Chapter 4- Fears of two friends
"Sue, put it on the table." Reed said and Sue put it on the wooden table. The metal coin stopped bleeping but was now glowing blue in four points. Everyone leaned closer as four, thin metal legs came out from the blue points. The metal 'spider' began crawling across the desk and towards the lab. Johnny was about to throw a fireball at the spider when Reed stopped him. "No Johnny, I'm curious let's see what it will do." Johnny lowered his hand and watched in awe as the spider (which had climbed up to the metal workspace) began to glow purple and spin. It was spinning so fast that it hovered at Sue's eye level.
It began bleeping, the bleeps getting louder and louder. Sue raised a force field as the now spinning metal spider let out a purple gas. The whole room was filled with the gas and when Reed opened his eyes, he was horrified at what he saw.
His desks, computers and lab equipment were now black instead of silver and the room was very dimly lit. But what horrified him the most was his teammates. Sue, Johnny and Ben's blue costumes had been replaced with grey ones. Johnny's hand was lit with black flame; Sue's face had a lot of make-up on and Bens orange colored rock skin was now spiked and grey. "It can't be! You're robots! You can't be……..The Fearsome Four!" Reed exclaimed, stepping back and knocking over a vase of black orchids.
The Invisible Lady raised an eyebrow at Reed "Do you mind rubberman. My husband Rick gave me those. But then you came here and he went to where you were…."
"I don't know what you're on about Invisible Lady!" Reed interrupted.
"SHUT UP!" The Invisible Lady boomed. "Oh and for god's sake Reed, stop it with the fearsome four stuff. The way I see it, you're going to be here for a long time so you can call me Sal, The Rock- Glen and The Blackened Torch- Sonny." Sal grinned. "Now, although we need you to get my husband back, that doesn't mean we can't touch you…" She looked at Sonny and Glen who grinned evilly and all three moved towards Reed.
Reed looked at a open window and squeezed through and rolled into a ball and bounced down the road away from the Baxter building without looking back. Back at the Baxter building Sal, Sonny and Glen smirked. "I knew that would happen." Glen grinned and pressed a button under one of many black desks. The rug in the middle of the lab flipped over revealing four black motorbikes. One was over sized and Glen was the one who climbed onto it. When Sonny and Sal were on the bikes, they all turned the keys and drove through the window and landed on the road ten floors below. They drove fast in the direction where they saw Reed bouncing.
