I do not own any characters or settings, (apart from Roxy), throughout this fanfic.

Reed, Johnny, Sue, Ben and Victor weren't the only ones who went on the space flight. Roxanne Grimm, Ben's daughter also joined them as she was an astrophysicist.

"Captain on the bridge!" Ben stood to attention as a camera flashed. "Digital camera, $254. Memory stick, $59. The look on your hard-ass former CO's face when he finds out he's your junior officer: Priceless." Reed smiled as Ben made his way over to Johnny. He flinched as Ben reached for his neck, but he did up the zip. "Thank you, that's so sweet."

"I can handle the ship. I can even handle Mr, Blonde Ambition. But I don't know weather I should be flying or doing swan lake in these suits. I mean who the hell came up with these?"

"Victor did." Sue and Roxy came round the corner carrying an over-suit each.

"The synthetics act as a second skin, adapting to your body's personal needs." Roxy stated, proudly. The suits really showed off both her's and Sue's assets.

"See, now that means it keeps the hot stuff hot and it keeps the cool stuff cool." Reed got up, absolutely baffled.

"Shut-up Johnny." Roxy smirked.

"Hey sweetie." Ben gave her a one-arm hug and a kiss on the cheek.

"Hey dad."

"Ah, isn't that sweet."

"Wow, fantastic." Everyone assumed Reed was talking about Sue. "Material made from self-regulating unstable molecules." Ben and Sue shared a look as did Johnny and Roxy. "I've been working on a formula for this."

"Great minds think alike." Sue sighed. Reed took the suit and started examining it.

"Here you go, dad." I passed him the over suit.

"Thanks, Rox."

"Reed." Sue threw the other one at Reed, while charging past him. He looked slightly confused.

"I'm gonna' go catch up." Roxy jogged after her, while Johnny watched.

"Don't even think about it." Ben said, glaring at him. Johnny just held his hands up. The flight didn't last incredibly long.

"ETA until cosmic event, nine hours." Victor walked briskly forward.

"If your good, maybe next time daddy'll let you drive." Johnny mocked Ben.

"You keep talking and there won't be a next time."

"Guys, let it go." Roxy put one hand on each of their shoulders. Reed stopped to look out a window.

"Long way from the projection booth at the Hayden Planetarium, isn't it?" Sue commented while walking past.

"Yes. Yes, it is."

"We can monitor the cloud's approach and observe the tests from here." They walked into a main room.

"Is it safe?" Ben asked, while part-way unzipping his over-suit.

"The shields on the station should protect us."

"Should?"

"Whats the matter, Ben? Getting paranoid in your old age?"

"Let's start with those samples. Get your suit ready, Ben."

"So I see you're still doing all the heavy lifting." Victor mocked. "Maybe you should have stayed in the lab. Fieldwork never suited you."

"He does the talking, I do the walking. Got It?"

"So take a walk, Ben. Actually, if you'll all excuse me, I need to borrow Susan for a moment."

"Sure." Ben, Johnny, Roxy and Reed walked out. Johnny and Roxy were putting Ben in his suit.

"Please tell me your guy's not trying to rekindle things with my sister again."

"Of course not."

"It's strictly business."

"Yes, well, his eyes say differently, don't they?"

"Hey. Two hearts got busted last time. Maybe she's not over it, either."

"Wow, Dr. Phil, that's deep." Roxy chuckled. "Let's think about that. You got Victor, more money than god, stud of the year, and you got Reed, worlds dumbest smart guy, worth less than the postage stamp. Now that's a real toss up."

"It shouldn't be about what they have to offer you, it should be about how they make you feel."

"Still."

"Don't trouble your tiny little mind."

"Don't wonder off now, boy."

"Have fun, dad." Johnny saluted, then gave a thumbs up to Ben, as he stepped outside the space station.
