Gwen Tennyson Kevin, this Elena Valadus. She's a plumber's kid like us.
Not like you, Gwen. None of my ancestors were aliens. I don't have any cool powers to rely on.

Scenes with Gwen Tennyson
17 scenes Gwen Tennyson Gwen Tennyson Ben, did you ask Grandpa Max if we could use the Comm Center?
Do you want to start solving this thing or look for a permission slip?
Come on, it's open.
Gwen Tennyson It's open, huh?
It's open now.
She's one of us.
Gwen Tennyson She was one of us. You have no idea who she is now. You can't trust her.
Evidently, I can't trust anyone. I can't even trust Max.
Gwen Tennyson Hey Grandpa. We can't trust you to make soup without putting in baked moths or lizard gizzards in it.
Mmm. That sounds like a pretty good combo.
I order you stay away from her!
Sorry Max. I'm not following that order.
Gwen Tennyson Ben! You can't break plumber ranks! Max, don't let him do this.
It's not up to me. He's made his choice.
Kev?
Somebody's gotta stay here and look after the old man.
Gwen Tennyson Kevin! Stop him!
Don't worry. I can take care of myself.
Gwen Tennyson Can you trace the Hive's energy signature?
Your wish is my headache-inducing project.
I could figure out the password.
Gwen Tennyson That would be a huge violation of trust.
And regulations. Well, I guess Ben is really on his own this time. I'm sure he'll be fine. I mean he's all grown up and everything.
Gwen Tennyson [Long pause]
Break the code.
Gwen Tennyson (Kevin has just found the location of all the alien chips within a hundred-mile radius)
Kevin, you did it! (kisses him on the cheek)
The cheek? I find all the big bad alien chips, and all I get is a kiss on the cheek?
Gwen Tennyson Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
That we're going against orders and are no better than Ben.
Gwen Tennyson You had to mention it.
Gwen Tennyson Ben, didn't Elena just lead you into a nest of techno-organic zombies?
She's coming. One: she's in too much danger on her own now. Two: I trust her.
Gwen Tennyson Come on. They're taking over the world by 24 hour shipping?
Gwen Tennyson (Kevin has just explained the purpose of a queen in a hive, much to the surprise of everyone else; Ben looks at Gwen in confusion)
The science channel.
(Kevin looks pleased)
Gwen Tennyson I'm sorry Elena, but Kevin may be right. If it's a choice between one man and the entire human race.
You said you'd save him! It's not his fault. He's being controlled by the queen.
[Putting his hands on Ben's shoulders]
Dude. I know this is hard, but unless you take out this guy, the whole world falls. You know what Max would do.
I don't know what Max would do. But I know what I wouldn't do. I don't destroy victims. I save them!
Gwen Tennyson I think the Omnitrix can turn you into one of these things, but I'm not so sure it can keep you in control once it does. You may become a permanent slave to the hive.
A turbo charged killer weapon slave.
Ben no! I don't want to lose you too.
We're out of options. I have to put my faith in the Omnitrix.
What? I'm small?!
Gwen Tennyson He's turned into some kind of nanomechanical organism.
Nanomech. I like it.
Gwen Tennyson [Gwen punches someone and holds her hand]
Ow!
We make a great team.
Gwen Tennyson We're more than that. We're Plumbers. [Referring to Max] And the Plumbers have a pretty great leader.
Indeed they do. Ben, what would you say if I asked you to step in?
What?
Well, I'm not getting any younger. And believe me, I've been waiting for this moment long enough.
