Fantastic Four Page #6

Help me!

Reed!

Ben!

Goodbye, Susan.

Ah!

Reed!

Is he dead?

If that thing's

still active, so is he.

We can't beat him.

He's stronger than any of us.

Yeah, he is.

But he's not stronger

than all of us.

Look, this place

gave him his powers...

but it gave us all of ours, too.

It's who we are now.

Maybe it's who

we're meant to be.

We opened this door,

we're gonna close it.

So, what's the plan?

Enough!

When your world is destroyed,

and I'm all that's left...

then it will be enough.

Always so smug,

thinking you were

smarter than me.

I am smarter than you.

Now!

Hey! It's clobbering time!

This better work.

No.

Let's get the hell out of here!

While the world may not know

what you did to save it...

The men and the women

in this room do.

And so does the President.

That said,

we'd like to continue

our existing relationship.

So, if we're all in agreement...

We're not.

Excuse me?

We're not remotely

"all in agreement."

We don't need you or anybody

else to keep an eye on us.

We just want a place

where we can work.

And whatever we come up with

belongs to us.

And what if we say no?

Say yes.

How much space

are we talking about?

A lot.

Whoa. Hey.

So, uh, I thought there were

gonna be four of you?

Oh, there is.

Labs are upstairs.

Engineering's on the south side

and Assembly's downstairs.

We've been operating out of

here for over 12 years, now.

Well, officially, that is.

But you still

won't find our name

on any government books.

Most people just refer

to this as, uh, Central City.

But call it whatever you want.

We work for you now.

Oh, wow.

Now, that's what

I'm talking about.

That's pretty nice.

I'm taking that area over there.

I could get used to this.

I got it.

The "Franklin Storm

Research Center."

Dad was kind of allergic

to his name in big letters.

Which reminds me,

I think that the four of us

should have a name.

Why would we need a name?

Because we're a team now,

and there's four of us

so we should come up

with a name for it.

Like, "The Human Torch

and the Torchettes."

Ugh.

No.

Are you kidding me?

How about "The Big Brain

and His Neurons"?

How about "The Big Brain

and Her Neurons"?

How about "Two Guys, a Girl,

"and the Thing

that Nobody Wanted"?

Hey, we both know

that you could take him.

Hey.

Hey. What?

We've come a long way

since the garage.

Gotta say, it's fantastic.

Say that again.

It's fantastic.

Yes, it is.

Guys, I got it.

Ready?

Yeah.
