This is where you might normally go "Fortunately your butt is your face" or something, but I live a wholesome life now. If you were to say something like that to me, I'd smile and laugh heartily alongside you. There is room at the hearth of life for us both.

The Baxter Building
New York City
August 29th, 1963

Ben Grimm grunted as he adjusted the knot on his tie into place, the final touch for his new suit. He checked his orange visage in the mirror, rubbing hands over his head. Some days he felt like a monster when he saw that face. Most days. But not the days he had a date with Alicia. He tugged on the end of his tie once. It tore to shreds in his hands.

“Aw criminy,” he griped. “Reed needs to make better ties.”

“What's the matter, Benjy? Panties in a bunch?” Johnny flew into the room, the heat of his flame warming Ben up even through his rocky exterior.

“I just wrecked this blasted tie,” he replied, “And I'm seeing Alicia in an hour. It was brand new as well.”

“You realise she can't see which tie you're wearing, right?”

He was about to come back with a scathing retort when the doorbell went. “Huh?” he said. “What was that? Are we under invasion again?”

“It's just the doorbell,” Johnny sighed. It went off a second time.

“Don't gimme your just a doorbell baloney. You know how many enemies we got? Come and check it out.” The two men rushed through their home until they reached the lift that led down to the ground. The light was beeping incessantly, indicating a guest was requesting entrance. Johnny pushed the button to open the doors. They slid apart, revealing a figure slumped on the ground.

“Reed,” Ben growled. “Get Reed! Now!” Johnny nodded and jetted off.

“Ben?” He heard Sue's voice. “What's all the commotion? I was baking and-”

“You don't wanna see this, Susie.” He tried to block her off with his body but she turned invisible and slipped past him. The gasp he heard a few seconds later was the only thing that gave away her position.

“We're here,” Johnny said, streaking back into the room. Reed's head followed after him, his neck stretching back towards his laboratory.

“What's going on, Ben?” Reed asked. “I'm in the middle of some very important work regarding the Negative Zone. If I can harness the negative particles just right I believe we may be able to find a solution to-”

His voice cut off. He had finally reached the lift. Together, the first family of superheroes looked down on the body of their postman slumped against the back of the lift, sprawling in a thick pool of blood. A message was scrawled on the back wall. 'It Has Begun'. Sue slumped against Ben's shoulder, feeling faint at the sight.

“Reed, what does this mean?” Johnny asked.

Reed stared down at the body with dark eyes. “It means we gather our allies.”
