Well to stop any confusion. I know i have two F4 fics already up and I know they are a continuation of the same story. BUT I had an idea and this tory was born. This one goes in between by other two (After Revelations and before The Evil that men do). Please let me know what you think of it.
"What did you do that for?" Amara said, slightly annoyed.
"Mainly 'cos I could," Johnny Storm replied simply. The couple were lounging around Central Park in the middle of a picnic. The weather had been unseasonably warm for the past few days and they had vowed to make the most of the quiet days they were given. Johnny had just thrown a mini sausage roll at the brunette. She picked it up from where it landed a few centimetres away and threw it back at him.
"You know this is war, right?" She replied, picking up a bag of crisps. She started throwing the crisps at him, one by one. He laughed and reached into the picnic basket and pulled out a container of chopped up carrots. He started chucking them at her in return whilst trying to block the crisps. Amara laughed at how silly he looked as she telekinetically made the carrots he threw at her, fly back towards him.
"What did we say?" Reed Richards said walking over to the couple, his arm around Sue Storm's back. "No public displays of our powers unless it's an emergency." Johnny, who had his back to Reed, pulled a face and mimicked Reed, while he said spoke.
"Grow up Johnny," Sue said to her brother as she sat down on the blanket next to Amara. "How're you holding up?"
"Doom!" Johnny shouted. "I know you can hear me! Show yourself!" He demanded. Three things happened at once. The brightly lit room turned pitch black, an evil laugh echoed around the room and Johnny was pushed forwards.
"Are you sure this is wise?" Dooms voice roared. Johnny stood his ground and started at the patch of darker shadow.
"How could you do it to her?" He demanded.
"Ah, as I thought, this is about Kira."
"No you pile of crap, this is about Amara," Johnny shouted. Doom laughed once again.
"You've always been a hot head Johnny; it's not an attractive quality."
"I'll show you a hot head," Johnny fired back. He flamed on and walked towards Doom. Suddenly Johnny felt a droplet of water hit his shoulder, the flames there sizzled and went out. Johnny stopped walking as more droplets of water fell on him.
"Oops, looks like someone let off the sprinkler system!" Doom said. Johnny began to feel very scared. If he remained wet he couldn't use any of his powers.
"Crap," he whispered.
"Ok, I guess." Amara replied snapping out of her reverie. "I'm still finding it hard to deal with." It had only been two weeks before that the Fantastic Five had fought and defeated Victor Von Doom, the second time for the original members. Amara was finding it hard to accept the things she did as Kira, the identity forced upon her by Dr Doom and his followers.
"Johnny no!" Sue called.
"What?" Doom called as he spun to face Sue. "How did you get in here?" He demanded.
"Wasn't hard," Amara shouted. She hurled a telekinetic wave, combined with one of Sue's force field, towards Doom. It hit him square in the chest and he staggered backwards. Ben and Reed ran over to help Johnny.
"Kira," a voice said. "I will make you pay." Amara shuddered as she found the source of the voice.
"Chris?" She asked, her body feeling paralyzed.
"Yes, baby, I'm alive." He smirked. "No thanks to your boy toy though."
"Leave her alone," Sue shouted.
"Ah, this is a private conversation," He said as he flung a energy ball at Sue. She quickly put up a force field to shield herself. As she lowered the force field Chris sent another one at her. The second energy ball hit her on her chest and she fell to the floor. Amara stared at Sue's still body.
"You bastard," she whispered. 'Johnny, I need you' she sent telepathically. Chris powered up another energy ball and walked towards her. Reed quickly shut off the sprinkler system and Johnny threw a ball of flames at Chris. It hit his back and Chris screeched in pain. Johnny took this chance and started beating him up again.
"Amara go help the others," Johnny ordered. Amara nodded and ran towards Sue. She woke Sue up and pulled her to her feet.
"Sue, we need to attack Doom at the same time again." Sue nodded.
Sue nodded and looked at her sympathetically. Amara had been having sessions with her cousin, Reed, to try to work through the issues, and she had definitely made progress, but it was hard to come to terms with trying to kill her closest friends, relative and lover. Not to mention the fact that as Kira, Amara had broken Johnny's heart by being with another guy. She couldn't have helped it; it was all part of Doom's mind control, but the guilt she felt was very real.
"I have a plan, Ben finish Chris off. That will make Johnny focus. Reed we need to attack Doom at the same time." They nodded did what they were told.
Ben rushed over to where Johnny was beating Chris up. Ben picked up a heavy chair and slammed it down onto Chris.
"I think he's dead now." Ben said quietly as Johnny still kicked Chris' abdomen.
"I guess you're right," Johnny said after a few more kicks.
"Come on, they need us," Ben said. They headed back over to the others.
The last two weeks had been relatively peaceful, the masks had disappeared the moment Doom was destroyed and the Fantastic Five couldn't find a trace of them anywhere. Although, they were loathe admitting that they were gone forever. If Doom came back once, there was always the chance he'd be back in some shape or form.
"Ready guys?" Amara asked. They nodded. "Good. 3-2-1 Now!" Johnny threw a white hot ball of flame towards Doom. The fire ball connected with Amara's pressure wave and Sue's force field. When the attacks hit Doom there was a bright explosion, making all the glass in the windows smash and all the lights to go out.
"This isn't over Fantastic Five!" Dooms voice shrieked. A few seconds later and they were standing in pitch black.
"Is it over?" Sue asked quietly. Johnny formed a ball of flame in his hand to act as a light.
"I think it finally is," Ben said. Johnny walked over to where Doom had been standing.
"There's nothing more than ash here," he informed the others.
Sue had insisted on her fiancé running tests on Amara to see if Kira would be returning any time soon. As far as Reed could tell, Amara was cured. That had been enough for Sue. She had hugged her friend and apologized for making Reed double check. Amara instantly told her she would have done the same. You can never be too careful, Amara said to herself.
"So, now you've ruined most of the food," Sue said. "Is there anything left untouched?" Johnny raked around the picnic basket and a grin spread across his face. Amara had to giggle at the expression. He looked like a child that had something planned. Sue seemed to realise this too as she looked at her brother warily.
"Johnny, don't even-" Sue started before Johnny pulled out a bottle of what looked like whipped cream. He started squirting it at his sister, who managed to deflect it with a force field. It ended up landing on Reed. "Oh god Reed, I'm so sorry." Sue said apologetically as she took in the sight of her fiancé covered in cream.
"What was it I said about powers in the open?" Reed said, but he had the smallest of twinkles in his eyes.
"I said I was sorry Reed," Sue said, she missed the twinkle. "It was an accident." Reed smiled slightly and shrugged. He pulled a napkin out of the picnic basket and started wiping the cream off his shirt.
"Where's Ben?" Amara asked, changing the subject.
"I think he went to see Alicia," Sue replied. "He said something about spending more time with her."
"That's a nice idea," Amara replied. She agreed that Ben should have some sort of normal life outside the craziness. At least the other members could go out and be classed as normal, poor Ben always had the rocky exterior that made him stick out. Especially as they were having a fighting free few weeks.
