"Ah, three down, two to go," a deep voice said. A smirk appeared behind a metal mask as a man watched an explosion from afar. The man wore a dark forest green hooded cloak, his hands and feet covered in metal boots and gloves to insure he was able to use his strength to its abilities.

The latch on the machine connected to Reed flipped, a gentle hissing sound escaping it. Reed's eyes looked around, trying to find what flipped the switch. The metal findings around his wrists were unscrewed and removed. The tank on the back of the chair started to move.

"Sue," he wheezed, she pressed and invisible finger to his lips.

"What has he down to you?" she asked while unscrewing his other bond.

"How romantic," A voice cooed form behind them making Sue gasp causing her to become visible.

"Victor, please," She said sidestepping beside Reed.

"Call me Doom."

"The machines works. It worked on Ben. It can work on you. We can turn you back," Sue said. Unbeknownst to everyone except Reed, light was emanating from his apartment.

"Do you really think fate turned us into gods so we could refuse these gifts?" Victor took a step closer to Sue.

"Victor, you always thought you were a god," Sue sassed, "Now back off."

"Susan, let's not fight," Victor teased.

"No, let's," she shot a blast of energy at him making him stumble backward and the window break behind him.

He looked up at her, "Susan, you're fired," he said as he shot a surge of electricity at her making Sue to fly through the air and hit the wall, "To think I was about to share my life with you," he walked past Reed and towards her. With a slight intake of breath she became invisible, causing him to exhale in frustration, "Marco…" his head moved from side to side, searching for signs for Sue, "Polo…" Victor still looked, "Marc—" Victor started to say but this time Sue cut him off with another surge of energy. She sent two more waves a him before he used electricity to stop. His arm shot out and grabbed her by the throat, "Did you say goodbye to your brother, Johnny?" he asked lifting her higher off the ground. On cue a female scream ripped through the building, the same scream that Reed heard when Victor was torturing him. Victor threw Susan to land next to Reed, the two shared a loving look, "It's time to end this," Sue looked up at Reed, panic visible in her face.

Then Ben crashed through the wall behind Victor, "No, Vic. It's clobberin' time!" his fist collided with Victor's chest, sending him flying back and against the wall. The wooden display fell and landed on him making Ben smile, "Damn, I've ben waiting to do that," he walked forwards and towards Reed and Sue, "Susie, you okay?" she quickly finished her work and released Reed, "Victor ain't that bad, huh? He's just a little larger than life, right?" Ben scoffed, "Maybe next time you'll listen to me before—" the lights suddenly went out, leaving them in darkness.

"Ben!" Sue warned as a figure ran towards him, pushing the both of them out of the window. They fell through the air and into a pool that happened to be on the roof of a building. They crashed through the glass ceiling and into the water, cracking the bottom of it. Ben landed a punch on Victor's shoulder, which caused the floor to cave in. The water fell through the cracks making it spill into the hallways, carrying Ben and Victor with them. The window at the end of the hall broke, allowing the water to fall onto the street below.

Ben and Victor crashed into a dumpster truck. The driver skidded to a stop, onlookers gasping as dents appeared in the side of the truck. The back of the truck gave way and Ben went flying through the air, landing in the windshield of an oncoming car. The women inside screamed as the car swerved around the road. When they finally did stop, Ben stood and looked back to the dumpster truck. The hatch slowly opened to reveal Victor.

The police pooled up and commanded Victor to step out of the vehicle. He, being the ass that he was, didn't listen. Electricity gathered around him and he used his hands to direct it at the police cars, "Take him out!" an officer yelled, the police opened fire on him but their bullets didn't have any affect. They bounced and ricocheted off him. He lifted his hands to block them, turning towards the officers who eyes widened.

"Ladies, I'm going to need your car!" Ben said keeping his eyes trained on Victor.

"The transmission sticks!" one of the women yelled.

"Not going to be a problem," he grunted. He stuck his arm under the front of the car and flipped. The car was sent flying through the air, heading directly at Victor. It forced him back into a bus making it skid across the street.

Ben waited in agonizing silence for any sighs of Victor. The doors opened and Victor stepped out, the hood of his cloak revealing his metal mask. Ben growled and ran forward. Victor kicked up the pole by his feet and slammed it into Ben's chest as he ran up to him. Ben flipped through the air and crashed onto the street. The cement beneath him crumbled and gave way. Victor walked to him, the pole in his hand like a spear as he laughed, "Goodbye Ben," he raised the pole and was about to bring it down when a voice interrupted him.

"I can't let you do that."

"Reed?" he laughed again, "I'll be right with you," he raised the pole above him and tried to bring it down on Ben another person stopped him. A forcefield appeared in between Ben and the end of the pole, he spun to face them, "Hello, Susan," Ben got up and stood with his friends, "You three are pathetic!" he hissed then a fireball was launched at his chest, igniting his clothes. Johnny. He landed next to Reed, the flames disappearing from his body.

"You missed me," he smirked but with a quick glance he realized he was missing someone.

Suddenly a bright sphere hit Victor straight in the forehead making them all flinch, "Hey dumbass! Next time you try to tie me up," the five looked at the figure floated down to the ground, "Make sure the restraints can take the heat," she landed next to Ben with a smirk.

Johnny looked at her with a soft smile before seeing Ben, "Had a little relapse, huh?" he asked, "Welcome back."

"This, is gonna be fun," Victor said, he leaned his head back and raised his arms. Electricity crackled around him, connecting him to all the buildings. He flicked his hand at Johnny sending him flying backwards and then he hit Ben. A trashcan was hit in the process and sent flying towards the running people. Sue used a forcefield to force it away from them.

Johnny was on his feet in a split second, only to see Victor shoot yet another blast of energy at Sue. She raised her arm, a forcefield blocking it form hitting her.

"I can't hold it!" She yelled and Elena felt her feet moving at her skin hardened to diamonds. Johnny's eyes widened as he saw her run in front of Sue and took the blast full force. She let out a painful scream as Reed gripped a mailbox before throwing it at Victor, temporarily distracting him. Reed jumped into the air and formed himself into a tire shape and rolled towards Victor. He them formed a thin sheet, almost like a blanket and covered Victor. He wrapped himself around him, constricting his movement.

"Johnny! Elena! Supernova!" he said looking to the two.

"I thought we agreed that was bad?" Johnny said as Elena backed up.

"Now!" Johnny and Elena ran forward, flames spreading over them before jumping up and flying into the air. Reed reached out to Ben who gripped his hands and pulled him off Victor. Johnny and Elena flew around Victor, the flames becoming higher and higher as the two different colors mixed together, "Sue! Think you can contain it?" Reed asked. His hand in front of his eyes to shield them from the flames. She wrapped a forcefield around the flames. Johnny and Elena flew faster around Victor, the heat increasing around him.

"Flame on, kid," Ben smiled as he saw the two flaming figures race in circles.

A drop of blood spilled from Sue's nose, she could feel her strength leaving her. The forcefield broke seconds later. Johnny and Elena came tumbling out onto the pavement. Johnny was panting while he looked up at Victor, but Elena's diamonds were blending together as much as Victor's skin was melting. Sue fell to her knees while she dropped her arms, exhausted. The flames died down quickly, exposing a melting Victor.

"Is that the best you can do? A little heat?" he whispered. Johnny looked over to Elena, his heart dropping to his stomach as he ran over to her.

"Time for your lesson: Chem 101," Reed said, "What happens when you rapidly cool hot metal?" Ben kicked the top off a fire hydrant, water filling the air as Victor took a step forward, "Ben!" Ben put his foot in the stream of water, aiming it at Reed. Reed used himself to aim the water at Victor.

Steam filled the air. Ben and Reed waited for a minute before Ben closed the hydrant by bending the metal over the top. They waited anxiously for the steam to lift. Johnny picked Elena up into his arms, her eyes closed but he saw her chest rise and fall. Her brows furrowed and Johnny finally got a look at her skin and gasped. No longer millions of tiny diamonds, she was just one smooth form of diamond, no break up just smooth as glass. Her brows furrowed and when she opened them, her diamond skin vanished making Johnny smile in relief.

"Glow?" Johnny softly whispered making her look up at him. She softly smiled before bringing her arm around his neck so he could help her stand.

Reed's eyes narrowed once the steam cleared and saw the now still figure of Victor.

"Whoa," Ben said, his voice soft and under his breath. He then walked over to where Johnny stood with Elena weakly leaning into his side and chest, "You done good, kids. Come on."

Ben looked at his niece and smiled, even if she was leaning against the biggest idiot ever, she was safe now. Johnny helped her walk over to where Ben and Sue were. Elena smiled into his chest as the crowd cheered for them.

"Man, I love this job," Johnny said as he wound his arm tighter around Elena.

"Job, huh?" Ben asked as Johnny looked around and almost basked in the cheers of the audience that formed around them.

"Well, we do have the suits," Reed said and the audience cheered even more as Johnny rose his hand and bowed.

Elena read the sign that hung above the bar on the boat. Thank You Fantastic Five! She smiled before taking a glass of champagne with Alicia and Sue.

"I don't think we need another," Alicia argued, laughing.

"Just one more," Sue urged before joining the laughing. Elena simply smiled at the two before looking over at Johnny. He had just finished being thanked by a couple veterans and officers when a large group of girls swarmed him.

"Oh. Oh! I need names and shots. Bartender!" he said, her eyes saddened that he returned to his ways of womanizing. She glanced down a her arm, now scarred from when he burned her. She was wearing a one shoulder black lace romper. Unfortunately the only sleeve was on her left arm. She was wearing silver heels that matched her diamond stud earrings and diamond necklace. Her white hair was braided in a crown letting the other waves brush against her neck.

Shaking her head at him she walked over Ben, Alicia, Reed and Sue. She weaved her way through the crowd and made her way over to them.

"Look, I've been crunching the numbers on the machines and if I could rework the power—" he didn't get a chance to finish his statement because Ben cut him off.

"Forget about it Egghead. I'm good as is."

"Better than good, baby," Alicia said making them all laugh. He went to clink his metal cup against hers but it shattered the glass, "You just need to work on your touch."

"Mmm, I like the sound of that," he said, wrapping his hand around her waist. Elena watched the two with jealousy before walking out onto the deck, tears catching in her eyes. She didn't know why she was like this, but all what she remembered was the full feeling she had when they were making the fire storm.

Then she heard something that made her whip around with wide eyes, "Sue Storm, will you marry me?" he asked holding up the gasket ring. She slowly turned invisible. Her emotions sometimes affected her powers. She held an invisible hand and Reed slipped the ring on,
Sue, you kinda need to…say something."

"Oh! Yes," she giggled, "Yes," Reed let out the breath he hadn't realized he was holding and smiled as he stood up. He leaned forward to kiss her but stopped when she giggled and became visible again, "That's my nose, genius. These are my lips," she said holding his face and kissing him, wrapping her arms around his neck as he wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Aww. She's kissing him," Ben said form the doorway, his arm wrapped around Alicia's waist. Johnny noticed Elena's disappearance and quickly glanced around, only to find her standing outside, alone with tears in her eyes. Sue and Reed laughed as the crowd cheered them on, "Hey, no more wisecracks about the way I look," Ben said looking at Johnny.

Johnny placed a hand on Ben's shoulder, "Hey, call me Mr. Sensitivity," he said before walking forward, "Okay, wide load coming through! Everybody move! He's huge!" Ben grumbled to himself as he followed Johnny.

"Come here, Mr. Sensitivity," Ben growled as Johnny grabbed Elena's hand.

"Johnny?" she asked but before she could blink, he jumped in the air and flamed on with Elena dragging behind him.

"Show-off!" Ben yelled after them. Johnny flew them high in the air before turning and flying in a different direction. The used their flames to draw the Fantastic Five logo in the air. Elena glanced over at him before slightly smiling, her new family has grown and she trusted them with her life.

Elena and Johnny flew around in the night sky of New York, neither one wanting to go back to the party that Johnny forced them to leave. She stopped when she reached the top of the Baxter Building, this made Johnny furrow his brows.

"What's up?" Johnny asked seeing her no longer flaming but her clothes weren't destroyed. She just looked, defeated, "Glow?"

Her grey eyes looked up at the sky as she slightly grimaced, "I guess somethings don't really change," she whispered.

Johnny furrowed his brows, "What do you mean?"

"Remember how I said that I felt hallow?" she asked glancing over to him and he nodded, "There was a moment, when I clearly remember not feeling that way," tears escaped her cheeks, "And it was with you."

"What?"

She gave a soundless laugh, "Don't you get it?" she asked, "It always comes down to you," he blinked at her, "But you're just a flame colder than that."

Johnny sat down next to her. He finally realized why he seemed her so much, "I thought you hated me," he whispered.

"How could I hate you?" she loudly spoke.

"You said so, yourself."

Elena shook her head, "You're an idiot," she said as her left hand rubbed her arm.

"How am I an idiot? You literally screamed, I hate you at me. There's a clip of it out there somewhere!" Johnny screamed making her slightly flinch.

"I YELL 'I HATE YOU' TO THE PEOPLE THAT I LOVE!" she shouted back covering her mouth when she realized what she said.

"What?"

Elena hugged her head before looking up at him, "Ben has been on the receiving end of an episode like that several times," tears streaked her face, "Because he cares so much and it took only one moment of pain for me to snap at him," her body started shaking, "Johnny, don't you see?"

He looked at her incredibly, "See what?" she gave a sigh before standing up.

"For once in your life, please, just think for a moment of it," she pleaded while taking his face into her hands, "I need you to know," she looked into his blue eyes before jumping down to the balcony and going inside.

Johnny sat there for a couple minutes utterly perplexed. And then he began thinking about every moment he ever had with Elena.

The time on the mountain: Her entire diamond formed hand was shaking as she looked at it.

"Hey," he said taking her hand and as if it were magic, the diamonds vanished with a sparkling dust…. She was the only person, who wasn't Sue, that he was able to comfort without even speaking a word.

Then the bridge: Before any of that could've possible happen, arms pulled her back and out of her diamond form before cradling her gently in the arms…. He felt so scared when she almost went over the bridge.

After the press conference: "Hey," he said placed a hand on her shoulder, making the diamonds vanish. Her nerves were on edge and he was able to stop them.

During his first test: "A part of Elena's powers unlocked while testing yours." His test helped unlock a major part of her abilities.

When she stepped in between him and Ben in a fight: Johnny cooed placing a hand on Elena's shoulder making her diamond form vanish with a puff of sparkling dust. She was defending him against her uncle, instead of letting him beat Johnny to a pulp.

When they fell asleep on the couch together: the white haired 23 year old curled up next to a sleeping Johnny, exhausted from the tests that day. They weren't touching but one could see the comfort the two had next to each other. She was only able to sleep comfortably near him.

When she almost took his head off with an apple: "Johnny!" Elena hissed standing up as her skin changed back to normal… Even after scaring her half to death, she changed out of her form.

Right before they first kissed: He saw she wasn't scared or changed into diamond form and took advantage to that…. She always shifted to diamonds when she was cornered, by anyone, including Ben, but when Johnny did it, she didn't even care.

Then on the couch: "About this morning…" his voice trailed off when he glanced over and saw Elena sound asleep. Her head just barely above his shoulder, "Well, Glow," he smirked seeing at how serene she looked, "That's new." She found herself able to fall asleep faster by just sitting next to him.

When she opened her eyes to him after battling Victor: Her brows furrowed and when she opened them, her diamond skin vanished making Johnny smile in relief… He felt so relieved when she finally opened those pretty grey eyes and smiled at him.

Then his mind flashed to when they were hit by the cloud: Johnny latched onto her arm… He barely knew her and in a moment of pure terror, he reached out and clung to her.

His stomach turned when the moment finally came to mind, when he attacked her: Elena's diamond skin couldn't protect her from Johnny's flame, not when it was intentionally used to harm her. His gut sank when he remembered that day, it hurt him that evening when he saw her scarred arm during the party.

And then finally everything clicked. Elena's mind may have not trusted him, but her body did. It let down all of it's defences for him, every single time, well almost. Johnny looked at his arm, seeing tiny little lines on his right arm from where Elena cut him with her nails when the cloud hit. That's when right then and there Johnny knew, she was only acting this way cause she knew. She knew that her body trusted him more than her own uncle and that scared her, plus the fact that he was constantly surrounded by girls didn't really help. Immediately his mind went back their kiss and focused on what his powers did during it. His body heat rose, but not to the point of boiling, more like a fire in the middle of winter, his own hair came on fire but it never traveled down to his face, Johnny didn't even have that type of control mastered yet and there he was stopping it from reaching Elena's skin. Johnny sighed and looked up to the stars.

"I just need a little help."
