บท 57: Bumping Confectionaries...

I stand from my seat and begin to follow Johnny out of the room. "Very eloquent way of putting it Johnny, I quite like it. 'Lets go see the telepath fondle Ben's brain', never change Johnny." I say to him but in response he only says "huh?" While looking back to see what I had said but I just tell him to ignore it which he has no problem doing as he continues his journey across the hall to the elevator and I'm following him to it as apparently we'll be going to Reed's lab to have Ben's mind checked over for some reason but I'm sure whatever the reason is it'll be good and maybe Reed wants to analyse how the professor does his thing because that guys always curious no matter what and it doesn't matter if it's even close to his field of experience as long as it interests him he'll try to find out more, following Johnny along the corridor towards the elevator I notice the rest of the Fantastic Four as well as the professor and sorority get inside the elevator and instead of waiting for us who have just left the conference room they instead take the elevator presumably to the 33rd which is just below this one and which is also Reed's laboratory and I can't fault them for not waiting for us since we are lagging behind plus the elevators are super quick so by the time we get there the elevator should already be back and waiting for us to enter it and follow them down a floor.

"So? Who was it?" I'm knocked out of my thoughts by Johnny starting a conversation during our walk to the elevator though I'm a bit surprised that it's a question and one that I'm very confused by, who was what? "What? What are you on about Johnny?" I ask him but he just annoyingly turns around so that he's walking backwards towards the elevator and shoots a smirk at me like it's obvious what he meant, I hope he trips and falls. "You know what I mean. Cmon Nick, this is my area of expertise after all." He says making me even more confused and weirded out, I begin to shake my head at him hoping he'll get the message. "Sorry, I honestly can't say I do. Mind informing what you are actually on about before I get tired of you and start pretending your invisible like your sister?" I threaten him and though he get the message he doesn't seem to be very scared of it but regardless he begins to clear up the situation and reveal what he's on about, I wonder what it is. "I meant whose the lucky girl that you bumped uglies with last night?" My breath hitches when he says the and I begin to sputter. "W-what?" I let out bewildered though Johnny takes the opportunity to tease me a little more. "Ya know what I mean, the girl you took to pound town, whose kitty did ya feed, who did ya knock boots with, whose oil did ya check, who did ya do two person push ups with, whose biscuit did you butter, whose doughnut did you give the cream fill-" I reach out and pushed him backwards when he continues on with the metaphors some of which were a bit gross, luckily he manages to catch himself but even so he still begins to laugh. "How did you even know? It's not like I shouted it from the rooftops." I say quite shocked that he somehow found out about it.

"Haha, you might as well have because it's clear as day. Your face says it all." He laughs out stopping all the metaphors he was clearly having a fun time thinking up, how can this guy e such an idiot yet so intuitive at the same time. "I very much doubt my face told you anything because you can hardly read let alone read expressions, how did you tell?" I question yet again because I very much doubt the fact that Johnny read my expression when Charles Xavier couldn't even read my mind, I press X godammit. "Well yeah I guess you're right, I noticed that you looked a bit happier than you usually do but o wouldn't have been able to tell if you didn't do something that you usually do everyday. It was pretty clear when you didn't do it that you must've gotten some company recently." I quirk an eyebrow. "Oh, and what is this thing that I do every day but didn't do today? Go on then, tell me." I ask him which he nods to and reveals a second later. "Well usually you would ogle my sister quite a lot and check her out but today you didn't do that, well not much compared to usual at least but still." What, do I really look at Susan that much. "Sure we met the dark goddess that is Storm today and you spent a pretty long time checking her out in the conference room which I also did but even then you didn't do it as much as you have in the last few weeks and adding your smile and upbeat attitude into the equation I can only conclude that you got 'some' last night." He says quite nonchalantly like he didn't just say I've been to piercing on his sister, how am I not being roasted right now. "Listen Johnny, I'm s-" I try to apologise to him knowing that I've pretty much been exposed though I'm surprised when he raises his hand telling me to belay that apology. "It's fine dude, I know my sister is pretty cute which shouldn't be a surprise since she shares the same genes as me. Plus if you had a hot sister I would definitely hit on her and probably already have slept with her after all she wouldn't be able to resist my charm so it's fine that your just being a pervert, it's not like your actually doing anything wrong."

I chuckle awkwardly at his points before I decide to skip past it entirely, I suppose I do spend quite a bit of time looking at Susan and her beautiful everything. "Wow Johnny, you're like a regular Sherlock Holmes. Except you can only solve things that are sex related." I joke around to which he responds quite friendly. "Guess that make you my Waterson, eh? Johnny Storm Sex Detective, solving every sticky crime and discovering exactly how long it's been since someone last had sex." He about to continue when his back collided against the elevator doors which I noticed he was nearing but decided not to point it out towards him as it might've been funny but unfortunately it wasn't, we'll get em next time. Johnny presses the button for the elevator putting our conversation along the wayside and the elevator doors open up instantly so he steps inside with me following him after which he presses the button for the 33rd floor and the elevator zooms off downwards which should only give us a few more seconds to talk before we arrive at our destination and Johnny seems to want to make the most of that. "So? Whose the girl you spent last night with." He asks while waiting for the elevator to take us to our destination and so I answer back in a clipped to e to show that I don't actually want to talk. "It's just an old friend, I don't wanna talk about it. Please." I ask and it seems like he's about to talk again but fortunately a beep sounds out as the elevator comes to a sudden stop at the 33rd floor and stops our entire conversation.

The elevator doors open up and I'm mesmerised by what I see...
