i love you mother susan storm i love you motherhood as an identity and challenge i love you love overcoming evil i love you family dynamics at the heart of superhero films i love hope and connection

[invistorm]

"mara what did you think of susan in f4" well. i could write you a long winded piece but i'm waiting until the movies been out for a few more weeks but i will tell you it truly solidified that susan storm is the most integral member of the f4. s he's the mother, sister, and the rock of the entire time. i had so many misgivings about vanessa at first, ranging from her general "stiffness" in some promos and videos but i can gladly say i was generally so surprised but how languid and just...methodical her sue was. the dynamic between johnny and susan was up there with some of the best iterations i've ever seen (definitely blowing the previous films out of the water). i loved it.

[doctrinate]

“I am the forest, I am ancient. I treasure the stag, I treasure the deer. I shelter you from storm, I shelter you from snow. I resist the frost, I keep the source. I nurse the earth, I am always there. I build your house, I kindle your hearth. Therefore, you people, hold me dear.” / doctor doom by mia

trust me. you were born for this.

SUSAN STORM IN MARVEL RIVALS | ACCEPTING. @fntstic

the words hang in the air, sterile and bright, echoing against reinforced titanium walls and the steady hum of machines susan's never fully understood. there’s blood on her gloves, not hers but it bleeds red just the same, and a burn down the side of her ribs that she hasn’t had time to feel yet. but it’s not the pain that keeps her still. it’s his voice. it’s the way he says it, calm and unshaken, like the rest of the world hasn’t been on fire for weeks. like she didn’t just hold the broken pieces of another city together with shaking hands and raw forcefield power that feels more like a prison than protection these days. born for this. as if being turned into light and power was some kind of birthright. as if the moment the radiation rewrote her bones, her future became a fixed point in space, as wife, mother, warrior, symbol. invisible, invincible, indivisible.

susan doesn’t speak, not right away. not because she agrees, nor not because she doesn’t. but because she remembers being nineteen and scared, hair soaked with sea salt and voice hoarse from arguing with johnny. she remembers a genius in a too-tight lab coat, showing her galaxies on a screen like he was handing her the moon. reed had always spoken in possibilities. never prophecy. never fate. but things are different now, he’s different now, they both are. the weight of survival has hardened him in ways she can’t unsee, it has hardened her in ways she can’t undo. and maybe she was born for this, but not for the powers, not for the spotlight, but for this, that sudden perfect stillness in chaos. the steadiness. the capacity to endure. she doesn’t say that.

instead, she lets her eyes close, just for a moment. lets the hum of the lab settle around her like static, lets the heat of reed’s hand on her shoulder ground her in the now. then, finally: ❝ if i was born for this, reed (...) ❞ her voice is quiet, steady. ❝ does that mean you were born to watch it happen? or born to be beside me? i can't imagine not being here without you. ❞ because that’s the question, isn’t it? she thinks, trapped in this moment. the burn stings, the cut is suddenly sharp across her chest. what does love mean when survival turns you into something inhuman? he doesn’t answer, again not right away, and neither does she. because they both know this isn’t the end, but it’s just the next beginning in a war they never meant to start.

and susan storm, the invisible woman but the visible soul, stands in the wreckage, steady as gravity. born for this. whatever this is. but at least she's beside him.

[invistorm]

how i sleep knowing they made susan the most important member of the f4. i win.

[invistorm]

a little help please?

she hears him before she sees him, johnny, loud as ever even in distress, voice tinged with that signature blend of charm and exasperation. susan doesn’t flinch. doesn’t pause the steady movement of her hands as she calibrates the shield generator pulsing at her fingertips. whatever mess he’s landed in, it’s the third this week, and it’s only thursday. [ he’s still her little brother. still the boy who used to sneak into her lab just to feel less alone, who once burst into flames mid exam because someone said the word “boring.” she knows his fire burns brightest when he feels like he’s losing control. and right now, she can feel the heat of his panic from across the battlefield. ]

❝ johnny, breathe. ❞ her voice cuts through the chaos , firm, focused, a quiet tether in the middle of the storm. she steps out from behind the wreckage, blue glow rising at her fingertips, a barrier already blooming between him and the incoming strike. it fizzes out harmlessly against the curve of her shield. ❝ i’ve got you. ❞

she moves to his side, hands raised, eyes scanning the threat. calm. calculating. her presence shifts the air — softer than ben’s strength, quieter than reed’s mind, but just as essential. she doesn’t need to shout to be heard. ❝ next time, try not to charge in without a plan. or a communicator. or even common sense. ❞ her smile is small but real, half exasperation, half relief.

AS SAID BY THE INVISIBLE WOMAN IN MARVEL RIVALS *  adjust as necessary

i'm not the type who fades quietly into the background.

power like yours can change worlds. i'm glad you decided that it should change them for the better.

please tell me this isn't the date night you've been planning for us.

i appreciate you looking out for me, but i'm not about to miss the final battle.

for someone so brilliant, it's amazing how oblivious you can be.

that kind of violence isn't really my style.

i'll strike when they least expect it.

i thought we were supposed to be on the same side.

something bothering you, [name]?

some villains don't just know when to quit.

i could help with that... but not in the way i think you mean.

trust me. you were born for this.

people think they can see right through me.

you know me. when i'm needed, i'm there.

don't make me hurt you.

can we just focus on what we're doing here?

i need you to promise me you'll show some restraint out there.

was that supposed to be a compliment?

it's been so long since i've had a night out. this will have to do.

after all these years, saving the world still hasn't gotten old.

family still comes first.

even when you can't see me, i'll still make you believe.

it feels good to step outside my bubble every now and then.

we didn't ask to be heroes, but we always answer the call.

who wants to see something fantastic?

they'll never see me coming.

i won't disappear so easily.

thought you wouldn't see me again?

it's clear i'm still needed here.

i'll fight for my family until the end.

i hope this is important. i had a date night planned.

this is just a normal tuesday in our family.

we'll do this the same way we always do. together.

some things you just can't unsee.

i don't give up so easily.

what they're doing here, it's unspeakable.

i could be in and out of here with no one ever noticing.

you forced my hand.

you have no clue how long i've wanted to do that.

you should've seen that coming.

everyone saw that. how embarrassing.

i've got you covered.

you should pay more attention.

it was an honor to serve alongside you.

i'll make them pay for this.

i hate to admit it, [name], but i'm going to miss you.

we can always count on you, [name].

i was getting worried.

a little help please?

anyone willing to help?

i'm afraid we're outnumbered.

this place is begging to be attacked.

i need a hand over here.

no need to worry.

i'll make it through.

over here! i can heal you!

get ready to do some damage.

this place is worth a good look.

don't give up what's ours.

we can't afford to slow down.

even small victories are worth celebrating.

be proud of what you did here.

let's get this done.

this isn't the time for a slow dance.

it's up to us to end this.

we're out of time.

soft sunlight pours through the skyline,  a new york city morning in sharp contrast to the doom and gloom of cataclysmic storms that have riddled manhattan for the past month,          sunglasses carefully slid downwards      presently  aware of the agents around her as she brings her latte up to her lips, hiding her famed meeting with the scarlet witch as secret as she can.       [       𝐑𝐄𝐄𝐃 𝐈𝐒 𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐂𝐋𝐎𝐒𝐄, 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐒𝐄𝐂𝐑𝐄𝐓𝐒 𝐓𝐎 𝐓𝐎𝐍𝐘 𝐍𝐎 𝐃𝐎𝐔𝐁𝐓.

[words spoken between close friends, words spoke under hushed tons] —  reed promised to protect us.    ❞           in  kindless,   she  believes.   there is another side of humanity,  one that sees them as heroes,    not monsters. susan storm believes in science. and science says the scarlet witch is not a freak of nature. perhaps a genetic mutation, perhaps a carcinogen metabolized incorrectly —     not a monster.          her fingers tap lightly,  drawing in wanda's attention .      ❝    wanda ?     are you listening?          ❞         @nexusbeing
