Chapter 65 - Fantastic Four -5- (1/2)
Ben returned to the Baxter Building. He was still feeling calm. He found it weird. He thought :' Maybe i should look for that girl named Alicia.'
Ben entered the building and spotted Sue and Reed working. It was early morning. He spent the night training under Elijah Müller. The man was really mysterious as they say.
He thought about how Elijah could travel to planets using his portals:' The guy is something else. I still don't know why he helped me.'
Sue noticed Ben and dropped what was in her hands.
Sue:” Ben, is that you?”
Ben :” Hell yeah , I'm back.”
Reed who was focused on his research didn't notice the change of Ben.
Reed :” Hi Ben.”
Sue looked weirdly at Reed before she said:” Look at him , Reed.”
Reed stopped what he was doing and looked at Ben. Seeing his change, he asked:” How did you return to human?”
Sue:” Yes how did it happen?”
Ben shrugged his shoulders and said:” Elijah Müller helped me.”
Both Reed and Sue were confused:” How did you meet him?”
Ben:” He found me.”
Reed:” How did he reverse the process?”
Ben:” I cannot tell you.”
Sue :” Why?”
Ben:” Well i just cannot.”
Reed:” Come on give me some samples to study.”
Ben shook his head:” No Reed. You had enough time to find a cure and you didn't. Just leave it at that.”
Ben then left the lab. He crossed paths with Johnny.
Johnny:” Oh man you returned to human. Can you pee now?”
Ben punched Johnny in the gut sending Johnny backwards crashing to a wall.
Ben:' I guess i have super strength in human form too.'
Ben looked at Johnny and said:” Asshole.”
Inside the lab.
Reed was confused by Ben's behaviour.
He asked Sue:” what's up with him?”
Sue:” Come on Reed. Be more responsible. You are always distracted from the objective. Sometimes you forget to work on a cure and you start daydreaming about other scientific question.”
Suddenly Susan's phone rang.
Sue:” It's Victor.”
She answered:” Victor Where were you? Why didn't you answer my calls?”
Victor:” Sorry Susan. I was busy.”
Susan:” How have you been? Do you feel strange?”
Victor:” I'm completely fine and normal.”
Susan:” Where are you now?”
Victor:” I'm home. Are you free tonight?”
Susan looked at Reed. She found him back to his research.
She sighed and said:” Yes i'm free.”
Victor:” Dinner at my house?”
Sue:” Alright. See you at 8.”
At the other end of the line, Victor put down his phone. He was sitting in his chair looking through the window. He had a dark green hood and wore a black cloak with green linings to hide his features.
Later at night , Susan arrived at his mansion.
She was dressed elegantly.
The doors opened. She entered and shouted:” Victor, are you in here ?”
Susan was feeling a bit disturbed. Ever since approaching the mansion, she kept feeling something in her mind as if warning her not to approach. Not knowing what was going on, she ignored the warnings.
She went to the living room. She saw a metal sculpture in the shape of a man sitting on a chair.
The metal man moved much to her surprise.
Victor:” Welcome Susan.”
