Disclaimers: I don't own the F4 characters, if I did the I wouldn't have to do a disclaimer, wouldn't I? Ha ha (ok, maybe not that funny…)
A/n-yeah, it's been like three weeks sine I last updated. An eventful three weeks it has been too… I fell off my motorbike and broke my glasses, so I couldn't type. I also couldn't read the subtitles on the screen when I went to see the Da Vinci Code, and had to watch X-Men 3 all blurry and squinting…lol. I then managed to get the flu because…haha. Anyway, on with the chapter!

Ben crashed through the swing doors on the exit to the ward where they were told the could find his daughter and Johnny. A doctor (immediately recognising him, and Reed who had just caught up with him, and Sue who was bringing up the rear guiding Alicia) approached him. "Where are they?" Ben asked before the doctor could say anything.
The doctor smiled, and didn't seem phased at all by the celebrities, "You have no need to be alarmed, they are both fine," she said. "They have both suffered minor injuries, nothing serious. Wait here, I will go and get them."
She disappeared and Ben turned to the other three, "If they are both fine then why didn't one of them call?" he asked.
Reed shrugged, "I am sure they will tell us the reason for all the heart attacks they have given us," he said half jokingly, and pointed in the direction behind Ben.
He turned and saw the doctor walking with Johnny and Maria in tow, both sported an expression on their faces that children occasionally wore. Especially children who were worried they were going to get a big telling off of some kind that involved allowance revoking.
"Here they are," the doctor said smiling, "all good to go," she said. "Just both of you take is easy, ok?" she asked them, when they both nodded their reply she smiled, said goodbye and walked away.
There was a short silence before Ben asked "Well?"
Maria looked at Johnny, who returned her look. "They insisted on us to go in the ambulance to get checked out, so we did," Johnny said, in a defensive way. "But we couldn't call you because my car had to be towed, then the police came to talk to us about the red light, and I kept thinking "Sue's gonna be so worried" but I had to wait until we'd been, checked over and questioned," he babbled.
The other four stared at them with wide eyes, "Wait, police? Red light? Questioning?" Sue said, "What the hell have you guys done?" she asked, not knowing to be angry with them or relieved there was nothing wrong with them. "Never mind, forward march, both of you!" she said, "We'll discuss this when we get home!" she pointed to the exit of the hospital. Johnny and Maria just looked at each other, then back at the four angry looking adults. "MOVE!" Sue said sternly, "NOW!"
"Yes ma'am!" Johnny said saluting, and grabbed Maria's hand, pulling her swiftly to the exit with the other four in tow.
As soon as they made their way in the parking lot, the six piled into the van the government have given them to do their bidding. Maria couldn't understand why they were receiving so much from the government, what were the tax payers thinking?
The drive back was silent, Maria hadn't spoken a word since they'd been picked up. Johnny was too afraid to open his mouth in case jokes fell out, he never was one for awkward silences. He kept glancing Maria, who's eyes were constantly focussed on one spot on the floor of the van.
When the six had arrived back the Baxter building, and reached the floor of their rooms, they divided into three's. Johnny went with Reed and Sue. Maria, with Ben and Alicia.
The two young adults knew they'd be in trouble, but they weren't to know that this was just the beginning.
