For years, the Fantastic Four had been protecting the city, battling super villains, even stopping interdimensional catastrophes. But it also meant that they were no longer as young as they used to be. For Ben "The Thing" Grimm, that wasn't a problem with his stony features. Reed Richards and his sister, Susan Storm, both aged gracefully, though Johnny figured that either Reed's elastic abilities or some scientific invention that Johnny hadn't been told about or just hadn't been paying attention to it could have explained that. Johnny though looked at himself in the mirror. Flexing his arms and abs, he grinned at how "graceful aging" seemed to run in the family. Though he knew enough physics to also know that his extremely high body temperature could easily have played a part in that. He shrugged off the idea. It was better to take as much credit as he could after all.
As the last of the steam from his shower faded from his body, his stomach growled. Nodding at his reflection, he turned and headed out to the kitchen to get breakfast. As much as he told himself that he should cut back, his flames may potentially burn more calories but there was no guarantee of that and he was no exception to the laws of aging if that was the case, he still made his usual 5 egg omelet with ham, cheese, bacon bits, and assorted diced veggies. It had gradually grown over the years and was getting to the point where even that massive omelet wasn't completely satisfying his hunger anymore.
Finishing his omelet, he sighed, feeling full, but not satisfied so he rummaged through the fridge, munching on anything he could find. After several minutes, he was finally satisfied. Patting his stomach contentedly, he headed out to patrol for the day. They hadn't fought any major battles in years, but both he and Reed were insistent that they not become lax in their vigilance.
Everyone cheers and waves as they see the superhero fly over them. Johnny smiles to himself, soaking in the admiration but it isn't long before his stomach growls again, sending him back to the Fantastic 4 tower's kitchen.
