Invisible Woman has posed:
    It's early evening in the Plaza, and on the 71st floor, the smell of freshly baked cookies can be smelled, even in Reed's lab. Even while Reed is in the lab, he cannot ignore the call of the cookies! But where is the smell coming from?

Mister Fantastic has posed:
    Reed had been trying to rework and update the unstable molecules that make up their uniforms. His eyes had been planted on the microscope now for hours as he made notes and jotted down ideas. He didn't even realize when the smell of the cookies had started to get his attention, but he couldn't concentrate for some reason. He finally looks up and around him. He stands slowly as he almost follows the smell like some Bugs Bunny cartoon of being lead by his nose. Finally, he comes around the corner into the kitchen after the smell. "Ahhh, I have discovered the source," he says with a smile.

Invisible Woman has posed:
    And he has found the source all right, Sue had been doing a little bit of cooking for them all. Of course, a few of the cookies are missing. "hey Reed. You'd been in there for a while, so I started baking. Naturally, we have a cookie thief." She says with a laugh. "Want some?"

Mister Fantastic has posed:
    Reed stretches his hand from the door to snag one of the cookies that are cooling. "Of course," he says with a smile. "Never could resist the smell of your freshly cooked cookies." He stretches his head over the cooling rack and nods as the rest of him works to catch up. "So the cookie thief has returned. I tend to remeber this same crime happened the last time you were cooking, dear."

Invisible Woman has posed:
    "Yup. Except the last one happened to be Johnny." Sue then gestures for Reed to come out. "Come out of the lab, Reed. You need a rest." She says munching on another cookie. "Besides...someone's been wondering where you are."

Mister Fantastic has posed:
    Reed snags a second cookie as he begins to make his way to the coffee pot. "Oh?" he asks with a slight turn of his head. "Would that someone be the cookie thief? The current one anyway? Is it a call for attention?" He is chuckling slightly as he begins to push the buttons that will brew fresh coffee to go along with the cookies.

Invisible Woman has posed:
    Just as Reed comes out of the lab, he suddenly gains a bit of extra weight on his leg....and it happens to be Valeria. "hi daddy!" Says Valeria. "And there is the cookie monster." She says before waving to Valeria. "At least you ate dinner."

Mister Fantastic has posed:
    Reed glances downward as his leg begins to drag for some odd reason. He stetches his hand which last snagged a cookie and brings it down to Valeria. "Hello, child," he says with a smile as he offers the cookie. "Since you ate your vegetables today...."

Invisible Woman has posed:
    "I's okay Daddy. I already had four." Valeria says as she lets go of his leg. Sue chuckles a bit. "all righty, Valeria, now that you've stuffed your face, it's time for your bath." Sue says picking up, Valeria. "I'm just glad you made it out of the lab, hun." She says softly. "How about tonight have movie time, hmm?" She says as Valeria heads into the bathroom.

Mister Fantastic has posed:
    "Four?" Reed asks in mock surprise. "I think this cookie thief puts the last one to shame," he adds with a sage nod. The coffee machine is making the brewing noises as Reed reaches over for a mug. He looks back towards Sue. "I know I have spent too much time in the lab as you are always kind to remind me. Did you have a movie in mind?" He stretches his hand over to tap Valeria behind one ear as she heads out. "Be sure to wash beind your ears," he calls out.

Invisible Woman has posed:
    "Kay Daddy!" Valeria says as she trots out of the room. Sue laughs and looks to Reed. "Valeria helped with the cookies. At least she has enough sense to stop eating the cookies before they make her sick." She then takes a deep breath. "Not really. Whatever feels right, hun." She then ponders. "I also heard that Avengers Mansion has returned from wherever it came from. I'd like to go to the mansion and see what happened."

Mister Fantastic has posed:
    Reed leans back against the counter as he grabs another cookie to dip into the coffee before eating it. He nods slowly as he chews, swallowing before speaking. "It certainly would be an interesting story to hear. I wish I could say we had never heard about buildings going on adventures, but we know that isn't the first time we seen that sort of thing. Still, wouldn't hurt to give the Mansion a once over with a pair of outside eyes and make sure everything is still squared away."

Invisible Woman has posed:
    "And make sure it's not going to warp again, hmm?" Sue says softly as she goes to the door to see to Valeria. "You pick the movie and I'll make sure Valeria goes to bed, hmm?" She then smooches Reed's cheek.
