Ben | Gwen Sleepless Nights [better]
Ben's nights are haunted by the villains he faces. Vilgax, a towering chimera warlord who threatens to tear the watch from his flesh, transitions from a daytime threat to a recurring night terror. Ben's bravado during battle is a shield; in the quiet darkness of the Rust Bucket, that shield drops, leaving a vulnerable child terrified of the responsibilities thrust upon him.
