Reed Richards has posed:
Reed Richards smiles and sips Champagne looking our over the alien vista. The capitol planet of Hala, jewel of the Kree Empire. They have been about a week, taking meeings and being seen, today is the official signing ceremony, "Congratualtions Susan, you're the CEO if the first intergalactic corporation. Finding a market for the unstable molecules and some of construction droids really was a remarkable acheivement."

Susan Richards has posed:
     "The construction droids made perfect sense," Susan replied, twirling her champagne flute between her fingers. A light smile tugged at the corners of her mouth, a hint of laugh lines having left their mark upon her over the years. She lifts the glass to her lips, taking a small sip of the bubbly brew within, allowing herself a small sigh of satisfaction. "I couldn't have done it without you and my family behind me, though. You're all my everything."

Reed Richards has posed:
Reed Richards smiles and nods watching you, the diaphonous gown is all the rage on Hala, but you know it has kept your husband and a number of high rankiing Kree emissaries distracted. Reed smiles at you, his grin playful, "We are nothing if not together, my Love. I only hope Ben and Johnny are having as much fun as we are. It is a shame we have to get back to the ballroom for another event within the hour. Hala is gorgeous and starset."

Susan Richards has posed:
     "I know. I'd love to explore it a little bit more at some point. But, business calls." Letting out a slightly heavier than usual sigh, Susan smiles ruefully, taking in a little more champagne. "The call to duty does wonders for business, but it can wreak havoc on our personal lives. I accepted that as normal a long time ago, though, because you're all worth it."

Reed Richards has posed:
Reed Richards smiles, "It is an amazing place, and such a vast and varied people. But yes our responsibilities call us." He walks over and finishes the flute of champagne. Reed gives you peck on the cheek which lingers, his hands on your hips, the way your dress both reveals and obscures your form, Reed is taken and tittilated. He smiles, "Shall we?" And he offers your his arm.

Susan Richards has posed:
     In kind, Susan finishes her champagne, savoring every last drop. It was a gorgeous evening on another world, with the man she loved, both basking in the glow of love as well as business success. She smiles, turning her face towards Reed at the last moment to capture his kiss on her lips and not her cheek, the taste of champagne lingering between them. "Yes, let's," she replies as she breaks the kiss. Threading her arm through his, she stands, allowing herself a sigh of contentment.

     There were moments of perfection. Precious few, but could it really hurt to just savor this one a bit?

Reed Richards has posed:
Reed Richards frowns as the building is rocked by a wave of concussive force. The flash of light proceeded by the boom of an explosion. Followed imediately by the silence of awe and betrayal and then the soungs of sirens and the running and the screaming. The hole in the skyline as smoke starts to billow. Reed sighs as well, "It seems our dancing and negotiating skills won't be the one's most on display this evening."
