the video clip ended there, leaving both boys staring at the screen in shock.

"that would explain the cloak he wears. he doesn't want anyone to see what his brother did." Ben said. Gwen pulled up another video.

"someone caught the footage of the bite." Gwen said. she put the video on screen, but Kevin quickly covered Ben's eye's so he wouldn't see it. Ben was grateful, he didn't like gore. Kevin and Gwen both watched in horror.

"wh-why would someone record that?" Kevin muttered as Gwen took the video off the screen. she shrugged slightly.

"I don't know that, but what I do know is after several years of living in the hospital and surgeries, Mike's face was still messed up pretty badly. apparently one of the animatronics teeth when through his left eye, so they had to remove it and.... they said he was paralyzed." Gwen said.

"that.... thats what he meant." Ben muttered, they looked at him.

"who?" Kevin ask.

"Mike, I told him we'd leave if he'd give me back the alien tech, but that red head said he couldn't be cause he'd put it inside Mike already, Mike said we couldn't have it, because he wouldn't go back to being paralyzed. the alien tech he bought, gave him use of his body back." Ben replied. Gwen looked grimly at him.

"I think I know why he only now got that stuff." Gwen said.

"why is that?" Kevin ask curiously.

"because, Joey got released about a week ago and the day after he was released, Mike started buying the Alien tech." Gwen replied.

"honestly... I don't know what the right thing to do here would be...." Ben admited after a quiet moment.

"I say we let Mike kill the bastard." Kevin said.

"no, deserved or not, letting Mike kill his brother is wrong." Gwen replied. Ben nodded.

"she's right... but we can let him keep the parts right?" Ben ask.

"I dunno Ben they're still illegal." Gwen replied. Ben glared.

"fine you walk up to him and tell him we're going to arrest him, take him into a hospital, forcibly remove the parts that are giving him the ability to walk again, then throw him in jail." Ben said, angrily. Kevin motioned towards Ben's medicine looking at Gwen. she nodded undertanding his head injury was why he was so angry.

"Ben-" Gwen tried to reason with him, but Ben stood up.

"no Gwen. I'm not going to let me or either of you punish him for what his brother did." Ben replied.

"I thought you were a good guy, good guy's do the right thing." Gwen stated. Ben narrowed his eye's.

"oh, so taking the only thing thats letting him walk is the right thing to do?" Ben hissed. "I am doing the right thing. he paid for the parts he needed to walk again and I won't take them from him, even if I have to fight you and Kevin to keep him walking, I will." Ben added.

"we're taking the parts back." Gwen decided. Ben wasn't sure what was wrong with him, anger bubbling inside him, he reached out and punched his cousin across the face. all three were shocked. Ben stepped back, then turned and headed back upstairs to his and Kevin's room, walking quickly. Kevin got up quickly and helped Gwen up.

"you should go. I'm not sure what he's going to do right now." Kevin said, heading upstairs behind Ben. he knocked to locked bedroom door. "Benji, open the door, I don't want to have to break it down." Kevin called. he knew he could pick the lock, but he wanted to get Ben to open the door. it didn't work, he rolled his eye's quickly picking the lock. he opened the door and closed it behind him. "Benji, where are you?" Kevin ask. he searched the room and the bathroom. he looked under the bed, Bens normal hiding place. he frowned, the only other place was the closet. he opened the closet. there one the floor, curled up and clutching his head, was Ben.

"close the door!" Ben shouted covering his eye's with a whimper. Kevin raised an eye brow, slipping into the closet with him and shutting the door.

"Ben?" Kevin ask. Ben shushed him.

"migraine headache." Ben muttered quietly, holding his head. Kevin nodded, realizing what had caused Bens sudden mood change. Ben was always moody if he had a bad headache or a migraine. Kevin got up carefully and quietly left the room. he came back with the pain medicine from the hospital. he knelt in front of Ben and gave him the medicine.

"hey, here, I brought you some medicine for it." Kevin said quietly. Ben took the medicine from his boyfriend. he took the medicine and curled back up. Kevin sat down with him and gently pulled him into his lap, kissing his neck gently. he didn't want to hurt Ben's head by kissing it. he did play with Bens hair gently though, Ben liked that feeling when he had a headache.

"the light hurts Kevy." Ben whimpered softly. Kevin nodded, getting up carefully.

"okay you cover your eye's okay, I'll close pull the curtians over the window okay?" Kevin ask. Ben nodded slightly, covering his eye's. Kevin laid him on the bed gently. he quickly covered the windows. "okay Benji, the room has no light in it." Kevin said, laying with him gently. Ben cuddled to his chest.

"I can't believe I punched Gwen." Ben muttered.

"I'll message her later and tell her your head injury made you do it." Kevin replied. Ben nuzzled his chest tiredly. "get some sleep Benji." Kevin murmured. Ben nodded falling sleep.

*with Mike*

"where's Bonnie?" a small voice ask. Mike paused and turned around, there stood little Leo.

"Bonnie is running some errands." Mike replied. the child nodded.

"are you Mike?" Leo ask. Mike nodded. "do you wanna see what I can do?" Leo ask excitedly. Mike paused and looked at the boy again. he stepped back and nodded.

"sure." Mike smiles. Leo grabbed the closest thing to him, a small pipe, and Mike was shocked by how quickly the boy could change. Mike smiled slightly watching him. "you remind me of myself when I was little." Mike said. Leo, now back to his normal form, looked at Mike.

"Mike, can I stay here? it's warm and there's other people here." Leo said. Mike shook his head.

"no but I know someone who will take you." Mike replied. Leo bowed his head.

"you don't want me?" Leo ask sniffling.

"no it's not that. I just... I'm not the right person to take care of a kid. I stink with kids." Mike replied. "besides you need someone to help you learn your powers okay?" Mike ask. Leo nodded.

"do you have any toys?" Leo ask curiously. Mike shook his head.

"no, I'm sorry." Mike replied. Leo nodded and grabs a pencil.

"thats okay I play with trash." Leo said.

"Mike it's time to go get the other parts." Bonnie warned. Mike nodded.

"alright grab the kid c'mon." Mike replied. Bonnie nodded, scooping up Leo.

*the buying sight*

Leo stood hesitantly, holding the object Mike bought.

"it's okay, you remember the plan?" Mike ask. Leo nodded.

"yeah." Leo said. Mike patted his head and hid quickly. Kevin stopped the car and jumped out. Ben and Gwen followed him. Gwen paused looking over at the child.

"you guys see that kid too right?" Gwen ask. they nodded and Ben walked over to the boy.

"hi. what are you doing here?" Ben ask. Leo opened his mouth, but closed it quickly, absorbing the matieral in his hands. Ben was shocked. "holy- Kev! he's like you." Ben said. Leo stepped back as they got closer to him. Leo turned and ran as fast as he could. he hooked up to the machine Mike had left for him. it took off flying. Leo screamed slightly as he was taken into the air. Bens jaw dropped he switched quickly to Jetray and changed quickly. Mike jumped out with the others.

"not so fast Tennyson. the boys safe. I won't hurt him, you however, will not be so fine. I'm taking this chance to keep you rom interupting my plans for tonight, unfortunately that means you're getting hurt." Mike said. Ben took off  after Leo. Mike pointed. "Bonnie!" Mike shouted. Bonnie jumped up and grabed Jetrays foot.

"h-hey! get off!" Ben shouted. Kevin ran at Bonnie to knock him off Ben, but Freddy knocked him over. Mike whinced rubbing his legs. Ben managed to get free and flew up but the Omnitrix suddenly started flashing red and he was suddenly Ben again. Ben shouted loudly as he fell towards the ground. Mike looked up.

"Foxy!" Mike shouted. the red haired man took off running, he ran and jumped off a nearby roof of a building, where he'd been hiding in case Mike needed him. he jumped grabing hold of Ben and returning to his animatronic form and landed feet first, then held onto Ben as he rolled over onto his back. he let Ben go, Ben held his head in pain from his earlier injury. Foxy grabed Mike and whistled. they took off quickly. "now we finally have all the parts we need." Mike laughed as Foxy carried him off. Kevin ran over to Ben.

"are you okay?" Kevin ask helping him up. Ben rubbed his arm.

"yeah, just a little sore.... but, I got his trace signal." Ben muttered, rubbing his head. "now we can figure out what they're doing." Ben muttered.
