Though Reed was not particularly out by any means to get rich, he had over the years saved up a considerable amount of money he received through his many patents. It was enough for him to finance the Fantastic Four and his various other projects, with enough left over to donate quite generously to charities. Rare were the times that he actually spent any of his significant fortune on himself, but in this case, he made an exception. And even in this case, he did not make the purchase solely for his own good.
It was supposed to be a wedding present, but... after four failed attempts at getting married now, Reed could not keep the secret any longer. As he flew with Sue over the ocean and descended on the small private island and she looked at him questioningly, he had simply said, "It belongs to us."
Their own private getaway. Their escape from the world at large. A place where they could go and be themselves, without having to worry about playing super hero or some big research project. For Reed it was sort of like the old cliche of the desert island, and the one person he would want there with him. Together with Sue, he could think of no greater paradise on earth.
Laying back on a towel with Sue beneath a beach umbrella in blue swim trunks with his hands folded behind his head, he sighed contently. No noise of the city. No reporters. No power mad villains attempting to destroy or take over the world. Just him, Sue, and the ocean blue spread out before him. There could be nothing better.
Smiling to himself, he turned enough to look over at Sue.
