Encounter with Dr. DOOM
“WHat?? Dr. Doom is on the loose?” asked The Thing.
“Yes.” Mr Fantastic answered with a sigh.
The Fantastic 4 has been battling with Dr. Doom for more than a month now. The infamous Dr. Doom was constantly attacking the Fantastic 4’s hideout. But in the recent days, Dr. Doom was dealing with Mr. Fantastic directly.
It all started when the Fantastic 4’s experiment went haywire. The experiment was called ‘Project H’. When Dr. Doom heard that something has gone wrong with the project, he immediately took advantage of the situation.
“I thought we took care of him already?”
“It seems that he is getting his powers from an unknown source of energy. I was not able to contain him at all. As of now, his whereabouts are unknown.”
Invisible Woman and the Human Torch came crashing thru the door.
“We came as soon as we heard the news.” said Invisble Woman. The Human Torch nodded in agreement.
Suddenly, the phone rang. It was 9pm.
“Hello?”
“This is Dr. Doom. We need to talk.”
“What do you want?” Mr Fantastic puts the phone in speaker mode.
“I want you fo fix Project H ASAP. I also want to know why the V Project failed, tell me why right now!”
“Preposterous! That is impossible! Even I still do not know why the V Project failed. I need more than 24 hours!” Mr. Fantastic exclaimed.
The Thing banged his fists on the table, obviously angered by Dr. Doom’s demands. What does Dr. Doom think of us, super-computers? After a few moments though, the Thing came to his senses. He realized that Dr. Doom was heartless.
4 hours has passed since the phone rang and the discussion went in circles. It was 1 am of the next day. The 2 projects obviously were very important to Dr. Doom. It seemed that his life depended on it.
“I’ll be giving you another 48 hours. After that, I will call you back.” said the doctor. “But if you fail me, better be ready to face the consequences…”
Click. The phone was dropped.
“What do we do?” asked Human Torch.
“I guess we can’t do anything much. Let us meet up again at 9 am tomorrow.” said Invisible Woman.
