Meeting Friends

The very next day Jack goes to Baxter Building. He enters the building and is stopped by the security of the building. They didn't recognize Jack who says, "The security is pretty tight, isn't it?"

"I'm sorry about that sir. It's just that the last two months mysterious things happened and the last week they got even weirder," says the security man informing Jack about why they increased the security.

"Any vacancy in the building?" asks Jack wanting to know if there were free apartments.

"Yes, some people left the building after a month the strange things began to happen. But most rather stayed because the rent is quite cheap because of the new owner of the building," says the security guard as he finishes the check-up on Jack and lets him pass.

Jack takes the elevator up and comes out on the level where the Fantastic Four resided and walks in the hall until Johnny stops him.

"This is private property you shouldn't be here. How did you even get up here?" asks Johnny who doesn't recognize Jack. Jack, on the other hand, was laughing and takes Graves out.

"You can have fun with him. Just don't kill him," says Jack with a smile that froze Johnny when he saw Graves pointing his guns at Johnny.

Now Johnny knew who the man in front of him was and says nervous, "Jack, come on buddy. I didn't mean what I said. Can't you forgive me this one time."

"Nop," says Jack as Graves begins to chase Johnny through the rooms shooting rubber balls at him.

Jack then walks to his lab and takes Rachel's chip out and puts her in an old prototype and says, "Sorry about not giving you a new body for now. But I still need to see Tony to find out how far he has got with the nanotech. Maybe I can improve you two with that information."

"I can live for now in this body. Even if I hate it," says Rachel disgusted that she couldn't transform in her actual body.

"Don't worry I will make you a nice new body," says Jack.

At the same time, Susan and Ben were walking in the hall when they see Graves chasing Johnny. They immediately knew who returned and made their way towards Jack's lab ignoring Johnny's plead for help as he was being chased.

They arrive at Jack's lab and find him talking to Rachel. "So you are finally back. I must say I was a little worried about you when Johnny told us you disappeared," says Ben honestly as both approach Jack.

"I had some nice vacation on another earth. But everything has to end so I returned. So, I heard you have a little troublemaker while I was away," says Jack.

"Yes, he is sleeping right now. We try to let him sleep as much as possible since he is quite troublesome when awake. Also, we try not to excite him since he will use his power unconsciously when he is excited or when he cries," says Susan as she sighs in front of Jack.

"Maybe, I should seal his power for now until he is old enough to control them," says Jack picking both interests.

"What do you mean?" asks Ben when Jack's black chains surround Ben and slowly the rocks around him begin to fall to the ground leaving a normal human behind.

"That's what I mean. Didn't Banner tell you that I can do this? I sealed the Hulk that is inside him," says Jack as he sees Ben beginning to cry from seeing human hands instead of rocky ones.

"Will I be for now a normal human or forever?" asks Ben as he sees the Black Chains around him.

"I could try to make you a watch that can control your powers if you want. With it, you can live like a normal human while in extreme times you can change back into the thing. It would take me some minutes since I need materials that expand with your wrists so it doesn't break when you change back into the thing," says Jack as he begins to work on it quite fast with his speed and magic and hands it over to Ben.

He retracts his chains and Ben turns back into his Rocky form then Jack outs the watch on Ben's wrist and says, "Touch the blue button to change into a normal human and the Red to turn into your Rocky form."

Ben does as said and he returns to be a normal human after pushing the blue button. Susan couldn't believe that Jack only needed some minutes to figure a way to help Ben that fast.

"Now how about we see the little troublemaker and I seal his power for now," says Jack while thinking, 'And taking some of the kid's powers.'

"Will you seal Franklin's power completely?" asks Susan worried about her son.

"No only temporary. I could completely seal it if you want but he should get his shot when he is older, don't you think so?" says Jack.

"*sighs* I can't have a normal family anyway right," says Susan.

"Neither do I, trust me," says Jack confirming Susan's sentence as his children will be greater freaks than Susan's children will ever be.

"Why are you already planning on having children?" asks Ben interested.

"Yes," says Jack making Ben lose his balance for a moment after hearing Jack's answer.

"Aren't you too young?" asks Susan worried about Jack.

"Not really. I'm almost reaching my seventeenth birthday and we are already working on it," says Jack with a smile as the three arrive at Franklin's room.

Franklin was sleeping in his cradle when they entered and Jack picks the boy up while saying, "I will need him awake and excited, I think."

"Is that necessary?" asks Susan worried about what Franklin would do.

"Yes, don't worry it should be over before he starts.

Jack awakens Franklin, who begins to cry because he was awakened from his sleep. Franklin uses unconsciously his powers and tries to push Jack back but the Black Chains were in place around Franklin sealing his power until he is five years old and absorbs part of it.

"He should be a normal boy now until he turns five," says Jack as Franklin was crying and nothing was happening.

But the crying brought over two other people. Reed and Banner entered the room worried that chaos would start again. They see a giant man holding Franklin while Susan and a normal Ben were with him.

"What is going on here?" asks Reed not understanding why Susan isn't trying to stop Franklin from crying.

"Ah, Reed long time not seen. Dr. Banner, I see you found your way here without my help," says Jack confusing Reed but not Banner.

"Jack is that you?" asks Banner figuring out that his Hulk Powers made Jack this tall and buff.

"Yes, I returned yesterday from my journey. I heard you all entered the Negative Zone and brought interesting things back," says Jack interested in what they found.

"We found some ores that we never saw before. Some metal that Tony named Vibranium and another metal that was almost impossible to melt once it is solid," says Banner explaining what they found.

"Can you show it to me?" asks Jack as Franklin stopped crying when Jack made him float through the air. Franklin had fun but Susan was worried that her son would fall to the ground. Then Franklin floats towards Susan's arms with Jack's help as Jack follows Banner and Reed to another floor.

They arrive at a room that was filled with both metals and Reed says, "Those are your percentage we agreed on."

"Good to know. I might use them to build my house with," says Jack as he takes Adamantium in his hand and uses his eyebeam on them and it didn't melt.

"That's new," says Reed surprised Jack using that.

"I learned some new tricks on my journey. That's one of them. Let's try this trick now," says Jack as his hand fazes through the Adamantium making Reed and Banner open their mouths wide.

Then he picks it up again but without touching it until it landed on his hand. Then his hand begins to catch fire and begins to vibrate it makes it fluid again. "It's quite hard to make it fluid again. It would be quite useful," says Jack before it solidified again.

Then he takes Vibranium into his hand and plays with it and says, "This one is quite interesting. It isn't as durable as the other one but has another function that has better function. No wonder Tony used this metal to make his new suit."

"So you figured it out already. Yes, Tony bought this metal over the other one. Since he can't use the one you melted so easily before," says Banner.

"This is all mine, right?" asks Jack to be sure.

"Yes, just like in the contract," says Reed.

"Alright then," says Jack as he puts his ring in front of all the metal and it disappears in his ring.

"That ring of yours is a little mystery to me even with creating something similar in the last 6 months," says Reed.

"I will leave for now. I need to see Tony now. Later I will return to work on some improvement and repairs. Graves and Rachel suffered on this adventure," says Jack as he opens a window and flies away towards the Stark Tower.

"He now has more secrets than before it seems," says Reed seeing Jack fly.

"Well it's good he is on our side, don't you think so," says Banner.

"It's just disturbing that he has that much power," says Reed as he turns around to focus on his next project while Graves was still chasing Johnny around.

Jack in the meantime arrives at the new Stark Tower and finds Tony in his office.

"Oh, you came quite fast," says Tony who was overlooking some reports that Pepper left on his table.

"I'm quite fast when it's not in bed," says Jack as he approaches Tony while saying, "Now how about I look over those documents fast for you and tell you everything that is interesting."

Jack than reads everything fast and explains everything to Tony, who says, "Now I really want to have some superpower."

"Not really that funny if you can't control them. Now how about you show me what you made with the metal you bought," says Jack interested to find out.

"I listened to your suggestion and made a surgery after making this armor," says Tony as his suit was now far more advanced than it should be in this timeline by having already an MK L armor and says, "Everything thanks to your suggestions, I made major improvements on my armors and with the Vibranium Reed excavated from the negative zone I made even further improvements."

Tony then shows to Jack everything and explains how everything works while they discuss on further improvements and Jack says, "How comes you didn't make one for Peter?"

Then a wall opens and three Spider-suits appear behind the wall.

"Its because he should learn with the Spandex first I thought," says Tony picking Jack's interest.

"You mentoring?" asks Jack.

"Had to since his mentor left all of a sudden," says Tony explaining his relationship with Peter.

"Well, it's good that he made some friends he can rely on while I was away. I will leave now. I can now create a real transformer with all this information making Graves and Rachel the first ones on this Planet," says Jack excited about what he was about to build.

"Can I see the finished product?" asks Tony as he sees Jack walk to the balcony again.

"Of course. Its thanks to your help that I could make it possible," says Jack as he flied back to the Baxter Building.
