## Biography

### England & Wales (09/1985-08/1988)

Annabelle Teresa Parker was born 1985 in Canterbury to two American CIA operatives, who'd been forced to go on the run. Unfortunately, Mary died within the first hour of her daughter's life, leaving Richard to raise Annabelle alone under complicated conditions. The girl wasn't even two weeks old when he fled Canterbury and brought her to London, where he created new identities for both of them, using her mother's maiden name. That day would foreshadow Annabelle's whole childhood.

Father and daughter stayed in London for less than a year - from October 1985 to August 1986. Richard deemed it unsafe to remain in one place any longer. They moved to Bristol, where Annabelle became "Bella Mae Williams". The girl's first birthday was a time of great sorrow for her father, who only considered it the anniversary of his wife's death. Struck by the grief he buried alongside Mary, he accidentally told a neighbor that his wife had died the previous year, which was already more than he intended to say. After only a month, Richard took "Bella" and left Bristol again.

The first time young Annabelle crossed a border, they moved to Cardiff, where she would be known as "Aneirin Reese Pritchard". They lived there from late September 1986 to May 1987. Afterwards, they returned to England, moving north to Liverpool and not much later on Manchester, using different names and stories in every city. Annabelle, still less than three years old, only had a very limited understanding of her father's desire to keep on leaving places and people behind.

### Mason

In November 2005, she was in New York City for several weeks, and that's where she met Johnny Storm and spent the night with him. Shortly after returning to London, she found out that she was pregnant.

Mason Canterbury was born on August 20th 2006, when his mother was not quite 21 years old. His father remained unaware of the boy's existence until March 2008. As it turned out, Mason had inherited his father's pyrokinetic abilities. Concerned about her son's well-being, Cassie forced herself to ask Storm for help - something she found tremendously difficult due to the independence and trust issues instilled in her by her father.

Johnny took the news better than expected, shocked but also excited to find out he was a father. To allow him to get to know and help their child, Carissa decided to stay in the US for a while.

Simultaneously, Johnny's sister Sue recently found out that she was expecting a baby herself. Sue, who'd stepped back from active duty, offered her spot among the Fantastic Four to Cassie for the time being. She was the official fourth team member from May 2008 to June 2009.
