"Sue I need to talk to you. I have decided to leave the FF and go off with Maggott to build up my reputation as a hero," Undying said.

"Alicia, you will be sorely missed, but I can't make you stay where you don't want to. I wish you the best of luck," Invisible Woman said, giving Undying a hug.

"What, I don't get a hug?" Maggott said jokingly.

"She's probably worried your maggots might bite her," Human Torch said coming around the corner.

"Look guys, we really have to get going and the longer I stay the harder it will be for me to leave," Undying said and with one last goodbye Undying and Maggott teleported.

"Oh yeah I forgot to tell you Sue, that Tigra said she was leaving the team because of an emergency and to give her love to the team. Mutant Forger also left because he said he had to do some soul searching," Human Torch informed Sue.

"Okay so we are back down to the original four again. What about our guest Lila?" Invisible Woman asked.

"She is staying with us for the time being," Human Torch said.

"That's good I'm sure me and her could have some good, long conversations," Sue giggled.

"I am not too sure about that, sis. You might bore her to death. I could see it now. All you would talk about is Franklin," Human Torch said.

"Now Johnny don't be jealous because you wish I would talk of you as highly as I do of Franklin," Sue smiled.

"Why would I need your attention when I have beautiful women fawning over me?" Human Torch asked.

"Johnny I'm sorry to tell you, but Skrulls don't count," Sue said waiting to see Johnny's reaction.

"Ouch! That was definitely a low-blow Sue," Johnny smiled.

Just then, the Thing came into the room. "Guys we have a problem in Arizona,"

"Just another day in the life of the Fantastic Four," Johnny said as he flamed on.


Author's Words: Well my very first run in M2K comes to an end. I hope you have enjoyed my run as much as I have. Check out my Captain America series though were a few familiar faces from FF will pop up. (No spoilers, sorry :) Anyway back to the serious stuff. I would like to think I have left my mark in some way on FF and from what I have done I would think that mark was simply changing the roster for a bit. I hope the next writer, whoever that may be, will utilize some of the things I did in my run on FF, like Sue taking more of a leadership role, and I hope the next writer doesn't just kill off Lila Storm because I left her on FF because I wanted to see what another writer would do with her.

Well this is my farewell to FF at least for now. Somewhere down the line I would like to come back just to see how much the Fantastic Four has changed.
