Franklin Richards from future

Reed turned to face his wife, suddenly realising that he’d been working far longer than he intended to, and was about to start making his usual apologies, but when he saw who was standing behind him, he stopped and stared in shock. Instead of Sue, there was an unknown man with features similar to Susan. He was in his fifties, with graying hair and a worn expression, but his eyes still held that unmistakable Richards spark of curiosity. "Who are you?" Reed demanded, trying to keep his voice steady. The man smiled faintly. "You don’t recognise me, Dad?" he said, his voice tinged with sadness. "I’m Franklin.

" Franklin, sensing the tension, decided to approach his father cautiously, aware that the revelation of his identity had struck Reed like a thunderbolt. He could see the confusion and disbelief in his father's eyes, mixed with a hint of fear. Franklin knew that his presence here, in this timeline, was a result of the very experiments Reed had been conducting. He had traveled from a dystopian future where the Fantastic Four had failed to save the world, and now he sought his father's help to prevent the impending catastrophe. Reed, still trying to process the situation, took a step back, his mind racing with questions.

Reed's eyes darted towards the door, his mind racing with the implications of Franklin's words. The possibility of alternate realities was something he had theorized about, but to have his own son from the future standing in front of him was beyond anything he could have imagined. He felt a mix of emotions: shock, curiosity, and a deep-seated fear. Franklin's presence was a tangible proof of the success of his experiments, but it also brought a sense of dread. Reed's thoughts were interrupted by Franklin's voice, steady but laced with urgency. "Dad, I need to have a chat with mom." Susan who had become invisible became visible again. An unknown male claiming to be their son threw them off but Reed suggested a DNA test to verify this. Franklin asked for his DNA to be tested with Susan and tests quickly confirmed that she is his mother. Susan then agreed to talk to him privately and led him to the adjoining room.
