12 Save The Day

"So, buddy, are you prepared to talk?" Ben asked the explosion man who just ignored him. "I can assure you that you do not threaten me. I am more durable to tank your explosion and anyone who can die right now are three of your friends in the rooms next to this one."

"I will not talk till I see my lawyer," he spat out.

"There are three reasons why that is not possible. One, you are a terrorist so no. Two, you would kill him with an explosion or use him as a leverage. Three, you haven't been arrested by the police, we won't commit to your demands. Either talk or we will make you talk, simple," Ben answered him. The man glared at him for a minute before he sighed in defeat. Ben nodded and sat down. "What's your name?"

"Alex Dugrov," he answered.

"That's not a Brazilian name. Where are you from, really?"

"My father was from Sokovia. But, he came to Brazil because of missile testing, your country's missile testing. I sent those arms to one specific place, Stark Tower to give him a taste of his own medicine."

"That's a little dark. Do you know what would happen if other agencies came to know of your little stunt? They would have captured all three of you then made you produce even more 'armed' bombs till you dropped dead for all they cared. The whole world would be in chaos and there would be more people like your father, do you understand?" The man was stunned because he was being lectured by a teenager! But, his anger returned and he glared at Ben even more intensely.

"Let the world burn for all I care, you Americans are pretty fond of that," he growled.

"Yeah, you need to stop with your stereotypes, dude. We love weapons of war the same way we love to use them but we have no love of going around spreading war, those are politicians, men of power. To be honest, if we are given a chance, America would be like Congo, not a day of peace. We have racism, Neo Nazis, corrupt police and many things that will bring us down so if you just waited you would have seen us fall. Anyway, your time's up," Ben said then touched Alex's chest. "This will hurt so go ahead and use all your explosions." His palm started glowing then a sizzling sound followed by smell of burning flesh followed. Alex tried to hold it in but his screams still came and then an explosion that took away the whole building!

"That was a big one, but I believe you still have more in you," Ben said as his palm started lighting up once again.

Two hours passed and by then, all agents were sweating bullets. The explosions coming from where the building was were so scary! They were sure they would all be dead after the first one and now, the number of explosions went past twenty! They couldn't imagine the kind of torture Ben was dishing out and even though they were becoming weaker and weaker, they were still interested explosions so, scary. Ben finally came back and his clothes were still fine though there were a few tears here and there.

"Did you get what we came for?" Fury asked him.

"Yep, guy's name is Alex Dugrov, from Sokovia. He is a mutant who wants revenge on...Tony Stark! Can you believe that! The golden boy has been a little bit careless with his missiles and now one went on its merry way and destroyed his life, making him awaken his mutations due to stress and anger! Apparently, they were about to send about forty arms straight into Stark Tower! They are planning on taking him out and anybody else will be collateral," Ben answered him. "I can take out the plane but then, they sent them away with a commercial airline in case they were found, pretty smart because then we would hesitate to shoot it down. I believe the guy who made them different is on this plane because the arms look like...plastic!"

"Plastic?Plastic surgery! You think it might be a mutant who can make others look like different? Like transmutation?" Fury asked him.

"Yep. Meaning, he might try to stop me and when he realizes that he can't kill me, he will detonate all the arms. Now, I would rather he does that inside a plane than an airport," Ben said. Fury thought for a moment then his gaze became resolute.

"Fine, if you can save the people it would be the best but if you judge that it is not applicable, I want you to blow the plane sky high," Fury said. Ben nodded then took off towards the airspace the planes use. Using his fast mind, he calculated how long the plane must have gone and smiled before accelerating, leaving a Sonic boom behind then four more followed in succession.

A little while later, he saw the plane he was after. With a small nod to himself, he went to the door, wrenched open the handle at ease, making the door fly open and the plane started destabilizing but then he got in as the people were screaming in terror and closed the door behind him.

"Phew, sorry everyone, I tried to make this as fast as possible. Hope you were all having a good day before this," Ben said, making everyone look at him, some with fear, some with hatred and others with just a confused look. "I know you all have questions but they have to wait. Air hostess, go tell everyone in the first class that we have a bomb in the plane. Anyone that tries to go for you, scream, I will be there in a jiffy." As soon as he said that, everyone started panicking as some started going for their oxygen masks and others started unbuckling as they went to check on their loved ones. Ben was looking around, everyone's behaviour been observed with scrutinizing eyes. Finally, he saw a person who was panicking but not because he was afraid but because of something else. In a second, Ben was in front of him, scaring the man that he stumbled back onto his seat.

"You must be the plastic surgeon. What does your mutation work, anyway?" Ben asked and went to get hold of him but he found his arms were gone! He was so surprised he forgot about the man as he looked at his palmless wrist.

"That is so interesting, changing something right from the fundamentals. I'm not bleeding meaning my blood vessels do not end right at the tip of the stumps. So, his power is changing the physiology of a person," Ben said to himself, then, the former stumps started growing a palms at a visible rate till his palms were back. Ben clenched his fists then unclenched. "With this, he could be a world class doctor. Removing cancer and all those other things would be child's play. Too bad." With that, he turned to look at the passengers, more specifically right at a man who was trying to get away.

"I can still see you, more like your aura. Once I have it, I can never lose it even if you are out of the Solar System. I have to say, your power is the most intriguing one I have ever seen. With this, you can make your muscles dense and fight like a superman, or even make yourself heal from any wound in microseconds! Too bad, your imagination is just trash," With that, Ben came in front of him in a second and touched his chest. The man's eyes opened wide as they showed pain and before he could scream, he was turned to ashes then a wave of electricity followed that made the plane destabalise. Ben looked at the scared passengers and smiled.

"Don't worry, I'm gonna take care of those bombs then carry the plane to safety," Ben assured them and went to the cargo hold where he started going through all large boxes till he found the right one. With a smile, he pried open the cargo doors and flew out before increasing his speed and flying to the sky in a green flash. When he was sure he was quite a distance up, he threw the box away then went to the plane that was descending, fast.

"This will be troublesome," Ben said to himself before he flew after it. He went under it belly and got hold before he tried to lift it. The plane started creaking, making him stop for it was gonna break apart.

"I need to hold it at one point that will make it not break in two. I need to cover it all with my ki in order to do this," his mind went into overdrive then he looked at the ground. "Good thing we're in mainland then."

With that, he flew to the nose and making sure he got hold of its nose with equal momentum, he spread his ki to the whole plane as he started flying against its momentum, increasing his strength little by little least he stops suddenly or too quickly, harming the passengers. When the whole plane was finally covered, Ben could feel the fatigue because spreading the ki was mentally taxing but he had to hold on. That's when he realized they were near the ground.

"It's now or never," he said then pushed back with more strength, making the plane slow down significantly and throwing a few passengers who ignored the flashing seatbelt sign to the floor with a few minor injuries. "This gonna leave a mark."

That said, they hit the ground but it was only him doing so as he had the whole plane lifted at an angle of seventy five degrees as his feet dag into the ground, leaving behind two deep trenches for about a mile and when they stopped, the ground was up to his waist! Ben sighed in relief and looked at the pilot and his two copilots.

"Release the landing gear," he said, making them nod subconsciously before one copilot did as asked. Ben threw the plane lightly, making it land on its wheels then he got out of the trench with a sigh of relief before flying away.

"Passengers of this plane are very lucky to be alive thanks to Ben Cosmic. According to an expert's analysation, the explosion would have caused Manhattan to become a wasteland and thanks to his actions, hundreds of thousands of lives have been saved. Ma'am, what can you say to Ben Cosmic if he's watching right now?"

"Thank you, you might not know this but you just saved my and my eleven years old son. We can never give back anything that can amount to what you did to us or everyone in here but you have my deepest thanks," a black haired woman cried as she hugged her sleeping son.

"Thank you ma'am, now as you all can see, Ben Cosmic held up the entire Boeing model plane, a plane so big it would be impossible to even clasp it's nose and he was dragged for a whole mile without even dripping it, saving the lives of more than 600 passengers! We have further confirmed..."

"Good job kid, you just saved an entire city," Fury told Ben as he switched the television off.

"Thanks, can I go to sleep? This whole excitement have me pooped," Ben answered. Fury nodded, making Ben walk to his room. There, he closed his eyes. Others might think he was asleep but he was actually standing in front of his sister.

"Busy first day," Lucy greeted him.

"Yeah, much pressure. So, did you have an amazing day as mine?"

"I can tell you all about it," she told him, trying to hold in her squeal. Ben frowned when he saw this.

"You look like a girl who just lost her virginity and can't wait to tell her girlfriends," he teased her, making her glare at him. "Okay, okay, tell me all about it."
