A/N: This chapter took forever to write. I've been seriously bogged down with homework and writer's block doesn't help. Thanks to all of my reviewers. Sorry to hear about your grandma Chrisfan13.
I have been asked more than once if Harmony is going to get with Johnny. I'm still not too sure about that.
Once again thanks to my 7 glorious reviewers! I was really shocked that I got so many reviews so I dedicate this chapter to every single person who reviewed my story. Some of you were touched by it! I thought it was a lame attempt. Well this isn't that good either, I just had my mind on the next chapter when I wrote this.
Enjoy!

"Okay Johnny just heat this up for me," Reed said to his brother in law. Johnny clicked his fingers and held the flame over a small metal robot. Reed watched excitedly as it melted rapidly. The heat suddenly became too much for him.
"You can stop now," Johnny took his finger away from the metal and blew out the flame.
"Can I go now?" He asked in a bored manner.
'No," Sue said as she walked into the room, she handed Reed a beaker of ice cold water before turning her attention to her brother.
"You need to stop playing on that little computer game of yours," she added.
"I wasn't actually gonna go on my PS2. I was gonna go out,"
"Well you need to be here,"
"And why isn't Ben here?"
"Ben is helping Alicia move into her new flat," Sue was beginning to get annoyed with her brother.
"Why do I have to stay? It's not like Reed needs me to melt anything," Johnny moaned.
"We all need to help Reed figure out how Doom came back to life. Ben will be here as soon as he's finished."
"There. I've recreated the state Victor was in, now I just need to reverse it," Reed announced triumphantly, he put the beaker down on the table and leaned back in his chair. He tried and failed to move the robot's joints for a demonstration.
"Did you ever think of melting it again?" Johnny offered. He knew he wasn't going to get out so he may as well contribute to the brainy part of being a superhero.
"If I melt it nothing special will happen,"
"Oh really?" Johnny asked mischievously. He clicked his fingers and lowered his temperature as much as possible.
"No!" Reed shouted as Johnny held his finger over the robot. Reed blew out his flame and glared at the teenager.
"Move the joints," Johnny commanded confidently. Reed reluctantly picked up the surprisingly cool robot and moved the arm. He looked down at it in shock. It moved, the joints were moving again. Johnny had found the answer!
"Oh my god," Sue said, not taking her eyes off the robot. She looked at her brother in shock and hugged him. Johnny coughed and tried to wriggle out of his sister's vice like grip.
"Those tutoring lessons worked!" she squealed as she pulled away from an uncomfortable Johnny.
"I mean five years of extra help from me should have showed at some point. I was beginning to think something was wrong with me," she added to Reed who was looking a little confused.
"Can I go now?" Johnny asked again.
"Wait for Ben," Sue instructed. The elevator bell sounded through the top floor of the Baxter Building.
"There he is now. Not long Johnny," Reed said, clearly pleased to not have to worry about Doom's return anymore. A person shuffled into the lab.
"Yo Ben… Whoa!" Johnny looked up at the woman standing in the hallway.
"Ok… Ben you got a sex change and you changed you skin color! And you look…you look. I can't believe I'm gonna say this. You look…hot!" Johnny said in amazement.
"Ok maybe those lessons didn't work," Sue, admitted to herself.
"That's not Ben," Reed said in a tiresome tone.
"Oh," Johnny said slowly.
"Can we help you?" Sue asked the woman standing in the hallway. She looked nervous and awkward in jeans and an olive green tank top and a grey hooded jumper that was unzipped. She wore a large black shoulder bag. Her shoulder length black hair was soaked and raindrops were dotted on her brown skin.
"Um…yeah. I was wondering if-" the girl was interrupted by loud footsteps.
"Hey guys…who's that," Ben asked as he took off his hat and trench coat. He threw them over a large piece of machinery, earning a scowl from Reed.
"We don't know," Johnny told his friend. Sue looked at the girl and urged for her to continue.
"I was wondering if…if maybe you guys would let me help you," The girl scanned the Fantastic Four's faces for a reaction.
"Who the hell are you?" Ben asked bluntly.
"Ben!" Sue scolded.
"No it's okay. My name's Harmony, Harmony Gray."
"What could you help us with?" Reed asked curiously.
"I can help you kill Doom," she answered quickly. The four exchanged glances.
"Um…we can't allow that honey," Sue said gently.
"I know what you guys are thinking but I'm different. Doom killed my Dad, brother and sister in law two weeks ago. My mother," Tears started to fall down her cheeks. "My mother killed herself today because of him. I wanna get him back. Please."
"No," Reed answered simply. He stood up and walked away, sob stories had a strange way of affecting him.
"Hey, where'd she go?" Johnny asked the others. Reed turned around to see what he was walking about. Harmony was gone.
"I can do things other people can't," Reed spun around. Harmony was standing in front of him.
"Huh," Ben muttered as he scratched his head.
"I'm a teleporter. And that's not all!" Harmony hovered a few feet into the air.
"Whoa," Johnny muttered under his breath.
"I can fly and…and I can shoot laser beams," The four watched in amazement as her hands suddenly began to glow blue. Then without warning a beam shot out of her hands and through the large window in Reed's lab."
"Yes," Sue muttered. Reed turned to face her, shock showed all over his face.
'I never liked that window," she explained to her husband.
"Sorry," Harmony mumbled, her feet were now firmly placed on the ground.
"You can stay," Sue told Harmony.
"WHAT!" Reed yelled.
" I don't know what it is about her but…she's different. She just might be what we need to finish Victor off." Reed nodded reluctantly. As much as he hated it, Sue had a point and she was very good at reading people.
"Fine. She can have the spare room," he mumbled.
"The…the spare room. You mean we couldn't' go and fight him now,"
"Now?" Johnny laughed. "We don't even know where the dude is, let alone how we're gonna kick his ass."
"Oh," Harmony answered disappointedly.
"You can stay here until we get enough information to get Doom." Sue said in a calm tone.
"Yes, then we could help you have more control over your powers," Reed muttered as he eyed his broken window.
"Well… if I'm no longer needed I'm gonna go out," Johnny said as he walked towards the elevator. He walked right into an invisible wall.
"I don't think so," Sue said. Johnny groaned and reluctantly shuffled back into the lab.
"You can help our guest settle in. How old are you Harmony?"
"19,"
"There you guys are the same age. You should get along just fine.
"That's Ben's room. He just sits in there for hours thinking about how life has been so unkind to him. He owns NO mirrors."
'I heard that Matchstick," Ben grumbled from in his room.
"He gets really touchy these days." Harmony giggled slightly and followed Johnny down the hall. He stopped outside a door and threw it open.
"THIS is my palace," he announced proudly. Harmony looked around the red room. A double bed was in the centre of the room. A large stereo was in one corner along with a pinball machine. Large stacks of magazines were in one corner. Posters of women lined his walls.
"Nice," Harmony nodded with a smile.
"Is that all? Fine. Most people are amazed and rush inside,"
"I'm not most people," Harmony retorted playfully. Sue poked her head round her bedroom door.
"How long does it take to do a tour of our home?"
"Couple of hours," Johnny replied.
"It's late, get to bed now!"
"Whatever," Johnny muttered "come on, I'll walk you to your room,"
"I think I can walk a few metres by myself."
"And that is why you came to live with the greatest superheroes on earth,"
"You're the only superheroes on earth," Johnny's jaw dropped in mock shock.
"Goodnight Johnny," Harmony said as she went into her room.
"G'night," he said before going into his own room.
Harmony looked around the room. It was very spacious with cream walls and a large mirror. She threw herself down on the double bed and pulled out her mobile phone. I have got to tell Olivia.
A/N: Only read this if you didn't get my experiment. It seems pretty chaotic to me.
Reed constructed a robot or figure with moveably joints. He had Johnny go nova on the robot and then cooled it down. Johnny figured out that heating it up (so it wasn't melting but wasn't still frozen) made it moveable again.
