For Reed Richards, Susan Storm, Benjamin Grimm and Johnny Storm, an expedition into outer space is a dream come true. But when their shuttle collides with a treacherous black hole, they disappear. The years pass and in their absence, conspiracy theories have been abundant. But none of these theories could prepare the world for the truth. Exposure to cosmic radiation has forever altered the four explorers, granting them strange powers. And when they return to earth, nothing will ever be the same. This is an original story about The Fantastic Four. They and other Marvel trademarks do not belong to me and I take several liberties. I feel that The Fantastic Four doesn't get a lot of love and I wanted to change that by presenting how I envision their entry into the MCU would be. I hope you enjoy this series. Several historical details have been changed to fit this story. Please note that this is an installment in an ongoing series. Reading out of order may cause confusion. The reading order for the series is: -Worthy -Avengers: Some Assembly Required -Love You to Asgard and Back -Eternal Night -Avengers: Peace in Our Time -Avengers: More Than a Mortal -Fantastic Four -Avengers: Divided We Fall -Asgardian Twilight -Avengers: Destiny Arrives -Captain America: Love in a Time of Loss -Avengers: Whatever It Takes -Avengers: A Wedding At Last -Avengers: Vengeance -Avengers: A Darker Shade of Scarlet
