Kapitel 219: Chapter 216
I walked into the lounge, which was reduced to just a newly renovated kitchen and two sofas. I spotted Reed and Sue looking over a blueprint in the middle of the room. I smiled, "hey."
Sue looked up and immediately her eyes went wide, "Peter!" She ran at me and gave me a fierce hug, holding me tightly, "it's so good to see you again!"
I smiled as I hugged her back, "it's nice to see you again too Sue," I looked over her shoulder and saw Reed smiling at me, "hey Stretch, how've you been?"
"Better," Reed shock my hand, "it's nice to see you again Peter. It's been too long."
"Yeah well, the body healed but the spirit...," I trailed off looking around, "but it looks like you're bringing things up nicely."
"We're handling ourselves pretty well," Sue admitted as she broke the hug and smiled at me, she grabbed my hand and pulled me to the table, "come on, I'll show you."
I chuckled but nodded. I stood there as she and Reed explained what they were going to build in place of the broken down labs. Honestly it was very impressive. I asked questions often, giving her inputs whenever I could.
An hour quickly passed as Sue and Reed took me through each and every room in the building. Just then Johnny flew in from outside with a bag of concrete. He spotted me and smiled, "heya Pete! Fancy seeing you here!"
I smiled as Johnny landed before me and turned his flames off, "nice to see you too. Working hard I see."
Johnny shrugged, "I do what I can."
"Where's Ben?" I asked looking around, "I'm surprised he isn't here."
"Ben ah, he's..." Reed trialed off unsure what to say.
"Ben got lucky," Johnny said bluntly, "he's at his girlfriend's place for the past week. No clue when he's coming back."
I blinked, "girlfriend?!"
"Yeah."
I threw my arms up, "it's a fucking invasion! How?! When!"
"She's a psychiatrist," Susan explained, "she was helping Ben with...his problem."
I winced, "you let him date his psychiatric?"
"Well when you look like him you don't really get that many choices," Johnny replied with a shrug.
"Johnny!" Sue cried out.
"Sorry!" Johnny smiled.
"Alright," I took off my hoodie revealing the white shirt I had on underneath, "how can I help?"
"You sure Peter?" Reed asked cautiously, "we don't want too-"
"I'm fine Reed, really. Please, I need something to do anyway, I would be happy to help," I smiled.
For the next three hours we worked together as a team. Reed and I helped with the heavy lifting, poured the concrete, helped set everything up. The contractors were coming tomorrow, but it was our job to fix everything up for them. Lazy fucks.
By around 5 though I got one hell of a shock. The elevator doors opened and I heard a familiar clicking of boots. I was with Reed looking over the blueprints for my lab once more when I noticed Liz walking into the lounge.
"Liz?" I asked in surprise, "what are you doing here?"
Liz blinked, "Peter?"
"Liz!" Johnny cried out as he ran over and gave her a kiss on the lips, "hey blondie, ready for our date?"
"Ah Johnny," Liz looked at me.
Johnny looked over, my jaw was practically on the floor. I turned to him and then to his arm around Liz and then to him. I blinked, "what the fuck?"
"Ah….we really should go," Johnny spoke up grabbing a coat, "bye Peter!" He grabbed Liz and ran out to the door.
"Ah, bye!" Liz called out.
I ran towards them just in time to see the doors shut close. I turned to Reed, "what the fuck was that?!"
Reed blinked, "oh? Did Johnny not tell you? He and Liz have been going out for some time now."
"What?!" I turned to the lift and activated my advanced hearing.
"I can't believe we just ran out like that," Liz said with a huff.
"Believe me, it's easier this way," Johnny sounded scared, good.
I turned to Read, "anything else you want to tell me? Did anyone else get a girlfriend while I was away?!"
"Oh, did he find out about Liz?" Sue asked as she came in with a grin, "relax Peter, I already warned him that if he doesn't treat her right you would break his arms."
"What? Yeah, fine, but...ah! I can't believe they didn't tell me!" I grumbled looking at Sue and Reed, "are you two dating now too?"
Reed blushed and immediately coughed, "ah, well you see..."
Sue rolled her eyes, "what Mr. Smooth here is trying to say is that he's with someone, but I'm not."
I blinked, "okay, first off all that was a total shot in the dark. And second of all, who?!"
Reed blushed, "her name is Jessy, Jessy Lamburg. She's a friend from college."
"Didn't you like go to college at 16?"
"Yup," Reed nodded.
"So she's older?"
"By about five years," he nodded.
"Huh….cool," I grumbled, "I swear, it's like everyone's in love."
Sue smiled, "relax Peter, I'm still on your team."
I grumbled again, "yeah but you're hot. You can get someone like that," I snapped my fingers.
