Hi my name is Ariana Grimm and I am 22 years-old and I live in the Baxter Building, in New-York with my Brother, Ben Grimm and Best friend, Reed Richards. Yes Reed Richards the genius! Ben, Reed and I were standing outside Victors building staring at a huge statue of Victor. "High open space, exposed structural elements. Obviously aimed at first time visitors to create feelings of..smallness and inadequacy!" Reed explained.
"Good thing it isn't working" I answered
"Reed what are we doing here? This guys is fast-food, strip-mall science.." My brother asked.
"In case you forgot this wasn't our first stop, in case you forgot NASA-" Oh here we go again about NASA, Yes we went to NASA and yes we failed, so our last choice was Victor.
"Plus Victor's not that bad, he's just a little....larger than life" Reed said We made our way inside the building and my god was Reed not kidding when he said larger than life. We walked into Victor's office and we started our presentation.
"Our research suggests that exposure to high energy cosmic storm, born on solar wind, might have triggered the evolution of early planetary life. In six weeks another cloud with the same element profile will pass earth's orbit, a study conducted in space could fundamentally advance our knowledge about the structure of the human genome, cure countless diseases, extend human life, give kids a chance to live longer, stronger, healthier.."
"Turn it off, please" Victor rudely interrupted.
"But Victor, you haven't let him explain our proposal properly" I said
"No I think he has, same old Reed, always stretching, reaching for the stars with the weight of the world on his back. But dreams don't pay the bills do they?" He said as he threw a magazine with Reed on the cover. It read 'Reed Richards: Bankrupt',
"You remember when you were in school, you talked about working together" I said looked over to Reed, He smiled
"Well that's what I was about to explain." Reed said as he pressed a button for the hologram to change
"The storm is deadly, but the shields on you station's control room are designed to protect occupants inside." Reed continued.
"So it's not just my money you want. It's my toys" said Victor, Reed and I shrugged our shoulders.
"Tell me, if NASA doesn't trust you then why should I?" asked Victor, I guess NASA told him about our attempt with them
"Well that's my job, to stay a step ahead! To know what other men don't" Victor laughed as he got out of his chair and made his way towards us
"I can't take this" My brother whispered to Reed and I.
"Ben, this is business, just work" Reed explained.
"He's right Ben, it is just business!" A voice said behind us. Oh My Gosh Susie, I haven't seen her for soooo long, she is one of my best-friends
"I think you know my Director of Genetic Research, Susan Storm" Reed then turned around.
"One more thing he's got" Ben whispered!
"Hey, Susie"
"Hey" Sue answered as she went to hug Ben
"Oh My Gosh Sue, I haven't seen you for so long, I've missed you soo much, How are You?" I said and gave her a huge hug
"Oh My God Hi Ari, I've missed you too, I'm great, how are you?"
"I'm Great"
"How have you been?" Reed asked as Susie and I let go of our hug
"Never been better" Sue answered and she held out her hand for Reed to shake.
