Chapter 59

Mr. Fantastic, the Invisible Woman, and the Thing arrive at the Coruscant apartment of Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker an hour after sunset. The Skywalkers and Lando Calrissian have just finished eating dinner. Mara has went into the bedroom to lie down. Luke and Lando are talking in the living area. Luke answers the door and invites Reed, Sue, and Ben in. Artoo makes a welcoming chirping sound. Sue reaches down and pats the droid's dome.

Sue: "Hello."

Then Lando approaches Sue. He takes her hand in his. He kisses her hand and says "I'm Lando Calrissian, at your service. Tell me Sue, is there anything in your universe as beautiful as you?"

Ben laughs.

Lando(to Ben): "Excuse me. Did I say something funny?"

Ben Grimm: "Yeah. Ya said your name was Lando Calrissian."

Lando(muttering under his breath): "I'm being mocked by a talking rock."

Mara, who has now entered the room, laughs. She looks at Luke and they share a grin.

Mara(to Luke silently through their force connection): "I wonder how long he's been waiting to use that line."

Luke(responding to Mara in the same fashion): "I've heard him use that one before. He just substituted universe for planet."


Green Lantern, Spider-Man, and Tahiri Veila arrive in orbit around Coruscant. Hal teleports Spider-Man onto the Fantasticship. Johnny Storm is there. He's watching the ship while Reed, Sue, and Ben are at the Skywalker apartment.

Johnny turns around and sees Spidey.

Johnny: "Where'd you come from?"

Spidey: "Me? I've been here the whole time."

Johnny: "You have not."

Spidey: "Have too."

Johnny: "Have not!"

Spidey: "Have too."

Johnny: "Have not!"

Spidey: "Have not!"

Johnny: "Have too!"

Spidey: "Okay. If you say so."

Johnny: "..."

"Are you Spider-Man or Bugs Bunny?"

Spidey: "I guess that would make you Hoppy, the Marvel Bunny."

Johnny: "Hoppy the what?"

Johnny: "..."

Johnny: "You've been reading your Aunt May's old Captain Marvel comics again, haven't you?"
