  [Victor Von Doom's Mansion]

  Reed finally gathered enough evidence against Victor to put him down food. Starting from hag into Baxter Building, to selling out sensitive information from Shield's database, Victor had itted many crimes. Reed was sitting at his desk with the evidence id out in front of him. Ben had found some evidence as well which they were going to use against Victor. It was a long time ing, but now that Reed knew he could put Victor behind bars food. He wao inform Sue about this, but after their break up, Reed didn't have the ce to meet her.

  He wao call Johnny, but he was with the Avengers in Siberia, dealing with a group of mutant terrorists.

  So, Reed and Ben decided to front Victor, but not without preparation. Last time, he almost killed every, but not this time. Reed knows very well how Victor's power to absorb and manipute electricity works. So, he prepared termeasures against it. His new suits were designed specifically to handle Victor's powers. Reed wore the suit and asked Ben to apany him.

  "You sure about this?" Ben asked while getting inside his car.

  "Yeah, I'm sure," Reed answered as he started the engine.

  "We should have let Fury in on this," Ben said worriedly.

  Reed sighed and replied, "Victor is no fool, Ben. He has his informers in SHIELD and you already trol their informatiowork. If we tell SHIELD about our pn, he will find out. Then this whole operation will go down the drain."

  "Well, hope your new suit works against him because st time we faced Doom, he nearly fried us alive," Ben said remembering the fight between them.

  "Don't worry, this suit is specifically made to handle his powers. Once we get close enough, I take away his powers." Reed reassured Ben.

  Soon they reached Victor's Mansion. They both got out of the car and walked towards the mansion gate. A few guards greeted them on their way in. The butler opehe door and led Reed aowards Victor's office.

  Reed knocked on the door before entering. He saw Victor sitting by the desk w on something. He turned around to face Reed and smiled devilishly at him.

  "Ah, Reed! It's been a long time since we've met," Victor stood up and weled him with open arms. "What brings you here today?" he asked while p a gss of scotch for himself.

  "Cut the crap, Doom! We know what you've done!" Ben said angrily as he stepped forward.

  Victor looked at Ben with disdain and said, "I expected better from you, Grimm. But you still don't know how things work in this city."

  Ben growled and was about to attack Victor wheopped him. He then turo face Victor and said, "Enough games, Victor! We know everything. You're finished!" Reed showed Victor all the evidehey collected against him.

  Viirked as he took a sip from his gss, "So? What are you going to do now? Turn me over to the authorities? You know, what would happen if certaiive information about SHIELD gets leaked into the publiain." He threatehem before sipping some more from his gss.

  "You bastard!" Ben cursed under his breath.

  "Now, now, o get aggressive. I'm just saying. Besides, what do you think people would say if they learned about your little experiments on the prisoners? You know, cyberics stuff and all. You are doing that, right?" Victor said with a sly smirk.

  "What?!" Reed excimed in shock.

  Ben who was unaware of it looked toward Reed with a baffled expression.

  Victhed maniacally before saying, "Oh yes! I know everything! I have proof! Proofs that could destroy your career, Richards!"

  "You..." Reed gritted his teeth in anger as he stared daggers at Victor.

  "Now, why don't we fet this whole thing ever happened? You keep living with your experiments while I tinue my business. Sounds good?" Victor asked as he poured anss for himself.

  "No!" Reed refused and pulled out a ized gun from his jacket pocket. He aimed it at Victor's head and said, "Today, I'm putting ao this madness! Food!"

  Victor raised an eyebrow at Reed before chug softly, "Really? A gun?! What? You have ized it with some kind of power dampener or something? e on, Reed! I thought you were smarter than that!" he taunted while finishing his drink and stood up.

  [Zing!] Reed fired the gun without hesitation.

  "Hahaha! Did you really think—ARGHHH!" Victor screamed in agony as an energy bst hit him straight in the chest, sending him crashing into the wall behind him.

  Reed quickly fired five more shots at Victor, each hitting him straight in the chest. The energy waves didn't cause any damage to the floor or other properties and only affected Victor. He then took out a round devid threw it at Victor who was lying on the floor. Multiple glowing s erupted from the device, binding him tightly.

  "WHAT IS THIS?!" Victor struggled to break free from the s.

  Reed walked towards him and said, "This is my new iion. It isotes the mutated DNA and all traces of ic radiation within your body, rendering them i." He expined with a cold tone before adding, "Basically, it shuts down your powers."

  "NO! YOU 'T DO THIS! I AM VICTOR VON DOOM! NO ONE DEFEAT ME!" Victor screamed hysterically as he tried desperately to break free from the s.

  "Sorry, old friend... but I'm not letting you get away this time."

  "Hahahahaha!" Victor suddenly burst into ughter, startling Reed. He the Reed and said, "Oh, Reed... shut down my power?" He stood up from the floor, ripping apart the energy s with his bare hands.

  "Stretch! Something isn't right," Ben warned Reed who was staring dumbfoundedly at Victor.

  "Impossible! That device should have nullified his powers pletely!" Reed excimed as he fired multiple shots at Victor. But before the energy bsts could even reach Victor, they vanished into thin air. He looked at Victor in utter disbelief.

  "Hahaha! How was my act? Pretty goht?" Victor threw a bolt of green energy at Ben, trapping him in a magic cage. Ben tried to break free, but he couldn't even move his body. He tried to curse, but his mouth won't move. "Shut up! Insignifit creature." Victor then turowards Reed and said, "You fool! Your habit of relying on teology always backfires! Magic is superior to sce! Always!" He threw another bolt of green energy at Reed.

  Reed used his flexibility to dodge the attack while firing energy bsts at Victor. But Victor easily deflected them using his magic shield. He then formed a green spear with his hand and hurled it towards Reed. Reed dodged it, but the spear ged its trajectory and chased after him. He tio dodge it while firing energy bsts at Victor.

  Ben, who was uo do anything, watched helplessly as Reed fought against Victor.

  Meanwhile, Reed threw his gun away and switched to the device. It's a metal bracelet with three buttons on it. Reed pressed the first button which released a magic pulse. Victor, who was in the middle of casting a spell, was caught off guard by the sudden pulse. He staggered backward slightly.

  "Another one of yadgets? How very disappointing, Reed! I expected more from you!" Victor taunted Reed while throwing bolts of green energy at him.

  Reed used his stretchy limbs to avoid the attacks and pressed the sed button on the bracelet. A beam of red light shot out from the bracelet and hit Victor in the chest. But was deflected upon ing in tact with his armor.

  "Ah! I should have mentiohis," Victor ripped apart his clothes, revealing a set of mystical armor underh it. He summoned his signature mask and wore it. "This armor was fed in the fmes of the herworld, Reed! No mortal on harm me while I'm wearing this!" He taunted before ereg a square barrier arouo prevent him from jumping around like a ping-pong ball.

  "Crap!" Reed cursed under his breath and pressed the third button. Another beam of red light shot out from the bracelet, but this time it went through Victor's barrier and hit him straight in the eyes. "Well, it might not affect your armor, but what about the gap in your mask?" The beam pierced through his head, damaging his brain tissue and eyeballs. Victor screamed in pain before colpsing on the ground.

  The energy barrier disappeared.

  "Without your ic power, your body is just like a regur human. Well, your armor protects you from all attacks and that magic caught me off-guard, but even you need eyes to see." Reed approached Victor who wasn't even moving anymore. Blood ewing out of his eyes which were charred bck. "I'm sorry, Victor. But this o be done." Reed aimed his bracelet at Victor and prepared to fire.

  "Reed! Behind you!" Ben yelled.

  As soon as he turned back, Ben grabbed his throat and squeezed hard.

  "Oh, Reed. Look what you have doo me." Victor's voice echoed around the room.

  "Wait! Ben! It's me! Reed!" Reed struggled to break free from Ben's grip, but Ben was to.

  "STOP IT, STRETCH! He's in my head! TROLLING MY BODY!" Ben gritted his teeth in agony as Victor used his body to choke Reed.

  "Argh! This is bad! Really bad!" Reed stretched his neck away from Ben's grip before twisting his arms. With the help of his esticity, Reed somehow squeezed out of Ben's grip and ed his arms around him.

  Suddenly, Reed's body went limp as he fell to the floor and so was Ben.

  "Aahhh!" Reed sat up on the floor with a loud groan. He looked around and saw Ben's unscious body and Victor's dead body. "Finally!" He stood up and waved his hand, juring a mirror before cheg his face. "Well, Reed. Good knowing you. Starting today, your body belongs to me and so is everything you have. Hahahahaha!" Victhed maniacally. He took over Reed's body and banished his soul to the underworld.

  He then turowards Ben and said, "Well, Grimm. I would have killed you a long time ago. But you still have your uses. So, I'm keeping you alive." Victor then cast a spell on Ben, maniputing his memories and making him believe that Victor is dead. "Now, where should we start? Oh, yeah. That alien artifact Carht you from another p. I heard it owerful enough to destroy aire p. Hmmm, let's check that out first. But, we better take care of this mess first, shall we?"

  "What's iing?" Felicia asked curiously as she came closer to Peter. She g the file Peter was currently looking at and her eyes widened in shock. She grabbed his shoulder and gave it a tight squeeze, "You... You alright?"

  "Yeah. Haha..." Peter let out a dry ugh before leaning ba his chair. "Damn! I didn't expect this at all! This is worse than I thought!"

  "Peter..."

  "I now know which path I took for them to e after me to kill me... Michelle... Fucker killed Michelle... She regnant with my child..." Peter gritted his teeth in anger as he ched his fists tightly. He tried his best to trol his anger, but it roving to be very difficult.

  Felicia could only sigh helplessly as she stood there watg him.

"Reed Richards... That motherfug son of a bitch! I'm gonna skin him alive, Felicia. Do you think skinning a flexible rubber man alive is possible? Hahaha!" Peter ughed maniacally as tears flowed down his cheeks.

  Felicia hugged Peter from behind aly caressed his head to fort him.

  "I'm gonna find that out... I'm gonna skin him alive..." Peter felt intense pain as his emotions overwhelmed him. He felt a weird sensation on his back. He pushed Felicia away and crouched down on the floor as an intense pain shot through his body. He felt as if his spinal cord was being twisted around. "ARRRGGGG!!" He felt something moving inside his body, trying to burst out.

  Felicia tried to e closer.

  "Don't... Just Arggg! Just, stay back..." Peter groaned in pain.

  [SPRRUUTTT!] Six bony legs erupted from his back. They were covered in blood and had a metallic texture to them. They were shaped like spider legs but were very sharp and jagged. "ARRGGGGG!!!!" Blood and flesh were torn apart as six rge appendages emerged from Peter's back.

  Felicia gasped in horror as she saw Peter's transformation.
