Maybe working in a space mission wasn't a big deal after The Avengers fight a genocidal alien 2 years ago, but to Emmet Silverman it was an honor to be working in a project like this for The Baxter Foundation, even if that means coming face to face...

The police help us hold back the surging press once Sue, Reed, Johnny and Ben step out of the vehicles we were, I was hoping maybe the flash of the cameras will do something on my skin but nothing, Red, Sue and I walk inside while Johnny stays behind teasing Ben, I'm still mad at him about him trying to take over the attention and being insensitive with everybody about this whole "powers" thing.
"Welcome back to The Baxter Tower Mr. Richards, Miss Storm" - greeted our doorman, he is a cool man, very granpa like but a lil geeky too, he is always in a good mood - "all that for you guys?" - He asked
"We are like Kardashians now, but with actual relevance" - I said
"I think I heard Mr. Silverman but I can't see him" - said the doorman
"Maybe if you take the sunglasses off?" - I said teasing about the fact that he is always using those even when he is inside - "just kidding, I'm like a ghost or something so that is why you can't see me" - I add quickly to not confuse him
"Oh...well...Professor Storm is waiting for all of you in the penthouse to reunite with all of you" - said the doorman a little confuse about not seeing me
"Thank you" - said Reed and we walk with him with Johnny and Ben finally joining us
We get inside the elevator and Richards hits the top button, the doors close but the elevator does not move, we heard a creak before it dings again as if had arrived, we look to see a digital readout on the panel that says "Exceed Maximum Weight" and we all turn to look at Ben, Reed had a guilty look on his face.
"I'll take the stairs" - said Ben sighing before walking out the elevator and he gives us one last look before the door close, he looks so depress, poor Ben
"How come Ben and I can't turn it off like you guys?" - I asked
"That's what we are going to find out" - said Reed still with a guilty look
"It's not your fault Reed" - said Sue taking his hand
"I shouldn't have let him go outside alone, but we need to figure out what happened to him and Emmet because it could happened to us as well" - said Reed
"Wait, you mean there's chance we could be full-on-24-7-fantastic?" - asked Johnny
"Grow up Storm, you want to run around on fire for the rest of your life?" - I asked
