A Prank Gone Wrong
Chapter 2—Payback
Author's Note: This was originally a one-shot, but… I couldn't help but think about what one reviewer said, and I finally came up with an idea. This might just be it, or I might possibly make it longer. It might not be totally in-character, but it's intended to be funny. Enjoy!
Doc Ock watched Max Dillon leave the small, modest house, slamming the front door. Electro walked down the street, no doubt headed towards The Bar With No Name for a night of drinking and partying with other criminals.
He emerged from where he had been hiding in the bushes. So, Max thought he could play a prank on him, did he? Despite the fact that Ock had beaten the crap out of Electro afterwards, he had still gotten away and told everyone that he had 'played the ultimate April Fool's joke on Doc Ock.' Ock still got funny looks and practically laughed at every time he met another villain on the street or at the bar.
Sure, beating Electro to a pulp had given him some satisfaction, but he really wouldn't be satisfied until Max Dillon had been as, if not more than, humiliated than he had been.
Doc Ock looked over his stash of toilet paper, silly string, and eggs, making damn sure he had everything. He wasn't going to be able to humiliate Electro without the right equipment, now was he?
He looked around, making sure that Electro was well and truly gone. Satisfied, a malicious grin spread across his face.
It was payback time.
Doc Ock picked up some eggs with his tentacles and began egging Electro's car. This was going to be fun…
The next morning, Max Dillon stumbled on the sidewalk on his way home, still half-drunk. Damn, what a night that had been! He had gotten totally trashed and had been hitting it up with some girl for half the night. He barely remembered any of it, but Max knew that he had had one hell of a time.
He walked up the sidewalk to his small, modest home…
And just stared.
Toilet paper was strung everywhere; on the eaves, wrapped around the porch, all over the roof… It made his already run-down house look absolutely ridiculous, with toilet paper draped everywhere. There was even toilet paper draped on the small trees lining his porch. There was multicolored silly string staining the windows…
In the driveway sat Electro's yellow van, which someone had egged. Egg shells were everywhere, on the driveway; on the windshield… The driver's door was open, and the inside of the van was covered with eggs as well. It also looked as though someone had keyed his car.
All in all, it was a total mess. His house and van looked ridiculously vandalized…
Who the hell had done this? Probably the group of rowdy agers down the street. Needless to say, he was very mad at whoever had done this. Electro stomped up to the porch and was about to yank open the front door when he noticed something… A note? What the hell?
Electro ripped the note off the door and read it.
Max,
I hope you enjoy cleaning up all of that mess!
Sincerely,
Doctor Octavius
Electro crumpled up the note in anger and disgust. Of course it had been Doc Ock! Who else could have gotten the toilet paper up that high on the roof?
Doc Ock had been sore with him over the prank Electro had pulled on him, but he hadn't thought that he would do this…
Well, he would soon find out that Electro wasn't a person to mess with, because now…
This was war.
