Reed may not have been the most hilarious person, but his idea of a joke was putting Johnny in the bedroom next to Rebekah's. Finding herself famished after cleaning up, she walked through the entry corridor in a bathrobe, towel-drying her hair as the elevator doors opened. Out walked Victor, and Rebekah rose an eyebrow.
"Where can I find Susan?" Victor asked.
Rebekah lowered her towel and pointed down the hallway she came from. "Third door on the left."
Victor walked off, leaving Rebekah to watch him with confusion and discontent. She made her way to the kitchen, making a PB&J and eating it on her way back to her room. She licked the last bit of jelly off her fingers as she passed Johnny's room. She paused, then took a few steps back. His door was open, so she knocked lightly and pushed the door open even further.
"Johnny? You here?"
At no answer, Rebekah entered the room, internally groaning at the fact that this is the room with all of the old pictures. She noticed one picture in particular: the one of her and Johnny on her twenty-first birthday three years ago, right before the incident. Rebekah hadn't even noticed that Reed even took that picture. It's of the two of them on the balcony of her old apartment, staring at each other with grins on their faces. Rebekah picked it up, looking at how happy they were back then. If only she hadn't told him.
"Hey."
Rebekah whipped her head towards the speaker in the doorway. It's Johnny, only covered by a towel around his waist. Rebekah gulped and set the picture back down on the dresser.
"Um, the door was open..." She trailed off, becoming distracted at the sight of Johnny's bare chest. "I, uh, gotta go."
She ran out the door and into her room, leaning against the wall, her chest heaving. Why did she even go in there in the first place?
The lights flickered overhead, causing her to look up. Strange.
Rebekah avoided Johnny for the rest of the night. But the next day, she joined Reed and Sue to run some tests on Johnny. Reed turned on some machines and Johnny caught on fire inside the titanium chamber.
