It's been 3 days since I've returned to Bellwood. I spent those days helping Mom unpack, the house was now filled with furniture and belongings of Mom's and I.

I am currently in my room meditating. I was floating a few feet off the ground and a mentally pat myself on the back. I heard knocking on my door, "Honey, I'm heading out. Do you need anything?" It was Mom. "No Mom. Thank you." You respond. "Okay. But how about a walk? You haven't left the house in three days." She said. I remained quiet, not really wanting to talk anymore.

"Okay, I'll leave you be. Love you." Mom said. I heard the door open then close, Mom was out of the house. I was left to my thoughts and thought back to how much has changed. I have learned through my powers that Bellwood was now a hub for extraterrestrial life and that there is an underground city beneath Bellwood.

But that lead to me thinking about Ben. I couldn't remove the face that has been etched into my mind when he was in the truck. I felt bad, "I didn't want to hurt anybody, but I knew what would happen." I thought to myself. "I just wish I had the guts to talk to him." I whisper.

Before I know it a blinding light emitted from  my body. And when I opened my eyes, I found myself in some sort of high tech base. "(Y/N)?" A familiar voice spoke. I lost my focus and fell on my butt. I looked up to find no other than Max Tennyson offering me a hand, "And here I thought you not saying anything was because of the move." The elderly man said, a smile on his face.

I took his hand and he helped me up. I dusted myself off and fixed my clothes. "I am so sorry Grandpa Max. I wanted to tell you, but what with the move and my powers and-" I felt a hand being placed on my shoulder and stop my rambling. Max gave me a gentle squeeze on my shoulder, "It's okay. It must have been very stressful for you. But now that you're back I think we can be of help." He says.

I breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you Max." I was honestly thankful for having someone like Max. He lead me to a room that reminded me of the Rust Bucket, "How about you sit down while I make you something." He offers. I was honestly craving for Max's cooking, even if it was gross.

After being served with food, (if you can call it that), I told Max about my powers. "And I have been keeping them a secret ever since. I really missed you y'know." It felt good to finally tell someone my powers. Max listen to everything I said. He had that look on his face when he was thinking. "And you said your powers are connected to your emotions and if you overuse them it strains your body?" He asks. I nod.

Max got up and grabbed what looked to be a communicator. He called someone, although I didn't listen. I was wondering as to what was going to happen to me now that my secret out.

"You called us Magister Tennyson." I know that voice. I got up and saw Rook has entered the room he looked surprised upon seeing me. "I hope this is really important Grandpa. I was about to beat my-" Another voice piped up and it was Ben.

Max walked in front of me, he must have known I was nervous, "It is. I want you two to help (Y/N) get comfortable around here." Did I hear that right. "Max, are you-" "Asking you to become a Plumber? Yes, but only if you want to." He finishes my question. I have heard much about the Plumbers and this could be my chance to finally do something in my life that will actually benefit others. "Yes!" I accepted.

Max smile, "Well with that I like to introduce-" "We have already meant Magister Tennyson." Rook says. Max looked surprise but smiled, "Alright. And Ben," Said boy look up when he was mentioned, "I think you and (Y/N) have some catching up to do." The elder man finishes.

I looked over at Ben, but he still refused to look at me. This kinda annoy me and my powers flared up and he fell. "Ah-Ow!" He groaned. I jumped, "Sorry! That happens when my emotions get the best of my powers." I explained and gave him my hand to grab. But Ben refused my help and got up on his own.

"Well then, Uh? How about you three spend some time with each other? I've got some work to do." Max said then exit the room. Leaving the three of us alone.

Rook cough into his hand, "Then let us spend some time together." He suggested. Ben crossed his arms and looks away from me, "Yeah, whatever." He responds. I knew he was still pretty upset with me, but I hope some time with each other will get him talking to me, "Sounds great. And do you think we could stop by Undertown? I sensed it with my powers." I ask. Rook nods and starts walking out the door.

I follow after him and I look back to see Ben was starring at the ground. "Magister Tennyson said you two have some 'catching up to do.' Does that mean you have meant before?" Rook asked me. I felt a little bad Ben never mentioned me to his partner, but I did leave without saying anything, "You could say that." I answer. This was going to be awkward.

(Who doesn't love Grandpa Max. He is a legend in his own right.)
