Ben 10 in (DC) It's hero Time

Chapter 24: Trust



As Ben got to his motorcycle he thought

" Should I join the team? I should join the team, right."

As Ben started his motorcycle and was going back home, before he could go far, a portal opened where he was before, and someone in Red and blue in a Cape with an S symbol on his chest walked out, looking at everything around.

He saw Ben's fading back. His eyes started glowing red as he gave chase as he was about to close in on Ben. Suddenly, another portal opened in front of him, and a creature with a black, humanoid body adorned with star-like patterns resembling the universe, an Omnitrix symbol on his chest.

They came out and grabbed him by the neck and threw him into another portal.

The figure Then looked back at Ben who didn't notice anything and was raiding his motorcycle back like nothing happened.

His piercing green eyes glowing, the figure stepped into another dimension fading away from this time and space.

As Ben was preoccupied with his own matter, he didn't notice anything that happened behind him.

Ben thought "Should I join I mean I should right" Although Ben thought that but he couldn't make up his mind there was something that was preventing him from making that decision.

All his life, he wanted this to be a real hero, but now that it was time for him to make the decision, he couldn't help but hesitate.

Ben, feeling frustrated, spoke out loud.

"Come on, Ben, why are you hesitating? Why can't you be decisive now? You literally fought a space alien that wanted to destroy the whole Multiverse, so what's the big deal with joining a team?".

Sometime later, as Ben got to his house, he parked his bike inside the garage and entered the house,e and saw his mom in the kitchen.

"Ben! You're finally home! I was starting to get worried. You know, you can't just run off like that without telling us where you're going. Are you okay? You didn't get hurt, did you?" Sandra Ben's mom, looking very concerned, asked Ben.

Ben replied, " I'm fine, Mom. It's nothing." Saying that Ben got to his room.

Looking at the closing door Sandra looked worried. For the past month and a half. Something was wrong with her son, but she couldn't understand what was wrong, and when she asked him, he wouldn't tell her anything.

Sometime later, as Ben's Dad, Carl Tennyson, came home, he saw his wife sitting on the couch, looking dazed and having a distressed expression on her face.

Carl put his hand on her shoulder and said

"Honey.. honey, are you ok".

"Oh, you back when did you",

"Just now, but what were you thinking about just now?". Carl asked.

"About Ben," she said.

" What happened to Ben," Carl asked.

"Well, nothing happened to him, but you know how his behavior changed over the past month and some, so I'm feeling worried about him," she replied.

"Well, that's true." To be honest, even Carl noticed how Ben changed, but he thought this was just him going through those teenage phases. Looking at his wife's worries, he thought there might really be something going on.

"Well, Dad's back, and he was about to come tomorrow. How about I ask him to come now and see what is up with Ben," Carl said.

Sometimes later, as Ben was playing his sumo slammers video game, he heard a knock on his door.

" Coming".

As Ben opened the door, he saw Grandpa Max.

He exclaimed, " Grandpa, Max, your back. When did you get back."

Grandpa Max, looking at Ben's happy expression, smiled and said, "Just yesterday, wanna go for a smoothie?".

30 minutes later, as Ben was drinking his smoothies and sitting in the front seat of the rust bucket, Grandpa Max, who was driving, started speaking.

"How's everything going on? Everything alright."

Ben replied, "Hmm, everything's fine".

Grandpa Max looking worried asked Ben

"Ben, is everything really fine?".

Ben, looking surprised, asked, "Yeah.. why are you asking such a question all of a sudden?".

"Well, your parents told me something has been different about you for some time; they are worried about you, and I'm worried about you, so if you have anything you want to talk about, just know I am here". Said Max.

Ben, looking at him, felt bad for making them feel worried for him, but. Looking at the Omnitrix, he thought, can he really talk to them about this unique situation? Plus, would they even believe him?

Looking at Ben's hesitant expression, Grandpa Max said, "Whatever it is, you can talk to me about it."

Ben looking at grandpa Max's sensior expression thought, " well I already know grandpa Max's secret that he's a plamur so he should understand and believe me right".

With a rasoloot expression, Ben said

"Well, I do have something I think you should know".

Ben started telling everything from the start, about how he met the other version of himself,

Of course, he didn't say everything like the talk about how this universe is like two tangled branches and how he knew about Max's secret identity.

He kept those things hidden. Instead; he talked about how he got the Omnitrix and how he fought against Vilgax. He also told him about what Ben 10k said and how he had been fighting Bad guys for the past 2 months. And how the Titans asked him to join them.

At first, Max looked curious, Then surprised, Then skeptical, and Then amazed.

"So you're saying that a watch can turn you into an alien, and you fought with different versions of yourself. And you, the one The News was talking about when they mentioned new superheroes in Bellwood."

Grandpa Max with an expansion as he didn't understand what to think.

Ben awkwardly said, "Yeah, I understand if you don't believe me, I know".

"I believe you," Grandpa Max interjected and said.

"You do?" Ben asked, looking surprised.

With a smile, he said, " I have seen you grow up, kid. I know when you're lying, yeah, it is hard to believe what you're saying, but believe me, it's not the weirdest thing I have heard or seen".

Looking at his trust-filled eyes and that resorting smile, Ben also smiled, as finally he told someone about his secret and They didn't doubt his sanity.

He also understood that Grandpa Max supported him as he didn't reprimand him for wanting to be a hero.

So he asked, "What do you think I should do, Grandpa? Should I join the Titans?".

"I think you should do what you want to do. It's a big decision, and only you should make that decision, and I believe you'll make the right choice. Always remember,r Ben, I believe in you, so you should too."

Grandpa Max, understanding Ben's complicated emotions, gave him Hart felt advice.

Ben, understanding his intentions and feeling the trust in his words, gave him a hug and said, " Thanks, Grandpa; now I think I know what I want to do."

Grandpa Max, laughing, patted Ben's back and said, "Anytime, kiddo, anytime."

Ben, getting out of the rust bucket, said, "See you, letter, Grandpa."

"Ben safe out there" ..huh .. sigh.

Ben getting into a secluded alley thought

"I should choose something really fast." Ben, getting the Omnitrix Dail up, chose "Jetrey". Ben getting up in the air tonight

" Titans tower here I come".
