Chapter Two
* * *
Location: The Baxter Building, Conference Room

Franklin hopped excitedly on Freddy's oversized knee, "You'll really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really like it here Slim!".

Wanda rubbed her temple sorely, "-wouldn't this technically be being super hero's?".

"Yes-Would that be a problem?" asked Reed, raising an eyebrow.

"Yo, listen here We, the Brotherhood of Neutral Mutants believe it or not we use to be the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.going from Evil-" Todd waved his hands one side "-to Good-" Todd waved his hands to the other side "Is like a huge change".

Sue looked emotional (like with watery eyes and a watery frown), Todd looked at her nervously.

"I really-" Sue sniffled "-wanted you to join-us!" Sue sobbed this wiping the tears from her eyes.

"It's such an honor" said Wanda quickly "To be asked.but you see we really aren't cut out for this whole super hero biz".

"I-I-I-" Sue brought her hands to her face moaning in pain.

"Wait a moment why don't we make an agreement?" Reed asked with a kind smile, patting Sue on the back.

Todd stroked his chin, "Do tell".

"You can crash with us for awhile, if you want to go on missions phewf! go right ahead, you can be a branch of the Fantastic Four" Reed said lacing his fingers on the table "Free room and board of course".

"DEAL!"

Wanda let out a low growl, glaring at Todd "Excuse me Mr. Fan-tas-tic but that holds no appeal to us what do you get out of this?".

Reed looked at Wanda with sparkling eyes, "We are not your average superhero's. we have all time low levels of angst, we pay our taxes, everyone loves us. And Wolverine has never, ever, had a guest appearance with our group. We do what we do because we're suckers, and we want to make the world a better place. We want to train you so one day when I am too old, Sue is too old, you, Superfly, Slim, and Franklin will carry on the tradition of truth, justice, and freedom for all".

Wanda's blinked, "But what if we go evil?" she asked blankly.

"Then that's your path and we will support you until you try to kill hundreds of people" beamed Reed.

Sue sniffled, "Do I look old?".

Reed backed down in his chair, "No Honey!" he said quickly looking nervous "You look as beautiful-and young as the day I met you".

"I was thirteen-do I look immature?" cried Sue.

"No! Honey! I was just saying-oh I see honey you must be going through your- "

"Don't you say it" warned Sue in a cold voice.

"your-"

"Try it mister"

"it's nothing to be ashamed-"

"Just say it lets see who disappears?".

Just at the moment, Ben entered the room in his trenchcoat and fedora he had a suitcase in one hand "Hi Everyone I'm back from-" Ben looked at Todd, Wanda, and Freddy "-oh hey I brought you all back souvenirs!" Ben laughed nervously.

"Your not being replaced Ben" Reed said quietly as Sue glared down at him.

A look of relief crossed Ben's face, "Oh good-who are you guys anyway?".

"We're the Fantastic Brotherhood of Neutral Mutants" Todd said proudly, pouting out his chest.

Wanda rolled her eyes, "My name is Wanda-this dope here is Todd, and over there is Freddy".

Ben looked to Reed's now empty chair, "Where'd he go?".

"Sue?"

"What? I didn't do it" Sue replied innocently twirling her hair.

"Less any of these er' youngsters can shoot invisible beams from their foreheads it musta been you" Ben said glaring.

"Oh fine but he is so on the couch tonight" Sue looked to Reed's seat, a baby blue beam shot out of her forehead and he reappeared.

Valeria cooed happily, "Shit".

Reed looked over to Valeria, "Where did he learn that word?"

Sue glared at Johnny's empty seat, "Don't look at me" came his voice.

Ben looked at Sue, "I think that's the best thing you've used that invisible beam for since you got it" he smirked.

Valeria waved her arms frantically for Ben, "Shit! Shit!".

"Oh Val.y'r turning the air blue"

Reed looked at Ben, "Ben would you mind taking Freddy out with you for your morning jog?" .

"Uh sure Stretchy what're you want I'll whip em' into shape" Ben replied.

Freddy scoffed, "This is my natural shape thank you very much".

Kitty picked up a copy of the Daily Bugle, it being one of her newspaper subscription she yawned tiredly as she unfolded it and read the front page headline.

"WHAT THE HELL!"

Logan walked over behind her and peered over her shoulder, "What's the matter half pint-what the-holy crap".

"-The Fantastic Brotherhood of Neutral Fighters: America's new superhero team as a branch of the original Fantastic Four" Kitty read faintly.

A picture of Wanda, Todd, and Freddy wearing suspiciously familiar blue and white uniforms graced the front page. Todd was in the middle holding an American flag, his eyes full of tears and a saintly smile on his face. Wanda was on his left doing a folding her arms, she too was smiling but it oddly looked airbrushed. Freddy was on his right wearing glasses and reading Goethe's Faust.

Kitty tore at the paper angrily, "THIS IS MAD! MAD I TELL YOU! MAD!"

Logan's claws extended as he too tore at the paper madly.

The phone rang in the late hours of the night, in the private quarters of FBoNM member Wanda Maximoff.

Groggily she climbed from her bed, holding her comforter to her body she stumbled across the room and snatched the phone off the hook.

"What?"

"Wanda it's me Pietro" came the hush, but distinctive voice of her twin- brother.

"Why the hell are you calling me this late-and how did you get this number?" demanded Wanda looking furious.

"Remy has contacts-Why in the hell did you join the Fantastic Four?"

"We didn't" Wanda defended in embarrassment "We needed funding-but tell me how this is any business of yours you traitor?".

"You're my sister that's how!" (A/N: Aww)

"We're hardly family-I'm hanging up" scowled Wanda.

"No Don't! I want to know how the others are" he whispered.

Wanda snorted "Why do you care?"

"Just tell me Wanda"

"They're fine, now GOOD-BYE!"

"I l-l---l-lov-loovve you Wanda"

Wanda blinked, "What-Pietro did you take dad's estrogen again?".

"Wanda you're my sister"

"Then how is it that your so sparkly-eyed and so in aew of the man who killed our mother and ruined out family" snarled Wanda.

"HE didn't kill Mommy that was an accident!"

"Oh grow up"

And with that she hung up the phone.

Feeling a single tear slide down her cheek, "Damn him"

* * *

Freddy awoke in the early mornings, by a hearty mans voice "Get up, yeh lazy slab of lard y' n' me are going for a little jog around Empire State. If yeh catch my drift".

"Actually" mumbled Freddy "I don't catch your drift but I'll get dressed anyway".

"Y're official FF training uniform is in the closet be down in 3 minuets or I'll come up er' and get your flabby ass" came his grumpy voice.

"I hate you"

"No yeh don't but yeh will"

* * *

"You're a god, with children Todd" Sue said fondly as she fried Franklins eggs.

Todd glanced from Valeria, who was waiting Impatiently for the next spoonful of cream corn "Yea, I like kids".

"Hon, I'd love if you come with me and Franklin shopping this after noon. Umm.but if you wouldn't mind could you take a shower first? It's a FF rule" Sue smiled nervously, as she normally wasn't one to comment on other's hygiene.

Todd looked down at Valeria who was cooing happily at him with sparkling eyes, "Yeah. yo. I can do that".

Sue let out a sigh, "That's lovely dear. Why don't you go dress in your civvies? Hmm?".

"Oh Cool, yo." Todd replied, as he moved another spoonful into Valeria's wide mouth "Jeez your kid can eat".

"She takes after her father" Sue replied stiffly.

"Of course"

Sue smiled.

* * *

Wanda wandered the endless hallways of the Baxter Building looking rest less "You'd think the kitchen would be within walking distance" she grunted, crossing her arm on her chest as she always did when frustrated or confused.

"Good morning Wanda, lost?"

Wanda spun around in immediate defense, but relaxed in seeing it was only Reed.

"Uh-Hi Mister Richards. Yeah, I don't know where the kitchen is" Wanda replied, blushing slightly in embarrassment.

"Well you won't be getting food from the kitchen this early. Franklin and Valeria haven't left yet and Sue will be devoted to only them. I was going to head across the street to the diner, would you like to join me?" asked Reed warmly.

"O-okay sure" Wanda replied shyly, as she had never been asked to breakfast before.

Reed smiled, "Good, follow me then".

Wanda replied with a nod and hurried up next to him as the two made their way off down the hall.

* * *

"You're a total slave driver" cried Freddy as Ben dragged him through the park.

Ben smirked at this, "Thanks kid".

"Hey you want icecream?" asked Ben eagerly as the ice cream man approached pushing his colorful cart.

"Oh yea."

"Well then you can have it, once you run around the park that is" Ben said with a sly grin.

"Finally a goal" Freddy said before darting off.

* * *

"I did some research on your group last night." mentioned Reed casually. Wanda sighed. A pain tugged at her chest.

"Yea?

"Well, I must say-I was quite surprised when I saw the articles. You were a surprisingly talented group, even without access to the high-tech training equipment your often time rivals were."

Wanda blinked. Wasn't this the part were he told her she was a bad person who need help, and rubbed her nose in the past?

"I assume that the other two members are still with Magneto." Said Reed, sipping his coffee.

Wanda nodded. She didn't look down from his steady gaze.

Wanda Maximoff didn't cast her eyes down from anyone.

"Lance Alvers and Pietro Maximoff." She stated plainly, blandly. She sipped her coffee.

"Your Brother." stated Reed. Wanda nodded numbly.

"So.Tell me, why did your friends and you decide to join the brotherhood?"

Wanda sighed.

"No one gets it, do they? The Brotherhood didn't care about politics. Neither did the mass majority of the X-geeks. We just did what we were told. It's a matter of who got to who first."

Red thought on this, but only sipped his coffee. He looked at his watch.

"Oh, Its seems that I have an engagement very, very soon. "

"What type?" asked Wanda.

"Err.well, I have to give a lecture on physics at a local community college. Your welcome to tag along, but I doubt that you would be very interested."

"I want to go. I'll be fine."

Reed blinked, and smiled politely. " You wont have any time to get dressed."

Wanda looked at him, puzzled. "I am dressed." She said, as she got up from her seat and took her coat. Reed blinked. Didn't women usually need time to get ready? It always took Sue the better part of an hour. Reed put a five on the table and followed Wanda outside.

Maybe it was a teenage thing.

"oooo.Wow! These khaki's are so cute!" cooed Sue, as she Franklin exited the fitting room. Todd held onto Valeria, who was gumming a cracker. Franklin walked In front of the mirror.

"Awww.Ma, cant we just get these?"

"Well..But, Franklin, there too big! Todd, could you go get a size smaller? And see if they have any other colors?" asked Sue.

"Sure thing, Mrs. R." said Todd before he walked off.

He made his way over to the display, and started to pick out the Khakis.

He took a quick glance at the price tag. 45.00$..for pants? Todd gapped. He didn't think his whole wardrobe could be sold for 45.00$. He grabbed a couple of pairs and turned around, only to come face to face with A couple of boys around his age.

pretty boys, wearing fine sweaters and perfectly pressed chinos.

"Get outta my way yo." said Todd, as he made an attempt to push past them. The boys shoved him back. What did they want?

"We don't like shop lifters, punk. " said one of the boys. the others snickered.

"Leave me alone." said Todd, as he tried to push past them.

" 'YO' where are you going?" laughed the leader boy roughly pushing Todd back and into a display.

The group of boys began to laugh as Todd stumbled back to his feet.

. . .

"Mommy-is Toddy alright?" asked Franklin looking over to Todd and the boys, he tugged roughly on his mothers jacket sleeve.

"Huh-" Sue turned and looked to Todd, "Oh" she gasped "Watch Valeria Franklin-I'll be right back".

Franklin nodded. He peered into Valeria's stroller and smirked at her, "Mommies gonna kick ass wanna watch?".

. . .

"Is there a problem here boys?" asked Sue as she met the group.

Todd looked at Sue, to see she had un buttoned the first 4 buttons on her jacket revealing the '4' logo "yo Mrs. R, I can handle it" he said nervously.

"It's alright Todd" Sue said fondly, she squinted at the boys "Now, you wouldn't be bothering my friend here would you? Cause that would make me really mad and you won't like me when I'm mad" (Stevie: Hey! That's the Hulks line!).

"-that's Sue Richards Invisible Girl-" mumbled one of the boys to the others.

Sue twitched, "Invisible WOMAN".

A crystal blue beam shot from her fore head at one of the khaki pants Todd had dropped it disappeared on contact.

The boys looked scared.

"Now you know what would happen if I shot one of my beams at one of you three? The same thing that happened to those pants and I may just let you stay that way. You'll be on your way now, I suppose?" Sue smirked.

The boys took off, in a flash.

Sue laughed, "That was fun".

"Mrs. R, you ROCKED yo!" Todd exclaimed, bending down and collecting the pants.

Sue set a hand on Todd's head, "They were creeps" she said soothingly "Don't let them bother you-".

"But I do kinda look like a shoplifter" Todd laughed dryly, looking off to the side to avoid her eyes.

"Well we'll have to change that" smiled Sue, giving him a nice hug.

Releasing him, Sue set a hand under her chin and grinned at Todd "A good haircut, some new clothes, a few other touch ups-yeah I can definitely work with you".

Todd and Sue laughed.
