Valentisha agreed with a nod. She noted how fast he removed himself from her vicinity. Perhaps he wasn't so good around women, she thought to herself. No matter. But she did wonder why it bothered it her so...

"To the ship it is." She walked out of the hut a little slower than she would usually because she felt pain with every step. She needed some pain killing agent on her back wound to numb the area whilst it healed over and she could continue her quest. She hated feeling so weak sometimes. Clenching her fist she marched onward toward the forest.  

She sighed after walking for what seemed like half an hour and finally laid eyes on their ship. She walked on board and half way up the ramp unclasped her armoured vest at the sides. Walking in to her room she pulled it off and then removed the torn black tank top she had underneath. She needed a new one but not before the wound was taken care of. She struggled to reach around to her back with a cloth to clean the blood away and sighed. She threw the cloth against the wall in frustration. It had to be right in the center of her shoulder blades didn't it. Not an easy place for a person to reach. She reached into the medical pack and took out a needle gun that was used for pain relief. She glared at it, knowing she HAD to ask Aidan for help to administer it. And he couldn't get away quick enough from her earlier on, so how in the hell would he deal with her in just her bra, that wasn't damaged luckily. IF she had not been wearing her armour, the slash would have cut a lot deeper into her spine. Instead it was a surface scratch. But it sure stung like hell. 

So the question now was - would she be stubborn and struggle on her own and waste more time or suck it up ask the man for help? She pondered on it for a moment before finally relenting, calling out into the ship's corridor. "Aidan can you administer the pain killer. Please?" That last word was hard to say, she was not used to asking anybody for help.

Sue watched Johnny in amazement when all of a sudden the creatures were running straight for her. She ducked but they ran past her, they couldn’t see her. She looked back up and blinked. Then she knew she could dodge them all to get to Harvey. She had to try and get through to him. Somehow. So she picked up pace and ran around these smaller hideous things. Dodging their projected pathways, she then got blocked of by ten more than broke off the giant creature and landed in her way. She felt the urge to push this surging energy outward. And so she brought up both her arms and pushed a barrier wave out into the monsters, forming a sort of bubble like effect around her. The creatures then get knocked away by the forcefield and the path was clear again. She jumped up onto the rubble and began to climb higher, not being noticed by the giant yet. She stopped as high as she could get and suddenly she reappeared. “Harvey! Harvey it’s me Sue can you hear me?!” She yelled up at the giant form that once was her friend. 

Reed watched her now girlfriend run on ahead, including launching some kind of force field which knocked a group of the monsters over.  Reed continued keeping himself above them all, smacking them away with his enlarged mallet.  He tried to pick up the pace, though it was hard as the creatures grabbed his legs and leaving him having to swat them away.  Worse though was when he looked over and saw what was happening to Ben.

Sure enough the football player was practically gun ho in leaping into the fray.  Swinging haymakers left and right which were battering creatures to and fro.  However the numbers game was catching up to him and creatures began to hog pile on him as the numbers grew.  Soon Ben was seemingly gone from sight as he was swarmed.  “Ben!”  Reed called out to him trying to get over to him to save him, however he wasn’t ready for what he saw next.

Pieces of clothing, but more horrifyingly skin were being flung into the air as the creatures seemingly tore into Ben.  Though no blood could be seen it seemed like Ben was a long goner.  The pile on top of him though seemed to bloom upwards, and movement stirred as something bigger and bigger was inside of it all.  Suddenly though the creatures went flying.  As a massive orange monster rose up from the mess.  Reed almost went after it before he realized suddenly that it was Ben.  Certainly not Ben as he knew him.  Tufts of skin and his shirt dangled off of him as he was now a colossal seven foot tall beast that looked like an orange rock golem of mythical proportions.  Ben stood upright, his fist clinched as tightly as possible as he let out a scream that was almost primal in nature.  “Alright no more mister nice guy.  IT’S CLOBBERING TIME!”  Ben called out before he went back to striking down any monster that got in his way.  Though now any creature that his fists connected with got launched seemingly a mile away.  Plus anything that tried to slow him down seemingly got thrown farther by him grabbing hold of them and just throwing them.  Reed had to admit it was amazing to watch.  All the more so with Ben in such a zone Reed wondered if he even realized yet this strange form he had taken on.

Sue tried to reach out to Harvey in vain. It took one look at her and then lifted one of its arms up and smashed it down upon her, nothing but rubble lay there when it lifted its arm back up. Johnny flew past. “SUUUEE!!!” He screamed out and dive bombed a few more creatures from mid air. But then Susan reappeared with a bubble around her. She was concentrating so hard on her forcefield that her nose began to bleed. She then put her arms down and fell to one knee in exhaustion. Clearly she needed more training on her new powers to use them more efficiently without getting tired. 

Reed finally was able to clear out the area a bit of the brainless beasts before glancing over at where Susan was down, surrounded by rubble and on one knee.  “Shit!”  Reed had to think of something quickly especially since now Harvey was spewing more of the creatures out.  Seemingly spawning them like some amphibian creature in a nasty looking display.   Johnny had flown down to fight the monsters away from Sue but Reed knew they needed a plan to end this quickly.  Glancing back up at Harvey he realized Harvey, even in this monster form.  Still had human like qualities to his shape.  Forming an idea Reed made his way over to Ben who was finishing taking out creatures around him.  “Ben I have an idea but… how strong do you feel right now?”  Reed asked, he would love to have a concrete plan but considering he just realized what was happening to Ben he could only guess what was capable.  

Ben glanced over at Reed with a weirdly at the moment chuckle.  “Man at this rate I’m some rock thing and I’m punching monsters that monster Harvey is crapping out I don’t even know what’s happening anymore!”  Ben’s laugh after that freaked Reed out a little.  As it seemed like his friend was enjoying this insanity just a little too much.  Then again he could only assume Ben was on some adrenaline high.

Reed glanced back at Harvey.  “Do you think you can throw me up at Harvey’s head?  If I can apply enough pressure I might be able to choke him enough to make him pass out.”  Reed pondered the thought to himself as he once again had to go on suspicions which made him nervous and upset.  Not having facts to go on made this very risky and normally Reed wouldn’t even consider something to brazen.  However given the situation Reed wasn’t left with much of a choice.  He got to work preparing as Ben glanced back at Harvey himself.

“Okay I feel pretty good right now, and even if I could throw you that far and high how am I supposed to…”  When Ben looked back at Reed he had to pause at watching Reed fold and mold himself into a ball.  Finally though you could see limbs intertwined into it, Reed had folded himself into a perfect basketball sized sphere.  He bounced in place a bit, finally hopping into Ben’s surprised grasp.  

“Alright I’ll give this a try… but Reed?”  Ben asked as he started to wind back for a throw.

Reed sighed in the mounting fear growing inside him, “Yeah?”

“This is beyond fucked up.”

“Yeah...”

Ben took a deep breath and lined up his target, “Alright, one fastball special coming up!”  Then with a mighty heave sent Reed in his ball shape flying through the night sky.  Reed screaming “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”  All the while as he didn’t count on just how freakishly strong Ben had become.  Finally as he got close Reed unfurled out.  Stretching out in midair to grab hold of Harvey and start wrapping around his giant mutated friend’s neck.  Trying to make it as tight as possible.  Harvey though began jostling his neck violently to try and shake Reed off.  Leaving him trying to hang on while he tightened himself harder and harder.

Sue looked up in horror at seeing her now boyfriend risk his life. “Oh my god REED!” She cried out in fear of his reckless action. Johnny had to keep her from running to him. “He’s got this.” He reassured his sister and she buried her head into her hands, she just couldn’t watch. She just didn’t know how to deal with the possibility of losing Reed. 

Reed finally got himself tightened in on the throat of the mutated Harvey.  “Alright come on buddy, time for beddy-byes.”  He called out.  Slowly but surely Harvey’s hard shaking was slowing down, leaving Reed to only hope it was working.  “Go to sleep go to sleep go to sleep go to sleep go to sleep go to sleep…”  Reed could only mindlessly drone on with as he just hoped the mutated Harvey would just pass out already.  Though in the movement slowly dwindling the monster would occasionally burst out some energy to try and fight more only for it to not work.  As Reed could feel the mutated Harvey’s heart rate slowing on being so tightly on him.  He looked up as a blinding light suddenly engulfed the scene.  Something got launched towards him and wincing away from it he realized it was some needle projectile that lodged itself into Harvey.  Causing him to cry out in pain before seemingly fading faster.  Reed felt and watched on as the monster struggled one last time before falling over.  Untangling himself and leaping away from the monster as he crashed hard onto the sandy ground.  Reed landed into the sand with an unflattering splat.  Groaning as he got up awkwardly after a moment in an almost cartoony half flattened state.

Sue picked up her feet and ran immediately over to Reed. She flings her arms around him, though as soft and squigy as he felt. “Reed you dumbass, what were you THINKING?” She had her angry voice now but she was actually relieved he managed to subdue Harvey, as painful as it was to see him in that state. “You were amazing though.”

Shaking the sand off of his head and subvertly reverting it back to normal Reed was up on his knees when Susan tackled him back to the sand.  “Yeah no I fully admit that idea was stupid…”  Reed assured Susan as he finally brought his arms up to embrace her.  Ben ran over to the both of them, causing small vibrations in the Earth with each step as he did so.  “Holy shit Reed you’re the man!”  Ben told Reed as he pointed to him.  Johnny had also shown up and landed on the sand.  “Flame off.”  He said aloud as the flames around him vanished.  “Dude Reed did you just pull some MMA shit on him?  Holy crap!”  

Before anyone could say anything else though a balding man in a suit came up to them.  Surrounding him were countless guys with logos on their uniforms to make each of them realize it was SHIELD.  “Reed, Susan, Jonathan, Benjamin.”  The man started with a simple tone.  “Agent Coulson, SHIELD, and I think you four have had enough excitement for the night.”

--------------------------------

“We’ve been keeping track on what happened to each of you since the incident the night before.  SHIELD has been keeping a close eye on you Mr. Richards for your experiment, and not just because of the potential if it worked…”  Coulson and his men had finished off the rest of the monsters spawned out of the mutated Harvey and on top of working to clean the damages to the hospital and surrounding area were placing the mutated Harvey into a large enough holding vessel.  “Basically we knew once things went south that we were going to be needed, maybe not to the capacity that we ended up needing too.”

The four were changed out of their clothes, or lack thereof in Johnny’s case, and had SHIELD issue shirts and sweat pants on as they followed Coulson in the haul of the large SHIELD transport ship.  “Uh Mr. Coulson right?”  Reed nervously started, “What about Dr. Storm?  Is he okay?”  

“We have your father Susan and Jonathan, his hurt but should be able to recover.”  Coulson in once again a fairly straight forward tone which made Reed a bit nervous.

“What about Harvey?  That thing you shot him with wasn’t lethal is it?”  Johnny piped in.

“No its a tranquilizer powerful enough to level a herd of elephants.  We were… saving it for something else.  But it was needed at the time, though you had an impressive modified rear naked choke going Mr. Richards if I do say so myself.”  Coulson noted with did get a nervous and brief chuckle out of Reed.  “Still we’re going to figure out a containment option for him until we can figure out if there’s a way to bring him back to normal.”

“Okay but what about US though is what I want to know.”  Ben looked visibly uncomfortable in the clothes he was forced into, as it was the biggest pair of shirt and sweatpants they had, and even then it didn’t leave much room for him.

Coulson stopped on cue and turned to the foursome, “Well while the four of you seem fine, albeit mutated a bit.  We’re going to bring the four of you back to HQ and make sure none of you will pose any threat. Which brings me to the here and now.  Protocol says we have to keep the four of you in separate containment for the night while we travel back to HQ.  Just in case any of you have any further mutations that could cause you to turn into something like your friend.”  Coulson’s statement caused a nervous gulp from the four of them.  “Still we don’t want want to take chances so just go ahead and rest up for the night.  If any of you need something or want something to eat I’ll have an officer on hand to help out.  Just bang on your door and let him know.  In the meantime I’ll see each of you tomorrow.”

The containment cells weren’t exactly a four star hotel room but weren’t prison either.  The small bed was pretty good to sleep in, the toilet was clean, and there was even a sink and mirror.  Still laying there in his cell Reed was lonely as Hell.  He was roomed next to Susan on his left and Johnny on his right.  Though the walls were notably thick he could hear Johnny yelling at the officer to get him a sandwich.  Which was funny but didn’t do a lot to raise Reed’s spirit.  Finally though he started to get an idea.  Glancing over to the wall that separated him from Susan he stood up from sitting on his bed to examining it.  Feeling it slightly and trying to figure out if there was something he could exploit with it.  

Finally he realized the very slight opening between the wall and floor.  Glancing over at the door to make sure the officer wasn’t looking he tried to push his hand into the opening, and to his amazement though it took a bit of an effort he pushed it in.  “Hmm..”  Reed quietly pondered the idea to himself, and got to work.

Susan sat on her cell’s bed with her knees bent up to her chest and her arms wrapped around her knees as her face was buried into them. Her long blonde locks cascaded down her legs, now only in just a t-shirt and shorts seemingly ready for sleep. She just felt lonely and depressed. Worrying over her father’s condition and not being able to see him. She wondered what SHIELD had in store for her and her friends. She just didn’t know what was going on anymore, the world had gone completely mad and the only person who could comfort her was on the other side of a steel reinforced wall. Until a sound made her lift her head up and look at the wall next to her.

Resembling something of squishing mixed with grunts and scapes Reed pushed and pulled with everything he could until he saw the underside of the bed Susan was on.  Finally he pulled himself into the room more, clinching his sweat pants so they would come with as he finally popped into the room.  “Agh, they need to clean that space in there.”  Reed quietly joked, pointing at the wall.

Susan leapt back on the bed at Reed’s, shocked at his sudden appearance in the room. “Reed?!” She looked back at the wall and then back at him. He did not cease to amaze her. “How in the-..” It didn’t really matter, she got up and immediately hugged him tightly. “This is insane….” She despaired as she buried her head into his chest. 

“Shh…”  Reed quieted her, not just to reassure her but because the SHIELD agents probably aren’t going to be happy to find out he did this.  “Its okay Sue I’m right here.”  He told her caressing her hair a little.  “Just relax, I’m not going anywhere.”

Susan nodded and pressed her ear up to his chest, hearing his heartbeat which calmed her down and relaxed her. She felt her own heart racing a little bit faster being so close to Reed, and being alone, finally. She squeezed her arms around his waist a little bit tighter, not wanting to let go. For she feared she may not even see him tomorrow at this rate with how things were going. 

Reed smiled a bit, though not wanting to stay on the floor any longer carefully lifted himself up off the ground and let Susan get to her feet even as she continued to grasp him tightly.  Which was making his upper half slightly puffy in amusing sort of way.  “Here sit.”  Reed patted the side of the bed next to where he took a sit himself.  Though as Susan did so he carefully laid himself out on it.  Gently pulling Susan on top of him.  “Now what are you all worried over?  I thought we just got through the hard part.”  Reed asked her with a smile.  Though he was filled with as much dread over the future as she was, especially more so his friend Harvey.  He didn’t want the night to end on a downer.

“My father. I hope he’s okay...” She rested her head on his chest just underneath his chin, cuddling up to him. She wondered how Johnny was holding up too. His yelling seemed to have stopped for the moment, hopefully it was distracting enough to keep them from spotting Reed’s deception. 

Reed gently placed his hands over her.  Using his powers to flatten and enlarge them so they made an impromptu blanket over the both of them.  “That agent guy said he was fine and I don’t have any reason to doubt him.”  Reed told her snuggling in a bit.  “Look whatever happens tomorrow happens.  But don’t think for a moment I went through everything the last 24 hours threw at us just they could do something bad to us or keep you and me away.”  Reed told her.  “Fact is we’re all in this now, together.  Just like you told me earlier right?”

Susan smiled at him and lifted her head up to look into his eyes “Together.” She said with a hopeful tone and a warm glint in her eye. He always knew how to cheer her up, like nobody else could. Sure she had her brother Johnny but that was a different kind of love. With Reed, it felt like they were the only two people in the world right now. 

Reed looked deep into Susan’s heart and felt that funny feeling deep inside as he smiled a little more.  She was everything he didn’t realize he wanted in someone but there she is.  Laying atop of him in a moment he couldn’t ever forget if he tried.  Finally Reed leaned in, lips out, and slowly coming towards her.  A brief pause happened, force of habit from the last two times, before finally the two planted their lips together.

Susan blinked at him during the momentary pause, also expecting someone to burst in and stop them. Again. But their lips touched properly without interruption. And she smiled through it slightly. After everything they’d been through, at least they had each other’s love. And it would make them stronger. Finally, after the longest time of imagining this moment it was here. 

Everything around Reed felt like it went into a stand still.  Kissing Susan was everything he had hoped and more, the love between them made everything he went through, and the horrors of what was to come nothing anymore.  Finally as he pulled away he gave Susan an assuring smile.  “Everything will be alright Susan, I promise.”
