I own nothing
Susan really, really, really, really, really hoped that they didn't have to get past any more monsters. She also really hoped that Johnny was okay, 'cause he was the only little brother she had.
They rounded yet another corner, but if Susan's sense of direction was good, it was the last corner. She breathed out a sigh of relief, and could feel Ben get a tiny bit less tense next to her. Because at the end of the hall was a pair of double doors, that looked like they probably led to a huge refridgerator. The pair ran up to it. They were twenty meters away...ten...five...Doom?
Dr. Doom was blocking their path, and Susan and Ben had to skid and slide to stop from hitting him. Doom chuckled. "One last test before you get Mr. Hotshot back," Doom said in the sickeningly calm way of his. "You get to fight me."
Something that was probably the beginings of a smile played around Susan's lips. Ben looked satisfied. "You?" Ben said. "We beat you once, we can do it again, you slimeball."
Doom clicked his toungue. "Ben, Ben, Ben. Didn't your mommy ever tell you not to call people names?"
Ben had had enough. With a cry of rage he sprang forward, wrapping his arms wround Doom's throat. Susan had disappeared. Literally. Doom looked at Ben, his eyes sparkling with a joke that only he knew. "You don't get it, do you? Johnny Storm is my prisoner. When I say time's up...time's up."
Ben didn't get it at first, then a look of dawning comprehension and fear shadowed his features. He threw Doom aside and tried to open the door that led to where he knew Johnny was being imprisoned. It was iced shut.
Susan had reappeard. All she could do was stand upright, and even that was a difficult task. She looked at Doom, whispering, "How could you?"
Doom laughed again. "Why wouldn't I? But Susie, you know I haven't given you your weddin present yet. I'll open the door." he reached into his pocket, and Ben instantly stiffened.
"What's the catch, Doom?" the rock man demanded, one hand still on the door. He never would trust Doom again.
Doom laughed for the third time. "No catch. I want Susie to see what-" he opened the door, "Her brother looks like when he's dead."
Susan was through the door in a flash, but Ben lunged for Doom. He landed on thin air. The villian's last words of, "See you soon," were still reverberating through the air. Ben didn't have time to be upset or angry. He had to see that kid.
The first thing Ben noticed was the blank veiw screen. Where was Reed? He couldn't worry about that either. There was crying. Susan.
Ben reached Susan Storm just as a panting Reed came in through the door. "How is he?" both Ben and Reed called out at the same time.
Susan gasped, "He's...he's not breathing."
Nice wedding present, huh? I mean, whatever happened to SPOONS!
