#sues4n : mutuals only & highly selective susan storm . heavily mcu based . minors & personals dni . dash only . written by drainnie . ( 30+ , she/her , slow activity )
the baxter building is quiet when stepping inside , too quiet for what they'd just been through . susan holds franklin close against her chest , his tiny hand curled into the collar of her jacket . he's calm , content , little pants of breath against her neck , a small miracle after the chaos of a failed mission . the mission . galactus . how that revelation stings . wounds fresh & slow to heal . but he will not deprive them of this . the present moment . welcoming their son for the first time into their home .
she settles onto the couch , exhales , fingertips brushing franklinโs soft hair . the infant letting out a slight sigh in response , sinking deeper into such a lulled state . sue hasn't spoken to reed much on the way back , too lost in thought , the emotional weight of nearly losing everything & the imminent threat that they still can , the reaction at the press conference โ but she feels him now , nearby . breaking her away from the madness .
โ come here , โ spoken gently , voice low but sure . allowing the warmth of @insidemyblood's presence to soften the lingering chill left by open space . โ i know what we just faced out there isn't the end & we'll have to prepare , โ a pause , looking down at the baby in her arms , โ but I need a minute . we both do . โ glancing up , eyes soft & steady . โ it's not how i pictured we'd bring him into this world , but i don't regret it . seeing him now ... he's so beautiful , reed . โ fears that their son might have been a monster galactus could wield have long since dissipated . โ you know , he wouldn't be here without you . i couldn't have delivered on my own . โ & not many wives can say their husband helped to give birth while manning a spacecraft & fending off a cosmic being . โ smile tugging at the corners of her lips . of course , ben & johnny did their part too , but she needed reed most .
sue's powers are deeply integrated to her emotional state & can be amplified depending on how she's feeling . stronger the emotion , more intense the reaction . & not just limited to anger , fear or stress , but also joy , vulnerability , & love.
when reaching an emotional or physical peak during intimacy , she may involuntarily turn invisible . a raw , unfiltered surge of sensation that slips past even her conscious control . wrapped up in what is currently being experienced . sexual climax can send her into this state of unpredictability . sometimes , her invisibility will fade. in & out like flickers of light through water . other times , it's a sudden vanishing act that leaves only the impression of touch. , breath , sound & warmth. . it becomes a secret language , one that says she's completely euphoric & at her partner's mercy .
the lab ; alive with sound โ constant low thrum , repulsor cores charging , robotic arms twitching in idle motion , holographic screens flickering with data only someone like @styhrk could fully understand . aroma carrying distinct scent of metal , ozone , & overworked brainiac . outside ; floor-to-ceiling windows , manhattan glittered beneath the setting sun , oblivious to whatever science fiction-level disaster currently brewing inside .
silent , careful , undetectable .
ripple of air shimmering near , almost like heat distortion , labโs entrance compromised . split second , stepping into view , phasing out of invisibility as easily as slipping off a jacket . posture poised , but eyes are sharp โ calculating , cool , & just a little bit annoyed . // from one unruly genius to another // persistence & obsession must be a qualification .
โ you know , mister stark , breaking into your lab wasn't exactly on my to-do list today . but after the third cosmic spike on our instruments โ all centered here โ a mutual friend reed asked me to pay you a visit . โ
you let your gaze wander โ half-built suits , blue prints , dismantled ultron drone lying in pieces , & a swirling hologram of a destabilizing wormhole that you're pretty sure wasnโt there yesterday . โ ben thinks you're up to no good & by the looks of it โ โ need you say more ? of course you do .
slight raise of brow . โ tell me this isnโt your version of a mid-life crisis . โ voice ; smooth , amused , & completely unapologetic . โ i pegged you to be the type that would invest an ungodly amount of money into cars , maybe compensating for something , or filling a void , but not this ... โ liar . you expected nothing less .
โ mind telling me what all of this is about ? you aren't hiding anything , are you , mister stark ?? โ

you probably saved more lives than you took.
that's what i told myself. but they were all human beings.
i saw what i was, & what i was capable of.
why are you telling me this tonight?
i know i can do this. let me tell you why: because you did.
so this party ... will there be strippers?
i'll meet you at the altar.
what did i say about beauty sleep?
sorry. bad dream.
weddings โ they bring everyone together!
oh my gosh, you're so beautiful!
it's your first family heirloom.
no โ ! no smudging my masterpiece!
just don't let me fall.
we were just saying how pretty everything is.
you don't think it's too much?
i hope you'll be happy, [ name ].
well, i plan on getting drunk.
they're serving up some pretty fancy champagne, can i get you a glass?
what's a wedding without some family drama?
uh, i'd like to propose a toast!
i know things. like how to hunt somebody to the ends of the earth.
it's an extraordinary thing, to meet someone you can bare your soul to.
i've been waiting ... what seems like a very long time, to get beyond what i am.
no measure of time with you will be long enough. but let's start with forever.
'kind' is my middle name.
dance with me?
where have you been? we were going to put your face on a milk carton.
it's weird to back on two legs again ... in clothes.
gotten out of practice with the whole human thing.
you'd think i'd be used to telling you goodbye by now.
you're not supposed to be the one crying, [ name ].
this is how i'm going to remember you.
because what, soon i'm going to be dead to you?
tell me you're not that stupid.
i mean, it's really none of your business.
people are probably missing us, let's go back.
wear a hat. sunscreen ... take care of yourself.
everything's packed & ready to go.
you know this will always be your home, right?
go on, you don't wanna miss your plane. wherever it's going.
i am nothing if not traditional.
you want to take a look around?
i could use a few human minutes.
how badly are you hurt?
[ name ], i can't tell you how sorry i am.
now i'm sort of pissed off, actually.
i mean, it was amazing for me.
that's what you're worried about?
last night was the best night of my existence.
let me make you breakfast.
i mean, being any kind of happy is better than being miserable.
my period, it's late.
i think that i'm pregnant.
i'm begging you, i'll do anything.
listen, just give it to me straight.
we've been researching legends, but there isn't much to go on.
this is none of your business, dog.
[ name ], you've gotta do something.
it's not his decision, it's not any of yours.
look, [ name ], i need you to do something for me.
you'll get what you always wanted. to kill me.
you don't fool me.
i can see what that thing's doing to you.
and when you die, what was the point?
listen to me, [ name ], please. don't do this. live.
i know how this ends, & i'm not sticking around to watch.
don't you even care that it's killing you?
we can't allow it.
every human will be in danger.
we have real enemies to fight tonight.
you will fight with us, [ name ].
i wasn't born to follow you, or anyone else.
don't worry, they're not following us.
what do you think you're doing here?
i'm not kidding. get out of here.
is that an order? you gonna make me bow down, too?
are you really ready to fight your own family?
if it's the right thing to do.
do what you want.
man, i can smell them from all the way out here.
go away, [ name ]! i can take care of myself.
did [ name ] send you?
we won't be the ones to break the treaty.
you've done us a great service, [ name ]. thank you.
i know they're out there somewhere.
you know you can't stay here.
you don't even like me.
i don't have to like you, i just have to follow you.
being unwanted isn't exactly a new thing for me.
look, i'll stay out of your way. i'll do whatever you want.
i'm gonna do a perimeter run.
[ name ], tell me. it's alright.
i can't stop it, & i can't slow it down.
i can't live without you.
you decided this on your own.
i have no other way to see it.
it wasn't an idea, it was a snide comment.
your pulse is already getting stronger.
i'm sorry i've been so angry.
i've left you alone in this.
they won't hesitate, you will be slaughtered.
this really is a family. as strong as the one i was born into.
how's the new family working out?
stay focused, keep your heart beating.
i won't kill you. that'd be too easy. you deserve to live with this.
โ you get caught up in your work , reed . & i don't blame you for those moments of discovery & exploration . i'm well aware of the man i married . i just need you to come out of your head once in a while . โ
smile โ one so unguarded , starts small & tugs gently at the corners of mouth like itโs remembering how to bloom again . hand moving instinctively to his head as he nestles into , fingers combing through soft strands , touch familiar , reverent . โ you actually let h.e.r.b.i.e near johnny unsupervised ?? โ soft laugh โ genuine , unforced , a little disbelieving . chin tipping slightly , giving more space in the crook of her neck , the intimacy folding into her like a long-lost rhythm . voice lowers , somber but wrapped in something warm .
โ thatโs either an act of profound trust โฆ or mutual destruction . โ smirk falters at first kiss โ slow , certain โ lands just below the ear , & feels like a pulse beneath skin . itโs not hurried . not calculated . itโs real in a way that pulls sue out of the whirlwind sheโs learned to live inside .
โ at least i know franklin is in very capable hands ... โ eyes slipping shut as those tantalizing lips trail lower , another kiss finding the hollow of neck . that one lingers . growing warmer . heat of it dragging slow over skin , light & smug & far too knowing . possessive without pressure . a reminder .
slim digits threading through the back of reed's hair , anchoring him there โ not to stop him , but to keep him close . if held on just tightly enough , time might slow down for them . โ you always know where to find the places i sometimes forget exist โฆ โ third token of affection sinks into the space just above collarbone , & a quiet sound escapes โ small , involuntary exhale . heart stutters beneath his mouth . you love when he makes you swoon . so helpless & vulnerable & his .
she doesnโt need to look at him to know what heโs thinking . she feels it , in every breath brushed across flesh , in the care heโs taking now , each press of his lips is a silent apology for every night left waiting in bed alone , thoughts buzzing too fast for rest . weight of it settling into spine , melting all defenses . scrape of prickled cheek , faint scent of graphite , iodine & ozone & him . arms wind around broad shoulders , pulling into the full heat of her body . still , as tender as it may be , you can't resist the playful banter .
โ careful babe , this is exactly how we ended up expecting franklin ... โ tease you entirely anticipate to gain reaction // playful response you hope to warrant just what those words imply // & maybe , subtly , you're asking considering for another baby .
composed , cool & warm . leaning against the doorframe of @insidemybloodโs lab , one hand resting on the growing curve of her belly , the other holding a mug of tea -- long since forgotten to drink . head tilting as she takes in the sight : her brilliant husband hunched over some blinking , humming contraption that probably isnโt supposed to be smoking . โ reed , sweetheart โฆ unless that thing is secretly a foot massager disguised as a quantum field stabilizer , iโm going to need you to step away from it . very slowly . โ sly smile , tone laced with amusement .
โ your son is demanding attention . specifically : ice cream , back rubs , & possibly an in-depth lecture on why you havenโt figured out how to make maternity pants more comfortable using unstable molecules . โ walking towards him , that unmistakable mix of sass & affection , setting her cup down on a cluttered table . โ youโve solved inter-dimensional anomalies , babe . surely you can handle third trimester cravings . โ
