The Sunshine Crew turns fantastic


Finally Reed and Sue were alone, not that it would do either of them much good. Reed, much to Sue’s ultimate dismay was still far too oblivious and dense, and caught up in his own little scientific world.

Reed viewed her through a circular monitor that looked caught between a computer screen and a kind of scanner. There was a small black wire secured to her chest, in order to record Sue’s vital statistics.

Reed told her, as he tapped something on the key board of his computer and eyed the screen of the monitor. “It’s not invisibility per se, not like it is with Cassie.” He added “You should be able to bend light around other objects, even people, if you could control your emotional state better.”

Sue had never felt such an overwhelming urge to smack Reed stupid, like she did right then. She asked with a slight edge to her voice “”Excuse me?” She was incredulous over his blunt obliviousness.

Reed replied, oblivious to the very thin ice he was currently walking on, with Sue. “I’m saying, if you had a little more control, you could locate the trigger. Can you remember your exact emotions on the bridge?”

Sue lightly scoffed under her breath, and thought to herself ‘Yes, most definitely. You are the cause of every single last emotion required, you blasted idiot’ She commented out loud “Anger, rage and frustration.” She looked at Reed pointedly, when she mentioned frustration.

Reed was still oblivious to the edge that had now entered Sue’s voice in full force, and asked her “Okay. Is there any way to duplicate that feeling, some memory or?” he trailed off. Sue shrugged and smirked as she replied “I’m sure I can come up with something.”

Sue eyed Reed through the circular monitor, as she started to slowly fade out. He asked “How’s it coming?” That question was the last and final straw, and she let full blast with her power, letting what appeared to be a white force field hit Reed head on.

This caused the monitor to swing to one side, and sent papers and other objects on the desk scattering all over the floor. She felt a brief glimmer of satisfaction when Reed went tumbling backwards out of his chair, his legs over his head.

Instantly she felt bad for even feeling that brief glimmer of satisfaction, and quickly leaped to her feet and rushed over to help Reed up off of the floor. She said “I’m so sorry. Are you okay?” Reed got to his feet and replied “Yeah, fine.” She eyed him in worry and asked again “You sure?” Reed nodded and replied again “Yeah.”

She and Reed started to pick up the scattered papers. She let out a sheepish laugh and commented awkwardly “I” she trailed off briefly, before saying. “You probably through that was some form of latent hostility.”

Reed stood up straight he looked a little annoyed, as he replied “What in the world would give me that idea?” He turned to face her, just as she was turning to leave the lab, and placed one hand in his trouser pocket, and waved the other out to the side. He asked her “I mean, you broke up with me, right?”

Sue scoffed, there was a wide teeth showing smile on her face, which was coloured with disbelief, as she asked him “Are you kidding me?” Reed shook his head and replied “No. I distinctly remember, you walked out of the door, ergo“

Sue cut him off thinking ‘How dare he pin this all on me, how dare he’ She told him “I was ready for the next step, you weren’t. Ergo, I walked.” Reed pointed at her as he replied in turn, before coming more then a little irritated. “I think it was a little bit more complicated then that.” Reed turned away back towards his desk.

Sue said “I just wanted to share an apartment.” She added “What was so complicated about that?” Reed turned back around to face her and replied “There were a lot of variables to consider.”

Sue protested in reply “No, there weren’t. There was you and me. There were no variable, no math. It was actually the simplest thing in the world.” She added after a brief pause and shrug “But like always, Reed, your head got in the way.”

Reed denied it and said “No, it didn’t.” Sue snapped “Then what was it?” She shook her head sadly when Reed remained silent She asked “Did you feel anything when I left?” When he still didn’t answer, she shook her head again and asked “Do you feel anything right now?”

Reed was finding it hard to get any sound passed his lips. Just as Sue shook her once again in defeat, and proceeded to turn on her heel, Reed quickly made a decision. Without saying anything, he grabbed Sue and quickly turned her around, before pulling her closer and capturing her face between the palms of his hands, and capturing her lips in a sweet and gentle kiss.

She froze for a moment in shock, at the sudden and unexpected move, before she closed her eyes, letting out a happy sigh and wrapped her arms around his neck, bring him closer to her, and deepened the kiss.

Reed let out a deep moan, as he gently caressed the sides of her face, before titling his head to one side and threaded his fingers through her hair, bring her even closer, and held her head in place, as he started to kiss her more firmly and more passionately.

Soon the kiss became more heated and passionate. Sue whimpered, as he coxed her mouth open under his own, and slipped his tongued passed her lips, to entangle with hers in her mouth.

Just as the kiss had started to get out of hand and become more heated, and hands started to explore heartedly, Johnny entered the lab. He cleared his throat loudly, gaining their attention. This caused Reed and Sue to break the kiss and pull away from each other. As if they had been burnt, that Johnny had used his powers on them.

Johnny beamed liked a loon, and clapped his hands together, and said “Oh, don’t stop on my account, please do continue. It’s about time Reed and you sis, stopped and realised you were still hot and sweet on each other.”

He concluded, as he turned to exit the lab. “All I’ve got to do is team up with Cassie, Corazon and Trey, and figure out how to get Capa and Mace to admit how they really feel about each other, and get it on.” And with that he left the lab, waving a hand over his shoulder as he went.

Now only Reed and Sue remained in the lab. Both were bright red in the face from embarrassment. They were also surprised, having expected Johnny to have made a big deal out of what he walked in on, and make fun of them. But no, he hadn’t done that.

After both had finally recovered their wits, and composed themselves, they proceeded to start testing and conducting physicals on Reed.
