Reed Richards was taking his time admiring himself in the bathroom as he had on what was the team's newest uniforms. Susan had years of cosplay costume design under her belt but even Reed didn't realize just how awesome the suits were going to look. It admittedly left him almost drunk with excitement! The suits, the press conference later today, everything that they had worked on for the last two weeks was becoming something now. It was hard for even Reed to get swept up in the commotion. Even though in the two weeks he hasn't quite figured out how to get Harvey back to normal. He did feel like he had a good idea where to go with it. Just a matter of the details as was usually the case with difficult science.

The biggest thing in the two weeks though hasn't even really been the creation of the Fantastic Four. Since everyone agreed the Baxter Building should become the home base of operations Reed and Ben both had to move in. Reed had to put some work into it but he was able to talk Susan's dad into being able to move into Susan's room with her. He still isn't quite sure how he did it, unless Susan just gave him another harsh speaking too like she did before.

As Reed was all grins he stepped out of the bathroom and back into their bedroom, doing a pose he was sure was suppose to look sexy. All the while doing the little bit of will it took to make his butt grow out a decent bit bigger. Reed had naturally been very proactive in practicing with his powers even down to figuring out how to do stupid silly little things like making his own rear end large. Still, it was all good practice, and there was something weirdly fun about becoming some kind of human cartoon character.

"Hey Susan, does this make my butt look big?" Reed jokingly asked trying to sound what he thought sexy sounded like. It was not very sexy.

Sue waited on the bed impatiently, she couldn't wait to see him in the new suit she'd made for him. She giggled at the sight as he asked her the ridiculous question. She covered her mouth, trying hard to fight back harder laughter. "N-not at all dear!" She joked like a mid sixties house wife, putting on a British accent with it.

"In all seriousness. No, it looks great.  Just put your... butt back in!" She chuckled. "My turn!" She hopped up and grabbed her suit that hung from her closet door. She was still a little shy dressing in front of her now boyfriend. She hoped their new found romance would not ruin their long term friendship.

But as she undressed in the bathroom with the door slightly ajar, she turned back to see that Reed was peeking.

"Hey.  No peeking..." She playfully smirked and faded her uncovered body.

Reed giggled and let his butt deflate back to normal as he let Susan put her suit on. Again it even surprised Reed a bit that everything has caused him to loosen up so to speak. It could be contributed to the powers, the feeling of all these exciting new things happening. Normally Reed would be too tepid, maybe intimidated to make a silly joke about having a big inflated butt. Of course being around Susan was a plus as well.

As Reed took a seat on their bed and waited on Susan to get her costume on. Peering over to the bathroom she realized the door was opened just a bit. Peeking over he quickly got the light scolding from Sue. Which made Reed cheekily grin and shrug almost like he was channeling Johnny's reaction to getting caught doing something bad.

Instead Reed just continued to sit upright on the side of the bed. It was at that moment he started thinking about THAT topic with his relationship. Him and Susan had never been closer but they well... They haven't done 'that' yet. Reed wasn't against it, far from it. He was concerned about when Susan would feel comfortable with it. More so however he was thinking about the possibilities of what would happen if they conceived. Would their kid have powers like them? Would they even be able to have kids? As much as Reed had been working overtime on learning everyone's powers to a very high degree. He still didn't know that much about them, and that frustrate him slightly.

Sue emerged from the bathroom with arms open. "Well?" She gave him a little twirl, the suit clung to her feminine figure well. "It's not too slutty is it? I want to give women a good rep, so I want to be covered head to toe but I still feel it's a little...clingy I don't know." Sue shrugged and became insecure about herself again. She never thought of her herself as sexy as she was modest and gave more time to academics than social peer pressure.

She knew Reed would just say what she wanted to hear though and pouted. "Be honest." She told him as she folded her arms.

Standing up as Susan came back in Reed wanted to give her an honest answer. He looked down at his own suit first. "Well I mean all of our suits are a bit clingy. Look at mine it doesn't leave a lot to the imagination." Reed noted looking over himself. "So I wouldn't be too worried, plus you could wear a pink moo-moo and I'd still find you hot." Reed said with a grin that showed his honesty hopefully, as he came up to Susan. "Still the idea, and I think remember this..." Reed gently began to stretch his arms up and down Susan's body, his hands just barely touching her against her suit. "We're all wearing the same look, we're a team. So if you look slutty we all look slutty, and I don't feel very slutty right now." Reed quietly told her, "I mean I did just inflate my own ass but still... wouldn't mind doing it again if you want by the way. You know... just in case." Reed chuckled with a warm smile.

Reed's warm embrace encourage Susan and she nodded at him. "I can live with that." She chuckled back and planted a small kiss on his lips. "Let's go introduce ourselves to the world then, my sexy elastic man." She winked at him playfully. She just hoped that the public liked them...

Reed returned the kiss in kind, once again he puffed up his rear end again as Sue's hands went over it. Along with his entire body bulking up a bit more muscular. Reed couldn't help it, and frankly he just enjoyed doing it as it didn't require a lot of effort. "I couldn't agree more my pretty little... invisible... I can't make it work quite as well." Reed said laughing a little as he let go of Susan but kept an arm on her shoulder as they walked out of the bedroom.

"I know we haven't had much of a chance to talk about everything how crazy the last two weeks have been." Reed started, wanting to address what he felt like was an elephant in the room so to speak. "But you're sure you're okay with all this? I know Johnny is ecstatic to an almost scary degree, and Ben has been okay about it. You on the other hand I've not really been able to gauge how you're feeling about everything." Reed asked Susan, since the biggest concern he had about the four of them going forward as a superhero team was making sure everything was manageable for them. He knew celebrity life is crazy enough, but also going into dangerous situations on top of that makes the idea intimidating no matter how exciting the possibilities were.

Susan stopped their advance mid walk. "Reed." She turned to look him in the eye. "With you by my side. I feel strong. Like I'm ready to take on the whole world. No matter what it throws as us. As long as I know you're sticking by me, through thick and thin....for better or worse...." She trailed off but stopped herself there with reddened cheeks. So many crazy things had happened all at once that the two had barely any time to talk about their relationship or personal feelings. "Just don't...neglect us in all this, okay? That is all I ask." Sue smiled after she divulged her reasonable condition. Although she wondered how much alone time they would really get from now on.

"Sue..." Reed noted as he smiled a bit as well from her request. "I couldn't neglect you or stop thinking about you if I tried..." Reed kissed her on the forehead before the two continued on to meet up with Johnny, Ben, and Tony Stark.
