I'm really glad about the response I got on the first chapter for this. I honestly didn't think I'd get four reviews in one day. Thanks everybody. And ignore the choppiness and how it doesn't work with the movie DX some parts do, others don't. sorry.
Disclaimer is in the first chapter. Typos are mine XD
Enjoy :D
The walk back went a lot faster than the walk out. But the main component was how fast her brother was walking ahead.
" Christ, will you stop being mad for one second?" She breathed, jogging lightly to catch up.
" I'm not mad." he replied.
" Yeah you are, I can tell. Your walking as fast as you possibly can and your not talking. I wasn't born yesterday." she grabbed his elbow, pulling him back," Now, will you slow down. I don't wanna have to run to catch up to you."
If there was a time to do damage control or do something…it was now. Having to do things like this wasn't fun on Jenny's part. Particularly if it means that Johnny wouldn't talk to her for three, four days. Or just take to torturing her by lighting some article of clothing on fire, while she was wearing it of course. The latter becoming optional since they returned from space. She looked upward, cursing whatever god listened. Mumbling something to herself before actually saying something to someone.
" That was kinda uncalled for Johnny." she admitted, " You could at least apologize to Ben. Not like he really had a choice in the hand he got dealt."
" So your siding with them now?"
" Way to jump to conclusions." she commented. " No I'm not. But what you said to Ben was below the belt."
" Great, your lecturing me now too?"
" My god man. Is there no getting trough that thick ass skull of yours? Its like trying to get Vic to call us anything besides 'Jonathan and Jennifer' when Susie isn't around." she gave an aggravated grunt.
" Jenny?"
" What?" she snapped, albeit unintentional.
" Your on fire again." he pointed out simply.
She looked down at her sleeve to find everything from the elbow down was up in flames and smoke. She gave a yell shaking her arm frantically, attempting to put herself out. Patting her arm in another abortive attempt. " Dammit" she cursed," why can't I put myself out!" in one last frivolous attempt she stuck her fingers in her mouth to douse any of the flames. Luckily after those went out the rest of her arm followed.
Looking over she realized that her brother was holding back a fit of laughter watching jenny flail around like that trying to put herself out. She quickly calmed herself down. Unbuttoning the shirt, quickly taking it off, tossing it in one of the many garbage cans that they passed.
" Now I'm gonna light something a yours on fire when your not lookin'. Jus' for that." she made the point by jabbing him in the chest. Quickly walking further in the opposite direction. A small wave of steam forming above her head. Causing her hair to become a bit static-y.
" What? It was funny. I wish I had a camera." he laughed, " Especially for your hair Alfalfa."
" Your lucky we're related," she grumbled through clenched teeth. Attempting to smooth out her hair, taking it out of its bun, running her hands through it a few times and putting it back up. Her bangs still stuck out at a few odd angles." or your ass would be flambé right now."
" Oh you love me and you know it."
" Although sometimes forcibly." she added.
Upon finally getting Johnny's clothes they hitched a cab to get back to the Baxter building. As quietly as humanely possible. Neither of them wanted to get the lecture by Sue. So the best route was either not come home until the early morning, which would result in an even longer lecture about thinking before you act and respecting others sleeping habits. Even so, the twins would much rather just be lectured about thinking before acting. Though Johnny already got that speech earlier. So it was now Jenny's turn to get it.
Taking the safe route they took the stairs, opening the front door as quietly as possible and sneaking to their respective rooms. Johnny was lucky, his room was the second door to the left. Jenny had to go to the end of the hallway. This left a bigger chance of getting caught.
" Jenny?" it was Sue. Jenny dropped her shoulders sighing. almost, I was almost there, the thought. Balling her hands up into fist before walking to the living room.
" God speed." Johnny mouthed.
" Stuff it." she mouthed back. She slid a few steps to be in plain view of her older sister. " Yeah Sue?" she knew she was in trouble.
" Sit down." Sue commanded. Jenny grimaced before plopping down on said couch. " Do either of you even think?"
" Yea-" Jenny began to answer but was interrupted.
" Because apparently you don't. At all, Jennifer, why wouldn't you stop him? If he listens to anyone it's you most of the time. We are trying to fix this. Especially for Ben's sake. You know that." she half yelled. Jen knew she was in trouble if Sue used her real name.
" Susie?"
" And now you two get to be the poster child of this fiasco. It's official. You two have absolutely no common sense. You were told to stay in the Baxter building unless absolutely necessary."
" Sue?" she grabbed a throw pillow form the edge of the couch. Clutching it, and aggravated twitch of her eyebrow. Her sister was on one of her rampages. Verbal rampages, they were the absolute worst since Sue never seemed to listen to the person she was yelling at.
" There was a reason for that. We don't need to be labeled as New York's new superhero team."
" SUE!" Jenny finally yelled. " Good lord. When you get rollin' you cant stop can ya? I know you guys are trying to fix this. I'm fine the way I am. I'm positive Johnny is too. I mean, do what you need to for Ben by all means. I understand. You may be used to being kept up in one place. But we need to get out every once in a while."
She finally let go of the pillow. Now with two new hand shaped burn marks. " dammit." she swore. " See? Even we got our own problems to deal with. The shelf life of our wardrobe is now deducted to like a month tops." she leaned back, sighing," I'm sorry Susie, I know I shoulda stopped him from giving us names, I was still bent on the fact you were gonna find out and rip both of us a new one. Hell, I told him he should apologize to Ben too." Jenny stood up, shuffling in the direction of her brothers room.
" What are you doing Jen?"
" I am gonna go kill my brother for laughing at my dried out hair and my reaction to being on fire. I'll be back soon." she said, with a slight bounce in her voice and her step. But after nearly spilling on the floor she took to shuffling like she always did in her knee high socks.
She had one of those evil grins slapped across her face turning the doorknob. Cracking her knuckles menacingly. She gave a silent snicker, the stereo was up. Things like these made sneaking on him so much easier. She got a jogging start ready to lunge on him.
And she slipped.
And fell, on her face…nearly. She gave a panicked squeak. Nearly having her chin meet the floor. She propped herself up with one elbow tapping her fingers on the floor. Mumbling incoherencies about stupid hardwood floors and socks. She gave a small grunt rolling over to face the ceiling.
" Smooth Jen, real smooth." Johnny teased. Peering over the bed.
" Do not make me get up. I'm in a bad enough mood already."
" I can tell."
" And how's that?" she retorted sarcastically.
" Well my dear Watson, your snapping at anything and everything, inanimate object or not. And your scowling really bad. Now, if you keep doing that your face is gonna stick that way."
" My names not Watson, Sherlock." she said flatly.
" And my names not Sherlock, but what're you gonna do?"
" Potentially kill you, that's seems like a good plan so far."
" And its stuff like that, that lets me know you care."
" Good to know." she finally took her hair out of the bun, it was getting a little uncomfortable lying on the floor with it up. A few seconds after that her cowlick came up. " I hate this thing sometimes." she muttered blowing the stray strand of hair suck up away, but as it always did, it returned to its natural place.
" Mom thought it was the cutest thing ever." Sue informed, she was leaning in the doorway to see what was going on. Usually here would have been a loud thud and possibly a lamp breaking or Jenny yelling 'uncle' to get Johnny to let go of her head.
" Yeah." she admitted. For a while it was one of the very few things that told the difference between Johnny and Jenny when they were first born. Their dad often times forgetting which outfit went on which baby. Pink or blue. That was when Mary stepped in and finally showed him the trick after five cases of mistaken identity ( Of course it was solved when it was time to change diapers.). Jenny was the one with the cowlick, Johnny had the big blue eyes. It made a lot of things easier for everyone now that that matter of telling the difference was settled.
" So what brought you to the eternal darkness that is Johnny's room?" Jenny sat up leaning on the mattress.
" I was making sure you weren't killing Johnny."
" Now when have I ever threatened to do that and acted upon it?" she stood up, stretching a bit, listening to the small cracks that came from her back. " Anyway, I'm takin' a shower and takin' a nap. I've had way to much excitement for one day."
" Well I have a workaholic to check on."
" Eh, later." she mumbled walking out of the room and into her own to grab what she needed.
For the record, Jenny sleeps like a rock. It'll take an earthquake to wake her up. Or exponentially loud crashes. That was when Jen decided to get up and see what the disturbance was. When she got to the lab part of the apartment she saw Sue, and a humanized Ben on the bottom floor.
" Susie?" she yawned, jumping over the balcony," what was that?" she asked concerning about the noise. She gave a small grimace, her feet ached a little after landing on the hard concrete.
" I don't know."
" Sue?" Johnny just came back and was coming from down the hall.
" Johnny the machine worked!" she shouted," Give me a hand."
Well that answered one question for Jen.
" You okay big guy?" the twins asked at the same time helping Ben into a chair, or stack of crates if you want to split hairs.
Ben gave a grunt, it wasn't much. But it was enough to know he wasn't dying. Or at least wast hurt too bad.
" Where's Reed?" Sue asked. Ben just looked up at the large hole in the window. After setting Ben in a chair the three went out on the balcony to see if they could find where Reed was.
Victor had Reed bolted to a chair with liquid nitrogen. Going over chem. 101. In his own sadistic way, bending back one of his fingers all the way. Vic was currently going over the question 'what happens to rubber when its super cooled?'. Reed couldn't really do much of anything in the state he was in except watch Doom reach for what appeared and was a rocket launcher. An heat seeking rocket launcher. heat seeking, the screen showed one violet form, which was sue and two bright yellow to orange figures which were assumed to be Johnny and Jenny.
" Lets check up on the family shall we?" Victor asked, one missile locking onto Johnny, Doom pulled the trigger sending the projectile reeling for the Baxter Building, shattering the glass window in the process.
Back on the balcony Sue, Johnny and Jenny just saw something coming toward the building. Upon finally realizing what it was, the twins looked at each other, with a look of 'oh shit' plastered on their face. Both rushing to the balcony to see if anything could be done. The both thought it was now or never to try to see if this would work.
The missile still making its way toward the building.
Is that a cliff hanger? Cos' if it is that's what I was going for. :D thanks again for the people who read and reviewed, and alerted and faved :DD
I believe next chapter will wrap up the movie. Then I'M NOT BOUND BY MOVIE SCRIPTS XD YES! Sometimes that annoying when you don't quite know the dialogue and you have to go through the scene like fifteen times.
Sorry
Next chapter will be up soon. At most a week, hope this holds you all off for now
