I do not in any way own Fantastic Four or their characters. I do own Elizabeth Gust.

Chapter 1: Meeting

Your probably wondering what I'm doing in this picture. Well this is my story of the Fantastic For and me. I'm not part of the four, that would make five, but I am part of the team. My name is Elizabeth, Elizabeth Gust. I'm 16 years old and from the old west, as they call it. I'm wise for my age, and I am told I don't act like a teenager, that I'm more mature and understanding then others my age. The worst thing I've ever done is mouth off to my Mother.

I'm very good age Math and things of that sort. That's the reason I'm going onto the space station. I'm to help observe the reactions of the cloud effects on plants. How it changes the genetic make-up and such.

For more on me, if you care to know, I have health problems. Mostly with my heart and how it restricts my everyday life. I can't do what others my age can like running, jumping, and other physical activities. Long story short, I don't do much.

"So you actually made one my size." I grabbed my uniform from the man, he didn't reply. It was made to fit your body's individual needs, like a second skin. "But why is it purple? The others are blue, right?" I asked running my hands over the soft material.

"To show distinction from you and the others." The man walked out of the room and shut the door.

"Gee, thanks." I sighed, "Purple is my favorite color, but not like this." After striping and putting on the body suit I grabbed the uniform that went over it. Just some pants and a jacket, and ugly too. I threw on the pants and tied the jacket around my waist by its arms. "They should be fine with that" I walked out the door and down one of the many hall ways.

I stopped in front of one of the rooms where four adults where getting ready. "So, are we ready?" a smile on my face showed that I was.

"What? No! No way! I will not have a kid on this trip." The bald one said.

"I don't see what 'kid' you're talking about." I crossed my arms.

"No! I won't allow it!"

"Your letting the one who crashed a flight simulator into a wall go, and your even letting him drive!"

"How do you know about that?"

"I was the one video taping it." I smirked.

"That's where I recognize you from!" Johnny laughed. "How's it going? Elizabeth, right?"

"Yup, I'm doing well, you?"

"Same old, same old. What about your heart thing?"

"It's fine also." I smiled.

The bald one was about to say something when the other man put a hand on his shoulder. "Ben, this is Elizabeth. She is going to do some of the calculations and observing of the cloud." He then looked at me, "Elizabeth, this is Ben and I'm Reed."

"Pleasure to be working with you." I bowed slightly.

"And this is my sister, Sue." Johnny jumped up and stood next to the only other woman in the room.

"So you're the one who has to deal with him." I smiled. "Where's Mr. Von Doom?" that name I knew, and who didn't?

"Where we should be. It's a half hour tell launch." Ben said and put his jacket on over his blue suit.

"Right then, let's get going." Johnny stretched and headed down the hall.

♥♥♥

Ben was a big man, and by that I mean big boned. He wasn't fat or tall by any means. It looked like he did a lot of heavy lifting and field work. Other than his looks he seemed alright, other than the whole 'kid' thing and getting upset about such little things. I think they're little anyways.

Johnny was your natural bad boy. He was smart and good looking to boot. He just liked to live life on the edge. He was tall, skinny, and ripped. That was one good thing about these suits, for me. Going on, Johnny was a very physical person. He did snowboarding, motocross, and other 'extreme' sports. He knows about my heart because he tried to get me to go sky diving with him. I was there to video tape his 'accident' with the flight simulator because I was at NASA studying some stuff for a collage class. Basically I just happened to be there with a small digital camera.

Reed was a tall and skinny man also, but not strong. He's one of the greatest minds of his time. Even though he's smart he still doesn't get much. Like social life and things that really matter to other people. I could tell just by looking at him that he wasn't very social. The way he held himself was stiff and to himself.

Sue, Johnny's sister, was a very beautiful woman. With long blond hair and a figure that would be great for modeling, so Johnny says, I don't see how she's not married. I've heard that she and Mr. Von Doom r were going at it, but I didn't see a ring on her finger.

Sorry it's so short. I didn't want the begining to be to dry with infromation.
