Chapter One: Transmigration

The air hummed with electricity as Reed Richards adjusted the dials on the control panel. The space station around them creaked under the stress of its rapid orbit, and the cosmic storm they had come to study was rapidly approaching. Beside him, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm exchanged uneasy glances.

"Are you sure this is safe?" Ben asked, his gruff voice laced with concern. His massive hands gripped the railing as the ship vibrated.

"It's science, Ben," Johnny quipped, his trademark smirk plastered on his face. "What's the worst that could happen?"

The four of them weren't alone. Sitting off to the side, trying to make sense of what was happening, was you. Or rather, someone who used to be you.

---

Just days ago, you had been an ordinary person—an avid fan of Marvel and Pixar alike—devouring comics and movies in your free time. But when you closed your eyes to sleep one night, you woke up here, on a spaceship alongside the soon-to-be Fantastic Four. You weren't even sure how it was possible. It wasn't a dream, but reality had shifted in ways that defied explanation. To make things stranger, your body was... different.

Somehow, you knew that you weren't the same. There was a crackling energy deep within your cells, a potential waiting to be unlocked. The thought sent chills down your spine, though you hadn't dared to share it with the others. After all, how could you explain to them that you were an intruder in their world?

---

"Brace yourselves! The storm is here!" Reed's voice snapped you back to the present.

Before anyone could react, the station was engulfed by waves of cosmic energy. Lights flickered and alarms blared as the storm tore through the ship. You felt the energy wash over you—a searing heat followed by an icy chill. It was unlike anything you had ever experienced, as if your entire body was being rewritten on a molecular level.

The next few moments were chaos. The ship spun out of control, systems failing one by one. Reed's voice was drowned out by the roar of the storm, and the world faded to black.

---

When you woke, the first thing you noticed was the stillness. The ship was grounded, somewhere back on Earth. You could hear the groans of the others as they stirred nearby.

"Everyone okay?" Reed's voice cut through the haze.

"I feel... strange," Sue murmured, her hand flickering out of sight as it briefly turned invisible. Johnny's body suddenly ignited in flames, and Ben's skin began to harden into rock. The transformation of the Fantastic Four had begun.

But something was happening to you, too. A strange warmth spread through your body, and instinctively, you clenched your fist. The metal panel beneath your hand bent under the pressure. You gasped, stepping back, only to realize that your movements had become unnaturally fast.

"Uh, guys?" you stammered. "I think something's happening to me too."

The group turned to look at you. As they did, your body began to shift again. In the blink of an eye, you stretched upward, your limbs elongating like rubber. Then, just as suddenly, your form snapped back to normal.

"I... I think I have powers too," you whispered, stunned.

Reed's eyes lit up with curiosity. "Fascinating. It seems the cosmic storm affected all of us, but your abilities are... different."

Different didn't even begin to cover it. Over the next few hours, as the group tried to piece together what had happened, you discovered the full extent of your powers. Like the Parr family from The Incredibles, you had developed a suite of abilities: super strength, elasticity, speed, and invisibility.

---

The others welcomed you into their ranks without hesitation. Reed, ever the scientist, saw you as an invaluable addition to the team. Sue and Johnny treated you like family, while Ben offered a grudging nod of approval.

But you couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to this. Why had you been brought here? And why did your powers mirror those of characters from another universe entirely?

As the Fantastic Four prepared for their next mission, you vowed to uncover the truth about your arrival in this world. For now, though, you had a role to play: as the fifth member of Marvel's first family, a hero destined to reshape their story.

Little did you know, your presence in this universe would change everything.
