Elena smiled as she watched Johnny escort Sue down the isle to the alter. He joined her seconds later and laced their fingers together. Even though it bothered Ben, after Elena dying it opened all of their eyes that they can't wait forever to show their true feelings.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to Reed Richards and Sue Storm together," the Minister spoke until he was interrupted yet again by Reed's Palm Pilot, "In holy..matri—"
Sue leaned over to Reed, "What is it?"
"Venice is sinking into the Adriatic," Reed replied. Elena smirked, realizing that is was time to leave again.
"Oh boy. That's a biggie," Ben said to Alicia. Sue turned to the Minister again before using the exact same line Reed used in their previous wedding.
"Could we just, skip to the end?" Reed looked at her in shock as the two younger members let out a laugh.
"Yeah, uh-the love these two share-"
"No, the very end," Reed urged him even more. Elena and Johnny were struggling to contain their laughs.
"Yeah, great," Elena gave a sympathetic look to the Minister who looked so prepared for this wedding, just like the other ones, "Uh, do you have the rings?"
Ben stepped forward and handed Reed the rings. The couple took them before slipping them on each other's fingers. The looked happily at each other but when the minister forgot to continue, they turned and looked at him.
"Oh! I now pronounce you man and wife and you may kiss the bride," Reed and Sue leaned forward and pressed their lips together in the kiss the had been waiting for. They were finally married.
"Okay," Sue sounded like she was on Cloud 9 and didn't want to come down, "We should get out of here."
"Yeah," Reed agreed. The two newlyweds all but ran down the aisle down to where the hovercraft was parked.
"Got to go, hun," Ben said kissing Alicia once before going to the hovercraft where Elena and Johnny already were. They reached the hovercraft just when Sue turned towards Reed.
"I have to throw the bouquet," Reed smiled and leaned back as Sue turned towards the woman that had gathered to catch the flowers. Sue turned and let out a laugh before throwing the bouquet over her head. The women shouted as they stretched for it. Sue turned around to watch as Elena crossed her arms.
Johnny leaned down next to Elena and held their hands together in front of their faces, fingers pointed, "Care to join me?" he asked. Elena's lips spread into a wide smile as she moved both their fingers towards the bouquet. The red flowers suddenly burst into a glittery flaming puff of dust, that sparkled down around the women. Everyone spun to face the two as silence fell upon the area.
"Sorry," Elena shrugged.
"Reflex," Johnny smirked before taking Elena's hand. The lavender dress she had on top of her suit suddenly vanished as she burst into white flames, diamonds glittering underneath, Johnny burst into his own flames before the two took off into the sky. The hovercraft took off into the air. The children all around them laughed and shouted and waved as the hovercraft and two flaming bodies, flew into the sky. The three section separated into the air as each flew in a different direction. Smoke trailed behind them as they twisted and turned in the air. As the three pods and two flaming people flew away, the Fantastic Five logo sone bright in the air, showing everyone that they were safe from whatever threat may come.
Six months and four days. Johnny thought as he woke up that morning. It's been six months and four days since the world almost ended. It's been six month and four days since I fought off Victor alone. His heart sank as he sat up. It's been six months and four days since Glow died, but it's been six months and four days since she came back.
"Stop thinking so much," a sleepy voice groaned next to him, "I can practically hear your head working."
Johnny smirked as he watched Elena look up at him with grey eyes, her tan skin was pushed against the lavender sheets as she brushed her short white hair out of her face. Her nose twitched before smiling, "Good morning, Glow," he whispered as she closed her eyes and hummed a good morning back.
Why am I so nervous?
"Johnny," she sighed, practically hearing him stressing. Sitting up onto her side and propped her elbow up to support her head she looked at him after fixing the tank top she wore to bed, "Hey," she cooed running her hand over his cheek, "What's going on?"
Johnny looked over her concerned face, eyes focusing on the white glittering scar on her temple that was three inches long and then the other rather fist sized white glittering scar that was on her chest, "Glow," he whispered stroking her cheek, "Not too long ago you said the words to me. All you have to do is ask. And I did. I asked a lot of questions, because I was concerned and worried about you, then after what happened with the Surfer, things just became even more clearer when I realized that I couldn't live my life the way I lived it anymore."
"Johnny," Elena said making his rambling stop, he was talking so fast she was afraid he'd croak, "Breath. And just talk to me," she gave a bright smile when he took a deep breath.
"I've asked you a lot of questions, but none that are important as this," Elena immediately sat up when he pulled a blue box out from under his pillow. Her grey eyes widened as she looked up at him, "Elena Annabeth Brighton," he started making her face soften, "Glow. Seeing you impaled with a spear in your chest made me realize something," she looked at him with the same sparkling look she's given him everyday, "I love you," they hadn't gotten to saying that yet, "I've loved you since I first laid eyes on you and it took you dying and then undying to realize that," he let out an airy chuckle, "And I want nothing more than to spend the rest of my life with you," he opened the box revealing the prettiest diamond ring she'd ever seen. It was sparkling, simple and beautiful, tiny diamonds covered the slim band which framed the larger diamond like flames. It looked like a fire gem, "Glow, will you marry me?"
Elena didn't think. She moved. Tackling Johnny into a large kiss that nocked both of them over and onto the bed in their room, which was once hers. Fire exploded from their kiss, but the room was fireproof, including their pyjamas. Elena pressed her body against Johnny as she felt his flames dance with hers. She pulled back when she heard him laughing, "Why are you laughing?"
Johnny looked at her as both of their flames vanished and he smiled, "You haven't answered!" he laughed making her throw the blue box at him. Defeat hit him much harder than the Tiffany box and he sighed before looking up making him freeze.
Elena was sitting crossed legged on the bed with the ring on her slender finger, allowing it to glitter in the rising sunlight she had the same look on her face whenever she looked at Reed and Sue together or Ben and Alicia, pure happiness. She glanced up at Johnny and smirk, "I think that answers your question."
Before he could move she darted out of the room, screaming at the top of her lungs for Sue and Alicia to wake up. He could hear Ben yelling at her to shut up and Reed asking if she was okay. Johnny chuckled before glancing at the window. He stopped seeing parts of the glass diamonized.
Yes.

AN: AWWWWWWWWWWWW! it's done. I can't believe it. Like I seriously cannot believe it! This honestly means so much to me and it brings me to tears that this story is over. I cannot even describe what you guys mean to me for sticking with this for so long and giving such positive feed back. I believe I've come far as a writer and hope to expand more in my other stories.
Do you like the ending? I didn't want to go into too much of what happened afterwards, I wanted to show how grateful the characters were to be alive and well since life is so precious. I've loved writing with these characters and have had a lot of fun sitting in my living room with a latte next to me writing for hours as sad music pours out of my computer.
If you have any questions feel free to send me a message and I will get back to you ASAP. I'm working on some other stories, some are on HIATUS since I've sworn to only post COMPLETED stories instead of going one chapter at a time. I'm working on THREE Captain America/Avenger stories. Transformers. The Hobbit maybe two. Lord of the Rings. Percy Jackson. Hunger Games. Several Harry Potter stories. Mass Effect. Halo. Once Upon a Time. Fast and Furious. And much much more! Please, if you haven't already. Check out my bio. I have several links on there for pictures and my Pinterest account. I'll have my YouTube channel linked in there soon, if not now, so you can check out what's happening.
I love you all so much and stay alert for any new stories that can pop up just around the river bend!
