Hey! Ready to hear why Ben got hurt? Really?! Sweet! Well, here it is and sorry that it's been a while since I've sent a chap. to Fanfiction.
Chapter 4: Ben…you did what with Doom?
Why did this have to happen? Reed thought as they (the FF Jenny, and Kit) all went into the medium sized elevator to reach the little part of the hotel that the FF were staying at. All the way up to the hotel, Reed had his head down, still thinking that it was his fault that Ben was in the hospital. Finally, the elevator door opened to reveal a room with two beds, a dresser, a bathroom, a kitchen, a desk with a chair, and a small couch all looking crowded.Johnny sat in the chair while Reed leaned against the dresser, putting his hand through his hair. Susan sat in the couch with Kit, watching Jenny bitting her fingernail, which kept healing back. Should I tell him, or should I not tell him? Jenny thought as she continued to bite her non-stop-healing fingernail. Finally, giving up, she went into the kitchen when- "Wait a second, where are you going?" Reed asked as he grabbed her arm."I-uh-I was…well…going to…get something to eat!" she started to stutter, trying to think of an exuse to use."Right…now, tell us what really happened to Ben.""I can't.""Why not?" asked Johnny as Susan gave him a nasty look." 'Cause, Dad told me not to tell anyone, not even you guys," she added as she saw Kit getting ready to open her mouth to speak."Please tell us, or at least me, so I could run-""If you run any more tests, you could make what he has worse."What's wrong with him? Jen', please…"She thought for a moment, and then she gave Reed a concerned look."What's the worst thing that could happen?" he asked as he let go of her and she stepped forward."Him grounding me for eternity!" she answered. There was silence for a while, but the same question still rang in their heads: What did Ben do that could hurt him so bad, and couldn't be told to anyone? MEANWHILE!!
Ben laid still in the hospital bed, breathing slowing so to not hurt his chest badly again.He looked around the room once more, pretending that everyone was back in his room. He then tried to imagine that he could take back what he and Doom had done, why he couldn't do his old power anymore, but, a deal's a deal. Keep your promise, Ben. If not, Jenny wouldn't be able to go to Hawaii like you and Alicia planned. Doom's words kept on repeating in his head as he closed his eyes and tears ran down his rock-like face.Suddenly, he heard someone by his bed. Ben opened his eyes to see a masked figure with a cloak on, looking down at the floor. The figure looked up, revealing his dark, red eyes."What are you doing here, Doom? Or actually, how did you get here?" Ben asked as he struggled to sit up."Oh nothing, just checking on you. How are you now?" Doom asked in an evil voice that made Ben flinch."You don't need to know. Why are you here?""Just to remind you to keep your promise, and to ask you a question: How's the new power coming?""Hate it!""Really? I'd think you'd like it."Ben groaned as he laied back down in the matteress."Aww, is the big bad rocky hurt? Well, that's too bad," Doom cooed at him as he walked over to the bed. He looked at the 'Get Well' cards on the table and ripped them. He turned to Ben, whose's eyes were wide. "You're going to tell them that the doctor put them away, and you're not going to tell them that I was here." With that, he disappered. Ben turned to the shredded cards, and then looked out the window. The orange ball of fire that they called the sun was slowly going down as the moon slowly rose up. "Great, I can finally try to get some sleep," he said to himself as he closed his eyes.THE NEXT DAY!!
It was early moring when Jenny was flying high in the sky, on her way to see her dad. She knew that Reed would get mad and worried at the same time. She didn't care, he always got mad at her and Kit these days.RING!! She flew over to a tall building to land so she could anwser her fireproof cell."Hello?" she asked, wondering who would be calling her so early in the morning."Jenny, is this the right number?""Steve! Gosh, I haven't heard from you since we met at the resturant!""I know. It seems like forever ago! I was wanting to ask you a question.""What's that?" Jenny imagined him sitting on his bed, putting his hand through his soft, blonde hair."Would sometime, maybe, I don't know, I was wondering if you could go on… a date with me?""Yea, sure. Tonight? At 6:30 at the movies to see a sad/romantic movie?""Sounds great. Want me to pick you up at 6?""That's what I was thinking of!""Bye!""Bye…" She hung up and sighed. Remembering why she was up here, she took off to the hospital, excited about the romantic event that was going to happen.NOT TO MUCH FAR OFF!"A date? Tonight? Wonderful…you're all mine, Jennifer Grimm," a dark voice mumbled then laughed an evil laugh. "You better enjoy your last date, 'cause after that, I'm going to throw a death party just for you…unless if you fall in love with me."
