Disclaimer: Same one as the last, I don't own these characters or the plot of the movie, I do however own Maria.

Just a little warning, there's mild references in this chapter, but nothing you won't find outside a PG rating.

Chapter 2.

It was early morning as Maria waited outside the base for her father to come. She made a point of being early anyway, she like the calmness that came with the dawn, especially this one. The sun shone through the rain as it fell in a straight line with no wind to knock it off course. It came down as a blanket, and she watched at each individual drop broke up into hundreds of little ones as they hit the floor. She knew without a doubt that a rainbow would be forming soon on the other side of the base, 'Nature's miracle,' she thought as she continued to watch the sun shine through the rain.

The silence was soon broken by voices, she recognised one as he father's, and the other as the one that belonged to Reed Richards. She waited as they came around the corner, "Honey, why aren't you waiting for me inside? You'll catch hypothermia out here," Ben scolded.

Maria smiled, "I like the rain, besides if I got sick I wouldn't have to go up into space, would I?" she said half smuggishly. "Hi Richards, how are you?" She asked giving him a hug.

"Fine, but I'd be much better when we're in doors and out of this rain," he replied hugging her back, and then lead the way inside.

It was large inside the base, and very white. In fact it reminded her of the place that aliens were dissected behind the fence of Area 51. She looked around her as she followed the two men as they led the way through the base to a back room.

Victor Von Doom greeted the trio at the door of the room, he was on his way out. After greeting the males, he turned to Maria, "Miss Grimm, glad you could make the trip," he smiled, rather obviously forced a smiled.

Maria too forced a smile, "Hey Vernon, what's up?" offering her hand in a cheeky and mock cocky way.

The older man coughed, "It's 'Victor.'" He said throught gritted teeth, ignoring her hand and walking past them, leaving Reed and Ben laughing to themselves.

She saw Sue Storm was waiting for them to come with what looked like uniforms in her arms. As she greeted each person individually she handed out the uniforms. "Thanks," she said the blonde girl as she handed her one. She waited for her father and Reed to leave the room before asking, "Will it look as good on me as it does on you?" Sue had a curvier figure than Maria did.

Sue smiled, "I asked the designers to add a built in booster bra for you," she whispered. Maria smiled; she looked to Sue as an older sister. She'd taken her to buy her prom dress for her high school prom three years previously, and helped her pick out the right bra to go underneath as she didn't have much up top.

"I'll change go into it," she smiled, and quickly hurried out of the room.

Sue shook her head as she wandered why she'd hurried out of the room so quickly, until she felt Johnny's presence by her. "Was the Maria Grimm?" he asked, then whistled.

Sue elbowed her brother, "Don't even think about it, she's Ben's child," she warned.

The young man laughed, "No, she's not, or she wouldn't be so attractive." he added.

"He's been her guardian since she was 10, making her pretty much his child, and he'd pound you if he heard you speaking in such a disrespectful matter about her." she said strongly. She admired Ben for taking in his niece after the death of her parents, and even more so for adopting her.

"Whatever, I can think what I like about her," he paused, "Or is that a crime too?" he asked sarcastically.

"Just be careful with her, she's not like other girls," his older sister warned as he rolled his eyes. Just then the buzzer sounded signally all astronauts to the launch platform.

The six astronauts climbed into the rocket. "I wish your uniform wasn't so revealing," Ben told Maria silently.

"I'm 21, it's ok to wear clothing like this now," she shrugged, "Besides, Sue's is the same," she told him in hush tones. He knew she was going to say that, Sue was the main female influence in her life, and she looked up to her. When she started wearing make up, she simply replied "Sue wears it," he later found out it was Sue who gave her 'the first make up set', and bought her 'the first bra'. He had hoped that she and Debbie would get along, and Debbie would be like her mother, but for some reason Maria thought the two weren't suited.

As they entered the rocket's main body, Johnny approached her, "You look good in that uniform," he said glancing briefly at her chest.

She smiled, "Thank you, and your uniform makes you look very… different," she glanced at his crotch, "Is your dick really that small?" she smiled before going to her seat.

Each person belted up and waited for blast off.
