Chapter 12
Five minutes later found the Fantastic Four and Lily sitting on the couches and chair. Ben and Johnny had followed Sue when they heard the gunshots. Lily had stopped crying and was just staring at her father's body, seemingly in shock. The assassin still had his gun trained on them and kept looking at his watch.
"Reed, what's going on here?" Ben asked as he whispered.
Reed looked at Ben, "I don't know."
"Shut up!" The assassin suddenly shouted.
"Ok…ok...sorry," Ben said with his hands raised.
"Why can't we take him down?" Johnny asked as soon as the guy turned back.
"Because we can't take any chances," Reed hissed back.
Johnny rolled his eyes and leaned back on the couch. Sue, who had been watching the assassin, spoke up.
"What is he waiting for?"
"He's waiting for someone," Lily whispered.
The four turned to look at her. Her eyes flashed orange for a second before their eyes.
"Lily?" Reed whispered.
"Hmm?" Lily murmured as she looked at
"Are you all right?"
Lily shrugged her shoulders, "Never better. Why?"
"Well, your eyes just flashed orange," Johnny said.
"Oh," Lily said as she looked back to the body.
Reed and Sue looked at each other; both had concerns for Lily and the way she is acting at the moment. Ben caught their looks.
"Alright, who is he waiting for then?" Ben asked Lily.
Lily pointed towards the elevator just as it dinged, "Him."
The Fantastic Four looked as the doors opened. Sue gasped as Johnny swore. The man stepped out.
"Doom," Reed said.
