Ben 10 Porn Story: She Cares Chapter 3
One word: WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! Okay, seriously- this chapter is probably gonna be super long, because a lot happens in it. I mean a LOT. Unless I decide to break it up, which I may. Anyway, here you go.

Julie was singing some rather abrasive pop song when I landed in a heap on the ground. I should have had her open the portal over our neighbor’s trampoline. Then again, maybe the pain was worth not having to search aimlessly for Kevin. Lucky break.
“Did it work?” she asked, failing to maintain her control over the projector.
“Don’t drop that!” I yelled, scaring her enough she nearly did drop it.
“Geez, Gwen, you don’t have to be soaaAAAH!”
I glanced toward the portal, and was not in the least bit surprised to see Kevin jumping through it angrily- this time, Julie had actually dropped the projector. “Hello to you, too.”
Julie shrieked again, and ran away.
My attention then turned to Kevin, who looked around himself, shrugged, and began to walk off. I frowned. “Where are you going?”
He didn’t turn around. “To find your stupid cousin. He owes me big time.”
Oh, crap.
“You can’t do that!” I protested. Not if he wanted my help anymore.
“Yeah? Who’s gonna stop me?” he questioned. Still walking off.
“Well, the Plumbers might, for one thing. That and you’re going the wrong way. But most of all, you’ll stop yourself.” I knew that his desire to be human again would override his instinct for revenge any day.
“How do you figure that?” His voice was laced with skepticism, and he hadn’t turned around, but at least he had stopped. That, at least, was a good sign. Hopefully Kevin could be cornered with logic.
“You want to be human again, don’t you? Then just think for a minute! It was your anger that got you into this mess. If you keep letting it control you, you’ll never get back to normal. Just… cool it!”
Silence. He whirled to glare at me. If looks could kill…
But then he just sighed. “Fine. What do you want me to do?”
Good. He was listening. “I told you I had a plan. Okay, not in so many words,” I amended as he opened his mouth to correct me, “but it was implied. I think I should be able to change you back with this.” I showed him the spell book. “Hold still.”
Kevin obliged, although he didn’t look happy about it. I flipped through the pages until I found the spell I needed. “Verwijder ailes!“
The ball of magic hit Kevin squarely in the shoulder, surged through his body. Then it focused on his wings- stinkfly’s special piece of Kevin’s mutant form. For a moment the light was so bright I couldn’t see him. Then it was over.
“Am I normal?” Kevin asked without opening his eyes.
“Uhh…”
I guess my response worried him, because he peeled his eyes open to examine himself. And he didn’t like what he saw. “I’m still a freak.”
“A freak without wings,” I pointed out. The spell had done that much.
“You said you could fix me!” he growled, stepping toward me menacingly.
“I said I would try. My spell book isn’t always perfect, you know.”
I’d forgotten how dangerous Kevin could be when he set his mind to it. Before I could blink, I was hanging three feet in the air by my shirt. “You lied to me!”
This could get ugly fast. Luckily, there was one spell I was sure I had down. Soon I was firmly on the ground, and Kevin’s hands were bound in indigo energy.
“How many times do I have to tell you to watch your temper? If you’d just be patient, I could tell you that I had a plan.”
He raised his hands up in submission.
“Maybe my spell book doesn’t have what I need, but there’s others out there. I just have to find them.” They couldn’t be too hard to find.
“But that could take years.”
“What else do you want me to do? It’s our only choice.”
Kevin rolled his eyes, an expression I took for agreement. “And what am I supposed to do in the meantime?”
“Do you have somewhere to stay?”
“Did you miss the ‘trapped in the Null Void for two years’ part?”
I frowned. “Okay, then. You’ll just have to hide in my basement.”
He snorted. “And your folks won’t notice a mutant freak in their basement?”
“They never come down there- it’s my personal space. They leave me alone, I don’t bother them. It’ll be fine.” He seemed resigned to nonviolence, so I removed his bonds.
“Fine, then. Your basement it is.” He gestured that I should lead the way.
It was probably just the relief of surviving this encounter, mixed with subconscious suggestion tied to my dreams, but something was giving me the strangest urges. Why not, I thought. So I stepped over to Kevin and gave him a quick hug. Then I realized he was probably still dangerous and jumped back. “Let’s go.”
But was it my imagination, or did he try to hug me back before I moved away?
Ta-da! Let the Gweviny goodness begin! So I didn’t have a bunch crammed in this one- it was too long on its own. Who knows for the next chapters, though?
Review and I’ll give you your choice of a) the ability to become one omnitrix alien at will, or b) a super-mc-big hug from Kevin!
