Disclaimer: I only own Harmony and Larry.

Author's note: I know this took a long time but what could I do. I've just sent the Fantastic Four on a search and don't have a clue what they will find. Well you should read this and help me with ideas people. I've got serious writers block here and the story cannot continue without you. Thank you for the reviews I received for the last chapter.

Reed sighed happily and admired his repaired window. He was proud of it and that was all that mattered. He walked up to the window and looked out over the city. It was unusually quiet; Reed frowned and ran a hand through his hair.

"BOO!"

"AAAHHH!" Reed spun around to face Sue. She giggled and threw her arms around him.

"You scared the life out of me," he puffed.

"I know," she said as she giggled even more. "So what is our resident genius doing?" she added.

"Just looking out the window," Sue pulled away from Reed and looked out the window. She noticed the almost empty street.

"What's going on?" she asked as she walked closer towards the window.

"That's what I was wondering," Reed answered

"Maybe we should check it out." Susan turned away from the window and headed out the lab.

"Get ready, I'll tell the others," Sue said over her shoulder. Leaving Reed to ponder about the empty street.

Sue walked into the living room. Johnny and Harmony were playing on the PS2 and Ben was dozing off in his armchair. Sue leaned against the doorframe and watched the scene.

"How come your so good at this?" Johnny moaned. He threw his controller down in frustration and leaned back on the sofa. Losing wasn't one of his favourite things.

"I'm a natural," Harmony answered simply.

"Did you read some cheats on the internet?"

"No. Face it Johnny. You lost," Johnny crossed his arms and made a face at Harmony. She rolled her eyes and started playing a different game. Johnny and Harmony had grown pretty close in one week. Sue knew where it was going and she wasn't that keen. They had a good friendship and one of Johnny's one-week relationships would probable wreck it. It would be nice if he dated someone with a brain for once.

"Okay guys we've got some potential trouble so you guys need to suit up."

"YES!" All eyes turned to Johnny. "What? It's about time we had some action."

"Just get ready," Sue said dismissively.

"Um…shall I stay here?" Harmony asked nervously.

"Of course not sweetheart. We need all the help we can get." Sue replied

"But I don't have a suit."

"That's what YOU think," Sue said with a smile.

"Sue has a lot of spare time on her hands. She makes us all extra suits you can have one," Johnny told Harmony.

The five friends stepped out of the Baxter Building and onto the empty street. Harmony pulled at the collar of her new suit.

"I thought you said this was comfortable," she said to Reed.

"Reed's addicted to tight clothes," Johnny said with a smirk. His smirk faded from the disapproving look he received from his sister and brother in law.

"We should split up," Reed announced.

"Yeah, then we can find the action quicker," Ben said as he pounded his fists together. Harmony noticed the smile on his face. These guys really get a kick out of this job.

"Sue you go east, Ben go west and I'll head north. Johnny. Harmony. Circle the area and see if you can find anything." The four nodded in agreement. Johnny flamed on and shot into the air and Harmony floated up with him. Reed, Ben and Sue ran their separate ways.

Reed slowed his pace down after he had run a few blocks. He stopped outside an arcade that was usually full of children and younger teenagers. The arcade was deserted. Reed frowned and carried on walking. Nearly all the shops seemed abandoned. Reed walked into a shop that had a few people in it. He approached the counter. The sales man was sitting down and reading an out of date paper. The man heard Reed approach and looked up. He glanced at Reed's suit and down at his newspaper. He looked at Reed again and then to his paper. He stared at Reed in shock for a few seconds.

The man came to his senses and stood up, nearly knocking the stool over that he had been sitting on. He shook Reed's hand vigorously.

"Mr Fantastic it's an honour to meet you. Wow I can't believe this," He said in an over excited voice. Reed smiled.

"Well, I was wondering if you could help me-"

"ME! Me help Mr Fantastic! Sir I am honoured, oh my. Wait till I tell the kids about this." The man interrupted. "My name's Larry by the way. Larry Biggson."

"Hi Larry. Tell me, have you seen anything suspicious lately?"

"Oh…. hmm…let me think about that. Come to think of it I had a particularly odd customer this morning. He seemed quiet dazed, he brought an…um…damn I can't remember. Hope I helped though."

"Yes, do you know which way he went?"

"Yeah sure, he went left,"

"Thanks." Reed turned to leave the shop.

"Wait!" Reed turned around. Larry was holding up a camera with a big smile on his face.

"Please?" He begged. Reed nodded reluctantly and walked over to pose for a few pictures.
