Sitting in the Royal bed chamber in Atillian, Medusa is before her vanity mirror, a servant brushes her long scarlet tresses, when suddenly Lockjaw appears. The giant dog belonging to the Queen's sister Crystal has become a valued member of the Royal Family, seemingly jumping in at the very last moment to whisk them away from some danger or another. With Crystal currently on Earth, his appearance in the chambers is usually an alarm for something, though the Queen could not speak canine, she could only trust the dog to take her where she's needed. Getting up from the chair, she goes over and touches the dog's head, and is transported away from Atillian. A tear in the space time fabric appears in a flash, and Medusa steps into the Baxter Building, setting off internal alarms instantly. Medusa's been here before, and recognizes it immediately, suddenly worried for her sister, as she knew Crystal and Luna were arranging a play-date with Sue, Franklin, and the baby. Lockjaw scratches at a metal door with a soft whimper drawing her attention where it was needed. Through a small glass window Medusa could see all of them, passed out on the floor! A quick look at the door revealed no conventional lock, but a keypad on the wall. Medusa types in her own security code, but it does no good, Sue locked the door from the inside, and the Lady of the house has much higher clearance.
Why would she lock them all inside? It makes no sense.
Unable to do anything, with all the alarms from her entrance into the building still sounding, Medusa stood waiting for the rest of the team to arrive, hoping there were others home.
I suppose Triton was right in suggesting I temporarly abandon my disguise. It would only have hampered my movements... Besides: anyone scaling the Baxter Building by her hair is bound to attract attention no matter what she's wearing.

It had been a fascinating weekend for Reed Richards, leader of the world-renowned Fantastic Four. Or as fascinating a weekend can be for anyone who finds joy in attending a Leaders in Science convention. Three days straight of demonstrations, exhibits, and pow-wows. Great for anyone who wants to make a good name for themselves among the top scientists in their respected fields. Or for some, a chance to show off and gain praise. Reed, on the other hand, just enjoys examining the displays and hearing the lectures. He even gives slight hints on how to improve their models, since usually half the exhibits on display are things he has either already discovered or gone beyond.
Still, all the conventions and meeting of minds could never compare to the adventures that he and his family have experienced through the years. Nor could they beat the feeling of coming home after being away from his wife and children. Atleast, it would, if it wasn't such an emergency. Just as he was heading home, a remote alarm sounded in his personal Fantasticar, alerting him that there is a problem happening at the Baxter Building. This sent Reed in to a fury, as he knew that not only were his family in the building, but so were members of the Inhuman Royal Family.
Reed finally made his way back to the Baxter Building and entered through the roof entrance. He immediately connected to the inner network for the building through one of the display panels, and shut off the alarms. He then found that a powerful, experimental gas had been released. The section that was quarantined off was Lab B, one floor down. He quickly made his way down to Lab B, only to find Lockjaw and Medusa, Queen of the Inhumans, standing outside the quarantined room. He moved to the window opening and saw his wife and children, as well as Crystal and her daughter Luna, unconsciouses on the floor.
"I was alerted the moment the alarms went off. The network says that an experimental gas was released into the room. I'll have to decontaminate the room before we can even get to them."
Stretching over to another panels, he quickly accessed the ventilation system from within Lab B and began sucking the toxic gas. The gas is vented to a separated container, designed for holding non-solid materials, on the other side of the lab. After several minutes of venting, the room was finally clear of danger, so Reed stretched back to the entrance and entered his personal code. He raced over to his wife and children to see if they were still breathing. Only a small bit of relief came for knowing they were still alive, for he was now worried as to what happened to case this, what gas was released, and how it will effect Sue, Crystal and the kids.
"If you need me, I'll be in my lab for the next few weeks."

Lets see, no super villains threatening world piece, large scale alien invasions, or wacko science experiements...and its Friday night to boot. Sounds like a chance for Superhero Superstar Johnny Storm to hit the town, hopefully with one of the Big Apple's most beautiful women on his arm...
God I love being a public hero. You can't really beat having this level of noteriety AND fan love. Its like being a rockstar without the touring...well aside from the odd jaunts to the Negative Zone, or Skrull Homeworld...but hey, I still get to sleep in my own bed...maybe with a little bit of company...
Speaking of which, I guess I ought to find a date for tonight. Was a time that we swinging bachelors went with the classy leather black book...but thats the same time where Bell Bottoms were in fashion, and disco ruled the Earth. Nowadays, the more styling approach is to store your girlfriends in a shiny blackberry...pass protected so nobody goes digging naturally.
Tech stuff is more Reed's speed than mine, but this little baby is as easy as they come, making it a snap to pull up the primary index, and start sorting through eligible babes. Lets see Alice, Anna, Anya, Annette....so many choices...
Of course, I could always try asking Crytal out, what with her being upstairs and all, but really, it only takes getting dumped five or six times to get it through your head not to date certain...
As if on cue to the though I hear the sirens go off. Dating is forgotten as I toss the PDA on my bed, and flame on, making a beeline through the autodoor, and then down the cooridor, making light a flare for the lab section that the alarm identifies as the source of the breach. What I find when I get there isn't really reassuring....
Even ignoring the fact that Medusa has been out to knock my block off half the times she's popped in, its never a good sign to see Reed looking as frantic as he is. I listen to what he has to say, and then follow him, looking over Sue and the kids, examing them both to try and see some sign of whats going on...drawing a complete blank on that.
I move over to Crystal, checking her out as I direct my attention to Reed, hoping that maybe he's got a little better idea whats up than I do.
"How the hell did these guys get stuck in here, and wheres the gas from? I don't remember anything about Sue dealing with this kinda crap...and she sure as hell wouldn't have the kids or Crystal in here if she thought it was dangerous."

"Sheesh! Give me Galactus any day!"
Ben, dressed in his overcoat and fedora, ignored with effort the rocks and tomatoes with which he was regularly pelted as he walked out of Yancy Street. Catcalls followed from behind fences and out of windows.
"Ya cowards! Not one a ya is worth the time it takes me to scrape ya off my foot after I kick you to the Moon!"
Still, he smiled as he said it. The Thing spent a lot of time around the rich, famous and powerful. As an international celebrity he spent a fair bit of time talking to people he could not understand. To top it off, his best friend barely spoke English, filled as his talk always was of 'science-ese'. Thus, Ben liked to come home to Yancy Street simply to feel like he belonged, even as the Gang tried desperately, though not really, to make him feel like he did not.
Ben pulled his pogo plane from it's regular hiding spot in a secluded ally and took off, still eating the last slice of pizza from his favorite neighborhood parlor. He saw on the screen that he had missed an emergency, but that the other three were on the scene.
"Still, you never know when a pair of rocky fists might be needed to save the day"
Ben piloted the plane as fast as it would go within the city limits and quickly landed within the Baxter Building. In no time he was with the rest of the team, and a few Inhuman guests as well.
So, what's all the hubbub, Bub?
Ben asked the question of Reed as he walked in. He saw Sue and the rest on the floor, but Reed was not frantic and so he knew they must not be in any immediate danger.
He nodded and smiled at Medusa and then braced himself for the barrage of face-licking and pawing he knew was coming from Lockjaw.

Reed shows up first, as expected, taking a moment's look at the situation before explaining his procedure to me. If it were anyone else I would promptly be demanding information, suspecting an attack on the Royal Family not an accident, But His wife and children are in there with my own, he's going to do what he can to help, and my demanding answers now would only keep urgent care from getting to them. He drains the gas from the room, making it safe for us to enter, and I run to my Sister and niece right away, making sure that they are still alive before anything else. I give Johnny a grim look as he tends to my sister, moving to Luna, as he asks the very questions on the tip of my tongue, in probably a less harsh and more colorful way than I would have. Ben comes in, his smile so genuine the situation doesn't seem so bleak, Lockjaw running to greet our friend with enthusiasm.
I also would like to know why our family would be playing around dangerous gas. Is this truly an incident, or the design of our enemies?
Having played victim too many times to other's mind controls, I know how things may not be as they seem...

At the moment, Reed was only able to ascertain that Sue, Crystal, and the kids were still alive, judging by their heart-rate and breathing. It still didn't alleviate him of his concern for his fallen family and friends. Though he didn't show it in his face, his mind was already swirling in a sea of possibilities, cascaded with numerous reasons as to how and why this could have happened. Many, he feared, were far too dangerous and fearful for him to contemplate. So for the moment, he tried to focus his thoughts on positives, whatever they may be. And he was fortunate, as the other two member of the fabled Fantastic Four, Johnny and Ben, had entered the lab. They, along with Medusa, were eager to find answers as to what had befallen their loved ones. And for the moment, Reed had none.
"I'm not sure. At the moment, everyone seems to be alright, but in order to know what we're dealing with, we'll have to get them to the infirmary."
Reed stretched his hand to a near by access panel and quick typed in a command sequence that allowed a hatch to open over head. Out of the hatch, came five circular devices, each now hovering over a different unconscious body. Reed then activated each device, causing them to create an invisible bubble around each person, and then used a form of negative, polarize energy to allow each of them to float in mid-air.
"Everyone, help me get them into the infirmary, quickly."
Reed then quickly, yet cautiously, pushes his wife Sue out of the laboratory, down the hallway, and to a lift that lowered all of them down to one of the more publicly accessible areas. There, he lead them to the infirmary, where he places Sue and the others on to a bed. Once in place, he deactivated the devices holding them in air, allowing their unconscious bodied to now rest comfortably, while the devices disappeared in to another hatch in the ceiling. After few moments for the specially designed machines in the room to warm up, Reed proceeded to scan each person, his family first, then with the proper adjustments, Crystal and her daughter Luna. It takes Reed a few minutes to processes and compare the data, and come to a conclusion.
"Fascinating. As far as I know, whatever happened to them, this was not intentional. Here, I'll try to explain."
Switching on the larger monitor for all the others to see, Reed begins typing out a sequence of actions in to the computer in rapid speed, creating a type of simulation to better illustrate his point.
"Now what your seeing now, is a blood vessel, magnetized several times. You can see the steady flow of blood coursing through it, providing the body with oxygen and nutrients need to for any humanoid. Now we enter are mystery gas..."
With a few more keystrokes, he provides the visual of a type of blue-enzyme, entering the blood stream. Then, the blood flow begins to slow down, showing the circular shape of the red blood cells more clearly.
"What you just saw, was a chemical that I was working on awhile back. It's a type of sleep drug, designed to slow the blood flow. This would allow not only slow someone's heart-rate, but also restrict the flow of testosterone. I was creating it as a way of neutralizing the Hulk. The problem was, the solution was far to weak to truly affect his circulatory system. But unfortunately, it's powerful enough to cause a normal human being to slip into a coma."
At this point, Reed shuts of the monitor and steps away from the computer. He moves towards his wife and gazes at her, trying to keep a cool domineer. This was a serious situation, but not one for losing one's head. He was a leader, and needed to keep control of the situation.
"For the time being, they need to remain here so I can keep an eye on their progress, and try to find a way to cure them."
Though he is in a panic, his voice does not faultier. He believes in the words he uses, and knows that he can find a way to help them. If not for the fact that he is considered to be the smartest man in the world, then it is as a husband, and a father, determined to save his family.
"If you need me, I'll be in my lab for the next few weeks."

It takes him a moment, but Reed pulls through as usual with the techno wizardy as usual, producing some sort of anti grav units to take care of the fam, so we can get them to the med bay. When he grabs Sue, that leaves me with three others to choose from, so I take Franklin, pushing him along behind Reed, and resisting the urge to flame on, and jet all the way there.
I'm pretty clear on where the med bay is, but its still nice to be chasin after a guy who spends like half his time there...Hate to lose an ounce of time tendin to these guys.
I put Franklin on one of the other beds, and busy myself as best I can with the basic medical junk while Reed does the high tech stuff. Just the basic essentials, blood pressure, heart rate, that kinda stuff.
Reed manages to fill us in on the details for this thing, explainin that the gas is some kinda thing he cooked up to make Mr Angry Man stay happy, which would be cool...if ya know, it hadn't escaped and fumigated half the fantastic fam.
Needless to say, its not exactly the kinda thing you like hearing about your family.
"So let me see if I get this straight, Sue managed to get herself dosed with Hyper Ny-Quil and now she and the rest of the fam are out, till you and your superbrain can figure out what needs doing to fix it...How the Hell did this happen? I mean, you two keep all your super tech under lock and key like 24/7. Hell, the Toaster probably has biometrics. Was it an accidental leak, or did someone do this to them? Lotta things not really adding up fearless leader."

Ben was interrupted from making any further inquiries into the situation by a monstrous slobbering Inhuman dog jumping up onto him licking and wagging it's gigantic tail. He knew Lockjaw 'belonged' to Crystal, but of course an intelligent, reality-warping dog really belonged to itself. Since it decided who it was going to hang out with and for what duration, sometimes Ben thought that he and Crystal actually belonged to Lockjaw.
Easy boy, good mutt. Hold on there fella, I gotta deal with this newest mess. Down Lock, good boy. Heh heh.
Ben rubbed the massive hound behind it's ears a few more times and then gathered the remaining three hovering medi-globes of Crystal, Luna and the baby and corralled them into the med-bay with the rest. He then got down on one knee and watched and listened to the requisite mumbo-jumbo as he rubbed under Lockjaw's neck gently. Once Reed and Johnny had spoken, Ben felt compelled to join in.
Fer once the Matchstick is making some sense. You may have too many gizmos around here for anybody but Machine Man to really ever relax, but you always got 'em on a real short leash. Reed, your stuff never just goes 'poof' or just starts chasing us around the building....well almost never.
Ben got up to finish his sentence, looking around and then focusing on Reed.
No, this seems more like another danged attack to me. Who from our collection of crumb-bums would have it in for both the FF and the Inhumans, know Crystal was visitin',and know both what your fancy gas was AND how to bypass your security measures to douse Suzie and the rest with it? Answer that question, and we got our louse.

Reed moves swiftly, the touch of a button summoning transports for them all, lifting them into the air. He takes Sue, Johnny taking Franklin, and as Ben has taken the rest of the family on his own, I follow them all to the Infirmary. It's been a long time since I walked these halls, but my memory shows things to be in about the same places they always have been in, if not even more modern looking than I remember. Once we are all in the infirmary, our wounded resting comfortably I try and wait as patiently as possible for him to get on with his work. I am not known for being a patient woman. When he says it's unintentional, I let my breath out, though I wasn't even aware I had been holding it back. He gives us computer visuals to speed his explanation up, and I give him my undivided attention. At the end of his explanation a moment of true feeling shows on him, but a leader in his own right he keeps himself together. Johnny and Ben both speak up, their words echoing my thoughts. But none of the information seems to add up.
No one knew Crystal would be here today, except for the Royal Family, and your own. The safety of our Children is a high priority... it is not basic information to be passed on.
I suppose Triton was right in suggesting I temporarly abandon my disguise. It would only have hampered my movements... Besides: anyone scaling the Baxter Building by her hair is bound to attract attention no matter what she's wearing.

Reed was now lost in a sea of equations and probabilities, as he stood over his wife Susan. The feeling was almost second nature to him. Constantly searching for answers through mathematical reasoning. A feeling that he is pulled out of when he hears Johnny and Ben voice their opinions. They both believe the that there was an attack on the Baxter Building. A possibility that he would agree with, if he didn't know better. Medusa voiced her opinion as well, providing a strong piece of evidence to help discredit the attack theory
"Your right, your highness. No one could have known that your family was visiting today, because we take great care to keep such information secret. Though I would side with you two on the theory that the building was attack, I think I have evidences to say the contrary."
He then leaves his wife's side, and instead stands next to his son Richard.
"You see, while we were scrambling to get to Sue and the others, we all overlooked something in the hallway. Even I missed it, until we moved everyone to the infirmary. Allow the wall next to the lab door's, there is a hole where a piece of wall should be. I didn't get a good look inside the hole, but I remember now that there was a smudge along the edge of the holes, cause by this."
At that cue, Reed holds up his son's hand, revealing the brown sustains covering his fingers.
"Peanut butter. Smooth-style peanut butter. It would seem that Franklin got bored and decided to visit my lab. Naturally such a way in would cause the system's alerts to sound Crystal and Sue to the lab. The rest, I'm afraid can only be answered by the people laying in front of you."
After he put his son's arm down, Reed moved to a corner, were there were several beakers of different chemicals sitting. He was a multi-tasker, able to do many different things at once. So while he was explaining his peanut butter theory, he had come up with a possible way to reverse the enzymes affects on people.
After several minutes of mixing different chemicals into one, he then moved over to Susan's table again, trying to hold the fear anxiety behind a stern, focused facade. After the compound is attached to an IV unit, he turns to Ben, Johnny and Medusa again.
"Theoretically, this serum will counter-act the gas. But since we have no other way to test if this will work or not, we have no other choice. Once it has had a chance to circulate through her system, we should see results."
What he doesn't tell them, is that the is a good chance that the compound could also give Susan a violent seizer, causing several damage to her mind and body, or even cause her to lose her life. Reed hated that thought with ever fiber of his being, knowing that there had to be another way. But he tries to rationalize it as best he could in his mind. He knew that given the chose, Sue would willingly take the serum, in the hopes of saving the others. Now all he and the other could do is wait and watch for any sighs of life: a foot twitching, a finger flicking, an eyebrow squinting. Anything to show that she was coming out of her coma.
Seconds turned into minutes, and minutes became an eternity. For a long time, there was no signs of improvement....until Reed heard a soft moan, barely registrable to anyone who wasn't listening. He leans in closer to his wife, anxiously waiting for something to happen.
"Susan? Susan, can you hear me?

Have you ever had a really bad nightmare that totally scared the life out of you? or may the ground from under you gives waya dn you are falling thorught the darkeness. I see Reed, the children, Johnny and Ben I also see Crystal, Luna and Medusa my closest friends fading from my sight.
Then I see my father appear in my sight, no I can't be dead its not my time. I can't leave my family and friends they all need especially Reed, Franklin, Valerie, Johnny and Ben they are my family how would they go on in life without me? I can't see how Reed would be able to raise the children without a mother as she spends so much time in his lab, I guess that he would have to limit his time in the lab and spend the much needed time with the children. I can't even see Johnny helping Reed with the children, then again a true brother would step in and try to help Reed, Ben hemight be scared that he would hurt the children, but I've seen him with children he would be a great friend to the children.
As I struggle to come back to my senses, I hear a voice in the distance calling me and the voice sounds worried for me, I know the voice its Reed who is calling me, this makes me fight even harder his voice is getting closer and louder. I hear other voices I know they are Johnny, Ben and Medusa. I don't hear her frankling or Valerie; oh God please let Frankling and Valerie be okay.
I have to know if the children are okay, trying to open my eyes, they will not open and panic ripples through my body and my body starts to shake with fear. Sue calm down there is no need to panic Reed will not let anything happened to the children if anything he is doing his best to help them as well for you just relax for a moment. My body relaxes and I open my eyes they are blurry for a couple of moments until I can focus them in, seeing Reed standing next to me, turning my head towards Johnny he is with Franklin and I don't see him moving then I see Ben with Valerie and I don't see her moving either.
Sitting up and I look to my daughter, as I sit up the room starts to spin and my head starts to hurt closing my eyes bringing bothmy hands up to the side of my head holding it for a moment lying bakc down opening my eyes gain and looking at Reed trying to speak my voice is so low it was barely notiecable, "children okay?" A tear slides down my cheek as I look towards my son and daughter.
