LIVING IN TWO WORLDS
5. The Lawn
The House was in a state of silence. Doom was angry, Skrull was angry, Ryu was angry...almost everyone was angry.
Wolverine and Hulk just sat in lawnchairs outside, chatting about news and the like. They had almost completely forgotten about what had just transpired. Felicia was coloring in her coloring book on the lawn, and Captain America was on the roof, seeing as though he could keep his balance easier than the Incredible Klutz.
Captain America had bandages on his face, and his eye was turning black. He had gotten lynched by the two troublemakers, and THEN he got pummeled by a furious Ryu. And the kicker? Captain America didn't even DO ANYTHING.
He groaned as he nailed boards in an attempt to fix the roof.
Ryu was silent as he sat on the porch. Skrull sat on the other side of the porch silent, and Doom stood on the lawn near Wolverine and Hulk. His arms were crossed and he didn't speak a word.
Wolverine glanced over at Doom and chuckled.
Wolverine: What's wrong Victor?
Wolverine held back a flood of laughter. The Hulk didn't make any things easier. The Hulk stood and made the same face Doom made when Ryu kicked his ass. Wolverine saw The Hulk's expression and he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Doom growled in his mind. He glared at the two jokers and began to walk down the road.
Wolverine: HEY, DOOM! WHERE YA GOIN'? RUNNIN' AWAY? YOU GOT YOUR ASS KICKED THAT HARD?
Hulk: NEXT THING YOU KNOW, A CAR IS GOING TO RUN YOU OVER.
Wolverine: YOU BETTER HOPE IT DOESN'T STORM! OR LIGHTNING IS GOING TO STRIKE YOU AGAIN.
Hulk: BUT THIS TIME YOU WON'T HAVE ANYONE TO FIX YOU!
The two jokers taunted Doom for what seemed like forever. Doom clenched his fists and in his mind, he was going insane. He wanted to kill them. So bad.
As he proceeded down the road, he shot the two his middle finger and stormed off. He had no idea where he was going. But he didn't care. He wanted to get away. From those two. And from Skrull.
Skrull stood up and looked around. He eyed Ryu and then glared at Logan and Bruce. He opened the door and walked in the house. His rage boiled inside of him. He was so angry at Doom. He felt no regret, no sympathy. He had never felt such before, and he wouldn't feel it now.
Ryu stood aswell. He glanced at the destruction of his lemonade stand. He walked toward it and picked up the debris. Felicia looked at him, concerned.
Wolverine patted Ryu on the shoulder and assured him that it would be alright. The Hulk smiled and sat back in his lawnchair.
MEANWHILE
Dante, Chris, Amaterasu, and Chun-Li walked back towards the house. They saw a faint figure in the distance and it looked familiar.
Dante squinted hard.
Dante: What is that?
Chris: Looks like...a cloaked..person?
Amaterasu: Looks like it. Doctor Doom maybe?
Chun-Li: By himself? No way. It's not Doom if Skrull isn't with him.
Chris: Well...that definitely looks like Doom...they might've had a falling out.
Dante: Psh, I doubt it.
As they crept closer to the figure, they realized that it was indeed Doctor Doom. Doctor Doom was powerwalking, and he showed no sign of stopping.
Dante: Hey, Doom! What's up man?
Doom didn't say a word. He kept walking.
Dante: Doom! What's wrong?
Doom stopped. He turned around and glanced at the demon slayer.
Doom: Skrull. Skrull is what's wrong. He's pissed me off for the last time. I'm tired of his bullshit.
Chris held back a chuckle.
Chris: What did he do?
Doom: Ask him. I don't feel like talking. I'll be back later. I just don't want to see his face.
Chun: Well...I hope you'll be alright.
Doom: Thank you. As do I.
Amaterasu: Where are you headed?
Doom: Somewhere.
Doom bade his farewell, and continued onward. Somewhere.
Dante and the crew looked at each other and shrugged. They continued to walk toward The House to find out what exactly had happened.
AT THE HOUSE
Wolverine and The Hulk were lounging in their chairs. In the background they heard someone fall and hit the ground hard. They knew it was Captain America and they laughed their asses off.
About two minutes later, a jogger passed by. He had a letter in his hands and he proceeded to run towards Wolverine. Wolverine glanced, and his claws extracted immdiately. The jogger reeled back in terror.
Jogger: NO PLEASE. DON'T HURT ME! ONO TOLD ME TO GIVE YOU THIS LETTER!
Wolverine: Ono?
Hulk: Oh no...
Jogger: Yeah! Yeah! Here! Take it!
The jogger dropped the letter and immediately sprinted off as fast as he could. Wolverine picked up the letter and read the contents.
"To: The Guests
Dear Guests, I have a special surprise for you all tomorrow. Be sure to wake up no later than 6:00 AM Meet me at the Metro City Square. We will serve breakfast in the dining room.

I look forward to our meeting. Oh, and by the way, there will be new guests arriving at...well..they will arrive soon after you get this message. Until then, ta-ta. ;)
-Yoshinori Ono
Wolverine grunted and the Hulk snorted.
Hulk: I wonder what's so important?
Wolverine: No idea. It's bad news in my opinion.
Hulk: I agree. 6 AM? That's ridiculous...
Wolverine: Yeah, but it's going to be even worse if we're late...
Felicia: Who are the new guests?
As soon as the words left Felicia's mouth, a long limo crept down the road. Wolverine stared at it.
Wolverine: I guess your question is about to be answered babe.
Hulk: Oh great.
The limo stopped in the driveway. As it did, steam hissed from the bottom like a school bus. One door opened, very casually and a figure stepped from the vehicle.
Wolverine's eyes went wide. The Hulk gasped and Felicia did a double-take. The figure that emerged from the vehicle was...
.com/watch?v=1bwEc56cA8Y
SPIDER-MAN.
Wolverine chuckled as the web-slinger did his trademark pose. He looked about and gasped as he saw Wolverine.
Spider-Man: Oh my god, it's Wolverine!
He ran over and immediately gave Wolverine some dap. He looked over at the Hulk.
Spider-Man: Bruce!
He punched The Hulk's chest and he laughed.
Hulk: Nice to have ya, Peter.
Wolverine: Yeah, I almost thought that you didn't make the cut.
Spider-Man: Please! If I didn't make the cut, it would have had to been an extremely dull knife.
Wolverine: I see your corny lines are still intact. That's fantastic.
Spider-Man: I see your 9-year old facial hair is still intact, Logan. Very charming.
Wolverine smiled slapped Spider-Man upside the head. Spider-Man laughed and looked on the roof and saw Captain America waving at him.
Captain America: Peter! How's it going?
Spider-Man: Good, good! Uhh...what are you doing?
Captain America: Fixing the roof!
Spider-Man was confused. He looked at the Hulk and then back at Wolverine.
Wolverine and the Hulk both replied,
"Iron Man."
Spider-Man burst out laughing. He grabbed his suitcase and began to walk towards The House.
He looked over his shoulder and saw Felicia and Ryu.
Spider-Man: Hey guys, what's up? I remember you two from Marvel vs. Capcom 2!
Felicia: Yeah! You're Spider-Man! You took really good pictures!
Spider-Man: Yup, that's me!
Spider-Man beamed with pride. Ryu smiled and waved at the web-slinger. He stood and opened the door for him. Spider-Man thanked him and carried his luggage inside.
The door was still open on the limo as the next newcomer stepped out. A very odd-looking man...he wore silver armor and had a pretty pimpin' beard. You could look in his eyes and you could tell he was very lost.
He looked around and stared at Wolverine and the Hulk. He walked toward them with his suitcases in hand.
Wolverine: Uhh...who are you?
?: My name..is Arthur.
.com/watch?v=8qxUmYlVASA&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL
Hulk: Well, Arthur. It's great to have you. Just set your stuff inside.
Arthur: I thank you! Muscular..green..monstrosity! I've been to hell many times, but I've never seen anything like you!
Wolverine looked at the Hulk's expression and roared with laughter.
Hulk: Uhm..thank you?
Arthur: Your very welcome, Mr. Green!
Hulk: Just call me Hulk. Or Bruce. Bruce Banner.
Arthur: Alright, Bruce. I thank you.
Hulk No problem.
Arthur began to walk toward The House. He introduced himself to Felicia, and he began conversation with Ryu. The two knew each other because Arthur was very close to being included in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom.
Two more guests emerged from the limo. One was a very built, rugged man. He had brown dreadlocks, and wore a green tanktop. His dog tag shone brightly in the sun. But, there was something severely different about this guy. His arm...was..a giant..THING. Almost as if it was living.
He was known as Nathan Spencer. Or, the Bionic Commando. He carried both of his suitcases with his bionic arm and he nodded at Wolverine. He waved at the Hulk and walked toward the house.
Wolverine: Now THAT looks like a guy I can get along with. Rugged, just like me.
Hulk: That arm is something else..truly different.
The other guest, was a slender woman. She wore all black and had black, sleek hair. She was very attractive. She looked around and stared at Wolverine.
Wolverine recognized her, but he couldn't put a finger on her name. The Hulk looked at her confused. She walked toward the two and extended her hand. Wolverine shook it, and so did the Hulk. She pulled her hand away from the Hulk quickly, as Hulk was on the verge of crushing it with his mighty strength. Even though he didn't want to.
?: My name is X-23.
Wolverine's eyes went wide. "X-23?" he thought to himself.
Hulk: Logan, is something wrong?
Wolverine: It's nothing.
X-23: So, you're Logan? And you are...?
Hulk: The Hulk. Or, Bruce Banner if you prefer.
X-23: Ah. You're a really big guy!
Hulk: I get that alot.
X-23: Well, I'm gonna go ahead and set my stuff inside. I'll talk to you guys in a bit.
She turned and walked toward the house. Ryu nodded at her and Felicia gave her a hug, despite not knowing who she was. Felicia thought she was pretty, and that was enough for her.
Soon after, the crew finally arrived on the scene. Dante stared at Captain America on the roof and didn't even bother asking. Chris nodded at Wolverine and the Hulk.
Chris: Sup guys?
Hulk: Not much. We've got some more guests.
Chris: Really? Where are they?
Wolverine pointed at the House with his claw. Chris looked over and smiled.
Chris: Do they seem cool?
Wolverine: For the most part, yeah.
Chun: Where's Skrull?
Wolverine: Crying his eyes out inside. His butt buddy left him.
Chun rolled her eyes and walked inside. Amaterasu ran to where Felicia was and the two rolled around on the lawn. Wolverine stared at them. His eye twitched and he began to sweat. He was getting horny.
Dante: Woah there, tiger. No need for that! Not now!
Wolverine: Shut up, pretty boy.
Dante shrugged.
Hulk: Well, everyone is not here...but...I guess it's time we read the note to everyone?
Wolverine: I guess.
Wolverine's penis was at its maximum. He began to grunt repeatedly and his head was shining with sweat.
Hulk: Uhhh...I guess I'll do the reading..
LATER
Everyone was outside introducing themselves and whatnot. Skrull sat on the porch with Chun-Li, chatting about the Doom situation.
Iron Man, Morrigan, and Trish had arrived not too long ago. But there was no sign of Deadpool, Viewtiful Joe, Thor, or Doctor Doom.
Nathan Spencer chatted with the Hulk and Wolverine. They both liked the guy already. Spencer was telling them a story about how he rescued 20 naked chicks from a burning building, and he had their interest in the palm of his hand.
Dante, Ryu, and Chris formed a circle of three as they began to talk about music. Dante kept glancing at X-23, who was talking to Felicia and Amaterasu. He couldn't keep his eyes off of her. He wanted to say something, but he decided to wait until the time was right.
Morrigan walked up to Arthur and began to make conversation with him.
Morrigan: So, you've been to hell a couple of times?
Arthur: A bunch of times, actually. Why? Have you?
Morrigan: I basically live there.
Arthur: Splendid! There's actually someone here I can relate to!
Morrigan: Mmm..we can do more than relate..
She put her hands on his armor and began to moan.
Morrigan: Why don't you take all of this clunky armor off? So I can get to know...the real you.
She stared deep into his eyes. Arthur stared back as a wide grin appeared on his face. He howled with laughter as he took Morrigan's hands off of his armor.
Arthur: You amuse me. But you will not tempt me seductress. Nice try.
Morrigan pouted.
Morrigan: You're no fun.
Arthur: Maybe some other time. I've had my fair share of women like you in Hell. There's only one woman that's right for me.
Morrigan: That's respectable. But, you gotta know when to have some fun.
Arthur: I do have fun. Just not in the way you do.
Morrigan: Hmph.
Arthur: Don't be upset. We can still be friends. After all, Hell is a bitch, am I right?
Morrigan: *giggle* Indeed it is, Sir Arthur.
Spider-Man walked over to where Dante, Chris, and Ryu were. He eavesdropped on their conversation and just listened to what they were saying.
Chris: Umm...can we help you?
Spider-Man was startled.
Spider-Man: Oh! No. I was just listening that's all. You know, I like Nirvana too.
Dante: All right! Awesome! I knew there were other fans out there! In your face Chris!
Chris: Hey! Nirvana is alright, but I prefer bands like Soundgarden. Linkin Park...some Alice in Chains.
Spider-Man: Who DOESN'T like Alice in Chains?
Dante's grin widened.
Dante: I like this guy already!
Ryu: I've never heard of any of these bands...I don't listen to rock. I listen to techno. And a little bit of hip hop.
Chris: Modern hip-hop is kinda sucky. There are only a select few that are good today.
Dante: T.I., Young Jeezy, Jay-Z, Drake, Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco...to name a few.
Ryu: Yes. Honestly, who in their right mind would listen to such like...Waka Flocka Flame? I mean honestly..the name is a turn-off.
Spider-Man: Indeed. Now, I like some Daft Punk myself.
Ryu: YES!
The four kept talking about music. Iron Man joined in soon after, and the five kept sharing their musical preferences. Dante however, was distracted. He kept looking over at the gothic beauty. She didn't even really notice him. She glanced at him however, and Dante turned his head away immediately. she knew he was looking at her. And her face began to burn.
Felicia: What's wrong, X?
X-23: It's...uhh...it's nothing.
Amaterasu stared at X-23 confused. The spiritual wolf howled with laughter.
As the guests chatted with each other, The Hulk grabbed the note. He had something to tell everyone.
Unknown Building
In an unknown building, three figures sat in the darkness. The glow coming from the lab on the other side of the room provided any light. The figures sat there, in silence.
One man had incredibly slicked-back hair. He wore a long trench coat and was clean shaven. He wore shades and his all-black attire made it that much harder to see him in the darkness.
Another man wore mostly red/maroon, with a bit of purple. He wore a helmet on his head, and was a slightly old man. Looking like someone in their 40's. His suit was very tight however, and you could tell it was annoying because of how he kept pulling the fabric around his legs. Must've been pretty awkward.
The last figure was...well...it was hard to tell. He had a chair...and it levitated. But, his body was...well..he didn't really have a body. He was just a giant...head. On a chair. His wide grin could almost illuminate the room, but it was much, much, much too dark for that.
The man in black finally stood. He walked over to the lab and cackled menacingly. He pushed up his shades and his malicious grin could scare off the bravest of men. His name was Albert Wesker.
He was testing the effects of adrenaline in plants. To see, what type of reaction they would have. He was fascinated. Much to his calculations, the plants did indeed grow slightly faster. Due to proper lighting and watering.
Wesker: This is marvelous. Absolutely marvelous.
The man in red slammed his fist on the table. He was obviously aggravated by something, and Wesker didn't help at all. His name was Magneto.
Magneto: This...is so...childish! Why are we testing on PLANTS! Of all things, honestly Albert! We should be doing something...EVIL!
Wesker: You shut up. This is marvelous.
Magento: BAH. I give up trying to reason with you. What about you Modok?
The giant head spun around in his chair. He was oblivious as to what exactly was going on.
Modok: Hey, Magneto, wanna see how many times I can spin around in this chair before I get dizzy?
Magneto slapped himself and screamed in agony.
Magneto: I WORK WITH TWO FUCKING IMBECILES!
Modok: Quit your whining.
Wesker: Indeed. Go sit in the corner, Magneto. The only one miserable here is you. If you want to be productive, go be productive. I have no time for your incoherent babbling.
Magneto: ... *sigh*
JUST THEN
A knock on the door was heard. Modok's eyes went wide and he looked at Wesker. Wesker turned around and eyed the door. He casually walked toward the door.
Wesker: Who is it?
It was Doctor Doom at the door.
Doom: Victor Von Doom.
Wesker: Sorry, I don't know any Dooms. Goodbye.
Doom: Please, I need your assistance.
Wesker: Speak your business.
Doom: Evil. I want evil.
Wesker: Hmmm...
Doom: Please.
Wesker: Do you like to watch plants grow by injecting them with adrenaline?
Magneto was shaking his head at the table. He was silently saying, "Say no, SAY NO!" to himself.
Doom: Yes.
Magneto facepalmed.
Wesker: Good. What's your favorite color?
Doom: Green.
Wesker: Favorite movie?
Doom: Toy Story.
Wesker: 1, 2, or 3?
Doom: All of them. 2 was slightly worse than the rest.
Wesker: Very good.
Wesker grinned. He opened the door and welcomed the Doctor.
Wesker: Welcome aboard. We are called Magnetic Umbrella. Our 4th member, Doctor Doom has joined! HUZZAH!
Modok: HUZZAH!
Magneto gave a very unenthusiastic, "Huzzah..."
Doom: Wait...there are only four of us?
Wesker: Not exactly. We have our..."colleagues". But they are of a much higher...caliber, shall we say. Dormammu, Mephisto, Black Heart, Thanos, Carnage, Seth, Gill, Sigma, Astaroth, Jedah...the list goes on and on.
Doom: Oh...
Wesker: Yeah. So, as a new member, you have to complete the initiation.
Doom: Initiation?
Wesker: Yes. I have a screwdriver in my hand. I will shove it up your ass. You must not scream for 10 seconds.
Doom's eyes bulged. He eyed the screwdriver and he screamed in his mind. He had already failed the initiation. He shook his head, took the pressure out of his mind, and nodded. Wesker made a hand-motion signaling Doom to turn around. Doom obliged.
Magneto covered his eyes while Modok watched with interest. Wesker had a demonic smirk on his face. As the metal hit the ground, Wesker knew it was time. Doom closed his eyes. He felt the dull head creep slowly up his butthole. It was slow at first, but Wesker kicked it up to about 10x intensity.
Doom's eyes popped open. He had never felt so violated in his life. He was flipping out in his mind, but he couldn't show it. He had to endure it.
If this was just the initiation, what else were these weirdos doing? Is Doom wasting his time? Find out next time.
