Reed was setting up some very important lab equipment when Johnny let out a slight moan, Reed ran to his side when he finally took into realization that Johnny was having another pain attack. Reed looked at his watch and then outstretched his arm to grab his chart and pen. He jotted down what his watch said and then lifted another piece of paper and shook his head in dissapointment.

"What's with the watch?" Johnny asked through clenched teeth

"I put down the time of your last attack in your file, now I'm recording this attack." Reed briefly explained

"Am I poisoned or in labor?" Johnny asked with a painful chuckle

"With most common poisons such as plants and cleaning products, death usually occurs only 24 hours later without side effects such as yours. That is why it is important to record these things for further observation to discover the cure to your poison." Reed explained

"Always playing the hero, Reed." Johnny said sarcastically

"Well I try." Reed smiled

"Are we even remotely close to getting me back on my feet?" Johnny asked after his attack subsided

"Just hang tight, John." Reed assured

"I have been 'hanging tight' for the past four weeks, Reed. You wanna know how I feel right now? I feel like if I move an inch, I'll scream until people in Tokyo can hear me! I feel like if I try to eat something, I'll get puke all over your damn rug! I feel like if I move my blanket, then I'll freeze to death! That's how I feel, Reed! I know that I'm dying! Why can't you try to change how I feel instead of being arrogant and trying to fix your guilt around?" Johnny outbursted

"Sometimes you and Sue can be so much alike." Reed chuckled

"What do you mean?" Johnny asked

"Cause you can defintely be an ass." Reed noted

"I'm sorry." Johnny mumbled

Reed suddenly saw something, it was about the size of a penpoint but it was suddenly visible on Johnny's neck.

"An injection point..." Reed said to himself

Reed suddenly broke into hysterical laughter, which frightened Johnny.

"An injection point!" Reed announced to Johnny

Reed gave Johnny a quick hug

"John, you are well on your way to a recovery." Reed assured

Reed dashed from the room and down the stairs where Sue was watching TV with Ben

"Guys, I just found an injection point on Johnny's neck. This must mean that the poison was adminstered through some form of vaccination, perhaps a high dosage-" Reed cut himself off when he saw Ben and Sue looked worried

"What's wrong?" Reed asked

Sue flipped on the T.V, Reed saw an African-American female reporter on the big screen with a picture of Johnny in his Fanastic Four uniform on the top right hand of the screen. The reporter stated:

This is Susan Carthwright reporting to you live from our studio. We have just recieved word from an anonymous source that the youngest member of the Fantastic Four team, Johnny Albright Storm, has taken ill with a mysterious disease. As of now, scientific researchers and paramedics are heading to the Baxter Building to remove the young man from the premises and place him inside a contamantion tent for further research. Police will be called and to help aid paramedics remove Mr.Storm by force. In other news-

Reed turned off the TV and kicked the table in frustration, he sat down in a chair and bury his head in his hands.

"What do we do now?" Sue asked

"I think the question is ...Who figured out about Johnny?" Ben asked

"I can answer both questions in one word...Doom." Reed said solemnly
