Jessica was walking around the lot where she was to meet Victor. She had gotten here twenty minutes early. She had told everyone that she had gone to the mall to get something for the wedding. Sue had wanted to come but Jess had said she wanted it to be a surprise and Sue had reluctantly agreed.
She was deep in thoughts of Sue's wedding and now her own, when she heard footsteps. Victor came into view. "Hello, Jessica. It's been a while." He smiled.
"Tell me why you wanted to meet me so I can be away from you."
"Oh, Jess. I was hoping we could get to know each other again, seeing as how we're related now. Please."
"Ok. My name's Jessica. I'm 29 years old" yeah right, she thought. "I live with some old friends. I'm getting married to the love of my life soon. Anything else? Oh yeah, I have telekinesis. What else do you want to know? Nothing. Ok then I can leave."
"Why are you in such a hurry? I'm the only family you have..."
"No. My family is Johnny, Sue, Reed and Ben. Nowhere was your name mentioned."
"Accept this as a good thing, Jessica. I have."
"Yes, that's probably because you want me to be just like you. You want me to think that these powers make us gods. Well, they don't. Get over your power madness and accept that."
"Do you know why you we're adopted as a chid? My- sorry- our father didn't want a daughter to inherent everything. Never did. So he made our mother put you up for adoption."
"Wow. That sounds like something you would do, Victor."
"If that's how you truly feel, then there's no point in talking anymore. Good bye, Jessica."
"Finally." Then she thought of something. "Hey! I'm older than you?"
"Yes. Why?"
"No reason. Now leave me alone." She walked back to her car and actually went to the mall. She had told the truth. She had seen something she thought Sue would love for the wedding.
It had been about an hour after her meeting with Victor. While she was getting it, her phone rang. It was Johnny. "Jess, hurry up. Reed and Sue went out earlier and I just got a call from- you won't believe this- Von Doom saying he had them captured. Come back1 we need your help!" He hung up.
