Breakfast

Little Franklin was sitting down, happily eating his cereal his Uncle Johnny poured for him when he noticed his mother entering the kitchen with a smile. His mother was wearing that strange new white-and-blue outfit again although he didn’t understand why since everything grown-ups do confuse him. It reminded him of those one-piece swimming suits the ladies in his Uncle Johnny’s magazines wear.

“Good morning, sweetie,” greeted Sue to her son, “having a yummy breakfast?”

Franklin just smiled, “Uh-huh.”

Susan paid no attention to her offspring as she prepared her and Reed’s morning meal.

“Listen, Franklin your father is going to be busy in the lab these next few days,” she gently informed the blonde boy, “And I’ll by busy too helping him, so you need to be a good boy. Okay?”

“Okay,” answered the clueless child.

Susan smiled, she now knew there was nothing that would stop her as long as her brother and Ben kept their noses out of Reed’s task. She continued to smile as she cooked breakfast for Reed and herself, the sound of eggs and bacon cooking in the pans kept her focus. Once she was done, the Invisible Woman pulled out a couple of plates and filled them. The blonde woman then called in Johnny to have him take care of Franklin so she could deliver the plates to the lab along with a couple of forks. She then picked the plates and exited the kitchen.

“Johnny?” called out the Super-matriarch to her sibling.

“Yeah, Sue?” responded her brother.

“I have several tasks to do this week and Reed’s busy so I need know that we can count on you and Ben to pick up the slack,” stated Susan as she carried the meals toward the lab.

“Yeah, don’t worry,” Johnny assured her with a wave of his hand, “we got it.”

“O’course Suzie,” added Ben as he held Franklin, “Ya don’t need ta worry ‘bout nuthin’, kay?”

The only thing that was different about her for the last 2 days was how much she yearned for night and her Dark Master with his wonderful pleasure he brought in place of most regard for her child or husband. Even now she sought him but knew she had a job to do and so she entered the lab with she and Reed’s breakfast.

“Keep up your strength, Reed,” Susan told him, “You won’t be able to finish My Love’s machine.”

“Of course,” he answered begrudgingly.

He then stretched his arm over to one of the lab’s tables to obtain a tool he knew he would need and smiled thankful he could stretch again. Susan seeing him stretch brought a smile to her soft lips, “I see your body has regained its elasticity.”

“Yes, it means I can now finish my work for the Master,” acknowledged Reed.

It was good that the effects of The Wizards gadget wore off in time for Reed to start his work, she was worried that Reed’s body haven had its elasticity stolen and made rigid would make Reed have to take longer to build. As Reed ate his breakfast, he contemplated how long it take to finish the machine include meal intakes.

“Tell me, Reed,” inquired his wife, “how long will it take, your invention I mean?”

“Hard to say, Susan” answered Reed, “The master’s will must be done.”

“I know all that,” the intended bride snapped, “What I’m trying to find out is how many days you need including food.”

Susan knew that sleep wasn’t really required since he, Ben, and her brother would be resting when they were in the machine.

“I suppose when I obtain certain materials like adamantium,” Reed continued, “I might have a few days but it’s hard to say.”

“Adamantium is for Ben’s hide presume?” Susan questioned as she drank her orange juice.

“Of course,” Reed replied finishing his juice and meal.

Susan the retrieved the dishes and left for the kitchen while her husband went about the day, as did she.
