章 82: Chapter 81

I smiled under my helmet, "simple, I'm better than you," I stood up straight and crossed my arms over my chest, "now, eat this!" I threw my arms apart activating the unibeam of my arc reactor,

Doom's eyes widened in surprise as he was smashed with the full front of the arc reactor's power. The Parker Blood lining my suit siphoned off his electricity and pushed into the arc reactor. Thank's for the boost Jackass!

Finally I stopped, my hands dropping to the side from exhaustion. "How?!" Doom yelled as he slowly got back on his feet, "how do you possess this technology?!"

"I stole it off a drone," I smiled.

"Insolent fool! No matter, Doom will not be stopped!" he yelled snapping his fingers.

The drones I had webbed up to one side suddenly came alive as I tore through the webbing and charged at me. They grabbed me and pinned me to the wall. I struggled, punching my way out of this trap made from their own bodies, ripping them apart piece by piece.

"Stop Richards," Doom sent out a bolt of energy hitting Reed in the back. Reed yelled in pain and fell down. Doom stepped over his body and worked away at the terminal, and in a few short seconds the purple sheen over the portal disappeared.

"It was hopeless to even try to resist Doom Richards," Victor gloated as he walked towards the portal, "all this power, all this knowledge, and you would seek to hide it away like a bastard son? Truly thou are a fool of the highest caliber Richards."

"No, not the highest caliber," Reed grinned as he stretched out one finger and pressed a button. Suddenly the machine groaned and then started to pull everything into it.

"What did you do?!" Doom yelled as he walked away from the sucking effect of the portal.

"Sending you where you belong!" Reed yelled out as he threw a punch that pushed Doom back. But it wasn't enough to push him through.

"I got this!" I yelled sending out another unibeam that tore through my robot wardens. I broke free and ran at Doom, jumping at him, thrusting both legs into his gut that sent him flying back.

"See you! Wouldn't want to be you!" I yelled as I threw a web line at the wall and held on as Doom yet flying through the portal.

"NOOO!" he yelled. The moment he slipped through Reed stopped the machine with the press of another button stopping the portal from sucking int more items.

I sighed as I let go, panting in relief. I turned to him, "did you plan that?"

He nodded, "Victor's ego would demand someone be there to witness his victory. And his hatred for me all but confirmed that person was going to be me."

"So you turned the portal into a trap," I sighed and layed down on my back, "nice. Never doubted you for a second there big chief. I'm just-ah, I'm just going to rest here for a while, okay? Okay."

Reed chuckled as he lied down next to me, "I think I'll join you."

After I felt my body recover I went out and helped Reed destroy the barrier Doom had put up around the Baxter building. I then swung down to rescue Johnny who was still unconscious. We managed to wake him, Sue and Ben up.

The other were pretty pissed they got knocked out so easily, but were glad that Doom was finally stopped. Though Sue was sad at the lengths we had to go to stop him.

In an hours time though there were men in black suits knocking on our doors and in walked agents of SHIELD. None that I recognized, so I didn't mention I was working for them as well.

They helped clean up, taking the Doom bots for storeage. We didn't really try and stop them, though Sue did keep an eye on them to make sure nothing of ours was stolen or mishandled. They left quickly and we all decided to just call it a night.

"Yeah, don't worry aunt May I'm fine, I wasn't even in the top floors at the time," I grumbled into the phone as May once again went into a worried rant about how careful I should be, "don't worry aunt May, I'll be fine. I will be coming home late today though, I need to help clean up the lab. Okay?" She agreed and I hanged up wishing her and Ben and happy new year.

I went back to my lab and finally removed my helmet. I walked up to my table and smiled looking at the nearly fully intact Doom bot I managed to sneak away. Doom was a mad man, but he was also a genius. A crazy genius...okay, more in the crazy department than the genius department.

But unfortunately, I couldn't do that tonight, it was getting late, it was New Year's eve and I had a promise to keep.

I turned to the robot and looked around, finding it's power core and quickly turned it off. I wasn't stupid, there was a chance Doom could send a signal from the dimensional portal machine and remotely activate this robot to free him from his prison.

...what? It could totally happen, this was a comic book after all.

I put on my mask and opened my lab window. I jumped out and swung into the night. It was thirty minutes to midnight, perfect. I swung to a nearby bakery that was still open and bought a cake.

It was odd standing in line at the counter like a regular person while in my costume. Heck people even started taking pictures with me and posting it on their social media pages. I quickly payed for the cake and ran out into the night, making my way to Felicia's apartment.

I landed outside her window and knocked. Felicia looked up from her bed and smiled. She walked over and opened her window smiling, "hello stranger."
