Experiments At The Home

Mafia's Son

Chapter 2: Doom's Evil Schemes

Hello, this is my third fanfiction and my second Avengers fanfiction. I have not been a writer for long and am in dire need of inspiration. I would still like your normal commentary telling me were my faults are but I need people to egg me on to create more chapters and type longer like with 'A New Sister'. So please if you read my chapters comment and tell me how they were. This fanfiction was just thought up one day while being bored yet it sprouted into something I actually have the courage to post so please have the courage to tell me what you think.

P.S. I do not own any of the Marvel character or 'Nightmare Before Christmas'.

WARNING LABLE

This fanfiction may include violence sexual hinting and or inappropriate language for underage readers.

Kiyo could feel warm tears falling from his white eyes. He sniffed. 'Why should I care what they think about me they are the enemy, but still… I can't help it. They looked at me with such horrid eyes. They know nothing of what I have been through. They have no right to judge me. I am more powerful anyway I could wipe them off of the Earth.' Kiyo shivered. He was currently in his favorite hideaway, Mount. Everest. His tears fell onto his snow covered knees.

"Damn!" Kiyo punch the side of the mountain sending snow to fall away a couple of feet.

"I couldn't help but notice, that you are quiet sad today." A figure approached Kiyo.

"Go away I don't need your sympathy." Kiyo spat, not realizing who he was talking to before it was almost too late.

"Insolent child, I will have to teach you manners now wont I?" Doom was inches way and Kiyo was now in a giant bird cage. "Take him to the laree, and teach him some lessons about manners before our guests arrive." Doom turned and walked back to his jet as Kiyo was carried away. The last thing he saw was Mt. Everest's snow peak before everything went black.

Fury told The Avengers what he knew about Kiyo and by the time he finished and looked at the clock he figured it would be about time to talk to Kiyoshi about this. He stood up and walked over to one of Tony's Computers and began typing away.

"And what do you think you are doing?" Tony asked suspiciously.

"Checking up on Kiyo."

"You know where he is yet you can't catch him?" Tony asked incredulously. Fury didn't look up.

"No, it is just that his usual spots aren't exactly easily accessible."

"Uh huh, so where are his 'usual' spots, per say?"

"Mt. Everest is the usual hide away spot. But he goes to the Grand Canyon every once and a while…" Fury trailed off as he stared intently at the screen his face was a sheet of worry.

"What's wrong?" The Avengers all had looks of worry on their faces. Suddenly Fury's face turned into one of rage.

"That bastard took him!" Fury banged his fist into the metal table top. The Avengers jumped. Tony hesitantly walked over and looked over Fury's shoulder the first thing he noticed was the Doom bot that was stationed there the second was the blood on the snow covered rock.

"Avengers, assemble. We are taking a little trip to Doom's house." The others quickly rushed to suit up at the hint of urgency in Tony's voice.

:) Skip

The Avengers were now in front of Dooms door.

"So, anyone have any ideas to get in?" Bruce asked.

"We knock on the door of course." Tony's Iron man voice said flippantly.

"You can't be serious Tony. We have been hunting Doom down for years and you expect us to just knock on the door?" Steve asked incredulously.

"Yep." Tony blasted the door down with his repulser ray. "See, I just did." Steve rolled his eyes and walked in after the Iron man.

"Is it just me or is it too quiet in here?" Natasha asked warily.

"You would be correct in your accusation Ms. Widow." Dooms voice echoed through the hall to their right.

"Doom where the hell is Kiyoshi?" Fury yelled loudly as he stormed down the hall.

"Tut tut tut, don't be so impatient, you will see him in due time." Doom's voice was taunting. Fury burst into Doom's lab and stopped dead in his tracks. The Avengers which were hot on his tail also stopped at the sight they saw.

Kiyo was hanging on chains cuffed to his wrists. Blood was flowing down his lithe figure and his hair was stained and dripping. Kiyo's shirt was torn to shreds and on the floor below him in the large bird cage. His toes barely brushed the ground and his breath was shallow. Long cuts were seen along his upper torso, each still fresh and gushing crimson blood.

"I told you not to be too hasty. I wasn't done teaching this juvenile his manners." Doom scoffed as he held a large metal pole that resembled a taser stick except with more voltage. Kiyo weakly looked up at Doom and spit blood on his shoulder.

"If I am a juvenile then you are older than dirt, you old geyser." Doom shoved the stick into Kiyo's ribcage, which both broke a few of his ribs and electrocuted him. Kiyo only bit down on his lip and held his breath.

"You see Fury, this child has absolutely no manners, and he simply won't break." Doom sounded both outstanded and joyous.

"Kiyo." Fury breathed the word. Kiyo looked up at him with signs of distain.

"Guess you got what you always wanted, huh. To see me pay for my crimes and be locked away behind bars. Well I can tell you this Director Fury. You will never hear me scream for help, and I will never break." He spit the words out like acid and Fury flinched as if he had been struck.

"Can it pint sized. I am the one with you so you do as I say." Doom's voice was annoyed. "No wonder you would want to get rid of him. I can't believe you put up with an annoying twerp like this for, what, seven years. I have to say I am impressed by your strength of will." Doom's voice was snide.

An arrow suddenly nocked the pole out of Doom's grasp as several gun shots and repulsor blasts were shot directly at him. Thor, Loki, and Bruce went to the cage to free Kiyo. Thor easily smashed the cage open and Loki quickly got to work on breaking the cuffs. Once the cuffs were broken Loki and Bruce both worked together on holding Kiyo up as Thor smashed Doom bots out of their way.

The Avengers quickly apprehended Doom and got Kiyo into medical care. A day after Doom had been apprehended he escaped and Kiyo was moved into the mansion. Fury was beyond furious to hear about Doom's escape and he refused to leave Kiyo's side as he recovered peacefully.

The first thing that registered in Kiyo's half-conscious mind was pain. Then he remembered what happened and bolted upright fully awake. However the pain in his side only grew and he partly collapsed to his left side. He felt a cool hand on his other shoulder and the dampness of his brow. His blurry eyes looked at the figure that was saying something to him, but he was already slipping back into the dark clutches of unconsciousness.

:) Switch

Fury sighed as he put Kiyo's unconscious form back under the covers. He stayed a moment longer replaying the look of fear in Kiyo's blurry eyes. Then Fury walked out to find the others. He walked to the kitchen as he suspected at least Thor would be there. To his surprise everyone was there and as he walked in all eyes followed him.

"So what brings tall dark and sleepless out of his cave?" Tony asked while eyeing Fury.

"Kiyo woke up a few moments ago unfortunately his conscious time wasn't long and he wasn't completely awake. He was very confused and scared from what I could tell." Fury said in his usual monotone.

"Well at least he woke up. No matter how brief it was it is still a good sign." Bruce interjected and Fury slightly smiled.

"I guess you are right Dr. Banner. I am just worried that when he fully wakes up he will disappear and get hurt even worse next time." Fury grimaced as images of Kiyo's bleeding form flashed through his mind. Loki walked over to him and put a hand on his shoulder looking him in the eye.

"We both know that when he wakes he will run but that is not what you are afraid of you are afraid that the next time he is caught in a weak point and can't escape that you won't be able to save him and in the end lose him. Am I right?" Fury nodded.

"I know that Kiyo is a strong boy, stronger than almost any other but I don't want to see him like that ever again. At one point in my life I would have been more than happy to do that myself but now… To see him like that… Finally caught by an enemy and behind bars. I would never want to see him in someone like Doom's hands that was never a question but still I don't think I would be able to handle watching him be caged up in Shield's cells either." Fury sighed.

"So you do have a heart, Cyclops." Everyone turned and to their surprise saw Kiyo. He had his back to the door frame and his head leaned up as he studied the roof. His arms were crossed over his torso and he had a relaxed sort of posture. Fury instantly stood up straighter and slowly walked over to Kiyo as if afraid he would spook the boy. Kiyo smirked. "Don't worry I am too weak to bite, at the moment." Kiyo turned his head and looked at Fury with eyes that seemed as if they were too dull to see. Fury stopped for a second then was in front of Kiyo a question on the tip of his tongue.

"I know what you are going to ask Nick, but, please don't. I don't think you would like the answer." Kiyo looked down sadly and Fury put a comforting hand on the side of Kiyo's face.

"Okay, I won't ask that question. However I will ask another one. What did he do to you?" Fury brought Kiyo's head up so Fury could look him in the eye, though it wouldn't help.

"I don't know." Kiyo's voice broke and a single tear fell from his eyes. He dropped his arms and slumped ever so slightly. Kiyo had become the image of utter defeat. "I all I know is I was carless and he got me, after that I don't know. I was able to keep a mental log for a few minutes after we got to his lab, but after that… All I know for curtain is he injected me with something." Fury raised his other hand and wiped away the tears that were threatening to slip out then pulled Kiyo to his chest and rested his head on top of the boys. Kiyo froze for a second then wrapped his arms around Fury's torso and buried his head in the other man's chest. The other Avengers watched in silence as they saw the once proud American Mafia leader fall apart piece by piece.

"I am sorry." Kiyo sniffed as he tried burying himself deeper into Fury's chest.

"For what?" Fury lifted his head and looked down at the boy.

"I shouldn't have said what I did while we were in Doom's lab. I wasn't thinking straight and I was hurt. I didn't like how you looked at me before and I hated you when I left the Mansion because I want it all just to fade into inconclusive folklore." Kiyo didn't even try to look up at Fury. Fury smiled sadly down at him then moved his right hand to stroke Kiyo's silver hair.

"I understand, and you don't have to apologize, I should have asked you before telling them. I had no right to tell what you want to leave behind." Kiyo finally looked up at Fury and smiled slightly.

Suddenly something changed. Kiyo's eyes widened and his grip on Fury loosened. He gasped and his legs buckled under him. Kiyo's eyes rolled back and then closed as he went limp. Fury quickly tightened hi grip on Kiyo before he could slipped out of Fury's grasp.

"Kiyo!" Fury picked Kiyo's limp form up and cradled it close to him. Bruce and Loki came to his side and looked at Kiyo.

"We need to lay him down in order to examine him better. Let us adjourn to his room where we can check his vital signs."

:) Skip

"Well the good news is he is stable but…" Bruce trailed off and looked sheepishly at Loki.

"But whatever Doom injected into him is taking its toll on the boy's body. If we don't get the antidote soon… He will die. I just hope he will be able to stay with us till we get to Doom." Loki looked sadly at the now closed door of Kiyo's room. "The boy truly is strong though." The other Avengers looked at him with a question in their minds. Loki noticed and smirked slightly. "Most humans would be screaming in pain for help or going mad. Instead he has already walked and talked normally, he hasn't even whimpered. It is truly amazing." Loki shook his head. Fury smiled.

"I told you he was and I know we will be able to get the antidote in time." Tony looked at Fury for a long moment then spoke.

"You hug him, smile for him, save him, and have total confidence in him. So what is the boy to you really?" Fury looked at him, all signs of mirth gone.

"He is like a son to me." Fury finally answered. Tony and Loki both smiled.

"You look good together. If only he were a good guy he could join us and have much more 'Father, Son Time'." Natasha said quietly and Clint agreed.

"Kiyo is who he is and I am happy with that."

"Wow, you can be happy? I thought it was only when you are drunk." Tony flippantly said as he walked down the hall.

:) Switch

Kiyo lay quietly for a while after The Avengers had left. 'I shouldn't get up again for a while, but I don't want to just lay here. I can't go back to sleep because of the pain and I don't think going over all of my problems will help the situation.' Kiyo's stomach growled. 'Well that makes up my mind. I just have to use less energy than I did before and I should be fine, not to mention a bit of food should do me good.' Kiyo sat up slowly and then proceeded to walk to the door. He kept his eyes shut since they would be little help and tried fumbling around like had before for the door.

"You should be laying down now shouldn't you?" Doom's voice came from behind him. "You being in the current state you are. I would have expected you to be all too grateful to just lie down and die. However you being the stubborn mule you are, you just keep going, huh." Kiyo felt something move along his side. It felt cool to the touch and hard like metal. Another thing of the same sort started moving slowly on his other side as well.

Kiyo froze as the things passed each other and he felt the solid form of Doom behind him. "You should have gotten away when you had the chance." Doom whispered into Kiyo's ear then he felt the cool metal of cuffs as they encircled his wrists tightly. Kiyo snapped out of the trance like state he had been in and began to struggle violently. "It is no use Kiyo you won't be escaping me this time, and just for good measure." Doom stuffed a wad of cloth in to the boy's mouth then took out another one to keep the first in place. Kiyo struggled harder and tried to speak past the cloth but to no avail. "You are mine now, and I am going to use you to hurt those little friends of yours." Kiyo finally opened his eyes but he couldn't see a thing. He had finally lost all sight he had. No light showed through the empty Darkness.

Kiyo goes limp. He has no way of escape and even if he managed to get Doom away from him he still has no idea where the door out is.

:) Fast Forward Sorry

He is lifted into the air and after a few minutes he is dropped onto hard tile. He tries to say something but again it is muffled by the cloth. Victor kicks Kiyo in the head after telling him to sit up. Kiyo slowly sits up with much effort and is now on his knees. A bag Doom had put over Kiyo's face for no reason is removed and he hears gasps of horror.

:) Back To Normal Speed Because I Am A Horrible Author

"Kiyo, are you alright?" Kiyo hears Steve asked worriedly he turns his face in the direction of the voice but can't seem to find exactly where he is. He shakes his head trying to clear it but it doesn't help. He helplessly sits back on his feet bows his head in resignation.

"Kiyo, what's wrong?" Steve asks slowly. Doom chuckles darkly then removes the cloth from around Kiyo's mouth so he can spit the other one out.

"Why don't you tell them yourself, Kiyo." In that moment Kiyo found the last bit of his strength and pinpointed Doom.

"Go to hell you sadistic bastard!" Kiyo spits out as he jumps up. Then using both of his feet kicks Doom in the chest, as he is shot backward he twists a bit and lands on his feet staggering a bit but still, to his knowledge, facing Doom. Kiyo's legs once more gave out from under him and he was left gasping for air.

"Kiyo!" Fury was now by his side. "You idiot you could have hurt yourself!"

"S…Sorry." Kiyo stuttered as he leaned heavily into Fury. "So where is Doom?" The room went silent for a minute, except for the still labored breaths of Kiyo.

"Can't you see him Squirt? You did just nock him to the other side of the room." Tony's voice was the first to be heard. Now it was Kiyo's turn to be silent as he looked down.

"Kiyo, look at me." Fury said after a while. A tear rolled down Kiyo's face.

"Can't." He said simply. Fury put a hand under Kiyo's chin then lifted it up with little resistance. Kiyo heard gasps from a few of the people around, though he couldn't tell who it was. "I'm sorry Nick."

"You really can't see me? Kiyo what happened." Fury sounded saddened.

"It is just as Dr. Banner and Loki said the stuff that was injected into me was hurting body, but my body isn't normal. The poison went to my eyes rather than the rest of my body. I guess I really can't fain being human, huh." Tears were now streaming down Kiyo's face as he smiled sadly. Fury pulled Kiyo into his chest and started rubbing his head again. "I'm sorry I just…" Kiyo trailed off and nuzzled deeper into Fury's chest.

"Shhh, there was nothing you could have done, Kiyo. You did the best you could and you have no reason to apologize for that."

"But I am completely useless now. Mother is going to hurt me, and you won't ever see me again. She will replace me with someone worse out of her lackeys while she throws my corps into the fucking ditch with all of the other defective children." Fury stiffened.

"Kiyo, listen to me. No matter what I won't let that happen. You are not useless and Mother won't even be able to breath down your neck while I am here." Kiyo moved his head so that it was tilted up and facing Fury's.

"But why… why would you risk your life to protect me, a known convict that has a track recorded worse that Doom, the leader of the American Mafia, and a monster?"

"Because you aren't a monster and I think of you as a son. Kiyo I don't want to lose you." Fury was wiping away the couple of tears that were still falling. "I have watched you grow up for seven years now, and I have bonded with you as often as you would let me. You may think that The Avengers Initiative is the specialist thing I have, but that isn't true. Kiyo you are the most important thing in my life, and to say that I would take a bullet if I could for you is an understatement." Kiyo smiled slightly.

"Thank you, Nick. I just wish I could stay a bit longer with you." His face went sad again and Fury looked at him in confusion.

"Why can't you?" Asked Loki. Kiyo turned his head in the other man's general direction.

"Mother is calling." Kiyo said simply as a thin trail of blood leaked out of the corner of his mouth and dripped off of his chin.
