This is technically the final of the Thousand Words stories, inspired by this picture: <a href="https://stonetouch.deviantart.com/art/Here-s-one-for-the-girls-154063184">[link]</a> suggested by <a href="https://kamon72.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="https://a.deviantart.net/avatars/default.gif" alt=":iconkamon72:" title="Kamon72"/></a> . Kamon had to reselect after the artists for the original pictures put forward declined. This one made me wonder if I could get the whole process: Before, During, After. Before Ben was transformed, during his change and his forced conversion of Gwen, and after both of them are altered. <br /><br />I decided that it'd be fun (well, for us!) to have them still partially aware of what they now were, but unable to resist the compulsion now to find and infect others with the nanomachines. <br /><br />5/5 of my <a href="https://lz0291.deviantart.com/journal/29892350/">A Thousand Words Tells A Picture</a> request challenge.<br />Wordcount: 1000 exactly once again <img src="https://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)"/>
