H! VLTG3 Translation: High Voltage


Summary: Reed Richard's thoughts when he's confronted by Sue and Ben about his and Sue's 'past/present-tense' relationship.
A Dog doesn't wander far from home when its rejected Verbally

It sits near the tree across from the house waiting for its owner to accept him once again

(Or at least that's my parents told me . . .)

Susan Storm's determination to rope me reminds me of that

She leaves me and ends up somewhere close

Hate incubates strong inside her when she sees me in Victor's office

I try to show her that I'm not bothered by the fact that she's with Victor Doom

I try to hide the fact that her anger bounces off my skin

gets an equal angry reaction from me

I try to be happy for her choices in life

(even though I know I'm not. Companion wise)

She won't let me

Ben and Johnny are aware of the fact that I still harbor feelings for her

Sue and Victor seem to aware of this too . . .

Am I that transparent?

My face does damn good job of hidng my feelings faically

I've been told that my eyes tend give away what I actually feel

Ben continues to poke and prod me

Trying to get me to confess my undying love to Sue

Sue questions if I felt anything when she left me

I expertly dodge the subject by going to Johnny's aid

Of course I did . . . I felt hurt . . . heartbroken

Why ask such a redundant question?

I won't mess up what she has . . . . with Doom

I'm trying to move on with my life

Trying to take the next step among the many stairs of life

Sue and Ben won't let me

Sigh

Thank God for long working hours and Bathrooms
