The Marvel Universe Roleplaying Community - 3...2..1...no go.

Reed is quiet for a short moment before he starts talking, slowly.

"Colonel Fury came in yesterday and told me that the project has been canceled, due to...politics. But I've already come too far and the rocket is still able to launch. And this is too important. A ship doesn't just go missing in space for no reason." He hesitates, rubbing his temple with one hand.

"Susan, I know that this is incredibly risky, but it's something I need to do."

Sue puts her hand on the mouthpiece for a moment to turn to Johnny, "You're going to school."

In a more hushed tone, so that Reed can't hear she speaks into the phone, one hand covering her mouth so that Johnny can't hear her.

"Reed... are you sure this is the right thing to do? It's not like we can hide a rocket launch... you know what could happen to us when we get back." She still has to raise Johnny. This is so risky.

"Prison, I know. I already called Ben, and he's agreed to pilot. It will be difficult to do everything between the two of us, but it would help out a lot if you would come. You're the only person I can trust. It's your choice though, and I'll understand if you say no. Either way, we're launching early in the morning, when there's less chance of the launch being interrupted."

She's quiet, silent while she considers. What about Johnny? There's enough money even if she gets arrested but she's his only family. On the other hand, an entire shuttle disappeared and who knows what it could be. She knows the ramifications either way.

"No, all right, I'll go." She nods slowly even though he can't see her. "I'll be ready."

Reed smiles in relief. "Thanks Susan. It means a lot. How's Johnny?"

She can hear his smile, she knows what Reed is like when he smiles and she smiles in turn, letting go of her secretive gestures, but turning her back towards the kitchen to keep her privacy.

"You know how he is. He wants to come too. I'm getting him a babysitter."

"Hmm, a fourth crew member would come in handy..." Reed imagines what bringing Johnny into space might be like, but quickly shakes the thought from his mind.

"No, I don't think I'm that desperate."

"No we're not." Desperate, that is.

"It would be dangerous and he's just a kid. I'm leaving him here with the babysitter."

"I'd hate for him to get into such a big fiasco at such a young age. Try not to let him know that we're launching without authorization. I believe it will only encourage him."

"You're right. I won't mention it. I'm just... worried." She pauses. "He's stubborn. I'll make sure he's sleeping while I leave. Don't worry about Johnny."

She says it softly, secretively, to make sure Johnny can't hear her.

But she's worried. There won't be anyone to take care of him if the government decides their crimes are worthy of jail time. It's evident in her voice.

From the his room Johnny frowns at the phone he picked up. He shouldn't. He knows, but - dude, it's space and his sister and the old guy. He already knows Sue's worked her ass off for him and she likely has a plan for if something happened to her like what happened to Dad.

But like hell you are going without me now!

Before all this it was wanting to go into space. Now it's about not wanting to be left behind again.

"Alright then. I'll tell Ben and soon we can get this underway. Remember, we're launching at 5 a.m., so be sure to leave early. I'll see you there Susan."
