Fights in the woods had never been so unfair especially when dealing with a 12ft robot for that matter. Red armour shining appearing like one of Vilgax's giant drones but this one was different from the others. It wasn't going down.

"DUCK" Gwen shouted missing a hit as she called out to Kevin. He was smacked right in the jaw with a robot hand. His body scraped the forest floor smashing into a nearby tree rendering him unconscious. Ben wiped the sweat and water out of his face. It was beginning to become harder and harder to fight in these conditions. Fused with the smoke and the heavy rain, the freezing cold become to seem nicer for bruised skin. "SIDE" Ben called out. Gwen dodge the hand try and reach for her. She side stepped blasting the large robotic hand to a pulp.

"Nice one, Gwen" Ben shouted to her. She took a breath in struggling more than she seemed. She wiped her brow before the sweat caused by the burning fires surrounding them and the exhaustion she was facing finally got to her. Ben watched as wires sprung out of the robots arm reforming a new hand.

He breathed out angrily. "This things unstoppable" He gritted his teeth before looking over to his cousin to see her shredded clothing and cut cheek. Her sluggish form leaned over slightly as she charged another disc throwing it towards the alien robot. The disc shot right threw it's heart center. Ben smiled before he frowned. The damage healed instantly and the robots eyes just turned more red.

"This is hopeless" Gwen breathed out. Ben stared down at his watch noticing it charge back up to a full green screen. "Not any more. It's ready" Ben called out to her as he pressed the button down.

"SPIDER MONKEY" He screamed racing up to the robot dodging its blasts. In the meantime, Gwen lept over to Kevin grabbing him with one arm over her shoulders. She tried to lift him up not seeing the hidden lazer beam targeting her.

Kevin opened his eyes just in the nick of time. "Gwen" he called out weakly. "Hold on, I'm going to-" He body flung across the air land scearding across from Kevin's. Her winced her eyes feeling pain flood throughout her whole body. She winced her eyes trying to pull herself up and help Kevin. Sweat made it's way into her eyes blinding her momentarily the robot spotting a moment of weakness.

It's arm extended, Ben dodged it's claws and raced up the robots up to it's head hoping to disconnect some of it's wiring. Gwen managed to raise herself onto her knees and hands in an attempt to catch her breath back before she continued on.

Her back was killing her. "GWEN MOVE" She heard Kevin scream at the top of her lungs. Without thinking about it she tried to roll onto her side before it was too late. The robot grabbed hold of her her body with an iron fist. She winced clenching her teeth in pain as it dragged her back it's lock on her vulnerable body becoming more and more painful. She felt like she were about to be crushed under the intense weight.

"Hold on, Gwen" Spidermonkey shouted out to her. The clench tighten. "HURRY" The breath was knocked out of her lungs as Spidermonkey turned to the back of it's head pulling at the wires but nothing seemed to work. The clench was getting tighter and tighter and he was struggling to breathe from the smoke. He had to do something quickly or-

The robot grabbed the monkey throwing him into a nearby tree breaking it. Spidermonkey winced his eyes struggling to pick himself up. He heard a crack and a ear piecing scream. He turned to his cousin still locked in a tight hold.

"KEVIN. HEL-" He turned to Kevin seeing his body still covered in metal armour rendered unconscious. Ben looked over to the love of his life being crushed. Everything was going to hell there was no way he was going out like this. Ben pressed down on the ultimatrix symbol turning him into Ultimate spidermonkey before he heard another crack. He dashed over to the arm that held his cousin. She was coughing and struggling to breathe right now. He could tell she was about to pass out. He punched at the arm trying to break it. The robot swung at him with it's other arm but he dodged it continuing to bash the arm and break the wiring system before it fell to the ground with his cousin.

The alien turned round shooting web in it's face before dashing over to his cousin still trapped in it's claw.

"Hold on Gwen" He pulled at either sides of the claw snapping it open. He saw his cousin's weak body, fragile and shaking. He had never seen her like this before. So vulnerable. He grabbed her with two of his free hands and held her close to his body shielding her from the flames as he dashed through the forest trying to get her to safety. Fire encased his body singing his hair as the time-out button began to sound. "Come on, come on" He could see the end of the forest. He dived for it just as the omnitrix timed out. There body's flew through the air crash landing in the mud.

Ben winced his eyes as he heard his cousin hissing and groaning in pain. He figured she had broken something by the sounds of it. "Gwen, you okay?" He called out to her. She winced groaning through the pain and the teeth chattering cold.

"YES" She bit back like it was completely obvious. Ben winced his eyes crawling over to her through the mud. Heavy rain blinded his vision as he made it towards his cousin. He placed a hand on her cheek checking to see if she could at least move.

The fire was at least good enough to inspect Gwen's body however the mud and dirt didn't help. He could see that most of her clothing had been shredded though leaving her sore, bare skin shown. He wondered if she had suffered any burns because of it. He had her protected by his body as he stormed through the forest causing himself to be snipped and cut due to the fire. "We have to get out of here. That robots going to be here any second" He helped her up.

Gwen winced about to vomit from the pain. She could barely put any pressure on her legs without them buckling. "I.. 't" She winced exhausted to the brink of giving up. "We have to move NOW" He shouted at her through the storm. "Kevin" She breathed out. "Where's Kevin?" She asked trying to take another step. Ben pushed forward taking more and more steps each time she tried to argue with him. "We have to help him" Gwen winced her eye staring up at her cousin. "We can't do anything, we have to call for reinforcements" Ben told her. She winced her eyes not wanting to accept that her cousin was right. There was no way she could go back in there and defeat with robot and save her boyfriend. "I see something" Ben pushed forward making her walk.

Gwen stared up to see a large house. She saw it as a sign of hope. She tried to move against the pain and exhaustion refusing to allow her legs to give out. "One last push Gwen" The grass seemed to end as they came up to the barn.

She let her head fall down as she focused on just moving her feet trying to help her cousin as much as she could. He pushed the large wooden door open letting his cousin collapse to the ground within the confines of the barn. He closed the door trying to stop them from getting wet before he looked around the dark trying to find something that could keep the two of them warm. He knew if he didn't they would surely suffer hypothermia.

He couldn't help but shake uncontrollably. He had learned from his health science class that uncontrollable shaking was a sign of hypothermia. He looked over to a nearby bench finding old tools and an electronic lamp. He begged the lamp turning it on. He smiled so brightly as it worked before looking around trying to find something they could use to cover themselves.

He found a nearby station where animals had been kept. Hay was stacked in the corner. He smiled before turning back round to see a horse blanket hanging over the pen. He grabbed it placing it into the pen as well as the lantern before rushing over to his cousin dragging her over to the pen and laying her down in the heap of hay. She shivered turning to her side and admiring the light.

"Where'd you get that?" She asked shivering like crazy. Ben grabbed the animal blanket placing it ontop of her and rubbing her body down.

"It was on the table" Ben informed her. She nodded her eyes begging close. "Try and stay awake for me Gwen" He told her.

"I am" She mumbled letting her eyes slide closed. "No, Gwen...keep them open" His hand shivered like crazy. Gwen opened her eyes noticing her cousin. She winced her eyes before reaching out to him. He grabbed her hand. "This isn't going to work. We're both going to die if we d-don't warm u-up" She told him opening her eyes and looking him straight in the eye.

"This omnitrix has timed out. I can't light a fire even if I wanted too" Ben stated. She shook her head. "Take your clothes off" She told him wincing her eyes in pain. "WHAT? NO" Ben told her. Gwen winced again. "You have too, our body heat can keep each other warm" She stated. Ben stared down at her. He was about to strip down in front of his own cousin.

"Fine, but you have to close your eyes" He stated. Gwen breathed out closing her eyes annoyed. He grabbed his jacket pulling it off him before peeling off his top and trousers as well as his underwear. His blush maddened before he stared down at Gwen. "Now what?" He covered himself so his own cousin wouldn't have to see. "You have to take mine off" She mumbled. Ben's blush deepened. He felt warm instantly. He gulped. "I can't"

Gwen winced. "Y-You have too. I c-can't do it on mmmy own" She told him frustrated. He nodded removing the blanket and grabbing her top undoing the buttons. He lifted her up hearing her hiss in pain as he tried to remove his shirt. "Does this hurt?" He asked gently. Gwen winced nodding. "Just get it over with" She mumbled as he removed her blouse and red sweater. "And the bra?" He asked. Gwen kept her eyes closed struggling to stay awake. "Gwen" He tapped her face. She nodded looking up at him.

"You have to stay awake" He could see her goosebumped riddled skin shake. He unhooked the clips staring down at her perfect breasts. He was beginning to feel warmer and warmer by the second. He quickly grabbed her skirt pulling it down along with what was left of her stockings. He then grabbed either side of her panties looking away as he pulled it down. She shivered feeling the wetness of her panties roll down her legs. "What now?" Ben asked. Gwen looked up at him. "Hold me" She mumbled. Ben was hesitant but nodded. He laid down next to her holding his naked cousin tightly in his arms as he wrapped the small blanket around both of them. "Feel warmer" he asked her gently.

"A little" Gwen nodded wrapping her arms around him and closing her eyes. She groaned gently as she tried to get herself comfortable. Ben placed his arm under her head as they held each other. "Gwen, why don't you tell me a story of when we were little" He asked her. She chuckled weakly. "Of what? You sleeping with a teddy bear cause you were too afraid of the dark" She smiled up at him. Ben groaned blushing lightly.

"How bout the time I saved your butt from all those aliens" Ben unconsciously played with her hair. Gwen moaned as he touched her making sure she was safe. That's all she wanted; to feel safe and secure. For some reason she never did when she was with Kevin. His violent outbursts made him unpredictable.

Ben heard lightning strike the Earth each one the same timing apart. He turned to the small window noticing the shadow of the robot searching. He leaned over her grabbing turning off the lamp and holding her tightly. "It's out there isn't it" Gwen mumbled eyes shut afraid.

Ben took a breath in watching the robot search for them. "Yeah, Gwen. We'll have to keep quiet until it passes" Ben whispered deciding it had super sonic hearing. Gwen nodded going with it.

She leaned on Ben's chest as he watched the monster walk around not noticing the barn. Taking several steps in each direction it's red light scanned the area. Ben's breathing stiffened as the red light landed on the barn. On instinct, he bent down his head ontop of Gwen's protecting her. Both winced there eyes as they heard the monster's footsteps drawing closer. He could hear her teeth chattering and soft moans of fear escape her lips. She couldn't go through another fight with the robot. She was afraid of both her and Ben's safety. Ben looked down in sympathy. He shushed her gently keeping her cradled in his arms as the robot came closer. "It's alright Gwen" He whispered into her ear. Gwen winced her eyes nodding as she bit her lip. "It's okay" He whispered kissing her forehead.

SMASH

Gwen's scream was covered by Ben's lips as the robot bursted through the barn door letting in the thick breeze of cold. Gwen's eyes widened as Ben kissed her his eyes closed. Hey eyes began to flutter closed as she sunk into the kiss her head turning to get into a more comfortable position as she kissed him back. Ben's eyes widened as he felt her tongue pierce her lips and enter his mouth.

He was surprised at her affection before he noticed the robot searching the area. Ben grabbed the hem of the blanket pulling it over them to hide them as the scanner came over them. It scanned the blanket before stopping it's light hovering over them. Ben winced his eyes focusing on not moving. He heard the robots feet turn to leave. Ben waited a couple minutes before he pulled his lips from hers. Her eyes were still closed and lips still pouted.

"Gwen wake up" Ben shoved her lightly.

She opened one eye to see Ben staring down at her. "You okay?" Ben asked brushing her locks behind her ear. Ben smirked as he saw her blush. He leaned over turning the light back on to see her beauty glow in the nearby light. "You look beautiful" He whispered brushing her cheek making Gwen's blush madden. Ben chuckled lightly before smirking. "You err...got really kissy there for a minute"

Gwen turned away. Ben sighed placing a hand on her cheek after he noticed a tear on Gwen's cheek. "I'm sorry" She mumbled. Ben was taken back. "I know that you're with Julie and I'm with Kevin but-" She took a gulp in wincing her eyes. "I've loved you ever since we were 10 years old. After the omnitrix nearly exploded and nearly died. When I saw you there in the battlefield it was like the first time I had seen you this way. I was too embarrassed to tell you" She mumbled.

"I had to tell you...just in case I-"

"Gwen you're not going to die. I'm going to get you out of this"

Gwen smiled up at him but it turned down. "You can yell at me if you want. I understand" Gwen whispered. Ben shook his head. "The truth is that I love you too. I've loved you ever since you were 10. You were so beautiful when you slept at night. Sorry, I know it sounds creepy"

Gwen giggled leaning up and capturing his lips. "No, it's nice that you like me back" Gwen smiled playing with his hair. He chuckled holding her tightly. Gwen stared over to the broken door. "We aren't going to late very long with that open" Gwen mumbled. Ben nodded. "The omnitrix isn't ready to work" Ben whispered. Gwen groaned. "I know something else that might keep us warm" Gwen whispered. Ben turned to her. "Yeah, what?" Ben asked. Gwen bit her lip. "Oh," Ben caught on. "But I've never-"

"Me either but it might be the only way to save our lives"

Ben kissed her lips.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" He asked. Gwen nodded. He looked under the covers quickly opening her legs. "Just tell me if you're uncomfortable and I'll stop" He mumbled. Gwen struggled but lifted her hand up and placed it on his cheek leaning up to kiss him tenderly. He pushed into her Gwen instantly winced her eyes in pain.

Ben waited for her to adjust before he proceeded thrusting in and out of her slowly before speeding up to a pace he preferred. Gwen kissed his lips as she moaned. Ben kissed her neck as he straddled her forcing her hands down to her sides and biting her neck. She yelped lightly as he pinned her down. He made his way down her next towards her breasts sucking them.

Gwen moaned leaning her head back as a tingling sensation surpassed her body. He made his way down to her abs leaving a trail of kisses before working his way back up to her lips. Coldness was replaced by the intense heat radiating off their bodies. Gwen's hips buckled as she found herself nearing her climax. Ben grabbed her waist holding her close as he neared his.

Both synchronized, Ben came in her filling her up. Gwen shivered before she felt Ben thick breath on her neck. He kissed her in between breaths leaving marks and bruises on her neck as he came out of her and laid beside her.

"Feel warmer?" He asked as she snuggled up to him. She smirked nodding closing her eyes as she leaned into him. "Never felt warmer and more comfortable in my life" She whispered. Ben smirked as he pressed his whole body up against hers and moved her close to the wall so that she had some protection against the wind. He closed his eyes wrapping his arms around her as he leaned his head into the crevice of her neck and closed his eyes. "Night beautiful" He mumbled.

Gwen smirked closing her eyes. "Night Ben 10, saviour of the universe" She giggled.

He kissed her neck one last time before drifting off into a deep slumber.
