Torched: A Fantastic Four/X2 crossover

Author's notes: The idea for this fan fiction came during my third viewing of the movie "Fantastic Four". I liked the way that Johnny Storm/The Human Torch was portrayed so much that I decided to write about him. And then I got an even better idea: write about him and my Original Characters Wolf Riverson and Luna D'Canto from "Ice Moon Fire Wolf". There will be a few differences between the characters, but for a bit of back story, you might want to read that first before taking this on. This story will also have Rogue, John "Pyro" Allardyce and Bobby "Iceman" Drake. It will also have Reed Richards, Susan Storm and an appearance by Ben Grimm. By the way, if anyone's wondering, I have seen F4 five times, because I like it so much. This story is rated T for teen because of a bit of language, sensuality and an alcohol reference or two. It may be changed, but I'm not sure. So anyway, I hope you all enjoy this as much as I have enjoyed writing it.

PROLOUGE:

Johnny Ships Out

"A school for mutants? Sue, you're sending me to a school for mutants!" Johnny Storm was understandably upset. "But I told you that what happened to the trash barge was an accident!"

"Johnny, you know that, and I know that, but to the mayor and just about everyone else, it looked as though you did it on purpose." Susan Storm, Johnny's older sister said as she calmly packed her brother's things in a trunk. "Now, you need to go somewhere where you can be taught to control your powers and it just so happens that Charles Xavier runs such a place. Now, despite what's happened, he has graciously decided to let you stay there and he can help you master your powers. You should thank him when you get there." She calmly closed the lid. "You know Johnny, mutants aren't bad…they're just people with a few genetic differences…just like us."

Johnny sighed. "True…so, how long am I supposed to stay there?"

Susan didn't look directly at him when she answered. "Until this whole thing blows over."

"And that would be?"

"Anywhere from six months to a year."

"SIX MONTHS! You're putting me in a mutant boarding school for SIX MONTHS!"

"Johnny, calm down or you'll set the place on fire or something."

"But Sue..."

"No buts, Johnny. You're going. It's for your own good, you know. One day, you'll thank me for this."

"Somehow I doubt that."
