Chereads / Marvel's Ben 10 / Chapter 4 - Meeting the Duo

Chapter 4 - Meeting the Duo

After going out of the base, Ben took a Quinn jet and headed towards Russia. After about eight hours, Ben landed the in Russia one kilometer away from an abandoned warehouse. He exited the Quinn jet. Then he was someone coming towards him, Black Widow, not in her usual tight uniform but in black skirt carrying her scandals in hands rather than wearing.

"Hey! How you doing?" Ben said as he saw Black Widow walking towards the Quinn jet.

"I was in the middle of an investigation and that moron was giving me every detail." She said with an annoyed tone. But it was clear that she was not in a good mode. After all, the one who she considered a good friend has been possessed by the enemy.

"Come on, get on. We gonna get the Big-Guy." Ben said to Natasha.

"Yeah, why we couldn't just grab the rich-guy and Coulson get him." Natasha said with a little irritation. The tone of her voice couldn't go unnoticed by Ben's super sense.

"Don't worry, we'll be just fine." Ben replied reassuring.

"Couldn't you just bring more agents along? What if he goes out of control?" Natasha said in a very low voice, fear could be exactly noticed from her tone.

"If we bring more people with us, it'll just make it madder. That guy is not just big but he also has a sort of awareness also." Ben replied while he remembered that in the original she did brought many people but his insertion has changed this little part. What else could've become different? Well! Nothing changed much. Like Iron Man's kidnapping, Thor's hammer's falling. Ben did help Coulson in keeping track of Tony and Thor's Hammer after all. Not even this, he also provided a whole lot of information from those mythology books in the library. Not to mention, he also tried lifting the Hammer but couldn't, but guess what? He managed to get his hands on a metal from the core of the burning star.

"Yeah, make sense." Natasha said.

Ben put his hand on her shoulder and said, "Everything will be alright."

"Thanks." Natasha said with a smile.

"What happened to Barton?" She sat beside Ben and wore headphones then inquired about Barton.

"You know that Tesseract was reacting to something." Ben told Natasha in a rhetoric manner.

"Yeah, I know that, so what with that?" Natasha said while turning some buttons on Quinn jet dial.

"Actually, it was someone trying to access it and he managed to open a portal and came there." Ben explained.

"Who?" Natasha asked.

"It was LOKI. Thor's brother. He used some sort of scepter on Barton and possessed him along with Dr. Silvig and a few other agents and ran away taking the Tesseract along."

"You know. For a guy to settle his stress chose a hell of place." Natasha said as they entered the house after Dr. Banner.

*Beep *Beep *Beep *Beep [Unknown DNA sample detected. Request permission to scan?] When they entered the room, Omnitrix's voice echoed in the house.

"What was that?" Natasha asked with obvious curiosity.

"It is my watch. It is like a super computer, I designed. It just keeps notice of my surrounding for any non-human creatures. It appears that due to Dr.'s mutation it regarded him as alien specie." Ben explained. After this, Natasha went silent as they were on a mission.

"So, doctor?" Ben then turned towards Bruce and asked him.

"Avoiding stress isn't the secret." Bruce finally walked to the middle of the room. Probably, on guard and spoke.

"Then what is it? Yoga!" Natasha said confidently but Ben could still feel her nervousness. But, she must be praised for her poker face. She is quite a good actor.

"So, you brought me to the edge of the city. I assume the whole place is surrounded." Bruce said and walked towards a window in the corner of the house and look outside.

"It's just us. After all we cannot risk the Big-Guy becoming angry." Ben spoke before Natasha could say anything.

"And that little spy, who brought me here."

"We just asked for a little help, you know." Ben answered straight while looking into Banner's eyes.

"And who are you?" Bruce Banner asked looking at us.

"Natasha Romanoff", "Ben Tennyson, on behalf of SHIELD." They both introduced themselves in very brief.

"So, are you here to kill me agents because that's not gonna work out." Bruce asked while shaking his head in denial.

"Actually, we are here to ask for help." Ben said and then they told him the problem about the radiations of the Tesseract and Loki.

"The Tesseract radiates gamma radiation that is too weak for us to trace. So, Fury wants you to help us find it." Natasha explained while sitting on a chair and putting a phone with the photo of the Tesseract on the screen.

"There is no one who needs gamma radiation that anyone. Like you do and if there was! That's where we would be." Natasha continued on further.

"So Fury isn't after the monster." Bruce said, removing his glasses and putting them in his front pocket.

"Fury wants you....." Natasha began but was cut off in the middle by Bruce. "He wants me to cage."

"No he wants you to..." Natasha began again but Ben came farward again and stood neat the chair on which Natasha was sitting.

*Thudd "Stop lying to me." Bruce shouted.

"Shut up, Dweeb. Are you deaf or something? Why are you shouting?" Ben said while scratching his ears meanwhile, putting a little mana into his vocals, to produce calming effect. Bruce went silent and took a step back but to his surprise, Natasha was calmly sitting down though she looked a little scared.

"I am sorry, that wasn't me." Bruce said while a little embarrassed.

"Well, I wasn't even talking to you." Ben said and used his to a minimum level to persuade Hulk, so that without noticing anything, he would ready to go along. It did worked and after a little more persuasion. Ben a found them in the Quinn jet where looking at the right opportunity he activated Omnitrix's scan and scanned Bruce's body, off course after asking for permission. After a few seconds, big giant green alien similar to Humangasaur [1] appeared on the Omnitrix's dial. If Ben tried a little, it was possible for Ben to find a cure for his loss of control. His transformation could not be reversed easily because he has mutated from human. That's also one of the reasons why Omnitrix took him as an alien.

"Actually Ben, if you don't mind me asking, what is that watch like thing you are using? It doesn't really look like a watch." At last Bruce couldn't hold his curiosity and burst like a bubble.

"Off course, it is not a watch doctor, but a super-computer." Answered Ben.

"Whoa! Super Computer? That smaller?" Bruce said in surprise.

"It just read your DNA doctor. Not even this; it also helped us to track your location." Ben said that he used it to track his location which was a lie. Actually, it was the Super-Smartphone that tracked him.

"You should get some rest, Doctor. We have a long way to go." Ben told Banner with a smile. Bruce nodded and went to the back, while Natasha looked at Ben and asked.

"How were you be so cool in front of Bruce? Not to mention, you called him Dweeb." Natasha asked Ben.

"I can feel his pain. He was hated all alone, not allowed to show itself. People just act differently in front of him. I just talked to him like I could with my friends." Ben explained honestly. Hulk does felt alone in the world. No one wanted to be near him out of fear. Ben could really feel his loneliness. Call it the Omnitrix's given feel of having sympathy with other life forms or something but he was definitely feeling pity.

"How could you be so sure?" Natasha asked, still unsure of what Ben had just said.

"Just, put yourself in his shoes. What if you suddenly turn into a giant monster and people starts hating and fearing you. How would you feel? What I just did back there, was just showing him that we are not even unafraid of but we can be his friends." Ben went on describing his own view.

It was 11 o'clock at noon when Ben's Quinn jet reached the Helli-carrier base. They took off from the Quinn jet and walked towards the bridge. After an hour another Quinn jet arrived, Ben walked towards the Quinn jet and Natasha followed after him. When they reached there, Agent Coulson and Captain America walked out of the Quinn jet.

"Hey AC, how you doing?" Ben said to Agent Coulson. AC being a nick name which only Ben uses to call to Coulson.

"Agent Tennyson! Agent Romanoff! This is Captain Rogers."

They nodded to the fan-boy, Coulson and Steve.

"Coulson, they need you on the bridge," Natasha informed Coulson.

"How are you, Captain? Keeping up with the 21th century or missing the old days?" Ben smiled and said to Steve.

Captain America chuckled and spoke, "I am trying to keep up." Then he glanced at some Quinn Jets and said, "Man, I really miss the days when the most strange things science ever created that was incomprehensible was me."

Natasha, Ben and Bruce laughed after hearing and Ben said, "You will get used to it." And he also made his way with Bruce Banner to the bridge leaving behind Natasha and Steve.
