This story drew inspirations from 'The Night I Became Ben 10' by DriveMaxUltraDynamoZord but without the MC/OC getting the Omnitrix, no that belonged to Ben-or rather Jen in this due to it being an GB Ben, inspiration from 'Gender Misconception' by KlonoaDreams.

Chapter 01: Something's Not Right Here

'What is Death?

Is it the end or just another beginning?

Why am I asking these questions?

Well it's probably because I'm dead.

No not figuratively, I mean dead literally. I'm six feet under. I bit the bullet. Gave my last hurrah. That type of dead.

All because of an asshole that ran a red light while was about to turn on my street to get home.

Sixteen years old and I'm already dead just like that. No warning, no time to realize what was about to happen.

I guess I should explain a bit more than that. My name is Barry. Barry Jonathan, I have blonde hair and hazel eyes-why am I describing myself?'

"I must be losing it." Barry muttered under his breath.

Seriously, how long has he been here? Days? Weeks?

"Time always seems different in limbo doesn't it?" A voice spoke up making Barry chuckle.

"I guess so-," Barry paused, now realizing he wasn't alone and slowly turned to see a dark haired man in a white lab coat, an orange suit on underneath it and black pants, a pair of goggles hanging from his neck. "Wha?"

"Gumball?" The man offered holding a blue one out.

A bit stupefied, Barry gave a hesitant nod accepting the mentioned candy before it clicked. "Wait I've seen you before."

"Indeed you have Barry, although this isn't my first time meeting you but then time has always been strange like that," The Professor said taking a pocket watch out to look at it. "Come on, we must remain on schedule."

Barry blinked and ran after the man who was walking, although it felt like they were going nowhere with the footsteps echoing.

"You're from that Cartoon that I watched as a kid," Barry said wracking his brain to try and remember what it was called. "The one with the alien watch."

"Ben 10?" The man offered earning a grateful grin from Barry.

"That's the one, huh wow this is a very weird hallucination."

"I can assure you Barry that this is very real." The man told him.

"Or it's my mind giving me something to cope with my death," Barry didn't look like he believed the man. "I mean come on you can't exist. There's no way you're the real Professor Paradox."

"Maybe not in your reality but in mine I do as well as other realities Barry." Professor Paradox didn't look offended at all by Barry's lack of belief.

"Alright say that you are real, why are you here?" Barry asked still doubtful but he was playing along. "Are you here to lead me to the afterlife or something?"

"Nope, I need someone to go back in time for me because of a few changes." Paradox said throwing Barry through a loop. "Let me explain, you weren't supposed to die."

"... What?"

"Do you know the theories of time travel? How sometimes a small change can have a monumental effect?"

"Like time fighting back with the change?" Barry asked with a raised brow, earning a nod. "Alright but what did you mean that I wasn't supposed to die?"

"There's been a big change in many of the timelines in the multiverse and somehow they reached your world affecting it on a large level," Paradox explained before he checked his watch. "We really don't have much time."

Barry went to ask something else when Paradox held up his hand. "I can't ask Benjamin because if I send him to this timeline with the way the fabrics of time is now it would make matters worse, you on the other hand can go there without affecting the fabric of reality because you don't exist in any of these timelines," Paradox explained to the young man. "Your death as tragic as you think it is was what allowed for us to have this meeting."

"I think I'm starting to get a headache from all of this," Barry deadpanned earning a shrug. "Alright if this really isn't some hallucination I'm dreaming up, you need me to go help you with something in the past?"

"Precisely Barry." Paradox had a smile that he got it. "You're to fix the damage done in the timeline by helping the Tennysons through their trials when the Omnitrix lands on Earth by sticking with them."

"Stick with them-?" Barry blinked at that. "Uh Professor there's a problem with what you're suggesting, you want me a sixteen year old to force his way into a summer trip with an old man and his two ten year old grandchildren? I'm pretty sure I'm more likely to get the cops called on me than invited."

"I suppose you're right." Paradox mused before pressing a button on his watch, making Barry stumble, his vision clouding a bit while pain seared through him. "There you go, now it won't be a problem."

"What are you-?" Barry stopped at hearing his voice, it was extremely different and that was before he noticed that Paradox was taller than him.

"You had a point Barry, you couldn't do what I needed you to do the way you were," Paradox explained to the now ten year old Barry who had baby fat on his cheeks, wearing a red t-shirt and blue shorts. "This way you'll blend in a lot easier."

"This is weird." Barry muttered looking himself over before scratching his chin a bit relieved to not have any facial hair, he hated shaving.

"Do you still have that gumball?" Paradox asked bringing Barry back to the conversation as he held it out. "Good, while I have high hopes for you to do this that gumball will be your way back to your reality if you choose so, alive and well a good five minutes before the accident giving you a chance to avoid it but without remembering anything that you experienced here and the world I'll be sending you to."

Barry looked from Paradox to the gumball before frowning. "Any particular reason why it's blue?"

"I figured you would enjoy the reference." Paradox said with a straight face.

Barry looked back at the gumball a little hesitant.

Truthfully this was way too weird for him and he was tempted to just eat this if what Paradox said was true and return to his life where he knew what was going on.

In the end he just pocketed the gumball, thinking that if he could use that at any time he might as well see how this goes first and see just what he might be getting into.

A flash of light blinded Barry before he was in a forest with the sun down, Professor Paradox next to him.

"Here we are on the night the Omnitrix lands on Earth, we're five minutes from the crash site," Paradox explained with Barry sneezing his allergies kicking in a bit from the different climate. "Gesundheit."

"Thanks." Barry sniffled, rubbing his nose about to take off before Paradox placed a hand on his shoulder, keeping him in place.

"Barry what you're doing you cannot let anyone know the truth of who you are and where you come from as of yet," Paradox explained in a very serious tone to him. "Not only would it help unravel the timeline at a faster rate if you reveal yourself too soon but you would be in constant danger for the knowledge that you possess."

Barry gulped at hearing that.

Paradox was right, even if he didn't exactly remember much of this show due to it being what, six years since he watched it? But he remembered some stuff and knew that any information he had was crucial.

"Ah right on schedule." Paradox left with another flash of light.

Barry shook his head right as a streak shot across the sky, landing in the forest with a loud noise. "There's the Omnitrix." Barry muttered heading towards it.

While he was walking, Barry paused and wondered what would happen if he got there before Ben?

Barry briefly toyed with the idea about grabbing the Omnitrix before he shook his head a bit ashamed of what he was thinking.

While the idea of having something like that was cool he wasn't going to take something like that away from Ben.

Besides, he was pretty sure if he had the watch the entire world would be doomed.

'Wait didn't it crashland in front of Ben-?' Barry's thoughts were cut off at hearing screaming 'get it off'. 'There we go.'

Barry stopped at coming out of the trees to the crater to see someone jamming a stick underneath the watch they were wearing trying to get it off, dressed in a white shirt with a black stripe down the middle, brown hair, green eyes and a green skirt-... Wait what?

Right in front of him looked like a girl version of Ben Tennyson who turned towards him at hearing Barry step on a stick, coming out of the trees.

'Okay I know I haven't seen the show in awhile but I'm pretty sure Ben was a boy.' Barry had a confused look on his face before the female Ben spoke.

"You alright dude?" She asked a little unnerved by how he was staring.

"Uh sorry, I just wasn't expecting for anyone to be out here like this before I heard yelling," Barry quickly lied, rubbing the back of his head a bit, trying to comprehend what he was seeing, giving a nervous laugh while wondering if Paradox somehow knew about this and didn't feel like telling him. "So I'm Barry."

"Jen," The now introduced Jen said getting back to trying to get the Omnitrix off before the stick broke. "Aw-man."

"What's wrong?" Barry slowly walked over to look at the Omnitrix.

"Just trying to get this thing off, it latched onto me." Jen complained pressing a button causing for the face plate to go up, a silhouette on it. "Whoa, cool."

"Um are you sure you should be messing with that?" Barry asked seeing the silhouette and he suddenly remembered what happened, making him back up. "You did say it latched itself onto you right?"

"How can I not mess with it?" Jen asked rhetorically pressing down on the faceplate.

Barry flinched at the flash of green light that blinded him before feeling heat.

Blinking to try and fix his eyesight he blanched at seeing a tall fiery being with a slender build, the faceplate of the Omnitrix now white on her chest.

Jen looked at her hands before screaming. "I'm on fire! I'm on fire!" She began to run-straight for Barry who understandably freaked out.

"Don't run towards me!" Barry screamed now running from the pyro girl.

He's been burned before working at a restaurant, he doesn't need something like that now and it wasn't exactly helping with his Pyrophobia at the moment.

Thankfully, Jen was quick to calm down despite that when she realized something. "Hey, I'm on fire and I'm okay," She said a smirk coming across her flame face. "Check it out, I'm totally hot."

Barry felt his eye twitch at the pun before his eyes widened when Jen's smirk got bigger and she shot a fireball from her finger to blast a branch off. "Are you crazy?!" Barry shouted making Jen jump as she forgot he was there in her small moment of fun. "You're going to cause a forest fire!"

"Oh right," Jen looked a little sheepish and thankfully the blast on the branch didn't spread much fire so it was easy to put out with Barry stomping on it with some prejudice. "Man I would've been so busted if that happened."

"You're on fire and you're worried about being busted?" Barry asked a raised brow at her.

Jen for her credit just shrugged before she blinked. "Uh how do I change back?" She asked now thinking about that.

"Well you changed into that… Heatb-...Girl-thing," Barry nearly slipped up on calling her Heatblast. "So in theory you must be able to change back."

Jen nodded, seeing how that made sense. "Uh power off?" She tried looking at her hands. "Fire bad? … Flame off?"

That last one just made Barry stare as he wondered briefly if they had Marvel comics here before Jen gave a yell of frustration.

"Change me back," Jen snapped at the symbol on her chest. "As cool as this is I don't want to be fire girl forever!"

'Wait.' Barry looked at the dial confusing Jen.

"Hey you pressed that to change, can you press it again to change back?" Barry asked remembering that from Alien Force, but he didn't know if it would work for Jen this early.

Willing to try anything to turn back, Jen slapped the symbol only for nothing to happen.

"There went that theory." Barry muttered, leaving Jen to sit down, cross legged in the dirt so she wouldn't burn anything. "We might need some help-."

"Grandpa!" Jen exclaimed hopefully and took off, confusing Barry before his eyes widened.

"Wait Jen!" Barry ran after her cursing his age as his legs were too short to keep up with her as Heatblast. "How are you going to explain this?!"

Maybe he should've let the forest fire happened as it just got the explanation out of the way when Gwen and Max Tennyson fixed it-.

Barry just had the slight fear of Gwen and Max being as different as Jen was before remembering that she yelled 'Grandpa'.

Gwendolyn Tennyson, a ten year old girl with ginger hair wearing a blue shirt and white shorts was bored while typing on her laptop with Grandpa inside of the RV.

She had her whole summer planned out for a different activity on a day before her Grandfather told her parents that going on a summer trip with him and her tomboyish cousin would be a good idea.

Don't get her wrong, Gwen loves Grandpa Max but this was just pushing it-.

"Grandpa!" Gwen looked up at the voice finding it a little familiar only to see something that was on fire burst into the clearing, making her scream.

That scream brought Maxwell Tennyson, a man in his early forties in a red vacation shirt and tan pants. "Gwen? What's-." He stopped wide-eyed at the fire being. 'A Pyronite? Here?!'

"Stay back!" Gwen warned the Pyronite who raised her hands in defense before giving a start at her hands, seemingly forgetting she was on fire when she ran in. "I'm warning you-."

"Don't even try it freak," Jen warned her and the way she said it caused for Gwen to pause.

"J-Jen?" Gwen asked earning a nod. "How did you-?"

That was when Barry burst through the woods surprising Gwen and Max with him panting like crazy, stumbling while holding his side. "Oh man I am way out of shape," He wheezed before coming to a stop right next to Jen, hands on his knees. "Y-You run way too fast Jen!"

"Oh sorry Barry." Jen apologized feeling a little bad that she forgot him back there in her panic and went to give a pat on his back despite Max's warning, catching his shirt on fire.

"Gyah!" Barry panicked dropping to the ground, rolling around to try and get the fire out.

Jen gave a weak chuckle at that, taking a few steps back from everyone to avoid any more mishaps.

Once the fire was out, everyone was gathered around a campfire, Gwen holding a bag of marshmallows that she tossed to Jen, her touch frying them.

"And you say that this watch just jumped up and clamped onto your wrist?" Max asked making sure he heard correctly.

"Hey this time it wasn't my fault," Jen protested eating the marshmallow. "I swear."

"I believe you Jen," Max reassured his granddaughter before looking at Barry who kept quiet throughout the conversation. "And you are?"

"Barry, I met B-Jen in the woods right before she became this fire-thing although I missed the watch clamping on her," Barry explained looking a little nervous, he really had to be careful in how he talked here. "When she changed I was trying to help her change back."

He didn't mention anything about the near forest fire and he saw Jen give a sigh of relief at that.

"That was nice of you," Max said giving a smile to the young boy. "But where are your parents?"

"I-... I don't know," Barry looked down trying to find something to say before deciding on something. "I just woke up in the forest only remembering my name."

"Wait, you have amnesia?" Gwen asked in surprise while Barry gave a nod feeling a little sick at lying like this but it wasn't like he could just say 'Hey I came from another world where you guys are a cartoon-oh and Jen is a boy in that cartoon.'

"That doesn't sound good." Max said a bit carefully thinking that either Barry was telling the truth or he ran away from home and neither of them seem like good situations.

"So does anyone have an idea on how to change Jen back?" Barry asked changing the conversation back to Jen who looked at her hands.

"Yeah is she going to stay a monster forever?" Gwen asked only for Max to input.

"She's not a monster, she's an alien."

Both Jen and Gwen stared at Max who realized his slip-up before Barry spoke up. "Makes sense, Jen you said that came from the sky?" He asked earning a nod from Jen.

"Yeah when it crashed right in fr-." Jen stopped when a beeping could be heard and the symbol on her chest began to glow red with each beep.

A second later and a flash of blinding red light making Barry grumble in annoyance, Jen was back to normal as she smiled. "Alright, I"m me again!"

"Aw too bad, I liked you better when you were a burkett." Gwen muttered holding the marshmallow.

"Huh so it's a timed feature? Nice." Barry spoke up adding his two cents in while stating the obvious before seeing Jen trying to get it off again. "That's how you became Heatblast in the first place who knows what else will happen if you mess with that!"

"He's right Jen, you better not fool with it anymore until we know exactly what we're dealing with," Max said picking up a flashlight. "I'll go check out the crash sight, you three stay here until I get back."

As Max walked off, Jen realized something. "Wait did you just call fire me 'Heatblast'?" She asked making Barry tense.

'Oh great I did slip up.' He thought a bit panicked.

"Well I couldn't keep calling it fire girl so I figured why not?" Barry laughed a bit nervously hoping that he wouldn't mess anything else up. "I'm guessing you don't like it?"

"No the name's cool." Jen looked at the Omnitrix with a grin that scared Barry.

'Maybe I should take the blue gumball home.' Barry thought, his face falling as he repeated those words in his head. 'Does the fact that I thought that like normal make me crazy?'

"Jen." Gwen's voice had a warning tone to it when her cousin began to twist the dial.

"What? You can't tell me that you're not curious in what else this thing can do." Jen commented biting it now. "Come on Barry back me up."

"Uh I'm staying out of this." Barry said placing his hands up.

"I'm not curious at all." Gwen said looking away to hide her face at the lie.

Jen however stared at Gwen in disbelief. "You sure you're related to me?" She then shook her head. "But if I can figure this thing out I think I might be able to help people."

"What like a superhero?" Gwen asked in disbelief. "I think those comics rattled your brain."

"You're just jealous." Jen said not caring, a grin on her face.

"Uh Jen you I've only just met you but I think you're more the type to rush head on without thinking things through fully." Barry tried to be tactful and ended up coming out blunt.

"Hey that's not true," Jen protested, ignoring the cough from Gwen who agreed with Barry. "Name one time-."

"When you wanted to test your fireball in the woods," Barry deadpanned earning a wince from Jen while Gwen looked a bit scandalized. "Then you ran straight here without thinking on how to explain your fiery situation-in fact I'm amazed it went well considering."

"Hold up, go back to that part about the fireball." Gwen looked between the two.

Barry sighed. "I'm not saying don't help people if you want to more power to you, but just be sure to think before you act," He said making Jen look down before giving a grin when the faceplate went up, showing it was turned on. "Oh crap."

"Hey I figured out how to do it," Jen turned the dial to see other forms. "Should I try it again, just once?"

"I wouldn't." Gwen tried to say earning a scoff.

"No duh you wouldn't."

"Jen wait-." Barry tried only to be blinded by the green light again. "What's with these flashes of light?!"

Shaking his head he could see Wildmutt standing there, not really looking that much different really with Jen giving a small growl.

"Ew this thing is even uglier than you are normally." Gwen commented at seeing the slobber going down Jen's. "Put a flea collar on this mutt."

Jen didn't like that joke and growled at her.

"Gwen I think you shouldn't antagonize the dog-like alien that's taller than we are." Barry said despite knowing that Jen wouldn't really do anything too bad.

"And no eyes?" Gwen asked not really listening while she waved a hand in front of Jen's face. "What good is this one if it can't even see-?"

Gwen went silent looking from Jen to the marshmallow on a stick she had before a smirk came across her face.

Barry said nothing and took a step back, intent on watching this considering he did warn Gwen earlier.

He wasn't disappointed when Jen jumped right as Gwen swung to smack her in the butt with the stick, her cousin landing on the RV with a grin, no doubt her other senses picked up on Gwen falling over.

"Okay so maybe it's not a total loser."

"Quite the Wild-Mutt isn't she?" Barry quipped a grin on his face, trying not to laugh, but Gwen saw it and gave a glare before Jen landed right in front of her.

"Ugh, two words." Gwen coughed, pinching her nose. "Breath mints."

Jen's response was to kick dirt at Gwen before running off.

"And there she goes without thinking again." Barry deadpanned, not chasing after her this time.

Gwen however yelled after her. "Jen?! Get back here! I'm going to tell Grandpa that you went swinging around in the forest as a giant animal thing when he told you not to!"

Barry looked at her, a bit surprised that she said that in one breath while she processed what she just said.

"This is turning into a majorly weird day." Gwen muttered about to take off before looking at Barry. "Stay here just in case Grandpa comes back."

Barry blinked but she was gone before he could say anything. "Oh great, leave me with the explanation," He muttered, not seeing Max walking up behind him. "What am I supposed to tell him? That Jen turned into some ape-dog thing and went Tarzan on us?"

"Jen did what?" Max asked eliciting a scream from Barry who jumped a foot into the air, stumbling a bit when he landed and turned to see Max have a frown on his face.

"E-Exactly what I said?" Barry tried nervously.

It took a good twenty minutes before Jen and Gwen came back to the RV where Max began to lecture Jen on what happened after hearing on how she was attacked by two flying robots.

"I figured you would get popular with that thing on your wrist, that's why I told you not to mess around with it until we knew what the heck it is." Max said with both Jen and Gwen sitting at the small table while Barry felt a bit awkward, sitting in one of the chairs.

"Sorry Grandpa," Jen muttered looking down before smiling. "But at least I figured out how to make it work. All you have to do is press this button, then you just have to twist the top to the guy you want to be, slam it down and blammo you're one of ten super-cool aliens. So far I got Heatblast and-hey Barry what was it you called me as the dog earlier? A Wildmutt?"

Barry coughed a bit at the attention being on him. 'At this rate I might not last until I'm not needed.' He thought, giving a nod.

"What about staying an alien dude and not transforming back into pizza face?" Gwen taunted with a smirk, clearly remembering how she saved Jen's hide from the second robot when she changed back to normal.

"I kind of haven't figured that part out yet." Jen muttered a bit down.

"Maybe you should have someone count how long you're in a form if you ever use it again?" Barry suggested with a smirk. "Try and find what the time limit is if it's running on one?"

"He's right and with a device as powerful as that clamped onto you we better help you learn fast." Max suggested surprising the girls before Jen gave a cheer.

Jen's good mood was short-lived when the radio they had inside of the RV went off. "Mayday! Mayday! Send help, we're under attack by some sort of-I know you're not going to believe me but a robot!"

"Oh that's not good." Barry said a bit fearfully.

"That sounds a lot like the thing that attacked me," Jen realized looking at the Omnitrix. "Those people are in trouble because of me."

Max raised a brow when Jen stood up.

"I think I can help them."

"Uh you?" Gwen looked at her in disbelief. "And what are you going to do about it Tennyson?"

Barry coughed, getting her attention. "Did you forget about the alien watch on her wrist?" He asked pointing to it while Jen smirked.

"Come on." Max said to the three of them.

It didn't take long for them to hear the panicked sounds as they ran before Max gave Jen the signal she needed to mess with the Omnitrix.

This time Barry closed his eyes as she changed into the Petrosapien, it looked the same as from the first season, with green diamond-like skin in a suit that was black on the left while white on the right, four diamond spikes sticking out the back, the only difference beside being skinnier was that Jen was… Developed in the chest area.

Barry was extremely grateful that he didn't have to deal with hormones at his age right now, shaking his head at the majorly weird thought when Gwen spoke. "So what does this one do?"

"Don't know but it'll be cool," Jen commented with a deeper, feminine voice feeling the strength in this form and just had a feeling that it was the right one for the job before she gave Barry a look. "Got a name in your head for this one?"

'Did I really set myself up to name all of her forms?' Barry thought with a deadpanned look before sighing. "I dunno, Diamondhead or something?"

Jen grinned. "I like it," She clenched her fists. "Time to show why Diamonds are a girl's best friend."

"Did she really just say that?" Barry asked while they ran out to see the giant red and orange robot firing lasers at the cars where people were fleeing from the carnage and destruction in fear for their lives. "I think I might need a new pair of shorts."

"Look's like Papa Robot this time," Diamondhead commented with a wide-eyed look. "I'll get gear head's attention, you guys focus on getting people out of here."

Barry had no problem with that as he was rightfully scared out of his mind.

Max agreed with Jen's plan as well, motioning for Gwen and Barry to follow him.

"Hey be careful doofus." Gwen said looking at her cousin with some worry.

They may not get along but she didn't want her to get hurt.

"Don't worry dweeb I'll be fine," Diamondhead promised with a grin before running out right as the giant robot picked up a park ranger. "Hey leave him alone! You want someone to pick on? Try me."

The robot paused, clearly hearing her and turned to see her, it's optics zooming in on the Omnitrix faceplate on her chest. Acquiring its target, the robot dropped the Park Ranger onto the hood of a jeep before it raised up a hand and blasted Diamondhead back with a laser.

"Oh that has to sting." Barry muttered helping a little six year old girl along with her four year old brother while Max was getting their parents out from their wrecked car, really it was amazing they were alive at this point.

"Think she can handle it?" Gwen asked with a baby trying to find the parents, a worried look towards the truck that exploded when Diamondhead slammed into it.

"At this point I think she's the only one who can." Barry said with Gwen nodding in agreement. 'And the last thing she needs is us distracting her.'

He just hoped Jen figured out how to beat the robot quickly.

Diamondhead meanwhile stabbed through what was left of the vehicle with her arm that was now a crystal blade, amazed that she survived. "I'm so glad I chose this form," She muttered looking at her sword arm. "Cool."

Hearing stomps, Diamondhead's focus was immediately shifted to where the Giant Robot was approaching her and she gained an idea.

'If I'm strong enough to slice through that car so easily I might be able to do the same to you.' With that thought Diamondhead ran right at the robot and swung her blade arm, but the robot jumped and spun it's legs before crashing down right into her. 'Oh I'm definitely going to feel that.'

The robot had her pinned right now. "I think I might be in trouble." Diamondhead muttered worried about the situation where she might not be able to win and that's not counting how much time she had before the watch timed out on her.

"What is going on here?" The Park Ranger asked in disbelief when Max helped him off the roof of the jeep after Gwen and Barry found the parents of the kids.

"You'd probably wouldn't believe me if I told you." Gwen told him while Barry shook his head.

"Even seeing it I don't believe it." Barry muttered, still not sure if he was really here or if he was just cooking up one hell of a story to cope with his death.

"Now come on." Gwen said taking off, the Park Ranger hesitated for a bit but after nearly being flattened by a flying Diamondhead he didn't waste anymore time.

That was just about everyone out of the park, leaving for Gwen to turn back towards the fight right as a nearby tree was hit and sent falling towards Gwen.

Eyes widening, Barry tried to pull on Gwen's arm to get her to move with how frozen she was before Diamondhead got in front of them, a large crystal forming from her back to slice the tree in half leaving a stunned Gwen while Barry looked ready to have a heart attack.

"So we even?" Diamondhead asked earning a nod from Gwen.

"Even."

Barry blinked. "Well I owe you now." He realized before a mechanical hand grabbed Diamondhead who barely had time to let out an 'Uh-oh' before she was pulled back where the Robot grabbed her left arm.

Not liking that, Diamondhead repeated what she felt when she hit the truck earlier and her arm became a blade, slicing clean through the robot hand.

The robot just looked at it's destroyed arm before it used it's remaining arm to blast Diamondhead right into the restrooms on the campsite.

"Yeah, he's angry." Diamondhead muttered pushing herself up with the buildings in flames. "How do those superhero comics make this look easy?"

Turning both of her arms into blades right as another laser slammed into her, this time she struggled to hold her ground, barely noticing how a part of the beam bounced off and almost hit the others, the surprise of the discovery sending her back a bit.

'So I can rebound the attacks?' Diamondhead thought before remembering something Barry said before all this craziness began.

'Think before you act.'

This whole time she's just been reacting. That was all she's been doing ever since finding the watch and just running in hasn't been doing any good, especially with the limited time she has.

"I got it now," Diamondhead ran out and began to mock the robot. "Is that the best you've got tin can? Come on burn on right here."

"Is she out of her mind?!" Max questioned in horror. "Get out of there!"

"Jen!" Gwen called out while the robot aimed it's arm at Diamondhead.

Barry kept quiet with a relieved look. She had this.

Diamondhead slid back when the beam hit, putting up her hands in time with them forming together, the beam beginning to rebound. "What goes around, comes around Robotnik." She taunted the beam slicing right through the middle of the robot.

The beam stopped immediately before the robot exploded from the attack, leaving Diamondhead to stand there some of the flames giving her crystal skin a sparkled look.

"Way to go Diamondhead!" Barry called out right before Max could call out her name even if he would catch himself in time.

Diamondhead then did something that caused the three to groan. "Oh yeah who's bad?" He jumped into the air and landed with a bit of a thud before realizing the problem. "Well I think my work here is done."

'Yeah I think she just lost all points of badassery in three seconds.' Barry thought with him sneaking off with the others.

Needless to say after that whole mess, everyone was tired and went to bed inside of the RV due to how they never got the tent set up.

Seeing her cousin Gwen asleep along with Grandpa Max snoring, Jen sat up and looked at the Omnitrix before seeing the sleeping form of Barry.

"Barry you awake?" Jen whispered, earning no answer causing for her to sigh. "Hey I just want to say thanks, for the advice you gave me earlier, it really helped in the long run. You're a pretty cool dude, most people would've ran away screaming the second I changed into Heatblast."

Jen went silent remembering how Barry said he had amnesia before smiling.

"I think you should stick with us, we're going across the country we're bound to find someone who knows you, maybe we'll fix your amnesia?"

Giving a yawn, Jen figured she probably talked long enough.

"Well goodnight, and thanks again."

Unknown to her, Barry was awake and heard the whole thing, a look of guilt on his face due to how she basically offered to help with his 'amnesia' when it was just a cover for why he was really here.

Barry couldn't believe it when he woke up the next morning still there while Max and Gwen were packing up from the camp.

Looking towards them, Barry sighed and dug into his pocket where the gumball was and looked at it.

He was extremely tired from what happened-and he didn't even do any fighting-too many close calls hell how did Jen not freeze up during the fight?

'It's probably better for me to go back to my world.' Barry thought looking at it, Jen's one-sided conversation from the other night fresh in his mind before hearing his name being called.

Quickly pocketing the gumball, Barry ran out to see Max looking around. "Have you seen Jen?"

"Nope." Barry lied, knowing fully well what she was doing-if it was the same here.

A sonic boom could be heard as a black and blue blur could be heard before it came to a stop to show Jen as a semi-armored Velociraptor with some type of helmet.

"Jen?" Max asked, not sure about this one.

The visor slid up to show Jen's face that had a wide grin. "Yup, check this out."

With that she took off running, the visor sliding down first and in a few seconds everything was in the RV right when she changed back, brushing dirt off of her knees with a smile on her face.

"I think this is going to be the best summer ever."

"Absolutely." Max had an amused grin while Gwen looked unsure.

"It's definitely going to be interesting."

It got a bit awkward before Barry sighed.

He might as well say goodbye. "Well last night was pretty crazy," Barry said rubbing the back of his head. "I hope you guys have fun."

"What are you talking about, you're coming to right Grandpa?" Jen looked from Barry to her Grandpa who cupped his chin in thought.

"Grandpa I don't think I can watch Jen by myself this whole summer." Gwen said a bit nervous about the idea of doing so considering what Jen can do now.

Max gave a chuckle. "Come on." He said surprising Barry.

While he knew it might be better to just bring Barry to a police station and hope they find his parents he wasn't blind to see how Jen and Gwen didn't argue as much when he was speaking with them, a mediator between the two.

Plus the kid was growing on him.

Barry blinked before giving a smile.

Maybe a few days wouldn't hurt.

To Be Continued…

Took awhile to type and I hope this chapter was enjoyable to the first part of 'Into the Omniverse' with the references from the Matrix with the blue gumball to how different things were shown with Barry's involvement in the first episode.

I figured that Paradox while he brought Barry there would leave him with the choice of being able to go back-which he might take someday-and what better way then with one of those gumballs he always seemed to be offering.

And Barry I hope his personality was a bit enjoyable. A nervous smartass who hasn't really been in a fight so I think he did pretty well considering everything that happened.

So tell me what you think?
