" I cannot believe Hager is letting this happen " ; I ranted to Luke . " I hate him . And my family knew that he made a deal with the university . I didn't even get in on my own Luke ! That just sucks ! My achievements mean nothing ! " 

" I am sure that is not true babe . Your achievements are extraordinary " 

" And yet people just assume that I am a hazard . I am never going back home " 

" Okay . You Can stay here forever but I don't think Johnny will like that . Or Ben "
" Are you scared of them ? "

" They threatened me ! You dad is really chill and so is your mom but your uncles ? Honey , I dreamt of waking up on fire and screaming "

I laughed . " They are not that scary "

" To you ! "

I sighed.

" Don't be upset Stace , you are worth more than they can ever imagine "

I nodded .

The next day I was in my lab at the company with Booth  and Luke . While Luke was in the cafeteria getting us some snacks , Booth and I  were working on making the machine for the silver surfer .

" What is on your mind ? Speak it out . I can hear the wheels screeching in your head from here " ; Booth said .

" How is he alive ? How is Victor alive ? I thought I killed him ! "

" My hypothesis , when the entity passed over Latveria , I think it did something to his solidified state "

" I guess . Plus , I am sure there is some less barbaric way that we can communicate with the Silver Surfer . He knows me.  I sent him messages and he let me live and I just think that there is a connection . I got to have some of his powers "

" I don't think he wants to communicate " ; Booth said empathetic.

" And Booth is right . Another crater was just formed . This time in London " ; Hager entered the lab with Victor and Johnny . " How far are you with the machine ? "

" Get him out of my lab " ; I said pointing at Victor .

" This is his formula and he stays to make sure you don't mess up " ; Hager stated .

" So you are going to trust a psychopath who tried to kill me and establish a new world order over the girl who literally has always helped you ? Great ! Besides , I just need three more days "

" Good " ; and then walked out .

" Where are my parents and Ben ? " ; I asked Johnny .

" Went to London to inspect the new crater " ; he replied .

" Love what you have done with the place " ; Victor spoke up .

" Well , you gave it to me , so I changed it "
He tried to walk closer to me but Booth and Johnny immediately stood in from of me , guarding me from him .

" Take one more step and I will punch you again . Harder this time . I know how to injure a person in 34 different ways and make it look like a freak accident " ; Booth said coldly .

" And I will burn you and kill you in a matter of seconds and nobody will bat an eye . Stay away from her "

The doors opened again and Luke walked in .

" I see you confessed Stacey " ; Victor said .

" And I see you are still a pathetic man " ; Luke shot back .
