Fire Gem

What the hell?!

After the "incident" on the bridge, the five were taken into a tent, set up by the police and firemen, to be examined and aided.

Elena was seated next to her uncle who glanced over at her. She softly smiled at him before leaning her head against his rocky shoulder, a gesture she's done for several years. They both stared at the ring that had been returned to him, "That was nana's right?" she softly asked peaking up at her uncle who nodded. He was shocked that she nuzzled closer to him, finding the position extremely comfortable. He smiled a bit, but it vanished as quickly as it came, sitting in silence for a moment, Ben looked at the ring and then at Elena making his heart lift a tiny bit. Sadly, the moment was broken by certain idiot.

"Where are your ears?" Ben and Elena glared up at Johnny as he gave Ben as serious look, his question wasn't a joke.

"Sir, there are some folks outside that want to talk to you," the five looked as they saw the chief of firemen walk into the tent. Reed glanced at the others, his eyes lingering on Susan. She quickly shook her head as he looked back at the firemen.

"We're not going public with this," Reed stated as the man gave him a very confused look, "We're scientists, not celebrities."

"It's too late for that, sir," the chief stated walking over to the television on the table and turned it on, the news please before them, "See that?" Susan and Reed both approached the screen with astounded looks on their faces, the description of them at the bottom of the screen. Elena and Johnny both stood to their feet as they walked to Reed and Susan and watched the news. The five of them read the description, the level of shock was rising, "That's what they're calling you," Elena felt her hands begin to shake, "The Fantastic Five."

"Cool!" Johnny quickly turned, wanting to face the media and without a second though, Elena grabbed his wrist, making him stop and look them.

"What do you think you're doing?" Susan asked him.

"I'm going to go talk to them!" he smiled.

"Wait!" Susan called out as she looked at her four friends, "We should think this through," she explained as Johnny struggled out of Elena's grip but failed.

Backing away, dragging Elena with him as he motioned towards the group, "Great! Brainstorm!" he headed out of the tent with Elena struggling to stop him.

"Johnny!" Susan yelled before sharing a look with Reed and Ben.

"Johnny, please!" Elena hissed when she felt his grip on her and purposely start bringing her along, now she was trying to get away from him.

"If you can't bet them, join them!" he smirked.

"Johnny!" he ignored his name as Susan, Reed and Ben quickly walked after him, "Get back here, right now!" Susan sternly muttered as Johnny glanced back at her and simply ignored her.

Finally the two stopped in front of the cameras and Johnny released Elena who had a feeling of fear sink into her. He raised his arms up to the crowd as they soaked him in and he smiled slightly, entertained by all the hype.

"Believe this?" Johnny asked as the three joined them, giving him a tired expression as Ben stood protectively behind Elena who was on Johnny's left.

The chief followed before walking in front of them looking at Reed mostly, "Which one of you is he leader?" he asked as Johnny puffed out his chest and placed his hands on his hip to make him look powerful.

"That'd be me," he said making the man and Elena chuckle.

"No, seriously," this brought out a slightly louder chuckle from Elena's lips as Johnny frowned. Susan glanced at Reed before nudging him forward slightly. He glanced back at her and saw the message clear as day. He hesitated, but looked at the chief before nodding his head.
