Sue was anxiously waiting for the signal from HERBIE to teleport the team back to the lab, she was nervously bitting her fingernails checking the timer every few seconds and praying for some faint response.

SUE: What the hell is taking them so long!? It's almost an hour

Just then she heard the door open and her father walked in looking a bit tired and deshelved from the meeting he had with both N.A.S.A and the U.S. Defence to keep the project alive

SUE: Dad!? What are you doing here!?

DR. STORM (puzzled): What am I doing here!? Susan what do you mean!? I went to sort out our immediate termination remember!? I told you guys to wait here until I return with news

SUE: Oh! Right! Anything good to report!?

DR. STORM: I'm afraid not dear...they're really pulling the plug this time...hmph! Well we better get started in wrapping all this up...

SUE (feeling more upset): Damn it! This can not be good!

DR. STORM (goes to hug and kiss Sue): I know my dear...we tried...we really did put in alot of effort...but...hmph...well nevermind

SUE: Ummm Daddy...

DR. STORM: I know, things will get better, where is the rest of the team...did they leave early!?

SUE: Ummm Well you see...Ummm...Oh god

DR. STORM (worried): Sue!? What happened!? Where's Victor, Reed and Johnny!?

SUE: You see Dad, we had a feeling you wouldn't get through with keeping the project afloat so we...

But Dr. Storm already knew what happened as he now noticed their machine missing in the lab

DR. STORM: OH MY GOD! SUSAN HOW COULD YOU!?

SUE (tears forming): Dad we had no choice...we need to know if it'll work! They were gonna terminate all of our research, all those years of progress!

DR. STORM: DAMNIT SUSAN! DON'T YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU'VE JUST DONE!

SUE (crying): I Know Dad but I'm sorry...I just wanted you to be proud of us...that's all

Dr. Storm held his hands on his head and tried to calm down

SUE (crying & sobbing): It worked...but they haven't come back yet...sniff..sniff..it was just a simple warp...in and out I swear

DR. STORM: You haven't gotten a signal as yet!?

SUE (crying): I don't know! sniff...sniff

Dr. Storm facial expression became serious and stern

DR. STORM: Susan get onto the controls and send out signals and don't stop until you receive or hear a ping

SUE (sobbing): I've tried that and so far nothing...sniff..

DR. STORM: Sue this is no time to be crying, for all we know your brother and our friends could be trapped dead out there keep trying!

Then a small faint ping was heard

SUE: Hey! That's them...they're responding! finally!

DR. STORM: Quick triangulate the signal and began retrieval!

SUE: On it! Engaging retrieval sequence i 1

Sue pushed the button and the room began to shake and rumble however this reaction was more violent than the last time, the rumble slowly grew into a massive earthquake that shook New York.

SUE: What!? What's going on!? This never happened before!

DR. STORM: Hmph! Something is happening on the other side...that might be the cause of this reaction, hang on tight Sue!

Dr. Storm and Sue could hear the large screams of the residents outside panicking and screaming trying to find shelter or cover from the earthquake taking place, not realizing that the Baxter Building experiment was the source of this earthquake.

SUE: Daddy the earthquake...getting them back is causing this...what...what are we going to do!?

DR. STORM: We have to progress, if we stop now we'll lose them all!

Then a blue light emerged and it began to expand rapidly but something strange occured as the light was expanding a yellow blended with a greenish hue of cloudy gas along with yellow rays of light and electric sparks were slowly seeping through the blue light, now the computers along with other machines for the retrieval system were begining to spark up and then explode resulting in several small fires.

DR. STORM: SHIT! Sue keep trying! I'm going downstairs to stablize the system

SUE: Dad No! Wait!

It was too late Dr. Storm ran down stairs to where there were minature explosions and sparks on the computer systems below. Dr. Storm took a fire hydrant and began to cool down the flames but more sparks popped up resulting in more small burst of explosions in the wires and plugs. The blue light suddenly gotten huge as there was a massive cloudy mist and suddenly other yellow flashing lights were emanating from the blue one. Dr. Storm finally got a hold of the system and began to engage the retrieval of the teleportation machine and immediately start to close off the sequence.

DR. STORM: Susan now! Disengage! Disengage!

SUE: Daddy get out of there!

DR. STORM: There is no time, DO IT NOW!

Sue immediately disengaged the system, as she did so another explosion occured nearby where Dr. Storm was standing which caught him off guard as he flung mid-air and landed into some debris.

KA-BOOM!

DR. STORM (screaming in pain): AAAGGGGGHHHHH!

SUE (screaming): DADDY!

Sue noticed that disengaging the system did not work, as now the blue light further expanded bringing more yellow coloured electric sparks and cloudy gas resulting in more small explosions, she was going to have to disengage it manually as there was no time. Sue immediately ran downstairs to the centre of where the blue light was in the room and went straight for the massive switch and plug in the back of the system, as she entered, the cloudy mist engulfed her body entirely as she began to cough and feel sick, she struggled fighting through this toxic steam of cloud and yellow light radiation and managed to get to the switch which she slowly turned down, the blue light suddenly began shrinking and then another reaction occured as a massive blue orb emerged from it covering a portion of the room and an image of the machine appeared that was Sue's cue to terminate the experiment.

SUE: cough...cough...cough...cough..Experiment's...over

Sue pulled the plug and the blue orb surrounding the lab suddenly burst out a massive jet stream of the toxic cloud along with an electric blast of yellow energy that instantly struck down Sue as she flung back knocking her unconscious. The entire lab powered down an the room was filled with smoke. The machine now stood with the cockpits of each participant opened to reveal Johnny unconscious and no longer in flames, A huge slab of boulder that ripped the machine due to it's massive size as if it was trying to fit itself inside the cockpit and finally a drained Reed Richards coughing his lungs out with his elongated hands dragging on the floor. Reed plopped on the ground as his body began to melt like a puddle of goo.

REED: Dammit! Got..gotta concentrate...arrrgghhhh

His gooey body finally took form to his regular shape and size, this took alot of strain as he noticed that he was back in the lab.

REED: Sue! Sue! Oh God! Sue!

Reed tried to get feeling in his legs but they began melting on the floor as he then dragged himself to where Sue was, he soon noticed the entire lab was destroyed by their experiment, he turned and finally saw Sue's body lying on the ground. Then another strange event occured, Sue's body was slowly fading away every now and again, sometimes he could see parts of her body and then at other times he could see nothing it was as if she had vanished into thin air.

REED: Holy Shit! Sue! Come on legs! Damnit!

Reed slowly crawled like a slug and finally got to where Sue lay, then he heard a faint cry for help not too far from where Sue was, the voice was muffled by debris. Reed then closed his eyes and concentrate to pull his body together, slowly but surely it did as Reed now stood up and took some time to position himself, he then heard the faint cry more clearly as he went tp the direction of the cry and to his horror saw Dr. Storm all bloodied and brusied as a huge piece of debris was now ontop of him.

REED: Dr. Storm! Hang on I'll get you out!

DR. STORM (crying in pain): Auugghhhhh!

Reed began to shift the debris to move Dr. Storm but due to it's massive size it was too much for one person, then a thought popped into his head as he closed his eyes and began expanding his hands large enough to match the size of the debris that crushed Dr. Storm. Dr. Storm on seeing what Reed was doing with his hands looked in amazement and somewhat had feelings of fear mixed in, witnessing this sight to behold of Reed's new found abilities.

DR. STORM: Uggghhh...Re..Ree..Reed...what...happened..to you!?

REED: Cough..cough...no time to explain jus sit tight

Reed's massive hands gripped the debris and moved it as if it was nothing freeing Dr. Storm. Reed then lifted him up with his massive hand and sworn he could've felt something sharp poke his huge fingers, he then stretched his arm long enough to place Dr. Storm on a nearby chair away from the destruction.

DR. STORM: Amazing...that's...amazing...cough..cough

REED: You okay!?

DR. STORM: I...I...don't...I...don't..have...

Dr. Storm then slumped down and fell to the ground, Reed noticed that a piece of iron stuck on Dr. Storm's back and blood now leaking from behind.

REED (panicking): Oh no! Oh God no! HELP! HELP! SOMEBODY!

DR. STORM: It's..it's alright Reed...everything...alright...

REED (on verge of tears): No jus hang on okay! I'll get you an ambulance jus hang on damnit!

DR. STORM (grabbed Reed): Listen...I'm...ooo...okay...just...watch...them...my..children...protect...pro..

REED: No! Doctor No!

DR. STORM (watching Reed's tearful face): Protect...my..

Dr. Storm's head then slowly bowed and Reed realized it was too late, Dr. Storm succumbed to his wounds. Then he heard noises coming from a distant and a heavy shuffle of footsteps. That must be the government authorities coming to shut this place down. Then a feeling of fear and panic overcame Reed causing him to loose focus on keeping his body together as he suddenly began to melt into a blob form again, but much to his dismay it proved to be a useful method of being covert as the government agents now burst in the lab to assess the damages. One of them was the lady who was there for the first trail. Most of the agents had on dark blue uniforms with the eagle patch on their chest and side arm. Then he remembered seeing the same logo on the gentleman's notice for closure of their experiment, it was S.H.I.E.L.D.

MARIA HILL: Hmph! From the looks of it, they attempted the experiment...but it seems like it backfired

SHIELD AGENT #1: Agent Hill should we contact Central Intelligence on this!?

MARIA HILL: Nah! I'll leave that for Director Fury, jus scope out the parameter and grab all the data we can...we gotta shut this place down now!

SHEILD AGENT #2: Ma'am look! They're survivors!

One of the Shield agents checked the pulse of Johnny and another one checked the pulse of Sue who now reappeared but then slowly started to fade away again. The agent checking Sue's vitals was now stunned in seeing this reaction coming from Sue's body.

SHEILD AGENT #2: I think we better get a medic in here asap! You see that!?

MARIA HILL: Huh! Now that's strange, it's like she's turning invisble...quick put a tag on her so we can keep track

SHEILD AGENT #2: On it Ma'am

SHEILD AGENT #1: Hey this one's unconscious yet he's got a serious fever...like he's burning up

MARIA HILL: Agents please be careful we don't know what could've transpired here...but we definitely do know from reports from the Police Dept. that the origin of the earthquake was here

SHEILD AGENT #3: What's with the massive boulder!?

MARIA HILL: Hmph! Odd...jus don't touch it, it might be dangerous

Then there was a crack from the massive boulder leading to several other cracks that outlined a massive hulking figure almost as tall and twice as huge than the machine which had the agent in amazement as how something so massive could fit into a device to small to contain it's size. Then agent Maria Hill notice the boulder now coming to life.

SHEILD AGENT #3: What the hell!? It's...it's alive!?

The hulking rock like figure began to fall almost crushing the agent as it crashed on the ground with a hard thud causing the entire building to shake

KA-BOOM!

SHIELD AGENT #3: Holy Shit! That was close, could've been squashed to death

MARIA HILL: God Damnit! Check that rock thing! It could possibly be alive

Reed was still un-noticeable as he was in his blob form, if he regained his composure the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents will surely spot him, Reed saw the machine cockpit and remembered HERBIE A.I. he had to get a back up of HERBIE, he began to slowly crawl his way stealthly passing the agents now checking vitals on Johnny and Sue and agent Hill calling for a huge crane or forklift to hoist the massive Rock that shaped like a person.

REED: Damnit! They've already got to them! Don't worry guys...I'll get you out...soon

Reed slowly made his way to the machine where there was no one nearby and managed to form his arm and then stretch it to where the main cockpit area, he immediately began to feel for the disc input system and upon detecting it he grabbed a hold of an eject disc button and pushed it to reveal a small disc. The hand of Reed took the disc and like a snake made it's way back to Reed.

REED: Got it!

Reed saw an exhaust pipe and steathly crawled his way to where it was to make his quiet exit. Then he heard a door opened and saw more S.H.I.E.L.D agents accompained by a tall dark-skinned man bald shaved sporting a goatie and an eyepatch wearing a long jet black leather coat.

MARIA HILL: Director Fury!

NICK FURY: At ease agent!

MARIA HILL: I was jus about to send you the status report

NICK FURY: I know but from the looks of it, it might be unnecessary...hmph...

The two agents turned and noticed the deceased Dr. Storm lying on the other side of the lab

NICK FURY: Maria call an ambulance!

They went over to where Dr. Storm was and checked his vitals

MARIA HILL: Oh no...It's too late for that Director...(shows Nick Fury the fatal wound)

NICK FURY: Should've shut this experiment down earlier

MARIA HILL: It still wouldn't have stopped this...they would still try to conduct this experiment behind our backs

NICK FURY: Yeah...to be fair to them this experiment would've put Dr. Storm back on the map...too bad it ended up in this mess

MARIA HILL: TO be blunt Director...this experiment was already in a mess, from the intel we gathered there was a mole trying to leak the project but can't really place which one

NICK FURY: Any suspects!?

MARIA HILL: Well the only two were Dr. Reed Richards and Dr. Victor Von Doom, they were the only outsiders to this project and from the looks of it both of them are not here

NICK FURY: Still no whereabouts!?

MARIA HILL: We're still scanning the premesis...but nothing so far

NICK FURY: This jus keeps gettin better an better...well I'm heading back to the U.N. Council besides the C.I.A Director is also there waitin for me

MARIA HILL: Right...we'll send these survivors to our Med Centre

NICK FURY: Well from what we've I.D. it's looks like those are Dr. Storm's twins Johnny and Susan, but the huge boulder back there!?

MARIA HILL: Once we get a diagnostic we would eventually get and I.D.

NICK FURY: Good...when the twins wake up I'll hate to be the bearer of bad news...

MARIA HILL: I know...but we warned them and they've disobeyed a direct order, they've got no one to blame but themselves

NICK FURY: We'll sort that out later we they regain consciousness...for now let's clean up this mess...

MARIA HILL: Alright people let's clear out!

The agents along with Maria Hill and the Director began to leave the destroyed lab with Reed then making his exit through the pipe exhaust.

REED: A mole!? What the hell!? Victor what were you really up to!?

Reed then crawled his way in his blob form slowly out of the Baxter Building and made his escape to hide from society and probably the rest of the world

A few days has passed as the scene shifts to a med centre were Sue was now regaining consciousness, on waking up she realized she was in a hospital bed but the room she was placed in is not like any other ordinary patient room. It was massive and white and had a glass screen for viewing, this made Sue feel immediately uncomfortable as if she herself was a lab rat being watched.

SUE: Huh!? Where...Where am I!? What's going on!?

Behind the glass stood Agents Maria Hill and Director Nick Fury along with agents Mitch Carson and Dum D. Dugan.

DUM D. DUGAN: I don't like this...we're scarin the lass

AGENT CARSON: Yeah a super-powered lass who can turn invisible at will

MARIA HILL: Quiet! Director Fury shall we begin!?

Nick Fury silently nodded giving approval, then Maria Hill spoke into a mike where her voice was booming on the other side of the room where Sue lay.

MARIA HILL: Good Day Ms. Storm, you can relax

SUE: Relax!? You call stringing me up with wires and cables relaxing then you've got a very funny concept

MARIA HILL: Ms. Storm I wish it would be simpler but the truth of the matter is that you've made it worse...not only for yourself but for your friends as well

Then Sue remembered the experiment and her twin brother and father.

SUE: Wait...the project...Johnny! Dad! Where are they!? What's happened to my brother!? Where's Dad!?

MARIA HILL: Easy Ms. Storm...easy...one at a time...

SUE (getting angry and slowly fading): You better tell me what the hell is going on!?

AGENT CARSON: You see that!? She's turning invisble

DUM D. DUGAN: The reaction must be from an emotional response...sorta like a trigger

MARIA HILL: Ms. Storm you need to relax...please...for your health and well-being

Sue then took a look at what was happening to her as she saw that she was slowly becoming invisible, her hands fading away, on seeing this made her panic more as she was not grasping fully the capablities of her new-found powers.

SUE: What the!? What the hell is happening to me!? Why am I disappearing!?

MARIA HILL: That's what we're trying to figure out Ms. Storm...apparently when you conducted your UNAUTHORIZED experiment, it went south and somewhat caused a massive explosion resulting in you and your brother along with one other person gaining frightening new abilities

SUE: What!? No...it couldn't have...(then she remembered)...oh no, the blast!

MARIA HILL: Yes...whatever explosion happened in that building is what affected you at an exponetial level

SUE: My Father, he was there with me...where is he!?

Maria looked at Nick Fury for further approval, then he got up and went inside the room where Sue was, the other agents followed him to secure his position

MARIA HILL: What the hell are you thinking Director!?

NICK FURY: If you ever had any experience in telling a person that their loved one is dead then you'd understand

MARIA HILL: Tch! Fine...

They went inside and noticed Sue watching the group of S.H.I.E.L.D. operatives with Nick standing infront of them

NICK FURY: Ms. Storm...I'd..I don't know how to tell you this

SUE (began to tear up): What's going on with my Dad!? Is he affected too!?

NICK FURY: It's far worse than that...he's no longer...he...

SUE (began crying): Oh God! NO! NO! DADDY!

Nick then took off his leather coat and wrapped it around a grieving Sue who was crying her heart out after hearing the grave news of her Father's death. On seeing this Agent Carson held his head down whilst Dum Dugan took off his bowler hat and bowed his head too keeping his eyes closed. Maria Hill kept a stern look on her face, eyes not blinking but deep down she felt Sue's pain.

NICK FURY: Shhhhh! It's gonna be alright Ms. Storm...your brother's still alive and well

SUE: Sniff...It's my fault...it's all my fault...I only wanted...I..I..

NICK FURY: I know...he's proud...come on, it's gonna be alright...gentlemen

Nick looked at the two agents as Carson and Dugan both went to get Sue up and placed her back on her bed to lie down.

DUM D. DUGAN: Easy there...you better get some rest okay...

SUE: It's all my...fault...what happened to Reed, Ben and Victor!?

NICK FURY: Well I'm assuming that the big rock thing we have up in quarantine is Ben, but the other two have gone missing...

Sue then buried her head in her hands and began crying

MARIA HILL: Ma'am if it's alright with you!? We'd like to ask a couple of questions...mainly about the two missing scientists

Sue then dried her eyes and looked at Maria Hill with a sad expression on her face

SUE: What is it about!? Are they in trouble!?

MARIA HILL: Maybe...based on the information we've received there is a mole within your team leaking details of your project to foreign nations

SUE: What!? But that's impossible!? My Dad and I would've run possible background checks on each of our participants...how could there be a mole!?

MARIA HILL: That's what we like to figure out

NICK FURY: Our sources picked up two leads which unfortunately for us is the two missing scientists

SUE: Reed and Victor!? No way! Reed has no hidden agenda... but Victor...now that I think about it...

NICK FURY: What happened with Victor!?

SUE: Well Victor wanted to push for Human Teleportation trails right away, he said it was beneficial to be one step ahead in our progress...aside from that most of the funding came from him

NICK FURY: Did he reveal his financial contacts!?

SUE: Yes he emailed a copy of his sources to us...plus giving us financial records for our awareness

MARIA HILL: Well it turns out that some of those sources are false

This revelation shocked Sue

SUE: What!? False!? Did Victor lied to me!?

Nick was now watching Maria and the two agents seemed to be piecing together this mystery coming to their own conclusions to ascertain whether Victor is the mole or not.

NICK FURY: Ms. Storm you better get some rest, your brother will be here to meet you shortly

SUE: How's Johnny!? Where is he!?

NICK FURY: He'll be fine...it's your other friend, umm Ben right!?

SUE: Yeah...what happened to Ben!?

AGENT CARSON: Director I think it's best we show her...

The agents then escorted Sue out of the room and into another section which was a massive open field. Sue noticed several tanks, helicopters and hover jets stationed outside with countless of agents moving about the facility.

SUE: Where am I!?

MARIA HILL: Your'e in S.H.I.E.L.D. Sector 12 in Upstate New York not to far in Westchester County

NICK FURY: It's the perfect place for super-powered people to hide and train, some of our Avengers and new S.H.I.E.L.D. recruits come here often

SUE: Avengers!?

MARIA HILL: Guess you don't really follow the news much

SUE: No...not really

The group reached another heli-port area where there stood two massive tanks being connected to a metallic electric pole to form into a design resembling that of weights, but what was more shocking was a huge, hulking rock like gaint lifting the two tanks with ease.

SUE: What the!?

Sue was lost for words on witnessing this sight, Ben was not the same, his human form gone completely and replaced by this rock-like giant. Ben was busy counting the amount of lifts he did with ease as he reached a new record of 1000. Ben then further show off lifting the two tanks with one arm and then switching with the other.

AGENT CARSON: Tch! Show off!

Ben then noticed Sue with the agents accompanying her

BEN: What the!? Suzie!? Hey Sue!? It's...it's me...Ben!

Sue noticed that even Ben's voice has changed, the bass in his voice was low and booming, it sounded more scratchy and growl like, like a rumbling noise.

SUE: Ben...what happened to you!?

BEN: I...I don't know Suzie...one thing's for sure...I ain't the same...I wish I could hug ya but you know...my hands

Sue then turned to noticed that Ben's hands even changed shape as he was now sporting four fingers instead of five

SUE: It's...it's alright, I'm gonna go check on my brother Johnny...

BEN: Yeah I hope he comes too...so sorry bout what happened to your Dad...

SUE: It's alright...(she went and hugged Ben, her arms could not cover his massive size)

BEN: They tell you anything about Reed!?

SUE: I don't know...he went missing along with Victor

NICK FURY: We're still workin on that Col. Grimm

BEN: Tch! Is that so eh...(notices S.H.I.E.L.D. operatives and Nick Fury) Oh Director Fury what can I do you for!?

NICK FURY: I'll let you three know when the time is right...we'll leave you two to catch up

The group of S.H.I.E.L.D. operatives left Sue and Ben to converse for awhile

BEN: Funny huh!?

SUE: What do you mean!?

BEN: From what I can remember back there when we teleported Victor touched something he ain't suppose to and we ended up tryin to get outta there

SUE: What did Victor interefered with!?

BEN: Some sorta glowin object that had alot of energy contained...Reed figured that was causin the radiation surrounding the dead planet

SUE: So that's why you were taking so long back there!

BEN: Tch! Yeah an look where it got us...I look like a freak...

SUE: Well your'e not the only affected by the blast (lifts up her hands to reveal that it went invisible)

BEN: What the!? Suzie your hands!

SUE: I know...back at the lab I was trying to retrieve you guys, unfortunately the radiation along with whatever energy coming from that side blasted through and hit me

BEN: Oh no...damn it! It's your friggin boyfriend Suzie, no offence but he started actin on his own like some dumbass and woke something up...something that should've stayed dormant

SUE: From what you've been telling me Ben sounds like alot has transpired...you wouldn't believe this but they've been suspecting both Reed and Victor to be leaking the project to foreign agents

BEN: Tch! Well Obviously it makes sense as to who our main suspect should be

SUE: I know...but I wanna give Victor the benefit of the doubt...

BEN: Come on Suzie...he was pushing for Human teleportation the most like he had somethin to prove, plus Reed's been tellin me how he funded most of the project...anyways doesn't matter now...

SUE: What happened to Victor Ben!?

BEN: Reed and I were tryin to get him out, after he touched the damn object it blasted him back affecting him, the planet started to explode all around us plus whatever was comin outta that object was chasin us and all we knew was that we 'accidentally' dropped Victor on our escape...but...ah...damn it!

SUE (crestfallen facial expression): It's okay Ben...you guys did your best, what's important is that you've made it back in one piece

BEN: Yeah...but not like this Suzie...not like this...and with Reed gone...I dunno...I don't want to believe he's dead Suzie...I can't

SUE: Me either...From what you've been tellin me it sounds like Reed got you outta there...

BEN: Yeah, I got stuck during the cave in and Reed went back and helped me, your brother came along after but...

SUE: Hmph! It's funny...I should be worried about losing Victor but now I more concerned about Reed, it's as if a part of me is lost...

On hearing this made Ben smile

BEN (smiling): Heh! Would you look at that...he's out there Suzie, I know it

SUE: Hey! You wanna go check on Johnny!?

BEN: Tch! I doubt it...can't even fit through those doors

SUE: Oh right...your'e mountain now heh! heh!

BEN: Very funny...from what I've been testing my body can merge with any rock or mineral on earth and grow in size but it takes alot of focus to do that.

SUE: Hang on...(closes her eyes)

Then for a brief moment Sue fully vanished from Ben's sight

BEN: What the!? Suzie where are ya!?

SUE: I'm over here!

BEN: What!?

SUE: No on your left!

BEN: Seriously!?

SUE: Now I'm on your right

BEN: Quit playin games Sue! It ain't funny!

SUE: Heh! Heh! actually it is quite funny

BEN: Well you better not go snooping inside S.H.I.E.L.D.'s base they've got all sorts of tech to track you

SUE: Riiiggghhtttt hold on...let me test something...

Sue then looked at one of the hover cycles nearby Ben and then she concentrated on the cycle and suddenly it vanished as well.

BEN: Holy Shit! Suzie whaddaya do!?

SUE: I made it invisble as well...pretty neat, I could make myself and other objects invisble at will

BEN: Not bad...could come in handy

SUE: Why are we at S.H.I.E.L.D!?

BEN: Well they're the only covert government official capable of dealin with extra-ordinary catastrophies namely one such as this

SUE: Right...the Director seems like a nice guy

BEN: Yeah he is...the other agents are okay, except the lady she's a real...

Then Maria Hill showed up as if out of nowhere

MARIA HILL: Ms. Storm, your brother's awake...you want to see him!?

SUE: Yes...I will be right back Ben

BEN: Yeah you go on ahead Suzie, I'm gettin back to my work out

Sue and special agent Maria Hill went back inside the Sector to go check on Johnny whilst Ben continued with lifting the two military tanks as weights. The two women went inside the Section and headed down to the ground level of the area where there was another medical unit setup. There Sue could see other agents working on sick and injured operatives along with discovering vaccines and treatment to fatal diseases. Then Maria took a left turn to enter in a section marked Fire-Hazard, this puzzled Sue as they now entered the room where the set up was similar to Sue's room. There was Johnny pacing around arguing with one of the agents behind the glass screen.

MARIA HILL: Dr. Ames how is our patient!?

DR. AMES: Oh he's doing wonderful Ms. Hill, hear for yourself

JOHNNY: HEY! ANYONE IN THERE!? I SEE YOU CREEPS WATCHING ME BACK THERE! LET ME OUT! LET ME OUT NOW! ARRGGHHH!

Then as if on que Johnny burst into flames, but even stranger was that he himself wasn't burnt. It looked as though the flames engulfed Johnny's entire body only a silhouette of him is seen, making him distinguishable from within the flames.

JOHNNY: Ah Crap! Not this again!

SUE: What the!?

DR. AMES: I know right! Remarkable! He can instantaneously combust at will...so far it only happens when he's in an aggressive emotional state

MARIA HILL: Looks like cowboy here is doin alright so far, seems pretty lively, why don't you try talkin to him!?

SUE (still in shock): Right... (goes to the mike) JOHNNY! JOHNNY! IT'S ME SUE!

JOHNNY: Sue! Oh man! Am I glad to hear your voice...you okay!? Where are we!? What's going on!?

SUE: We're at a S.H.I.E.L.D Facility in Upstate New York...Ben's here as well

JOHNNY: Oh good, the oaf's still alive

SUE: Well...you should see him now, he's more than oaf...

JOHNNY: Huh!? What happened to him!? Did the radioactive cloud got to him!?

SUE: Yeah and it got to me also...listen Johnny...I have to tell something...

JOHNNY: Where's Reed!?

SUE: I don't know...we haven't found him as yet, they're still looking for him

JOHNNY: Oh! Right...how's dad, is he with you!?

SUE (now tearing up): Umm...you see, the thing is...

JOHNNY: Sue!? What's wrong...where's Dad!? What happened to him!?

SUE (crying): I..sniff..sniff...I'm so so sorry Johnny...can you forgive me..!?

JOHNNY: Forgive you!? Forgive you for what!? Just tell me what the hell's going on!? Where's Dad!? What happened to him!?

SUE (crying): Dad's gone...I'm...I'm sorry

JOHNNY (in shock): Huh!? Quite playing Sue...whaddaya mean he's gone!? That's bullshit! He left the buidling to sort out the project...how can he be dead!?

SUE (crying): He came back during the experiment, then everything went haywire...he, he tried to prevent it from blowing up...he got caught in an explosion...I..I'm sorry

JOHNNY (now tearing up): Your'e lying Sue! Don't friggin lie to me! ARRRGGGGHHHH!

Then in a fit of rage Johnny flames grew and the room got hotter and hotter as he was now throwing fire balls at the glass with each fire ball growing bigger and bigger in size. Then he let out a flamethrower blast at the glass screen causing the glass to slowly crack.

JOHNNY (screaming): ARRRGGGHHHH! YOUR'E LYING! THIS IS ALL A SETUP! GET ME OUTTA HERE! ARRGHH!

MARIA HILL: Doctor activate the Smokescreen now!

Dr. Ames pressed a button as heavy cannons emerged shooting a ice cold breeze blast directly at Johnny dousing the flames created by him extinguishing him in the process.

JOHNNY: ARRRRGHHHH! DAMNIT!

The whole room was filled with smoke as Johnny lay down coughing and then his coughs eventually became tears as he was now crying. The door opened to reveal Sue who came in an instantly hugged and consoled her twin brother.

SUE (crying): Sniff...sniff..I'm so sorry Johnny...Dad's gone...sniff, looks like we're on our own now...

The scene shifts to outside the facility, it was late evening as three survivors from the Baxter Building catastrophe were all together awaiting Director Fury's arrival to discuss what is to happen to them after the failed experiment. Then Director Fury along with agent Maria Hill and another agent, a petite young lady with spunk came in the room as well. Johnny instantly started looking at her and Maria Hill and was somewhat taken aback for a brief moment.

NICK FURY: Good evening, I hope you three got all the rest you need because from tomorrow at 08:00 you'll be officially working for S.H.I.E.L.D.

JOHNNY: Whoa! Whoa! Excuse me!?

SUE: Huh!?

BEN: Tch! I knew it!

SUE: Um care to explain...

Then Maria Hill chimed in to give them the explanation

MARIA HILL: I'll be happy to, you see you three went ahead and conducted a very hazardous experiment near a city wide location that could result in multiple causalties, adding to that prior to your experimentation you were authorized to terminate any and all progress on the project yet you all conducted said project anyways.

NICK FURY: Your'e lucky our fellow agent Daisy Johnson has a unique ability to pinpoint the origin of any tremor or earthquake as well as start some

MARIA HILL: That's how we were able to locate the source of the earthquake which led right to you guys, but then again my only regret was that we didn't act sooner to stop you from doing such

NICK FURY: Luckily there were minor causalties, and because of that I think it's only fair that you return the favor, especially now that you three been blessed with unique powers from this failed experiment

BEN: You mean more like cursed...I can't friggin walk around like this in public! Hell I can't even walk in a friggin Zoo!

JOHNNY: Tch! Dude seriosuly!? I thought I was off just bursting into flames, thank god I've still got my good looks (winking at Maria Hill & then at Daisy)

BEN: You shut it! Reed and I had a bad feelin bout this and look what's happened to us!

JOHNNY: Hah! Serves you right, if you didn't got stuck back in the cave, we'd be outta there and you'll probably still look normal, not that you look normal to begin with

BEN (angry): Why you son of a...

SUE: Knock it off you two!

JOHNNY: Try me (his hand immediately lit aflame awaiting to strike at Ben)

NICK FURY: HEY! HEY! STAND DOWN!

It proved little effort as Ben was marching to where Johnny stood ready to face him, Ben footsteps thundered the ground causing tremors with each step then Sue stepped in between them an as if out of nowhere a huge thin wall appeared that blocked Ben from Johnny, then the wall itself took the shape of a prism. The sight of this new found ability had Sue in amazement along with Johnny, Ben and the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

BEN: What the!? Didn't know you could do that!?

JOHNNY (in amazement): Cool power sis!

SUE (in shock): Huh!? That's new...

BEN: Umm could ya release me now...I'm kinda choked up in here

SUE: Right...would you stop acting like a infidel!?

BEN: Jeez Suzie...alright only if you keep hothead in check

Sue watches her brother with a knowing look that mothers give their wayward children

JOHNNY: Sheesh alright...I'll behave scouts honor (Johnny then dissolve his burning hand)

NICK FURY: Thank you Susan...now that the show's over can we return to more pressing matters

The three became silent and listened to what the Director had to tell them

NICK FURY: Anyway we have alot of terrorist acts that plague humanity some on a domestic scale and others on a global one...we'd like that you'd use your abilities to benefit the protection of this planet from any threat internal, external or otherwise

SUE: Hmph...it's only fair...

JOHNNY: Right like I've got nothing better to do

MARIA HILL: Col Grimm seeing that your'e still in the military, no doubt the Dept of Defence will be co-ordinating with us on this, utilizing you as our secret weapon for missions that are likely suicidal will greatly be appreciated

BEN: I'd figured as much...(looks at his hands) jus lemme talk to my folks first...they have a right to know...

NICK FURY: Of Course Colonel, as for you two when we call you better answer

JOHNNY: Or else what!?

NICK FURY: You don't want to be on the shitty end Mr. Storm so I'd suggest you play nice after all you three should be in prison for committing an unauthorized act

JOHNNY: Tch! Fine...

NICK FURY: Well on to other things, Ms. Storm the Baxter Building is left in your care as stated in your Father's will, so we can use it as our base of operations for now...

MARIA HILL: We will contact you when necessary until then you are to go back to your regular lives well except for you Col. Grimm

DAISY: Here you go! (Hands out small cell phones to Johnny and Sue)

SUE: Is that all!?

NICK FURY: Excuse me!?

SUE: What about Reed!? Aren't you going to investigate his disappearance!?

NICK FURY: Of course, we need to discover the mole leaking your project...don't worry I'm sure Dr. Richards will turn up, anyways you all are dismissed

DAISY: You guys are welcome to come to Sector 12 to train and hone your abilities

JOHNNY: Will you be there!?

DAISY: Depends...I might be on missions but there are other capable staff that can monitor and help you adjust, I know what it's like to have unique gifts...so feel free to call me

JOHNNY (looks at Daisy): Definitely! (smiling)

The agents left the three of them to deliberate on today's events

SUE: Ben...I don't know what to say...

BEN: I know Suzie, I'd realized they'd see me as some sorta monster, a weapon...that's what I am now...

SUE: No your'e not! If Reed were here he'd be against this idea too! You know that as well as I

BEN: Yeah I know but Reed ain't here...I wish I knew where he was

JOHNNY: Man gotta admit this is turning out to be a drag, now we're S.H.I.E.L.D. agents

SUE: More like S.H.I.E.L.D. Shadow Operatives, god! I hate this!

BEN: Sue we gotta expect something like this would happen...now that we've gotten these stupid powers they're gonna likely use it to their advantage

JOHNNY: Well there is a place not too far from here that trains people with special abilities, I heard it's a school for mutants and other gifted people like us

SUE: Look it doesn't matter now...I'm hoping they find Reed

BEN: Me too, I hope he's alive out there

JOHNNY: You think he's hiding from them!?

BEN: I wouldn't really blame him...you've jus seen what happened to us, who's to say they wouldn't use him too!?

SUE: Right...anyways, we'd best head inside for now...

BEN: Nah! I'm goin on ahead...I gotta go see my folks

SUE: Oh! Right...hmph they'll be in for a shock

BEN: They have a right to know Suzie

JOHNNY: Well good luck with that Rock Boy!

BEN: Tch! Can it Johnny! I'll be seeyin you in the morning

SUE: Take care Ben!

BEN: You to Suzie! Johnny!

JOHNNY: Tch! Yeah whatever...later!

Ben then made his way leaving Sue and Johnny to go back inside S.H.I.E.L.D.'s compound. Ben went to get a huge green coloured tarp to cover himself and then head off to look for his Aunt and Uncle but in reality he was going to go look for his girlfriend Brittany.

BEN: Oh God! What am I doin!? I hope Brittany can take this...

Ben then made his way trodding carefully not to cause any tremors as he was going to Brittany's apartment. The way to Brittany's apartment seemed long it was partly due to Ben's immense size and having to duck under or hide in tall dilapidated building or old abandoned areas within New York to avoid public stares. Upon reaching her place luckily most of the residents were already indoors as it was late. Ben saw a small pebble and threw it at the window to where Brittany's room was. There was no response so he took another pebble and threw it at the window again, still there was no response and he repeated this action a third time, then a fourth until a light came on from inside.

BEN: Finally...

BRITTANY: Hey! Whoever it is better stop that!

BEN: Brittany! Pssh! Hey Brittany!

BRITTANY: Huh!? (She then noticed a massive looking figure with a green tarp covering it) Who...who's there!?

BEN: It's me...Ben

BRITTANY: Ben!? No, it can't be...you jus up and leave and now here you show up...it's been almost a week!

BEN: I know, I figured that project wouldn't take long...unfortunately it was longer than I expected...but I'm here now

BRITTANY: What's goin on!? What happened to you!? What project are you talkin about!?

BEN: Damn...guess it's no use in hidin anymore...

BRITTANY: Quit playin games Ben!

BEN: Here we go...

Ben then removed the tarp to reveal his rocky physical appearance, on seeing this Brittany was too lost for words.

BEN: Now...Babe I know what this looks like...but It'll take some gettin used to...until I find a way to cure this appearance...

BRITTANY (in shock): What the!? What in the...What happened to you!? Your'e not Ben!

BEN: What!? Baby it's me...can't you make out my voice!?

BRITTANY: No...no way...your'e a monster...your'e a freak! you probably killed Ben you son of a bitch!

BEN (tears welling up): What!? Brittany wait...it's really me underneath all of this! You gotta believe me baby!

BRITTANY: No! I'm callin the cops! Get out! Get outta here or else...or else I'll scream!

BEN (tearing up): You can't be serious!? Brittany look at me! Take a good look...it's me Ben..Benny...your one and only!

BRITTANY (has cellphone on her): I..I don't believe you! You freak! Hello! is this the NYPD!? I'm callin to report a disturbance

BEN: What!? Brittany! Are you friggin kiddin me right now!?

BRITTANY (on her cell): Yes you won't believe this but there's an alien infront of my apartment, it's some rock creature pretendin to be my boyfriend who's been missin for a few days

BEN (in shock): I can't believe she called the cops on me...alright I see...it's no use

Ben then hangs his head down and slowly trods away from Brittany leaving her, as he was doing so tears were falling from his eyes which somewhat surprised him.

BEN: would ya look at that...I'm tearin up...sniff sniff

BRITTANY: That's right! You betta run!

Ben turned back to take one last look at Brittany and then shook his head in disgust and made his way back to S.H.I.E.L.D's compound.
