10 x Infinity | Ben Tennyson x Reader | Book 2

Episode 16: Good Copy, Bad Copy

A/N: The genuine fear me and my cousin(/Ben 10 provider) feel because there's a legit possibility that the Ben 10 shows are gonna get removed from HBOmax...I honestly don't know what'll happen to this book if that happens. It will either be ditched, turned into a oneshot book, or maybe I'll keep it going in write original chapters...I dunno.

So anyway, enjoy the chapter.

I grunt as I levitate my bed, it glow F/C for a second and immediately starts to glow black. I huff, "Come on. Don't get my hopes up..." I sigh, looking at my hands as they glow. They stop glowing, "Sure wish Mom was here to help explain all this..." I grumble bitterly before my phone buzzes.

Benji💚:
I'm ready now.

N/N:
Ok, I'll be there in 15.

Benji💚:
15? You're literally right next door.

N/N:
I'm getting chili fries

N/N:
I feel like we're gonna need them

Benji💚:
Fair enough. See you soon 💚

N/N:
💚

I pop a chili fry in my mouth, "Ok, the kid weighs 25 kilograms, 3 meters per second 2 meters from the center of the merry-go-round-" I eat another chili fry. Ben wipes his hands on his pants, "What? N/N, wait. Lemme write this down." Ben says, his voice was muffle by all the fries in his mouth.

"Congratulations, Tennyson. You're finally putting the Omnitrix to maximum use—you know, Clandestine butt-kicking-wise." Kevin says proudly, Gwen shoves past him and storms up to us sternly, Ben and I share confused glances, "What are you talking about?" Ben asks. I discreetly eat another chili fry, "Nice try. We saw you as Jetray flying away from a battle." Gwen says.

"Look, I've been studying all week for a physics test tomorrow. It's my worst subject." Ben states "Maybe you're not really studying." Gwen says, narrowing her eyes at us. What does that even mean?! "Oh h*ll no! I'm not getting caught up in this bullsh*t again. This wouldn't be the first time someone's impersonated Benji to make him look bad!" I say defensively, everyone looks at Kevin.

He clears his throat, "Can you vouch for his whereabouts?" He asks, I bite the inside of my cheek, "Ok, no. I can't do that. I just got here like five minutes ago, Ben has to study on his own and I help with the review questions...he's not really good at the review, but I still help him." I state "I'm getting better." Ben says, shooting a playful pout "He's doing his best and I love him for it." I say, patting his cheek, Ben smiles at me.

"With Grandpa Max gone, we've got to rely on each other. If you've got a secret, you should spill it—now." Gwen says sternly "I've slowly been dying from a hereditary disease that was designed to punished Mom because she destroyed her home planet, killing her whole species. And now she's in jail because she didn't do a good job destroying an entire planet." I state bluntly, the room goes quiet as Kevin and Gwen shoot me concerned looks, "Don't worry, I think it's starting to go away now. We don't know why, but I'll except the plot convenience for now." I say, eating another chili fry and kicking my legs happily. Gwen and Kevin slowly look away from me to look at Ben.

"I swear, I've been all about calculating the angular momentum. If I don't pass, my mom will ground me, which means minimal Hero Time and zero Y/N Time. You do the math. 'Cuz apparently, I can't." Ben huffs, I gently pat his back. "I believe him. When you lie, your left eye twitches." Kevin states "It does?" I ask, leaning to look at Ben's face. I've never seen it twitch before, either that means I haven't been paying enough attention to Ben's face...or Ben's never lied to me.
