Fantastic Four Page #3

I have to meet Victor.

I'm really happy for you and Victor.

You're really happy

for me and Victor?

I can tell you guys are enjoying

what was the best part of our relationship.

- Which was?

- Passion.

For science.

You are such a dork, Reed.

You never got it,

and you never will.

- What did I say?

- Unless it's explained to you in quantum physics.

I just wanted

to let you know that I was-

It's been two years, and all you can say

is you're happy for me and some other guy?

Victor may be a lot of things

but at least he's not afraid

to fight for what he wants

It's nice to be wanted

sometimes, Reed...

to be seen and heard.

Look at me.

I can't.

- What do you mean, you can't? Look at me!

- Sue, look at your hands.

what just happened to me.

What?

[ Crackling ]

[ Grunting, Exhaling ]

It has to be the cloud.

It's fundamentally altered our D.N.A.

Let's not jump to conclusions.

We need a massive amount of evidence

before making that leap.

Whoa! Guys, look

[ Fingers Snap ]

Now, picture that, but everywhere!

It was everywhere!

What?

The cloud has fundamentally

altered our D.N.A.

reaction to exposure from the cloud
