Chapter 4: Realizations
Johnny was lying in his bed. Fully awake, he just didn't feel like getting up. He was quite busy, drowning himself with his thoughts. He was thinking about his sister again. "I hope she's ok" he thought to himself. He was surprised by himself, all this time, when the incident happen, it's when he really found out how much he cared for his sister.
Johnny quickly rushed out of his room, to check up on her, he open the door to Reed's room, she didn't see him, he just took a glance at her face, he knew, she hadn't been sleeping, she had been crying. "It's been about a month, why isn't she getting better…" He began to frustrate himself, he really didn't want to bother her, so he closed the door, and decided he would find himself, Ben, and Sue some breakfast.
Walking to the kitchen, a frightening roar filled the environment, as lightning struck from the sky. Johnny was certainly surprised, he grabbed onto the table to keep his balance as he tried to recover from such shock. Loud explosions roared from outside of the building.
"WHAT IS THAT?" Johnny saw a surprised Ben screaming.
"I'm not sure, but I bet I have a clue" He responded to Ben. "Ben, get changed and get Sue!"
Johnny rushed outside, his thought was true. He was looking at this metallic man. The only metallic man that was alive. "Doom…." Johnny uttered in such surprise and worry.
Doom gave such deep and powerful laugh as he quickly shocked Johnny sending him flying backwards.
Shortly after, Ben and Sue appeared. "Doom!" Ben yelled. Sue just stared in surprise as anyone would be.
"Is that all you people can say?" Doom mocked as he sent a large metal pole flying toward Ben.
"Ben!" Sue was surprised as she saw Ben crashing downward and how strong Victor had become.
"Sue….how are you?" he asked as he walked closer to her.
"What are you doing here?"
"I wanted to see how you were doing, how life?" He stepped closer.
"Shut up…"
Doom then quickly raised his hand and sent a streak of lightning towards Sue. Raising her arm she tried to stop it, as a force field raised in front of her for protection. Still shocking her Doom asked a horrible question. "By the way….how Reed?"
After that comment Sue's emotions crashed, and her force field broke, allowing her to get shocked. It sent a great amount of pain into her body, but her just thinking of Reed sent a pain to her that Doom could never create. He then allowed his hand to drop as he stopped attacking her and stared. He saw her attempt to stand up, with tears in her eyes.
"LEAVE SUE ALONE!" Johnny charged at Doom, enraged in flame. Doom just used his arm and knocked Johnny out of the way, sending him flying once more. Ben then arose, as he witness Sue returning to her state of sadness, but he couldn't do anything, he felt too weak.
"So, the rumors are true" Doom snickered. "Reed got his poor self killed…trying to be the god damned hero, its about time.."
"Shut up!" Sue didn't want to hear Doom disgrace Reed's good name.
"I really am a genius, smarter then that idiot would ever be."
Sue began to cry, she couldn't help it. Doom still continued…
"Heh….I have finally succeeded. Reed was always my main target, but it wasn't meant to be this way." Johnny stood up listening to Doom make his speech.
"There was no mysterious group of people building a weapon! It was all me, it was all my success, It's amazing what money and threats could do to people, it helps you force them to do things"
"What?" Sue was confused she didn't quite understand what Doom was implying.
"I despised all of you! Mostly Reed…..you, together, were unstoppable, but, no matter what, there is always a way to stop the unstoppable….I used my power to control people, I controlled the people who valued their lives more than anything else. I had them create a weapon that was to remain secret, a weapon to destroy the unstoppable fantastic four! But the secret slipped, and was out to the whole world to find, I was sure that was the end….but it wasn't…Reed…Stupid Reed….trying to save the world died by his foolish attempt! I no longer need the weapon, as you can see, my goal was achieved." Doom then let out a great cackle for all to hear.
Sue rose to her feet, her tears of sadness grew to anger and hatred. She slowly stepped up to Doom.
Doom laughed at her. "What do you plan to do? You can't possibly defeat me"
Sue emotions went crazy, she was so angry. "Bastard…." Doom just laughed.
"You bastard!" Sue let out a force field so powerful, all her anger put into it. "You're going to pay for it!"
She let out another powerful force field sending Doom to the ground. He was laying on his back, under his mask, in his eyes, for once, showed fear. He stared at Sue, noticed her face was filled with hatred and anger.
"I'm going to kill you…." She sent a force field that pushed down on Doom's metallic body. He felt as if all the weight it the world was on top of him, causing him a slight breathing problem. Sue raised another hand, ready to finish him off.
"Sue…don't…" She heard her brother's voice. "If you kill him, you won't be any better then him…don't do it"
Sue looked down at him, and tears began to fall again. "Johnny…he killed Reed…"
"Johnny's right Susie…just step away." Ben admited
Johnny walked to his sister, and pulled her away.
Doom couldn't move anymore, the forces Sue sent to him, traveled into his body, making him unmovable. His eyes still showed fear. The police then came and placed the frozen Doom into the police van with a special protective layer to it.
Johnny was holding his crying sister, he felt like it was the same day, when the Lt. told them Reed died. He then pulled away from Sue, and went to the van that contained Doom.
Johnny looked in the small window with bars on it. He saw Doom looking straight back at him.
"You really are a monster aren't you….I swear, if you ever hurt my sister in anyway again, I wont stop her from killing your ass, and if she fails, I'll beat the crap out of you, until you wished you were dead. I could kill you right now…but you know what, you ain't even worth it you freakin ass hole…" With that Johnny left, and Doom remained in the van.
------- The Baxter Building 3 hours after Doom's defeat------
Sue was taking a walk after they had defeated Doom to clear her thoughts. She had returned with a small paper bag in her hand. She then returned to her old position in Reed's room.
2 hours later Johnny went to see how his sister was doing. He saw her like he always did, at Reed's desk but this time, she had something else. He was surprised, he looked on the desk as he saw two pill containers, and beside it was Sue, sleeping.
"SUE!" she quickly awoken as she heard her brother yell her name. He yelled so loud, Ben quickly rushed to the room to see what the problem was.
"Damn it Sue!" Johnny quickly grabbed the two containers. "What the hell is this crap! Antidepressants! Sleeping pills! These things can kill you!"
Sue didn't respond, she just remained at the desk looking blankly.
"Sue…..why the hell are you taking this garbage, if Reed was here he wouldn't want you to take them! You know it!"
"But…..he's not here, and he will never be" her voice was so calm, filled with sadness.
"Sue…I know you're sad, but you have to get over him…." Johnny then walked out of the room, as Ben tried to comfort Sue.
Johnny quickly went to the bathroom and poured all the pills down the toilet and gave it a flush. He looked at the containers and quickly burned them with his hand and threw the remains in the trash can. He rested himself on the wall leaning his head back. "damn it Sue" those few words escaped his mouth.
Johnny walked out to the balcony staring at the horizon. He then felt as a few tears fell down his face, and moved one hand to touch them. "Reed, why did you have to die man" He felt so much pain, he felt as if he had lost one of his close friends, which he did, if this was how he felt, he couldn't imagine what Sue was feeling. All this time, he was trying to comfort his sister, leading her to the path of recovery, but, he couldn't even help himself.
