Alicia was finishing tying Ben's tie as Johnny walked into the room. He was trying to see if Alicia would notice if he was there. He didn't even make a sound when Alicia turned to face him, "Hey Johnny," she said as she patted Ben on the shoulder.

Johnny exhaled and slapped his hand on the counter, "Wow. Does that amaze anyone else? How did she know it was me? I didn't say anything!" he ranted.

Alicia moved to pin the white rose to Ben's tux, "Well, to be honest, you kind of steel like ash," this made Ben laugh from under her hand, "Hi, Elena," each person spun to look at the new person in the room. There, in the doorway, stood Elena. She wore the same dress as Alicia. The dark purple lace hung just above her ankles. She held her heels by the straps, leaving her barefoot to walk around the room. Her white hair was loosely curled and braiding out of her face. Her makeup was simple and it matched Alicia and Sue. Her sapphire ring from her parents sat upon her index finger.

Johnny could only stare at how beautiful and graceful she looked. Walking past him, he saw her grey eyes slightly dart over to him.

"Now how did you know she was here?" Johnny whined.

"She smells like a fresh winter morning," Alicia smiled as Elena walked over to her uncle.

"If I didn't know any better, I would think you were getting married today," Ben said taking Elena's hand and spinning her around causing the edges of her dress to swirl around her.

"It's Reed and Sue's big day! I'm so happy for them," she said with a genuine smile on her face.

Alicia finished pinning the rose onto Ben's tux as Alicia smoothed out the fabric around it, "Ow," Ben said with a smile planted firmly on his face. Alicia jumped and gently smacked Ben's shoulder as he started laughing.

"Don't do that," she hissed, "Okay, you're perfect."

"You're perfect," Ben leaned his head down and kissed Alicia gently. Johnny narrowed his eyes as he looked at them, while Elena looked at them with a sad smile on her face before setting her heels down to put them on.

"I'll see you upstairs," Alicia said carefully walking out the room, "Bye, Johnny."

Johnny smiled and slightly waved as she left before turning to Ben, "So, it seems like you and Alicia are doing well. Annoyingly so in fact," Johnny said with words that didn't surprise Elena at all.

"Yeah, I'm a lucky guy," Ben said, his eyes staring where Alicia just left from.

"Yeah, you are," if Elena didn't know any better she thought Johnny was being sentimental, "Question for you though," Elena stood up from where she was leaning against the counter, in between the two, "How do you guys um—" he motioned around with his hands before he clicked his tongue with a sly wink.

"That's none of your business," Ben practically roared as Johnny took a few steps back with his hands raised.

"Alright. I'm just concerned. I'd hate to wake up one morning and find out she was killed in a rock slide," and with that Johnny took off running in the opposite direction of Ben as Elena shifted into her diamond form.

"I'll show you a rock slide!" he yelled but Elena stopped him with her hand on his chest, "Why do you always stop me from beating his ass?"

Elena looked at her uncle, seeing his anger slowly vanishing before changing back into her normal form, "It's in my coding I guess," she shrugged.

Alicia was handed a dark pink bouquet, she heard the clink of glass and knew who it was.

"Johnny, you shouldn't tease him so much," she said, her eyes looking no where near him.

"It was a joke," Johnny replied, his voice monotone.

"I don't know. I think it bothers you to see him really happy and in love," she slightly smirked, "I think you're jealous."

"You think I'm jealous."

"Mm-hmmm," she hummed.

"Have you seen the women I've dated?" he asked, taking a sip of his champagne.

"No," she bluntly said with a small laugh. Johnny gave her a guarded tight-lipped smile, "You can only fool yourself for so long, Torch," Johnny was taken back this and his mind immediately pictured one girl.

He didn't get long to think of Alicia's wise words when Ben suddenly appeared, with Susan clinging to his arm, "Ta da!" his voice boomed within the walls. Susan was blushing under their unwavering stares.

"Hey! It's the bride of stretchy man!" Johnny exclaimed teasingly.

"Don't start," the bride whined, awkwardly shifting her weight from one heel to the other.

Elena and her date, Danny, walked in seconds after, instantly grabbing Johnny's eye. It was the soldier from Hagar's crew. He was wearing his Class A's, looking very clean and sharp. They were walking side by side, Elena oblivious to Johnny's stare because she was engrossed in her own thoughts. Something was wrong, he could tell from the way she constantly moved her ring with her thumb. Danny had his eyes locked on Johnny, clearly annoyed making Johnny tighten his jaw.

"Lenie!" her head shot over to her uncle as she picked up her flowers from the florist, "Come on, we're on!"

Elena glanced over at her uncle with a nod as Danny kissed her temple, his eyes never leaving Johnny's, "Of course!" she fell in line behind Ben and Alicia with Danny at her side, his grip tightening on her skin. She got the feeling she usually felt when her skin was about to change and pushed it away. The doors opened and the violins began to play, Elena remembered to wait for Ben and Alicia to get half way down the aisle before they started. She glanced back in Sue's direction and saw Johnny watching her and Danny with orange tinted eyes. Elena gently placed her hand in the crook of Danny's arm while the kept her flower bouquet poised in front of her, to perfection.

Johnny took in the sight of her sister in her wedding dress, Susan was always his older sister, even if she was wearing a penguin suit Johnny wouldn't have noticed anything different. But today wasn't one of those days. Susan was glowing in her strapless white dress. She was shifting uncomfortably and avoiding her brother's gaze. She was nervous.

Downing the rest of his champagne he set the glass on the table behind him, "You know, you don't look completely ridiculous in that dress," he commented.

She shook him a sardonic look at his words, "Is that obnoxious brother talk for you-kinda-look-nice?"

He stared plained before a true smile curved at his lips, "You look beautiful."

She smiled shyly and uttered a barely audible, "Thank you."

Johnny took slow steps towards her, his smile widening all the while, the sudden happiness he felt left his lips in a chuckle. He stopped in front of her, gathering his sister's slender hands in his. Susan waited with patient solicitude as her little brother gathered the words he wanted to say. He looked down at their interlocked hands for a moment then raised his gaze to her veil and then to her, "Dad would be proud," he said. Susan knew after all these years that mentioning their father was difficult for him.

Her heart melted at the love in his eyes and the smile slipped on easily, "I know," she whispered back blinking back tears before gathering her brother in her arms. He hugged her tightly in a solid affection.

The violins continued to play as Elena and Danny walked gracefully down the pale pink carpet. They parted just before the steps of the stage. Elena moved to stand beside Alicia, across the carpet, Danny stood next to her uncle. He looked shorter in comparison, despite being six foot two.

Her mind drifted to the look Johnny gave her before she walked. What the hell was that—

The violins began to play the wedding tune. Her train of thought was cut off when all attention fell to the doors. The little flower girl plucked flowers out of the basket at each step, and littered them across the floor. The guests giggled and cooed at the adorable sight of the cute girl. Johnny and Susan walked behind her in slow, rehearsed steps. Elena couldn't help but lock eyes with him. He was watching her the entire time he walked next to Sue. Susan strode beside him, modestly beautiful and blushing furiously. Susan passed by her and Alicia with the grace of a swan. Johnny released his hold on his sister and took steps back, as Reed reached out and helped Susan walk on to the steps and to the platform of the stage.

They stood under the awning widely at each other, as the good reverend gripped his bible and began to speak, "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to…"

He was interrupted by the whipping winds of a helicopter that rose up into the air from the side of the building, "Sue and Reed! Congratulations on your wedding!"

The bride and groom exchanged exasperated looks accented by smiles before diverting their attention back to the reverend, "Dearly beloved we are gathered here today to—" Elena's thoughts were going through everything from the Victor attack, her hands slightly shaking as she placed a soft smile on her face.

She was unaware of Johnny's blue eyes focused on her. What is she thinking about so much? He stared practically smitten, watching the adorable way she twitched her eyebrow and crinkled her nose on thought.

Maybe Danny and her got in a fight? Is that why he was glaring at me? Did he pull something on her and she doesn't know how to end it? What isn't she telling me…I have to find out—no I should wait till she tells me.

The reverend was speaking again when a beeping sound suddenly erupted, interrupting the ceremony. Elena blinked out of thought as Ben and Johnny raised a brow and looked at Reed. The groom mentally berated himself as he quickly pulled the palm pilot from his suit jacket, a horrified look appearing on Sue's face.

"I can't believe you brought that to our wedding!"

"I know, but there's good reason," Reed explained as he glanced down at the screen.

Something was coming.

"Could we perhaps hurry this up a bit?" Reed asked anxiously making Elena smack her hand to her head, Johnny frown while Ben grimaced while they all shared the same thought: Reed is an idiot.

Before Sue could scold her future husband, Reed's palm pilot began to licker, the screen going on the fritz and quickly shutting off on it's own. A sudden eerie feeling fell over the crowd as the breeze picked up.

"Elena?" Sue asked feeling the breeze, but the white haired girl shook her head saying she wasn't doing anything. A low humming sound carried through the air, making Elena look up to the sky. Her eyes widened as the helicopter hovering over the wedding ceremony began to lose control, jerking in every direction. The crowd began to panic, people getting up from their seats and running to take cover. Reed quickly took a few steps forward as he looked around the city, all the power shorting out.

"It's too late."

The helicopter began to zoom towards the building as screams filled the air. Having no control, the pilots to panic as they hit the building, skidding against the ground. Elena was quick to try to assist the copter but it was a struggle. Reed noticed a pair of adults standing in shock as the helicopter, even with Elena's resistance, fell. He stretched his arms out and quickly pulled them away from the wreckage, Sue then ran up and placed a shield up in order to keep the copter from hurting anyone else.

"Ben!" Alicia cried out as the tail of the copter moved towards her, Ben quickly rushed forward and held the tail-end of the copter before breaking it off. Elena dropped her wind before looking up at the sky and as she did her eyes widened as a shining blur appeared in the sky, flying over head. Without even thinking she shifted into diamond form and rushed to the edge of the roof, throwing out her diamonds to grasp the blur. Feeling it lock she stumbled back a bit before Reed saw Elena's efforts.

Reed looked to Johnny with a a knowing look, "Johnny."

"But…this is dolce…" Reed rolled his eyes as he watched the blonde run his hands down his tux.

"Johnny!" Elena cried out in pain as she struggled to hold the blur in one place, it was out of her sight and it made it all the more difficult. She had both arms out as she struggled to keep her grip. She glanced over at him before grimacing in frustration. Johnny nodded before he sprint towards the edge and dived through the air.

"FLAME ON!" so long, Dolce.

Looking around, the ceremony had been completely ruined. The chairs had been torn apart and the aisle was blown away. The flowers withered away and were knocked messily to the ground all while Sue sat in the steps with tears streaming down her face.

Danny was helping people get out of the terrace when he looked at Elena. Her form in its glittering diamond state, her face pulling in concentration and then she was suddenly lifted in the air, not by her doing. It was like someone was pulling a string through her chest and only pulled that forward before suddenly everything slowed. Elena's mind linked with the blur's and an echo ripped through the air and towards her. It hit her with full force and knocked her back, all the way to the railing making her scream in pain.

"Elena!" Danny yelled running over and catching Reed's attention. She was out of her diamond state from the blast, she was curled up on her left side, clutching her head.

"Elena! Elena," Reed said turning her over before gasping. Her left temple had been split open and blood flowed freely from her wound.

"Jo—hn—ny," she breathed before collapsing unconscious.

"Help me get her to the lab!"

Johnny definitely had a bone to pick with whoever or whatever this thing was. Flying after this stranger who had managed to break free from Elena's diamond hold. He shook his head as he trailed behind a little. His eyes widened as he watched the strange silver being fly right through the building, not breaking a single window or brick. Scoffing, he flew around the skyscraper and waited for the being to emerge from the inside. His eyes widened as he watched it appear through the wall, leaving a ripple effect, almost like he was emerging from water.

"That is cool," gasping, Johnny quickly moved aside as the silver man flew right past him, leaving him in shock for a moment. Without hesitation Johnny flew after him. The chase continued for a while, the two flying out of New York and to D.C. Johnny's blood rushed through his veins and his adrenaline was pumping as he flew faster and faster. They flew over the city before the Human Torch shook his head.

"Time to end this!" having prepared to attack, Johnny didn't expect the man-like creature to suddenly turn and grab him by the neck. He gasped while he chocked, giving his target a sheepish smile, "Can we talk?" he cringed as he felt the hand squeeze tighter as they flew into the air, only going up. The Johnny flew past the clouds as the silver creature held him tightly. Reaching the out layer of the Earth, Johnny felt his lungs burn, his flames blowing out as a coldness crept over him in a wave, "Ok…you…win.." and with that, Johnny was released and fell back through Earth's atmosphere.

The intruder stared after the young man as he watched silently. His gaze hard, but not empty. He watched for a second longer before he turned around and stared out at the stars. One shines the brightest out of them all, catching the creatures attention. His gaze hardened as a chill went through his cold body before he knelt on the board he used to travel, "Your herald summons you," his low voice echoed in the emptiness of space, "Another world awaits," he said as he bowed and let his head hang low, "Let it be done, quickly."

"He looked like a man, but he was completely covered in silver," Johnny had returned after his unsuccessful chase after what ever caused the anomalies, and though he had return unscathed, there was something wrong. He wasn't quite himself. His body tingled and his head was spinning. His heart continued to race and there was an unsetting feeling in his gut that he couldn't quite shake. And although he put on a brave face, his teammates knew there was something off about him, "He was flying the…this surfboard type thing. I know it sounds crazy, but I know what I saw," he stated as he gazed up at his friends, General Hagar was now at the scene.

"So, did you follow the shiny man to lollipop land and through rainbow junction?" Ben teased as Johnny shot him a cold stare.

"I know what I saw."

"It's alright, Johnny," Reed assured as he gave the younger man a nod.

Everyone sat inside the lab, Reed staring at the radar that was melted and destroyed, a silver ooze remaining. Ben stood by himself while Susan sat beside her brother, handing him a glass of water. He nodded thanks to his older sister as he took a drink from the glass, though he still couldn't ignore the nagging feeling in his gut, "Whatever this thing's physical appearance is, it has the ability to convert matter and energy."

"So then, it caused the anomalies," Hagar pointed out as Reed nodded, though there was an unsure look on his face.

"It seems to radiate cosmic energy when it exerts itself, randomly effecting matter," Reed explained as everyone listened carefully, "Evidently, this entity this…Silver Surfer," Johnny looked up with a grateful stare as Reed gave him a ghost of a smile before looking back at the general, "It didn't want to be detected…it destroyed the sensor."

"Not only the sensor," Danny said going through Elena's computer, "It destroyed Elena's firewalls and tracking systems to find anything on it."

"It…It knew it was being monitored?" Sue asked incredulously as Reed nodded.

"And it traced it back here," turning to Hagar, the two nodded to each other, for once not loathing the other's presence, "We're dealing with something highly resourceful."

Having heard enough, Johnny winced as he stood to his feet, the strange sensation in his body still bothering him. Sue stared up at her brother with concern evident on her face.

"Are you sure you're okay?" she inquired worriedly as Johnny nodded his head.

"Yeah, I just have to walk this off," he stated before walking off, everyone staring after him.

"We have to destroy this thing before it attacks again," Hagar said as Reed nodded is head, looking at Ben and Sue. The two nodded in return, understanding the severity of the situation before the general caught their attention once more, "Richards, find me another way of tracking it," without waiting for a reply, the General began to walk away, his captain following right behind him. Reed sighed as he rubbed the back of his head, Sue standing to her feet as she gave her fiancee a stern stare before following the general out to politely say goodbye. The scientist shook his head before he glanced at Ben, the stone man giving his friend a sympathetic stare before walking off to give the couple a bit of alone time.

He needed to check on Elena.

Ben looked at his niece who laid on the couch with a gauze patched over her head, trying to stop the bleed while Reed had put some sort of brain reader on her to analyze the data. Ever since she was brought in, she was in diamond form, Sue had changed her out of the bridesmaid dress and into a tank top with some jeans, but Ben couldn't remember the last time he saw her in that form for so long, "Hang in there, Lenie."

Sue was walking through the hall when she heard a scream and Johnny fell past, his flames flickering madly. The woman sprinted as quickly as she could out of the building, shoving the doors open and ran outside, Johnny on the ground and groaning.

"Johnny?" Sue asked quickly approaching the young man's side as he panted, leaning against a light post in order to keep his balance. He frowned to himself as he shook his head, glancing up at the sky. He still couldn't gain back his control, "What was that, Johnny?"

"I'm feeling really strange, ever since my run-in with the surfer," Johnny muttered as he shook his head, looking up at his sister. Sue tried and gave him a reassuring smile.

"Maybe we should get you—" as Susan reached up and placed the back of her hand against Johnny's forehead, her eyes widened as a sudden jolt coursed through her body. Johnny gasped as a similar sensation ran through him, causing him to take a step back from his sister's touch. Suddenly Sue's body slowly began to be engulfed by flames, "Johnny! Why'd you do that?" Sue snapped as she began to try and pat the flames off of her body. A sudden surge of energy rushed through her veins as her entire body morphed into fire. A sudden surge of energy rushed through her veins as her entire body morphed into fire. She began to scream out of shock and fear as she tried to put the flames out, this overwhelming heat consuming her.

"I didn't do anything!" Johnny defended before gapping at Sue as her body began to float, having no control over herself, "Sue! You have to calm down!" he grimaced as he saw her clothes burn way and her body now flipped through the air.

"How am I supposed to calm down?!" she shrieked,

"Sue! Stop, drop and roll!" Johnny yelled.

"Do something!" she yelled.

"Flame on!" instead of bursting into flames as he always did, he suddenly disappeared making Johnny blink as he realized he hadn't moved a single inch, "What-" he winced as a stranger bumped into his shoulder another suddenly pushing him to the ground as they walked by, "Watch it-ow!" Johnny yelped out in pain as someone tripped over him and fell.

Meanwhile, Reed has been feeling a bit troubled as he stared down at the coordinates of each of the craters created by the Silver Surfer. He stopped for a moment as he frowned, remembering the defeated look on Sue's face. A pool of guilt began to form inside of him as he walked through the living room to check on Elena, before vaguely hearing a familiar voice screaming his name. He stopped for a second before he slowly back-tracked, his eyes immediately widening as he stared at Sue through the window.

"Sue!" he yelled as he rushed up to the glass, her entire body covered in flames, "What happen!?"

"I'm on fire!" she screeched as Reed stared with a confused and amazed stare.

"You're on fire!"

"YOU THINK?!" Sue screamed angrily as she jerked upward. Reed stuttered before before he quickly turned and began to run out, dropping his palm pilot as he did so. Sue began to scream again as she started falling, still aflame. Hovering over the concrete once more, Sue flailed about, people mistaking her for Johnny himself.

"It's the Human Torch!"

"I'm not Johnny!" she screamed.

"Sue!" Reed screamed running outside, before he looked up at Sue with a flabbergasted emotion, "How did this happen?"

"I touched Johnny, and now this!" Sue snapped as Reed looked to for him.

"Where's Johnny?" Reed asked.

"Here!" he spoke up next to Reed.

"Johnny! Try it again!" Reed instructed as said boy nodded to himself before reaching up and grabbing a hold of his sister's wrist. Everyone watched with shock, the same surge of energy shooting through Sue and Johnny before he reappeared and the flames around Sue were doused out. She hit the ground with a thud as she winced, whispers and murmurs filling the air.

"Sue!" Reed quickly approached the woman's side as she groaned and looked around, cameras flashing, "Your clothes," eyes wide, Susan looked up before she forced herself to turn invisible.

"Why is it always me?"

"Where's Elena?" Johnny asked as Reed took his blood, careful not to physically touch Johnny.

"She was harmed during the wedding attack," Reed stated, "Something broke her diamond form," he explained.

"What?" Johnny gasped, "How is she?"

Reed shook his head before looking at his charts, "Her brain lengths are…off," Reed sighed, "She should wake up soon."

"Is she injured?" Reed shot Johnny a look, confused by his extreme worry for Elena.

"She has a gash on her head."

"Reed!" Ben's voice filled the air before he came running into the lab, carrying Elena and the machine she was hooked up to.

"Ben? What are you doing?" as he set her on the table, knocking off everything on it.

"Take off the bandage," Ben insisted. Reed shot his friend a look before doing so and groaning when blood tricked down her face, "She isn't healing!"

"I can see that Ben," Reed sighed.

"You should wake her up," Johnny stated, his blue eyes on Elena's diamond form. The two shot him a look, "What? If she's awake she can focus the diamond on her cut. When she's like this, it only protects the part of her that's not hurt," he remembered that clearly from when he burned her.

"And how do you suggest doing that?" Reed questioned, "Ben RAN into here carrying her and she's still asleep."

Ben rapidly shook her form while screaming her name at her. Reed did the same.

Johnny stared at her for a moment before walking to her side, not touching her, "GLOW!" he suddenly screamed and her body shot up with a scream in her throat, "Easy! Easy! You're okay!"

"Johnny?" she breathed out before clutching her head in pain, her diamond skin vanishing as she looked at him. She bit back her scream while she clutched the edge of the table and her gash.

"Glow, Glow," Johnny said gaining her attention again, "I need you to cover your gash with diamonds, can you do that?" she meekly nodded before forcing her diamond skin to cover the gash all while she hissed.

"Elena?" Reed asked cupping her face and flashing a light into her eyes.

"Stop," she groaned pushing his hand away and reaching to pull the wires off her head.

"Don't! I need to get a clear reading and a blood sample," Reed said making her look at him with a scowl.

"What happened?" Ben and Johnny asked.

Elena stared blankly while Reed pricked her skin with a needle, "When I gripped that thing's form, I was able to connect to it. Then it seemed to….punch my mind out of it's and it felt like someone was literally breaking my skin open."

"Because he did," Reed said pulling the needle out and taping the wound with a cotton ball.

"What?" Elena and Johnny asked.

"Daniel saw it himself, said that when the force hit you, your head split open, then you fell."

Elena's brows furrowed as she thought back to it.

"Wait," Elena said looking towards Johnny with worried eyes, "Why's Johnny here?"

The Fantastic Five sat in the lab, Mr. Fantastic was staring down at the data he had collected form Johnny. Sue, now fully dressed in a red blouse and black skirt, stared intently at her future husband as he stared down at Johnny's molecules with an amazed stare.

"All of Sue's results are normal, but Johnny's…" Reed trailed off, still rather intrigued by what he was looking at. Elena, learning that she shouldn't touch Johnny, sat close to him as he closed his eyes and sighed.

"Johnny's are what?" Reed looked up as he tried to hide his rather excited and interested smile from the young man.

"Your encounter with the surfer has effected your molecules. They're in a constant state of flux," he began to explain as Johnny frowned and crossed his arms over his chest/ He waited for Reed to continue, but the man's fascination took over, Johnny rolled his eyes before he forced a smile across his lips.

"Is that bad?"

"Well, it did cause you to temporarily switch powers with Sue," Reed pointed out as he began to type some numbers into his computer, "Ideally, I would like to run some more tests—" Ben, smirking to himself as he sipped on a slurp he had bought before the debacle with the Storm siblings, took a few steps towards Johnny as he reached his stony hand towards him.

"I volunteer!"

"No, no, no!" Everyone quickly gathered around the two, Johnny scooting far back against eh counter as he reeled himself away from Ben's hand while Elena stepped forward in diamond form. Her gash now a changing the clear diamond to red.

"Ben!" Johnny snapped as the man rolled his eyes and took on step back, "This is serious!"

"I just wanted to give him a hug," Elena looked absolutely disappointed in her uncle as she glanced over to Johnny. Elena wanted to lean into his side reassuringly but remembered she couldn't. She gave him a small smile making the young man sigh and shake his head.

"We don't know the extent of his condition yet!"

"It could be progressive, it could be degenerative—"

"It could be fun!" Ben added before he quickly reached past Elena and placed his hand on Johnny's shoulder. A strange sensation shot through the two as Elena stepped back with eyes wide. Ben feeling an overwhelming heat swallow him for only a second. He quickly stumbled back s he began to pat way the flames, his skin suddenly soft and white. Everyone stared at Ben with wide eyes as he blinked several times before laughing and grinning.

"It's me! I'm me again!" Elena looked at her uncle with wide eyes and disbelief.

"Oh my god," she breath out then she remembered something, "If Ben is…then Johnny must be…" the four looked back at the Human Torch, the man now bulky and orange, his skin was crackled and hard, and his shirt was officially stretched out.

"What…" quickly turning, Johnny grabbed the first reflective object he could find before he stared at himself. He nearly screamed at his own reflection as he stared a moment longer at himself, "Oh my GOD!" Looking up at Ben, the man smirked as his fingers, a small flame appearing at the tip of his index finger. Elena held her diamond covered hands to her diamond face, looking at the two with concern. She didn't know if Ben's flame worked differently than Johnny's did or not. Sue and Reed merely stared out of shock and a small amount of entertainment as Ben tried to control his laughter.

Reed stepped in front of Johnny, giving him a reassuring stare, "I'm going to fix this. I -" he was cut off by fireball hitting Johnny in the side of his face, causing Reed to stumble back and cover his own back for a moment before Ben grinned while Elena stood in front of Johnny. She was so tired of this shit.

"Ben stop that!" Sue snapped as the now normal Ben nodded in approval.

"I can see why you like that so much," he said throwing another one, but Elena blocked it with her hands. She didn't feeling anything. Having had enough, a determined gleam shined in Johnny's blue eyes as he quickly stomped up to Ben, said man shaking his head.

"Wait!" Elena quickly jumped out of the way as they watched the two switch back to the way things originally had been. Ben frowned as he stared down at him, back to his stony exterior. He pouted like a child as he huffed, "Oh, crap."

"So now what am I supposed to do?" Johnny snapped helplessly as everyone calmed down.

"For now, just try and keep your distance from us," he stated, a frustrated and hurt look twisted on Johnny's face before he stomped off. The four stared after him before they exchanged looks, Ben finally looking back at Johnny.

"You and me are gonna be spending a lot of time together, buddy!"

Elena finally snapped, "Can you not?" her grey eyes narrowing as they all heard her diamond skin hardening, it only did that with enemies, "You're suppose to be the adult," she glared at Ben before jogging after Johnny, her skin changing to normal, "Johnny, wait!"

AN: WOW! Elena is now VERY defensive of Johnny! Damn…..why do you think that?

Please leave a review and NO FLAMES!
