Ben 10: Marvelverse

Chapter 6: Rampage

The entire room was enveloped in a white light.

Lorna had covered her eyes from the light and waited for the light to disperse. Slowly the light started to recede. Lorna and the others looked to see the light condense into a single spot. As it started to completely disappear they saw two figures at the lights center. 

Wanda and Ben.

The light was being absorbed into Ben's hands as he held them together like he was mashing something between his palms. When the light had completely disappeared into them he relaxed his arms and separated them to reveal a glowing ball of light the size of a pea.

"That was a close one." Ben sighed as he looked at the ball before it was absorbed by his tail. Ben looked at Wanda who was now too tired to do anything. 

She tried to walk backwards but tripped and fell. She ended up crawling backwards until she put herself up against a wall. When she hit the wall she curled up into a ball and started shaking in fear as she looked at Ben.

"Wanda!" Charles yelled as he wheeled himself over to them. 

Wanda stopped looking at Ben and now stared at Charles with shame and guilt. 

"What happened Wanda. I thought we had made progress." Charles said disappointed in Wanda. Incredibly, the already small and frail looking girl looked to shrink even further as she looked down away from Xavier.

"Xavier. Your here." Someone said. 

Charles and everyone looked to find a doctor in a lab coat had entered the room. "Dr. Revlo. I have an appointment." Charles said.

"Yes, you did." The doctor agreed.

"So why was I denied at your door?" Charles asked.

"I guess someone forgot to put you down on the schedule." the man said calmly. 

Charles didn't reply. 

"Now I'm sorry but I'll have to cancel your appointment due to this outburst. I'll have to punish her and have her return to her cell." He explained.

"I don't think so." Ben said.

"Excuse me? And who are you?" Dr. Revlo asked.

"Ben. And like I said. I don't think so. She's not only your patient but the professors. We came here to meet her and that's what we will do." Ben said. 

Revlo looked at Wanda and smiled.

"Very well. She's all yours. Go ahead and meet with her." He said before he walked away. 

Ben looked down to find that Wanda was now in the fetal position with her hands wrapped around her knees as she rocked back and forth, mumbling something about not wanting to return. 

Charles looked and sighed sadly, he always felt so bad to see Wanda in such a wounded and frail position. "Ororo. Could you help her to one of the tables." Charles asked. 

Ororo nodded as she grabbed Wanda's arm gently and started to lift her up before leading her to a table to sit. 

Lorna looked at the frail form of her sister.

"How long has she been here?" Lorna asked Xavier.

"15 years. She's been here since she was five." Charles replied. Lorna looked back in a little surprise.

"She's the same age as you Ben." Lorna said. 

Charles looked at Ben. "Your 20?" Charles asked.

"Turn 21 this December." Ben replied.
