Ben sits in his old room at the Baxter, on his old bed. He feels lost, heartbroken, eleminated from the world. The one person who understood him. The one person who knew what it was like to be different... Gone... Forever. He was stranded... again, on some lonely island in the middle of nowhere. Why?
At this point, he cant stand it any more. Right there, all alone, he cries. He doesn't care what Johnny says. He doesn't care if he still has Sue and Reed and Johnny. He just doesn't care. Nothing right now makes sense. No one else in the world is like him. Nothing. No one. Alone.
Yet, there she is again. Sue appears in the doorway as if by magic. "Why does she always show up?" He asks himself. She's a friend... a comforter... a solder to cry on... Hope. She sits down beside Ben and starts to speak. Slowly, as if choosing her words carefuly, but she does.
"Ben," she begins, "I... I just heard. I am so sorry." Some how, It'll be ok, doesn't seem like a good thing to say. She knows it wont. "Maybe it wasn't her body," says Ben, looking over at Sue. "Maybe it was a mistake, and it's not realy her."
Suddenly, Reed bursts through the door. Oddly enough, he has a excited look on his face. "You wont belive what the guys down in forinzics just told me on the phone." "Uh, it wasn't Alicia they found?" states Sue. "Yeh, how'd you guess?"
Just then, they hear slow, steady, claping behind them. Reed turns, and there stands none other than Dr. Doom. "Congradulations Reed, I knew you'd figure it out. But to bad, because even if she gets out, she wont find you." He stand with his feet planted firmly on the ground, ready to fire a ray of energy at Reed, when a flame hits him on the back of the head.
"You realy didn't think locking me in a closet would do any good, did you?" Johnny laughs from behind Doom. "No." "Oh... You didn't? Well, never mind then." He throughs another flame at Doom and flies out the window.
Well, the battle was long... Doom, in all his errogance, even tried to run once... but they caught him. Finaly, they were able to capture him and left him for the cops to deal with.
Oh yeah, they found Alicia too. Yep, Doom had had her locked up the whole time. Sue finaly got to get her question answered... And Guess what... Johnny was right, for a change:
"So Alicia, What did you tell Ben before you left? I, uh, was sorta spying on you, uh, out the window." Sue admits shyishly.
"What! Ben didn't tell y'all. I'm going to have a baby, that's all." Alicia anounces.
"That's all! Alicia thats great!"
And with that they all go inside, chatting away about the new baby.
Well, that's it! That's the end of my tell. Poor Ben, Dr. Doom should stay in Latviria where he belongs! But, you know, when it all comes down to it... that's how it will always be...
That's life.
