Sue Richards was standing in front of a gravestone, wearing a trenchcoat over her suit. She looked at it and started tearing up.
"All this time... I never suspected it would happen so soon... I thought we would be together longer... maybe see our kids through college... be at their weddings... why did it have to be now?" said Sue with sadness. "Reed... I... I can't lead like you did... you were always so confident and always knew things would work out... but now... I just can't do what you did... I'm not you... and I never will be..."
Sue then knelt down and hugged the gravestone, which was marked "Reed Richards, beloved son, brother, husband, brother-in-law, father and friend". The death of Reed had hurt a lot of people. Hank Pym locked himself up in his laboratory, and his wife Jan has only heard whimpers coming out of the laboratory ever since Hank got the bad news. Tony Stark broke up many times while trying to deliver his eulogy at the funeral, same with Ben Grimm. But Sue was in even more pain than them. This was the love of her life. She couldn't live without him.
Suddenly, someone else walked up to her. It's Medusa, Queen of the Inhumans. She seemed to be tearing up as well.
"I... I understand your pain, Sue... being a widow myself..." said Medusa with sadness. "I'm so sorry for your loss."
Sue stood up and hugged Medusa, crying on her shoulder. Medusa returned the hug, allowing Sue to let it all out.

"Y'know...it really is a bad sign when the punks on Yancy Street lemme walk here scot free."
A cracking deep voice coming from a large form in a trenchcoat and that revealed the Thing. "But what hurts worse Suzie...is hearin' dat bupkis that you ain't got what it takes to look after us. You ain't Stretcho, no one can be...but y'don't see da truth. You wuz always leading us. Reed...he was...he always told me that he would likely forget to eat without you...and he did. He lead...because of you. You were his guidin' voice. Johnny and me...we ain't got dis. Your kid bro is as hot headed as his flames and me...bleedin' heart and a thick head don't get a guy far. Doomsie shows up and says one thing and it all goes to fudge."
He took off his hat, revealing his own wet face. "Until you speak up. Girl, you're the one person in this team who Namor and Doom pause for. Think about dat, ok?" He said as he teared up. "You can't leave it to me Suzie...I'm da weakest of us, not you. Besides...think of da kids. Dey need ya to do double time now." He squeezed his fedora. "Besides...all this new crazy crap going around...it ain't done. It can't be done. We got so many strangers, someone...Christ Mar-Vell is alive again. We might not have working Infinity Stones no more, I dunno. Reed said something before it got bad dat dey might not be 100% no mores...but someone...anyone...hasta have an answer. We're gonna bring him back. I...I ain't gonna take that damn cure until we find it. He is gonna see it damn it." He then began to cry. "We just gotta....try...we just...gotta."

Sue looked at Ben and went to him, hugging him tightly. "We will, Ben... I won't give up until we bring him back." said Sue as she cried. "And this time... make sure he doesn't buy a new pipe." She chuckled a bit at her joke. Medusa walked to Ben. "While you search for some way to bring Reed back, I will be the fourth member. After all, you are supposed to be the Fantastic Four. And you'll need all the help you can get to bring Reed back." said Medusa. "Yeah..." said Sue with a smile before turning to Ben. "How are the kids, Ben? Are they taking his death hard?"

"Franklin is poppin' in and outta reality. He is...trying to find an out fer Redd. Kid is scared of just willin' him back. I think seeing Hyperstorm snagged by dat Strangefate guy and banished threw him. Kid says the new worlds brought over people who might not be glad he can warp things. Valeria...last I saw she wuz tweakin' Dragon Man." Thing said to her. "He and Herbie have 'em covered."

"I guess none of us can accept Reed being dead... we just seem to be willing to bring him back no matter what. He said he was planning to help Hank with his Yellowjacket problem, but he died before he even got the chance."

"Yeah, about dat. He wanted ta ask his Amalgamate fer help. Dat Kord guy." Thing said to her. "So Hank at least has an option. Also...his kid is out dere, trying to avoid his evil self." Thing said referring to the missing Mark Pym and Ultron.

Thing said referring to the missing Mark Pym and Ultron. "Well, now we have to search for him... before Ultron finds him. Maybe he could help us as well." said Sue. Medusa looked around. "We should keep moving... it's not easy being in a graveyard. Too much pain..." said Medusa as she had memories of Black Bolt.

Not tellin' Suzie, but I told Val." He made a fist. "I'm gonna get Victor to help us. I know, too bad. It evens dis all out so don't gimmie yer lip. I just...if I don't commit on da same level...how worthless am I?" He wiped his eyes. "Don't get comfy Reed. I needja to come back. I miss the headaches I got from all yer nerd speak." He smiled before turning and walking off. "COMING SUZIE!!"

I dunno what else we can do today... not feeling up to anything." said Sue.

"Exactly why we should do somethin' today. Reed might have lived in his damn lab too much, but he didn't waste a second of his life mopin' around. Suzie...ya gotta start livin' again." Ben told her. "Look...it's not sounding appealing to me either...but this is what he'd want."

"Look...it's not sounding appealing to me either...but this is what he'd want." "Yes... Reed didn't give up on living while he was ill... his body may have given up when he finished the serum, but he still wanted to keep living and help others." said Medusa. "A human can stand so much, but the body has limits."

I guess we need to do something to get over our grief." said Sue. "*sigh* I wonder how Jan is doing... I bet having Hank locked up in his lab really must be depressing her."
