Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer Page #3

as long as we do what we do.

How could we possibly

raise a family like this?

I'm gonna go check on Johnny.

Johnny?

Hey, are you all right, pal?

Are you all right?

Johnny?

Johnny, are you okay?

I don't know. I've been feeling really

strange since my run-in with surfer boy.

Maybe we should get you checked out.

- Why did you do that?

- I didn't do anything!

Stop, drop and roll!

Stop, drop and roll!

Oh, my God, Sue! Just--

Just hang on! I'll get you, okay?

Flame on!

Hey, watch it.

Reed!

Reed! Reed!

- Help!

- Sue?

I'm on fire!

- Sue! What's going on?

- I'm on fire!

- You're on fire!

- You think?

- Hold on!

- Pull me in!

Hey, it's the Human Torch!

Johnny!

- I'm not Johnny!

- Sue, how did this happen?

I touched Johnny, and then this.

- Where is Johnny?

- Here.

Try it again.

- Nice.

- There you go.

Hey, get out of there.

Sue, your clothes.

Why does this always happen to me?

All of Sue's results are normal.

But Johnny's....

Johnny's are what?

Your encounter with the Surfer put your

molecules in a constant state of flux.

Is that bad?

It caused you to temporarily

switch powers with Sue.

- I'd like to run more tests and--

- Want a volunteer?

- No, no, hey!

- No, no, no!

No, no, hey! This is serious!

I just wanted to give him a hug.

We don't know the extent

of his condition.

It could be progressive.

- lt could be fun.

- No, Ben!

Ben!

Hey. Hey, it's me! I'm back!

Oh, my God!

Come on!

We just said this is serious!

Oh, yeah, serious.

Oh, you gotta be kidding me!

- Hey, not bad.

- lncredible.

- You better be able to fix this!

- I'm right on it.

- Ben, stop it!

- I see why you like that.

Oh, no, no, no.

Crap.

That's not funny. What am l

supposed to do in the meantime?

Just try to keep

your distance from us.

You and me are gonna be spending

a whole lot of time together, pal!

My inside sources tell me

unlucky bride-to-be Sue Storm...

...turned invisible

and is staying that way...

...after yesterday's

embarrassing fiasco.

Next, the Invisible Woman 's

greatest fashion blunders...

...and an impromptu dance routine

from former scientist Reed Richards.

Why do you keep watching this?

Just ignore it.

I can't ignore it, Reed.

There's no getting away from it!

- I believe there is.

- How?

See? No answer.

Yes, there is.

What if, after this crisis is over...

-...we leave it all behind?

- What are you talking about?

We move out of the Baxter Building.

I'll take a teaching position

somewhere.

Get back to my research.

The two of us will live our lives

and raise a family, like normal people.

You would do that?

Nothing is more important to me

than our future together.

Oh, thank you.

What about Ben and Johnny?

They'll understand.

Besides, Johnny's always

been more of a solo act.

Let's not mention it to them yet.

Johnny's got enough to worry about

as it is, with his power problems.

You've been busy, my friend.

Your talents are impressive.

Can you understand what I'm saying?

Together, we could be unstoppable.

Anything would be ours for the taking.

All that you know is at an end.

What do you mean by that?

Wait! I said, wait!

They're breaking up the team.

Reed and Sue, I overheard them.

They want a nice, normal,

boring-ass life.

- No more Fantastic Four.

- Well...

...what do we do?

Keep going, just the two of us?

And call ourselves what?

The Dynamic Duo?

When were they gonna tell us?

They'll tell you when they're ready.

It's their decision, not yours.

You can't be mad at them

for doing what makes them happy.

Guys.

We've got a serious problem.

I cross-referenced the Surfer's radiation

through every astronomical database.

Altair 7, Rigel 3, Vega 6.

- He's been to all these planets?

- And now they're lifeless.

Barren. Some even shattered.

Everywhere the Surfer goes,

eight days later, the planet dies.

How are we gonna stop him?

We don't even know where he is.

What about the craters?

They appear in a numerical sequence.

The last crater was formed

in Greenland...

...so the next in the sequence

should be...

...latitude 51 degrees,

...Iongitude zero degrees,

seven minutes west.

When he surfaces, move the fight

away from the crowd.

He's too fast to contain.

When I see silver, I'm hitting him!

You can't do that. We stick to the plan

and work as a team.

Oh, we're a team now?

News to me.

- What are you talking about?

- You know what.

We were gonna tell you.

- When? When you moved our stuff out?

- Johnny, this isn't a good time.

Kid's got a point, Reed.

You should have told us.

That's enough!

We'll talk about this later.

What the hell is wrong

with you people?

It's a whirlpool!

Oh, my God.

What is that?

Get out! Get out!

Don't let go!

- Move!

- Come on! Go!

No, Johnny!

Guys? What are you doing?

Ben! Lift it higher!

I'll try.

Sue!

Stay back,

before you get somebody killed.

Oh, my God.

What the hell was that?

We'll make adjustments.

Next time, we'll be ready.

Next time? There's no next time.

You can't handle this alone.

I'm bringing in help.

Bringing in soldiers and weaponry

will put innocent people in danger.

No more than you already have.

Victor?

What's the matter?

Afraid of ghosts?

- Look out!

- Don't move!

Since you're a ghost,

you won't mind if I break your neck.

- Let him go.

- You know who that is?

Victor von Doom.

He's here under my orders.

Ben, let him go.

How is this possible?

How are you still alive?

No thanks to you four,

that's for certain.

Von Doom's made contact with the

alien. He's got valuable information.

Information that might just

help save the planet.

Now let's be clear about this...

...shall we? I hate you.

All of you.

But the world's at stake and we

need to work together to survive.

General, we know firsthand, you trust

Victor and you're gonna regret it.

So far, the only one I've regretted

trusting here is you, Richards.

Reed, don't agree to this.

Let's see what he's got.

I made a detailed recording

of our little encounter.

All that you know is at an end.

Well?

I like the part where

he knocks you on your ass.

Look at where the energy levels surge

when he attacks me.

There? See what happened?

The energy was channeled through him,

but it originated from his board.

If we can separate him from the board,

we can cut off his power completely.

- That's what we have to do.

- How?

If I knew that,

I wouldn't need you people, would l?

You two should

get started right away.

I'm glad we have the opportunity

to collaborate again.

I'll try to talk slowly

so you can keep up.

How can we be working

on the same side as Victor?

You got me. Things were simpler

when I could just whale on the guy.

What's he doing? A fire.

Look at that.

I'll pay for that.

I'll tell you, Ben, I'm starting

to feel like a complete screw-up.

Hey, hey, you're not

a complete screw-up.

Thank you.

Look, kid, it's out of our hands.

It's up to the eggheads now.

You think Reed's right about
