Come Inside My Parlor
Chapter Ten: To Make Ends Meet

He was going to fucking –

Tony let out a litany of curses, startling everyone around him. They had been in the midst of regrouping after having no luck finding Penny anywhere. Well, guess now he knew why.

"Problem, Tony?" Steve asked him, looking at him in concern.

"So I know where Spidergirl is," he scowled as he looked at the group.

"That's a good thing, right?" Osborn's kid, Harry he thought it was, smiled in relief.

"Fuck no," Tony cursed, surprising everyone.

"Why not? Penny Baby is found, right?" Deadpool giggled as he swung the tied-up Kraven a bit. Why was Tony not surprised that that lunatic knew Penny was Spidergirl?

"She's in the Latverian Embassy. That was Doom," he said bluntly.

Deadpool dropped Kraven, who fell in a heap on the ground in irritation. "Holy shit!"

"Well, we definitely can't leave her there!" Norman demanded, his panic showing through.

"We're not," Tony said in a short tone, feeling decidedly irritable at this turn of events.

"Tony, how do you know for sure it was Doom and where she is?" Steve remained thankfully calm.

Tony grimaced. "He called and Friday scanned his voice and pinged him as Victor von Doom. At the same time, she traced the line to where the Latverian Embassy is located at. He called to tell me he has Penny with him there."

"But why would he tell us that?" Clint asked in bewilderment.

"Trap maybe," Natasha murmured. "Or he wants something. Blackmail? A trade? Both of those?"

"They're at the Latverian Embassy, so since he hasn't done anything wrong –that we can prove of," Steve added evenly, before any of them could voice their objection to that, like he saw them trying to do. "We won't be able to just charge in there, or else we risk an international incident."

"Ugh, I hate that you're right," Tony glowered at the floor. "Alright, so all of us can't come or else we look like we're going to invade or some shit. He pretty much goaded me into going, so I'm going," he practically dared anyone to contradict him as his glower worsened.

"I've been there before and a two-man team should be enough. Penny and I once actually broke into the Latverian Embassy," Steve recalled, sounding amused.

"Alright, Tony and Steve are going to the Latverian Embassy to figure out the situation and get Penny back," Natasha said. "Bruce, Dr. Connors, Osborn, you three are up. Get started on that pregnancy formula."

"Almost done," Curt promised.

"We've calculated and even made the formula stronger, and are in the midst of getting it input into the computers," Bruce tacked on.

"The first batch should be done by the time she comes back," Norman agreed.

"That settles it then. Cap, suit up and let's get out of here and get our girl back safe and sound," Tony said, eager to just go and hopefully get back Penny.

A few minutes later, Steve and he were ready to leave the building and Tony set off in the air while Steve drove on his motorcycle. Together, they met up at the front of the embassy, to which he eyed it in aggravation.

"Let's keep calm and see if we can't talk Doom down from whatever he's planning," Steve said rationally, but Tony wasn't feeling rational.

Penny was inside there and who knows what Doom has been up to and could have done with her. If he'd hurt her or…

Shit, her state. A long time had passed and he didn't doubt that there was no way her spider heat hadn't acted up while she was locked up with Doom. The bastard probably knew about it. Did he…did he take advantage of her?

Angrily, he rang the doorbell (why the hell would Doom have one?). After a quick moment, he began to jab it again and again, feeling pissed off.

"Tony! Stop abusing the doorbell!"

Tony growled and took a step back. "That asshole probably has Penny locked up somewhere!" He held out his arm and charged up to let out a blast.

"Tony!"

Ignoring Steve, he fired and blasted a hole into the front of the embassy.

Penny couldn't help giggling as she walked out of the room and with Victor to the stairs. He looked supremely annoyed.

"Your friends are annoying," he grumbled to her, still irritated at having been interrupted. Then the doorbell began ringing over and over and his eye started to twitch. "Scratch that. Your friends are dead."

Penny couldn't help full out laughing this time, even though an uneasy part of her wondered if he actually meant that and would end up trying to kill them. Still…

"They can be annoying," she agreed.

His lips twitched, which pleased her and also mildly reassured her that he was calm enough not to actually attempt to murder whichever of her friends had come to get her.

However, he stopped suddenly and surprised her when he pushed her up against the wall. Before she could question him, his lips pressed against hers and his tongue prodded at her closed mouth, coaxing them open and slipping inside.

She let out a low moan, her hands grabbing at his shoulders and clutching onto them. His muscles bunched reflexively under her grip and he pushed up harder against her, causing them to align in too perfect a way. The thought that she was kissing someone for the first time, under her own influence, was a strange thought. She couldn't remember ever having just kissed someone on her own, or someone kissing her before her spider heat.

Penny was going to ignore that she was also rushing second and third bases while she was at it.

Unfortunately (fortunately?), Victor had just slipped one of his hands under her shirt, when they were ironically disturbed again. This time by a loud blast.

Victor reluctantly pulled away from her, glaring in the direction of the stairs.

"Would you mind terribly if I toss that aggravating man into another dimension? Preferably one where he won't be able to interrupt my attempts at ravishing you."

She felt torn between worry for Tony (she had a feeling that was him) and embarrassment at his casual mention of 'ravishing' her.

He sighed and stepped away from her, once again holding out his arm to continue to escort her to ground level. By the time they were on the floor leading off to the foyer's grandiose stairs, Penny had a clear view of the hole blown through the embassy's front, demolishing the entrance doors.

Tony and Steve stood there, having entered quickly and looking to be on guard of their surroundings. She felt Victor pull her closer to him, with him wrapping an arm around her and holding a hand to her neck. His hold on her neck was firm but not tight, while his other hand had taken her wrists and held them behind her back.

"Won't you play my hostage, darling?" he practically purred into her ear.

She swallowed and nodded slightly, a shiver running through her. To her consternation, she felt a warmth pool in her belly, and she was uneasy at finding that she'd gotten aroused without being in her spider heat.

Victor pushed her towards the stairs and started to walk down them, drawing Tony and Steve's attention.

"Doom," Tony hissed, glaring up at them with his faceplate off. "Let her go!"

"Now why would I do that?" Victor asked, adopting a bored tone. "She's kept me quite…busy all morning and all last night.

She could see Tony visibly bristling while Steve took on a deep frown, though she felt embarrassed herself.

Penny did realize something though. Victor got his kicks from messing with superheroes –he legitimately entertained himself with screwing around with them.

She was now unsure what percentage of the time did he really want to rule the world and come up with real plans to take over it…and what percentage of the time that he just made it look like he was, just so he could fuck with people's heads and amuse himself.

She almost laughed and ruin the charade, at the thought of Dr. Doom being the ultimate troll.

"You see," Victor began, and she could detect the slightest amount of smugness in his voice. "I succeeded in where you did not –calming my little spider and enticing her into my parlor, where she found herself very sated."

Okay, her face was probably full blown red right now, and she was about to turn in his hold and smack his head for being a smug bastard who was unknowingly embarrassing her. If her face got any more red…

"You got it wrong!" Tony shouted and she almost face faulted. What? "The spider in that story is the one luring in prey, not the one being lured!"

When she next came near Tony, she was going to smack him upside the head.

"You're an idiot," Victor said blandly, apparently agreeing with her ranting thoughts.

Steve stepped forward, grabbing Tony's shoulder and squeezing in probably reassurance. Or more likely warning. Penny would pick either one.

"Look, Doom. Just give us Spidergirl and we won't arrest you," Steve said authoritatively.

"Arrest me? I haven't done anything wrong," Victor said 'innocently.' "You two are the ones who broke into my embassy and destroyed my entrance. That's grounds for war with Latveria, you know."

Steve winced while Tony growled angrily.

Victor suddenly pushed her behind him. "If you want her, come get her!" he shouted with a smirk on his face.

Obviously, Tony took the challenge. His faceplate covered his face again and he flew up, holding out his arm and aiming at Victor. He charged up a blast and fired at Victor, who calmly stood in place and then held out his hand, his index and middle finger grouped together while his pinky and ring echoed the position.

A foot away from Victor, Tony's repulsor blast hit a shield that lit up and shone into existence at the moment of contact. Victor continued to stand there calmly, one hand in his pocket and the other still stretched and held in that strange position.

Penny couldn't help think that Victor looked incredibly hot, and that she really dug his hot professor look, especially at that moment where he looked so freaking cool, standing calm and casual after easily deflecting that blast.

'Nooo, Penny. Stop with the weird thoughts. Especially about Dr. Doom of all people,' she berated herself.

Despite all of that morning and last night, she was still having trouble processing that it was Dr. Doom of all people. Also, that he was apparently a very handsome bastard, who didn't think so because of a stupid scar.

Deciding it was best to cut this short, before Tony could gear up to try again and Steve to join in (or worse, Victor to retaliate), she swept forward and grabbed Victor's sleeve.

"Okay, okay. Cut it out now, Victor," she said, though she inwardly wondered if he'd even listen to her. It's not like she was important to him or anything, and he's never really listened to anyone before.

But, to her amazement, he relaxed his body and turned to her, eyes softening slightly.

"Alright, but I was having fun," Victor muttered, grinning slightly at her. He then lazily looked to Tony, who was coming towards them hesitantly, dropping to the floor with a loud thud. Steve had reached them in that time, face unreadable but watching her and Victor closely.

"She's ready to go," Victor said indifferently. "You may take her now."

He gently grabbed onto her hand and handed her over to Steve, looking disdainfully over to Tony. Steve said nothing, merely taking her carefully while Tony's faceplate had been removed and he was looking confused.

She wanted to look back at Victor, but Steve was already pulling her along and Tony was hurrying them out of there. However, right as they were just about to step one foot off of the embassy's land, she stopped and took a step away from them.

"Penny?" Tony asked, becoming more confused.

"I'll be back," she said stubbornly and Steve gave a small smile, nodding while giving her a knowing look.

She turned on her heel and rushed back towards the embassy, running through the destroyed entrance and hoping to see Victor still there. Luckily for her, he was still standing at the same spot, if looking up at the ceiling with thoughtful frown at the moment.

"Victor?"

His head quickly straightened and he looked at her in slight surprise, but she only smiled shyly at him as she came closer.

"Um, I'm sorry about your embassy," she gestured to the building's front.

"Don't worry about it. It'll be easily fixed," he told her, the corner of his lips lifting a bit.

"Thank you," she breathed out, standing in front of him and grabbing his hands. "I…I still have trouble thinking you of all people –because you're Doom –would ever help me, at least without a personal reason. But you did and I don't think you know just how much I appreciate that or how much I needed to hear the words you said to me. I've been having so much trouble, but you came along and changed things."

She took a step closer to him, right into his space, and then leaned up as she purposefully kissed him. She'd never kissed someone before, or at least did it first. Not outside of her spider heat at least, but she could hardly remember much of those times. But well, he helped her out of her self-deprecating state, so he deserved her first real kiss.

She pulled away, but he chased after her and kissed her again. Both kisses had been pretty chaste and not as passionate as the other kisses they'd shared before, but it felt more meaningful. When he moved away, lingering a bit, they looked at each other significantly.

"I'm going to miss you," she told him, though it still felt a bit weird saying that to Dr. Doom.

"You're welcome here anytime, ves'tacha," he said sincerely.

She squeezed his hands before letting go and turning away, walking out of there with a fond smile but eyes that oddly felt like crying.

When she reached the other two again, she gave them a weak smile.

"Okay, ready to go."

Tony kept glancing at Penny, feeling increasingly confused at her strange melancholic behavior. Shouldn't she be glad to be away from Doom? Hell, he didn't understand why she went back either. What could she have to say to him? Was she angry and wanted to yell at Doom? That must be it.

They entered the room where everyone was gathered, with Tony having called ahead to tell them they were on the way back with Penny. Once in there, Penny was pulled away from Steve and him, only to be pulled in a group hug with the others.

"Penny, I'm so sorry for not being careful and letting you leave," Curt apologized once she moved away from everyone.

"Don't worry about it, Curt. It really isn't your fault," she said reassuringly, before turning to Harry. "I…I really wished I could have told you about this, even though at the same time I didn't because I was too ashamed. I'm glad you're here," she smiled timidly at her best friend, who just hugged her again.

"Where's Deadpool and Kraven?" Tony asked, interrupting as he realized the two weren't there.

"Before you called, Deadpool apparently got…a call?" Clint said unsurely. "Said he had to go and that he'd drop off Kraven into a river, before demanding we make sure Penny calls him."

He looked to Penny with scrunched eyebrows.

"I have his number," Penny coughed, looking away from them. "I'll call him."

"How'd you get his number?" Harry couldn't help blurting out.

"Somehow he got my number and randomly sent a few strange texts one day. It took me a day before I figured out it was him."

They stopped asking questions about it, since thinking about Deadpool was a surefire way to earn a headache.

"Are you okay, malenkaya?" Natasha asked her, worry barely escaping her normally controlled tone.

"I'm fine," Penny reassured everyone. "Really, I am."

"Penny Lane, you just spent a night and this morning with Doom," Tony said with a scowl. "I highly doubt you're fine. Are you traumatized? Are you hurt anywhere? Oh fuck, I know you had your heat attack you –did he take advantage?"

"Too many questions," Penny grumbled, looking uncomfortable. At everyone's various levels of aggrieved looks towards her, she sighed and shifted awkwardly. "Look, I meant it when I said I was fine," she said stubbornly. "Victor didn't hurt me at all."

She was faced with looks of disbelief, but she held firm against them.

She swallowed harshly. "I'd just raped Kraven –"

"You didn't," Tony interjected. "He told us what happened and said he realized what was wrong and what was happening, and decided to go willingly into it."

"I don't care," Penny snapped at him, glaring heatedly. "I hunted him down and acted like he was prey, and then pounced on him and tied him up with my webs. That's rape to me."

Ugh, Tony really needed to just sit her down and have a long talk. And maybe track down Kraven and make him talk to Penny. It would be better for her to hear it from the horse's mouth after all…

Penny took a deep breath before she continued. "I let him down and then I basically ran away. I ended up home and cleaned up and changed, before I started wandering around. Around that time, I was feeling my heat start to come back, but somehow or other, I found myself running across the Latverian Embassy, which I hadn't known at the time."

"That's rotten luck," Clint winced. "Of all the places you could've run into, you ended up there."

"I was glad for it," Penny said honestly, shocking the group. "Victor took me in." Once again, Tony noted the use of that guy's name, and he was sure so had everyone else. "He opened his doors to me and helped me out."

And then she was recounting how she got there, that for some reason her spider heat seemed to go away as she neared that area and that it was because of Doom's magic, and then that she'd gone inside and had been allowed to shower and then dine with him.

"I can't picture it," Bruce admitted. "Dinner with Doom, and which he cooked?"

"I don't know, I'm kinda seeing Doom in his armor and whipping up something in a bowl," Clint said in amusement.

"Maybe something poisonous," Tony huffed.

Penny glared at Tony and Clint, before looking to Bruce. "But he did cook it and it tasted great. We had a nice dinner together. To be fair, I didn't even know he was Dr. Doom until…um, later on," her cheeks became suspiciously pink.

"Later?" Natasha's eyebrow raised, watching Penny in scrutiny.

"I just wanted to ask first, before we move on, whose clothes are those?" Harry interrupted, looking over Penny's clothes in confusion.

Tony frowned at that as well, feeling strange about the green and white ensemble.

Penny's cheeks definitely reddened. "They're Victor's. He altered his clothes for me."

"You're wearing Dr. Doom's clothes?!" Tony asked scandalized.

"Go on, Penny," Steve cut in. "Continue on from where you left off, before your clothes somehow became an issue." The blond gave Tony a warning glance.

"My heat came back that night, while I was in bed and trying to fall asleep," Penny said miserably. "It was unbearable and I couldn't help it. I looked for Victor and begged him to help me."

But then she gained a determined glint in her eyes as she looked steadfastly at the group.

"I know you think he's just an evil overlord or something, but he wasn't like that with me. He didn't force me to do anything; he didn't force himself on me. In fact, he did his best to make sure I was okay being with him, even finally revealing he was Doom and making sure I knew who I was sleeping with and who I was choosing to help me find relief. He helped me. He didn't hurt me," she reiterated strongly.

Tony couldn't believe what he was hearing. She must've been brainwashed. Doom must've done something to make her be so defensive and protective of him.

"Well, I for one am glad that, for whatever reason, Doom chose to help you and didn't hurt you," Steve said and Tony couldn't help but look at him incredulously. There was no way he would believe that! Tony sure as hell didn't, and he's surprised no one was speaking out in skepticism, even if he saw it on many of their faces.

"I'm just glad you're okay and back with us," Bruce told her warmly.

"You're feeling okay?" Natasha asked, which relieved Tony that someone else was going to push the issue further.

"I said I was," Penny insisted.

"I'm not talking about if Doom hurt you or your stay with him," Natasha said patiently and catching Tony off guard. "Your heat –is it bothering you now or starting to at all?"

Penny blushed, but shook her head. "Um, no. When I'm around Victor, it numbs out for at least two hours. We just left him, so I have at least an hour and a half?"

"What about having intercourse with him?" Bruce asked, scientist in control while Tony balked and most of the others became uncomfortable.

"Four hours of relief," Penny answered clinically, though her face was practically on fire. "So when I'm around him before or after it, I think I'm good for another two hours."

"So a total of six hours of lucidity," Curt came into the conversation, sounding curious. "How long was it since you last slept with him?"

"Um, pretty sure four hours ago," Penny answered uncomfortably. "Hence the less than two hour countdown I just gave myself now, having left his side."

"So we have less than two hours to finish our work," Norman suddenly spoke up.

Curt and Bruce nodded, while Penny looked confused.

"What do you guys mean?" she asked hesitantly.

"Norman cracked the formula for your personal birth control," Curt explained. "We've refined it together and have been making a few batches prepared for you to take."

"We can take you to the lab where we're working on it and have you take the pill, and we can take a blood sample to see how well it takes," Bruce suggested and Penny agreed.

Tony just felt frustrated and wanted to talk to Penny, but she was gone with them while everyone else split off.

"There, all done," Bruce announced when he went to cap the vial of her blood.

"You're really alright?" Harry whispered to her, nudging her arm.

She nodded, smiling softly at him. "I promise."

"It is unbelievable to hear that Dr. Doom himself took care of you," Curt mused aloud. "He's…not really what anyone would think of being selfless or caring. And the fact is, you were vulnerable and weak, and he had no such inclination to take advantage of that in any way. Even with your spider heat, he didn't think to take advantage of you in that manner. While he did sleep with you, it was for your benefit and he made sure to get as much of your expressed permission as he could."

"He's not a heartless person and he does have his own…weird code of honor," Penny suddenly said. It got her surprised looks from the four with her.

"How would you know that?" Norman asked, frowning in thought.

"We talked," she shyly admitted. "I asked questions about him and Latveria, and he asked me questions about myself."

Curt raised his eyebrows at that, while Bruce hmmed.

"What did he tell you about Latveria?" Harry asked in curiosity.

"Like there's an actual force field surrounding the country, which doubles as protection against nuclear attacks," she said bluntly.

The wide-eyed looks were amusing, and she thought that this was probably a miniscule taste of the reactions Victor liked to feed off of for his own entertainment.

"I'm surprised he said anything to you, much less anything truthful," Bruce glanced at her considerately. "You have most probably gained a very powerful and useful ally, Penny."

She hadn't really thought of it like that.

"You liked it there and with him," Harry said abruptly, watching her. Penny startled, having not expected that out of her best friend. "I think you should go back, especially if he can and has been able to help out with your heat the most. It stays away longer and more effectively around him, right?"

Penny was beyond shocked he'd suggested that, but she admitted it was tempting and that she really wouldn't mind that.

"You know…" Bruce started slowly. "I think he's right. You were well taken cared of there, and Doom seems to have no outward ulterior motives, other than that he genuinely wants to help you. Until we find a more permanent solution for your problem and one that will allow you to be free to interact normally with others again, perhaps it is best that you stay there where help is more readily and successfully given."

She felt hopeful, but still uncertain. She looked to Norman and Curt, the two who had been stuck with her and had tried their hardest to help her before she went AWOL on them.

Curt gave her a tentative smile. "I only want what's best for you, and for you to be okay. If you think this is best and what will benefit you for now, I think you should go for it."

Norman nodded, also giving her a strained smile. "You're okay for now, but I understand your heat will come back. Go back to him."

"I want to go back. I would really like to stay with Victor. I don't feel my heat act up as much and it only really acts up when I'm not near to him. He's different than one would expect him to act, and he's really thoughtful of at least me," Penny confessed, not having the courage to say so before, when Tony and Steve were picking her up.

"You should talk to Tony," Bruce smiled gently at her. "After some persuasion, I'm sure you can convince him to take you back. The rest of us will be fine with your decision."

"Really?" Penny asked in astonishment. "Er, why would Tony be any different though?"

"You could see on his face, when you were talking about your time with Doom, that he neither liked what he heard or believed you," Bruce said wryly. "He's convinced Doom did something and you were brainwashed or something. As far as he's concerned, he saved you from Doom and you're better off away from him."

"And he's jealous," Norman added, sneering.

"Jealous?" Penny was bewildered.

"He doesn't like that you sound like you like Dr. Doom so much, especially because of who he is," Harry guessed at his father's reasoning.

"That and Stark just plain likes you," Norman said frankly. "As do quite a few people," he said, giving her an unreadable look. "But Stark can't accept having you be with someone else as easily as he thought he could, much less that it's Doom. And he dislikes the fact Doom is somehow able to better help you than he had."

"Oh," was all Penny could say.

"Go see him," Bruce pushed her lightly towards the doors. "We'll pack this up for you."

She certainly had a lot to think on.

When she saw Tony, she could now easily see his irritated state as he worked on one of his Iron Man armors, pounding away at the metal with such an angry flair.

She licked her lips and hesitantly called out to him. "Tony?"

He stopped and looked up quickly, putting down his tools. "Hey, Penny. What's up?"

"Can we talk?"

He frowned, but stood up and walked towards her. "What's wrong?"

"I don't want to upset you," she said softly. "I just…"

"You want to go back," he surprised her, saying in resignation. "Steve talked to me. I wanted to be angry and refuse, but…I thought it over more as time passed, and…he really did help you for some reason, didn't he? This is the most lucid I've seen you since it all first started," he said regretfully.

Penny nodded, staying quiet.

"I still don't trust him," Tony told her. "You watch yourself when you're there, and don't trust him either. He's Doom after all. But…if being with him helps you be more aware of yourself and keeps the edge off longer, then I just want you to be in a better state."

Penny smiled brightly and threw herself at him, hugging him tightly. He sighed and returned her hug.

"Be safe and careful, okay?" he murmured against her head.

"I will."

So, waiting a little longer until it was nearing the end of the time she'd given herself and so she could spend a little more time with everyone, she set off with Tony to be dropped off at the embassy. To her amazement, it was whole and normal, as if it had never been destroyed and she wondered about that. Still, she looked at the embassy in trepidation.

Tony gently pushed her towards it.

"Go on now. We'll keep in contact," he said softly.

She gave him a wavering smile, before she turned back to the embassy and squared her shoulders.

Victor had long since fixed his embassy, finding himself bored again. He'd found he missed Penelope already and he tried not to think of her. It was abnormal for him to act like this, but he couldn't help it.

Penelope, in the short amount of time she'd spent with him, had managed to ensnare him in her web.

"The irony," he said dryly, idly flicking his hand and setting the contents of the mixing bowl into a pan.

The doorbell rang and he irritably looked in the direction of his entrance. "What now?" he muttered, reluctantly getting up to see who it was.

Perhaps it was someone he could scare off in full armor, amusing himself momentarily.

But then he opened the door and found himself staring at a nervous Penny. She smiled shyly at him.

"Hi," she said timidly. "I was wondering if I could stay a little longer with you."

'I'm the one with magic,' he thought. 'But somehow you've managed to cast your own spell on me.'

He opened his door wider. "I told you. You're always welcome here."

Victor let go of the door and opened his arms wide, to which she eagerly stepped into them and burrowed her head against his chest while they embraced. He kissed her forehead tenderly.

"My, my, Penelope –you've seem to have made this evil dictator into some sort of mushy idiot. You'll have to pay for that, you know?"

"That's fine," she mumbled against him, squeezing him tighter.

He shook his head at himself. He can't believe he let himself get all sentimental for this little spider.

Sentiment. What a strange notion.

Started 8/25/17 - Completed 8/30/17

A/n: Damn, this turned out to be long. And it didn't even have sex in it XD My bias is showing but I can't help it –I adore Doom and Norman. I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter! Please remember to review, as I tend to be motivated and willing to work on the stories that get more reviews and focus on!

Anon reviews:

1. M: Yes, thank you! And no worries, definitely more Victor in the future ;D

2. Guest: Back soon, because people really liked that last chapter and the introduction of Doom. I was surprised by that, because you know…Doom. I like him, but others…wasn't so sure they'd like that chapter or his inclusion. But I'm glad to see that's not the case and people actually did enjoy and love him and me bringing him in! I'd planned for that since the beginning. And that's how Victor ended giving Penny up ;p After messing around a bit, lol.
