The Storm Ignites || Johnny Storm

The Big Day

"Johnny?" Alisha spoke from the side, already standing at the entrance to be the flower girl. Johnny still couldn't fathom out how that girl knew it was him in the room, was it really how she said – that he smelt like ash? "You shouldn't tease him so much." Speaking for Ben, having heard what had actually been said after she left. She may have no sight – but she had amazing ears.

Johnny rolled his eyes, "It was a joke." He told her. A fun joke, mind you.

"I don't know," She grinned, thinking about it. "I think that deep down you're happy for him, you just don't want to show it."

"Nah," Johnny laughed, shaking his head, walking over to her. "He's just easy to tease." Taking the last sip from his champagne glass.

Suddenly Ben's boomed voice filled the room, getting Johnny and Alisha to turn towards that direction. "Ta-da!" Ben walked into the room with Sue in one arm and June in the other. Both looking utterly exquisite.

Johnny's heart skipped a beat when he saw June there, even though he had already seen what she was wearing beforehand (even in his favourite color), it still got him every time. He couldn't help but smile though when he saw his sister walking in – this was the first time he's seen her in the wedding dress. She looked beautiful and content – Reed Richards was one lucky man.

"It's the bride to stretchy man." He commented before he made a fool of himself, making his sister blush and look down.

"Don't start." Sue said, now looking a little self-conscious about how she looked. Nerves were starting to get to her, but she knew the moment she sees Reed standing at the end of that aisle, she'll be okay.

"Ah, don't listen to him." Ben waved an arm at the guy, turning to Sue, "You look gorgeous. He walked over to Alisha, putting his arm through hers, "We'll see you out there, sweetie." He said before leading her away to get set up for the walk. Besides, he needed to make his way over to Reed and take his place.

While Ben and Alisha walked away, June made her way over to Johnny, giving him a peck on the lips. "I'll see you out there." She whispered, before following the two behind closely. She figured Johnny and Sue would be wanting a small conversation together before the walk would commence. It was just a sibling vibe she got – she had already had hers with Reed earlier in the morning - when he tried to take over her Sensor project.

But she made it clear that it was her project, and that he needed to get ready for his wedding. She literally had to boot him out using her powers at one stage – it actually turned out pretty funny.

Let's just say he already had his shower for the day.

As the three fell out of sight, Johnny placed the glass back down on the table he had originally got it from. "You know; you don't look too ridiculous in that dress." He commented, slipping his hands into his pants pockets.

Sue looked at him skeptically, "Is that obnoxious brother talk for 'You look kinda nice'?"

Johnny turned to her, "You look beautiful." He told her, seriously.

It was almost like a sigh of relief flooded her, "Thank you." Sue told her brother, her shoulders were not looking as tense as before. Johnny couldn't help but chuckle, never seeing this shy part to his sister before. His chuckles died down before he looked at her with just a content smile, "Dad would be proud."

Flecks of water began to start accumulating under Sue's eyelids at the mention of their father. She pulled her little brother into a tight hug, feeling already immensely better than before.

...

And the wedding had begun. As the serene, peaceful music began to play, Ben and Alisha were the first to appear from the building, walking down the aisle arm in arm. The wedding was commencing on top of the Baxter Building, the rooftop connected to their apartment. They felt it would be less crowded and a lot more peaceful than anywhere else. Although, it wasn't exactly what they'd been expecting in the first place.
