[OPEN]
Who: Ben Tennyson and YOU
Where: All over LA
When: Today (March 21st), late afternoon to evening
What: A new resident of Los Angeles decides to get more acquainted with his surroundings - and starts working to get involved in the superhero community.
Warnings: Some violence/child being threatened
Settling into their new home took the Tennysons a lot longer than expected - and Ben ended up so busy as a result that he apparently completely missed out on a chance to punch cyborgs. It doesn't occur to him that that may be for the best.
Of course, the moment he's got some free time, he sets about getting more familiar with the area - as far as he's concerned, living in a huge city like this is a dream come true, especially considering all the inevitable opportunities for crime-fighting.
Late Afternoon
[1]After school, Ben is inexorably drawn to comic book stores and arcades, where he is apparently determined to use all his allowance at once. He will chat with anyone who's interested, though he's only likely to actually approach someone if they happen to catch his eye in some way, either through an unusual appearance or if he suspects they're up to something illegal (though he may give them a by if the illegal activity in question is something he considers 'deserved' or just).
If he finds he can't stop a crime as a human (or if he just really wants to get back at someone because he's eleven), he may duck around a corner to transform.
Evening
[2]He's expected to be home before eight, but he's willing to cut it a little close - after all, evening and night are prime criminal-punching times. He's going to be sticking to the shadows as much as possible now, transforming at a moment's notice if necessary.
[3]He may get bored at some point, in which case he'll probably spend some time just flying around as Heatblast, actively seeking out trouble (more actively than he already was, that is).
Whether he's a human or an alien at the moment, Ben will be DELIGHTED to talk to any superheroes he may encounter, and will go to great lengths to do so.
[OOC: If you have a specific scenario in mind, contact me; if not, then just list the number of your preferred situation in the subject line!]

Whether that actually compared at all to adjusting to living on an entirely different planet was questionable to say the least, but Ben liked pretending he understood other people's problems.
He turned his attention back to the game. "Okay, so, when that timer gets to zero, the fight will start. You just kinda... move around and try to hit the other guy with those buttons."
As "START" flashed across the screen, he moved his character forward, aiming a few low-power jabs at the other figure on the screen and then dropping back a couple steps.

Yet it still made her wonder, what about Earth and other worlds? Earth seemed surprisingly receptive of other lifeforms.
Perhaps it was something she could ask Ben, but for now she focused on the game. She watched Ben hit her character and step back. Her eyes fell to the controls one more and she began to test first the movement, and then the other buttons. She picked on it quickly enough--one made the same punching motion, the other a lower jab like the one Ben had done, and the third a kick.
"I think...I got it."

It's not often that he gets to show someone else how to do something; it's usually the other way around, and most of the stuff that he can teach other people about is either secret, or he has trouble finding someone who's actually interested, so this is kind of a nice change.

"Ready!"
