Tennyson's Truth's

At the moment I'm still on the ground, my legs still in the form of sludge, but not controlled at yet, as I still haven't figured out how to control the sludge to form legs again.

"Nico, what happened to your legs?..." Welp, it looks like it's time to just deny everything, 'cause I don't know how else to respond to Penn, right now.

"I-I don't know... L-Lucy, what did you mean I'm like you?...." Sorry, Lucy, for putting the spotlight on you, but in this type of situation it would be the most logical thing to say for a confused kid.

"Is this your first time shifting your body, Nico?" Honestly, I should've expected that type of response, she isn't the least bit concerned about the other two knowing about aliens, she just wants to know more about me.

"Shifting his body? What are you talking about, Lucy?" Sandra decided to ask this question, her confusion makes sense, as this is probably her first time dealing with anything alien in nature.

Lucy didn't respond to her question, it was almost like she didn't care about anything else, as she just walked towards me, and tried to help me get up. "Just think about having your legs under you, and believe that they will be there again."

I did as she instructed, while Penn and Sandra watched confusedly, it took a couple tries, but eventually the sludge started to form two legs for me to stand on.

"There we go! Wow, this is the first time I've had to help someone with that, usually we learn that when we're just pups!" Oh, she thinks that I'm a Lenopan too, also apparently they call their children 'pups' when they're small. Hm, Sandra left the room with a phone, I guess she plans on calling someone, probably Max, to ask what the fuck is going on?

"Pups? Lucy, what are you talking about?" It's best that I try to get her to talk about aliens, or Lenopans, while Max isn't here yet, he'd probably try to make it seem like its a part of a game, or a cultural thing where she's from. Which, wouldn't really change the fact that they saw my legs turn into literal fucking sludge.

"Hm, did Max not tell you about not being human?" And, there it is, the truth that shocked Penn, but shocked me.

"What do you me 'not being human', Lucy?!" The young Lenopan ignored Penn, as she continued to look at me. Why is she just staring at me, and ignoring everyone else today, after my legs first turned to sludge?

"I'm surprised Grandpa Max didn't tell you that you aren't human, Nico." She brought me over to the couch, and sat me down on it, she's treating me like I'm a fragile flower, why?

"W-what do you mean, I'm n-not human?" Well, since she's just going to ignore Penn's questions, I might as well ask them for her.

"You aren't a human, you're a Lenopan, just like me!" And, there it is! The reveal of Lenopan's, but I still need her to say the word alien, so Max won't have any percentage of a chance to hide the truth from the rest of his family.

"What's a Lenopan, Lucy?" Come on, I can already hear the sound of a vehicle nearing the house, I need it to be said before Max comes in!

"Well it's an alie-" Before she could finish the word, Max quickly came into the house through the front door, son of a bitch!

"Nico! I heard that something bad happened...." The words and hurry in Max's voice died out as he saw the me shaped hole in the world, and the sludge that now formed my legs.

"Grandpa, Nico got shocked by this big burst of energy which threw him into the wall, then his legs turned into mud, and Lucy started talking about Lenopan's and ignoring our questions!" Thank you, Penn, for that summary of what the hell has transpired here. Oh, and there's Sandra coming into the room, now all we're missing is Carl, and the whole family would be here.

"Max, what is going on with Nico, and why does Lucy seem to know about it?!" It seems Max was shocked at the situation, whether it was because he didn't expect me to show signs of being part Osmosian so soon, or because even though he tried to keep the truth about aliens from his family, all that work became useless in less than an hour.

"Grandpa Max, what am I? What's a Lenopan?" Sorry Max, but I'll have to add to this fire, because it would eventually burn, doesn't matter if it's today, or in a couple more years, either way they would have to know the truth.

"I-I..... *sigh* looks like today is the day when the truth comes out." Yes, finally, I may have only been here for a year, but it has been extremely annoying to hear Max try to, poorly, hide the fact that he's essentially a space cop!

"Grandpa, what do you mean the truth?" Oh yeah, ha, looks like Penn will find out about aliens before she even gets the Omnitrix, if this is one of those worlds where Gwen doesn't get it.

"The truth, that I've been trying to hide for years now." I'm just going to tune out the stuff that I already know, after all it would just be a recap of everything that I already memorized from the show.

"And, that's the entire truth." Max finally finished telling them about the truth about aliens, the Plumbers, and that I am not a Lenopan, but instead an Osmosian that absorbed a bit of Lucy's DNA when we made contact.

"So, you're telling us that you were some sort of 'space police', and that my adoptive son is somehow part alien?" Its understandable that Sandra hasn't fully digested all the information, I mean her entire world has just been turned upside down, so of course it would take a bit for her to fully believe everything that has happened today.

"Don't forget that I'm one too! But still, I'm a bit sad that Nico isn't a Lenopan like me." Lucy pouted, for some reason, at the knowledge that I wasn't the same species as her, but she continued to hold me like a delicate flower all the same.

"So, Nico's an alien.... THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER!!!!" Huh, looks like Penn is the most excited about the new knowledge. Though, it's possible that she ignored everything else after, 'Nico isn't human, but instead an alien', she was even practically shaking at the news with excitement.

"Okay, one of your reactions I expected, but Penn, Nico, I didn't expect you two to react this positively to the news." Oh, right I forgot to mention, during all of this I was for the most part neutral, until Max talked about Lucy being a Lenopan, and Penn technically being an Anodite, just without the spark needed to be a true Anodite. When he mentioned me not being the only alien, I started to smile at the information.

"Well, I'm at least glad that I'm not the only one that's different here." That was actually true, my body just acted on its own by smiling, I guess the original Nico felt that he was alone when it comes to not being human.

"My adopted brother is an awesome alien that can become another alien if he touches them, and he can basically eat electricity like it's nothing!" To add to what Penn would consider awesome, I ended up sneezing out a frozen breath that turned a bit of the carpet that it hit into ice. I didn't even intend to do that, I should train with my cryokinesis more often to keep that from happening again.

"And, apparently I can freeze things too." Well, Max is shocked beyond comprehension, because from what he knows an Osmosian can only do something like that if they absorb a Necrofriggian (Big Chill Species), and from his knowledge he believes that I've never met one. So, he doesn't understand how I can freeze things this easily.

Penn, and Lucy, however were ecstatic at this information, probably because their minds instantly went to something like free air conditioning, or that I could make them ice cream whenever they want. Finally, Sandra, was just as neutral as could be, it's possible that she's just accepting all this weird shit, and mentally fucked off.

"So, an Osmosian can turn into other aliens, 'eat' electricity, and make ice! Osmosians are awesome!" While Lucy said that, Penn nodded so fast in agreement that she briefly became a blur to me. You'd think that she's part Kineceleran (XLR8 Species) with how fast she nodded, instead of part Anodite.

"But, an Osmosian shouldn't be able to freeze things, or make ice by themselves..." Max said, while looking at me curiously. Now that I think about it, I'm not even half human, I'm half Osmosian and half God, because I'm an apostle of my mother.

"Hm, they shouldn't?" I asked while I made a small crystal of ice the size of a baseball in the palms of my hands, and I handed over to Lucy. She let go of my now cold arm, and held the ice between her hands curiously.

"No, you should only be able to absorb energy, and use that energy as you please..." Max might be thinking that I might have absorbed a Necrofriggian at some point, but me and him both know that, that would've been impossible for me to do, as they rarely appear anywhere but one of their known home planets.

"Well, I never absorbed anything involving the cold, only small batteries every now and again." At my words about small batteries, Sandra finally responded in the conversation. "So, that's where all the button batteries went!"

"Have you ever absorbed energy from anything living, Nico." Ah, he definitely thinks I killed a Necrofriggian, or an alien similar to one, and absorbed it completely to make it a part of me.

"No, why would I? If I desperately need energy then I just grab a battery." Seriously dude, you're already assuming that I'm some cold-blooded killer, and that I've gone completely crazy for energy. Even though you're the one that helped in the process to even get me adopted here!

"Then how could you possibly make ice? Maybe, it's a mutation in your DNA that caused this ability to manifest? Nico, how does your body react to making ice." Once a Plumber, always a Plumber, he's already looking for answers about my ability that goes beyond his knowledge.

"My body gets colder the more ice I make, but it does help with keeping my emotions in check." Oh, that brought a look of relization to his eyes, it was unintentional, but either way cryokinesis does keep me from going crazy like other Osmosian's.

"That's it, your DNA mutated because you're part human to keep up with your Osmosian half!" Ha, I bet he thinks he figured out the biggest mystery in existence, but in reality cryokinesis was given to me by mom.

"I don't know what that means, but I do know that Nico is the coolest person ever!" Aww, Penn, it feels nice to hear the future weilder of the Omnitrix compliment me.

I made a small ice sculpture of a Sumo Slammer character barely the size of my thumb, which took a minute to make as I have only made ice sculptures once or twice in the last year, but since it was so small it was relatively easier to do than it was to make the others that were the size of my palm.

"See, he is the coolest!- Ah! Cold!" Penn tried to hug me for making the small figure for her, but because I had made three objects made of ice, one of which being more complicated than the others, my body was almost as cold as a freezer.

"I told you my body gets colder the more ice I make, Penn." I chuckled a bit at her forgetfulness, while I handed her the small ice figure that I made for her. Being with the Tennyson's is going to be entertaining as hell, of that I am sure of.
