He doesn’t know whether to question the new relative, or the possible mustached, taller, much more handsome version of himself out there that’s not 10,000.

… Best to start with the new relative.

Cousin???

[𝑩𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒚。 @Saiyadite]

Gwen? Cousin? So, he's another relative? It's nice to meet him! Although, she wishes it was under a less awkward circumstance.

Not him, but also him? So, should she assume it's a time travel issue—?

[𝘽𝙀𝙉. @PrimeOmnitrix]

… start?

Just a heads up, I’m not the most coordinated at Dance Dance Revolution and I will complain every step of the way if you drag me over there. ”

[𝘽𝙀𝙉. @PrimeOmnitrix]

His eyes threatened to roll into their respective sockets, following Irey’s simple question. Not directed at her, of course, but towards the monotone lifestyle he had almost became accustomed to.

“ I’d rather not relive those days, but let’s just say I …

[𝘽𝙀𝙉. @PrimeOmnitrix]

… might be claustrophobic now... ”

He chimed, a few steps behind. Making a small detour towards the front counter, while the young heroine looked the place over. Returning some moments later with a pocket full of arcade coins.

“ So, where do you wanna’ …

[𝘽𝙀𝙉. @PrimeOmnitrix]

… after.

“ So... the Naturan Union, huh?
What’s that all about? ”

So much for the ‘politeness’ that Patelliday attempted to prioritize.

[𝘽𝙀𝙉. @PrimeOmnitrix]

“ Oh, that? ” he’d scoff. Assuming what appeared to be a much more comfortable demeanor than before. Faking it till’ he made it was how he got through most of grade school, after all.

“ It’s no biggie. High-strung’s pretty much the standard around here, …

[✶「 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒈𝒐𝒏 𝑶𝒇 𝑯𝒐𝒑𝒆. @ImperialCosmos]

— She genuinely hopes Patelliday didn't pressure the boy so much he's now /nervous/ about this whole affair.

“It really isn't such a serious thing, I promise! I wasn't upset or cross at you for being late at all!”

[𝘽𝙀𝙉. @PrimeOmnitrix]

… than a nervous wreck who malfunctioned around girls.

Beginning the trek towards the elevator, where he would then signal with both arms for Jade to enter its’ opening door before him. Soon to follow and embrace the silence which greeted them shortly …

[𝘽𝙀𝙉. @PrimeOmnitrix]

… on the outskirts of the building, too engrossed in their own phone.

“ Man, it’s gotta’ be 
fun being a Speedster. ”

Ending the call on his end and shoving his phone into its’ respective pocket, Ben took ahold of the door and opened it for his friend to walk in.

[𝘽𝙀𝙉. @PrimeOmnitrix]

Before he could even finish the final parts of his sentence, he’d been met with the image of Irey and a live streak of lightning to boot.

“ —now. ”

Fortunately, they were just about the only ones standing outside of the place, not including the employee …

[𝘽𝙀𝙉. @PrimeOmnitrix]

… neck standing on end that grabbed her attention, then certainly it’d be the slight quiver in his voice.

“ O—oh. No n—eed
to be so f—formal. ”

Gulp.

“ Ben’s just fine. Let’s get started with the tour, shall we? ”

[𝘽𝙀𝙉. @PrimeOmnitrix]

Between the Magister’s well-meaning instructions, the head of Ben would bow in intervals. Chiming every now and then with a series of powerful: “Yep’s”, “Uh-huh’s” & “Got it’s.”

This was a mission paramount to the continued success of the Plumbers. Pair …

[✶「 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒈𝒐𝒏 𝑶𝒇 𝑯𝒐𝒑𝒆. @ImperialCosmos]

— 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺...”

And so, finally, the elder Plumber walked off. Leaving the two teens to finally be alone.

Jade was unsure, ears folded downwards and tail curled against her as she walked foward.

“Mr. Tennyson?”

[𝘽𝙀𝙉. @PrimeOmnitrix]

… thing entirely.

In a fit of fright that not even the likes of Z’skayr had seen from the boy, Benjamin shook himself stiff. Pivoting like an automaton, to meet the face of Jade. If it weren’t the sweat beginning to pour from his face, or the hairs of his …

[𝘽𝙀𝙉. @PrimeOmnitrix]

“ You’ve got some pretty good timing, I’m outside the arcade right now. ”

[Joaum @joaumlui]

FRIIIIIAAAGEEEEEMMMMMMM

[Yokaiju @Yokaiju1]

Ben 10 aliens redesigns 5- OS additionals, the BIG finale! (for now)
Ending it on Waybig, who came out looking very SHELL-ish lol

[𝘽𝙀𝙉. @PrimeOmnitrix]

Everything he knows comes from his cousin; Gwen, so he isn’t exactly the most knowledgeable. That’s sorta’ her thing.

Ah, she must be referring to Ben 10,000. In which case, that’s him— but not. But then again it is. It’s kinda’ complicated.

[𝑩𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒚。 @Saiyadite]

Pardon her, she's just never met a human who was aware of the existence of Anodites, much less alien life.

And it's not just that. . .she could've sworn he was taller too? And older? This is weird—.
