*New story, from an story idea I came up with.*
Dr. Ben Whitaker didn't know what to do. The army had arrived to deal with him because they thought he was attacking the people because of his gigantic size. Ben knew he hadn't done anything wrong. He had come into the city to explore and reassure them that he's a gentle giant.
"Please don't." Ben said. "I don't mean any harm.... I'm..."
It was all he could say. From the moment the army arrived and began to attack Ben. He had been bruised from the missles the army launched in their attack. Ben was frightened beyond belief, not just for himself, but the people in the crossfire. He has never tried to harm the people below him, threaten criminals maybe. That was just about it. Ben has tried to befriend the people in the hopes they could trust him. All those times, he had wished he never had invented a growth ray now knowing the negative reaction and trouble it caused him. All Ben wanted to do with the machine was to test it on an apple to see if it worked. The machine did work, but it didn't grow the apple. The ray bounced off and hit him. This is how he grew and became a giant. He wanted to cry, but he knew better knowing how huge his tears are and the flood it cause from it.
"I have to get up." he said. "I have to stop this."
Ben attempted to stand up and walk, but all he felt was pain from the missles. He remained on his knees. He could see how his life was about to end, dead as a giant to the army, never thinking for once he was still human. Ben would never see his family and his friends again. His wife, Shea, and his daughter would never know what happend to him. Ben would never make another attempt of befriending the little people and return to his normal size.
"Is this how my life is going to end?" Ben said. "I don't want this. I must remain strong."
Against his resolve, a tear spilled from his eyes to his cheek and splashed to the ground. Soon enough more tears continues sliding out from both his eyes and splashed to the street. For the first time in 27 years, Ben cried for his life. As he continued to cry, his tears were rapidly falling to the street, forming a river. The people who were frightened of him, now was showing sympathy for him. They had feared Ben for his size, but never gave him a chance to befriend them. They thought he was going to attack and hurt them. They now knew that despite his gigantic size, Ben was still human. Realising that it had gone too far, they needed to stop the army before they kill him.
******************************************************************************
Flashbacks leading up to him being a giant
Ben was a genius since his birth. He was already unusually tall and handsome. He had nice blue-green eyes and dark brown hair. However, the scientist was always honest with himself and very humble. Though his parents have given him everything, he would still insist on working hard. He had gotten in the best schools and worked hard since then. His chosen profession was a scientist and inventor. Ben knew one day he would like to build useful inventions for the better of humanity. He was liked by everyone and was considered normal. Getting his PhD, he got a good job where he can put his skills to the test. His new invention, a growth ray was designed in a futuristic, yet simple way. The intent was growing food to help feed the surviving human race. Dr. Lyons seems very concerned about this. She didn't want this to fail.
"Dr. Whitaker, are you sure this will work?" Dr. Lyons said.
"I'm sure it will." Ben said. "I have tested it over and it worked out fine."
He took an apple from a bowl and set it on the pedistal to test it. Using the knowledge that Ben learned, nothing must get in the way of the apple. Little did he know that fate would have other plans.

Hi,
Great start!! I like the flashback !! Awesome, glad you started it !!

*thank you. Here's the list of the characters.
Ben Whitaker: A scientist and inventor. Stands at 6'8 with dark brown hair and blue green eyes.
Shea Whitaker(nee Ashford): Ben's wife. Before marrying Ben, she had been in the military for 5 years. Has three brothers(twin brother being biological) and one sister. With Ben, she has one daughter, Orlaith(pronounced Orla meaning Gold Queen). Stands at 5'8 with strawberry blonde hair and brown eyes.
Dr. Felicia Lyons: Ben's boss. She has the utmost respect for nature. Is very nervous about Ben's invention. Her hair is brown in a bob and brown eyes. She and the scientists will have to try to rework the growth ray.*
Ben had prepared the machine for his test on the apple. If all goes well, then it can be used to help the survivors. Ben had checked the ray one last time to make sure there nothing went wrong. He had warned everyone to put on protective goggles over their eyes.
"The rays are very bright and extra care must be taken." Ben said. "We don't want to be blinded from it."
One of the men sat down next to Dr. Lyons. He knew the good scientist is worried something will go wrong, but orders are orders and the king needed to be sure it worked. Once the goggles are on, Ben began his experiment on the growth ray. The growth ray was turned on and the exepriment began. Another scientist pointed out a reflecting mirror and warned Ben about it, but he wasn't concenred. In his thought if the apple grew successfully, he could grow other foods to help keep the people well fed. As the experiments continued what the scientist said turned out to be true and the experiment stopped. Ben decided to investigate on what's going on and took off his protective goggles.
"Dr. Whitaker, what are you doing?" Dr. Lyons said.
"I'm just investigating what's going on." Ben said. "I'll have the problem dealt with soon."
Ben went inside the experiment room to investigate. He was almost certain that nothing wrong happened. As he was about to turn around and leave, he spots the apple. It was still normal size, but it was the least of his worries. Ben looked up at the mirror that the scientist was talking about. He didn't have time it investigate more because there are potential clients waiting and he has to proceed with the experiment. Before he could turn around and walk away, a stray ray from the mirror hits him from behind. He had to get out, but there was no time.
"What the.....?" was all Ben said.
Outside the lab, everyone knew something wasn't right and immedately evactuated. While inside the building, Ben was sitting down when he felt himself expanding at a rapid rate. No, this can't be. He thought. I can't be growing. It's impossible. It was true, Ben felt himself breaking through the building. His clothes and his shoes, fortunately had grown with him. It would've been embarrassing for him to be nude. Once outside, Ben took notice on how huge he was. He stood up to his full height and estimated himself at around 70 meters(230 ft). Ben knew he had to find Dr. Lyons to help him because she knew what to do. With no option, Ben began walking to look for his boss. Little did he know that everyone else in the city would hear his thundering footsteps.
*************************************************************
End flashback.
The giant Ben was still on his knees and crying. He didn't want his life to end the way it did. The army was preparing for a 2nd round of attack on him. By this time, the people were angered by the unprovoked attack on Ben and were causing riots on them. While they got busy with their rioting, a woman with long strawberry blonde hair and in a lilac sundress was running around. It wasn't a normal one because she was frantic in looking for Ben because she was his wife.
"Ben?" Shea called out. "Ben, where are you? Ben!"
Ben stirred his head, eyes still full of tears. He recognized that voice. Shea. he thought. My sweet wife. She can't be... It was Shea because he recognized not only her voice, but also lilac sundress. She had worn the dress since they went out on their first date. Despite feeling pain, Ben turned around to face Shea. She was shocked and a bit afraid to see him a giant for the first time. Ben wiped his tears for a moment to face Shea. He lowered his huge hand next to her. Although scared, she climbed into the palm of his hand and sat down. Once Shea was safe on his hand, Ben carefully lifted her close to his face.
"Ben, is that you?" Shea said. "What happened?"
"I grew, Shea." Ben said. "I know it's shocking for you to hear that! But don't think of...."
"Ben, you're still my husband." Shea said. "I'll still love you no matter what."

Further away from where Ben and Shea are, Dr. Lyons had scrambled in her home to repair the growth ray. Based on the information that his wife gave her with the files, she had to hurry. She couldn't imagine what will happen next now learning about Ben being a giant. Dr. Lyons could only hope he....
"Dr. Lyons." a scientist said. "You better look at this."
"I'm in the middle of something." Dr Lyons said. "You'll have to wait Prospero"
"It's important." Dr. Prospero said. "This can't wait."
Dr. Lyons is flustered and frustrated by Prospero's request. She had to stop her work on the growth ray to find out what he wanted. Dr. Lyons had never liked working with Prospero because he was persistant and obnoxious. She came to confront him about his intrusion. She needed to get the growth ray repaired so she can find a way to reverse the effect and shrink Ben back to normal.
"What is it, Prospero?" Dr. Lyons said. "This better be good. I'm in the middle of something."
Prospero looked at her and she directed her eyes to the TV screen. The people were rioting against the army and countless arrests were being made. This didn't come as a surprise to her, not as much as seeing Ben holding Shea in his hand. Dr. Lyons learned from the news that he's standing at 70 m. However, she got concerned when she found out him crying from the attack, due to the missles.
"We have to get back to work." Dr. Lyons said. "That growth ray needs to be repaired. When it does get repaired, we need to find a way to reverse this to we can shrink Dr. Whitaker back to normal."
"Aye." the scientists said.
"Just suppose how we do it." Dr. Prospero said.
"Figure it out, you feeble minded nitwit." Dr. Lyons said.
******************************************************************************************
Ben looked down at Shea as he heard her tell him that no matter what, she still loved him. He couldn't help, but smile at what she said. He clearly loved Shea for it and made a good choice on her. Despite the arrests the army were making, the populace was continuing their riots. He soon stood up to his full height, his brown dress shoe covered feet pointed straight to them.
"Ben, what are you doing?" Shea said.
"I have to stop this." Ben said. "Just trust me."
He slightly lifted his left foot from the street and lowered it back on the ground. This causes trembles as both the army and the people stopped rioting. Ben knew he got their attention as he continued standing at his full height. He needed to stop this madness before it got out of hand. Gingerly, Ben tilted his hand and let Shea slide into his lab coat jacket pocket. Once she was safe inside, he turned his attention to both sides.
"Now, that's enough out of both of you." Ben said. "I didn't come into the city to cause destruction, nor attack anyone. I was looking for a colleague of mine because I needed help. I grew from an experiment that went wrong. I may be a giant, but I'm not destructive."
As he told them that, the people felt guilty for the rioting. Taking notice of the army general trying to make a quick escape, Ben took him into his hand. The general grew nervous being in the palm of his hand.
"You need to stop this too." Ben said. "You and your troops unnecessarily attacked me just because I'm a giant. Those missles hurt when they hit me. I never intended to hurt anyone in my life."
Once that got resolved, the army disappeared. The people felt Ben walking to look around for a bit. This is what they might have to get used to while he's a giant, his thunderous footsteps and being held in his hand to interact with him. As Ben continued to walk around, Shea sat up inside the stiff, yet soft lab coat jacket. This wasn't what she had in mind for her day. She had worn her lilac sundress because she and Ben were supposed to go out on their 6th anniversary together at the same place they met. Taking sometime to prep herself, Shea wanted to look at least decent for him. She uses a comapct mirror and puts on some light make-up and lip gloss. Shea immedatiately put her makeup away in her purse. Then, she took out her hairbrush from and brushed her strawberry blonde hair to a shine. Once ready, Shea put her hairbrush back in her purse and attempted to stand up. However, she felt Ben continue walking from inside and didn't dare move. She felt him stop near the wall. The wall itself had to be 22 meters(70 feet). It towered over the survivors living there, but it still dwarfed Ben. Not hesitating in the slightest, he stepped over the wall without causing damage. Once out on open space, Ben decided to sit down away. As much as he needed help to return to normal, he also wanted to spend time with Shea. Remebering she was inside his coat pocket, he uses his left hand, Carefully and gently, he lifts her out of his pocket. Once safely on the palm of his right hand, Ben lifts Shea closer to his face.
"Sorry." Ben said. "But I had to put you there for safety reasons. I didn't want you to fall."
"It's fine." Shea said. "But can you at least tell me next time? I don't want to get worried again."
"Where's Orlaith?" Ben said.
"At my twin's house." Shea said. "I told him that since you and I are going to celebrate our 6th year anniversary together, I needed him to watch her."

Ben looked down at her, sitting in the palm of his hand. Shea looked undeniably cute and beautiful sitting there. Her strawberry blonde hair very shiny, warm brown eyes and the lilac sundress. Ben felt his heart skip a beat whenever he saw her like this. However it was different this time, he was the giant holding her in his hand. Shea looked up at the familiar curly dark brown hair, Ben kept. His handsome face was now billboard size, his blue-green eyes sparkled more. His lips a dark shade of pink mixed with some red and plush. Shea found herself blushing at the sight of him as a giant. She always wanted to experience what it would be like to be kissed by a giant sized Ben.
"Shea, are you ok." Ben said.
"I'm fine." Shea said. "It feels wierd to be away from the city."
"I needed some time with you." Ben said. "After all you said it's our 6 year anniversary being married."
"Well....." Shea began. "Ben what are you doing?"
"You'll find out soon." Ben said.
He won't tell me. Shea thought. She was getting worried about his train of thought. Being a giant right now, Ben is very powerful to the people. His hands, expecially his palms though soft and firm, also yielded power from there. She is worried he'll go on a power surge. Yet at the same time, Shea knows he's a gentle giant. Her train of thought was interrupted as she felt Ben's finger gently caressing her face.
"Does this feel good?" Ben asked.
"Yes." Shea said, relaxing. "what will you do next?"
"I'm not telling you." Ben said. "Just trust me."
*****************************************************************************************************************************************
Dr. Lyons continued to fix the ray and during that time got concerned for Ben. She decided to look for him herself. Getting the other scientist to continue workng on the repairs, she grabbed her purse and headed outside to look for him. Dr. Prospero looked up with anxiousness and knows where it's going.
"Dr. Lyons what are you doing?" He asked. "You can't leave right away."
"I have to find Dr. Whitaker." Dr. Lyons said. "I need to know if he's all right. I don't know if he's dead or not."
"Dr. Lyons." Dr. Prospero said.
Dr. Lyons has left the house to look for Ben. She knew she had to find him in order to get the growth reversed. Dr. Lyons was heading towards the entrance to the wall. She soon screamed when she saw two cyclops giants attack her. Both are from the 30 meter(100 ft) class.
********************************************************************************************************************
Outside the wall, Ben heard a scream from inside the wall. His romantic moment with Shea will have to wait.
"Ben, what's wrong?" Shea said.
"We're going to find out." Ben said.
"Is it the Cyclops race attacking us?" Shea asked.
Ben put her safely back inside his lab coat pocket and got up from the ground. He stepped over the wall and walked back into the city to track where the screams are coming from. He didn't have to look long as two 30m cyclops began attacking Dr. Lyons. Ben stepped in front of her so they can't harm her.
"I don't think so." Ben said.
He lifted his brown dress shoe covered left foot over the two cyclopes and crushed them underfoot. Dr. Lyons looked fearful when she saw Ben live as a giant, instead of on TV. She feared he'll kill her at first sight. Ben gently knelt down and lowered his huge hand in the palm up position next to her. Dr. Lyons looked very nervous when she saw this.
"Please don't be afraid." Ben said, in a gentle but booming voice. "I won't hurt you. You can climb into my hand."
"Are you sure, Dr. Whitaker?" Dr. Lyons said. "I don't want to fall."
"You'll be safe on my hand." Ben said. "I'm gentle with that."
Nervous, but braving it, Dr. Lyons climbed into the palm of Ben's hand and sat down. She felt him carefully lift his hand closer to his face and stood up to his full height. Dr. Lyons looked up at him, worried as heck. At 70m, Ben was powerful as he stands. It would be worse of he was moving due to his thundering footsteps.
"Dr. Lyons, are you ok?" Ben asked.

I really like the part were Ben rescues Dr Lyon from the Cyclops and were she is scared of him and he tries to get her to not be scared of him.

*Thank you. Here is what Ben Whitaker looks like in his appearance. ben-whishaw.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=2169&fullsize=1* "I'm fine." Dr. Lyons said. "I'm just worried about earlier when I saw the news of the army attacking you." "Oh that." Ben said. "I got that taken care of." "But I...." was all Dr. Lyons said. He doesn't want to talk about it. It was understandable because Ben had cried earlier and didn't want to talk about it. Shea knew this all too well because she had been in the city earlier looking for him. Before Ben got a chance to walk, the people cheered for him. He looked shocked by the whole thing. At first glance, they were scared of him, now they were cheering for him. Ben gently took Shea out of his pocked and put her in the same hand he was holding Dr. Lyons. "Shea, what are they doing?" Ben asked. "They're cheering for you." Shea said. "You saved Dr. Lyons and the others from the two 30m cyclopes." "I did." Ben said. "Yes." Shea said. "We've been having trouble with them since then." "You were in the military." Dr. Lyons said. "How long?" "Five years." Shea said. **************************************************************************************************************** Five years Earlier. Shea was arming herself up with the 4DMG(four dimentional maneuver gear) with her fellow soldiers. With the way the Cyclops race was attacking these days, they had to be prepared. Shea's har was short and spiky at the time as it was the norm for the females to cut their hair to keep it our of the way when the Cyclopes attack. The commander was debriefing us on the cyclops race. "The only weakness they have is their eye." the commander said. "If we can blind them with our 4DMG Blades, then we can slow them down and launch a decisive attack." "That was how life was." Shea said, narrating. "They came out of nowhere in 2012 and attacked everyone. Those who survived had to run into the walls for safety. They were brutal creatures who ate humans. At the time, the 22m was was strong enough to withstand the attacks. It did, but I was still worried about the Cyclopes." Heading out to battle, Shea had to remember what to do if a cyclops grabs her. Cut off all of it's fingers and blind it's eye. Over time, she had become disgusted and sickened by everything she had seen. Her closest friends had died and she doesn't know what happened to Ariel and his brother. After her term was up, Shea requested that she leave the military at once. The fighting and the loss of life did a lot to her. "I don't know if I could do it anymore." Shea said. End Flashback ************************************************************************************************************************************** Shea could still feel the disgust even when she hears and talks about it. So many innocent lives lost. Ben took notice of her disgust. He had to take her to their home, but had to ask something. "Can you guys celebrate later?" Ben said. "I need to take care of some business." He needed to talk to Dr. Lyons about the growth ray. Ben didn't want to stay like this as a giant, but after seeing what the cyclopes have done. He would have to remain as a giant for the time being. The people headed inside for right now and Ben walked towards Dr. Lyons' house. "Dr. Lyons, I have to ask you something." Ben said. "About the growth machine...." "The growth ray." Dr. Lyons said. "We're still trying to repair it and figure out how to reverse it's effects. It's taking us a while because of it." "What do you mean?" Ben asked. "We're missing some parts." Dr. Lyons said. "We'll get it fixed soon and then return you to normal."

"You mean...." Shea said
"Yes." Dr. Lyons said.
She knew what Dr. Lyons meant about the growth machine. It was damaged during the growth process Ben endured. It means that until then, he will have to remain a giant. Once they get the growth machine working, they'll try to grow some food so Ben can eat and clothes for him to wear. After that, they can rework it so he can be restored to normal size. Once dropping Dr. Lyons off at her house, Ben walked towards the place where he and Shea had their first date.
"What's wrong, Ben?" Shea said. "You've been quiet."
"Just have some things on my mind." Ben said.
"I wouldn't worry about it right now." Shea said.
Deep down she knew it was bothering him just thinking about the prospects of remaining a giant. The growth ray machine has been damaged from the time Ben grew into a giant. It then got Shea thinking about the side effects of the growth ray. Even if Dr. Lyons and her team were able to fix it, there are still concerns.... Shea felt Ben stop at the place where they had their first date. It was a spacious area, but next to it was something she has never seen.
"What are they building?" Shea asked.
"We're about to find out." Ben said. "But before we do, I want to do something first."
"What?" Shea said.
"Do you trust me?" Ben said.
"I do." Shea said.
Ben gently and carefully brought her closer to his face. She didn't know how to react to the situation. She was very close to the plush, pink-red lips. Just knowing that he has control of the situation made Shea nervous, but also at the same time, he's still the sweet scientist husband she loved. Sure she and Ben have kissed each other before, but they were both normal size. Her train of thought got broken when she felt herself wet. What the... was all she thought. Shea realised Ben is kissing her. Why didn't she realises this earlier? Then again he was always hard to understand whenever she attempts such a thing.
"Sorry." Ben said. "I was nervous you weren't responding. I had to do something about it."
"I'm fine." Shea said. "I was just thinking about things. But I want to do something for you too."

*I have been using this website to help with the calculations.. www.metric-conversions.org/length/meters-to-feet.htm* "Like what?" Ben said. Ben didn't have time to think as she returned the kiss on his bottom lip. It felt wierd for Shea to kiss him being gigantic. However at the same time, she and Ben wouldn't have it any other way. Sitting there, Shea looked vulnerable and almost weighed nothing compared to him. At the same time, she knew she was safe sitting in Ben's hand. He was careful in holding Shea without hurting her. It was the same way with Dr. Lyons. "Ben look." Shea said. However, she didn't get a chance to say anything. They both saw a 50 meter(160 Ft) cyclops breach the wall and entered the city to attack the the people. Shea knew this one had to be stopped. However, she secretly cursed at herself for not brigning her 4DMG with her and was also inapproprately dressed to go to battle. Ben set her down on the ground. "Get to safety right away." Ben said. "Ben, what are you doing?" Shea said. "It's a 50 meter. It...." "I'm the only one who can stop this." Ben said. "I'm 70m tall! I still have a 20 meter advantage over it." "But what...." Shea said. She was forced to run for safe ground as Ben did his battle with the 50m cyclops. The cyclops wasn't too happy when it had to fight someone bigger than him. Opening his mouth, he revealed his razor sharp teeth in an attempt to bite Ben. The cyclops missed and fell to the ground. Taking some time, Ben used his body to hold it in place. Remebering what Shea had told him earlier about killing the cyclopes at the nape of their neck after blinding them, he pulled out his pocket knife. As the 50m cyclops struggled to get Ben off, he sliced the nape of the neck. Soon it was over, the cyclops stopped struggling and has fallen dead. Ben got up from the dead cyclops and watched the lifeless body turn to dust. After standing to his full height, the people looked up to see him. "Are you ok?" Ben said. "We are thanks to you." the people said. "You're not going to eat us are you?" "No." Ben said. "I'm not that barbaric." This was twice that he saved everyone's life from the cyclopes. As the people realised how gentle and strong Ben was, Shea had her own problems. She had found a 4DMG gear left behing by a soldier that got eaten alive by a 10 meter(33 ft) cyclops. Remembering her training from five years, Shea easily dodged the attack. She used the long flexable blade to blind the cyclops' eye enough to attack it from behind. Before she could finish the job, another cyclops attack her. The cyclops was very hairy and stood at 37 meters(123 ft). Ben sensing something was wrong, headed to where Shea was. Enraged that the hairy cyclops had hurt her, he stomped towards it and crushed it to the ground. Ben repeated the same thing with the blinded cyclops. "Ben." Shea said, stuggling to stand up. "Shea." Ben said, taking her into the palm of his hand. Taking off his lab coat, Ben used it to plug the hole where the 50m cyclops has breached it. It was the best he could do for the moment. Ben soon took her to the giant house that they were building and had a doctor check up on Shea. The wounds were minor, but her lilac sundress was ruined beyond repair and would have to be tossed. The nurses changed Shea's dress into the hospital gown. Despite being told to sleep in his room, Ben chose to remain with her at all times. "I'm not leaving her again." Ben said. "She nearly died last time." "Sir, your wife needs rest." a doctor said. "It......" "I'm staying with Shea." Ben said. "That's my wife. I nearly lost her." While resting up, Ben kept a close vigil next to his wife and prayed for a speedy recovery. He didn't want to leave Shea after what happened. At the same time, Ben knows he should because they are the top doctors. Taking a few moments to get up, he walked outside for a bit. It was only then he noticed his clothes have grown and there are food next to it. "Dr. Whitaker." Dr. Lyons said. "We have fixed the machine and are able to grow your clothes and food for you to eat." "Thank you." Ben said. "I appreciate this, but my wife was hurt bad." "I heard about it." Dr. Lyons said. "Dr. Moreno is one of the top doctors in this country. You should trust that he'll take care of Shea until then."

*here's more. I'm adding a twist to the storyline.*
"Thank you again." Ben said. "However, I just have one question."
"Go ahead." Dr. Lyons said.
"When are you going to return me to normal size?" Ben said.
Dr. Lyons turned away from Ben for a moment anticipating that question. It was too soon to ask her that and he knew that. Ben didn't want to remain a giant permanently and would like to return to his normal size. At the same time, with the cyclopes attacking the humans, he knew they needed a protector. It was only then Dr. Prospero stood up in front of Ben and had to tell him what's going on with it.
"That's the problem." Dr. Prospero said. "We're in the prospects of trying to figure out how you grew to 70m. Security cams have been broken since then but Dr. Spencer had suspected something may have reflected the ray when you went inside the room to investigate."
Ben felt his his blood drop when he heard about it. It could explain what happened when he got hit and grew into a 70m giant. Then he remember what he saw just minutes before the stray ray hit him. The mirror had reflected the ray and hit him rather than the apple like he had intended. Ben looked down at Drs. Lyons and Prospero and lowered his hand down. Once they were safe in the palm of his hand, he gently and carefuly lifted them to his face and stood up to his full height.
"I think I know what it was." Ben said. "It was a mirror. Now I'm a giant."
"I take it you don't like it." Dr. Prospero said.
"No." Ben said. "I do like being a giant, but I don't want to remain this way. I would like to return to my normal height as soon as I can."
"We're working on it." Dr. Prospero said. "We'll try to get you back to normal soon. Until then make the best of it."
That's what Shea said Ben thought. Shea. I have to check up on her to see if she's ok. Helping put his clothes and food inside the giant house, Ben headed to the window of the room Shea is at. Hearing his thunderous footsteps the doctors are worried that he'd get destructive due to his gigantic frame. Ben reassured them he's still a human being, despite being a giant. Shea sat up from her bed and stared at the huge but beautiful blue-green eyes of his.
"Ben." Shea said.
"Shea are you ok?" Ben said, his voice boomed.
"I'm fine." Shea said. "The doctors said it wasn't too bad, but they want to keep me here for the night."
"Why did you go after those cyclopes?" Ben said. "I almost lost you."
"I don't have a choice." Shea said. "My friend, Pierre, was killed trying to save a family of six children and I was using his 4DMG to try and fight them off. I know it was foolhardy and dangerous, but I didn't have a choice."
"Can you promise me one thing?" Ben said.
"I can." Shea said.
"Don't do it again." Ben said. "I don't want to lose you."
"It wasn't ideal for me to take risks with my life." Shea said. "But I won't do it again, unless I become a giant like you."
"Don't push it." Ben said. "One giant in this family is enough. Don't make it two."
Soon enough he had sent Dr. Lyons and Prospero home so they can get some sleep. During that time, Shea began regaining full control of her arms and legs. Her hospital gown was replaced with her favoirte lilac nightgown. However, there was something else at play and she didn't know what was going on. Shea knew Ben went to bed and she headed outside the hospital. Once away from there, she soon discovered what was going on.
"Oh my god, no." Shea said.
She sat down for a moment to relax, but there was no time. Shea felt herself growing at an alarming rate. Soon she found herself a giant similar to Ben, but she only stood at 67 meters(220 ft). Ben awakened from his bed to investigate and put on his slippers. Upon arriving in the room where the hospital is, he got the shock of his life when he saw Shea as a giantess. She had grown in a similar manner that he did.
"Shea." Ben said. "How...."
"I grew too." Shea said. "Similar to you did, but I didn't destroy anything. I left the hospital before I grew."
Ben was shell shocked when he heard that she had grown into a giant like him. However at the same time, he was secretly glad she did, it made him being a giant a lot easier. However, he's going to have to talk to Dr. Lyons in growing Shea's clothes so she didn't have to be stuck with her nightgown. However, that just left one problem, Orlaith and how she was going to react to see both Ben and Shea as giants. Would she be frightened upon seeing them and having to get used to their thundering footsteps? They'll have to find out in the morning when they see Orlaith. For now, Ben took Shea into his bedroom where they slept peacefully for the first time.

*Here's more to the story. Here are the names of Shea's siblings. Brayden(older half brother, mother is Siobhan), Kellan(Shea's younger twin brother, mother is Grace), Fintan(younger half-brother, mother is Marie) and Aoife(youngest half-sister, mother is Aoibheann)*
By the very next morining, the gigantic husband and wife awakened. Ben and Shea had a peaceful night of sleep and are ready to take on today. While she watched him cook, Shea began looking for some clothes to wear, refusing to remain in her nightgown. The only thing she could find that was close to fitting her is a pair of sweat pants and a black tank. Knowing this wasn't a time for her to be picky, Shea took them and got dressed so she can eat breakfast with Ben. After finding a pair of slippers, she headed into the kitchen.
"Mrs. Whitaker." a voice said.
Shea stopped for a moment next to the hospital that she was staying at before her growth. She knelt down to see Dr. Moreno on top of the hospital roof. He looked much smaller than last night when she saw him. Refusing to let him crain his neck looking up at her, Shea lowered her hand next to him. Dr. Moreno got nervous seeing her huge hand in close proximity to him. Her hand was pointed upwards to the sky and was god like in itself. The palm of her hand although looking like it's soft pillows, also yields power. Mustering up courage, Dr. Moreno climbed into her hand and sat down. Once safe in the palm of her hand, Shea gently lifted him closer to her face and stood up to her height.
"Dr. Moreno, are you ok." Shea said, her voice booming. "I'm not hurting you, am I?"
"No." Dr. Moreno said. "I am a bit nervous about this."
"I grew last night." Shea said. "I didn't want to destroy the hospital, so I left."
"I appreciate that." Dr. Moreno said. "But how could you have grown into a giant."
"I'll explain later." Shea said. "I have to meet up with Ben."
"I need a blood sample first." Dr. Moreno said. "I have to test out your sample just in case."
"Ok." Shea said.
Taking out an unused syringe needle from his pocket, Dr. Moreno found a couple of blood veins in the fleshy parts of her hand and draw out a small amount of blood. Shea barely felt it due to her gigantic size. Once safely back on the hospital roof, Dr. Moreno went back to his lab to do some research. During that time, she came into the kitchen and sat down on one of the stools. Shea watched Ben cook breakfast, a ritual she has done before when they were normal size.
"Breakfast is almost ready." Ben said.
"I heard you." Shea said. "I had to talk to Dr. Moreno about something. He wanted a blood sample from me."
"What?" Ben said. "Does he suspect something?"
"He was curious about my growth." Shea said.
****************************************************************************************************
In the lab of the hosptal, Dr. Moreno tests out the blood sample he got off Shea. He was curious in how she was able to assume a giant form without being grotesque and losing control of herself. As the experiments continued, Dr. Moreno soon discovered a connection from the strawberry blonde giant male that he took samples of.
"Oh my god." Dr. Moreno said. "Shea didn't grow from an accident, she was born a giant. How was she able to assume a human form?"
Quickly grabbing Ultranet Cell, he attempted to call Dr. Lyons so she can come over to help him with the experiment. Before he did, Dr. Moreno came face to face with the strawberry blonde male patient. He looked similar to the giant that he encountered back in the 20th century.
"What are you doing?" the man said. "I hope you're not calling someone I don't trust."
"It's just an old friend." Dr. Moreno said. "She is a close friend of mines and you can trust her. I wouldn't expose you to anyone else."
"That's good to hear." the man said. "I know you won't betray me, but I want to see my children again."
"Not for the moment." Dr. Moreno said. "No one else knows about you except for me, Riardon. No one knows what you truely are. I found out about Shea being able to become a giant."
Riardon looked towards him with a mix of anger and concern. Not only has he not seen his children in centuries, but he has taken confort knowing that at least one of his children has taken after him. Riardon doesn't know if the other four have taken after him. He has to ask Dr. Moreno, but first some business.
"I am from a race of giants." Riardon said. "You know what I am."
Against Dr. Moreno's wishes to remain in the hospital, Riardon left and got to a safe distance. Once away from the hopsital, he grew to his full height at 69 meters(228 feet). Riardon now must face another task, telling Shea about her lineage. In that moment, he found himself face to face with his eldest daughter, Shea, and her husband, Ben.
"Dad?" Shea said.
"Hello, Shea." Riardon said. "I have to tell you something."
"Shea, what is he talking about?" Ben said. "I haven't seen you before."
"I am Riardon." Riardon said. "I'm Shea's father and I have to tell you both something. We're from a race of immortal giants known as the Titans. Unlike the Cyclopes race, we don't use our size for our personal gain. We use it to protect the humans. The 22m wall was doomed for failure."
"That we knew of." Ben said. "But what I don't understand is this. How her growth was natural? I grew from an experiment gone wrong."
Riardon looked at Ben for a moment. At first glance, it almost look like they weren't going to get along. Soon things calmed down when Ben and Riardon got to know one another. It was then Shea realised that she was from a race of Titans protecting the human race from their natural enemy, the Cyclopes.
"It's up to you how you use the power." Riardon said. "Ben, I know you want to return to your normal size, but think about it for a moment. Maybe this was my way of asking you to remain this size."
"I'll think about it." Ben said.
"Dad, one question." Shea said. "My growth...."
"It is natural because you are a Titaness." Riardon said. "You are from my side of the family. I don't know if the other four can become Titans."
"Have you asked them?" Shea asked.
"No." Riardon said. "I haven't been in contact with you and your siblings for years. I had to remain in hiding because of this."
Ben and Shea looked at each other for a moment. They had met Brayden before, but it was vague. He stands at 6'6, had long auburn hair and blue eyes. Brayden seemed to keep very much to himself. Kellan, she knew all her life as he was her twin brother. He had come out to her and their mother that he was gay. It wasn't a problem to them. Shea had gotten to know Fintan very well. He had curly, strawberry blonde hair with two different eyes(one hazel and one brown). Then, there was Aoife, her youngest half-sister. She was abandoned by her biological mother Aoibheann and taken in by her mother, Grace. Aoife had a hard time adjusting, but with some patience Shea and Kellan were able to get along with her. She has long black hair and brown eyes. They were all from Riardon, which means that they have potential to be titans like her. The only way to find out is to ask them.
"We better ask them soon." Shea said.

*New Chapter*
However, one thing soon came into mind for Ben and Shea, Orlaith. She must be worried about her parents right now. How will they explain themselves to her as giants? Would she be able to accept them as her parents despite being giants? The thought and sight of Orlaith being scared of them would make both of them nervous. She'll have to get used to being held in their hands it interact with them and if she sad, they'll have to lower her to their chest to comfort her. Ben and Shea would also have to be careful in kissing Orlaith and make sure she doesn't get wet. Although the accident could always happen and if they do, they'll know she'll have to be cleaned off their wet lips.
"What's wrong?" Riardon said.
"Umm dad." Shea said. "There is something I need to tell you."
"We have a daughter." Ben said. "Her name is Orlaith and I don't know how we're going to explain to her about our size."
"Go to her." Riardon said. "She needs to know the truth soon."
"She only a child." Ben said.
***************************************************
In another section of the wall, Kellan looked outside very nervous. A little girl with curly dark brown hair, brown eyes and olive complexion looked at him worried. She hadn't seen her parents in a while and wondered why haven't they come for her. As she continued to wait, Kellan sensed something wrong.
"Orlaith, get away from the window." Kellan said.
"What?" Was all Orlaith said.
She ran away just in time as she saw the window get smashed. It was a cyclops all right. It was around 17 meters(56 ft). Kellan looked scared, but toughened up when he faced Orlaith, whom is very scared. He had to get her to find help without letting her know about her lineage.
"Orlaith, go find help." Kellan said.
"What about you?" Orlaith said. "I can't leave you. Mom...."
"Do you see that?" Kellan said, pointing to the cyclops. "He feeds on human flesh, especially youth ones. I need you to find help. I'm going to try and hold him off."
Orlaith looked at her uncle one last time and use the time to escape underground to seek help. During that time, Kellan grabbed a knife from the kitchen. Watching the cyclops advance forward to him, he raised his knife to fight him off. Kellan needed to buy time for Orlaith to find help and he had to keep that cyclops from finding her.
"You won't get past me." Kellan said.
