Smoke and Fire|| A Fantastic Four AU

When We First Met

I remember the night I was attacked in the woods, I remember the first transformation, it was rough, and now I fight for the defenseless against crime. Tonight wasn't much different. I had been with my techie brother in his lab as he was working on some tech that would allow me to transform without ripping my clothes.
"There it is. That should do it." He injected the biotech piece into my arm. "Alright, now try it." I transform into my wolf form. I watched as my brother took notes and analyzed my transformation. I sighed internally as he handed me a robe signaling the biotech piece needed a little altering as he started working out the coding. After a while, a series of tests and trial runs we decided to take a break. It wasn't too long after I heard a report on the police scanner I kept in my office. I looked at my brother.

"I got to go, let me know when it's ready?" He nodded as I grabbed my backpack finding somewhere to shift privately.

Already on the scene, the Fantastic Four were in the middle of fighting Dr. Doom when I showed up in wolf form.
"Uh, guys we may have a new problem." I could then see the concern on Johnny Storm's face, to reassure him that I was on their side I reached out and nudged my head against Johnny's leg hoping that would work, hesitant and confused Johnny reached out his hand putting it on my head; I could feel something different about his touch, it was almost like a link between our souls. 'HOLY SHIT!' I finally realized the situation, and without hesitation growling, I jumped Doom, biting him it was enough to injure him but that didn't stop him from retaliating.

"Ah Wolfie, has that brother of yours worked out the biotech? Tell him I said hi, will you." 'They never get my name right.' I continued attacking Doom, I looked at Johnny and internally groaned and then looked at Doom. Jumping at him again ripping a gash in his arm Johnny looked at Sue, Ben, and Reed with an eyebrow raised. Finally, I decided to try something, I focused all my power and mind as best as I could hoping my mind linking would be successful.
"Hey, hot stuff if you're done starring me down, could I get a little assistance? I'll explain later."
"Alright umm they might think I'm crazy, talking to myself or something, but how can we help?" As I was hoping, it worked. "Yeah, Suzy, I believe Flame Brain has officially lost his mind."
"Keep him distracted and tell Rocky and the other two, that all will be explained." Johnny tosses a fireball at Doom and suddenly I run off, looking at Sue as if to signal for her to follow.

"There will be explanations to follow. Just give him all you got, and Sue follow her." Reed looked at Johnny with an eyebrow up seeming a bit concerned. "I trust her." Sue follows me while the rest of them keep Doom distracted, I take that time to go and get the power dampener my brother Kayson built, Sue returns invisible as she tosses a cord at Doom, it latching to Doom's wrist, giving him a bit of a shock.

"Hmm, Kayson's work is improving." Doom groans.

"Sue turn up the voltage." I could tell Johnny was confused as he piled on the heat and Ben had Doom in a choke hold while Reed was intrigued at the machine my brother made. Ben let go of Doom when moments later Doom fell, hitting the ground as he was rendered unconscious. I took some time to go and transform back into my human form and grab the power-dampening handcuffs, locking them in place on Doom's wrists then pulling my short, blonde, purple, and pink hair into a tiny ponytail.

"Those should dampen his power until damage control gets here. I am also aware of the confusion, and you likely have a ton of questions."

"Who exactly are you?" Reed is the first to ask.

"I'm Blakeleigh Adams, part-time computer programmer, and full-time vigilante." I smile.

"I could hear your voice in my head when the wolf was around." Ben looks at Johnny like he's crazy.

"Hey, Flame Brain, have you lost it?" He rolls his eyes at him and throws a fireball at him.

"I can promise you; no one has lost their mind and yeah I have a lot of explaining to do about that, hot stuff." I then look at him with a grin.

"Kayson, is it ready?" I turn to ask my brother, Kayson for confirmation before shifting into my wolf form. Turning back my clothes fall to the ground with a bunch of mixed reactions.

"Woah!"

"I'm going to need therapy." Kayson groans as he, Ben, and Reed both looked away as Kayson handed me a change of clothes.

"Hey, my eyes are up here." I grin now completely dressed.

"You know if you both come back to my lab, let me run some tests, with your help-" Kayson looked at Reed a bit hesitant.
"I get full credit for my work and tech." Kayson reasons.

"That seems fair." Reed nods as I start thinking about all of this.

"Wait, so what exactly is the plan indefinitely?"
