Thing didn't know what had gotten into this mob but it looked like they couldn't be reasoned with. "Let's get outta Dodge!", says Thing to Lockjaw as he lumbers away from the crowd to try to get some breathing room.

The mob presses the attack. Until the crack of a gunshot rivets the mob! BLAM"It's the sheriff!" a man shouts before turning tail. "Alright you folks! Break it up!" From the locals' reaction and his uniform, this new man on the scene must be the law around here. Thing's Health: 6/6

The sheriff acquiesces, but Lockjaw remains outside the family's crude cabin. Inside, the darkness of ancient timber walls is little shield against the heat. The air is heavy with dust and thick with many of yesterday's cooking smells. "Mommy?" a young voice cries out. Thing's Health: 6/6

"Dis your boy?", asks Thing. He's not surprised by the boy's appearance. The villagers, like most people judged by external looks. People could be cruel like that. "I'm Ben Grimm. I'm here to help if I can."

"Don't rightly see how nobody can be of no help."If what the Thing and Lockjaw dropped inta when they arrived is standard fare 'round these parts, Ben'd almost be inclined to agree. Thing's Health: 6/6

"Mister Grimm, Sarah says. "I've lived in this shack all my life, just like my daddy did, an' his daddy before. An we allus dreamed someday there might be a miracle come 'round here. Somethin' to tell us there wuz some hope in the world. When my boy was borned I figgered there wuz no such thing as a miracle.""But... you could help.. you're a hero. The people, they all look up t'you. Respect you. They don't care none what you look like. Maybe, if anyone can make them all realize my boy ain't bad... Maybe you..."Maybe, but them folks didn't seem too thrilled when Lockjaw and Thing arrived. As for the boy... Ben ain't never met nobody like him before. He's somethin' special. Thing's Health: 6/6

"Yep. Things have been pretty rough 'round here," says the sheriff. "Reckon we musta got hit harder by the recession than almost anywhere else in the state. Trouble is, it all started around the same time Sarah birthed young Lucas."
"That was a black day if ever there was one, Ben. Poor Sarah had herself a monster, and her husband lit out on her. We haven't seen hide nor hair of him in twelve years. And when things started to fall apart around here, even though it was happenin' one way or another all over the country, folks looked for a scapegoat. Havin' a genuine monster livin' two miles down the road was tailor-made."
