WHO: The Power kids and Sue Storm
WHERE: uhhhh some place with privacy?
WHEN: Wednesday
WARNINGS: None
SUMMARY: The kids have questions and Sue just might have the answers.
FORMAT: Quick-ish


[The past few days for Katie had consisted of trying to catch her brother up with her timeline and arguing with said brother about nearly all of it. While, despite the fighting, she was glad to have him here, Katie was just as glad for the break seeing Sue would provide. Katie had been wanting the chance to really talk to her since she arrived and she knew Alex would have questions as well.

Katie ran past and ahead of her brother, looking around for Sue and expression just daring her brother to make any fuss today.]

She's going to say yes about Johnny, Alex. [Katie countered.]

[invisibly]

I do trust them all. I've known them for months, lived with them, worked with them. They had no motivation to lie to me.

[weightoftheworld]

[ he shoots Katie a 'shut up I'm older' Look before turning to answer Sue. ]

We don't even know who some of those guys are! [ but if they're all saying the same thing. . . ]

[disintegrator]

[She rolls her eyes back at him. Not that much older, Alex.]

Even if you trust them, there could have been some misunderstanding. Maybe it wasn't really him and it was a clone or something.

[invisibly]

[Sue shakes her head.]

That's too implausible to be the case.

[weightoftheworld]

[ snapped: ] It's a lot less implausible than your story!

[ he quickly catches himself, looking abashed, but doesn't back down from the statement. ]

--I'm not trying to be rude or anything, Sue, really, but Katie and I have dealt with a lot of weird stuff that had to do with clones and fakes before! How do you know for sure that there wasn't just some mix-up and people got confused? Anything's possible, right?

[ except a world where Reed Richards killed thousands of people and his own family. surely that can't be true. Alex still can't wrap his head around very idea. ]

[disintegrator]

Sometimes clones are really, really hard to recognize. You could go months without ever knowing that they're not the real person. And if he's anything like our Mr. Richards, I bet he'd have enemies who'd be awful enough to try that sort of thing.

[invisibly]

I've dealt with Skrulls, I know that people aren't always what they seem. [Sue tries not to let her voice spike too much. Yelling at the children won't do any good.] Maybe this man isn't the real Reed Richards. Regardless, this man is a murderer. I'm sorry, kids, but I believe what was presented to me. I believe the people who told me what happened. And making excuses for him won't make this any easier.
