Chapter 28 - Ben Grimm

After Arthur and Susan entered the bridge at the helicarrier, Reed Richards looked at Arthur and frowned but didn't say anything to him, but to Susan he said "Let's go now Susan, we have to run more tests on Johnny."

"Wait a bit Mr Richards, I took Johnny's powers but since I feel a bit bad about it and I don't want to owe you anything, I'll compensate your team by helping Mr Ben." After saying this Arthur reached one of his hands towards The Thing.

Seeing this, the thing got ready to fight but stopped when he saw Susan Storm giving him a reassuring smile. He hesitated a bit but finally sat down.

"Don't resist now, it is for your own good." Arthur said with his hand on The thing and activated his devouring power. The thing started to feel a bit light both physically and mentally.

"What the hell are you trying to do.... " Reed couldn't complete his sentence and became slack jawed. He rubbed his eyes once but still saw Ben Grimm in his human form, from before the cosmic storm accident and not his body which looked as though made by rocks.

"All I did was take some excess energy from your body which was preventing you from taking control of your powers and making you look like a walking rock. First let us check if you still have your Super strength and durability." Saying this Arthur used his Extremis enhanced body and punched Ben Grimm.

This bought Ben out of his shock and to his Amazement he saw that while he regained his long lost human form, he still had his strength and durability. As Arthur's punch did hurt him a bit but did not injure him outright. But from what he heard from Spiderman and saw from Johnny, Arthur packed quite a serious punch.

"Now that your problem has been resolved, I recommend you to restart your social life and smash not only enemies but your lost love too. And start practising to master your power." (A/N I genuinely felt sad about Ben in the fantastic four movie where his finance drops his ring and leaves. All because the overconfident Reed had miscalculated the time of storm)

"Thanks mate." Said Ben as a few tears rushed through his eyes due to having finally gotten rid of his Rocky appearance which had come to haunt him since the accident.

"Even though you helped Ben and I am grateful for that, but don't think that I'll forget what happened to Johnny." Reed said.

"Yea yea... Save it for later Mr Smart @ss. I do what I want to."

"Director Fury we will be leaving now, I want to run some tests on Johnny and Ben." Reed didn't reply to Arthur but just stood up to leave with his team. Before leaving Susan smiled and nodded towards Arthur which he returned. Today was quite a bountiful day for him, he got power to generate flames, super strength and super durability. While previously he could only heal from bullet wounds now he could also block bullets with just his body alone. Not to forget he got Susan's contact number too.

...

"Since the matters have been resolved now should I go back to "The Bus" with Arthur?" Coulson asked Nick Fury.

"Coulson, decisions related to Arthur are handed over to you and keep an proper eye on him." Nick Fury said seriously.

Nick Fury remained in his position, deep in thought and reviewing the events that took place. While Maria Hill was standing beside him awaiting his orders.

After some time he said "Agent Hill increase the threat level of Mr. Arthur Wolf on our database. And order our scientists to find countermeasures against Arthur and his powers."

"Yes Director."

...

When Coulson reached Arthur he heard him say "I want a leave for a few days. Maybe three days, I want to go to a quiet place since I just got Human Torch and The things powers and I want to master them. They are very unstable right now so I have to practise with them before using them in a mission."

"Well... Alright, but I hope you come back to the team as soon as possible. And if any situation occurs I want you to contact me immediately." Said Phil Coulson.

"Understood." Replied Arthur. Coulson was one of the few who he admired in the past life. His character was indeed worthy of his admiration.

"Alright I'll go now, you talk with Director Fury."

Saying this he Lit both his legs on fire without the help of a lighter and flew into the air.

Arthur originally planned to back to the Base and spend some time with Skye before any mission comes up. But after devouring Human Torch's and part of The Thing's power he got the notification of the system upgrading.

This is also a chapter that I wrote myself. I got 3-4 comments previously about helping The Thing and getting his human form back. So I thought why not, it's a good idea.
