Bed frame Troubles
Chapter 15: Bed frame Troubles
“I’m sorry. What?” Reed Richards asked in surprise.
“Yeah. You heard me,” Peter calmly said.
Reed Richards was a man of science who faced many things in his life. He made great process in science, got superpowers after an accident, became a hero and a leader of a team of superheroes, fought aliens, demons, cyborgs, gods, etc. He clearly went through a lot of stuff in his life as a scientist and as a superhero.
However, this was a new thing he has not ever expected or experienced in his entire life.
“Let me get this straight Peter. You want me to help you build an Adamantium bed frame?”
“Y-Yeah,” Peter said nervously.
“What for?” Reed asked.
“Well...”
(A few months ago...)
Anna was in the living room, enjoying a good book to read. Everything seemed pretty normal now, until Anna heard a small, but short-lived scream. At first, Anna assumed the sound came from Peter and Cindy’s room, so she ignored it, thinking it’s one of their shenanigans. After a few minutes, the sound came again and like earlier, Anna assumed the sound came from Peter and Cindy’s room, but she wore headphones to block it out as it was starting to annoy her. Finally, she had some peace and quiet to read her book.
Then suddenly, a loud crashing sound came from Peter and Cindy’s room, and it surprised the heck out of Anna, even if she was wearing the headphones.
“What was that?!” Anna thought as she heard the sound. She then got up from the couch, left her book behind, and hurried to Peter and Cindy’s room. As soon she opened the door, what she saw was...quite surprising. What she saw was Peter and Cindy on top of each other, naked on the bed. However, the most surprising part was the fact that their bed frame was completely broken into pieces of wood. Peter, Cindy, and Anna had an awkward moment as Anna was looking at them naked on a mattress surrounded by broken pieces of the bed frame. It lasted for a few minutes until Peter composed himself after getting over the shock.
“Uh...hey Anna...” Peter said while embarrassed.
“Hi Anna...” Cindy said while embarrassed as well.
“Okay then......I’m going to leave you two alone and try to forget this ever happened. Deal?”
“Deal,” Peter and Cindy said at the same time.
“Good,” Anna said as she was about to leave the room.
“Wait Anna, can you please shut the door?” Cindy asked.
“Sure,” Anna replied as she left the room, then closed the door, leaving Peter and Cindy alone in the aftermath of their lovemaking.
“Well, that was awkward,” Peter said.
“No kidding. I thought I was going to die from embarrassment,” Cindy replied.
“From what? The fact that we broke the bed frame with our lovemaking or Anna walking in on us naked on the mattress and broken bits of the bed frame?”
“Probably both,” Cindy replied with a blush.
“I see. You want to get something to eat?” Peter asked.
“Sure, but first, clothes,” Cindy replied.
“Agreed.”
(Back to the present...)
“And that’s why,” Peter said as he was done explaining his reason and the situation why he needs Reed’s help to make an Adamantium bed frame.
“So, let me get this straight. The reason why you asked me this request is because you and your partner’s lovemaking broke the bed frame. Correct?
“Yes,” Peter said.
“But why me though? Can’t you ask Tony Stark for that?”
“Did that, got rejected instead. Plus, I think he still has a grudge against me.”
“For what?” Reed asked.
“I don’t know,” Peter replied. “Anyway, can you help me or not?”
“Well...okay. But I’m warning you though, I’ve never done anything like this.”
“Got it.”
And then Peter and Reed gathered up enough Adamantium to make a bed frame and then started building it.
(Meanwhile in another part of the Fantastic Four headquarters...)
“No way!! That happened?!”
“Shhhhhh!! Be quiet Susan!!” Cindy scolded Susan in a hushed voice.
“Oh! Sorry,” Susan said in a quiet voice.
As Cindy and Susan were having a conversation about what happened about Peter’s strange request, Susan was surprised at the reason why Peter asked for an adamantium bed frame. Then she laughed at the fact that Peter and Cindy broke their bed frame from their lovemaking, and Cindy was not amused at it.
“It’s not funny Susan,” Cindy pouted.
“But it is to me!” Susan exclaimed as she was having another laugh attack after thinking of the broken bed frame again. This continued for a while until she calmed down. “So then, what happened?”
“After that, Peter had to buy another bed frame, and it was one of those strong ones. Yet, that broke as well. You see, every time whenever we get a new bed frame, we end up breaking it within a few days. Eventually, he and I decided to sleep on the couch for a while until now. We figured that regular bed frames can’t support our lovemaking, so yeah. That’s the gist of it.”
“Wow. You two were addicted to sex that much?” Susan asked.
“No!!” Cindy yelled as she blushed. “It’s just that the weight of both of us is greater than what the bed frame can handle.”
“I see. By any chance, did you two-”
“No. We did not have any sex during that time, so no broken couch,” Cindy said as she cut Susan off from finishing her question.
“Got it,” Susan said. “By the way Cindy.”
“What?” Cindy asked.
“How’s life with Peter?”
“What do you mean by that?”
“I mean what is it like living with him?”
“Oh. Well...I’ll put it this way. Every day is an eventful day.”
“Hm?” Susan said as she was interested in Cindy’s answer.
“You see, every time when I’m with Peter, my heart feels light. Whenever he shows me something new, I feel like a new world has been opened for me. And whenever we have sex...well, you know,” Cindy said as she blushed at the last part. “Basically, Peter makes every day interesting.
“I get it. Glad you two are happy together.”
“Thanks Susan,” Cindy said with a smile.
“By the way Cindy.”
“What?”
“What’s Peter like under the covers?”
“Susan!!” Cindy yelled as her face was red as a ripe tomato.
“I’m joking! I’m joking! Just calm down!” Susan said as she tried to calm Cindy down.
(Back to the laboratory with Peter and Reed...)
“You know, this is actually working better than I thought it would,” Reed said as he was putting the Adamantium bed frame together.
“Really?” Peter asked.
“Yeah. I mean, I thought it was going to be a giant mess considering that I have never built a bed frame before.”
“Really? Even after all those years of years of building inventions, you haven’t built a bed frame?”
“Well, that’s because this kind of thing never occurred to me. I mean this kind of thing would be the last thing I would build in a world where aliens, cyborgs, demons, and a lot of other stuff exists.”
“True,” Peter said as he nailed in the last piece, completing the product. “There we go. It’s done,” he said as he and Reed examined the product. The finished product was something quite simple, yet elegant. Peter and Reed made an Adamantium queen sized bed frame with a solid veneer. It was shiny and gleamed into the light of the room as it was not painted yet. As Peter and Reed continued to examine it, Cindy and Susan came into the laboratory.
“Peter, is it finished yet?” Cindy asked.
“Yeah,” Peter replied. “Come and take a look at it.”
As Cindy and Susan looked at the bed frame, Cindy was amazed at how shiny it was. For her, a bed frame made from metal was one of the weirdest things she has ever seen, even in a world full of crazy villains, aliens, cyborgs, and much more.
“Peter, it’s amazing,” Cindy said.
“I know. Want to try it out how durable it is?” Peter asked.
“Sure,” Cindy said. She then touched the Adamantium bed frame to see how durable it was. As she gave it a punch, she felt the impact slightly hurting her hand. She was satisfied at its durability.
“Ok, this should work,” Cindy said.
“Good. I’m glad you’re happy with it,” Peter said with a smile as he was happy with the result as well. Now Peter and Cindy won’t have to worry about breaking the bed frame anymore, because they now possess an indestructible bed frame.
However, there was one more problem though...
“Hey Peter. How do we carry this back to the apartment?” Cindy asked after realizing that they need to carry this back to the apartment.
“Oh shit,” Peter, Susan, and Reed said in unison, as they just realized that they might need to break it apart, carry the pieces back to the apartment, and do it all over again.
