Ben 10: City of Sin

"Hey there hon, careful with that." 

Ben felt hot steam rise into his head as Sasha slid her slender yet strong fingers to one of his backpack straps. 

They had just left the limo into the Sion City Train Station. 

The place was a massive bustling hub of people trying to get to work and not attract a shootout, plated from top to bottom in metal with glowing holographic flickering screens projected this way and that, showing train times, advertisements, painted with random hordes of graffiti in some areas, and stained partially in blood in others, as during less busy times, a murder or two here was not uncommon. 

Light Rail Trains zoomed by on anti-grav tracks powered by Tayden generators.  Ben had never been here before, and after coming here for the first time, he couldn't help but be reminded of the trams from the video game Dead Space, which had once played on a dare. 

But he thought little of that now that Sasha was kneeling in front of him and gently helping him adjust his pack. 

"Don' want that thing getting too loose or tight or it'll mess with arm movement, trust me that's a big deal." said Sasha. 

"R-right." Ben muttered as he felt his face grow hotter. 

With Sasha's particular outfit he could see not only her toned abs, but her slender inner thighs. It wasn't uncommon for women in the city to dress promiscuosly, but she was the first one Ben had ever been up close to.. and the first one to give Ben a pat on the head and a smile in his direction. 

Sasha blinked as she seemed to notice Ben's hyperventilation and she grinned. "Oho.. does somebody have a crush on me? Flattering kiddo." 

"A-AM NOT!" Ben stammered, trying to look away quickly. 

"It's okay Ben, you're at that age where the hormones are really starting to kick, I don't mind, and nobody's gonna judge you." said Sasha with a grin.  "Unfortunately for you however, I am NOT in your age range buddy, so you're gonna have to wait quite a few years before you're in my ball park." 

"So.. IF I was in your ball park.. you'd.. be interested." said Ben carefully. 

Sasha giggled and she clapped Ben on the back. "You.. are so fucking cute. I don't actually know that Ben, maybe- but I'm more into uh.. older men."

"Huh? Aw maaaan." 

"Yep.." said Sasha. "But rest assured I don't think you'll have that much of a problem finding your own gal- ever think about having a girlfriend?"

Ben looked around, trying to make sure nobody was within earshot. "You need to promise not to laugh."

"Kiddo, I once went to a showing of Zombozo The Clown's famous circus.. and didn't laugh ONCE.. weird how creepy that guy is and yet somehow EVERYONE laughs at him when they go into a show.. hell the jokes weren't even that great.." said Sasha. "But.. I'll regard it as impressive nonetheless... lay it on me." 

Ben frowned. "Uh.. sure.. well maybe I'll tell you about Zombozo later but.. one time I did try to.. uhh.. go for a girl-  name was Kai. She.. was more interested in an alien me than.. me.. though." 

"Ooof, rough, but don't worry, you got a more appreciative girl out there."

"REALLY!?" Ben asked. "Who!?" 

Sasha looked over Ben's shoulder, spotting Olivia, who was glaring daggers from out of ear shot, gritting her teeth.

Sasha smiled and winked at Olivia, who blinked in slight shock at this reaction.
