[conflagrations]

[ well good evening everyone, it’s your friendly neighborhood spider-woman, accompanied by the human torch, both in costume, johnny wearing his fantastic four suit, and jess in her mask. game faces are on. this is a serious post, you guys. ]

Hey, so I guess you all noticed that Reed Richards just showed up. But he’s not the Reed you guys know, you should know that.

[ there’s a pause and johnny darts a glance at jess before he continues. ]

He’s not a good guy. He went really, really crazy and faked his own death and then blew up a lot buildings. And--

[ there’s little tendrils of flame licking up johnny’s body because he’s getting angry. this time when he looks over at jess, it’s for help. because shouting over the network isn’t going to convince anyone. be the level-headed one, jess.

she speaks up after a moment, her voice slow and careful, trying to be as calm as possible]

Reed Richards is a terrorist and a murderer. He’s a criminal. He’s currently wanted by SHIELD and the government, for destroying various buildings of importance, such as the Baxter building, Triskelion, Roxxon buildings, and various homes of innocent families, including his own. He has killed thousands of people because of this. He is a psychopath with no regard for human life, going so far to even destroy Asgard and creating an entire civilization dedicated to conquering human life and mind-controlling children for his own agenda.

He will manipulate you and lie to you to get what he wants. He’s pretending like he’s innocent -- like we’re the crazy ones, but I was there when he destroyed Roxxon. We were there when he attempted to ruin the Earth in the Negative Zone.

Reed Richards is a danger to everyone and should not be trusted.

[ there’s a pause. johnny’s still half on fire, expression considering before he shrugs. ]

Yeah, what she said.

[ and then he turns off the camera. ]

ooc | the red text is jessica drew! and reed will most likely hack this at some point because supergenius, but they tried!

[ Please let him be a lying liar who lies. And let 1610 Hulk shenanigans all be a giant fib. ]

Yeah, he is.

[ A LYING LIAR WHO LIES ]

[ omg is that bruce banner

Yes. Don't believe a word he says.

[ except if he's telling you about ult hulK THEN THATS ALL TRUE OOPS ]

[solidorkable]

(sounds like his big bro, kind of.)

Forgive me Jonathan, I did not know.

[conflagrations]

It's okay, Larsa. It's not like I ever told you about him or anything.

HACK; after 10 minutes BUT AT LEAST THEY TRIED.

[elongates]

[ and his body is stretched out to nearly twice his size because he's that goddamn angry. also what killing asgard YES ]

I can't believe you two! I'm acting like you're the crazy ones because you absolutely goddamn are. What the hell is wrong with you?

GOSH REED CAN'T YOU RESPECT THEIR PRIVACY???

[conflagrations]

[ oh good johnny's on fire because he's mad, at least he looks badass. ]

People have a right to know! It's not like you're going to tell them.

[webline]

[ OOPS SCOOT OVER JOHNNy she's trying to fix the encryptions at the same time to block reed out of... everything else but god she knows it's not going to work ]

We could ask you the same thing! No one's believing this act of yours, Reed. No one.

Reed...?

[aranya]

....whoa.

So not the Mr. Richards I know.

[conflagrations]

Not even a little. Not that I know your Reed or anything, but it's not like mine.

[webline]

Yours is probably better. There's no way any Reed can be worse than ours.

permavideo;

[invisibly]

I can't--

I can't believe any of this.

[webline]

[ a long pause ]

Why would we lie?

voice

[couldbeavoided]

That...

[ He doesn't know what to make of this. Though he does get weird vibes from Reed. ]

I'm not sure about this.

voice

[webline]

What's there to not be sure about it? He's a murdering liar-liar-with-his-pants-on-fire.

[no3laws]

[FREAKING CALLED IT "for the children" never ends well, especially combined with threats, ugh]

[...though this is a bit excessive]

What's this about mind-controlling children?

[conflagrations]

[ CLEARLY THIS GUYS KNOWS WHAT'S UP ]

You gotta ask Spider-Woman. I think that's some SHIELD-level stuff I never found out about.

[voice]

[latveria]

You have outdone yourself, Johnny Storm.

[Sweet vindication.]

[elongates]

Wait. We―

We deserve to have a talk, Victor. In person.

[halfwitch]

He did what to kids?

[conflagrations]

Spider-Woman knows. I wasn't...I didn't find out about that.

[professorstarchilde]

[Alternate fucking realities, man. Rachel is hardly surprised.]

Well, there had to be one in the Omniverse. Are we sure he isn't possessed or mind-controlled?

[webline]

We're one hundred percent sure he isn't. He's fully aware of what he's doing.

[incywincyhero]

Can I come over?

[webline]

[ a pause and then ]

Yeah. Please.

Voice

[plantpacifist]

[Aaaaaaaand now Vash is checking the entries from before he arrived for Reed's post. Ah. There it is. But hey, Johnny seemed like a stand-up guy earlier. And not like a raving lunatic sooo...]

He did say he was concerned about the children.

[conflagrations]

Hey, Vash.

[ sup new friend... ]

It's not a good concern. Trust me.

encrypted to the wonder couple

[secondhandwebs]

That's... a lot to take in.

[But she'll deal with that on her own.]

Are you guys okay? Are you going to be okay? This is a- well. It's a big target you just put up, if he's that bad.

that encryption

[webline]

We're fine. At least, I am anyways.

There's no "if". He is. But the second he arrived in the City, that target was painted.

voice

[remarkablyspry]

Oh, my...

[hmmh.] I'm afraid I don't know this Reed Richards fellow, unfortunately. But I will remain alert, as you advise! You would know better, I would think.

I'm terribly sorry to hear all this, Mister Johnny! And...[falter.] And, ehm, ma'am. Apologies.

voice

[webline]

Well, uh -- thanks. Just stay away from him if you can.

And it's Spider-Woman.

voice; reilly; encrypted to jess and johnny

[bedeviledspider]

[ He sounds calm but there's a strong undercurrent of rage in his tone. ]

Mind-controlled children, huh? Please tell me that neither of you are speaking from personal experience.

[webline]

No, not me. And Johnny doesn't know about it. It's... you know, too far ahead.

It's from what I've seen. I don't know the details.
