It was a busy time of year. A lot of scientists were meeting together for one symposium or another, and Sue's presence was requested at each. Reed was normally the person everyone was clamoring for, but Sue's work in genetics had gained some note over the past couple of years, and being a member of the Fantastic 4 helped boost that. Invitations she normally might not accept were excuses for her to be out of the Baxter Building. She wasn't avoiding Reed, so much as avoiding that he was often in his lab and not around. Their big blow-up still made things awkward, though she hated how distant she felt from him.
The taxi from the airport dropped her off about an hour before and Sue went about putting away her things and then putting other things to wash. She had just put in another load in the washer when she decided to see how Reed was doing in his lab. She'd left him notes on his computer to remind him to take care of himself. She knew how consuming work could be for him, and she hoped that she wouldn't find him a skeleton of a man.
Upon entering his lab, she found it empty. It honestly surprised her, but she went walking in a little further to see what progress he'd made in her absence. The screens before her and readouts on his desk, however, told her he'd shifted his focus from the sky and Mars, to something going on right here on earth. Sue picked up a geological map with a number of markings on it. She wasn't a geologist, but she could read his handwriting. Earthquakes in strange places...
How bizarre. There was a digital version of the map as well and she looked up, placing the papers down as she did, in order to observe the trends as they played out repeatedly.
