Fantastic 4 (C) Marvel
Allyson Richards (C) Me

It has been a long night for the Fantastic Four team... Ben went out to see Alicia and stay over at her place for the night. Sue and Reed were talking in the lab for most of the night as Allyson spoke to Victor on her phone in the room that they provided for her to sleep in but she wasn't in her pajamas yet but was laying on the bed, talking to Victor on the phone, "What are you doing?" she asked softly, sounding like she had a lot of things on her mind.

Victor's voice came through, "Looking at the stock ratings." He answered, seeming to pay more attention to it than her and sounded more serious than usual.

She hmmed, wishing he would pay more attention to her than that but she decided to date a business man and knew it wasn't going to be easy, "Are they going up?" she asked gently, turning on her side.

He answered sternly, "Sky high." He stated, not being very social with his girlfriend.

She sighed, "Could you take your attention off of that for a moment?" she asked gently, hoping he would and make her feel better.

Victor didn't sound thrilled when he said, "Alright. What's on your mind?" he asked like he had dropped everything.

Allyson hmmed, "I don't know... a lot. I miss you..." she frowned, sitting up as she held her head, "I feel... empty." She stopped when she heard a sound in the back round that didn't sound very nice, "What was that?" she asked curiously with her eyebrows furrowed together in mystery.

His voice sounded very convincing when he said, "Oh, it was nothing," but it didn't sound convincing enough but for Allyson... it was. "Are you alright?" he asked softly in his loving tone.

She paused for a moment before answering confidently, "Yes, I'm fine. I'm sorry to disturb you during work." She apologized.

His voice sounded like it was a grin, "Don't worry, darling. You know I always have time for you,"

She smiled, looking down at her shuffling feet, "I know. But I should let you go so you can continue. I love you, Victor," she whispered the last part.

"Right back at you," he answered before hanging up.

Allyson flipped her phone closed, looking to the side with her eyes before flipping her hair out of her face and looking up, taking a deep breath before getting up to walk around.

Reed was pacing back and forth somewhat before leaning back against Fantastic Four car, "I don't know what to do, Sue... she obviously believes Victor so much that she's blinded from the truth." He was so worried that he had his thumb on his lips when he was in thinking mode.

Sue let out a sigh, getting up from the chair and walked over to Reed, "She will come around. In the mean time, we need to watch over her and make sure that she doesn't do anything reckless." She answered in a soft voice yet serious and comforting with confidence.

"But what if she does and I..." his voice trailed off, looking into Sue's eyes, "I can't lose her." He said with his voice full of worry and concern.

Sue wrapped her arms around his upper torso, laying her head on his shoulder, "I know," she whispered as she felt Reed's arms wrap around her waist.

What they didn't know nor see was Allyson in the darkness, watching them but also heard their entire conversation. Her eyes lowered before walking to the balcony, needing to be alone for a little while but that loneliness wasn't about to last...

She walked out of the back door, sitting in the chair while looking up at the stars.

In a few minutes time... she heard a flame distinguish, "Hello Johnny," she said in a gentle voice but didn't sound very happy to see him.

Johnny looked toward her as he crossed his arms, walking over and leaned against the ledge in front of her, "I want to apologize for earlier. It wasn't right for me to take out my problems on you." He apologized sincerely.

Allyson looked up into his blue eyes, "It's alright. We all get that way at one time or another." She looked toward the stars again.

He smirked, uncrossing his arms as he walked over to her like a hunter walking over toward it's prey, "Let's kiss and make up!" he placed his hands on the arm rests of the chair, leaning into her face about to kiss her when...

She slapped him across the face, "You never changed, have you?" she spat, not getting up from the chair but had a pissed off look on her face.

He smiled, saying in a definite tone, "Never." He leaned into her face, trying to kiss her again.

She pushed him away with her hands, getting up from her chair, "Go kiss the mirror! After all... the only pleasure you get from is you," she insulted, eyes flaring.

Johnny grinned, "Only from the sight of you, I do," he fought back but it was more of a compliment than an insult.

But Allyson wasn't complimented at all... it pissed her off as she hmphed, storming off back into the house.

He grinned, "Before this month is through, we will kiss! Or better yet... get together!" he yelled after her.

She kept walking away and was out of sight, back into the room that Reed provided for her to stay in while she was there, "Ugh! That egotistic maniac... UGH!" she picked up a pillow and threw it at the wall.

Allyson could not believe that Johnny was after her again, especially after that sentimental apology that he gave her. What an idiot...
