Chapter 1:

”Where am I?” I asked myself, as I woke up in some kind of queue, with people walking behind me and in front of me towards what can only be described as some kind of temple. Looking around, all the people surrounding me have a blank look in their eyes. I can see hundreds of people, but a mist is obscuring my vision for more than fifty meters.

Thinking to myself that it wouldn't be a good idea to stand out in a situation where everyone looks brainwashed or something, I just follow slowly, in silence, trying to keep my eyes from wandering too much in case we're being watched. After about twenty minutes with no sound being made but the shuffling of feet against the yellow tiled floor, no movement but the people slowly advancing towards a temple that doesn't look to be getting closer, no matter how much we walk towards it, and not seeing anyone else but us, I decided to be a little adventurous. Still walking in the direction of the temple, at the same speed as the others, i slowly inch to the right, trying to distance myself from the queue.

The moment I step out, however,-

”Finally! Dammit, that's why this part of the queue was stuck in the forgetting mist for the last half an hour. Come on, step out now, it's alright. I understand this might be scary, but we need to talk, and you obviously need answers. Come with me, don't worry, I'm not going to do anything.”

As soon as my body was out the queue, a humongous beast four meter high and two meters wide with the head and tail of a bull addressed me. Quite frankly, I don't know what's the scariest thing, that an actual Minotaur like creature exists, or that I feel like it's normal for it to exist. Why do I feel that way? Now that I think about it, why did I not panic about anything around me?

”Now, please, I really need you to come with me, you're delaying everyone. My wife is going to kill me if I do any overtime again, so please, help a brother out and come with me alright?”

What the f_u_c_k is happening? Did that really just happened?

”Alright.” My body answers without my input on the question, and starts following the Minotaur. What the f_u_c_k is happening to me?!

”I'm sorry about that, but I needed you to move, so I used a bit of persuasion. As soon as we're in the office I'll free you from it. There's mostly no side effect from it, and even then, something tells me you won't have to worry about that.”

What? Side effects? Why wouldn't I worry about that? Am I going to die?

”Am I going to die?” Asks my body. Yes! Go me!

”Why would you die again so soon? Oh! Is it about what I just said? Oh no I just think you're going to get resurrected is all. So since you'll be getting a new body there is no need to worry about anything. Alright, just a couple more minutes and we're there.”

I… I died? I mean, I guess the weird queue, the blank look, the temple, the mist and weird creature should have- no! No, what the f_u_c_k!? I died!?

”How did I die?”

”I don't know, probably saving someone since you're getting resurrected. I'm not omniscient, I'm just a guardian. She'll tell you everything you need to know. Alright, we're here. It's the second door on the left. Bye, now! Have a good rerun!” the Minotaur says as we arrive at the entrance of a decrepit looking house. Stepping through the open door, my body stops moving, and I suddenly

fall on the ground with a loud thump, unable to move.

”Oh, my bad, there you go. Should be better. Don't dally, she doesn't like people who make her wait.”

*Gasps* As I feel my body again, I take deep breaths to calm down. When I feel good enough to walk, I stand up, look behind me only to see the door slowly closing with a squeaking sound.

”Alright then…” I mutter, walking towards the second door on the left as the married Minotaur told me. About to knock on it, it suddenly opens. Stepping through, I see a small table on the ground in front of a huge bed, veiled from all sides. Is the person/creature on the other side so ugly as to have to hide itself from anyone, or is she really scared of mosquitoes?

”Okay, that's it! Stop thinking that shit! Forty-five minutes that I hear you thinking so loud and so rudely! I was going to explain everything to you despite everything, even after you called my house decrepit, but no. You don't get to get that anymore. Who do you think is one of the most hated characters in Marvel?”

What the f-

”Don't you dare finish that thought. Answer my damn question!”

I-

”And trying to think of nothing doesn't work either you shithead! Worst Marvel Character! Now!”

As hard as I try, I couldn't help but subconsciously think of Reed Richards despite my best efforts, and so...

”Mr. Fantastic it is! Get ready for a wild ride!”

”Wait! Don't I get a wish or a cheat ability or a system or anything? This is a reincarnation, right?!”

”You pissed me off, so no. But don't worry, I'll be nice to you, you won't get to remember your past life till you're back from the dimensional travel. If you do actually do the experiment that is…”

She muttered the last sentence just loud enough for me to hear, but when I asked ”Wait, what?”, I suddenly felt nothing but darkness encroach my mind.

*Gasps* ”I… I've got to… to stop doing that…” I say, after waking up. Remember when I wasn't in control of my body in the underworld? Well the last nineteen years have been even worse. I was in the body of Reed Richards, saw him make stupid decisions after stupid decisions, but couldn't do anything about it.

Now, let's deal with the situation at hand. I appear to have my body stretched out. I close my eyes, take a deep breath, think about it becoming normal again, and open my eyes again. Slowly but surely, my arms and legs are pulled towards me, losing their elasticity.

Good, so I can actually control it by really focusing on it. I'll have to work on that, and speak about it to the others. Right! The others! So, this is a difficult situation. Difficult, because during those nineteen years, I didn't recognize this setup, this universe, from anything I read and seen in movies. Granted, I haven't read all of the comics, but even then, this is really different.

Being myself again, in one human sized body, I tentatively take a step forward. My foot touches the floor, and stays in form. The second step is the same. Perfect, let's do it. The room I'm in is blank. There's nothing but the bed in it, and I can't see any camera. I walk towards the door, put my ear against it, and hear nothing from the other side. I try to open it, but it's locked. There's no keyhole on my side. The gap between the door and the floor is just under a centimeter tall, so it's going to take some practice.

After a way longer hour than it had any right to be, my hand finally slips through the door, but instead of reaching out, I try to stay at the closest possible to the recess. As my hands slowly climbs against the door, I manage to find and unhook the latch holding the door closed. After trying out the door from my side, it doesn't appear to be locked anymore, so I pull my hand back and open it extremely slightly, trying to see in the corridor. It's a dark corridor, with five doors in it and nothing else. Walking to the nearest, I unlatch it and slowly open it. Seeing Sue inside, I go to her, and close it behind me.

”Sue..” I whisper. ”Susan…” She slowly opens her eyes. Seeing me, she has a small smile, but it quickly morphs into horror. ”

”Reed!”

”Shh!” I say, gesturing her to stay quiet. ”I don't know where we are. After we came back, I woke up just like you did.”

”Oh, thank god, we made it… Wait, what about the others? Are they… Johnny!”

”I just got out of my room and found you, I suppose they're in the other rooms. Take it easy. Breathe, slowly. You're losing control.”

”What do you mean I'm losing control!” She says, as her hand and head slowly turns invisible.

”Calm down, we're okay, you're okay. We'll be home soon.”

”Why wouldn't I be okay? Is there something wrong with me? Do I…”

To shut her up, as even her hair started disappearing, I did the only thing I could think of in the spur of the moment. I put my hands around where I last saw her face, caught what I thought were her cheeks, and kissed her on what I only hope was her mouth. Surprised at first, she calmed down in my hands, and started kissing back. Her hair, head and hands reappearing as the kiss deepened a bit.

”Okay, I can't believe I didn't do that sooner…”

”I was starting to think you never would,” she answers.

”Now that you're calm, we-”

”I wouldn't say calm exactly…”

”Now that you're calmer, I need to talk, and you need to listen just a bit. Can you do that for me for a minute, please? Without freaking out too much?”

”What? Okay… I'll try…”

”So, the storm in that dimension seem to have affected all of us while we were in the pods. They seem to have affected our bodies, and given us mutations. I can apparently control the elasticity of my body while it seems you can control yours to become invisible. It took a little getting used to for me, and it should be the same for you. I told you not to freak out because it seems our emotional state affects our mutation and triggers our… power? When I woke up, I was literally the size of the room I was in. When you started getting worried, you became more and more invisible. See, it's happening again. Breathe, Sue, think about staying visible.”

”I… I… My hand…”

”Clothe your eyes. Breathe, slowly. In… And out… In…” As we do the small breathing exercise, she slowly gets her hand to become visible again.

”This is going to take some use to, I know. But we need to check on the other. Can you come with me?”

I held out my hand, and as she opens her eyes again, and seeing her hands, she smiles as she takes mine. As we walk to the other door, we see Johnny on the bed. I tell her to talk with him, bet to keep her distance, just in case the mutation is more dangerous than ours, while I go check on Ben.
