Lol…new preview for FF2 and what happens to Johnny is hilarious. So I'm gonna use that!
"Why are we running tests on me when we should be looking for Merc?" Johnny asked, looking at the helmet on his head.
"We have to find out how he made you flame off." Reed said.
"But what if he's doing something to her?" Johnny asked.
"We're not taking you anywhere if your powers aren't working anymore." Sue said. Johnny rolled his eyes.
"Done." Reed said. The helmet was taken off and Johnny moved to sit on the table behind them. Ben crossed his arms. Reed looked through all the results.
"Well?" Ben asked.
"Tell me something good here Reed." Johnny said.
"Your encounter with the surfer has affected your molecules." Reed said.
"Oook." Johnny said. "And that means…"
"It could cause you to temporarily switch powers." Reed said. There was a pause where everyone looked at each other.
"Do you need a volunteer to test it?" Ben asked.
"Wait, what no!" Johnny said.
"No, no, no…Ben…" Sue said. Ben ignored them and put his hand on Johnny's shoulder. It glowed and everyone stared as he stepped away from him and started changing. Sue and Reed were watching Ben change back to normal…they didn't even notice Johnny change into a rock…until he yelled.
"OH MY GOD!!!" Johnny said. Sue looked at him. Ben laughed and snapped his fingers, catching his thumb on fire…just like what Johnny did when he first learned about his powers.
(((A/N: That parts in the trailer…I just changed a bit.)))
"Ha!" Ben said. Everyone looked at Johnny as he looked at himself in a mirror.
"Oh come on!" Johnny said. He looked at everyone. "Reed, come on man, how long is temporarily? Please tell me it's a short amount of time."
"Could be a few minutes…could be a few hours." Reed said, shrugging.
"On the plus side…you can still come help us find Merc." Sue said.
"How is that a plus?" Johnny asked. Sue and Reed both seemed to find it hard not to laugh whereas Ben…was just cracking up.
Merc twisted her hand around in the shackle so that she could see her palm. Little crescents marked it from where she had stuck her nails into her skin when she was mad earlier.
"Ok…let's give this one more shot." Merc muttered. She moved herself so that she could bring her hands together. She focused on them. Within a few seconds the shackles broke off and fell to the ground noisily. "Ah damn it." The door flew open as she stood up.
"How…" The Surfer asked, stepping into the room. Merc threw her hands up and he stopped moving. Confused, the Surfer looked down at his feet then up at her.
"Well what do ya know…my powers are back." Merc said. "And no headaches. Thank god!" She flicked her wrist and the Surfer was thrown backwards out of the room. She put her hands together and looked up at the ceiling. "Thank you so fucking much!" Then she bolted out of the room and out another door. She had no clue where she was going, just as long as she put space between herself and the manic that kidnapped her.
She found herself outside in a court yard. Deciding now would be a good time to test out her powers, she looked back the way she came and it didn't take long for her to sense where the Silver Surfer was. He was moving around, trying to find her more then likely. Merc frowned at how easy it was to pick up on that. She then focused on trying to contact any of the others.
Oh god…I can't believe this happened to me! I'm gonna kill Ben as soon as this all switches back. Johnny said.
Johnny! Merc said. She heard Johnny scream and couldn't help but laugh.
What the hell? Merc? Johnny said.
Yeah. What are you going on about? Why do you wanna kill my uncle this time? Merc asked.
Uh…no reason. Johnny said.
Johnny… Merc said, warningly.
Where are you?" Johnny asked.
No fucking clue. But wherever I am has a pretty nice courtyard. Merc said.
I see that. Johnny said.
You see that? Wait…how? Merc asked.
I don't know…I closed my eyes and I can kinda see what I'm guessing you're seeing. Johnny said.
Holy shit how fucking strong are my powers now? Merc asked. She heard noises and turned back to the door she came through.
I dunno. Mercy we're in this car thing that Reed made. Johnny said.
Oook. Merc said, watching the door.
And it flies…so maybe if you can get out of that courtyard and stand on a roof or something, we'd be able to find you. Johnny said.
Brilliant plan, baby. One problem though. Merc said. These walls are smooth, there's nothing to hold onto.
Use your powers. Johnny said. You did say that you can kinda sorta fly right?
More or less. Merc said.
Well if you're powers are stronger then before then it should be easy to do a bit of levitating or something. Johnny said.
If I get hurt…you are so getting your ass kicked. Merc said. She took her eyes off the door and looked down at herself. She remembered making the elevator move faster back when Ben had been turned back to normal. She turned her hands so that her palms were up, glancing at the cuts she had on her wrists from the shackles, then lifted them up which made herself rise up as well.
"This is so freaky. How can Johnny do this on a regular basis?" Merc muttered. She rose up slowly, looking up for any possibility for a ledge or something to stand on. She found a ledge and landed herself onto it. She pressed her back to the wall and looked down. She could feel the Silver Surfer getting closer. She shivered before resuming her rise to the roof. Merc reached her rising peak as she was within grabbing reach of the roof. She quickly grabbed hold and hung there for a while before pulling herself up just as the door was banged open below.
"That girl is more trouble then she's worth it appears." The Surfer said. Merc looked over the edge and frowned. Maybe there was a purpose for him hunting her down…but she honestly did not want to know it. She looked across the courtyard to another door and did a mental search through there before making something fall over. The Surfer was through that door in an instant.
"Ok now what?" Merc muttered, standing up and crossing her arms as she walked across the roof, her hair blowing around her head…more then it should. She looked up to see something blue hovering over her. Raising an eyebrow she stepped to the side as it came down.
"You called for a pick up?" Johnny asked. Merc giggled and climbed in next to him in the middle of the car. "Pretty sweet ride huh?"
"Yeah." Merc said. "But let's go before this Surfer dude figures out that…why do you look like Ben??" She turned around and looked at her Uncle who looked normal but had the occasional flame on his body. "Oook…"
"You tell us what happened and we'll tell you what happened." Sue said. "Deal?"
"Deal." Merc said. She looked at Johnny. "I hope you know that as long as you look like that…I ain't kissing you."
"We haven't figured out how long 'temporarily' is." Reed said.
"Oh…ok." Merc said.
"Go ahead." Johnny said, crossing his arms and frowning. Merc let into the urge and laughed, which made Ben start laughing all over again. Johnny just sulked the whole ride back to the Baxter.
Another question!!! Should Merc be able to do the transfer thing too??
