Fantastic Four Page #3

Von Doom agrees in exchange for control over the experiment and a majority of the profits from whatever benefits it brings. He thus brings aboard Susan Storm, his shy, though assertive chief genetics researcher and a former lover of Reed's with whom she had an acrimonious break-up, and her diametrically opposed brother Johnny, the maverick and hot-headed playboy pilot.

We came here to do a job,

so let's do it Quickly

Victor, Reed's right.

We have less than six minutes.

- Ben, get inside now!

- What's going on?

I ain't done arrangin'

your flowers yet, egghead.

[ Reed ]

Ben, turn around

- [ Ben ] Guys, I'm not gonna make it.

- You gotta jump!

It's the only way!

- What are you doing?

- Closing the shields.

- You can't just leave them out there.

- Watch me.

You can't help them

any more than I can!

I can try.

Come on, Ben! You got this!

Johnny, get ready to close the portal.

[ Groans ]

- You okay?

- Oh. Yeah.

Ben! Ben!

Ben!

[ Monitor Beeping ]

Wake up Ben

Hey, rise and shine, big boy.

How you feeling?

- [ Groans ] Where am I?

- Back on Earth.

We're in quarantine.

Victor's medical facility.

Reed? Sue?

Oh, they're fine.

Everybody else is fine.

What's wrong with me?

I swear to you, Ben, they've done

everything humanly possible.

The best plastic surgeons in the world

are here, Ben. You had the best.

- Give me that mirror

- I don't know if that's a good idea.

- They said the shock alone-

- I said, give me that goddamn mirror!

Okay, Ben.

Just be strong.

Unfortunately, the doctors just

couldn't do anything to fix your face

[ Yells ]

Hey. Nice do.

[ Chuckles ]

Likin' the grandpa look.

What?

[ TV:
Reporter ] You've been charged

with moving science a little too fast

[ Von Doom ]

By whom, my competitors?

[ Door Closes ]

Danger is always part of this

- How's she doing?

- Stable.

And her vitals are strong.

Blood panels show no irradiation.

Good.

- You'll step up this protocol-

- Every four hours, yes.

We know what we're doing.

- Another day of observation, and you're all clear.

- [ Door Opens ]

[ Cart Squeaking, Rattling ]

She's allergic to orchids.

Put the sunflowers by her bed.

They're her favorites

[ Door Closes ]

Well, Victor

the bank would like

to congratulate you...

on the fastest free-fall

since the Depression

- We can't even give your stock away.

- Ned, I can turn this around.

You're going to have to, Victor,

or we pull out.

- You have a week.

- You're enjoying this, aren't you, Ned?

One week.

Whoa, whoa, whoa

Where do we think we're going?

I don't know if we've noticed, but the sickest

runs this side of the Alps are right outside.

Yeah, I've noticed. But there are rules here.

You can't leave until we-

Until we've finished the tests. I know.

I've never been good with rules.

You let me know

how those come out.

- Do you wanna help me with the zipper?

- This is not a ski resort.

Not yet.

Luckily, Grandma still sends care packages.

It's amazing.

- For an 80-year-old woman, you'd be surpri-
