Trouble some girl

Happy New Year every one 🥳. Sorry for the late chapter I was busy with family matters and with the holidays so don't get much time to write anything. Hope you guys will forgive me and enjoy the chapter.🫡

The classroom buzzed faintly with the dull hum of fluorescent lights, an unchanging backdrop to the monotone voice of Mr. Daniels. He was explaining the intricacies of quadratic equations with a level of enthusiasm that could put a caffeine addict to sleep. Ben Tennyson slouched in his chair, chin resting in his palm, eyes half-lidded as he traced idle patterns on his notebook. The Omnitrix, secured around his wrist like a secret too big for this mundane room, felt unusually heavy today—like it was itching to be used.

"Ben," Mr. Daniels said sharply, snapping him out of his daydream. "Are you with us?"

"Uh, yeah," Ben muttered, sitting up straight. "Quadratics. Super exciting."

A few chuckles rippled through the room, but Ben barely noticed. His mind was already wandering again. He wasn't built for this—sitting still, listening to lectures about math he could barely pretend to care about. Somewhere out there, a villain was probably plotting world domination, and here he was, solving for x.

He glanced at the Omnitrix. It pulsed faintly, a green glow under the edge of his sleeve as if it agreed with his restlessness. Ben sighed. Maybe, just maybe, something would happen to liven up his day. Until then, he'd have to endure the dull grind of high school like any other kid. The fate of the universe could wait. For now.

As the shrill sound of the bell echoed through the classroom, chairs screeched against the floor, and students surged toward the door like a tidal wave of pent-up energy. Ben was already halfway out of his seat when Mr. Daniels raised his voice, trying to be heard over the commotion.

"Don't forget, homework is due tomorrow! Page 57, problems 1 through 15!"

A collective groan rippled through the class, but Ben barely registered it. He was already slipping into the hallway, the Omnitrix on his wrist subtly glowing. It was finally time to escape the monotony of equations—if only something exciting would happen.

As Ben got out of the school, Gates said he thought, "Finally, I am free and don't have to listen to algebra anymore, now I'm free to fight the bad guys and save the day again." 

"5 hours later".

"Maan where are the bad guy's when you want to kick their ass," thought Ben as he was driving in his motorcycle in a rocky mountainous area, 

For the past 5 hours, Ben had been looking for the bad guys, but unfortunately, he couldn't find any, so to clear his mind he thought about going out on a ride.

As he was passing by a rocky area suddenly heard a "Boom" noise. Ben, looking in that direction, seemed to see something, but it got away from his vision.

Ben, stopping his bike and gazing in that direction, thought, " What was that, and who was that I saw?".

Suddenly Ben's expression broke out into a smile as he spoke his thoughts out loud 

"Wait a minute! Can that be a villain?".

Ben parked his bike at the side of the road, running towards the noise; as he ran, he could hear more noises. 

"Aaaaa".

Suddenly he heard a girl's scream.

Ben's expression became serious as he thought, " Wasn't that a girl screaming, hold on miss, I am coming to save you,".

Ben, pressing on his Omnitrix, selected an alien and slammed his hand on the Omnitrix, transforming into "XLR8".

XLR8, running fast, instantly got to where the noise was coming from; as he stopped up a hill, he saw a Big mutated scorpion monster attacking a girl with blonde hair and weird glasses.

Just as he was about to go to save her, the girl smirked, and her eyes started glowing pale yellow. She gestured with her hands as if lifting invisible weight, and the Rocky bridge above the mutated scorpion lifted in the air.

Ben, looking at this sight, couldn't help but think, " Wait, is she a metahuman?".

(In DC, metahumans are individuals with superhuman abilities, often resulting from genetic mutation, alien heritage, mystical influence, or exposure to strange phenomena.)

The girl brought her hands down and the floating rock crashed over the scorpion monster. Crushing it instantly.

The girl had a look of satisfaction as she looked at the defeated monster.

Suddenly, from the corner of her eyes, she saw a weird humanoid creature gazing at her from up a hill.

She screamed "monster", as she used her powers unknowingly.

XLR8, hearing her screaming, was just about to explain, but he felt the ground beneath his feet crumble.

He ran fast out of there as he Saw the hill was crumbling. 

"Aa," he heard the scream of the girl again.

Looking at her, he saw the hill was crumbling towards her, and she seemed to not be able to control her powers.

XLR8, running fast, got to her, picked her up in his arms, and ran to safety.

As XLR8 was standing at a distance, Saw the hill collapse; hearing the sound, the girl in his arms, who was covering her head with her hands, looked. as if the hill collapsed in the place where she was standing.

She then looked at the one who was holding her, looking at the weird creature. "Aaaaaaa!" she screamed again jumping out of his arms. She pointed at him and said, "Monster!."

XLR8 standing with a disbelieving look, said, " I am not a monster; I just saved you."

 Hearing The scolding. The girl felt embarrassed she Awkwardly twisted her feet on the ground looking down said 

" But.. But you lo.. you look like a.. I mean you look like that".

"Oh, this." XLR8 seemed to realize what she meant, and with a green flash of light, he transformed back into Ben.

He said, "I am usually like this".

The girl looked shocked as her jaw dropped; looking at Ben, she asked excitedly, "Are you, umm.. an alien".

Ben answered, " I'm not.. usually amm, but sometimes".

The girl raised a questioning eyebrow and said, "Sometimes?".

"I don't want to talk about that," said Ben as he didn't want to talk about that. The situation became awkward.

Ben, wanting to change the subject, started introducing himself as he put his hand forward for a handshake. " Hi, I am Ben Tennyson, a superhero".

Looking at Ben's hand the girl smiled and shook his hand and introduced herself too 

" Hi, Ben Tennyson, I am Tera, and I am also a superhero."

Suddenly, Ben's Omnitrix started glowing yellow and beeping. An emotionless voice that sounded similar to Ben spoke.

" Unknown alien DNA detected nearby".
