Same Old Johnny
(Brandy's pov)
I was standing with Ben and Reed on a platform thing. It was way to early for this on a Saturday but oh well.
By the way, the time was like 7:30 and I barely got any sleep. Nightmares and I was excited! I get to miss school to go up into space! How sweet is that?!
Ben (yes I call my Uncle just plain old Ben) was looking through his binoculars at something. I was listening to my black Ipod (Teenagers by My Chemical Romance) but paused it when my Uncle opened his mouth.
"Can't do it. Cannot do it." Ben said.
Reed pulled his own binoculars away from his face.
"External S.R.B's, orbital system engines. It's just like the shuttle he flew-" Reed started.
"No! I cannot take orders from the underwear model." Ben said.
I snickered at that. Oh, that's funny.
Reed didn't think it was so funny. "Oh, come on, now."
"That wing nut washed out of NASA for sneaking two Victoria's Secret wannabes into a flight simulator." Ben said.
I cocked my eyebrow and rolled my eyes.
"Youthful high spirits." Reed said.
"They crashed it into a wall. A flight simulator." Ben finished.
I made a surprised sound. "Really? Ha!"
"When have I ever asked you to do something you absolutely said you could not do?" Reed asked.
"Five times." Ben answered right on cue, holding up five fingers.
I chuckled.
Ben started to head down the stairs and inside. I started to follow him when Reed said, "I had it at four."
"Well, this makes five."
I snorted in laughter.
A bit later we were in the area, were we could put stuff we weren't taking up into space or weren't allowed to. A locker room in a way.
I glanced at my uncle as he pulled out a notebook and flipped to a certain spot.
"I miss you already, Debs." I heard him say softly.
I know he was looking at a picture of them two, that I had took one day.
Debbie is great, like a big sister to me. I like her, but she doesn't even know what I've been through...
"Captain on the bridge!" I heard someone call loudly.
My uncle jumped up and stood to attention. I even jumped a tiny bit.
I looked at the door and saw none other then Johnny Storm. Wonderful. Seemed like it was the same old Johnny.
Johnny had a digital camera and took a picture of Ben when he stood to attention.
"Digital camera- 254 dollars. Memory stick- 59 dollars. The look on your hard-ass former C.O's face when he finds out he's your junior officer- priceless." Johnny said, walking in fully and then sitting on the arm of the chair that I was in.
My uncle Ben stepped toward, him looking a bit pissed.
I wondered for a quick second if I should move so I wouldn't get bloody when my uncle just zipped up his uniform fully.
Johnny even moved backwards a bit before my uncle zipped up his uniform. Johnny chuckled. "Thank you. That's so sweet."
"I can handle this ship. I can even handle Mr.Blond Ambition. But I don't know if I should be flying or doing Swan Lake in these suits." Ben said, turning and pulling out his suit from the little closet thing. "I mean, who the hell came up with these?"
"Victor did." I looked behind Johnny and saw Sue walking in with what looked like another suit or two. "The synthetics act as a second skin, adapting to your body's individual needs."
"See, now that means it keeps the hot stuff hot and the cool stuff cool." Johnny added.
I stood up and rolled my eyes. "Johnny, have you been reading a book lately?" I asked in mock surprise.
Before Johnny could say anything, Reed said, "Wow. Fantastic. Material made from self-regulating, unstable molecules. I've been working on a formula for this."
I rolled my eyes as Sue said, "Great minds think alike."
"Here Ben." Sue handed Ben his suit, guess it wasn't his suit in the thing.
"Thanks sweetie." Ben said, taking it.
"Reed." she tossed him his.
I chuckled.
"Come on, Brandy, I'll show you where you can change."
I nodded and followed Sue. "I'll be back my dear uncle." I joked as I followed Sue.
I heard Johnny say, "That's little Brandy Grimm?"
"Watch it hot head." came Uncle Ben's warning.
I snorted.
Sue gave me my suit and told me that it would... in simple terms would kinda enhance some features that I don't have... Which made me blush and also the fact that I don't care really how I look helps a bit..
I got dressed feeling a bit self-conscious.
'This is gonna be fun. Not. Uncle Ben might not even let me go like this...'
Uncle Ben allowed it but let's just say, a few people got scared of my Uncle. I may be 18 but my Uncle will always be scaring the guys I like or the guys checking me out (which I don't think there are any that ever do).
The ride up to the space station was exciting to say the least. I never thought my heart would stop beating so fast.
I walked next to my uncle to where ever he had to work, cause I was to stay with him.
"E.T.A until cosmic event, nine hours." Victor was telling us.
"If you're good, maybe next time Daddy'll let you drive." Johnny was saying to Uncle Ben, mocking him a little.
"You keep talkin' and there won't be a next time." Ben warned.
I chuckled. I'd pay to see that.
As I walked with Ben and Johnny I head Sue say, "Long way from the projection booth at the Hayden Planetarium, isn't it?"
Hmm, bringing up the place they had their first date, huh? Hmmm...
"Yes. Yes, it is." I heard Reed reply.
"We can monitor the cloud's approach and observe tests from here." Sue was telling us when we came into the room well what she said.
"Is it safe?" Ben asked.
"Yea, is it? Cause you know, you could just drop me off at the yellow brick road." I joked with a smirk. Debbie had been watching that movie, 'Wizard Of Oz' when I had been getting ready to go and that joke got stuck in my mind.
"The shields on the station should protect us." Reed said.
Ben looked at him as did I. I knew my face read, "should?!". "Okay, you can drop me off right here. I see my ride. The wicked witch of the west." I muttered.
"'Should'?" Ben asked.
"What's the matter, Ben? Getting paranoid in your old age?" Victor asked coming over toward us.
"Let's start loading those samples. Get your suit ready, Ben." Reed instructed. I knew he was trying to avoid a fight.
"So I see you're still doing all the heavy lifting." Victor commented.
I gave him a look and nearly said, 'And what's it to you?' but didn't.
"Maybe you should have stayed in the lab. Field work never suited you." Victor said to Reed.
I opened my mouth to say something but Uncle Ben beat me to it. "He does the talkin'. I do the walkin'. She does the artsy stuff and the soundtrack stuff. Got it?" Uncle Ben said.
I smirked. I liked my job. Hehe.
"So, take a walk, Ben. Actually, if you'll all excuse me, I need to borrow Susan for a moment." Victor said.
"Sure." Reed said.
I made a face at Victor and then followed Uncle Ben and Johnny to wherever and Reed walked next to me. Reed went to do his thing and I was left with Ben and Johnny-boy.
While Johnny was helping Uncle Ben into his suit, I watched and listened.
"Please tell me your guy's not trying to rekindle things with my sister again." Johnny said.
I rolled my eyes. "It's none of your business if anything happens." I muttered.
"Of course not. It's strictly business." Ben said, from inside his suit.
"Yea, business, Johnny. You know, work?" I added, saying the last bit a bit mockingly almost.
"Yes, well, his eyes say differently, don't they?" Johnny commented.
"Hey. Two hearts got busted last time. Maybe she's not over it either." Ben said.
"Wow, Dr.Phil, that's deep. Let's think about that," Johnny said, getting the plants for Ben to take outside.
"You got Victor- more money than God, stud of the year-" Johnny continued.
I cut in. "I'm surprised you didn't give that award to yourself Johnny." I remarked.
Johnny gave me a dry look for interrupting his little speech and went on as if I hadn't interrupted him at all. "And you got Reed, world's dumbest smart guy worth less than a postage stamp. That's a real toss-up."
"Don't trouble your tiny little mind." Ben commented, making me laugh.
"Don't wander off now, boy." Johnny said.
"Johnny." Ben said.
Johnny stopped what he was doing and looked at Ben.
"Keep your hands away from my niece."
Johnny cocked a eyebrow and glanced at me and then at Ben and gave a thumbs up as I knew I had to be faintly blushing at the most. I stuck my tongue out at Ben.
Johnny went over to a computer and punched in a few things and a computer voice said, 'Securing air lock chamber.'
Johnny and I stood as the door closed and Johnny saluted Ben and then gave him two thumbs up. Ben returned it as I gave him a thumbs up, while making rabbit ears behind Johnny's head, making Uncle Ben smirk.
Uncle Ben turned around to the door opening to let him out into space. I pulled my arm back so Johnny wouldn't see I was giving him rabbit ears.
I could admit that Johnny was good looking but did that mean I wanted to date him? Sorry, but too cocky, arrogant and egoistical for me. Maybe it's a cover but nope sorry. But I knew why Uncle ben worried.
He didn't want me to get hurt... He didn't want... anything like... that to happen again. I ran a hand through my hair, cutting off those bad thoughts.
"So..." Johnny said, drawing out the single word. I gave him a look.
"Wow, such a big vocabulary." I commented.
Johnny rolled his eyes. "Sharp and witty as ever."
"Yea, that's never gonna change." I remarked.
"Yeah. So, how's things been?" Johnny asked.
"Okay."
Everything was quiet for a moment.
"How's things for you?" I asked.
"Good. Got a good job and plenty of girls." Johnny answered cockily.
I rolled my eyes. Same old Johnny, wonderful. Excuse the sarcasm.
I started to comment when I heard the faint sound of someone running and heard over the little communicators, "Ben, get inside now!"
A/N: Uh oh... LOL :D Review!!
