Soooo, hehe, hey there everyone. *Sweat Drop* If all of you can still remember this story after so long, I applaud you. I really feel guilty about not updating for so long, but my inspiration shriveled up and died. Positive side, I am too stubborn to leave a story I loved writing unfinished. So, I am determined to finish this even if it kills me. Remember last time Kevin got caught by Grandpa Max with Ben and Gwen got kidnapped by younger Kevin. So, after all this time I hope you enjoy and please let me know what you think! Enjoy! -I Own Nothing -Lioness002

"What are you doing here? I thought I gave you enough incentive to stay away!" Grandpa Max growled angrily as he narrowed his eyes me. I gulped and stared numbly at the man I respected almost as much as my father, he was a stranger to me now and it was unnerving. No one in this time trusts me besides Ben and Gwen…and now Gwen is gone. Kidnapped by none other than myself. I had to fight back the bile that rose in my throat at the thought of me hurting Gwen. I promised I would never hurt her, and look where it got me. Ben stared between Max and me and fidgeted uncomfortably, waiting for someone to make the first move. "Did you not hear me? What are you doing here?" Max hissed taking threatening steps closer to me with each word.

"Grandpa, he hasn't done anything wrong, let him go!" Ben said trying to come to my defense.

"Stay out of this Ben!" Grandpa Max snapped stepping in front of Ben and putting a firm grip on his shoulder. He stared into his eyes with a determined expression and sighed. "You're young and you don't understand all of this. People don't change Ben, no matter how much you wish they did. This boy is a liar, a thief, a criminal, and god knows what else. You're lucky he hasn't left you to die somewhere." He said glaring at me venomously.

"You can't say that! You don't know him!" Ben said shrugging off Max's grip and fixing flaming orbs on him. "Kevin is my friend and you can't just tell me what to do or what to think! I am an adult Grandpa, and I don't need you telling me what to believe. I know you may think Kevin is a bad person, but he has saved my life more than once! He is part of the group, the family, and I trust him with my life." Ben shouted in a heated rage. I blank at Ben and sucked in a silent breath in shock, I never knew Tennyson cared so much.

Apparently I wasn't the only one stunned, because Max's mouth was hanging limp as he stared at Ben. Ben blew out a breath and rubbed the back of his head awkwardly as he stared at Max. "How - Do you - Why?" Max stuttered as he cleared his throat trying to cool down. "Why do you trust him? How can you think like this after everything he has done to you? I would think you would be thankful for me to throw him in the Null Void where he belongs." He finally managed to bark out.

"Because Gwen and I have been friends with him for years. No matter what you say, that won't change anything. Now please! We have other things to worry about!"

"Like what?" Max asked nostrils flaring. I opened my mouth to say something but he rounded on me and glared threateningly at me before looking back at Ben and sighing dramatically.

"Gwen." Ben said seriously as he gave me a sidelong glance. "Gwen is in trouble."

"What are you talking about?" Max asked suddenly paling.

"She's…" I finally managed to choke out as I gave Ben a sidelong glance and I stared at Max.

"Spit it out!" Grandpa Max roared leveling me with a bone-chilling glare. He took a threatening step closer to me and waited.

"She's been kidnapped." I finally snapped starting to lose my temper. Saying the words aloud just made the situation all the more real. It made me physically sick to think of her in danger, but Max was starting to piss me off. I had gotten too used to dealing with the older and more accepting Max, so every threat, every glare, every insult from him hurt more than I cared to admit. But now was not the time to lose it, now we have to go and get Gwen back.

"What? You're speaking nonsense boy! Stop spouting out your vile lies!" Grandpa Max yelled rushing forward and grabbing me by the front of my shirt.

"I'm not lying." I hissed through my teeth trying to keep my cool. I will not hit him no matter how much I want to. We are wasting time, we need to get going. Every minute Gwen is gone is another minute something terrible could happen to her.

"Yes you are! Gwen is fine, I just saw her a while ago down by the lake. She needed some time to think…or mope over you for some reason. She has not been kidnapped, you are lying." Max said rolling his eyes and dragging me towards to RV and his portable Null Void projector.

"No I'm not!" I yelled ripping away from Max's grip and standing my ground. "I wouldn't lie about something like this. Not when it's Gwen. I know you don't trust or like me, but believe me when I say this, Gwen is everything to me. I will do whatever it takes to get her back safely. It doesn't matter who or what I have to fight or go through, I will do anything for her. I love her. And I know you don't get that, and you won't for years, but I do love her. So can we shut up, put aside our differences, stop fighting, and save her before something terrible happens? Is that too much ask?" I raised an eyebrow in Max's direction just begging for him to challenge me.

Max took in a deep breath acting like he was ready to scream in my face or beat the crap out of me, but Ben slowly walked over to him and shook his head.

"Don't Grandpa, he's telling the truth. Please, we need all the firepower we can get to save her, and we need to be a team if we are going to do it. Let go for now. You two can hash it out once Gwen is safe."

I nodded and clenched and unclenched my fists at my sides as I waited for Max's response. Max's gaze shifted between Ben and me before he let out a deep breath and unclenched his teeth. "I guess you are right. For now…a truce. But once Gwen is back what I said before still stands, I want you out of her life." I bit the inside of my cheek and said screw it. No. I'm not going to let him push me around like this, I don't care about my manors, I care about Gwen. This Max needs to get that through his head or I am going to have to beat it into him…or save Gwen on my own which is quickly becoming more and more appealing.

"I'll stay out of her life when that is what she wants. But until then, I'm not leaving her vulnerable like that again. She's not ten anymore Max, Gwen is a grown woman, she can make her own decisions. And whether it is right or wrong for her to love me, that is her decision and hers alone, you can't make it for her."

"Whatever, let's get the facts straight. Who took her?" Max asked looking between Ben and me. I felt like crawling into a hole. This is sure going to earn me some brownie points, I thought sarcastically.

"Me…the younger me." I sighed rubbing my forehead and waiting for Max to explode. Max ran a hand through his graying hair and nodded like it didn't surprise him.

"I should've known. Now why did you do that?"

"Because I want to toy with her. Make her mine and mine alone. I'm a possessive and messed up kid. I take what I want and apparently I wanted her."

"Why her? Why not the younger Gwen?"

I closed my eyes and blew out a breath. This is all my fault. She is gone because of me and my big mouth. "Because the younger Gwen doesn't love me. The younger me saw Gwen and me together. When you told me to leave, he followed me and stopped me in the woods. The younger me found out that Gwen and I were a happy couple, so he wanted her to accept/love him too…in a very twisted and dangerous way. He's going to make her suffer though, he thinks I am weak because of her. He will take out his rage and twisted fantasies on her, so we need to get to her as soon as possible."

"ALL OF THIS IS YOUR FAULT! Because you couldn't keep your mouth shut, my granddaughter has been kidnapped! How can you say you are good for her?"

I snorted and smirked cruelly at Max. "I never did."

"Kevin! Stop antagonizing him! You are good for Gwen, Grandpa you need to chill out and fight about this later. Now that that is settled, let's go!" Ben snapped already spinning through his aliens.

"Fine, just let me get some supplies." Max called as he ran for the RV. Ben stared at me, made a face and motioned at the RV. I groaned and rubbed my eyes.

"Fine, I'll go help." I ran through the campsite and caught Max outside the RV with the younger Ben and Gwen. If Max was going to do any damage on me, he needed to know what weapons to use.

"It's you! Come back to get your butt handed to you I see." Ben chirped cockily as he sped toward me with Gwen in tow. Gwen's face was a combination of aggravation and plain dislike as she came to stand beside Grandpa Max.

"Pipe down pipsqueak, now is not the time." I snapped irritably as I ran into the RV, pulled out my Plumber's badge, unlocked the secret compartments, and started pulling out Plumber weapons.

"How did you-?" Ben started but I just flashed the badge before continuing my search. "Did you steal that from a Plumber? Grandpa!"

"You asked me during 20 questions if I was a Plumber, I said yes. I wasn't lying. This is my badge. Now shut up and help."

"Why should I?"

"Because your cousin is in danger."

"So, why should I care?" Ben asked callously.

"It is a wonder you survived this long. I would have thought someone would have killed by now considering how annoying and self absorbed you are."

"They try, I always win though. It's because I am a hero. But you wouldn't know much about that, would you?" I froze in place, turned over my shoulder and glared at the younger Ben. His face was full of contempt and I could see his eyes sparkling in delight as he goaded me. I wanted to punch his lights out, but it was pointless. Ben was a moron and always would be. At least later he was a hurtful moron in other people's presences and I didn't have to deal with it as much.

When Max walked into the RV after telling the younger Gwen what was going on, he surveyed all the weapons I had pulled out from around the RV. "What are all these for?"

"For the fight. These will help you exploit my weaknesses." I said shoving some of them all into a bag.

Grandpa Max pursed his lips and fingered one of the guns I had thrown onto the table. "You do realize that telling us this information will make it easier to stop you. To capture you. To send you to the Null Void. You can't seriously be that stupid." I paused in my sorting and turned over my shoulder to stare at Max.

"I'm not stupid, selfless is more of an accurate description. However, don't get the wrong idea, I'm still a terrible person in your eyes, I'm just selfless when it comes to Gwen. Her safety is more important to me than my own. I know you will hurt me, send me to the Null Void, but I don't care. I hope you do. It will save you and me the trouble and get me one-step closer to straightening out. The Null Void was hell, but if I was never sent there I never would have met up with Ben and Gwen years later."

"You want to be put through hell?" Max asked leaning against the doorway of the RV. I picked up the remaining weapons, shoved them into the bag, and threw the bag on the table.

"I want my younger self to pay for what he's done. I want justice for all of the terrible things I have ever done or ever will do. Now stop wasting time and let's go. I'll tell you how to get there."

I walked up to the front of the RV and plopped down in the passenger's seat as Max herded everyone inside. A few seconds later he got in the drivers seat, started the engine, and peeled out of the campground.

I'm coming for you Gwen, you don't need to worry. I will keep you safe at all costs. No one is safe when they mess with my girl. Even me.

Wow, I hope everyone enjoyed this chapter after so long. So, please let me know what you thought and drop me a review. Thanks for reading and I hope to finish this story soon. Haha, yay for me. Thanks again! :)
