Ok so it's short. It's also not an amazing come back. I'm sorry but it will start getting better I hope. Also I'm changing it so Matty is actually 5 years old, not three. Please review.

"Reed?" Johnny called as he carried Amara into the Infirmary. Amara was out cold now; she had passed out during the flight over. He laid his wife gently on one of the beds and went to find Reed.

"He must've gone to get Matty," Johnny muttered and hurried back to the infirmary. He pulled out his mobile from his pocket and dialled Reeds number.

"Reed Richards"

"Reed, it's Johnny," He announced. "Look I'm in the Infirmary with Amara, she's bleeding badly." He continued, trying to keep his voice steady.

"What happened?" Reed asked.

"I'm not sure, it happened before I got there, but she said something about being attacked before she passed out."

"Where's the bleeding from?"

"Her shoulder, it looks really nasty Reed," Johnny replied. "It's all frozen around the wound."

"Apply pressure to the wound to stop it bleeding; I'll be there in a few minutes." Reed paused. "And Johnny, Don't worry."

"Yeah. Hurry." Johnny said as he hung up. "Come on Amara, stay with me." He looked around the room for a cloth or towel. He looked in one of the cupboards and found one. He hurried back to Amara's side and did as Reed instructed. He remained at her side, keeping the pressure on the wound and talking softly to his wife until Reed arrived.

"Johnny?" Reed called out as the door closed behind him.

"In here," Johnny replied. Reed ran into the room and took in the scene around him.

"Ok, Johnny, the best thing you can do is take Matty. I haven't told him what's happened so distract him." Johnny hesitated but then nodded, taking one last look at Amara before going to find Matty in his room.

"Come on Amara," Reed muttered before taking the towel off of Amara's shoulder. He winced as he looked at it. He quickly crossed to the medical cupboard and took out the things he would need: a clean towel, a pain killer and some needle and medical thread. He injected Amara with the pain killer and started cleaning the wound. After he had done that he stitched it up and covered it with a bandage. He also plugged her into a heart monitor, just as a precaution. This happens too often, he thought to himself. It shouldn't be this way, they're good people.

Meanwhile Johnny walked into his room and found Matty playing with one of his toys. He smiled slightly, Matty was so smart for a five year old, and it was sometimes easy to forget he was so young. Johnny figured Matty must have gotten that from Amara's side of the family as he certainly wasn't like that. To Johnny, life was about fun, about living. Or it had been before he met Amara, but he still slipped back into his carefree nature. Not that Johnny thought he was stupid; he had been in NASA after all. He walked over to Matty and picked him up. With a pang he remembered that Matty wasn't his by blood, but apart from that he was every bit his son.

"How was you day Matty?"

"It was good Daddy; the teacher said I was clever." Matty replied proudly.

"You are that," Johnny smiled. "Very clever, like your Mum and your Uncle…and your Aunt."

"You're smart too," Matty said quietly. Johnny laughed.

"I guess I am in my own way."

"Where's Mummy?"

"She's around here somewhere, but give her some room. She's not feeling well." He smiled reassuringly at his son. "Stay here and I'll go check on her."

Johnny strolled into the infirmary and watched as Reed made notes on the chart in front of him.

"How is she?" He asked, fearing the worst.

"Well it's an unusual wound so therefore I'm not sure what the effects of it will be in both the short term and the long term, but I've stopped the bleeding and given her something to stop the pain. Now all she needs to do is sleep." Johnny nodded.

"Have we heard from Sue?" Reed asked. "Wasn't she shopping with Amara?" Johnny stopped short, had he not told Reed? Of course not, I was too worried about Amara.

"She went after the attacker I think. That's another thing Amara managed to say before…"

"She did what?" Reed said. "She shouldn't be doing that! Especially now she's pregnant!"

"She's what?" Johnny asked in shock.

"I ran a test yesterday and found out. Don't tell the others, and don't tell Sue you know."

"Secret's safe. She'll be fine Reed, She'll be invisible. Safe as houses." He paused, still slightly shocked, but please. "Speaking of houses…where's Brick Man?"

"With Alicia I think, we'll give him a call in a minute or two. No point getting him to come when we don't know anything."

"I guess not."
