There You'll Be

Chapter Three

A large tank stood in the centre of a small laboratory much like Reed's. The body floated lifelessly inside, wires stuck to random body parts and an oxygen mask over his mouth. Reed Richards had never been the subject of investigation before, unless he had put himself in for the study. He had thought himself too in control to ever let himself become the guinea pig. If some one had told him that one day he would be at the mercy of Victor Von Doom he would have laughed in their faces.

"It's ironic don't you think?" his former college allay almost laughed towards him. Reed was barley conscious, his dark eyes hidden behind closed eyelids. Victor's voice was nothing but a blurred noise from behind the tanks thick glass walls and the gallons of green fluid swimming around him.

"The great Reed Richards, the amazing Mr. Fantastic at the mercy of a washed out scientist"

Victor Von Doom or Doom as he liked to now call himself chuckled. He had been waiting for the rest of the Fantastic Four to receive his signals and upon hearing his computer beep loudly he smiled. They would be on their way to rescue their lost team mate but he was not so fickle. Oh no he was not going to give up his prize, not before he had sucked all the scientific knowledge from his mind leaving him a literally blob of dead weight. Then all of Reed knowledge of future inventions and cures would be his. He hadn't really decided what he would do with the lanky nerd once he had done all of that.

"Looks like your friends have received my signal" he breathed a smile turning to look at Reeds floating body.

"I wonder if they'll like my friends" he asked aloud unable to keep the humor from his voice.

"I must admit I was surprised that the niggling little Harry was able to send you here. He didn't have a clue what he was doing in that suit" Victor laughed leaning against the tank, tapping his metal index finger against the glass.

"It's not really like me to lend my best toys to an invalid but he seemed to hate you as much as I do. Well that might be an exaggeration" he chuckled. "But the four eyed weirdo managed to get something right so I don't mind"

"Whoa, whoa where are you going?" Johnny called after his sister. Sue spun on her heels turning back towards the kitchen where her brother was still standing.

"I'm going to get Reed" she said matter-of-factly, her voice rose a little with hope.

"Sue, we don't even know what we could be walking into"

Sue raised an eyebrow at the sound of her brother being cautious.

"Since when did you think before you act?" she began turning back to her bedroom to get her suit.

"Since when did you stop?" Johnny called as he broke into a jog to catch up to her. "Sue look, I know you wanna find Reed but think about it, we spend two weeks running those searches and those tests, two weeks! And what now we just struck luck and found him?"

"So?"

"Not so. Sue don't you get it? This sounds wrong; I mean it was too easy"

"Well maybe who ever has him messed up?" she questioned not needing an answer. She wasn't really listening to her brother; her heart was pounding so hard she could feel her pulse in her ears. The co ordinates for Reed locations were flashing on the monitor back in the lab. She only had to look at them once to memorize them.

Johnny followed her into her bedroom and watched her throw her suit onto the large double bed.

"Sue what do you think you're doing?"

"Why the hell are you fighting me on this?" she yelled spinning around to meet his eye. He could see a thin sheen of watery tears forming over her blue eyes.

"You have no idea what I have gone through the passed two weeks. Now that we know where he is..."

"What if we don't?" Johnny cut her off standing closer to her. She paused for a moment, her eyes looking down to the cream carpet. She had never liked the carpet. It was the same color in every room. 'It's a passive color' Reed had told her when she had first moved into his room with him. Now she would have killed to hear his voice tell her about the carpets again.

"If you're not going to come with me then I'm going alone" she said, her voice dangerously low. She avoided his eye as she grabbed her suit off the bed and marched into the bathroom. Johnny rolled his eyes, gritting his teeth reluctantly running to grab his suit. He didn't even have to ask to know that Sue wasn't going to wait for Ben to get back from where ever it is he went.

He was in his suit in under a minute, an art he had perfected over the past year. He stood alone in the kitchen waiting for Sue to emerge out from her bedroom, he held the telephone in his hand as he anxiously dialed Ben's number hoping he could inform their friend of what was happening and he could meet them there. It went straight to answer phone causing Johnny to hang up the phone cursing under his breath. He dropped the cordless phone onto the kitchen table and stood there for a moment listening to the silence. He hoped for his sister's sake that those co ordinates were right.

Sue met him in the kitchen, her slim body hugged tightly by her blue suit. Her long blonde hair swung loosely around her shoulders and down her back. She smiled at Johnny and gestured for him to follow her towards the elevators.

"I tried to phone Ben to tell him where we were going but I couldn't get through" Johnny mumbled as the two waited for the elevator. Sue nodded but didn't look like she had heard anything. Johnny frowned at her. For a moment she didn't seem like the cautious, caring Sue he had known his whole like. This Sue standing in front of him didn't seem to care that they could be walking into a potential trap or that there could be millions of gun armed people waiting for them at their desired location. Her face was expressionless but there was something in her eyes that he didn't like. The only time he had really seen his sister like this before was when their mum had died back when they were children. Grief didn't sit well with his sister he decided and now that she had been given some form of hope that her fiancé was still alive she was like a raging… he didn't know, just something that raged.

They sat in silence as they made their way towards the co ordinates. Johnny drove. He was really surprised when Sue had agreed just like that to let him drive, not even a small effort of argument. She just wanted to get there. Johnny had long since given up trying to convince her that jumping straight into action was a bad idea.

The streets of New York were still busy with people trying to get home from work, the darkening sidewalks lit up with break lights from the numerous cars filling the roads.

Doom turned to a blank screen standing beside his computer and switched it on. The inside of what looked like an old warehouse appeared in black and white. His lips curved into a smile and he turned towards his docile victim.

"I know you can see this Reed, it's something you don't wanna miss"

Reed's closed eye lids twitched at the sound of Victor's voice. He was barely conscious, his mind slipping in and out of pitch black.

Victor sat and watched the monitor for a moment, his eyes flickering from the screen to his computer and back again. He couldn't contain his excitement. The rest of the team should be arriving at the warehouse any time soon if he knew them right and, if his minions had any ounce of knowledge, they wouldn't be walking out alive.

"Oh looks like your friends are just arriving" he announced excitedly as two extra bodies appeared into view.

"Are you sure this is where we're supposed to be?" Johnny asked gazing around the empty warehouse. He shivered despite his constant body temperature at the large space. The walls were built out of some old metal padding, the floor was literally dirt and all that seemed to be inside this massive space were large, broken wooden boxes. The lights above were smashed and broken, there was only one which managed to light the room and it was on constant flicker. There was a single ladder on the far side of the large room leading up to an upper level which was literally a few bits of wood following the four walls around to make a floor.

"This place gives me the creeps" he announced dryly turning to his sister. Sue was looking around the building in the same manner he was, confusion written across her lowered brow.

"This is where to co ordinates say we're supposed to be" she mumbled quietly walking further into the warehouse. Johnny scratched the back of his head, letting out a small sigh.

"I don't like the look of this Sue" he stated from behind her. She didn't turn to look back at him as he spoke; she continued examining the spaces between the empty, broken boxes and up the walls onto an upper level held stable by old wooden beams.

Doom edged closer to the screen as he watched the two wonder around what looked like an old abandoned room. He congratulated himself for being so cunning to have come up with such a brilliant plan as he watched one of his armed men sneak up on Johnny and shoot the poor boy in the left shoulder before he even knew what was coming. He erupted with laughter as he watched the youngest member of the four fall to his knees, the dry dirt floor kicking up dust as he fell.

"Reed you have to watch this!" he giggled as if he were talking to a friend. "Two down"

The silencer on the gun had worked and hadn't alerted Johnny to the shot before it was too late. He gasped, his breathing cut short as he felt a burning sensation exceeding his own body temperature. He fell to his knees suddenly disorientated trying to reach behind him to feel the wond but his skin siezed and pain surged through his left side. What had just happened?

"Johnny!"

He heard his sister scream but he couldn't seem to find her voice. She seemed to be blurred out and distant.

Sue watched in horror as her brother fell forward onto his stomach and suddenly she could see the man who had shot him. He stood all in black a few feet from where Johnny lay. A large, black gun was held tightly in his gloved hands and after a moment he aimed the weapon again.

Sue's eyes went from the stranger to Johnny. What the hell had she done? This was not like her at all. How could she have been so stupid as to have just run straight into something without thinking it through? She had to get the two of them out of here. She watched as the minion aimed his gun toward her and then his change in expression when he could no longer see her. God she loved her power.

Have to keep quiet. Once she got to Johnny she could create a force field around him and with the two of them invisible she could get them out no problem. She just hoped Johnny hadn't put on too much weight. When was the last time she had carried him? When he was like eight?

"She's a tricky one that fiancé of yours" Doom observed drumming his fingers on the glass tank that held Reed.

"It really is too bad that you won't make it to husband and wife" he turned to Reed, failing to keep the amusement from his voice.

Sue had him by the wrist, dragging him through the dirt as silently as she could. She wanted to cry. Johnny hadn't moved or reacted to her touch. His lifeless body didn't seem to notice it was being dragged through the dirt. She hadn't rolled him over in hopes that if there was blood, it wouldn't leave a trail.

There were three men now. One was standing a few feet away from them, his gun still pointed and two walking around on the wooden level above them. All of them had guns and they were all dressed the same. Black combat pants and matching jacket. Some form of minion uniform she assumed. She dragged Johnny behind a pile of broken wood, laying him on his stomach on the floor and shook off her invisibility.

Her eyes turned huge and her hands flew to her mouth when she finally saw her brothers wound. Yes there was blood and lots of it. His healthy glowing skin had paled from the shock of the wound which was just above his left shoulder blade. Checking his pulse she made a silent prayer when she could feel the weak pumps of his pulse in his neck.

"Johnny" she whispered mutely as her eyes welled with tears. What was the matter with her? It was as if she hadn't done this sort of thing before, just running into an obvious trap when some one had tried to tell her multiple times. Now not only did she fear for the life of her fiancé but her brother as well.

She held her breath when the sound of the dirt floor crunching under body weight reached her ears. She edged in front of her brother protectively and gently touching his arm clocked the two of them again. She pursed her lips nervously as a shadow cast on the ground beside her as one of the hit men edged closer to their hiding place. She turned, her eyes searching for the door they had come through and could just see the edge of it passed the boxes that were hiding them. It was only a few meters, she could make that.

She gripped Johnny tighter as the hit man came into view, his masked face peering around the edge of the dusty wood.

An eyebrow cocked on Dooms forehead as he watched one of his men go flying. Sue had obviously used her power to knock him off his feet with, what he hated to add, impressive force. She had become stronger since his last encounter with her and she was becoming a pain in his backside.

He cursed inwardly knowing that Susan had probably dragged Johnny's body out by now and yeah, what ever.

"Next time" he breathed dangerously. One of them was injured and that was a small accomplishment for the hired help who weren't going to be breathing long enough to see the sun rise.

Thats another chapter done and dusted. Let me know what you think.
