Disclaimer: I obviously don't own Ben 10: Alien force….or any other Ben 10 franchise for that matter…..man, I'm so lame…..

Summary: On his Sixteenth birthday a strange alien approaches Ben and tells him he is of Alien heritage other than the Anodite. At first, Ben disregards the aliens comments until strange things start happening to him.

Ali-Chan: Awwwww…*kisses Wife on the cheek and hugs her* I love you to Wife….,but was that really necessary…?

The Doctor-Chan: Yes. Yes it was.

Ali-Chan:*Backs away hands raised in a calming gesture* O-kay…..

Prologue

"Ben watch out!", Gwen cried barely blocking a blast from the strange aliens they were fighting with a mana shield. She shoved the alien into a wall and turned to help her cousin, who had been impaled in the arm by one of the alien's long thorn like spines after the Omnitrix had timed out. His face was barred in pain ,but she knew he would still fight. He'd been hurt worse. Which when she thought about it, seemed like a bad thing.

"I told you to watch out!", she said making her way over to him and giving him a reproachful look. She turned ,abandoning her attempt at first aid to blast another annoying alien across the room.

"Since when does Ben ever listen?", Kevin said smirking at the injured teen while slamming an alien into the ground.

"Hey! I listen!", Ben protested ,slamming the Omnitrix down and transforming into Big Chill. He quickly went intangible and flew through several oncoming aliens ,feezing them instantly.

After several more minutes of fighting they finished off the thorny aliens and Ben transformed back to normal. He swayed dangerously on his feet ,his injury finally catching up to him. Blood stained the sleeve of his favorite green leather jacket and he frowned ,knowing it would be almost impossible to wash out. While he examined his arm which ,truth be told ,was a bloody mess Gwen and Kevin made their way over to him.

"Damn Tennyson, that looks nasty.", Kevin said steadying the now pale boy and helping him to sit down. It was worse then they'd thought. Blood was everywhere and Ben was looking weak.

"Y-Yeah…Hurts a lot too.", Ben replied leaning against the wall and breathing shallowly, his vision swimming.

Gwen immediately crouched across from him and took hold of his arm, examining the thorn. 'Not poison', she thought 'That's definitely good.' Frowning she said." I'm gonna have to rip it out…this might hurt."

Ben nodded and ,after having him take a deep breath, Gwen tore it out. He held in a scream, but couldn't stop his expression from becoming one of pain. It burned like white hot fire ,sending spots in his vision.

"Sorry Ben…", she said when she saw his expression and continued checking the wound." It's gonna need stitches. Kevin, can you get the first aid kit from the car?"

The older teen nodded and took off for the car ,happy to have an excuse not to look at the tear in Bens arm or the expression on the hero's face. He hurriedly grabbed the first aid kit from the car and raced back to the warehouse where Ben and Gwen were waiting.

When he walked in he could see Ben ,leaning against the wall ,eyes closed ,and face pale. He'd obviously lost a lot of blood. Mighta nicked an artery. Which would be bad. Very bad …if Kevin couldn't fix it in time. Gwen turned to Kevin as he got closer and smiled." He's 'just resting his eyes'…."

"Yeah…sure he is…", He said catching her sarcasm and grinning. "So…shall I do the honors of sewin' him up?" He was trying hard not to show his worry. Wouldn't do any good to freak out.

"Please.", she said gratefully ,moving out of his way as he sat down across from their injured teammate. She wouldn't have been able to handle stitching up her cousin. It would cause Him pain and she couldn't bear that.

When Kevin began stitching up the hole in his arm ,Ben opened his eyes and grimaced. He hated stitches ,and since they happened way to often for his liking he had pretty good reason. He felt really weak and his arm was numb. Was that normal? Maybe the thorn was poisoned. After all, it hadn't seemed so bad before ,but now he was on the ground barely able to stay conscious. He glanced at Kevin and noticed he was frowning.

"What's wrong…?", he asked staring dazedly at the raven haired teen, his vision swimming in and out of focus.

"It nicked an Artery…,but don't worry. I can fix it.", Kevin replied giving the other a reassuring grin. That would explain his weakness and numb arm. Blood loss would do that to you.

"Good thing too.", Ben said softly" Tomorrow's my birthday…and it would majorly… suck to…die a day…before my birthday…"

Gwen smiled, leaning down to put a reassuring hand on her cousins shoulder." Yeah it would…,but don't worry. Kevin'll fix you up."

They watched Bens eyes close and their slight grins dropped. Kevin quickly began stitching the Artery back together as carefully as he could while Gwen got bandages ready for when he was done.

When they finished patching Ben up Kevin picked him up bridal style and ,with Gwen's help, got him situated in the backseat of the car.

"I'll sit back here with him…just in case." ,Gwen said softly getting into the back with her cousin and laying his head on her lap. Kevin simply nodded and got into the Drivers seat, pulling the car away from the warehouse and heading for Ben's house, hoping to beat the dawn there so as to keep the injured teen out of trouble.

Throughout the drive He stole glances of Ben from the rearview mirror and noticed that ,as the sun rose the injured hero's skin seemed to glow with a barely noticeable crystalline light. He quickly shook his head and turned back to the road. It must be his mind playing tricks on him, after all, it had been a long night. He was probably just tired. But what he didn't know was that Gwen noticed it too and she too thought it was just her eyes playing tricks on her. After all, Ben couldn't possibly be glowing. That would be insane. It was just a trick of light or their eyes playing tricks on them…right?
