"Reed."

The red indicator light flashed on the head set. The electronic voice rang in Reed Richards' ear.

"Transition recognized: Third Floor Fifth Room Grimm, Benjamin. Allow?"

"Allow."

"Reed?"

"Ben."

"You…got a call…The Professor."

Reed looked up from the monitor. His neck stretched around to look at the elevator door. He saw his reflection in the polished silver doors.

"Stretch?" Ben asked, "…Reed? Are ya there?"

"Yeah. Fire up the Fantasti-car."

The Comm link click off.

"Transmission ended. Length…1 minute 45 seconds." The electronic voice said.

Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters 7:00 a.m….

The children gather around the window.

"Is it them?"

"Yeah."

"It is!"

"The Fantastic Four!"

In the large corridors a woman with short red hair pushed a smiling man in a wheel chair. The man, with his fingers arched together. The woman had an equally big smile.

"It has been ages since I've seen him, Jean."

"I know Professor."

The Door was open by both the woman and the man's mind. The four colossal figures before them greeted the two warmly. The woman knows as The Invisible Woman handed a gift basket over to Jean. Reed's hand stretched down and shook Charles'.

"Okay Charles…what is this all about.?"

Charles featured hardened. "I'm afraid something…grave."

Brooklyn 7:28 a.m…

"It's been…like an hour," Bobby complained.

"Shut up kid…I'm looking," Logan said flashing long claws.

"The Professor said the last psychic spike was here. So we'll look here until the Professor says we're done," Scott Summers said was he rummaged through the dark alley way.

"Jeez…you are whh-hhipped!"

Scott Grimaced.

There was a sudden crash from the side of the alley. Scotts hand instinctively flew to his ruby quartz visor. A shadow moved quickly into a building through a door. Scoot began to approach. A gruff hand landed on his shoulder.

"Hold on bub. You know that I go into a…scrap first."

Scott nodded.

Logan flicked his wrist. Three shining claws shot from his knuckles. He walked quickly through the door. There was a rustle inside, Scott slowly began to walk forward.

The corner of the building exploded in such a phenomenal blast the other two X-men were lifted into the air, consumed by the debris.
