2008 - A young kid rides his bike adventurously through large dune-like dirt hills; Johnny Storm. He's chasing the thrill, at a young age the true feeling of ADRENALINE. He takes off the largest hill he can find. Johnny is FLYING. Unfortunately his landing isn't too pretty. He hits the ground rough and tumbles over and over. Johnny's body lays there lifeless. Two legs step into the frame where Johnny lays. He hops up and says "Did you get that?!" The camera reveals a young Sue Storm holding a camcorder, she signals Johnny with a thumbs up. Sue presses the stop button and pulls out of her backpack a portable first aid kit. She starts to tend to Johnny's skinned knee. She ask "When are you going to learn how to land." Johnny goes on about the feeling of flying through the air and how it's worth it. Johnny's a reckless kid but smart, he took the pegs off his bike to shed some weight to fly higher. Johnny picks up his bike and takes the pegs out of Sue's bag. She puts them on his bike and gets of, Sue gets on the back with her feet on the pegs. Sue tells Johnny "Don't go too fast." Johnny replies "I won't Sue." The two take off heading home--
FOOTBALL FIELD
Lights shine on a packed football field. Ben Grimm has just scored the winning touchdown for his school. All his family is there to celebrate but someone is missing; Reed. In the bathroom a young poindexter kid is being shoved into the stall by a bully. "Come on Richards fight back!" the kid says. Reed is traumatized, he snaps, and attempts to throw his fist at the bully. A body comes between the two before Reed's fist connects; Ben.
"Reed, this guy bothering you?"-Ben
"Ben? Don't you have a game to win?"-Reed
"I already did, but I could always blow off some extra steam."-Ben
The bully jets before calling Ben the "Grimm Reaper."
Ben and Reed walk home past a particular street sign "Yancy St." Reed ask Ben if he can show him something. The two go to Reed's garage. Reed has built a prototype Quantum Gate. He ask to hold Ben's game winning football. He places it on the telepotation pad.
"Reed what's this?"-Ben
Reed starts to explain in intense detail the Quantum Gate.
"Reed....In english."-Ben
"It's a teleporter. The key to teleportation is shifting matter through adjacent dimensions, located right here within ours. Our world consist of infinite possibilities, we make choices everyday, but what happens to the other possibilities? For every positive there has to be a negative."-Reed
"So Reed you're going to send my game winning football to some 'Negative Zone'?"-Ben
Reed Smiles.
"I promise to bring it back Ben."-Ben
Reed turns it on, lights start to flicker.
"Reed?"-Ben
"Yeah?"-Reed
"You've done this before right?"-Ben
"Nope."-Reed
The football disappears into the light. It's gone. The lights in the whole neighborhood go out. Ben stands there shocked. Reed starts scrambling around the dark garage. He grabs a flashlight and switches it on. Reed slowly walks over to the q-gate. A football is shown, rebuilding itself literally from thin air. It soon stops, Reed examines the football with the flashlight. Something is wrong with it.
"It's discolored."-Reed
Reed sets the flashlight on his desk and grabs a pen and paper and starts writing notes. Ben grabs for the football--
"Ben no!"-Reed
Ben grabs his ball. Nothing...
"Wow you did it Reed..."-Ben
Ben goes to the other side of the garage.
"Go wide"-Ben
The two play catch with the football in Reed's garage.
The flashlight fades out...
NOW
Stars fade in. Space. Ben is shown piloting a shuttle. Johnny is onboard doing maintenance work on the hydraulics system. Johnny accidentally overshoots the fueling tank causing Ben to thrust more than wanted. Johnny quickly rushes to the cockpit.
"What did you do Johnny?!"-Ben
"It was an accident."-Johnny
"Hang on."-Ben
Johnny sits down and straps him self in. Ben tries to control the shuttle but it's too much weight.
"She's too heavy we need to shed some weight"-Ben
Johnny starts pressing buttons on the coms. Pieces of the shuttle detach. It soon starts to nosedive, heading for Earth.
"Johnny!"-Ben
"This is so "my bad"-Johnny
The shuttle rockets through the earth's atmosphere and straight to the ocean. The camera is positioned behind Ben and Johnny looking out the cockpit--BLACK everything goes dark. The cock pit windows light up with a dossier of Johnny Storm then a big red "F" comes on the screen. Another dossier of Ben comes up with the letter "B" in green.
This was a simulation exam.
The PA systems cracks in...
"Ben good job figuring out to shed the weight of the shuttle, unfortunately you're partner didn't take the precautions he was supposed to and exulted your fuel. Johnny--"
"Yeah Dad?"-Johnny
"You have to start taking life a bit more serious. You cannot in this world and only look out for yourself. You have to bear in mind your team. What if I had been on that ship?-"
Johnny looks nonchalantly.
"Or Sue?"
He looks a bit more serious.
"Got it dad."-Johnny

Victor writes on the board solving the problem.
"It's the look of embarrassment."-Victor
Victor slowly walks back to his seat looking at Sue.
"Actually Dr.Molekevic, and Victor, your answer is wrong."-Reed
