[ 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. ]

Well, excuse me. [ god, he really shouldn't be feeling so exhausted. ] I care about what everyone thinks about me. I feel!

And Susan isn't having the best day and I want Susan to be happy. I really do! I'd do anything!

[BEAT.]

Anything?

[ internally squinting. not sure if trick question or douchiness or both. ]

Well...

Specificity will help you, Mr. Richards.

[ past the tears, he can't help but be dismissive. ]

I don't have to prove my love to you.

Or your obsession, it seems.

[ an exhale, a shake of the head. ]

What do you think you're doing?

Offering you an opportunity. Can you claim that anyone else is dong the same for you?

[ the response is immediate. ]

No. I'm not interested.

All right, then, Mr. Richards. Suit yourself.

Doctor Richards, thanks.

But of course.

Mr. Richards.

Richards, then.

Someone already has the domain on that one. Reed.

Reed is fine.

[ disconnect! ]
