Chapter 10 Making Things Right


Sue bustled down the street, trying to get as far away from the boys as possible, she could definitely handle herself. She could take on anyone with her magnificent powers. She didn't need anyone to save her. Sue looked up as a large grey cloud loomed above the city, it looked like rain, everything was downcast in a large shade. The whole city looked dreary and not busy like it usually was.

"Damsel in distress. Hmph! I'll show those boys I can handle anything!" Sue raged as she walked.

Sue walked down the road, a large wind picked up, her skirt was picked up. She heard whistles from men walking past her and it was really gross for a fourteen year old to hear. Sue walked against it, eventually it had died down. She walked past the store where she and Alicia had gone on their 'girl trip'. It had been fun, they had to do that another day.

Sue turned her head as a car drove alongside her. It was a small limo, black with tinted windows. Sue was definitely afraid, she tried to ignore the car, but it braked. Someone from the limo got out and walked to the sidewalk where she was.

"Get in the car. We need to get to the lab and diagnose our problems." It was Victor Von Doom.

"No, leave me alone. I'm not going anywhere with you." Sue turned but he grabbed her wrist harshly, "You are hurting me."

There was another voice behind them, "Now, I know you're not hurting my girlfriend. Otherwise there is going to be a serious problem."

"What're you going to do Richards? I know you don't want to be exposed to the whole city. What are you going to do? Give me a deadly stare? You're weak Richards. These powers make us gods, but you're afraid people will hate you. " Victor sneered evilly.

"Cut it out Victor. Leave him alone!" Sue yelled helplessly.

"Oh look Reed, you're girlfriend has to stand up for you. How sad is that? Come on Sue, you need a man who can take care of you while caring for himself. Obviously, you've made only one mistake, so make up for it and come with me."

"No Victor. You're no man. You're acting like some snot nosed bully. If you still want to be my friend I suggest you shut up and leave us alone."

"You'll both regret everything that has changed!" Victor warned, opening the limo door and then slamming it shut. The limo drove off at a surprisingly fast speed.

Sue turned, "Reed." Tears filled her eyes as he hugged her, she dug her face into his neck, trying to keep warm from the rain that now enveloped the whole city.

"Listen Sue, I'm sorry about what I said. I didn't mean it." Reed apologized. Sue cried harder and then hiccupped.

"You know how I get…"

"I know, but I had to apologize and make sure you were okay."

"It's a good thing you came." Sue said, she looked up, eyes red and puffy. The cloud gave its all, rain poured out unrelentingly.

A breeze blew through, Reed reached out to remove a stray lock of hair blocking Sue's face. Reed kissed her passionately, the rain beat down on them harshly, when they broke Reed wrapped an arm around her. They turned and walked into a small café and ordered coffee, waiting for the rain to stop.


At Storm Mansion Johnny idly snapped his fingers, laying on his back in bed, staring out the window. He was bored, he definitely needed to find someone to hang out with, he knew just the person. Johnny flipped open his cell phone and dialed a number quickly. On the other end was a young girl.

"Hello?" The girl questioned as she picked up.

"Hey babe, it's Johnny, Johnny Storm. I was wondering if you wanted to come over." Johnny smiled on the other end.

"Johnny, I've missed you!" The girl shrieked.

"I know, I've missed you too, I've been really busy lately. Wanna catch up today at my house?" Johnny asked in his "cool" tone.

"I'd love to!" The girl on the other end responded.

"You know where…" Johnny was cut off.

"Yes, I've seen your house before. I'll be there soon!" She sped through and hung up quickly.


Sue and Reed sat in the small café, sitting in a corner, sipping lazily at their Frappucinos. Sue kept apologizing repetitively as she snuggled close to Reed.

"I truly am sorry. I'm just so confused and dazed right now. We have these powers that we have to keep at bay, we have to fight crime while trying to maintain normal lives. On top of it we have school. I've been under so much stress and I've been bottling up everything. It feels good to just let it all out. I'm so sorry I hit you with a force field. I just don't see myself like a damsel in distress and I thought that you being my boyfriend wouldn't see me like that either."

"Sue, everything is okay. Trust me, I'm not mad or anything, we're all in this together. I understand how you feel. I'm here for you and always will be. I'm the one who needs to apologize. You're not a damsel in distress, you are strong enough, you can take care of yourself. I'm really sorry. I love you Sue." Reed reminded her as he wrapped a comforting arm around her.

"I know you do and that's why I love you." Sue smiled and grabbed her Frappucino and took a small sip. There was a long silence throughout the café.

"This is some crazy weather." Reed said casually.

"I know." Sue replied, staring out into the sheets of pouring liquid outside, hammering the window panes with fury, "The rain makes me happy you know. Just something about it."

"Hmm…" Reed mumbled in understanding.

"I wonder what Johnny's doing right now, I'm sure he's found something to do at home." Sue piped up after a while.

"I can only imagine." Reed murmured.


In Johnny's room, Johnny was preoccupied. On Johnny's bed was Johnny, in a heated lip lock with Sarah, the blonde from Sabrina's Halloween party. They had been for the past five minutes, Johnny had never felt so good in his life. This was exceptionally fun. Why hadn't he started earlier? He paused, thinking about how Sue would react.

Sarah pulled away, gasping for the breath she so eagerly required.

"Johnny, I can't do this. I'm too young. I have to go. Bye." Sarah ran out of the room and down the stairs to the front door. Minutes later a car came and she was driven home.

"Damn that felt good." Johnny noted, licking his lips and then laying back down on his bed.


"It looks like the sky is clearing up." Sue announced, Reed looked outside, the cloud was parting allowing the sun to spread its warmth upon the city that desperately needed it.

"You're right. Ready to go home?" Reed said before downing the last of his iced coffee.

"Yes I am." Sue agreed, they stood up and walked out of the café.

Please review! NO FLAMES! Nice things only.

Poll: Favorite chapter?

One review said you're only sticking around for sex. If you're only sticking around for that then you're reading for the wrong reason. There will be no sex in this story! They're freshman! Maybe in the sequel…a little lemon because the sequel skips to Junior year. Otherwise there's no sex! Okay?
