Midtown High
Recently there is a growing trend of the students talking about their favorite heroes and fight 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 Spiderman 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 Spiderman is my favorite".
Peter who was walking towards me, overhead their conversation looked at Flash in surprised.
"Nope, Ironman is better. He can blast away Spiderman 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 treat Peter slightly better recently since Peter is tutoring him to keep his grades up to play football.
"Err....I think.. I like Spiderman too" Peter said blushing slightly.
Hearing Peter's answer, Flash put his hand over Peter's shoulder with enthusiasm said "Yes, one more for team Spiderman. Peter lets make a Spiderman fan club, he need all our help since J Jonah Jameson keep giving Spiderman bad press".
"Err.... Sure thing....Flash..." Peter replied.
I smile to myself as I see the irony of the situation. Peter becoming his own fan member.
Felicia nudge me saying "I never heard you showing any interest in superhero. 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 open 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 stuttered 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 make 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 complain "You think to 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.
.....
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 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 walk 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 as gave his best pose and gave a small salute with two finger.
"Hi" I replied feeling confuse "Why have you been searching for me?"
Johnny gave a smirk of confidence 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 surprised "Why not? My power can help contribute a lot to your team".
Looking at him, I said "You will have to undergo 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 mean you still lack some self control" I replied.
"Give me a chance, I can proof it too 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 spend 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 been told to do so?".
Johnny stood there in silence feel with mix 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 nod 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 return.
"What is happening?" Johnny asked.
"Oracle talk to me, what is happening?" I called out to Oracle.
Oracle replied "A huge power surge coming from Baxter Building. There seem 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 Baxter Building. I will be right behind you".
"Right!" Johnny replied "Flame on!" as he fly 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 keep track of Victor Von Doom and Reeds Richards" I quickly ordered which she replied "Right away!" as I quickly jump of 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 to the top floor, I saw a man dressed in armor and metallic helmet with 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 throw 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 run towards him and kicking him off the building ledge as he shouted "Argh!!!!!!" as Doom fall of the building.
I approach Reed and off the liquid nitrogen tank, and took off his restraints. Reed who is frozen in chair looked at me in surprised.
"Johnny Storm meet me, when all this happen! Stay here! Your friends will arrive soon" I said as I chase after Doom by jumping of the ledge. "Oracle inform the civilians to get away from this location" I ordered
As I glide downward, I saw Doom slowly, come out of the crater in the middle of the road.
I shouted to all the bystanders "Everyone get away, move!" as Doom slowly raise his hand and started shooting lighting 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 enemy 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 shoot 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 run 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 work on Ben, so it will work on you!" Invisible Woman tried convincing Doom.
Doom arrogantly replied "Did you think fate turn us into God, so that we could refuse this gift".
Invisible Woman criticize "You always think that you are god".
"Susan, lets not fight! We should rule the world together" Doom tried reasoning.
"Since you can't be reason, lets fight!" Invisible Woman replied as she turn invisible and shoot her force field towards Doom sending him stumbling away from her.
"Told ya" I said as I punch Doom crashing into the ground before jumping back to safety.
Sudden Ben Grimm aka The Thing came charging "It is clobbering time!" as he slam both his fist towards Doom's chest creating a huge crater. Doom shoot a blast of lightning sending The Thing flying backward.
Reed Richard aka Mister Fantastic came and wrap his whole rubbery body around Doom trying to trap Doom's movement.
"You can't stop me, Reed" Doom use his lightning to throw him of 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 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 fly up towards the dump truck as everyone look 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 restraint Doom. Make sure he don't move as long as possible" I ordered.
Mister Fantastic complain "His lightning..." I quickly interrupted "Don't worry, I will handle that"
"The Thing, you will help Mister Fantastic to restraint 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 grab 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 said "No one can stop me!"
The Human Torch shouted out "Take this!" as he shoot blast of fire one after another as Doom shoot lightning blast that Human Torch easily avoided.
"Move" I shouted as I throw the lightning rod like a javelin piercing the road near Doom.
"You missed" Doom commented as I replied "No i didn't" as I shoot 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 fail since the lightning rod help 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 wrap Doom's body.
"The Thing it is your turn" I called out as he hold 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 use 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.
