Sue Storm (Marvel Comics)

The Baxter Building

New York, NY

"Uhhh... Susie? Ya might wanna look at yerself..."

Sue looked at Ben and immediately recognized the look on his face. The awkward discomfort written in his expression. Ever since their last encounter with Psycho-Man, Sue's powers had gone haywire; specifically, her invisibility powers. Every so often, she'd render her clothing invisible, leading to a few awkward moments between her and her teammates. She looked down and, sure enough, her clothes had been rendered completely transparent. She was wearing them, sure, but she might as well not have been wearing them at all.

"Oh for fuck's sake... not again..."

"This is gettin' outta hand," Ben said, turning his head away and placing a hand up to block his view of his 'naked' teammate. "Ya might wanna see someone about that. Maybe talk to the X-Men or somethin'? They got plenty a' psychics there, one of 'em's gotta be able to help you."

"Well, I definitely have to do something," Sue remarked. "I can't go out in public if my clothes are suddenly going to disappear."

Ben stood up and awkwardly edged his way toward one of the lounge's exits. "Ya could also talk ta Stretch, but he's in his lab again. I haven't seen 'im in days -- who knows what he's up to."

Sue paused at the suggestion. Reed could likely come up with a solution, but everything he'd been working on lately had been, in Reed's words, 'of the utmost importance'. He'd been completely consumed by his lab work -- even more so than usual -- so maybe it wasn't a good idea to distract him. Maybe I should find a nudist colony until Reed finds some spare time, Sue joked to herself.

One thing was certain -- Sue had to do something. The last thing she needed was to be cooped up in her quarters with her responsibilities.
