Snow on the Beach - Johnny Storm x Reader

Warnings: Fluff! Language!

It wasn't unusual for Johnny to be stopped in the street for autographs and photos, in fact, he spent many hours perfecting his signature for the exact reason. Not that he would ever admit that to anyone.

He was currently surrounded by a group of girls who wanted photos and were throwing compliments his way. He was just posing for a photo when he felt a chill run down his spine, one that made him instantly stand to attention. He looked over his shoulder to see if there was anyone standing behind him but there wasn't. However just as he was turning back towards the camera he heard someone shouting.

"Hey! Stop him! He took my purse!"

Johnny turns just as a man holding a woman's purse ran past the group "sorry ladies, duty calls" Johnny apologises before running after the thief.

Johnny chases him down the street, slowly gaining on the man when he turned into an alleyway. Johnny follows after him and was about to use his powers to get the man to stop when the man slipped landing on his back with a painful thud.

The man was still groaning in pain as Johnny walked over to him, he was just a short distance from the man when he heard hissing under his feet. Glancing down he could see the puddle he was standing in sizzling, but what was really strange about it was that the rims of the puddle were quickly melting ice. Johnny blinks a couple of times in confusion, the ice already melted before he could confirm if he was just seeing things. But it must have been ice the thief slipped on, Johnny couldn't see anything else.

The thief groans loudly again, slowly pushing himself back to his feet, reminding Johnny why he was even here "hey stop!" He shouts flames appearing on his hands.

The thief's eyes widen as he looks up at Johnny, quickly tossing the purse to him and holding up his hands in surrender. NYPD soon run into the alley and arrest the thief.

"Thank you for stopping him," the officer says holding out his hand.

"Yeah sure, all in a day's work" Johnny mutters passing the purse to him, his mind still preoccupied with the ice.

He'd felt a chill right before this all happened, what if that was somehow connected? What if there was someone trying to warn him? Someone with powers opposite to his, ice instead of fire.

"I gotta go," Johnny says "flame on" he quickly takes off heading straight to the Baxter building, if anyone could work this out, it was going to be Reed.

When he arrives he wastes no time, walking straight into the lab where everyone else already was "the weirdest thing just happened to me"

"Did a girl turn you down?" Ben huffs as he eats some chips.

"No, I felt this weird chill down my back and then a thief runs past me, I chased after him but before I could even do anything he slipped on something" Johnny explains.

"That's lucky" Reed comments not even looking away from his computer.

"Yeah but that's the weird part, I think it was ice he slipped on, I stepped on it and it melted almost instantly" Johnny recalls shaking his head still unable to understand it all.

"It couldn't have been ice, it's not cold enough" Sue points out crossing her arms over his chest.

"But it hasn't been raining either" Johnny argues "so where else would it have come from?"

"It might not have been water" Ben snorts making Sue groan in disgust.

"No I swear it was, I saw it melt, I think there might be someone out there with ice powers" Johnny swears.
