Sue Storm's Cliche Life

Sue Storm was annoyed.

Reed was, as usual, so busy with this science stuff that he barely knew she was there.

Ben and Johnny were, she was pretty sure, turning into Itchy and Scratchy.

So she was stuck taking care of her kids and waiting for the next villain to attack.

She had to blow off some steam and quick.

Luckily for her, she new the exact person to get into contact with.

First thing was first, she had to make sure Franklin and Valeria were going to be in good hands.

She went through the mental rolodex of potential babysitters, she discounted each of them: Shadowcat and She-Hulk would be busy, Johnny and Ben both had a night off coming to them so she wasn't going to bother either.

"Isn't there some kind of robo babysitter, Reed had to have built one at some point." She muttered to herself.

She hated to do it, but she had to go to Reed and see if one existed.

She used to keep track of this stuff, but her other interests had taken over.

Sue sighed and went to talk to Reed.

He was, as always, busy with some experiment or something.

She stopped caring a while ago.

She accepted the fact that she was his no. 2, but that was fine with her.

She had stopped ranking him completely.

She had other people in her life now that treated her far better.

What should have been a quick check with her husband turned into an agonizing conversation as he repeatedly got sidetracked with whatever experiment he was on at the moment.

Eventually Sue lost her cool.

"Reed, the Babysitter." She snapped, trying to get him to focus.

"Oh, uh, right...I can take over watching them for tonight!" He said in an eager voice.

Sue would normally be horrified by such an idea, but she had other concerns and immediately agreed that Reed would take the kids for the night.

With that out of the way, Sue immediately retreated to her room to get ready for her big night out.

She spent the next few hours making sure she looked perfect.

She wore a short, black dress that emphasized her curves, she wasn't one for putting on a bunch of makeup, but she made sure that what she did wore enhanced her already once in a lifetime beauty.

By the time she was done, she knew the limo was outside waiting for her before she even looked at the clock.

She gave a quick goodbye to the kids and to Johnny and Ben (she barely acknowledged Reed) before she left the building and entered the limo, where her partner in crime was waiting for her.
