Iron man flew through the night sky scanning the ground below. He was looking for something, his destination. He was far away from his home and even the continent he lived on. Then suddenly he found it. He landed down kneeling with one fist in the ground. He looked up to see it. Castle Doomstadt , Latervia, he had made it. He walked up pushed the doors open and walked through the castle looking for the throne room. He had found it and when he did he saw someone sitting on the throne with a large capsule next to him which Morrigan was imprisoned in. The rhythm of clapping hands was heard.

"Welcome Mr. Stark" the man in the throne said getting up. "Iron man, hero, avenger. Take your pick there are many to choose from".

"Doom" Iron man responded looking up at him on his throne.

"Is that all you have to say? You travel all the way here merely to utter my name in front of me?" Doom scoffed clearly expecting something else to happen.

"No I think you do that enough for anybody. The real reason I came was to know what you want with her" he said pointing to the capsule.

"Ah that answer is simple. She is the demon princess of another world. If I were to overthrow her I would be able to use the demons of her underworld as my minions. Then by combining them with my own resources I will take over both this world, her world and all that lie in-between" he spoke of his grand desire.

"Well then it seems like there's no talking you out of it which is why I also came to give you this". Then Iron man blasted at Doom with a repulsor blast sending him back through a wall. He then went over to Morrigan until he felt a hand on his shoulder. Then he was flung back across the castle and impaled into a wall.

"Doombots can be so mass produced these days" he said inquiring the other was a fake". Iron man pulled himself out of the wall and charged Doom. Both came at each other with great speed using the jets on their armor and then they clashed. They threw punches and kicks at each other. Doom punched Iron man across the face who responded with his own punch back. Doom then put his hands together and blasted him back. Iron man looked around and saw someone moving subtly around them in the rafters in the castle. Then he used his jets to get momentum and tackled Doom through the ceiling and out of the castle. Spencer on the other hand was again doing his part and with Doom out of the way temporarily it should be easier. He saw the capsule and grappled down to it from the ceiling. He landed before it and looked inside. He could see Morrigan but she looked unconscious.

"Alright enough beauty sleep here's your rough awakening" he proclaimed before striking the capsule. A crack formed in it and some water was leaking out. He struck it again and again until it finally bursted open with Morgian's body limply falling out among the water and glass. Spencer shook her "Hey princess you awake?". She looked up to him although it looked like she had trouble seeing

"Tony?" she muttered.

"Eh not exactly"

"Oh god no"

"Yeah just me listen we gotta get out of her can you fly?" she shook her head. "Walk" that time she seemed too dazed to answer. "Damn it, alright well I may not be the best person to handle you when you're all wet and dazed but screw it come on" he said picking her up and walking off. "If this is some elaborate scheme just so you don't have to do anything I will drop you right now" he said before running off. "Hold on" he said as he grappled away with holding her with one arm and she held him back. Meanwhile Doom and Iron man fought in the air above the castle. It was long range until they charged each other again only this time grabbing each other's hands as they did so.

"Just like Camelot right except it's just you and me" Iron man said. Doom then looked down through the whole in his castle to see Spencer getting away with Morrigan.

"It would appear not". Doom then shook Iron man off and blasted him down to the grounds outside the castle. Then he bolted down to the floors of the throne room. Spencer was on the ground about to grapple away when Doom landed before him and he looked enraged.

"oh crap" Spencer muttered.

"Is Captain America here?" Morrigan asked in a daze. Doom took a step forward.

"Hand her over and I will be merciful enough to let you live"

"Afraid I can't do that" Spencer said taking a step back.

"Then it will be your undoing". Doom then blasted Spencer back hitting him dead on in the chest. He flew back dropping Morrigan in the process.

"Damn it "he groaned. Then he slowly got up and saw Doom approaching charging up another laser. He shot it and Spencer managed to dodge it, then another came and him jumped down to the floor. He got up shot his arm out to try and catch Doom. But as it came at him he moved right of it but grabbed the chain and pulled on it bringing Spencer to him. As he drew near Doom prepared his assault and when he was in front of him Doom uppercut Spencer into the air. Then he followed him up. He was right above him when he pointed his fingers at him shooting lasers from his fingertips down upon the bionic commando. Then Spencer fell to the ground and Doom came down on his back with his feet.

"Foot dive" Doom said slowly. Then he raised his foot over Spencer's head ready to come down on him. He was about to until a blue blast hit the ground next to him. He looked up to see Iron man coming at him from the whole in the ceiling. Doom pulled out his gun and started firing up at Iron man who dodged each one. Then he flew down and tackled Doom away from Spencer. They both tumbled through the castle until they got up. Iron man got up and shot a unibeam at Doom which he barley dodged and fired his own laser back. Iron man ducked to dodge it. Then he got up and Doom prepared to fire again but then a bionic arm hit him hard in the face sending him into a wall.

"Cavalry's here" Spencer said. They both then prepared to take Doom on. Doom emerged from the wall enraged at the sudden strike to see Iron man and Spencer ready for him. He let out an enraged scream and attacked them. He jumped up in the air and came down on Spencer's head with his fist. Then he picked him up and flung him at Iron man. The 2 collided and fell to the ground. As they lay there dazed Doom walked over charging up the laser in his hands. They both moved at the last second as Doom obliterated the floor. Iron man got up and punched Doom in the air. Spencer then grappled onto him and kicked with both feet sending him left. Iron man then flew left to where he was going to be and when he was close enough cracked him in the head sending him plummeting down hard on the floor below cracking it. Doom stumbled to get up but retained himself just in time to see them charging him. Spencer threw a punch but Doom ducked and punched him back. Then Iron man came with a kick but Doom dodged and blasted him. Spencer jumped up and came down on him with a bionic fist. After being hit Doom picked Spencer up and threw him away. Then Iron man came up to Doom. They both threw punched hitting each other in the face. But Iron man rebounded quicker and hit Doom with a unibeam sending tumbling back through his throne room chair and across the room. Doom got up to see them both coming at him.

"Molecular shields" he cried out when they were close enough. They both hit the shields and were repelled back. They both skidded back on their knees and then stood up to stare down Doom. Doom scoffed at them "Gods have fallen before Doom's might! There is little chance that you two will stand any better"

"Not two" a female voice said. Doom turned unprepared to see Morrigan coming at him and kicking him in the face. Doom stumbled back and glared at her.

"I was going to dispose of you later" he charging up the laser in his hand "But why prolong the inevitable". He then grabbed Morrigan by the throat with his left hand and placed his right by the stomach. Then he unleashed his golden laser.

"No!" Iron man screamed. But it was too late as Doom had finished his attack. He then threw her body away.

"Anyone else?" he questioned turning to them. Iron man stood stiff but Spencer to charge him. A small array of controls teleported next to Doom and he clicked a button on the keyboard. Spencer was then trapped inside a large capsule. Doom pressed another button and soon Spencer was being electrocuted. When it was over the capsule disappeared and Spencer lay on the ground. Now Iron man kicked back into reality and charged Doom. He tackled him up through the ceiling again and into the air. But as they went higher above the castle Doom shook himself free of Iron man's grip and blasted him down onto the roof of the castle. Iron man stumbled to get up as Doom landed next to him

"It's funny thing Mr. Stark" he said as Iron man began to crawl. "Doom was wondering how the sentinel could be beaten" he said reminiscing of the idea he presented. "Doom figured that the mutant hunter could easily deal with a demon. But then it was destroyed and Doom couldn't fathom why. Then I understood. She had help and once the Sentinel's transmission was received it was clear who that help was. She seemed to be making herself quite at home with you didn't she" he let out a laugh. "But what do you owe her? Are you trying to live up to that heroic reputation that you seem full of at times yet ignorant of at other's. Or perhaps you are doing this because as I have come to speculate for a more deeply rooted personal reason". Iron man was standing up now. "You and I have seen many things in our lives, old ancient times the future, aliens, gods and even the far reached of the galaxy but here you are insisting on fighting me on a reason as meaningless in comparison the galaxy as love". Doom let out a loud laugh and turned down to see Iron man coming at him. It was too fast for him to react and soon he was in his clutches. Iron man took to the skies with great speed and then to the ground around the castle dragging Doom as he went. Then he flung the dictator in the air and released a powerful unibeam hitting him as he fell. But it wasn't over there as Doom fell down before him Iron man had one more attack. When Doom was right in front of him Iron man pulled out his proton cannon and blasted him away. Iron man looked around in the aftermath at Doom. His body was just lying in the dirt outside his castle not moving. Dead no, unconscious yes. Iron man ran inside the castle to assess the damage. He found Spencer stumbling to get up and went over to him.

"Hey are you alright?" he asked

"Yeah sure I've had worse than this, can't think of any right now but.." he grunted. Iron man then went over to Morrigan. He knelt down next to her and checked her vital signs.

"She's alive!" Iron man exclaimed "But she's hurt real bad I've got to get her to a hospital" he said picking her up. He turned away and was about to fly off when he turned to Spencer. "Sorry I only have room for one. I'll send Rhodey to find you so don't wander off. I owe you for that Spencer even you were sent to steal from me"

"Ah we'll call it even now go on get outta here!" he said waving him off. Iron man nodded and took off into the night holding Morrigan across his 2 arms. Her wounds were bad; she was already pretty hurt before Doctor Doom hit her. It was a brave thing she did trying to take him on; he just hoped she didn't pay because of it. He was flying across the sea now trying to get her back to America to home so she can get help. He was putting his armor in overtime going as fast as he could, he just hoped he wouldn't run out of time.

Finally he made it back and rushed into the hospital demanding help. From there the doctors took her and he collapsed exhausted on the floor his armor falling off him as he did. The doctors later informed him that she was banged up but would recover. He was relieved that he had made it in time.

He would visit her every day while she was there commenting how the hospital was becoming her "second home". All the while she would make reveling poses in the gown she was in. Spencer made it back with the help from Rhodes and showed up once or twice in the hospital as did a variety of other people to express condolences. So Tony Stark and Morrigan Aesland continued about their days with what they usually did only with a change in scenery from his home to a hospital. They bantered back and forth most of the time and since Morrigan had a room all to herself at night Tony would sneak in for her pleasure even if it was recommended to do by the doctor. But since it wasn't forbidden they used that as their excuse. So they went on like that for some time and they enjoyed it too. But as they found out all too soon nothing can last forever.
