Another way Ben could react is by just sitting quietly beside her. He doesn't want to disturb her sleep but at the same time, he can't help but stare at her. He starts to notice little things about her that he might not have paid as much attention to before, like the way her hair falls or the expression on her face when she's at peace. This moment could deepen his feelings for her.
It gives fans a chance to explore different 'what - if' scenarios. By seeing the Avengers' reactions, fans can get a deeper understanding of the characters.
His best friend, Gwen, might be initially shocked but then would be very supportive. She could help Ben understand the new social dynamics that come with being a girl. Kevin, on the other hand, might be a bit more awkward at first. He's used to the rough - and - tumble Ben, and this new form might throw him off. But eventually, he would come around and still see Ben as his friend and ally in fighting bad guys.
Ben may be overjoyed. In some fanfictions, he has always wanted a family with Mal. So, when she tells him she's pregnant, he immediately hugs her tightly and starts talking about their future together, like planning the nursery or thinking about baby names.
Some fans might be disappointed. Fanfiction often allows them to explore different scenarios with Naruto's character. If he gives it up, it's like closing a door on those creative possibilities.
Jay could be a bit more awkward at first, but he'd be very protective. He'd offer to train the baby in self - defense when it's old enough, in his own humorous way. And he'd be there to help Ben out with any tasks that need a bit of muscle, like setting up the nursery or moving heavy furniture.
The Naruto fandom would likely be very divided. Some fans would be extremely outraged as it goes against the core values and character of Naruto. They might condemn such a fanfiction.
On the other hand, there would be fans who would welcome it. Maybe they never liked the pairing in the first place or they think it adds an interesting twist to the story. They could start exploring new relationships for both Sasuke and Sakura in their own fan - created stories.
The Naruto fandom would probably react very negatively. Fans are used to seeing Naruto as a hero, a symbol of hope and growth. A fanfic that portrays him as a slave goes against the very essence of what Naruto represents. There would be a lot of criticism on social media platforms, and many fans might even call for the fanfic to be removed or boycotted.
Their friends might be initially shocked. Some of their more cautious friends could be worried about the implications of a child born to such powerful individuals. However, their closest friends would likely be very supportive and offer help in any way they can, like providing a safe place to stay or resources for the upcoming baby.
