1Disclaimer: I don't own anything, just my stuff
You lovely loyal fans out there, just let me know if you want me to put them starting the ship up and all that or just to leave it. I can't guaranty that I'll do it but I'll try. Sorry I took so long, writers block.
Jessica: Nice
AA: Shut it!
Johnny and Brooklyn walked into the space training center. Johnny was going to teach Brooklyn how to fly.
"Brook, you look so white. Why?" Johnny laughed.
Brooklyn didn't say anything. She just kept walking.
"Brooky," Johnny grabbed her. "what's wrong?"
"I don't wanna do something wrong."
Johnny laughed before he spoke. "Brooky I wasn't perfect when I started."
Brooklyn just looked at him.
"Astonishing I know." Johnny smirked. "Come on." Johnny took Brooklyn's hand.
(Days later)
"You ready Brooky?" Johnny asked.
She shook her head.
"Look Brook, what's the worst that could happen?" Johnny asked.
"We could die." Brooklyn said matter of factly.
"Brooky, I'm flying remember."
Ben walked past. "That's suppose to make you feel better." he said.
Johnny glared at Ben, and than turn back to Brooklyn. "Brooklyn you will not die up there."
Brooklyn looked at the ground.
Johnny made her look at him. "Know why?"
Brooklyn shook her head.
Johnny brought his face close to Brooklyn's, so close that his lips brushed hers. "Because I won't let you. I love you Brooky." Johnny kissed her. "Smoke'n."
Brooklyn grinned.
"Now," Johnny turned Brooklyn around. "Go get ready." he smacked her butt.
"Don't." Brooklyn said ticked as she walked to the girls locker room.
(5 minuets later)
Brooklyn was standing in the main part of the locker room. Suddenly someone wrapped their arms around her from behind.
"You look great in this." they said in her ear.
Brooklyn sighed, Johnny turned her around.
"Brooklyn it's gonna be ok." Johnny bent down so he was eye level with Brooklyn, his had worry on his face. "Ok? You don't have to do this if you don't want to, you know."
"I know." Brooklyn grinned. "How many girls get to go in to space with the man they love?"
"Besides Sue and you, none." Johnny kissed Brooklyn.
"Would you two stop it? Every where we go it seems you guys are kissing." Ben shook his head.
"Why is that bad?" Brooklyn asked puzzled.
Ben sighed, he could hardly be mad at Brooklyn. It took a lot for her to make him ticked at her. And he couldn't be mad if she didn't understand. "It's not, Brooklyn. It's nice that you guys love each other and show it. But do you have to do it in the open all the time?"
Johnny grinned and raised his eyebrows up and down.
Ben looked at him and realized the idea he'd just given Johnny. "Never mind, forget I ever said anything." he looked at Johnny as he said that.
(Days later)
Brooklyn woke and it took a second to remember where she was. As she got out of bed and stumbled to the door. She was walking down the hall, every now and than forgetting where she was. She decided to look at the little maps on the walls when she passed the same fire extinguisher twice.
"Gosh Brooky, what took you so long? We're done with breakfast." Johnny grinned.
Brooklyn just looked at him, and Johnny wasn't even sure she was awake.
"Brooky." Johnny tugged on her hand.
She blinked. "Mmmmm?"
"Did you hear what I said?"
She nodded.
"He's kidding." Ben said.
(Later)
Brooklyn stood looking out the windows. She was admiring the beauty of the earth. She smirked when she thought about her parents. Bet they never thought she'd go this far. They had told her once to shoot for the stars. 'Guess they didn't think I'd be with the stars.'
Johnny walked into the observation room to find Brooklyn standing looking out the windows. She seemed to be thinking about something. Johnny walked up next to her. He looked at her grinning.
She looked at him grinning also. " You it's funny, even though my parents weren't the worlds best parents. They did tell me one thing that came true." Brooklyn looked out the window again. "Shoot for the stars."
"Well here you are." Johnny shrugged.
"Yeah and you know the best part?"
Johnny shook his head.
"Being here with you." Brooklyn smiled at Johnny.
"Ooo that deserves a kiss." Johnny wrapped his arms around Brooklyn's waist and pulled her to him. He kissed her.
"Smoke'n." they said together and laughed.
"Reed has a job for you." Johnny rested his forehead against Brooklyn's and rubbed his nose against hers.
"Really?"
"Yeah he said he didn't want you to feel unwanted or something like that."
Brooklyn laughed.
"And I don't know what's so funny." Johnny stuck his lower lip out.
Brooklyn cocked her head. "Everything." she pulled away from Johnny and started to walk out of the room. "Especially with you."
Johnny smiled widely, he followed Brooklyn out of the room.
"Hey Reed," Brooklyn said walking in to the control room. "What did you want to give me as a job?"
"Oh." Reed looked up from what he was doing. "I want you to monitor outside the ship." Reed laughed when he saw how white Brooklyn's face got. "No," he shook his head. "You'll be inside the ship."
"Oh, than that's ok than." Brooklyn looked relieved.
"I'll show you." Reed walked out of the room Brooklyn following.
(Days later)
"We've got trouble." Brooklyn said to herself. On screen there were little lights blinking and they were coming closer and closer to the ship. Brooklyn typed something in to the ships computer. "Oh crud." she turned and tore through the ship shouting Reed's name.
"Whoa Brooklyn what's the rush?" Ben asked her when she almost ran right in to him.
"Where's...Reed." Brooklyn asked between breaths.
"I don't know. Is there something I can help you with.?"
"If you find him ask him to call over the intercom." Brooklyn took off running again.
Few minuets later she ran in to Johnny. "Where's Reed?"
"Out side with Sue."
"Not good." Brooklyn was about to run again when Johnny grabbed her arm.
"What's wrong?"
"There's meteorites heading straight for this ship." Brooklyn was tugging on her arm.
"How far away?" Johnny asked as he Brooklyn ran to the control room where the door was that lead outside.
"I can't tell."
"Reed, Sue." Johnny said in to their headsets. "You gotta come back inside."
"Why?"
"Johnny what's wrong?"
Johnny looked at Brooklyn, she held up one finger as she tried to catch her breath. She was bent over with her hands on her thighs, Johnny wondered if she was gonna be ok. Sure she was in great shape, but she wasn't use to the air pressure in space. Not that he was either, but maybe having supper powers helped.
"Reed you have to come inside." Brooklyn told them.
"You mind telling us why?"
"There's meteors heading straight for this ship."
There was dead silence. Ok so maybe that's what would be happing if the mentors hit.
"We're coming."
Suddenly it hit Brooklyn, they weren't gonna make. Not her, Ben and Johnny. Reed and Sue. Although Johnny, Ben and her probably wouldn't make it either. She started typing something.
"Brooklyn?" Johnny asked, the look on her face was getting kinda white.
"They won't make it." she said quietly. Suddenly she straighten. "Unless, I..." she turned and ran out of the room.
"Brooky." Johnny followed. "What are you doing?"
"That door will either get jammed or it might bend." Brooklyn explained as she pushed the button to open a door. Johnny and her walked in.
"So what do you plan on doing about it?"
"Reed and I came up with something. It makes like a force field around something."
"So how does that help the situation?"
"Out side the doors and windows is some kinda of device that creates a temporary force field. I don't know to much about it, Reed build it."
"How do you know what it looks like than?"
"Because," Brooklyn crouched down in front of some boxes on the wall. "I designed it." she opened one. Inside were a bunch of wires and things. There was a little lever on the right side. "Reed," she into her mic. "How are you from the door?"
"3 ft."
"Ok I'm gonna turn the field on. It should reach past you. Ok?"
"Yeah."
Brooklyn flipped the lever up. Little lights turned on and if you listened real close you could hear a humming sound. "There that should work." Brooklyn stood. "You guys in yet?"
"No, but we're close."
"Ok." Brooklyn and Johnny left the room and were walking back to the control room when Ben's voice came over their head sets.
"Uh..guys you're gonna wanna hurry it up out there."
"We're coming Ben. What's wrong?" Sue asked confused.
"Those meteorites, Brooklyn told you about. They're coming faster and faster towards the ship.
Johnny and Brooklyn looked at each other than raced down the hall. They were almost there when the ship was hit. Brooklyn was thrown against Johnny.
"Sorry, you ok?" she asked standing and sticking her hand out to him.
"Yeah." Johnny said taking her hand.
The two continued to run down the hall.
"Ben." Brooklyn said coming over to him. "What's it look like for the chances of Sue and Reed getting in?"
"Pretty slim" Ben said than another meteorite hit the ship.
'And this is why I was worried about going to space.' Brooklyn thought grimly. She looked at a screen. "Ok you two you've about 15 minutes tops...no scratch that. 5 minutes tops to get in here. Before the main part of the shower hits us."
"Ok." Reed said.
"Can we fly out of the shower?"
Brooklyn looked up from the screen at Johnny.
"Can we fly out of the shower?" he asked again.
Brooklyn thought. "We might, I mean Reed and Sue are hooked up to the ship, so we won't be leaving them behind. Yeah I think we could." Brooklyn fell to the floor as the ship was hit again. 'I hate rocks.' she stood brushing herself off.
"Ben I need you stay here and make sure Reed and Sue get in. Brooklyn come on, we gotta see if we can fly this out of here."
Brooklyn looked at Ben and than Johnny and than Ben.
Ben normally wouldn't take orders from Johnny, but under these circumstances he would. Ben saw that Brooklyn didn't wanna fly. "Go a head, Brooklyn I got this covered. You can fly this bad boy out of here." Ben smiled.
Brooklyn looked a little more relieved, she turned and followed Johnny to the cockpit.
" 'Member what I taught you?"
"Hope so." Brooklyn sighed buckling.
"Hey you got me to back you up." Johnny grinned from his seat.
(2 minutes later)
"What's wrong?" Brooklyn asked when she noticed Johnny looked frustrated.
"The ships not going as fast as it should. That's what's wrong." Johnny said pushing buttons.
"The force fields draw power from the ship."
Johnny cocked an eye brow.
"They use the ships power. Therefore making the ship fly slower."
"Great."
"There's a kill switch for all of the force fields." Brooklyn started to unbuckle.
"Brooky, you can't how am I suppose to fly this?" Johnny asked grinning and pretending to look sacred.
Brooklyn stood grinning at Johnny. "Are you kidding me? You're Johnny Storm space pilot, The Human Torch, one of my best friends, and my boyfriend. What else do you need to know?" she gave him a quick kiss and ran out of the cockpit.
'I just gotta get to the kill switch and turn the force fields off. Than we can get out here.' Brooklyn though as she quickly walked down the hall. "Whoa." Brooklyn steadied herself when she ship suddenly shifted to the left. After getting her balance, Brooklyn took off running to the field room. Reed had called it the Field Room so it would easy to remember. When Brooklyn got to the Field Room she pressed the door button hard. As soon as the doors swished opened Brooklyn made her way to the switch. She pulled it, nothing happened. It felt kinda lose. Brooklyn walked over to the boxes, if she pulled the switch than it should have turned all the boxes off. Brooklyn couldn't hear if the boxes were humming or not. The switched had seemed lose, maybe it wasn't connected. Brooklyn knelt next to one of the lower boxes. Suddenly the ship lurched and something slammed on her head. Brooklyn blinked, that had hurt. Before Brooklyn could fully recover something hit her on the ahead again. Brooklyn realized what it was. The control boxes for the force fields. They weren't cheap plastic or expensive either. They were metal. The ship lurched again and Brooklyn's head cracked against the wall. She kept pushing the darkness that was clouding her vison. If someone didn't shut off the force field than they might not make it out.
It had been way to long since Brooklyn left. Johnny was about to go look for Brooklyn when Reed, Sue and Ben ran up.
"We gotta get out of here." Sue said.
"Brooklyn." Johnny said.
They looked at him.
"Brooklyn's not back from shutting the force fields off."
The 3 looked at Johnny and knew from the look on his that he was going to save her if they waited for him or not.
"We'll wait." Reed nodded.
Johnny just gave a quick nod and left. "BROOKLYN !!" Johnny shouted. He ran as fast he could, he had to get to Brooklyn before the ship flew in to pieces. Before...Johnny shook his head. He had almost lost her once he wasn't about lose her again. Johnny tried the door button, it didn't work. "BROOKYLN !!" he shouted again. There was no answer. Johnny felt the ship lurch and heard a strange creaking noise. It sound like something starting to break apart. Johnny he had to hurry. "Flame on!!" Johnny put his hands in the cracks of the doors, making them wider as he melted through. He pulled as hard as he could at them same time melting the doors. He pulled them apart. "Brooklyn !!!" he called as he stepped over the debris. There was no answer. "BROOKLYN!!!!" something caught Johnny's eye. Under a bunch of the force field boxes, was Brooklyn, unconscious. Johnny pulled the boxes off her, chucking them behind him. Johnny gently picked Brooklyn up and raced out.
"She ok?" Ben asked when ran up to where him, Sue, and Reed where.
Johnny looked at Brooklyn. "I think so." he said quietly.
"Alright let's get out of here before anything happens." Reed suggested. Just as Reed said that the ships suddenly began breaking apart. The hall way where the 5 were suddenly broke apart. Ben and Reed were sucked one way, Sue another and Johnny and Brooklyn another. As soon as the hall had broken apart Johnny had flamed on. Her knew that he probably wouldn't be able to stay like that for more the a couple of maybe seconds. Johnny was right in a matter of 12 seconds he flamed off.
(An: hahah flame off, thanks funny, ok I see the look you all are giving me sorry back to the story end)
"Johnny."
Johnny looked to see Sue coming towards them in a force field.
"Is Brooklyn ok?" Sue asked concerned.
"I'm not sure, I hope."
When they got back the Johnny, Reed, Sue and Ben passed out.
Brooklyn felt a little weird as she woke up. She slowly opened her eyes. When she opened them she was staring in to gorgeous blue ones that held total concern.
"Hey, how do you feel?"
Brooklyn blinked 2 before she spoke. "Fine I guess. Why?"
"You don't remember anything?"
"The last thing I remember is being knocked out while I was trying to shut the force fields off."
"Ok."
"So why are you playing 20 questions?" Brooklyn asked sitting up with the assistance of Johnny.
"Well the ship broke apart and we came back in Sue's force field."
"How are they?"
"Ok as far as I know"
Brooklyn swung her legs off the and started to sit up. She fell back down on the bed.
"Brooky?" Johnny asked concerned.
"I'm ok." Brooklyn sat back up grinning. "Sorry."
"Just be careful." Johnny watched her carefully as Brooklyn stood again.
"Aren't I always?" Brooklyn asked than swayed.
"No you're not." Johnny picked Brooklyn up and walked out of the room.
"Wh..."
"Reed's lab."
"We're home?"
"No we're in the zoo, of course we're home you idiot."
"Touchy, touchy, touchy." Brooklyn shook her head.
(Reed's Lab)
"Hey Brooklyn glad your up." Sue smiled when Johnny brought her in.
"Glad someone is." Brooklyn said grimly as Johnny set her down in a chair.
"Brooky Reed want to run some tests. To make sure you're ok."
"Why?"
"Because in space not only were you unconscious but you were where without oxygen for 6 seconds after the ship broke."
"Why was I not without air for longer when the ship broke."
Ben grinned, Brooklyn didn't know if she should like it or not. "Because your boyfriend here flamed on and saved you." Ben nodded at Johnny.
"Really?" Brooklyn was touched.
Johnny blushed and looked bashful. "It was nothing." he mumbled.
"You saved my life. Torch that's something. Thank you."
Johnny blushed even more.
"Ok I hate to break this up but the sooner we started the sooner we get done." Reed said.
"What kind of tests?" Brooklyn asked warily.
"Blood, heart, head, and to see if anything happened to in space. Like you got something."
"Fine," Brooklyn sighed. "What's first."
"Blood."
"Why?"
Reed grinned. "Oh you'll see." he walked.
"Arm."
Brooklyn looked to her left to see Johnny.
"Arm."
"Do I even want to..."
"No you don't. Arm please."
Brooklyn held out her arm. Than watched as Johnny pulled the cover off of a syringe. Than hook a small tube up to the back of the syringe. She looked at the syringe and than at Johnny.
"It helps if you don't look." Johnny wiped...(An: ok kill me, but I just wanna let you know I don't what that place is called where elbow bends. You know where they get blood from. That sounded so lame. So I'm just gonna put what I have. End) Brooklyn's arm with an alcohol wipe.
"Johnny,"
"Hmm?" Johnny inserted the syringe in to Brooklyn's arm.
"Where did you learn to do this?"
"Classes. When I was training to be a pilot."
"They had you take blood?"
"Not exactly. But I had to give some one a shot that required..."
"Ok I get the picture."
"There all done."
Brooklyn eyed Johnny suspiciously.
"Brooklyn put these on." Sue handed Brooklyn little round paper looking things.
"What are these?"
"EKG."
"Don't you need wires?"
"It's wireless." Reed explained.
"Oh." Brooklyn looked at things in her hand and than at Sue and than back to her hand.
"I'll help you." Sue walked over to Brooklyn.
"Ready?" Reed asked once they were on.
"Yes."
"Look." Johnny pointed like a little kid.
Brooklyn looked at what Johnny was pointing. "What?" Brooklyn didn't understand what Johnny was doing.
"It makes lines. Look."
Brooklyn rolled her eyes and shook her head.
"Look." Johnny insisted.
"I'm looking."
The next test Brooklyn wasn't to suer about.
"You want me to do what?"
"Put this on your head and it'll record your brain waves."
Brooklyn sat staring blankly.
"How does she put it on?" Johnny cocked an eyebrow.
"Want me to put it on you?" Reed asked.
Brooklyn nodded, not suer about this whole thing.
"There." Reed walked back over to a computer when he was done.
"What's she suppose to do?" Ben wondered.
"Just sit there."
Ben looked at Brooklyn and shrugged. "Seems simple enough."
20 minutes later the tests were done and Reed was explain why Brooklyn wasn't either dead or seriously brain damaged. And it still wasn't making any sense to Brooklyn or Johnny. All Brooklyn knew was that it hurt. "In space everything floats, no oxygen. The boxes didn't really weigh normal. Like they would here. And because the gravity device was broken, the boxes didn't fall as fast or hit as hard as they might have."
"Glad you think so." Brooklyn rubbed the top of her head.
"So is she ok, though?" Johnny wondered.
"Do you feel ok?" Reed asked Brooklyn.
Johnny looked at Brooklyn to Reed back to Brooklyn.
She shrugged. "Yeah I guess so. Other than being freaked out that Johnny knows how to take blood. Yeah I'm fine."
Johnny beamed. "Ok let's go." he picked Brooklyn up off the table.
"Where?" Brooklyn questioned as Johnny set her down.
"Out." he grabbed her hand.
(Later)
"So how about we plan a trip somewhere?" Johnny licked his ice cream.
"Where?"
Johnny thought licking his ice cream. "How about that place you help Reed build."
"The resort?"
Johnny nodded.
"I don't see why not. It's full functional."
"Goody." Johnny bent down and licked Brooklyn's ice cream.
"Hey you have your own." Brooklyn pouted.
"It's gone, I ate it." Johnny grabbed Brooklyn's hand. The one with the ice cream in it, and licked again.
"Stop. Stop." Brooklyn wacked Johnny. "Stop, Johnny." Brooklyn laughed as Johnny kept licking her ice cream, occasionally licking her hand.
"That was good." Johnny licked his lips."
"Yeah apparently it was." Brooklyn pursed her lips looking at her empty cone.
"What are ya gonna do with that?"
"Nothing..."
Johnny snatch the cone from Brooklyn's hand and ate it.
"I guess."
Johnny grinned at Brooklyn and noticed that she wasn't happy. "Baby what's wrong?"
"You know full well what's wrong." Brooklyn pouted arms crossed.
"You said nothing, so." Johnny shrugged.
Brooklyn's eyebrows were knitted and she had her lower lip out. She wasn't walking any more either.
"Look Brooky I'm sorry. How about I take you to dinner?"
Brooklyn looked away and down.
"Brooky." Johnny walked over to her.
She still didn't look at him.
Johnny got down on his knees, and place his hands on either side of her face, making her look at him. "Brooky please." Johnny stuck his lower lip out.
A small smiled crept on to Brooklyn's lips.
"I'm sorry."
Brooklyn started laughing, she smiled. "Ok."
"Thank you." Johnny stood and took Brooklyn's hand. "I love you."
Brooklyn stood on her tip toes and kissed Johnny.
"Smoke'n." he grinned.
"I love you too, Torch." Brooklyn smiled. She wrapped her arm around Johnny's and leaned her head on him as they walked down he side walk.
Johnny moved his arm and put it around Brooklyn.
