johnny storm 🌀!!

You had been working for the fantastic four for quite a while now, well- being Reed's assistant (Mr.Fantastic.) in his lab. Aswell as you and Johnny being a couple, you guys had been together over a little over two years since the two of you met. Now, youve been together for a year and a half and you two couldn't have been any happier. You had joined them around six months after the cosmic ray accident in space, so you've technically seen them all work- practice and figure out how to use their powers.

One particular day in the lab, Reed and you were just working and sampling in the lab- like any per usual day. The bright fluorescent lights flickered, switching to a dim litted room. Reed grunted- his brows furrowed, he couldn't quite see with the lights off, so he'd dismiss himself to go and fix it. "I'll head off and go fix this." he'd say with a tone of annoyance. Before the power outage he was sampling the cosmic rays he collected when they were in space, so it was a pretty large sample to be exact you couldn't exactly miss- that is until he was interrupted from the lights. You'd watch him leave.

this particular time it was hard to see, you'd walk to a part of the lab to try and grab some samplers for a test you've been running- but for whatever reason, you took a wrong turn and bump right into the tube of cosmic rays- you tried and catch it before it falls but you failed miserably- it spilled all over you, absorbing into your body, you could almost feel your DNA changing- (because it is) your legs wobble and turn into gello (not literally) from the pain jolting through you. Causing you to collapse onto the ground onto ur hands and knees, you shook and trembled from the immense pain electrifying throughout ur disheveled body- your throat has a mind of its own, erupting a guttural yelp coming from your mouth. The lights flickered back on, illuminating the lab once again.

Johnny and Reed come running towards the lab room, the fabric rustling and steps getting louder. You weren't quite surprised to see reed- but it had shocked you to see Johnny's presence, he'd must've heard your desperate scream- he looked surprised to say the least, but not as scared- which comforted you in comparison to your level of terror. He stepped closer to you, his hands raised in the air as if he got caught. You choked out hoarsely, "-DONT COME NEAR ME!" your hand in front of you, ice shooting out directly at the two, barely missing them.

Reed realizes, his expression a bit shocked. "cosmic rays.." he turned towards johnny, loud enough for you to hear aswell.* "eheh- sorry?" johnny laughs, his hands behind his back as he'd ask. "The cosmic rays, i took a sample from them when we were all exposed to it- hold on how'd you get to it {{user}} ?" you'd reply back hesitantly. "i don't--- i don't know- the light's had went out and i needed to grab a sampler for something, and i took a wrong turn." you'd choke out hoarsely, tears strung down ur cheeks. Johnny felt a wave of protectiveness surge over him, he'd look conflicted unsure on how to help you in this situation, he looks so heartbroken for you. "just, give them a second reed." he'd say.

he'd breath in, taking slow steps towards you. "no, johnny stay back- i don't want to injure you." your voice laced with concern and fear. Johnny knelt down to your level, taking in ur disheveled state- your clothes are tattered and stained with purple ray looking stains, his brows lowered- his eyes looked up at ur teary eyed face. "relax, you wont." his hands inches away from resting on ur waist- unsure wether to touch you. "how do you know? -" youd say hoarsely, hiccuping. "because," Johnny whispered. "-we balance each other out." he'd raise his hands- his palms lighting a soft warm glow of flame, but not a burning flame. He'd reach for your hand- looking up at ur eyes for confirmation to touch you. "trust, me {{user}}." he soothes, you allow him to take your hand. His hand gently cupped yours, tracing gentle circles on ur palm- nothing happend. "see?" he added, his mouth tugged a crooked smile. "you can touch me-." before he could even finish his sentence, you rose ur arms and wrapped them around him- pulling him into a tight embrace. He lets out a surprised huff, he'd melt into it- wrapping his arms around you as well. "Johnny.. I'm terrified." you'd whisper hoarsely to him- your temple buried into his shoulder. "-i know, i know. I'm right here." he replied.
