Chapter 14:Talk with gramps

(MC P. O. V.)

"Finally it time" I thought as the day I have been preparing for past 10 year is finally here.

I packed my clothes and food for camping . I didn't pack many tech just as I can just teleport and bring important stuff later because if grandpa asked me why I am carrying guns on trip I can't say it is for vilgax.

Then I started checking if I have everything I needed for camping trip.

Clothes -check

Food-check

Money-check

Toothbrush -check

Laptop-check

Iron sight-check

Camera - check

Ironspider -check

Anti gravity gloves -check

I was first planning to give gwen iron man suit but I scratch that idea as it may take gwen attention from magic. So I will give her anti gravity gloves with 1 hr time limit. So she don't became to depended on it.

When ben gets Omnitix . I planned to beat the shit out of ben in his pyronite form. As a revenge for the prank he pulled on me when I was sleeping bastard put itching powder in my private parts.

Now I was waiting for grandpa Max to pick me up he soon came and I went inside rustbucket

Grandpa looked at me and said " Excited for the trip, minato".

I looked Grandpa Max and said " It is going to be a blast. " Grandpa laughed at my enthusiasm and said " Somebody is excited ".

" Somebody have to be, knowing gwen she would already have made her plans for summer long ago and aunt Natalie would have forced her to join us and I know ben would be excited but when he would see gwen his excitement would die" I said .

Grandpa looked clearly impressed by my analysis and said "you can be one heck of a plumber ".

Then I said " They can't afford me. And while we are at that topic I have something important to talk about. " Grandpa looked at my serious face and frown while asking. "What is it".

" I think that gwen has spark in her" I said. Grandpa looked at me and was silent for a long time before I said " It was easy for me and himawari to adapt to our power because we were kids and my parents were plumber but gwen is 10 and aunt Natalie is strict . If gwen awake her powers she will hide it from her mother."grandpa already knew what can happen if Gwen's power goes unchecked.

Then grandpa looked at me and asked "What do you think we should do".I nodded and said " I can't stop her from awakening the spark but I can accelerate the process. If we activate her power during summer trip I can help her get use to them and then later she can ask mom for training." Grandpa nodded in agreement and then said " There is just one problem. What are we going to do about him ".

" Though ben don't spark his mana reserve are far greater than normal human if he train he can make simple construct in an year or two" I said. Max looked at me and said "Gwen is a responsible child but ben is immature if you teach him mana manipulation it will cause problems. "

"We can't hide this from ben if we are going to train gwen. And if ben know about mana he annoy me to death . Last time I didn't did what he wanted he put itching powder in my privates" I complained .

Grandpa looked at me with disbelief and said

"You are going to teach one of world most dangerous technique to ben. Just because you are scared of his prank".

I looked at him with annoyed face and said " I am not scared of his prank I am scared that I might punch him in anger " Grandpa knew my physical strength and didn't say a word.

We soon arrived at gwen's house and went inside to talk to gwen's parents and I helped gwen carry her luggage in the RV.

Gwen complained "I can you believe it that we have to cancel our summer plans because of this stupid trip with ben. "

I said "I just had one plan to visit a music festival with my friends and asked grandpa if he can adjust the trip he said sure. So my plans are technically not cancelled. "

She looked at me and said " Atleast somebody is happy "

"Yeah because ben won't be when he see you, you both fight like cats and dogs when you both see each other. " I said.

"Not everyone is a born adult like you, Mr" Gwen shot back

"They should be, alas not everyone can be like" I said jokingly.

"Yeah whatever" Gwen replied

We started our conversation and soon grandpa Max came in and nodded at mean and said "let's go pick up your cousin, shall we".

" Can we not" Gwen said pleading. Max just ignored her and drived to ben's school. Where we saw ben and a random dude being hanged up by their underwear. I quickly taked a photo of that and Gwen looked at me and said "you are so giving me that ".I just nodded.

Grandpa helped ben and the kid. Ben came in and said " What are you doing here " While looking at Gwen.

"Wasting my summer going on a trip with you apparently" Gwen shot back. They both started to argue with each other.

I silently sliped next to grandpa as he looked at me and said "you are not going to stop them".

I looked at them with a smile and said " No I don't think I will ".

While we were going to the camp site. I got an idea and said to grandpa Max " Grandpa I have started to learn cooking recently so how about we play a game . Today we both will face of in cooking winner gets to cooks for entire summer vacation. " Grandpa raised and brow and said "I don't have a problem with that but I didn't know you were so into cooking. "

"I just want to gain other opinion about my cooking and get experience " I lied. Grandpa laughed and said "is that so how about I teach you some of my exotics cuisine , if you win. " Max said happily.

I didn't wanted to learn all of Max dishs but only some like crocodile and some alien cuisine.

When we reached camp site ben and Gwen asked me "hey, minato tell us the real reason you challenged grandpa it can't that you want experience it's definitely something else, is grandpa a bad cook"

I looked at them and said " Grandpa Max is an amazing cook if he cooks normal cuisine instead of his exotic cuisine, you find out soon"

I prayed for their tongue and sighed that I was a contestant not a judge.
