Chapter 1
“The wedding of Reed Richards and Susan Storm will take place this Saturday,” The young spokeswoman on the screen said.
Reed sighed as Sue looked at the screen. Hunter stood by her brother as Ben talked to some children. Johnny was his usual self, hanging around young girls and letting them take his picture with them.
“Okay kids, I’m gonna give you something special. Its call Thing dust,” Ben said as the kids crowded around him and Hunter.
“Unbelievable,” Reed said, his voice catching Hunter’s attention.
Hunter kissed Ben’s cheeks, waved to the children, and stood next to Sue. “What’s unbelievable?”
“Hmm? Oh, just that there are bizarre anomalies that have been occurring all over the world, defying every known law of physics,” Reed said as he shook the newspaper he held in his hand. “And all the media want to know is what china pattern Sue and I picked out.”
“Well, I do think that you need to change your china pattern, but c’mon, of course they’re going to be curious about your wedding. They care about the heroes, not the world going all doomed to hell,” Hunter said as she slung an arm around Sue. “They’re not brilliant scientists like you are.”
Ben jumped in, “Sis here is right, but which ones did you pick? The blue ones with them little flowers? I really liked them.”
Hunter and the other two looked at him. “He’s got a really tiny little mind,” Hunter said.
“Oh come on!” Ben said.
Hunter laughed.
“It’s happening again, isn’t it?” Sue said.
Reed looked up from his paper at her, “No, we are not postponing anything, not this time. This is gonna be the wedding you’ve always dreamed of and I’m not gonna let anything get in the way of that, not even the mysterious transformation of matter at the subatomic level.”
Sue laughed, “That’s the most romantic thing you’ve ever said to me.”
She kissed Reed as Hunter gagged. Sue hit Hunter as they kissed.
“Which is really pathetic when you think about it,” Johnny commented with a chuckle.
They broke away just as an attendant came up to them, “Dr. Richards, I’m very sorry, but it seems we’re overbooked. But we do have some seats available in coach though.”
Reed looked at the man and then turned around to see Ben picking up two young boys by the hand.
“Look, Mom!”
Hunter laughed at the boy’s enthusiasm. Reed turned back to the attendant and with a smile, said “That should be fine.”
Moments later, the team got onto the plane. Ben went ahead to the coach section of the plane and searched for his seat. Hunter watched him and snickered as he squeezed by a man with his large rock body. Reed stood and looked for a place to put his suitcase, upon finding one empty across from him; he stretched his arm and stuck it in the compartment. He averted his gaze when he saw a woman standing up to put her purse in the now full compartment. Reed pulled his jacket off as Johnny spoke.
“What do you guys think about trying to get an endorsement from an airline?” Johnny asked. “Get us a private jet.”
Sue looked at him from her seat, “I think we have enough endorsement deals already.”
Johnny laughed, “That is funny. No, but seriously, Reed, it could help you subsidize all your little inventions.”
“No, thanks,” Reed said as Hunter came up behind him.
“Excuse me,” a woman’s voice said, and Johnny backed up.
He took Hunter’s hand, “Consider it. I’ll talk to you guys later.”
“Whoa, wait, where are you guys going?” Sue asked.
“I don’t fly coach,” Johnny said.
“And I am not flying in any more planes. The last time we flew, some madman in a stupid looking costume nearly flew us into the ground. I’ve got enough nightmares to last me a lifetime," Hunter said. "So I’m gonna fly the natural way.”
Johnny grinned and pulled her away. As soon as they left the airport, the plane flew up into the sky. Johnny flew up into the air with his famous catchphrase; “Flame on!” And Hunter simply let ice cover her body as she rose into the air and followed Johnny.
Inside the plane, Ben smiled nervously at the woman beside him and looked out the window. Johnny, encased in fire, appeared in the window. He waved and rolled to his back just as Ben slammed the shade down in irritation.
“I hope it rains,” Ben said.
“Quit bugging my brother Johnny,” Hunter said as she reached him.
Johnny looked over at her, “Well life isn’t really that much fun if I don’t bug him. Besides, just dating you is enough to bug him.”
Hunter laughed as he pulled her to him and kissed her.
