Hi everyone. I'm a huge fan of Fantastic Four so I thought I'd write a fanfic for it. It takes place during the first movie but it has a new character. I do not own Fantastic Four. The only character I own is my OC Michelle Grimm.

So without further ado, here's Chapter One! :)

It was a warm sunny day in New York City, and three people walked into Doom Industries where the first sight they saw was a large statue of the owner Victor Von Doom in the center of the main floor. One of the people was a man in his late thirties. He had short black hair and dark brown eyes. He was wearing a black suit with a matching tie and black dress shoes. His name was Reed Richards. The second person was also a man. He was about forty years old. He was bald and had bright blue eyes. He was wearing a white sweater, a black coat, black dress pants, and black shoes. His name was Benjamin Grimm or Ben as he liked to be called. And the last person was a young woman at the age of 22. She had long blonde hair that was pulled back into a ponytail and brown eyes. She was wearing a red long sleeve button down dress shirt, a black skirt that reached just below her knees, and black high heeled shoes. Her name was Michelle Grimm or Elle as she liked to be called and she was Ben's younger sister.

The three looked up at the large statue and Ben spoke in a disgusted sort of voice.

"Typical of Victor Von Doom to build a thirty foot statue of himself," Ben said in a voice that said he really didn't like Doom.

"Well, it's obviously aimed at first time visitors to create feelings of smallness...inadequacy," Reed told them.

"Good thing it ain't working," Ben said with a small chuckle.

"Reed what are we doing here," Elle asked as she followed her brother and friend down the hallway.

"Yeah this guy's fast-food, strip-mall science," Ben started to say but Reed cut him off.

"This wasn't our first stop in case you haven't forgotten," Reed reminded his friends. "Besides, Victor's not that bad. He's just a little...larger than life."

"A little," Elle said in a quiet voice to her brother who chuckled.

After about ten more minutes of walking they finally reached Victor Von Doom's office. Reed knocked on the door and they heard Doom's voice from the other side.

"Come in," Victor said.

Reed opened the door and he stepped aside allowing Ben and Elle to walk through first before he followed. Reed shut the door behind him and a small smile appeared on Victor's face when he saw the three.

"You're right on time," Victor said as he got to his feet and walked over to them. He had short black hair and dark brown eyes. He was wearing a gray suit and black dress shoes. He held out a hand to Reed which he shook. He then glanced at Ben and then at Elle. "Now I don't remember you. What's your name?"

"Michelle Grimm," Elle told him. "I'm Ben's sister."

"It's nice to meet you," Victor said as he held out a hand to her which she shook. "What is it that you do?"

"I'm a pilot for NASA," Elle told him.

"Just like your brother I see," Victor said with a smile on his face.

"Yep," Elle said.

"Alright enough small talk, let's get down to business," Victor said as he walked back over to his desk and sat down in his chair. "Reed what is it that you want to show me?"

"Oh right," Reed said as he opened his suitcase and took out a small device. Ben and Elle stepped out of the way so Reed could show Victor his presentation. Reed shut off the lights and he pressed a button on the device he was holding and a holographic image of stars and planets appeared in the room. "My research suggests that exposure to a high energy cosmic storm born on solar winds might have triggered the evolution of early planetary life," Reed explained. He then pushed another button on the device he was holding and a red cloud appeared and it seemed to rotate around the earth. "In six weeks, another cloud with the same elemental profile will pass earth's orbit," Reed continued. He then pushed another button and a large holographic DNA strand appeared. "A study in space, could advance our knowledge about the structure of the human genome, and help cure countless diseases, extend human life, give kids the chance to live longer, stronger, healthier," Reed started to say but was cut off by Victor.

"Turn it off," Victor said. "Please."

"I don't think I've explained my proposal fully," Reed started to say but was yet again cut off in mid sentence by Victor.

"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 asked as he tossed a magazine across the desk at Reed.

Reed's picture was on the front cover and written underneath his picture were the words, 'Reed Richards Bankrupted.' Elle turned to Ben and saw that he was glaring at Victor. She could definitely sense that her brother didn't like him at all. She was in fact, starting to dislike him herself. She hated how he was treating Reed. She couldn't believe that the two of them used to be good friends.

"You remember when we were in school, we talked about working together. Well that's what I was about to explain," Reed pushed another button on his remote and a holographic image of Victor's space station appeared. "The storm is deadly," Reed continued. "But the shields on your Space Station's control room are designed to protect any occupants inside."

Victor turned on the lights and a grin appeared on his face. "So, it's not just my money you want...it's my toys," Victor asked him.

A small smile appeared on Reed's face and he nodded.

"Tell me, if NASA doesn't trust you then why should I," Victor asked.

Reed glanced at Ben and then at Elle unsure of what to say to Victor's question. Victor suddenly chuckled and Reed, Ben, and Elle turned to him and saw that he was on his feet.

"That's my job," Victor told them as he walked over to the front of his desk to sit on the edge of it. "To stay a step ahead. To know what other men don't."

"Ugh I can't take this," Ben said as he turned to his sister and Reed.

"Calm down Ben," Elle whispered to her brother.

"Your sister's right," Reed told his friend. "This is business. Just work."

"They're right Ben, it is just business," a female voice said from behind them.

Reed's eyes grew wide at the sound of her voice. Reed, Ben, and Elle turned around and saw a young woman with light blonde hair and brown eyes standing before them. She was wearing a brown suit and black dress shoes.

"I think you all know my director of Genetic Research, Susan Storm," Victor said with a smile on his face as she made her way over to the three.

"One more thing he's got," Ben whispered so only Reed could hear him. "Hey Susie," Ben said with a smile on his face when he saw his friend walking towards him.

"Hey," Sue said returning the smile as she gave Ben a hug. "It's so good to see you. How's Debbie," she asked as they parted from their hug.

"Great," Ben told her.

"Good," Sue said. She then turned to Elle and she pulled her into a hug. "It's great to see you again Elle."

"It's great to see you again to," Elle said as they parted from the hug.

Sue's smile then faded when she turned to Reed who looked stunned to see her.

"How have you been," Reed asked in an uncomfortable voice.

"Never better," Sue told him as she held out her hand which he shook.

"This isn't going to be a problem is it," Victor asked.

"No," Sue said as she turned to face him.

"Not at all," Reed assured Victor as he faced him as well.

"Good," Victor said as he made his way over to them. "Then you're just in time to hear the great Reed Richards ask me for help. You know you made a lot of folks at MIT feel like a junior high science fair. So you'll excuse me if I savor the moment," Victor said with a chuckle and a grin on his face.

"You back this mission, and I'll sign over a fair percentage of any applications or," Reed started to say but Victor cut him off in mid sentence.

"The number's seventy-five. And its applications and patents," Victor told him.

Reed's eyes grew wide and Ben spoke.

"What about his first born," Ben asked Victor.

"Ben," Reed warned.

"Come on," Victor said with a laugh. "Twenty-five percent of a billion is enough to keep the lights on for a while isn't it? Maybe even pay off your fourth mortgage on the Baxter Building. Deal," Victor asked as he held out a hand to Reed.

Reed sighed and looked at Victor's hand. After quickly glancing at Sue, he turned back to Victor and shook his hand.

"Well then, to our future," Victor said with a smile on his face as he let go of Reed's hand. "Together," he said as he put an arm around Sue. "It's funny how things turn out isn't it?"

Ben and Elle forced a small smile and Reed spoke.

"Hilarious," Reed said with a sigh.

"How did he know about NASA," Elle asked as she followed Ben and Reed to the elevator. "Maybe he made the call to shut us down."

"Elle's right," Ben agreed.

"Guys, think about all the people we can help if this works," Reed said. "Look, we got what we wanted. That's enough. A few days in space, it'll be great. What's the worst that can happen?"

Reed, Ben, and Elle made it to the elevator and as the doors opened Sue approached them. Reed held the elevator doors open for her and she walked in and they followed. After a few awkward seconds, Sue spoke.

"Reed, you should know that those solar winds have been picking up speed," Sue told him.

"I've factored them into my coordinates," Reed assured her.

Ben and Elle glanced at each other and then back to Reed and Sue hoping a fight didn't start out between the two.

"Right, of course you did. In theory. It's a little different once you're out there," Sue reminded him.

"I can assure you I factored," Reed started to say but Elle spoke up before the fight got worse.

"When are we leaving," Elle asked.

Sue turned to face Elle and a smile appeared on her face. "I'll be scheduling the launch, so you can call me in the morning for resources and crew," Sue said as she held out a card to Reed.

"I think I remember the number," Reed said with a small smile on his face.

"It's been changed," Sue told him.

Reed's smile faded and he took the card from her. Just then Ben cleared his throat and Reed spun around to look at him with a raised eyebrow. He saw Ben indicate his sister, himself, and then nod at Sue.

"As far as crew I was hoping Ben could pilot the mission and his sister could be copilot," Reed asked.

"We already have a pilot on our payroll but one of you are welcome to ride shotgun," Sue said.

"Who's the pilot," Ben asked.

"Remember my brother Johnny," Sue asked with a smile on her face.

Ben and Elle turned to each other with looks of disbelief on their faces.

And that's the end of the first chapter. What's everyone think of Elle being Ben's younger sister? Ben and Johnny are my favortie characters in Fantastic Four so I thought that would be a cool idea. And later on in the story, Ben will definitely be an over protective big brother which will call for some funny moments in the fanfic. I'll try and have chapter two up soon. :)
