Disclaimer: I don't own the Fantastic Four, movies or comics, or Chris Evans. I'd be rich if I did. I don't know if an Emporial Building exists, but if it does I don't own it, I also don't own pop tarts but I think they're the coolest thing since sliced bread! I don't know if aliens really exist but I'm not arrogant enough to believe that in this gigantanormous universe, we are the only planet with life.

This is my first attempt at a Fantastic 4 fanfic. Don't know if this is good enough, no seriously I have no idea what I'm doing except that my brain's thinking this, so I'm writing it. I'd like to thank yaonne- san, Rose, xxClois-LuverXX, ShadowWolfDagger, leslie and AMBER for reviewing, and everyone who reviews after the fact.

Warnings: this will have mentions of child abuse.

This is an AU, it's gonna have flashbacks, and there is a 12 year old gap between Sue and Johnny, at the start of the story. Takes place after Rise of the Silver Surfer.

Johnny

Chapter 4: Grown Up Old People

"When you can't remember why you're hurt, that's when you're healed." Jane Fonda

Previously on Johnny:

Then they heard a high-pitched voice question, "Where am I," and simultaneously turned towards Sue, where a scared little five year old boy had finally woken up.

Johnny, the miniature version, had gotten up, off of Sue's lap, where he'd been resting and was backing away steadily. Studying her warily, when he'd deemed he was far enough, he repeated, "Where am I? Who are you?" He sounded strong despite the fact that he looked scared to death.

Seeing that Sue was speechless, Reed headed towards Johnny, looked him in the eyes, then held his hands up, as if saying, 'I'm not gonna hurt you,' then said, "We're at the Emporial Building in New York City." Then after Johnny had nodded that he'd heard, continued, "I'm Reed Richards," he then pointed at Ben, "that's Ben Grimm," and finally he pointed at Sue, wondering if Johnny would recognize her, "and that…that's Sue Storm, your sis..."

He was interrupted by Johnny, who said, "That's not my sister, my sister's seventeen years old, she's at college, and she's not a grown-up old person!"

This finally forced Sue to recover from her shock and she walked up to Johnny without hesitating for a moment. She knelt in front of him and raised her hand to place it on his cheek, her eyes widening when he flinched and then blinked when he realized that her gesture wasn't meant to hurt him.

Hand still on his little, baby face, she ran her fingers through his hair short hair soothingly, "Johnny, it's me, your Suzie, look at me."

Eyes wide, as if not believing his eyes, he held up his adorably-tiny, weak hand, and hesitantly rested it on her cheek, as if to make himself believe it wasn't a mirage, that his big sister was really there. His eyes widened when he touched the warm flesh of her cheek, and he stared into her eyes, his eyes widening even more, it would have been comical if not for the serious situation, when he found what he'd been looking for. Then in a second he was in her arms, head tucked into the crook of her neck, holding onto her with all his might.

Sue held on to him just as tightly, feeling the heartbroken sobs wracking through his tiny frame and his big fat tears soaking up neck area of her clothes, but not having it in her to give a care about them. She rubbed big circles on his back, like she'd done before when they were both kids, and murmured nonsensical words of comfort in a vain attempt to soothe him, "Its okay, Johnny. I'm here baby, you're all right. You're fine. Calm down. You're safe, Suzie's got you." She kept up with her litany of words, but as she kept trying to calm down her baby brother, one question ran through her head, one she could tell was also running through the minds of Reed and Ben. One that Reed finally voiced, as a whisper, "What happened to you, Johnny?"
