Chapter 5: Monster Moms, bird
Ben had walked down the hall, he had given Rachnera a stern lecture about what had happened. "Seriously Rachnera, that wasn't funny" he said, "oh come on Ben, it was funny, and you know I'm just teasing" she said.
"Look if you want I'll let you do something to get even with me" she said. Ben cringed "Rachnera you know I'm not that kind of person" he said. They then spotted Papi in her room, she had been tossing and turning looking a little distraught. "Wonder what's wrong?" He asked himself, he thought about using Pesky Dust's powers but he really didn't want to invade her privacy.
"Maybe we can have a little looksie" his spider girlfriend said holding the letter from Papi's mother. "Isn't that considered invasion of personal space, although you do have a record of it" Ben said. She then kissed his cheek "you know I do" she cooed, at that moment Kimihito and Miia appeared.
"What's wrong with Papi?" The host asked, "not sure" Ben replied. Rachnera then started to open the letter "Rachnera what did I say" Ben said then the letter dropped out. "Not that you can actually read it, its like chicken scratch" she said. "Okay I have to admit that this writing is terrible" be responded.
Then another piece of paper fell out, "huh what's this?" He asked picking it up, then dropped it and ran to the bathroom to vomit. "Uh Ben what's wrong..." kimihito froze as he saw what Ben picked up. It was a picture of Papi with a man, "uh so Papi was with someone before?" Miia said.
At that moment Ben walked out with WildMutt's head "okay, don't show that picture please" he asked. "I agree with you on that sweetie, I do did not need to see that" Rachnera said.
That's when the Harpy in question started to wake up "uh, why do I feel like this was something important?" She asked groggily. "Oh uh Morning Papi" Ben greeted "oh, morning Ren" she said. Ben's twitched "ben not Ren" he corrected "Ben? Ben, Ben" she said multiple times in a happy voice.
"I think you gave her a new favorite word" Kimihito said, Ben groaned. Then they all heard something land on the roof, "what was that?" The shapeshifter asked. They all went outside and managed to find a tan skinned harpy with bleach blonde hair and feathers.
"Uh looks like we found Papi's mother" Miia said, "Papi, back" the older harpy said. Papi then shivered and then flew away, "AHHH HEY COME BACK!!!" Kimihito and Ben screamed.
The latter had grew Astrodactyl's wings and flew after her when the older harpy took off giving chase. "Papi get back here, don't make me get the bird whistle" Ben yelled. "Papi, Back" Papi's mother continued to say, "no I'm not going back!" She cried.
Ben had flew in front of her and let out a sonic blast that threw the mother linimal off balance. Then flew straight to Papi "got yah", but his victory was short lived when the mother tackled him to the ground.
To protect Papi Ben curled up into a ball using Cannonbolt's powers and slammed into the ground. "Ow" he groaned uncurling, "Papi you okay?" He asked then returned to normal. "Ow" she groaned in response, Ben looked up and spotted her mother attempting to dive bomb them.
In reaction he grabbed Papi and ran like XLR8 to get away. "Dammit how does she keep fallowing us!" Ben shouted still running.
No matter where he ran and his Papi's mom always managed to find them, "mama is probably using maternal radar to find Papi" the harpy guessed. "'Maternal radar?" Ben inquired, "it allows mother harpies to find their kids if they're lost" she said.
"Well this just got Harder!" Ben inquired dodging the mother Harpy. "No I don't want to go back!!" Papi yelled, "if I may ask what are you talking about?" He asked. "We harpies have a rule that we have to move from one place to another and back to our home land" she explained. "We can't stay in one place, Mama wants to take me back", "if that's true then why'd she let you apply for the exchange!?" Ben asked.
"Not sure, but I don't want to leave Boss" Papi whined "don't worry, you wanted to come here" Ben then dodges another dive bomb. "And you're getting your wish" he said, the next five bomb the mother gave Ben dodged then blasted her with Terraspin's wind powers.
Kimihito had arrived and had accidentally caught Papi's mother. As to why I said accidentally, they landed in a very awkward position. Papi's mother's legs were where Kimi's head was, and well, you can make an educated guess.
(Author's Reaction: [>/////<])
"Kimihito..." Ben said while
His voice droned off at the sight. "I... am seeing a lot of things I didn't want to see today" he added. Papi who had also seen this nodded, "yeah... same here" she said.
"Hey I just noticed, Papi, you've been speaking a little more... er... normal for a while" Ben said. And indeed, while they were running through the park, Papi had been saying things like 'mama is close' which escalated to 'mom is right behind us'.
"Really hadn't noticed" she said then took a few steps, then stopped, and stared at Ben. "AHHHH MAMA!!!!" She squealed at the sight of her mother, Ben was slightly baffled then realized something. During the time when Papi was speaking normally, she wasn't moving on her own.
The shapeshifter had been carrying her through that whole chase, and when she took at least three steps. She completely forgot, this habit was also found in some species of birds.
'I guess some would call this mental issue... being bird brained' he thought to himself. The two were brought out of their musings when they heard Kimihito screaming. Looking upwards they saw him being carried by Papi's mother.
"AAAHHHAAAAHHHHHH KIMIHITO!!!!" Ben yelled, "BOSS" Papi yelled. The both took to the skies, once Papi confronted her mother Ben made an attempt to subdue the older harpy with Stink Fly goo. The only problem was, she was in the way also, "Papi, try and grab 'Boss' fast, I'll subdue your mother" he said.
Unfortunately, some how a stray base ball had come out of no where and smacked the alien in the head and made him spit too early. And instead of green goo, Omni spat up green water like fluid which water locked the two's wings.
"Ahhh!? Can't fly if wings wet" Papi cried falling, "help!!!!" Both Kimihito and Papi's mother cried in peril as they all fell. "Don't worry!" Ben yelled flying down, Papi was panicking, she couldn't fly and two people she loved were in danger. The mother she had loved since child hood, and the man she had fallen in love with for the first time.
All she can do was close her eyes, and wait for it to be over, that was until a sharp sound pierced her hearing. "Don't worry" It yelled, she opened her eyes slightly to see a figure heading for them. "I'm coming!!!" It added, in a flash the three found themselves hovering in the air.
The one responsible for saving them, was a large humanoid lizard with hourglass symbols on his body. Papi had went wide eyed, when she was around this new figure just now, she felt... safe. The same safety she felt when she was being cared for by her mother.
And she felt affection towards it, not the same affection towards Kimihito, this was not romantic affection. It was family affection, family love, and right now, she felt as if Ben was truly a part of her family. In slight shock, and relief, once they had landed, the harpy hugged Ben.
Ben didn't know why, but he accepted the hug, what he hadn't known was she said something under her breath. 'Onee-chan'.
As of right now, Papi's mother had explained that it wasn't Papi she was after. "Wait so it wasn't your daughter you were after?" Ben asked, "no it was" she then reached for his pants and pulled out the picture from earlier. When Ben realized what it was he threw up again, "this!!! A picture of me and my husband! It's my most treasure possession" she said kissing the picture.
Both Ben and Kimihito had blank stares, "that was Papi's mother in the picture?" Kimihito said. "Apparently, didn't know they could look that young" Ben commented.
"So does that mean Papi can stay here" She asked her mother, "huh sure after all us Harpies are free wheeling spirits who love to travel. That whole migration thing was getting old" her mother replied.
Papi then cheered "huh looks like this was a whole misunderstanding" Kimihito said. "Seems like it, but hey it's happened to me before. Only it was different, a couple of knights thought an alien was a dragon on account that he looked like a dragon" Ben explained.
"Xenophobics" Kimihito spat like it was Venom, "don't I know it" Ben said equally pissed. "This is great right boss!?" Papi asked, "yeah it is" the host replied. "Right Onee-chan!?" She asked Ben, "uh, what?" He responded, "Papi why'd you call that boy Onee-chan?" Her mother asked.
"Well, when he rescued Papi, Mama and Boss from falling, Ben san felt like family to Papi for some reason. So Papi called Ben Onee chan because he feels like family" she explained. "Uh?" Ben was baffled, "well, looks like you got yourself a little sister" Kimihito said.
"Seems like it, and like with the others, I assume they won't stop so I'm just gonna accept it" he replied. "Really!? YAY ONI-CHAN!!!!" Papi said giving her new big brother a big squeeze. "Well I welcome you to the family, I'll be off" the elder Harpy said flying away.
"My life just keeps throwing me curve balls which for some reason I catch by dumb luck" Ben said. "Well at least I got some company in attractive girls from this" he said petting Papi's head. Kimihito wiped the sweat from brow "well I'm just glad that's over now" he said.
"Huh what's this?" He asked, Ben took a look at what he was holding, then both cringed realizing that it was a type of lingerie. "STOP IN THE NAME OF THE LAW!!!!" A police officer yelled, as it turned out Kimi san accidentally pulled of Papi and her mother's undergarments when they fell.
And that officer was chasing her for flashing people in the park "oh dear" Ben said blushing. "Should we do something about her?" He asked, then as if his question was answered for him Smith and her crew were driving behind with a big lady with a horn holding a big net. "Oh never mind" he said.
