Your anxiety had been up the roof once you were separated from Ben. Not wanting to risk his death once more, but you knew he was with Jennifer and finishing the task of protecting her that you were set out to do.

Ever since Sparrow Ben had joined with the umbrellas, you couldn't help but let your past emotions catch up with you. Despite this being a whole other Ben from a whole other timeline, he was still your Ben...

Your...relationship, I guess, was kept on the down low, knowing this would only spark drama throughout the siblings. The two of you would sneak away sometimes, sharing a few soft kisses and cuddles before having to re-join the group. Some nights Ben would often ask you to share the stories that umbrella Ben and you had created.

There was no label on the relationship, as you both were still figuring out your feelings, but you both cared for each other and that was clear.

But everything changed when the gang finally found the two. Ben would barely look at you and didn't even pull you aside for explaining what had happened while he was away with Jennifer. You could tell something was off, and it only came out when Luther was scowling the two for disappearing without an explanation.

"Why don't you want him to be happy? You don't control Ben! he can choose what he wants to do in his life, and he wants to be with me, we have a connection..."

Jennifer stood up for Ben, while he stayed silent, not agreeing but not disagreeing either. She placed her hand on his chest, leaning in for a chaste kiss, and all you could do is stand there in shock, eventually before exploding.
