Hello! This is my first Fantastic Four fic, just so you know. MadDoc and Catherine are both mine. Enjoy!
"Johnny! You are impossible! All you do is date girl after girl after girl! Sooner or later they were all going to find out about each other! You can't just live your life playing girls. Girls hate that. They want someone they can count on. But you're stuck in your own world were you never have to grown up and settle down. Where you'll never have to truly care about anyone. Now all those girls are probably out there trying to think of a way to get back at you for playing them like that. Face it Johnny, you never stay with any of the girls you date because you're scared…"
"I am not scared!"
"Yes. You are. You're scared of commitment. Maybe you should just stay in the apartment for a while." Sue scolded her brother for all the trouble he had caused.
Johnny's eye slowly fluttered open to see MadDoc and a young beautiful girl standing before him.
"Its good that you've awoken Johnny Storm," Johnny looked around and saw he was chained to a wall; he quickly tried to burn through the metal.
"Your powers are useless here Mr. Storm. I have made prisons special for each of the Fantastic Four heroes. My daughter, Catherine, will now attend to your wounds. I don't want you dying on me." MadDoc said with a sly grin as he walked out of the room. Catherine knelt down next to the tied up Johnny and started to remove the various bandages from random places.
"Daughter huh?"
"Unfortunately." Catherine muttered. She took a wet washcloth and started to clean the cuts and scrapes. Johnny cringed when the washcloth came in contact with certain tender wounds.
"Why do say its unfortunate? Don't you like working for your evil father?" Johnny joked, thinking about how the girl in front of him could be related to the chaotic psycho that captured him, "You look a bit like him, are you just as powerful? Or should I say, crazy."
The next thing he knew her hand was wrapped tightly around his throat and her eyes were glowing silvery and so was the air around her. Johnny was surprised at how effing strong this girl was!
"Don't you EVER compare me to him! I am NOTHING like my so called father!" She closed her eyes and slowly removed her hand from his throat. When she reopened her eyes again they were back to their normal blue-silver color. Johnny just stared.
'This girl is more powerful than I estimated.'
Catherine went back to caring for his wounds. She hovered her hands over his wounds and healed them within 2 seconds, then moved onto the next one. Neither of them said anything until all his wounds were healed. She helped him get a shirt on without removing his restrains.
"So, if you don't like you father and what he does. Then why do you help him?"
"Its hard not to when you don't have a choice."
"Everyone has a choice."
"Not me." She temporary left and come back with a tray of food. Once again neither of them said anything while she helped him eat the foods she brought him. She got up with the try and started to walk toward the door.
"Good night Johnny." She said without looking at him as she began to close the door.
"Wait, Catherine." She turned and looked at him.
"I'm sorry about what I said. Your nothing like MadDoc." She just stood there starring at him for a moment before she gave him a quick nod before walking out closing the door behind her.
Johnny lay there on a soft fire resistant feather mattress, tied to a stone bed headboard. Thinking about the day's events. Earlier that day he was the only one home, so he was the only one who became aware of the danger lurking at the docks. MadDoc, the Fantastic Four's recent villain, his sub-title is The Wizard, because he has a wand than send out energy that temporarily paralyses anyone it comes in contact with. MadDoc's real name is Doctor Madis Arngrim, a once famous scientist who recently went crazy over his experiments and the loss of his wife. MadDoc also has an army of robot minions, which he had created for the U.S army but turned down the idea of robots running the countries army system. So there Johnny was, whooping some robot army ass for they couldn't hit him when he flew and were not resistant to his fiery touch. Johnny thought he was wining until he realized his attacks began to slow down because MadDoc was off hiding but hitting Johnny with his paralyzing wand. Then suddenly MadDoc snuck up behind him and hit Johnny with a few powerful attacks to knock him out. Apparently it work because now Johnny was stuck in MadDoc's hideout, tied to a stone solid room, with no idea of how to escape, how to communicate with his friends or even if his friends even realized he was gone.
Johnny sighed, "They probably haven't even noticed I'm gone. They are all too caught up in their own love lives to notice anything anymore."
Johnny looked around the room that he was imprisoned in. It was well furnished and had wonderful paintings hanging on the dull gray stonewalls. Then he saw a portrait of a beautiful woman. The woman in the painting had a warm smile and face. He noticed the woman had the very same eye-color and facial features as Catherine, although the woman had a softer and much older look to her.
"She must have been Catherine's mother. They're close to being identical." In the corner on the painting was a title and signature that said "Aleera Arngrim, by Catherine Arngrim" Johnny stared at the painting a little longer thinking about Catherine's icy cold actions and look about her. He was thinking about how could someone so cold resemble someone who had such a warm presence. Johnny looked at the painting's eyes; he then realized that he had seen that warmth. He thought back to then he apologized for insulting Catherine earlier that day. That warmth, even if it was for a split second, had sparked though Catherine's eyes before she left. Still thinking about Catherine and Aleera's remarkable resemblance, he slowly, uncomfortable drifted asleep.
Please Review! Bye!
