Peter held his camera around his neck as he was intending a charity party. He was ordered by his boss to get some photos of some known rich individuals intending and sponsoring the event. It was not the first time he got invited to any fancy balls. He kept a watchful eye as a photographer and Spider-man.
Guest chatted amongst others and smooth jazz played through the night setting the mood of calmness. Tony Stark appeared doing work and enjoying the party. Being a known figure like himself he was no surprise to the guest, since he was one of the sponsors of the party. He met up with Peter shaking his hand.
"Nice for you to show up Peter, I guess Jameson has you on another assignment?" he inquired.
"Yeah, you know it. He wants me to get photos of the sponsors and basically the whole party itself.
"Where is Chun Li?" he inquired.
"She's coming, just in the running late at the moment. She told me to go on without her."
"Well…anyway, you should…" Tony paused as he caught glimpse at a lovely green haired woman. Peter's spider sense went off, he turned his back but it turned out to be the same women who helped him defeat Grim Reaper at the Fashion show. Questions had poured into his head on her arrival.
Instead, she wore a white dress shirt almost open cleavage, red dress pants and high heel boots. She gave off a flirty smile passing them by. Even the men at the party were stunned by her appearance. Jaws dropped and mouths watered over her. It was like looking at beautiful goddess.
The bartender asked nervously. "What…would it be for you ma'am?"
"I'll have a glass of your finest red wine." She answered.
Dazzled by her beauty, Tony approached her without a second thought. "I never seen you around here before, are you just visiting?"
She stroked her hair back with passion."Possibly, I'm new around the place, just wanting to have a good time."
Tony held his champagne glass. "You came to the right place; I'm all about good times. Tony Stark, perhaps you've heard of me?"
She sipped on her red wine. "You're not uncommon in this world Mr. Stark and beside what do you have in mind?"
"I said a nice candlelight dinner, you, me and the fire?" he offered.
Peter tried to stop Tony from approaching her, because he knew that she was not human after her session with Grim Reaper. Before he could stop him further Mr. Jameson had called out to Peter.
"Parker, what the hell you standing around for, get some photos? I'm not paying you to flirt with the ladies!" Mr. Jameson ordered. "There's is Doctor Reed Richards, go get some photos of him now!"
"The Fantastic Four is always happy to give to charity. You have our full support. I can assure you that I will use the…"
"UGH! Nerd alert, I'm going enjoy the party. It's best if you not listen to him further, otherwise he get more confusing along the way Frankie." Johnny warned.
"Johnny, just don't cause a scene." Susan warned.
"Hey, I've covered wars, so this is nothing new to me." Frank West said interviewing the Fantastic Four.
"Be sure to get my good side Frankie, you heard how much times the Fantastic Four saved the world."
Ben slapped Johnny on the back. "Everyone heard that already matchstick. Do you have to show off ever time?"
"It looks like Frank is doing your job again Parker; maybe the Bugle should consider replacing you." Mr. Jameson continued to lecture Peter.
While Frank West was continuing to interview the Fantastic Four, Peter had managed to get some pictures. He totally ignored Frank west trying to avoid competition with him, but at the same time he had a rival which made it kinda fun for him. When he was about to take his last picture Chun Li took him by the arm.
"Sorry Mr. Jameson, hope you don't mind if I borrow Peter for a bit?" She asked wearing a black shoulder less formal Chinese dress with long gloves.
"Sorry sir, the lady calls, you can understand right?" Peter said.
Mr. Jameson rolled his eyes. "Well just remember to get those photos in by deadline."
"I figure you can use a break from all this." She winked.
"I really appreciate the save back there." He whispered. He took Chun Li by the hand and started to slow dance to the jazz music.
Morrigan and Tony toasted their glasses. "I must say Mr. Stark your company is very refreshing. I am enjoying my stay quite well."
"And I can make it better. We can discuss this over dinner at my place. I have the best chiefs in town. That is if you're interested?" He replied.
Morrigan moved in for a kiss as Tony done the same. She was well prepared to take him away. But Tony did not know her fully. A call came to Tony therefore interrupting the moment between them. He was displeased with the interruption as he answered his phone. "This is Stark; better make it quick, I was in the middle of something."
"Aw, and just when I was really getting in the mode. Oh well duty calls." Morrigan said receiving a message from one of her bats. "I'm afraid we'll have to cut our moment short Mr. Stark."
"Yes we do, but perhaps another time." Tony said kissing her hand.
A plasma beam stuck the building causing it to shake. There appeared a few large robots. Each were oddly designed.
"Powerful life-sighs detected! The robot analyzed. "Exterminate target immediately!"
Shoots fired at the people as they quickly ran away. Peter became fully aware of the situation as he changed. Chun Li led the people to a safe place.
"Most destroy target at once!" the robot said.
Spider-man grabbed hold of the robot in his web. "Hey robot, don't you know that it's rude to crash a party uninvited? I mean where's is your invitation"
The robot fired multiple-beam cannons. "Target most be destroy! Interferences must be dealt with."
Before Spider-man struck the robot, he quickly morphed their metal to avoid the blow.
"Jarvis, scan the robot's armor." Iron Man ordered.
"Robot has unknown technology, armor not recognized in the system." Jarvis reported.
"You silly humans it is called a Huitzil. This robot worked for my arch enemy and true objective was to wipe beautiful beings like us out. They are centuries older then you, maybe me as well." Morrigan had told appearing in her true form.
"Multiple targets in site eliminate them!" the robots exclaimed.
The robots fired their beams at the three heroes. Morrigan, Iron man, and Spider-man fought one at a time.
The Fantastic Four helped Chun Li get the people to a safe place. Mr. Fantastic informed. "Everyone Stay calm, while the others handle the robots from outside. The Fantastic Four will handle from the robots inside."
"Yahoo! Finally some action, now this is my kind of party. Flame On!" Johnny shouted.
"It's clobbering time!" The Thing cracked his knuckles.
"These robots are unlike I've ever seen, quite fascinating technology." Mr. Fantastic admired fighting the robot.
"Reed, now is now the time to be impressed." Susan reminded.
"These robots don't look like they belong to Doom. There armor is ancient like beyond our time ancient. They can manipulate metal at their will." He explained.
Mr. Fantastic wrapped the robot in his body short circuiting their systems. Johnny blasted an assault of fireballs. Ben pounded the robots with his hard fist. Susan launched invisible daggers.
Before Mr. Fantastic could to continue to analyze the robot, they exploded. Luckily Susan was able to contain them within her bubble, but it did take a toll on her.
"Woohoo! Once again the Fantastic Four saves the day." Johnny cheered holding two fingers.
The robots had morphed into different kinds of weapons fighting the Fantastic Four, such as metal claws and buzz saws. Whether or not they were different the Fantastic Four continued to hold their guard against the robots assault.
In the meantime, Iron man fired powerful repulsor rays at the robots. Spider-man slammed them with a large web ball full of ruble. Morrigan generated a large blade from her arm and struck the robot inside out.
"Well I suppose that's that." Iron man said brushing off his hands.
Morrigan glanced at Iron with eyes of ecstasy. "Mmm, I like a man in armor."
"Well, well, look at the time; I should be heading back now." Iron flew away.
"How very cute, I love it when they run."
Iron man flew with insane high speed. Morrigan continued to follow his trail. He could not tell if she was a fan or enemy. But he knew he could not let her on about his secret identity. He fired his beams at her, but before impact she divided herself into a swarm of bats.
"Oh man magic, I hate magic." He exclaimed.
"I can do more than just magic my dear armored knight." Morrigan whispered softly. While caught in her dazzling glaze, she grabbed Iron man and slammed him to the ground.
"Did you take care of the threat?" Chun Li asked.
"Yep, for the most part, who would have thought we'd be attacked by robots that was decades older then us."
She asked. "Whatever, by the way where is Tony?"
"Um, he didn't return to the party for some reason. He said something came up. I just hope he knows what he's doing." Peter rubbed his head still concern for Tony in the hands of the green haired Succubus. He only hoped that she didn't already drain him away.
"Cheers to you my lovely lady." Tony toasted wine glasses with Morrigan at the highest balcony.
"You are a very surprising man Stark. So I think I'll keep you around for a while longer." She winked.
"There is more to me that meets the eye my dear as well as your natural beauty. If you're willing to stay for a while, I sure love the company." He complimented.
Little did they realize they have miss one Huitzil robot as it flew to a secret location. Thus Dr. Doom asked the robot for the progress report. He retrieved blueprints stolen from Mr. Fantastic lab and Stark Industries. For it would serve him greatly in his quest.
"Wesker, you are needed for an assignment." Dr. Doom requested.
"Well, this will be fun, looks like it's my turn to take the stage now. I can hardly wait to see dear old Chris's face."
