Devlin scrunched his face in disgust as his father, Kevin Levin, wrapped his arms around a certain red-headed part Anodite. "You guys are gross." Devlin said getting up from his seat in the dining room and disappearing out the front door.

Kevin shrugged and swooped Gwen into his arms, "Love you." He said smiling into her glimmering jade eyes.

"I'm telling you Kenny, they're disgusting!" Devlin said his tongue flapping out as he ranted to a young Kenny Tennyson. Kenny put a hand on his friend's shoulder, "They can't be any worse then my folks."

"Ha, seriously doubt it dude." Devlin said sucking his soda in through his straw. Kenny slurped in his smoothie concoction as well, he'd inherited a knack for weird smoothie combinations just as his father did before him.

"How can you drink that stuff?" Devlin asked as he and Kenny walked down the streets of future-Bellwood, flying cars zipping past overhead.

"Hey, it's pretty good! Don't knock 'till you try it, bub."

"Whatever, Tennyson." Devlin said sipping the last of his soda and throwing it aimlessly into the trash. For anyone who had seen Ben and Kevin in their childhood Devlin and Kenny would've been spitting images of their fathers.


Devlin stumbled home his arms outstretched as he yawned. He closed the door, his eyes still partly closed. "Dinner!" Gwen called as she placed three plates onto the dining room table.

Devlin sat in his seat picking up food and placing it on his plate. The Levin family had a normal, if you could say they were "normal" at all, family dinner. Which ended with Devlin burping and leaving rudely.

Gwen looked at Kevin as he burped as well, "What?" He asked as he spotted her burning glare. "He does have my genes ya' know." And with that Kevin left as well.

Gwen sighed and put the plates away. Meanwhile Devlin sat in his room his feet up on his unused desk as he rocked back and forth in his chair.

He stared at his hands for a while and suddenly something pink began to escape from under his skin. He looked at it and fell back in his chair, as soon as he got up he opened his door with one hand keeping his gaze fixated on the dark magenta in the other.

"M-mom!" He said as he stumbled into the kitchen Gwen looked up and dropped at plate as she saw the pink glowing around her son's hands.

"Kevin!" She yelled as she grasped Devlin's wrist. Kevin walked in, a wrench in his hand and an oil-stained rag slung over one of his shoulders.

"Holy shit." He said as the magenta around Devlin's hands grew bigger. "Mom, I thought I only had Dad's powers.." Devlin said his deep brown eyes widening with the mana.

"Um," Gwen said frantically pushing her scarlet hair out of the way. "I thought so too, honey."

"Can't you like made a barrier around it?" Kevin asked his obsidian eyes plastered wide. "I don't think mana can block out mana, Kev."

"Um, what's gonna happen?" Devlin asked as the mana had grown into a remarkable size a lighter shade of pink swirling inside it.

"Dev, sweety, I think you just created a vortex." Gwen said a pink tint glowing around her as she levitated to find the blasted spell book hidden somewhere in the kitchen shelves.

"Am I grounded?" Devlin asked as his hair began to fly in the wind, the portal was sucking things in. Kevin held onto a metal pipe wrapping himself in the armor as the portal drew in pots and pans.

Soon Devlin was holding onto the granite counter to keep from being sucked into whatever was on the other side of the portal. Soon Devlin's grip was slipping off the counter, "D-dad!" He yelled as the last of his fingers let go of the countertop.

"DEVLIN!" Kevin screamed as he let go of the pipe and ran, risking his life, to save Devlin. But it was too late, in some way Devlin was sucked into a portal that he generated.

"Devlin!" Gwen yelled as the pink died down from around her and she fell onto the kitchen floor. "Gwen, I'm sorry." Kevin said his obsidian eyes glinting, as if they were about to stream tears when he looked at the place where the portal had once been.

Gwen collapsed onto the floor holding Kevin's metal-armored arm, Kevin sighed and his skin turned back to its normal state. "Where-where do you think he...?" Kevin asked holding Gwen close as she sobbed lightly.

"I don't know," Gwen said looking at the spot where the bright magenta whirlpool had once been. "I just don't."


Devlin landed hard on the asphalt. His head spinned as he got up shakily. "Where am I?" Devlin asked himself as he looked at a giant screen in a bustling square filled with people and cars.
