Reed Richards walked through the deserted streetsof New York City. He looked around why had Doom turned him down without even
listening to what he had to say.He walked forward two steps and turned right round the corner of the street he stopped and
looked at the store he was standing outside 'Jack's Liqor' What a Tacky Name he thought but it was probally cheap so he took
a step in and immediatly knew he was making a mistake. Doom would pay for this. He dismissed him without a second thought he
was probally laughing at him. Reed ran three blocks trying to remember where his best friend ben lived.Reed remembered he
lived in an apartment on 57th Street. Reed ran the remaining way to Ben's apartment which he shared with his fiancee Debbie.
Ben would help he hated Doom as much as Reed did. Ben was a slightly chubby man but was feared because he came from a rough area of New York, Yancy Street. Ben was rough but had a heart of gold and had being training as a pilot for nasa and was excelling the best in his class. Reed looked up which apartment was Ben in. He ran across the street nearly being run over by a Cab who was yelling at Reed, even though he wasn't listening. Reed ran to the Pay Phone and slotted some coins in then rummaging through for Bens phone number when he came across a note from Sue, he could tell by her swirly neat writing it read 'Reed please dont forget our date I miss you your always in that lab of yours Love Sue' Holy Crap he thought the date was tonight. She was probally at home so there was no point rushing. He rang bens number. It rang 3 times before Ben answered BEN; Hello...Debbie cut it out REED; Hey Ben it's me Ben; Whats up Reed it's 1'o'clock..stop it debbie Reed; I need you to pilot a ship for me Ben; So that doctor let ya lend his space ship.
Reed; Not exactly Ben;I dont like that not exactly reed whats happening Reed; It was Doom I was meeting y'know Victor Von Doom. So i'm gonna steal the ship and recover my findings Ben; I'm not too sure about this Reed; Please Ben for me Ben; ok but i need more people to man a ship that size Reed; Ok how about Jhonny, sues brother he's great with anything mechanical Ben; Sure and who else Reed; And me Ben sure that'll be great see ya at 3 in the morning. Ben Hung up.Reed dropped the phone back on the hook and started the long walk to sues house to get jhonny and ofcourse to apologize. Reed walked all the way to centeral park but he realized that he was too tired to walk the other half a mile to sues house. The cab pulled to a stop outside the storm residence and Reed payed the man and exited the cab. Reed walked to the door and hesitated should he knock would she be mad. Would Jhonny be allowed to come after all he was only 16. Reed was about to walk away when the door opened to an angry Susan Storm in her night gown. Sue was a blonde but she was most deffintly not stupid with beauty and brains she is a combination that all men in her life compete for. Sue at this moment didn't look nice to Reed at all. She had her arms crossed and her face was a scowl.She said "Reed Richard I waited 2 hours in that tackey resteraunt waiting for you but no the great Reed richards has more important things to do you know sometimes i just feel invisible to you" Shye walked away crying Reed ran after her he wrapped his arms around her saying "Susie I didnt mean to i needed some time alone. " he stopped to think "Sue would you and Jhonny like to come to space with me and Ben" sue turned around "are you serious...When"
"tonight in 2 hours" sue ran upstairs screaming "JHONNY JHONATHEN STORM COME DOWNSTAIRS THIS INSTANT!" sue opened his door and kicked his bed a few times. Reed ran upstairs to Jhonnys room to see Jhonny pop out of the covers "Sue help theres some one in my room...hey sue its you why'd you wake me up" jhonny was a typical teenage heartthrob he had blonde hair good looks and he was a whizz at anything mechanical. He also had a firey temper. Jhonny stood up and said "Sue if you dont tell me why you woke me up at this ridiculous time right now i wil beat the living daylight out of your boyfriend here!" Jhonny was getting mad. Sue calmly explained "Reed has offered us a a seat on the spaceship to study cosmic storms but he needs to know now. Jhonny's face lit up and he ushered them out of the room so he could get dressed. 5 miniuites later he emerged dressed and said "Reed are we going now" reed replied looking at his watch " yeah Jhonny its time we set off" he looked at Sue "are we taking a cab?" Sue looked puzzled "I'll drive us there I've got a car" Jhonny insisted but Sue ended up driving.Sue pulled up at the launch pad that was prepared for the launch before it was denied. The looked around but couldnt see Ben. Reed walked forward a few steps then he saw Ben asleep under a bush. It seemed he had been here a long while. Reed shook his shoulder and spoke softly to him "Ben, Wake up its me Ben Ben" Ben sat up sleepily " hey reed i was just resting my eyes" he looked around " oh so you got the kid" he rubbed his eyes and looked up "Susie what are you doing here" Sue smiled. You didnt think i'd let Jhonny come alone did you" she walked forward and knelt beside Ben " Hey Ben it's been a while" he smiled and hugged her "hey susie" they both stood up. Reed stepped inbetween them all " well team we have exactly 35 hours to get up there and set up before the storm hits" Ben looked at Reed with an unsure look on his face " Reed i I had a look at this thing before you all cam and I dont think the ships sheilding will protect us from this heavy cosmic radiation" Reed looked at him "have I ever led you wrong before?" Reed asked " 7 times Reed 7 times" Ben Replied "well how many of those times was life or death"
"3 times" Ben looked at Reed " But i'll trust you like I always have done" Ben looked at Sue to Jhonny to Reed "what a team A scientist, an adolecesent, a woman and a pilot from Yancy. What a team." Reed walked towards the ship " shall we?" he said offering his hand to Sue. She took it and then they all walked towards the ship. Once inside the put on the space suits Ben sat in the pilot seat and Jhonny sat next to him in hopes of examining the equipment but a stern look from ben detered him.
Reed and Sue sat in seats behind them. "5...4...3...2...1 Blast Off" Ben screamed as the Ship took flight into space.for the first few hours the flight was uncomfortable but they got used to it. Reed undid his seatbealt and stood up. The ships sheilding made sure they stayed firmly on the ground and didn't float away. "Sue go study the cosmic storm on the radar,
Jhonny go and check the sheilding is down and Ben make sure we stay on track" Reed looked at Ben who was lookingh straight ahead in fear " Reed the cloud it's accelerating and I cant get us out in time" Reed looked at what Ben was looking at in front of the ships front window was an enormous green cloud " Ben come on get to the back of the ship the sheilds will protect us" Ben was about to stand up but the seatbealt holding him was stuck fast. Reed ran forward trying to pull the bealt off him " It's no use Reed you go to the sheilding area..Go" Reed stopped and looked at Ben then started to run down the body of the ship. He looked back to see the cloud entering the ship smothering the struggeling Ben. Reed watched as Ben somehow seemed biggger and orange. Reed started running as the security system started locking every door in the ship. Oh God Reed thought Sue, and Jhonny are in seperate rooms they will be locked in. Reed ran to see Sue be overcome by the storm she then dissapeared and then reappeared and dissapeared again. He ran a bit further to the room Jhonny was in . He seemed to be on fire. Reed ran and saw the sheilds lowering to the security room the only safe room in the ship. He ran and threw himself onto the floor and slid trying to get in the gap. He slid through but as he did his fut got caught starting to let the cloud in the room suddenly Reed felt sick. Then suddenly the ship lurched down. Ben must still be alive and sending the ship down to earth. As the ship plummeted Reed reacked for a bar on the roof onto to which he could grab but he couldnt reach it he streched and he stretched until he somehow reached it. He had no time to think as the ship hit the ground. He was knocked out cold by a flying test tube rack.
