Happy Oh No

Ok so now it's Sue's birthday and, like I said, Mr. Silver Surfer makes another entrance and…back comes Merc's powers!!

"If I'm not very celebratory, it's because I'm tired." Merc said, hugging Sue. She had gone to her classes then taught her dance class and now they were standing on the roof of the Baxter Building where Sue's birthday party was happening.

"No doubt." Sue said. "Take it easy there, Mercy." Merc smiled and handed Sue her present before wandering off to find Johnny talking with Ben and Alicia.

"Hey kid…been wondering when you were gonna show." Ben said.

"Hey, unlike most of you guys…I have school and work to do." Merc said. She looked at Alicia. "So Alicia, how's my possible-future-aunt doing?"

"I'm fine, possible-future-niece." Alicia said, laughing. Merc smiled and allowed Johnny to wrap his arms around her.

"If Ben could blush…I'd bet he'd be doing it right now." Johnny said. Ben was the only one that didn't laugh at that and Merc put her own arms around Johnny, cuddling closer to him.

"Well Uncle Ben, hope to it…I want cousins." Merc said. That got Johnny laughing so much he fell over, bringing Merc with him. Alicia went red and Ben glared at the younger man. "I'm…I'm joking." Merc managed to say between laughing fits.

"Ok…we're gonna leave you kids alone…come on, Benny." Alicia said. Ben led her away from the laughing couple.

"Oh…god." Johnny said. "That…that was good…well done, babe."

"I learn from the best." Merc said, standing up. Johnny stood up as well. "Cause you know…Ashton Kutcher…amazing."

"What?" Johnny asked.

"Well…you know…the show Punk'd." Merc said.

"You don't watch Punk'd." Johnny said.

"Damn…I thought you wouldn't know that." Merc said.

"I know everything." Johnny said. He put his arms around Merc's waist. "You don't like Ashton Kutcher because you really couldn't care less about Demi Moore and now they're married so you feel that way about both of them and…"

"Ok, I get it." Merc said. "All knowing boyfriend makes a point."

"Thank you." Johnny said. "Now…I get a reward."

"Says who?" Merc asked.

"You." Johnny said. "Remember…you said every time I'm right I get a reward until New Years."

"Oh for…fine." Merc said. "What do you want?"

"This…" Johnny said, kissing her. Merc smiled slightly before wrapping her arms around his neck.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!" Everyone present shouted as Sue, laughing and rolling her eyes, blew out candles on her cake about ten minutes later. Merc clapped loudly since she had to clap for herself and Johnny who, again, had his arms around her waist.

"Now…this doesn't look like a store bought cake." Sue said.

"You know that day I pretty much forced you to stay out of the kitchen?" Merc said.

"Yeah." Sue said.

"I let twiddle-dee and twiddle-dum here help make it." Merc said, pointing first at Reed and then at Johnny. "This just proves…you two know nothing about baking." Everyone laughed and Johnny pinched Merc's waist. "Hey! I can slap you, you know." Johnny grabbed her hands. "That's not the way I meant."

"Ow!" Johnny said, his hips moving as if he was the one that got pinched. "Don't do that."

"Too…" Merc started but stopped and looked around. Something felt odd. She got herself out of Johnny's hold and walked slowly away from where everyone was gathered. She heard her name called but didn't pay attention as she leaned over the side of the building, trying to figure out what had caught her attention.

"Merc?" Johnny asked. Reed, Sue and Ben all stood by him, all of them watching the youngest in their group.

"What's she looking for?" Sue asked. Johnny shook his head.

"Merc what…" Ben started but instantly stopped as something seemed to shoot across the sky and grabbed Merc, yanking her off the roof and flying away. "Johnny!"

"I'm on it." Johnny said, running forward and flaming on just as he jumped over the side.

(((A/N: Heehee, bit of the trailer there.)))

"AH! You?" Merc said, looking at the silver man that had grabbed her and was now flying her all over New York by the looks of it. "Let me go, let me go, let me go!!" She looked behind them and saw the fire following them. There was Johnny…things would be ok now. Everything darkened and she looked back ahead to see them in a tunnel. With a small scream she closed her eyes and was actually glad with the grip on her tightened. When things got brighter she didn't open her eyes.

"Goddamnit!" Johnny muttered, losing track of the other flyer as he dodged around vehicles. He spotted the silver spot ahead and hurried forward. Whoever this guy was, he was so going to pay for kidnapping his girlfriend.

"How are we going to find them?" Sue asked. "They could be across the city by now."

"We look." Reed said. "And it shouldn't be that hard. I put a flame resistant tracking device into Johnny's suit the other day."

"And how do we track the tracking device?" Sue asked. Reed only answered that with a smile. He went over to what looked like a giant shed and slid open the doors, revealing the newly finished Fantastic Five car with their symbol on the front.

"With this." Reed said.

"You are amazing." Sue said.

Five minutes later they were all in their uniforms and sitting in the car which was now flying over the city. Sue was keeping track of the homing signal and Reed was driving while Ben…well…he was pretty much just enjoying the scenery.

"We're getting closer." Sue said.

"I can see that." Reed said, looking at the little screen.

"Turn left up here." Sue said.

"Why would I do that?" Reed asked.

"Just do it before you miss it!" Sue said.

"But if we go straight we can catch up quicker…" Reed said.

"Reed turn left now!" Sue said, making a small force field and using it to push Reed's hands in order to get the car turned. Reed glared at her slightly once they turned the way she wanted but she just smiled back.

"Ok…this is really getting annoying." Johnny said. He put on a surge of power and gained up on the silver guy…just as he turned around and reached out, grabbing Johnny's throat.

(((A/N: I know this is from the trailer but I like this idea so I'm gonna use it.)))

To his surprise, Johnny flamed off. That scared him a bit because he had no clue what was going on. He tried to loosen the grip the silver man had on his throat.

"Where is she?" Johnny asked.

"Who?" The silver man asked.

"The girl you took…MY girlfriend." Johnny said.

"She's not her." The silver man said. His grip tightened and Johnny focused on trying to get him off. It was then he noticed that they were pretty far from the ground.

"Who are you?" He asked.

"The silver surfer." The silver man said, just before letting go of Johnny who went unconscious as he fell.

Merc stood against the wall she was left at. She would have been long gone by now if the stupid silver man didn't do something to her feet. She tried everything she could but there was no way to get out. She looked up as something big and blue zoomed overhead and she stared at it.

"What the hell was that?" Merc asked herself. She shook her head and then screamed slightly as she suddenly fell over. Her feet were free from whatever bound them. "Oh goody…that just means one thing." She sat up and looked at the silver man who now stood before her. "Why do you have to bug me? There are…a million people in this city. Can't you bug one of them?" She yelped as he grabbed her arm and hauled her to her feet. "I get enough of this from my boyfriend I don't need some shiny silver dude doing it too."

"Your boyfriend…" The silver surfer said.

"Yeah…the guy chasing after us…the one on fire." Merc said.

"He will be no trouble now." Surfer said. Merc's eyes widened.

"What did you do?" She asked. She got no answer as he took off flying again with her tightly in his hold.

"Johnny…come on…Johnny wake up." Sue said, lightly hitting Johnny's face. They had gotten there just before he was about to hit the ground and Reed stretched like crazy to grab him on time. Now they were all on the ground and Sue was crouched next to her brother. "Johnny…Johnny please!"

"Move aside Susie." Ben said. Sue moved and Ben, with his hands cupped, stood where she just was. He opened his hands and dropped a bunch of water on Johnny's face. The younger man spluttered and sat up, coughing slightly. Ben smirked. "Works every time."

"Are you ok?" Sue asked, throwing her arms around Johnny who gingerly reached up and patted her shoulder.

"What happened?" Reed asked. Johnny explained about chasing the surfer around the city, loosing him for a moment (which he guessed was when the surer dropped Merc) and then getting grabbed and hauled into the air before he went unconscious on the fall back down.

"He made you flame off?" Sue asked. Johnny nodded, rubbing his throat to check for bruises.

"So…wait…where's Mercy?" Ben asked. Everyone looked at each other and Johnny looked down at his legs.

"Yeah this is sooo the way to win over a girl…NOT!!" Merc yelled, trying to get her arms free from the shackles. She had tried her powers but she didn't want to risk the surfer seeing her do it so she couldn't build up enough concentration. As far as she knew…he thought that she was just some weak, powerless girl and that's what she wanted him to keep thinking until she could figure out a way to get out. "HELLO!! ARE YOU EVEN HERE STILL?!" She had been left alone in a windowless room, chained to a wall. She was getting really pissed off. Merc pulled on the shackles again and then yelped as she felt something dig into her wrist. She stopped and watched as a thin red line of blood ran down from under the cuff and over her hand. "Great…just great."

I'm gonna leave it there. I really don't have a clue of what to do next so I'm gonna need some help with that.
