"This better be important, Stretch...I was nappin' and you know how I need my beauty sleep," Ben says walking in to the lab.
Reed replies, "You'll want to sit down for this, Ben."
"What's goin' on?"
"Go ahead, Val."
Val stands and says, "So, Uncle Ben. As you know, Dad created this special class for us and, just to see what we would come up with, he let us pick what we wanted our first group project to be. We talked about it for a while and came up with some pretty cool ideas..."
The reprogrammed Dragon Man interrupts, "I suggested a mass-to-energy converter."
Bored and still not sure why they wanted him there, Ben says, "Uh-huh."
One of the Atlantean kids says, "I thought artificially-generated perfectfood was a pretty solid suggestion."
Ben resists a shudder and replies, "That don't sound so good."
The Wizard clone adds, "And I think we should build a death ray."
"Shockin'."
Val clears her throat and continues as if she had not been interrupted. "But it was the Moloids who decided our first project should be you."
The Moloid children chorus together, "Hail, Grimm! Savior of the universe!"
"My people," Ben replies with a grin liking this idea. "So what do I get? Superboots? A robot assistant? You guys could whip me up one of those sub-zero personal coolers..."
Reed lays a hand on his friend's shoulder. "Ben..."
And now Ben's getting a little nervous. "What?"
Val offers a comforting smile and says, "We figured out how to cure you Uncle Ben...sort of."
Reed replies, "You'll want to sit down for this, Ben."
"What's goin' on?"
"Go ahead, Val."
