Fantastic Four and Doctor Doom
Midtown High
POV : Nightwing
Recently there is a growing trend of the students talking about their favorite heroes and fighting of the week. As both Felicia and I walk towards our locker, we can hear Flash and his friends in a heated discussion as they watch a video on Flash's smartphone of Daredevil and Spider-Man fighting a group of weapon smugglers at the dock.
Flash cheered in delight seeing one after another smuggler taken down by the duo "Look at that move! So smooth and graceful! That is why Spider-Man is my favorite".
Peter who was walking towards me, overheard their conversation and looked at Flash in surprise.
"Nope, Iron Man is better. He can blast away Spider-Man with one move" one of Flash's friends replied as the others included Daredevil and Nightwing.
Noticing Peter, Flash called out "Who is your favorite, Peter?" Flash treats Peter slightly better recently since Peter is tutoring him to keep his grades up to play football.
"Err...I think.. I like Spider-Man too" Peter said blushing slightly.
Hearing Peter's answer, Flash put his hand over Peter's shoulder with enthusiasm and said "Yes, one more for team Spider-Man. Peter lets make a Spider-Man fan club, he needs all our help since J Jonah Jameson keeps giving Spider-Man bad press".
"Err... Sure thing...Flash..." Peter replied.
I smile to myself as I see the irony of the situation. Peter became his own fan member.
Felicia nudges me saying "I never heard you showing any interest in superheroes. Do you hate them?".
Looking at Felicia, I replied "I like them too just that no one asked me about them".
"Who is your favorite" Felicia asked curiously.
"She is still new but my favorite is Black Cat" I replied as I opened my locker.
"What!" Felicia said in shock as her books fell out of her locker.
Helping Felicia pick up her books from the floor, I replied "What is there a problem?".
"It... is... err... unexpected" Felicia replied with a stutter before asking "Why her? Is it because she is very beautiful".
"She is beautiful but that is not the reason why I like her" I said drawing her attention "I like her because she makes huge changes to herself by turning into a new leaf. From a burglar, she used her abilities to protect people. She is a true inspiration".
Felicia blushed slightly, she softly complained "You think too highly of her, I don't think she is that special".
Smirking at her, I said "Don't be jealous Felicia, I still believe you will look better in her costume" causing Felicia to blush deep red embarrassment.
...
It has been a slow week, other than placing surveillance on the SHIELD agents as I made preparations to visit them, I have to stop a car chase and a few mugging incidences. I decided to go to the top of the tall building to enjoy the view of the city before going back to complete my research and projects.
I looked over the city enjoying the beautiful view of the skyline, knowing that the city has become a bit more safer since The Defenders is established. Looks like I have to build planes to bring the Defenders to different parts of the state and find more new members soon. I wondered who should find it to help build teleporting devices.
Suddenly I hear a voice from above complaining "You are a very difficult person to find, Nightwing!".
Looking upward I saw a human flying in the sky engulfed in fire, slowly landed on top of the same building and walked towards me. The flames on the man slowly dissipate revealing a man with short blond hair and blue eyes wearing a blue costume with a letter four.
"Hi, I am Johnny Storm, you can call me the Human Torch" Johnny said and gave his best pose and gave a small salute with two fingers.
"Hi" I replied feeling confused "Why have you been searching for me?"
Johnny gave a smirk of confidence and said "Lets get straight to business, I am joining your team and I want to use my power to become a hero. So when do I begin".
"No" I replied casually.
"What?" Johnny replied in surprise "Why not? My power can help contribute a lot to your team".
Looking at him, I said "You will have to undergo a test from all the members before joining. Power is not everything, it is whether you can be calm to any situation, listen to order and not be a loose cannon who goes gun blazing in all fights"
"I can do all that and you are beginning to sound like my sister" Johnny argued back.
"Your sister did? Hmm...that means you still lack some self control" I replied.
"Give me a chance, I can prove it to you" Johnny said pleading.
"I want to ask you something?" I asked as Johnny quickly replied "Ask me anything I am an open book".
"If you want to join us, we don't want a self absorbed person that spends most of his time doing publicity about himself then heroic duties" I said causing him to look at me in surprise. I continued "Since getting your power, have you tried helping people without being told to do so?".
Johnny stood there in a silent feel with a mixed emotion of anger and embarrassment.
Seeing him staying in silence, I said "I think you need to think more about this issue. Once you decide you can find me" as Johnny slowly nods his head.
Suddenly there is a huge power surge in New York City as the light in New York City's building blacked out and quickly returned.
"What is happening?" Johnny asked.
"Oracle talks to me, what is happening?" I called out to Oracle.
Oracle replied "A huge power surge coming from Baxter Building. There seems to be some commotion between Reed Richards and Victor Von Doom".
Looking at Johnny, I said "Johnny, your family is in trouble! You head to the Baxter Building. I will be right behind you".
"Right!" Johnny replied "Flame on!" as he flies up into the sky towards Baxter Building.
"Damn he is fast!" I said to myself.Thinking to myself, that this might be the Fantastic Four movie event, the only difference is Human Torch is flying much earlier compared to the movie.
"Oracle keeps track of Victor Von Doom and Reeds Richards" I quickly ordered which she replied "Right away!" as I quickly jump off the building a glide away complaining "There goes my day".
...
8 minutes later
Oracle tracked them to Victor Von Doom's penthouse. Just as I arrived at the top floor, I saw a man dressed in armor and a metallic helmet with a dark green cape holding a missile launcher aimed at Baxter Building.
"Not so fast" I said rushing forward and took out my normal wingding.
I quickly threw it towards the Doom's hand causing him to drop the missile launcher. Doom shouted in surprise "What! Who dares to...!"
I interrupted his speech by running towards him and kicking him off the building ledge as he shouted "Argh!!!!!!" as Doom falls off the building.
I approached Reed and off the liquid nitrogen tank, and took off his restraints. Reed who is frozen in a chair looked at me surprised.
"Johnny Storm had met me, when all this happened! Stay here! Your friends will arrive soon" I said as I chased after Doom by jumping off the ledge. "Oracle, inform the civilians to get away from this location" I ordered.
As I glide downward, I saw Doom slowly, coming out of the crater in the middle of the road.
I shouted to all the bystanders "Everyone get away, move!" as Doom slowly raised his hand and started shooting lightning towards me. Trying to avoid it, the lightning grazed me. Seeing this the crowd started running away screaming.
"Not bad you are the first person to hit me!" I commented
"Lesson of the day, don't glide down towards enemies that can shoot lightning" I complained to myself.
"How dare you interrupt me! I will have your head!" Doom roared.
Suddenly the Human Torch aka Johnny came flying in "Take this, Asshole!" as he shoots a blast of fire towards Doom's back causing him to stumble forward.
Invisible Woman aka Sue Storm came flying on her force shield "Victor, Where is Reed?".
I quickly replied "He is in your friend' s pent house" as I ran towards Doom and delivered a punch to his chest sending him smashing into a car.
"Johnny, check on Reed" Invisible Woman ordered as Human Torch complained "But...". Noticing his sister glaring at him, Human Torch quickly fly towards the pent house
"Nightwing, Let me reason with him first!" Invisible Woman called out.
"Sure but I am not sure he is in a listening mood" I replied as I avoided a Doom's lightning attack from the wreckage.
"Victor" Invisible Woman called which Doom replied "Call me Doom" as he stood back up from the wreckage.
"We can turn you back with the machine! It works on Ben, so it will work on you!" Invisible Woman tried convincing Doom.
Doom arrogantly replied "Did you think fate turns us into God, so that we could refuse this gift".
Invisible Woman criticize "You always think that you are god".
"Susan, let's not fight! We should rule the world together" Doom tried reasoning.
"Since you can't be the reason, let's fight!" Invisible Woman replied as she turned invisible and shot her force field towards Doom sending him stumbling away from her.
"Told ya" I said as I punched Doom crashing into the ground before jumping back to safety.
Sudden Ben Grimm aka The Thing came charging "It is clobbering time!" as he slams both his fists towards Doom's chest creating a huge crater. Doom shoots a blast of lightning sending The Thing flying backward.
Reed Richard aka Mister Fantastic came and wrapped his whole rubbery body around Doom trying to trap Doom's movement.
"You can't stop me, Reed" Doom uses his lightning to throw him off his body.
The Human Torch came flying in shooting blast fire after fire distracting Doom.
I grab a manhole cover and throw it towards Doom's chest like a discuss sending him crashing into a dump truck.
The Human Torch flew down towards me and said "Nightwing, this is my family Mr Fantastic, Invisible Woman and The Thing" doing a double take at the Thing, Human Torch said "Great to have you back, Buddy!"
"Ya! Ya! Flame butt!" The Thing replied.
"Thank you for helping us, Nightwing" Mr Fantastic said thankfully.
"No problem!" I replied.
Invisible Woman asked "Do you have any idea on how to stop him!"
"Human Torch, you help keep him distracted. Once we attack stay back as support" I ordered.
"I am on it" Human Torch replied as he flew up towards the dump truck as everyone looked in amazement at him. Invisible Woman commented softly "It is weird to see Johnny listening to orders" as The Thing nodded his head.
"Once I give the order, Mister Fantastic you will restrain Doom. Make sure he doesn't move as long as possible" I ordered.
Mister Fantastic complained "His lightning..." I quickly interrupted "Don't worry, I will handle that"
"The Thing, you will help Mister Fantastic to restrain Doom but first help Flame boy distract Doom" I ordered. The Thing nodded his head saying "It is clobbering time!".
"You are the main attack Invisible Woman, use your force field to cover his whole face. Make sure to choke him out with no air until I tell you to stop!" I ordered as she replied "I think I understand what you are planning to do!"
"Hey Victor!" Ben roared as he charged toward Doom sending crashing toward a bus as they continued their brawl.
While all this is happening I went to the top of the building and grabbed several lightning rods. Tying all of them together I quickly went down to help the others.
Doom sent out a lightning punch sending Ben flying backward and said "No one can stop me!"
The Human Torch shouted out "Take this!" as he shoots a blast of fire one after another as Doom shoots lightning blast that Human Torch easily avoided.
"Move" I shouted as I threw the lightning rod like a javelin piercing the road near Doom.
"You missed" Doom commented as I replied "No I didn't" as I shot my webbing wrapping Doom around the lightning rod. I quickly shoot my web netting and spun it around him like a cocoon.
Doom tried to use his lightning but failed since the lightning rod helped ground him "What! How?!"
"Not going to tell you" I replied "Mister Fantastic, you are up" which he replied "Good Idea, Nightwing" as Mister Fantastic wraps Doom's body.
"The Thing, it is your turn" I called out as he held Mister Fantastic and Doom in his arms tightly.
"Invisible Woman your move, make sure your force field is small. Human Torch, hang back just in case" I ordered as she uses her force field to prevent Doom from breathing.
After a whole minute of struggling, Doom finally fainted due to asphyxia.
All of the Fantastic Four members fall down flat on the ground feeling exhausted.
"Great job everyone" I commented.
The Human Torch excitedly asked "So are we in The Defenders now?" causing Invisible Woman to slap her own forehead saying "Not this again" as The Thing informed me "Get ready! He is very persistent".
