wonder woman.

No we are justice league a group of individuals who protects earth from threats said batman.

Okay what do you mean you know my name even if you didn't read my mind asked ben.

Then a blue portal opened in the medical ward ben knew who its was the league also have same doubts but remained silent.

Then a man wearing a white lab coat stepped from the portal.

Paradox ben called, the league was relieved that it was paradox they knew him due to ben.

Hello ben it took me a lot of time to find you said paradox.

Okay what happened where am I how did they know me even if they didn't need to read my mind and what happened at home asked ben.

You are in a different dimension where there is no plumber or any beings related to our universe said paradox.

Okay we will discuss about it later we should really go eon came back we need to stop him.

I am afraid ben you cant enter into your dimension for the time being.

Why?

A dimensional rift has occurred so you cant go even if you went you will be thrown into another one said paradox.

So I am stuck here said ben but how these people knows my name asked ben.

that's a different story ben one your versions clone came here said paradox.

How asked ben.

A eleven year version of you while fighting vilgax changed into splixon and one of the clone stuck in null void due to azmuth fail safe the omnitrix created a clone and stuck in null void for five years and he came to this dimensions as there should be only one omnitirx said paradox.

What happened to me here asked ben.

That's a story for them to tell said paradox pointing at them.

Then ben remembered vilgax sword pierced through kai.

Wait what happened to kai she was wounded by protecting me asked ben with fear.

Then paradox expression became saddened ben noticed it and feared the worst.

I am sorry ben she didn't make it said paradox in a low voice.

Ben was frozen his wife was dead he didn't know what to do.

You know this will happened and you didn't tried to save her asked ben with anger.

You know ben I cant do anything as I am not allowed to interfere said paradox.

Take me back vilgax is going to pay said ben with a tone that sent chills to the league.

But you cant come said paradox.

Then ben thought some thing paradox knew what he was thinking.

You know you cant use them for a year said paradox.

Ben understand what he said due to ben not helping bellicus and serena they decide to ban ben from using alien x after a lot of debate they banned him from using it for six years and a year was left.

Ben stood on his feet and asked and how are others?

They are fine but there is one more thing about kai.

What?

She is carrying your child said paradox in a sad tone.

Ben couldn't believe what he heard he fell down unable to control him self he cired he couldn't control his tears all the league was saddened to hear what happened they couldn't do any thing but watched him crying, flash clutched his fist as he couldn't do any thing, then ben stopped crying and and asked paradox how long do I need to stay.

Don't know but I will try to make it quick eon went to past to kill your younger self if he succeed then your dimension will be gone said paradox.

Then take me there I need to stop eon.

No ben you cant go said paradox.

But my younger self needs help said ben.

Are you forgetting that he is you and you are him don't worry he is capable after all he is destined to be the legendary ben Tennyson.

That will happen if he survives said ben.

Don't worry ben he can said paradox.

So I need to stay here asked ben.

Yes ben you need to be yourself or if they willing to help accept it then he turned toward them I hope you wont do the same mistake he said to the league and you don't need to work on any thing he will leave after some time he said to batman knowing what he has done.

Don't worry we will help him if he accepts it said superman.

wait what happened to the other asked flash.

only time will tell said paradox.

Well then I am leaving take care ben said paradox and he left.

Ben was silent still contemplating what happened to kai and his unborn child and thinking why did she joined the fight if she was pregnant thinking ben then he understand he is not in his dimension all he can do is mourn for her and wait to vilgax to pay, then he turned toward s the league.

So what happened to the other me asked ben.

They didn't know what to say then flash said don't worry we are not your enemies said flash.

I don't think by what paradox said to the batguy some thing bad happened so I want to know then I will decide what to do said ben.

What do you mean asked superman.

You said you protect earth from threats so I need to know said ben.
