Chapter 1
+Outside Von Doom Industries, New York, Day+
As the sun shined brightly in the sky, two men walked towards a large statue of Dr. Victor Von Doom, the owner of Von Doom Industries.
"Typical of Victor Von Doom to build a 30-foot statue of himself." Ben Grimm scoffed as he and his good friend Reed Richards stoped near a large statue.
"Well, it's obviously aimed at first-time visitors to create feelings of smallness, inadequacy." Reed nervously told his friend just as another man with long blong hair, blue eyes hidden behind thin frame glasses and wearing a blue tee shirt with black jeans and grey sneekers, walked over to them.
"Looks like things haven't changed at all." the man told Reed and Ben causing the two men to grin.
"Thomas, it's been a while." chuckled Reed as he tried to hug his old friend before he noticed a little girl clinging to Thomas's back.
"It certainly has. Reed, Ben, I would like you to meet my only daughter Kayla, Kayla, say 'hi' to Uncle Reed and Uncle Ben." Thomas told his old friends causing the little girl with short brown hair, brown eyes hidden behind thin black glasses and wearing a pink dresses with black maryjanes, to peak head out from behind the blond's shoulder.
"Hi." the five year old then softly told the shocked men.
"Us, uncles?" Ben asked Thomas in shock.
"Yep. Who better to be the uncles to my daughter and her brothers then my old friends from college." Thomas told Reed and Ben before he looked curiously at Reed.
"So, why did you ask me to meet you here, anyway?" Thomas curiously asked Reed causing the raven haired man to smile as Ben looked curiously at his friend.
"Your guess is a good as mine, Thomas. Reed, what are we doing here? This guy's fast-food, strip-mall science." Ben told Thomas and then asked Reed as he and Thomas began to follow Reed into the building.
"This wasn't our first stop, in case you forgot. We're here to ask my ex a favor." Reed told Ben and then told Thomas as Kayla looked around nervously.
"Besides, Victor's not that bad. He's just a little...larger than life." Reed then told Ben and Thomas as Kayla looked curiously at her new uncle.
+Victor Von Doom's meeting room, Von Doom Industries, a few minutes later+
"My research suggests that exposure to a high-energy cosmic storm, borne on solar winds, might have triggered the evolution of early planetary life." Reed told Victor Von Doom, Thomas, a tired Kayla, and Ben as he showed pointed to a holo-graphic screen that was floating above the table.
"In six weeks another cloud, with the same elemental profile, will pass Earth's orbit." Reed then began to tell the group as the image changed into an image of a strange cloud floating around the solar system.
"A study, conducted in space, could fundamentally advance our knowledge, about the structure of the human genome, cure countless diseases, extend human life, give kids like Kayla a chance to life a longer, stronger, healthier..." Reed then began to tell the group as the image changed into DNA strands befores Victor interupted him.
"Turn it off. Please." Victor interupted Reed causing the raven haired man to look at his ex.
"I don't think I've explained my proposal fully." Reed tried to protested.
"No, I think you have. Same old Reed-always stretching, reaching for the stars, with the weight of the world on his back. But dreams don't pay the bills, do they?" Victor told and then asked Reed before he threw a magizine on the table.
"You remember, when we were in school, we talked about working together." Reed then began to tell Victor as he walked over to the end of the table as Thomas shook his head.
"Well, that's what I was about to explain. The storm is deadly, but the shields on your station's control room, are designed to protect any occupants inside." Reed then told Victor as he picked up his remote and then pressed a button on it causing the image to change into an image of Victor's space station before Victor turned on the lights causing the image to fade away.
"So, it's not just my money you want. It's my toys." Victor then told Reed causing the raven haired man to shrug.
"Tell me, if NASA doesn't trust you, then why should I?" Victor curiously asked Reed causing Ben and Reed to look at each other as Thomas looked curiously at his friends.
"Guys, what's he talking about?" Thomas curiously asked Ben and Reed.
"We tried to get a grant from NASA but they refused to give it to us." Ben explained to Thomas as Victor began to laugh as he got up and then walked over to the side of the table.
"That's my job-to stay a step ahead, to know what other men don't." Victor then told the group as he sat down on the table.
"I can't take this." Ben groaned.
"Ben, this is business. Just work." Reed told his old friend as a woman with short blond hair walked into the room.
"He's right, Ben-It is just business." Susan Storm told her old friends.
"I think you three know my director of genetic research, Susan Storm." Victor then told the group as Susan walked over to the group causing the three men to turn around.
"One more thing he's got." Ben mumbled to Reed as Thomas smiled at his old friend.
"Hey, Susie." Ben happily told Susan.
"Hey." Susan happily told her old friends as she hugged Reed and Ben.
"Oh, it's so nice to see you. How's Debbie?" Susan happily told and then asked Ben before she hugged Thomas.
"Great." Ben happily told Susan.
"Great. And how's Marcus and your kids?" Susan curiously asked Thomas causing the blond to grin.
"They're doing good. Susan, meet my only daughter Kayla, Kayla, this is your Aunt Susan." Thomas happily told Susan and then told Kayla causing the brunette to smile nervously at Susan.
"Hi." Kayla nervously told Susan causing the blond to smile.
"Hi, Kayla." Susan smiled at the little brunette before she looked at Reed.
"How have you been?" Reed curiously asked his old friend.
"Never better." Susan told Reed.
"This isn't going to be a problem, is it?" Victor curiously asked Reed, Ben and Thomas.
"Oh, not at all." Reed told Victor as he turned around to face the dark haired man.
"Good." Victor told Reed as he stood up and then walked over to Susan.
"Then you're just in time, to hear the great Reed Richards, ask me for help." Victor then told Susan.
"You know, you made a lot of folks at M.I.T. feel like a junior high science fair, so you'll excuse me if I savor the moment." Victor then told Reed causing Kayla to look curiously at her mother.
