It's Hero Time! Vol 1 ( Ben 10 x Massive Harem)

Chapter 12-His name is Kevin E Levin

Later That Day

The Newspaper Club decided to have an impromptu welcoming party for Gwen. The girls took this chance to get to know Gwen better to score points with Ben. It was great since Kurumu made cookies that everyone shared. Originally, she had intended for just Ben to have them but she still loved to see him appreciate them even if she had to share them with the others.

"So, Ben," Gwen began. "Have you told them about all your adventures?"

"Y...yeah," Ben answered nervously.

The reluctant and unsure answer only served to make Gwen smirk. She could tell that he hadn't. Some of their past adventures during that fateful summer eight years ago had been quite embarrassing. Well, as his cousin, she had the responsibility of making sure Ben didn't have a big head from retelling his successful adventures.

"Oh, so you won't mind if I told the girls and Gin about the time we found the Fountain of Youth," Gwen spoke. Ben paled.

"The Fountain of Youth!?" Moka and the gang gasped. "It's real!?"

"Sure is...or was," said Gwen. "You see, Ben got soaked and he turned into a cute little five-year-old!"

Ben blushed.

"So, was he cute?" asked Moka and the girls.

"Yup, and the temper tantrum he threw as Heatblast was explosive!" Gwen laughed.

Gin fell off his chair laughing.

Ben wished he could go and hide right now.

"Then there was the time you thought you broke my laptop so to pay for it you entered a wrestling competition as Fourarms!" Gwen continued, "In the end, he found out I was using a fingerprint scanner to make sure Ben here didn't get his grubby hands on it!"

"Hey, I was doing it for the right reasons...even if I was being dumb," said Ben.

"Oh, and remember that time you turned into Grey Matter to find a rare Sumo Slammer card!" Gwen added, "And then the time you were stuck as Grey Matter and nearly got yourself dissected!"

"You nearly got dissected!?" Moka and the girls exclaimed, looking rather frightened at that explanation, even Gin was worried.

He was trying to get into this slide at the water park and messed with his watch so he would be tall enough to get on, but instead of growing tall he grew small," Gwen explained.

"Like you haven't done anything embarrassing, huh, 'Lucky Girl'?" Ben smirked, turning the tables on Gwen.

"I was young," Gwen made an excuse.

"Oh, if you had the opportunity you'd dress up and play hero again," Ben chuckled.

"Hey, not all of us could shapeshift, Ben Tennyson," Gwen glared.

"At least your powers are on all the time. As for mine, I had to wait till they recharge!"

"Well, that's what happens when you work with magic. Always with a trick up my sleeve," said Gwen. "Like..." Pink/purple energy wrapped around her hand and then it extended to grab a nearby cup and pull it into her hand. "Like so."

"Show off," snorted Ben.

"This from the kid who used to yell 'who's your hero'?" Gwen retorted sharply.

After the party, the gang went their separate ways. Ben and Gwen were taking the scenic route back to the dorms so they could catch up just between the two of them. Since they both lived in the same town and not too far from one another, they tended to be rather close even when they sometimes didn't want to be. "So, how do you like Youkai Academy so far?" asked Ben.
