Geez, just to think two days ago we had the fight all of Batman's rogue gallery Sayori is in a coma back at Gotham. We had to leave her mc didn't wanna leave her side so he stayed there too. Yuri escaped.
along with a bunch of other villains, something tells me will be going back to Gotham soon.
Hey Natsuki where are you? I ask.
oh, just putting in my contacts Natsuki replies.
I didn't know she had bad vision I think to myself.
I can read your mind and no I don't have bad vision. I just feel uncomfortable about my eye color Natsuki says.
Honey you don't have to hide anything from me I answer.
Are you sure Natsuki questions?
Yeah, I respond.
OK come in natsuki says.
OK, I say.
She turns around oh, my god you look.
terrible I know natsuki interrupts.
what? no, you're beautiful I say.
dark ocean blue is so attractive I say.
really Natsuki says blushing.
Really I say. And I understand if you don't feel comfortable, revealing this to the rest of the X-Men or anyone else but if you do need to put your pink eye contacts in I'd hurry don't you remember we have to meet the fantastic four today see if they remember the incursions I remind.
natsuki hugged me, and I realized she was crying.
Nat you ok I question concerned.
it's just I heard what yuri said about me natsuki says.
about me being flat ugly and childish natsuki says.
don't believe her you're beautiful the way you are. I love you I wouldn't change a thing listen I know sure you're not that matured physically but I don't care it was only because of what your dad did the malnourishment it was something out of your control believe me you'll mature in due time, but even if you didn't, you're still the girl I love the girl I want to spend my life with and I wouldn't change a thing I'm happy right here right now with you.
oh, thanks sweetheart Natsuki whispers thinking I wouldn't hear her.
What was that I question? Jokingly.
Oh, nothing let's just get to the Baxter building natsuki says.
hang on you gotta let me get ready I say laughing stepping into the bathroom.
All right, all right sorry Natsuki says.
Yeah, there's something I have to tell you to say.
What is it Natsuki says.
Just stay in here with me and you'll find out I say.
After about 20 minutes, I get done washing my hair after I did everything else.
Haven't done this in years I say.
Oh, you're hair is naturally blonde Natsuki says.
Yeah, I died my hair so people wouldn't confuse me with Johnny anymore it's always so annoying. Always been confused with your older sibling.
Believe me, you don't wanna know how many times I've been called Jean this past week Natsuki says.
Believe me, I know how it is she continues.
You look good though Natsuki finishes.
Thanks, I say.
I don't have time to put the dyi back and we gotta go I say fully ready.
let me text Sue that we're on our way. I say grabbing my phone.
Hey sis, be there in about 20 minutes I know we were supposed to be there but something came up. We're on our way. Love you.
She responded within a matter of minutes OK get here safe. Love you too. How's my sister-in-law doing?
Good but I haven't asked her yet. That's the whole reason we're actually coming down there. I want my whole family to be there when I ask I reply.
Well OK will all be ready sue replies.
Yeah, OK be there. Soon Everything set up I reply.

Oh, believe me, I can imagine I reply.
I send one more text I wouldn't miss Franklin's birthday for the world :-) anyway, be there in 10.
10 minutes later we were at the Baxter building
I put in the code 254873
Access. Granted, welcome home Jonathan storm.
That's new, I think.
Hey Sue, we're here I say.
I feel an invisible force, pulled me in.
OK sue, I get it you missed me I say jokingly.
Please light now you're squeezing too tight I plead.
All right, all right I'll let go sue says.
Wait, you went back to your natural hair color I thought you hated it Sue says in surprise.
Yeah, I just um I say, struggling to find an excuse.
he did it for me I showed my natural eye color and I was a little bit embarrassed, so he went back to his natural hair color to make me feel comfortable Natsuki says.
yeah, she's right I say.
That's cute. Sue says.
yeah, I say a little bit embarrassed.
Come with me Sue says.
The plans working it's going great. She doesn't know man she'll be surprised. I think to myself.
I grab natsuki's hand as we walked down the hallway.
what's with you Romeo? Natsuki questions.
I just whistle, pretending not to hear her.
We step into a room Were Johnny Reid, and then we're waiting.
Natsuki noticed my other hand being in my pocket.
OK, now that we're here I wanted to do this for the last few weeks. I was going to do it when we got back from Gotham but tomorrow things got in the way.
So why not now I get down on one knee Natsuki gray will you marry me I say tears in my eyes.
tears escape Natsuki's eyes yes do you know how long I've been waiting for you to ask Natsuki says kissing me.
I slide the ring on her finger.
It's beautiful Natsuki says.
Not as beautiful as you I say.
aw, sue says.
me and natsuki talked it over on the way over here. The Xavier institutes becoming too crowded. Could we move into the Baxter building for a while till we find a place to stay.
yeah, sure your family both of you. Sue says happy that she's gonna get to spend time with me.
Johnny wasn't as excited about it but he was happy and he wasn't gonna rain on my Parade.
I hear someone shout my name.
uncle Jonathan, I hear over and over again.
hi Franklin I missed you so much I say.
where is Valeria I question.
She's staying with doom Read says.
Excuse me, she's doing what now I question.
you know what Victor is her godfather I say, remembering without Victor Valaria wouldn't have survived birth.
Franklin meet my fiancé natsuki I say introducing Franklin to Natsuki.
He's so cute natsuki says,
Franklin hugs her and says welcome to the family.
Oh my god, that's adorable. Sue says wiping it hear from her eye.
he really likes you nat I say.
he Doesn't normally open up to people that easily I say.
we then hear an alarm.
Read what did you do this time thing questions.
I didn't do anything, Ben read, says somewhat angry.
I guess the fantastic four just became the super six I say.
yes, sue says, having a smile on her face.
something felt off. We all knew it we just did not know what.
sue then sees mine, and natsuki's superhero costumes with the matching color scheme
she says nothing about it since she knew about them already.
So how did the mission to Gotham go?
Johnny ask curiously.
Mine and Natsuki's expressions changed.
Most of the villains ended up escaping after Arkham asylum was burnt down. I answer.
And now, my childhood friend is in a coma because of Yuri that psychopath I answer partly sad partly upset.
Oh, I'm sorry I shouldn't have asked Johnny says.
oh, it's fine I say.
We then heard a crash.
What the hell me and Natsuki say in unison.
cute Johnny teasers.
We both get flustered and say that we need to focus on the problem.
You Two are already thinking the same exact thing Johnny says.
Shut it, we both say.
OK OK sorry Johnny says.
johnnie Sue read are you home? The voice questions.
johnnie immediately recognizes the voice.
Crystal he shouts.
Me and Natsuki follow behind him.
I see a girl laying next to a broken window. She had strawberry-blonde, hair, and blue eyes. She was wearing a yellow jumpsuit. With black sleeves. a black belt and black boots.
oh, Crystal meet my younger brother Jonathan storm, the human torch of the X-Men Johnnie introduces.
johnnie then helps the girl up to her feet and kisses her.
after they were done, I walk over and slap Johnnie in the face.
what the hell was that for Johnny ask.
I don't know maybe because you're cheating on your current girlfriend I say my tone, cold and distant.
remember Monica, she loves and cares about you, but what are you doing? Oh wait, you're dating another woman what the hell is wrong with you you monster I say.
Johnny opens his mouth to reply but does not have a response.
what does the hot head not have a response I ask.
I can't believe you I wanted to be like you you are my idol before I get my powers but this shit like this is the reason I left because you're an untrustworthy hotheaded impulsive bruiser you always fight before you think when it's convenient you will do whatever you can to get with another woman. Clearly, I'm more responsible and I'm younger.
says a lot about you.
listen, I broke up with Monica Johnny starts to say.
Oh yeah, that's why she said you and her were going on a date next week because you broke up with her makes a whole lot of sense I say starting to lose my temper.
I swear, I thought I sent her that message Johnny says.
How dumb do you think we are do you really think we're gonna fall for that I say.
I honestly stop lying I interrupt.
look, here's the proof Johnny screams, punching me in the face.
oh, now you've done it flame on I say launching forward.
but a giant ice wall separates us.
Listen, I saw him send that message Crystal says releasing the ice wall.
put your sibling rivalry aside for 10 damn minutes and listen to what Christa has to say Sue says entering the room.
just let me pull out my phone real quick, I say.
Damn, Johnnie was telling the truth. I just had several MESSAGES from Monica saying that the timeline was setting, itself, right that the polygamous relationship was going to happen. That's the only reason she can think of that Johnny broke up with her.
I text back well OK I mean it's going to happen, i'm fine with that. We have more in common than I thought. We did anyway, call you when I can.
all right see you soon. love, Monica.
I turned a little bit red reading that message.
luckily, no one noticed.
OK, we'll put our sibling rivalry aside I say.
I just was trying to defend one of my friends I didn't think she deserved to find out that way. Turns out she already knew.
Crystal I'm sorry for the bad first impression let's restart I say.
I am Jonathan storm I'm Johnny and Susan's younger brother i'm the human torch of the X-Men I say.
natsuki quickly reduces herself saying that she is the younger sister of Jean Gray. She's the current marvel girl. while Jean Grey currently taking on a different superhero persona.
well, it's a pleasure to meet both of you Crystal says.
What are your powers I ask curiously?
I controlled elements Crystal says.
That's cool, I say.
Me and Natsuki both have fire powers I say.
I also have super speed and telepathy Natsuki says.
Crystal then notices the ring on natsuki's finger.
Oh, you recently got engaged. Congrats.
Thanks, Natsuki says.
Yeah, my little brother propose to her right before you showed up Johnny says.
yeah, I did. I say a little bit flustered by the sudden spotlight put on me.
Oh, how long have you two been together? Crystal asks.
few months we both say.
We met at the literature club at the Xavier Institute.
Hey, we both bonded over a love of manga comics, video games, and cartoons.
I look at that Suki for clearance to tell what happens next. She nods.
And then Natsuki revealed that her father didn't treat her that well you know it's physically and mentally abused her.
So, after he found out, we were dating things didn't go well he attacked all four of us at the light at your club.
The club consisted of me, Natsuki, my childhood friend sayori And our club, president, Monica.
in my powers reemerged for the first time, I haven't used them since my first girlfriend died, and I felt like it was my fault.
But seeing natsuki, in danger because of her father made something snap and made my powers re-merge me, and that Suki took turns beating up her father and I accidentally killed him because of several severe third-degree burns caused on his body, and I felt bad about killing him ever since I say.
I am a hero because I wanna make up for my past mistakes and save people from whatever I don't want people to be honest civilian casualties list that I could've prevented because I could've absorbed the fire that caused the deaths in the first place I say.
That's really admirable Crystal says.
Thanks that means a lot.
I also related to Natsuki because our father didn't treat us much better either.
Johnnie and Sue shared looks of agreement.
We never got to know our mother, because of our father, who drove her into a deep depression that led to a very sad ending I say.
Sue basically played the mother role in both mine and Johnnie's lives.
Sue was always there when no one else was in for that. I will always be grateful. I love you sis I say.
Love you too Sue says.
Wait a minute Christa why are you here? Johnny asked.
Crystal's face then grew worried as she remembered.
A rogue faction of Inhumans crystal says.
OK someone catch me up here. What are the inhumans? I question.
we're an offshoot of mutants.
We get our powers from a thing called the Terjen mist we've been around for hundreds of years but there's only a small fraction of us left or that's what we thought turns out there is a rogue faction focused on being the only inhumans left alive crystal says.
sure, will help you i'm always willing to help people I say.
I don't agree with you a lot, but I'm with you on this Johnny says.
Count me in natsuki says.
if my little brother's going I'm going Sue says. Teasingly.
come on I'm not defenseless anymore. I lead a superhero team I say.
I know I just it's OK sue I interrupt.
Hang on, let me text Monica, see if oh
okay well, if you need any help, let me know. I will try and help you over the phone if you need it all right OK yeah all right by Monica.
OK, so she's gonna stay here and hold down the X-Men field team for me and Natsuki.
So I guess it's just us who is accompanying you I say.
Hang on, let me go get Reid Sue says.
I'll go get ben Johnny says.
we might wanna bring our Green Lantern rings for this, I say. Natsuki nods calling out to the rings psychically.
Two green Rings, circle me, and not Suki and then we put them on our fingers.
we both change into our Green Lantern outfits instantly.
That's cool what are you doing to do Johnny ask.
I think I have a shield, and it appears as a green light construct instantly.
The things just made of light I won't protect you Johnny says.
OK, then hit the shield I say smirking.
Johnny . hits the shield and feels a crack ow ow ow ow Johnny says in pain.
what was that now? I say smirking.
Ben and read, say that they're ready to go.
Where do the Inhumans live I ask.
The moon crystal answers there's a Blue area that is oxygen Rich on the moon crystal says .
let's go, I say.
10 minutes later we were there.
This place looks like a war zone what the hell happened I ask a little bit nervous about what I was walking into.
Oh my God the doors have been blown off the royal palace Crystal sizing complete shock running into the palace.
Crystal weight Johnny says running forward.
Watch it hothead you don't wanna run in there and get Hurt to I say.
Watch it matchstick Johnny says.
Fine I say moving aside.
Following him.
What up Natsuki says flying behind me.
Read sue and Ben followed behind us as quick as possible.
Oh dear God I say being the first in to the palace.
This is bad this is really bad Natsuki comments.
Johnny was comforting Crystal.
Karnak she whispers.
My eyes wander to them she was looking at a guy with markings on his head he was pinned to a wall.
Crystal then started calling out for her sister medusa.
Wait a minute medusa like the turn people to stone Medusa I question.
What no no no Crystal says calming my nerves.
That's a relief I say a little less tense to the situation around us.
What was Karnaks power I ask.
He could see the weakness of anyone Crystal answers.
She hugs me .
Uh where is Johnny he came in here before me.
I thought I saw him but you did he's looking for the rest of the royal family Crystal says stepping back.
Royal family I say confused.
Never thought Johnny would date a queen I say sarcastically.
Queen I wish that's my sister Crystal says.
I well still I mean I struggle to come up with something to say.
Don't say something like it's an honor to be in your palace I hate being treated like royalty I like the introduction you gave me back at the Baxter building I like the way we had it there Crystal says.
I understand that in a different way you don't like being treated that way because you feel like you have to live up to something you can't I was felt like I had to live up to the legacy of the human torch I could never burn bright enough I say.
You just feel like you would have to live up to what medusa is living like now having to live up to that those expectations are extraordinarily high sure you could do it but it puts more mental strain on you than it would actually helping living up to those expectations I say.
Yeah Crystal says.
anyway let's find Johnny before he I begin.
rushes into things like a hothead Crystal finishes.
yeah I mean I'm a hothead but I at least think before I act I say.
Sometimes you think before you act Natsuki teases.
I um well I mutter.
I'm just teasing you angle Natsuki says.
I know baby I say.
Don't call me that in public Natsuki says embarrassed.
It's fine you're with family Sue says cooling Natsuki's temper.
Oh well OK just not in front of the other inhumans Natsuki says.
OK sure I say.
But you can't flirt with me either I say.
Fair Natsuki says.
Flame on we hear in the distance.
Dammit sue says Rushing forward.
Wait up I say rushing after her.
What the hell I say the minute I find where they are.
There was this tendril wrapped around Johnny's throat.
It was controlled by a guy with black hair and he was in a white lab coat he glared at me with a deranged look .
Hey get away from my brother you I am immediately knocked away By what I assumed to be another inhuman.
He had what looked like scales of a fish but it felt like you had the strength of a rhino.
He was on top of me and had his hand around my throat each nail Duggan to my skin like a sharp talon of a bird .
Hey iguana boy get away from my husband Natsuki says firing a shot with her green lantern ring that made the iguana fish person staggered backwards.
I began to cough after getting a fresh breath of air.
Thanks Natsuki I say.
No problem love Natsuki says.
I didn't know you were half British and say laughing.
I know you like girls with British accents Natsuki says getting a little bit embarrassed.
Well I OK yeah you got me I say giving up the search for an excuse.
Crystal and Sue were whispering about how cute mine and Natsuki's relationship was.
Sue whispers to Crystal he proposed to her right before you showed up.
Oh I wish I could've seen it Crystal whispers back.
You to we kinda need some help I say.
Who is this guy in the lab coat I asked Crystal raising my voice to gain her attention.
Oh sorry that's my uncle Maximus the mad he's super smart but crazy Crystal replies shooting an ice beam at maximums.
Excuse me he's related to you I say in shock.
I hope the rest of your family isn't this crazy I say.
No offense I add.
None taken crystal answers.
Let's just find the rest of your Pham I say.
We've got to take down Maximus first Johnny says punching Maximus in the face.
I got it I say throwing my sword into the machine on his back.
Cute kid cute Maximus says.
Medusa please deal with our intruders Maximus says.
Uh What Crystal says confused.
I am then hit in the face with a red whip.
Ow What the that stings I say.
Medusa what are you doing Johnny ask.
Oh I'm dealing with the intruders you took my precious black bolt medusa answers.
What are you talking about we did no such thing we got here because of Crystal she brought us here to try and help you guys I don't understand.
shut it kid I am the inhuman queen and no one speaks to me in that tone Medusa says.
Tone what are you talking about I was literally just talking I say confused.
Look at their eyes they're white pure white that's a clear sign of mind control read points out entering the room hearing the conversation.
Wait a minute there Who else are you I'm punched away by a giant fist hitting a wall.
Wait a minute Miss Marvel I thought you were one of the avengers why are you with the rest of the Inhumans I thought you had a duty to earth I say struggling to stand.
I've got you Natsuki says helping me balance.
Thanks Natsuki I say.
Crystal find black Bolt.
Johnny yells trying to overheat maximus machine.
Maximus grabs my sword slashing Johnny in the face with it.
He went flying backwards covering his face.
At this point Sue was angry enough to put a force field in maximus throat .
Sue we don't take lives I say elbowing her to make her lose her concentration.
I got this I say.
I ran forward with the sword I had in my hand cutting at the cords of the machine it didn't work but Maximus was knocked out enough to where we could take him to the wall.
Medusa's eyes slowly turned back to being green they used to be .
And Ms. marvels return to the Hazel Brown that used to be.
But we had one question where was black bolt.
And was he under mind control.
We then immediately ran to Johnny side.
He was bleeding down the left side of his face but other than that he was fine.
To be honest we've all took and were speeding's than that plus his healing factor should counteract it within a few hours .
We spread out looking through the palace while read disabled Maximus's machine.
Black bolt we could find was his tuning fork.
To say Medusa was heartbroken is a giant understatement but I knew he wasn't dead there was no blood on the tuning fork or any of the walls that we could find.
I eventually ask my lantern ring how many people were in the palace it was just us and one other person which we assumed was a black Bolt.
Which we were right but his eyes were pure white but Maximus his machine was destroyed so it isn't him controlling them who is.
Turns out no one was controlling him he was just blinded by Maximus and locked in One of the many rooms of the palace.
I'm glad everyone is OK other than black bolt being blinded.
Three weeks later.
I can't believe the day has finally come Natsuki says.
I know I say.
You look like a goddess I say.
Thanks Natsuki says blushing.
We're finally doing it finally I think.
Kind of surprised that everyone was able to make it but I think the biggest surprise all of them was our childhood Idol captain America being here on this special day.
He's the one actually leading the ceremony in the first place I didn't even ask him Logan just surprised us both.
Will you Jonathan storm do you take Natsuki gray to be Your lawfully wedded wife Captain America ask.
I do I say.
Natsuki gray will you take Jonathan storm to be your lawfully wedded Husband Captain America ask. I do Natsuki says.
You may Kiss the bride Captain America says.
Me and Natsuki Kiss The hours later everything ended.
Natsuki through the Bouquet and Sayori caught it Can't say we were surprised she's the only other club member who had a boyfriend but it was a little bit surprising considering Scott and Emma were there Jean and wolverine kitty Pryde and colossus.
Right before everyone left there was an explosion.
You've got to be kidding me we can have one day one day that Suki says clearly annoyed.
Oh believe me we'll have one day trust me I say giving a smile.
We all ran towards the explosion and it was someone I didn't recognize the first thing I did notice is he had a green ring just like my and Natsuki's .
I equip the lantern ring On to my other finger as Natsuki does the same.
Who are you I can see you're part of the green lantern corps i'm cut off by my name is halJordan and I need your and your wife's help the man says.
My name is halJordan and I don't usually ask for help so please would you and your wife help me the man ask.
Sure it's what we do we're heroes I say trying to hide my Angered tone.
All right Jordan lead the way I say.
We followed him to a fire planet me a Natsuki had never seen this part of our sector before I'll admit we explored a little bit but we've never been this far out.
What is this place I ask.it's Ola Home of the green lantern corps and the central power battery we get our power from the explosion was a diversion to get your attention so we could bring you here show you around you should be home in a matter of hours and you too can enjoy your honeymoon Hal says.
All right well I mean we can stay for a little bit Natsuki says.
Two hours later we got .
home well he wasn't wrong about the how long would be there I say.
What do you want to do I ask Natsuki.
I don't know maybe watch some anime with some manga and let the night take it from there Natsuki replies.
OK I say.
To hours later.
Oh that was great Natsuki says.
Believe me I know I say.
Let's cuddle Natsuki says.
I love that idea I say lying down.
Me to Natsuki says wrapping her arms around me.
Can life get any better I ask myself.
As a dumb question it's perfect right now my inner voice responds.
You're right.
