Fantastic Four Page #2

We've had it

analyzed repeatedly,

but no one's ever

seen anything like it.

Oh, wow.

I'm sorry. We're from

the Baxter Foundation.

This is my daughter, Sue.

Hi.

Hi.

We'd like to

give you a full scholarship.

Uh, where did you say

you were from again?

Hey. You could fit the whole

neighborhood in there.

What's your name?

Uh, Reed.

Richards.

Yes, of course.

We've been expecting you.

They actually

wear lab coats here.

This is you, sir.

Here.

What?

What is this?

It's a going-away present.

I'm not going away.

I'm, like, a 40-minute

train ride from Oyster Bay.

Reed, look at this place.

You belong here.

I've been here two minutes

and I already know that.

I'm just going to school here.

It's where I'm gonna be working.

It looks like

you're home, buddy.

Hey.

This place is pretty incredible.

They have molecular chem

books from the 1950s.

Oh, hey. Sorry,

did you say something?

Yeah, I was just asking,

what are you listening to?

Portishead.

Never heard of him.

"Them."

I'll have to check them out.

I love this book.

It's about this guy,

Captain Nemo.

He invents a submarine

that goes deeper

than anything in history.

Yeah, I know. I've read it.

So, you like music?

Is that kind of like your thing?

Pattern recognition.

Pattern recognition?

Music is just a series

of altered patterns.

The musician creates the pattern

and makes us

anticipate a resolution...

...then holds back.

Makes you wait for it.

There's patterns in

everything and everyone.

Hmm.

What's mine?

You wanna be famous.

Your parents, teachers

all told you one thing,

one way to be,

and you ignored them.

And now I'm here.

So you are.

Am I that predictable?

Everybody is.

Well, you're wrong.

I don't wanna be famous.

I just want my work

to make a difference.

Well, here you are,

Captain Nemo.

Go for it.

Bye.

Let me guess.

Some kid from the Internet.

Science fair.

Franklin,

this board has invested

a great deal

in your little orphanage.

We need real world applications.

This has real world

applications.

I truly believe

that there is an entire...

"An entirely new universe,

"just beyond

our ability to see."

Yes, I've read your paper.

Once we get there...

If we get there.

...we'll be able to

discover new resources.

Energy sources which

will revitalize our own.

This is our chance to learn more

about our planet

and maybe even save it.

And I'm sure you all would

agree that even if...

Wait. What is this?

Victor Von Doom is on here.

He started this project

and devoted

a decade of his life to it.

He deserves to be in jail.

He deserves another chance.

He set fire to your

data servers before he left.

I'm going to personally
