Threat or not?

While Arthur was leisurely having a nap in the room, a discussion concerning him was currently taking place at the bridge of the Helicarrier.

Captain America, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Spiderman, 'Invisible Woman' Susan Storm, 'Human Torch' Johnny Storm, Nick Fury, Agent Maria Hill, Phil Coulson, 'Mister Fantastic' Reed Richards, Ben Grimm 'The Thing'. Three Avengers, The Fantastic Four, SHIELD all of them together in the middle of the night not for any Extradimensional Threat but for Arthur Wolf!

Susan and Johnny awoke a bit later into the discussion, Johnny just sat in a chair with his Head down in a depressed manner as though still in denial and not participating in the discussion. Susan was feeling an awful hangover but she could still hear and process the situation.

"Now that Things are like this with Arthur having evidence that he just acted in Self Defence, what do you guys think?" Looking around the people with his one eye, Nick Fury asked.

"It's my fault, I misunderstood him. At that time, one of puppet master's minion was tracking me so I thought they were together. And if it weren't for me, Johnny wouldn't have rushed in so recklessly." Susan whispered annoyedly, she now regrated drinking so much wine.

"Johnny?" Nick Fury asked.

Johnny didn't talk, just lowered his head. It seems that he hadn't yet recovered from the blow.

"I wanna meet Mr. Arthur Wolf." Susan said in a small yet determined tone.

"What… Why do even want to see him after what he did to Johnny?" Reed Richards yelled towards Susan as though outraged by the thought.

Nick Fury just eyed Susan for a few seconds then said, "Alright, Agent Romanoff escort Miss Susan Storm to Mr. Wolf's accommodation."

While Natasha took Susan towards Arthur's room, Reed Richards said "Director Fury, this was not a question of who was in the right or wrong, but his ability is very dangerous and a threat to Heroes!"

"First of all, the abilities of each of you is a Threat, even if one of you lost control it can easily cause significant damage to the world and result in casualties. Secondly, even though Arthur's ability is indeed a threat but as long as it is used well and for good, he can be a powerful asset for our side which would give us a sizeable boost." said Phil Coulson instead of Nick Fury "At least so far he helped us in a high threat mission and he is also SHIELD Consultant."

"In that case, what else can we say? We can't pursue this matter legally since, even though it is frustrating, it was a misunderstanding from our side. But… don't ask us to help him in any difficult situation also." Reed then got up and said "Till then we will wait for Susan."

Reed and Ben got up from their chairs and went to sit down with Johnny to try and cheer him up.

"This probably won't be the end of this matter." Captain America said.

"At least, this prevented the worst case scenario. As for their hostility? Almost all people have it against someone but as long as it doesn't interfere with their Hero work or affect civilians let them solve it themselves. If push comes to shove then we will intervene. Not to mention, Mr. Reed Richards is a scientist and Miss Susan Storm is a Biologist so maybe they can find a way for Johnny's power to be restored." said Nick Fury. "As for Arthur, we will observe him for a period of time, as long as he is on our side and does good, his ability can be a great asset. Our world may face the threat of Extinction by aliens or Gods at any time, danger is everywhere in today's chaotic world and every single person counts. This was also the reason why Avengers was established!"

"Do you want him to join Avengers?" Captain America asked.

"His personality is not suited for Avengers. So for the time being, No."

Arthur woke up from his short Nap after hearing a knocking sound from his door. He then saw Susan entering, so he greeted her: "Hey Beautiful, I knew you wouldn't leave without seeing me."

Hearing this Susan just stared at him without saying anything for a few seconds. Then she said " I want to apologize to you on My and Johnny's behalf for this misunderstanding."

Arthur then cheekily said: "Oh don't be sorry beautiful. I would be cursed by gentlemen across the world for making a girl as beautiful and s*xy as you apologize. As for Johnny he already paid his price."

"Even though it was a misunderstanding and it was indeed Johnny's mistake for attacking you but he was just trying to save me. Why did you take his powers for this?"

"Johnny Storm wouldn't have lasted long in the Hero Business with his Childish mentality, arrogance and conceitedness. Down the road there would've been only two outcomes for him, he becomes mature or he looses his life. Now I saved you from further tragedy by teaching him a lesson on your behalf. As for his Powers, I left him a way out. Due to the special way through which you Fantastic Four received your powers, i.e. The Cosmic Storm, as long as you still have the connection to the cosmic storm in your body, you will naturally recover your powers. Hence, I didn't fully take all of Johnny's powers and left a small trace of them. Maybe he will recover his powers in 6 months or 2 years I don't know, but he will. Till then you should teach him some important lessons for hero duty and tone down his arrogance. And next time remember to not get so drunk while you are alone." (A.N. This is complete BS I invented on the fly, since in comments I got like half people asking to devour powers and half asking to leave him be and one reader gave this solution. So it is what it is...)

Susan blushed a bit in shame and said "Thank You."

"It is a Gentleman's duty to help a Lady. And whatever we talked in here should stay between us."

Susan just nodded at that.

"Alright, now to reduce the hostility of the other members of Fantastic Four and SHIELD, I will help you guys again…."

---------------------------------------

Now Arthur used a well thought out excuse to devour Johnny's powers and not be held accountable for it too. Plus it helped him score some brownie points with Susan.

This chapter took a lot of time for me to write since I didn't copy it from the original but had to make my own conversations and scenarios. In the original the fantastic four just discuss with Shield and then leave without even meeting the MC.
