You would think after growing up in Derry and dealing with Pennywise that you would literally be prepared for anything but slipping through some kind of portal was definitely something of a mindfuck.
The upside to this whole thing was that the majority of the Losers were at least present and accounted for including some that they thought they'd lost on a permanent basis. The other was the fact that Pennywise was dead, no chance in any kind of hell that he'd back to terrorise them and a whole new generation again. That was a win if nothing else. Honestly it was important to take the wins where you could, be grateful for what you had and that's how Ben tended to approach things.
At some point Ben was going to need to check out what other houses were available to live in so he'd stop mouching off Eddie and Richie though to be fair to him he'd done a lot of shit since he'd arrived, things like cooking, laundry, cleaning, and a ton of other stuff as a way of showing his appreciation and also to keep busy. He hated doing nothing, it wasn't in his nature, he was proactive and definitely didn't sit idly by when stuff needed to happen. He'd made a promise to himself after Derry and that was to make a difference, to change everything he didn't like about himself, and be the success that he'd never been in highschool.
And he'd made good on that even if he'd been lonely as if he had some awareness that something or rather several somebodies were missing from his life.
Clad in borrowed clothing from Richie, Ben stepped out of the house and rubbed a hand through his hair, turning his head in time to see Bev approaching which caused him to smile in greeting.
"Hey."
