Benverse

The Base

Ben was out in the city, taking a morning stroll to clear his head. His thoughts stuck to the people who were transformed and how it crushed their loved ones. He could still see the reactions of all those people, especially that little girl. Ben wished that he could've done something to save them. A way to bring them all back to their loved ones.

"Man..." He kicked a pebble, walking through a park. He stopped when his attention was caught by a group of people, some of which looked like parents. There were three kids playing around. One was a girl, another was a boy, and the last was a young girl.

Ben could see the looks on the parents' faces. Their expressions were mixed, but there was worry written on their faces. They looked over their children as the three were happily playing. But even with this happiness, Ben was afraid that could be taken away. They could be next in another one of the Eclipse's attack.

To Ben, that couldn't happen again. It was a nightmare to witness.

"Hey! Don't run off too far!" One of the adults called out. The three kids had been playing tag, and two of them ran off to a farther distance, leaving the third behind. The one left was a brown-haired little girl in a ponytail, blue T-Shirt, jeans, and blue shoes. She stood by a tree as she saw the others leave her.

As the other kids run off, this one kid would trip over her feet, falling flat onto the ground and landing right by Ben's feet, catching his attention. But the girl didn't get hurt that bad, as it was merely a tumble.

The girl sat up as she groaned, but Ben was quick to help her up, making sure she was alright. "You okay?"

She blinked once before looking up at the green-eyed teen. "Yeah...Thank you, mister." She replied as her hand gripped the dirt, wiping it off of the jeans that she wore.

"No problem. It happens to the best of us." Ben replied, smiling. The girl soon went back to her feet as she noticed someone by her parents. Something like this was sweet, seeing her being around her parents. Ben would never want to see this sight vanish. Not by the Eclipse. But considering now there was no known cure for the Transformed People, Ben felt the need to do something.

In Ben's mind, there was one thing he could try and do. Looking at his hand and then clenching it, Ben decided on something that would usually require his teammates to get involved. But not this time.

"They could blindside us again with another attack. They'll always get the first advantage by turning people into monster. Well I'm not letting that happen. This time, I'll be the one to get the first advantage." He told himself, clenching his fists as he looked back to the parents who were enjoying this day with their kids. As much as the other Pro Heroes and heroes from other countries are doing their best, this situation required something a bit bigger.

Ben knew what that would entail. Looking back to the three people and the little girl that just fell over, Ben was going to take some action and try out something on them. His attention is soon stolen away as the parents of one of the children called for their daughter and the two sons.

Ben would then run off, ready to enact his plan. And that as to look out for any Eclips Members, finding them in advance, so that he gets the first strike this time.

================================================

The two officials from the UNH were currently searching for Ben to speak with him, moving across Star City while Ben was out. They've been told to inform Ben on the current situation and how the scientists believe Ben Tennyson can offer up some answers to save the people that have been afflicted by this phenomenon.

However, so far, they were unable to find him.

"Where could he have gone?!"

"We did. All of Star's City's been covered in our search, yet we still find nothing! He may have left Star City by now! Do you think he returned to his hometown, Bellwood?" Another questioned as he drove through the city looking through a pair of binoculars and a screen, but no signs of the green-eyed teenage boy anywhere.
