Chapter 4

The next morning had the four in the Medic lab sleeping. Reed was slumped over his desk; his face was pressed into the keyboard of his computer. His hand dangled down, holding Sue's hand while she sat in another chair and leaned against Reed's shoulder. Ben lay on the cold floor while Johnny, who had been smart, slept in a sleeping bag on another bed, a small distance away.

Lily stirred awake. She opened her eyes and looked around. The beeping sound of the machine caught her ears and she looked behind her. She saw an IV bag that was attached to her arm. She put a hand on her bandaged wound and with the other hand, pushed herself up to a sitting position. A loud groan escaped her mouth as the pain came.

Ben jumped up and hit his head on a metal tray that clattered to the ground with a loud noise that startled everyone else awake. Reed jumped up from his chair and Sue landed on the ground with a thud, her support system gone. Johnny sat up quickly and just looked around. Reed helped Sue up from the ground as Ben stood up and looked at Lily. Johnny got off the other bed and stretched.

Lily looked around and smiled sheepishly, "Sorry."

Reed smiled back, "It's okay. It's nice to see you're awake."

Lily smiled, "I remember you."

Reed walked up to the bed with Sue behind him. "Your memory's not affected that's for sure."

"I've got photographic memory," Lily said.

"So you remember everything?" Sue asked.

Lily nodded, "I remember the van, him, getting off the elevator, you, and her." She pointed to Ben, Reed, and then to Sue.

"What about me?" Johnny asked.

Lily looked at him for a second before she replied, "Yea, you're the water boy."

Ben snickered.

Reed placed a hand on Lily's arm and she turned to look at him. Before he could speak, Lily spoke.

"Your eyes are the ones I remember the most."

Reed blushed as Sue smiled.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to say that out loud," Lily said.

"Don't be sweetie. When we first met, his eyes were what attracted me to him," Sue said as she kissed Reed, making him blush even more.

Ben laughed as Johnny gagged.

"Do you really have to do that here?" Johnny asked.

Sue looked at Johnny and said, "Yes."

Lily smiled, "Your sister's married after all."

Johnny looked at her, "How did you know that?"

"Who doesn't know? You guys are the Fantastic Four! The whole world knows you," Lily replied.

"Never mind, that was a stupid question," Johnny said.

"You got that right, Tinkerbell," Ben laughed.

Johnny shot a look at Ben.

"TInkerbell? I like that better than the 'Human Torch'," Lily laughed.

Johnny groaned, "Great! Now somebody else is calling me that."

"And you must be Pebbles!"

This time Johnny laughed along with Lily as Ben groaned.

"Oh, don't make me laugh! It hurts!" Lily said as she continued to laugh. "Those have got to be the stupidest and silly nicknames I have ever heard of!"

Lily pressed her hand harder on her stomach as she laughed. Reed jumped into action as soon as he heard her complain of the pain.

"Alright, that's enough you guys," Reed said as he moved Lily's hand away.

Lily and Johnny finally stopped laughing. Tears trickled down Lily's cheek. She looked at Reed.

"Don't look so concerned Mr. Richards, I'm fine," Lily said.

"You can call me Reed. We need to change your bandage," Reed said as he pushed her back down on the bed.

Sue took that as her cue, "Johnny, Ben, come on, I'll make you guys some breakfast."

She left and the other men followed. Soon it was just Reed and Lily. She watched as Reed pulled up her torn shirt.

"What did you want to ask me earlier?" Lily asked.

Reed paused and put his hands on the edge of the bed.

"If you remembered being stabbed?"

Lily paled. She should've known he was going to ask that. Looking up at the high ceiling, she nodded.

"Unfortunately, yea," she whispered.

"Want to talk about it?" Reed asked as he peeled back the bandage.

Lily shook her head, more tears leaked out and she wiped them away. Reed looked at her and continued to re-bandage her.

"All done," Reed said.

Lily looked down and pushed herself up.

"You need to go slow okay?" Reed cautioned as he put a hand on her shoulder.

Lily nodded.

"Thank you," she whispered.

"You're welcome. You hungry?" Reed asked with a smile.

Lily mirrored his smile and nodded, "Starving."

Reed brought up a hand and she took it. He helped her off the bed. As soon as she stood up straight, she swayed.

"Whoa, you alright?" Reed said as he held her tighter.

Lily swallowed and nodded, "I'm okay now. Just dizzy that's all."

They walked out of the room, one holding on to the other.
