[Victor Von Doom's Mansion]

Reed finally gathered enough evidence against Victor to put him down for good. Starting from hacking into Baxter Building, to selling out sensitive information from Shield's database, Victor had committed many crimes. Reed was sitting at his desk with the evidence laid 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 coming, but now that Reed knew he could put Victor behind bars for good. He wanted to inform Sue about this, but after their break up, Reed didn't have the courage to meet her.

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

So, Reed and Ben decided to confront 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 manipulate electricity works. So, he prepared countermeasures against it. His new suits were designed specifically to handle Victor's powers. Reed wore the suit and asked Ben to accompany 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 control their information network. If we tell SHIELD about our plan, he will find out. Then this whole operation will go down the drain."

"Well, hope your new suit works against him because last 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 can 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 opened the door and led Reed and Ben towards Victor's office.

Reed knocked on the door before entering. He saw Victor sitting by the desk working 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 welcomed him with open arms. "What brings you here today?" he asked while pouring a glass 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 when Reed stopped him. He then turned to face Victor and said, "Enough games, Victor! We know everything. You're finished!" Reed showed Victor all the evidence they collected against him.

Victor smirked as he took a sip from his glass, "So? What are you going to do now? Turn me over to the authorities? You know, what would happen if certain sensitive information about SHIELD gets leaked into the public domain." He threatened them before sipping some more from his glass.

"You bastard!" Ben cursed under his breath.

"Now, now, no need to 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, cybernetics stuff and all. You are doing that, right?" Victor said with a sly smirk.

"What?!" Reed exclaimed in shock.

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

Victor laughed 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.

"Oh, Reed. Look what you have done to 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 too strong.

"STOP IT, STRETCH! He's in my head! CONTROLLING 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 elasticity, Reed somehow squeezed out of Ben's grip and wrapped 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 unconscious body and Victor's dead body. "Finally!" He stood up and waved his hand, conjuring a mirror before checking his face. "Well, Reed. Good knowing you. Starting today, your body belongs to me and so is everything you have. Hahahahaha!" Victor laughed maniacally. He took over Reed's body and banished his soul to the underworld.

He then turned towards 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, manipulating his memories and making him believe that Victor is dead. "Now, where should we start? Oh, yeah. That alien artifact Carol brought you from another planet. I heard it was powerful enough to destroy an entire planet. Hmmm, let's check that out first. But, we better take care of this mess first, shall we?"

[Back to Peter's house] [30 minutes earlier]

"What's interesting?" Felicia asked curiously as she came closer to Peter. She glanced at 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 laugh before leaning back on 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 come after me to kill me... Michelle... Fucker killed Michelle... She was pregnant with my child..." Peter gritted his teeth in anger as he clenched his fists tightly. He tried his best to control his anger, but it was proving to be very difficult.

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

"He went after Gwen... She was also pregnant with my child... He killed the baby and left her to live with guilt..." Peter's hands trembled uncontrollably as his mind replayed the scenes from his dreams. "Reed Richards... That motherfucking son of a bitch! I'm gonna skin him alive, Felicia. Do you think skinning a flexible rubber man alive is possible? Hahaha!" Peter laughed maniacally as tears flowed down his cheeks.

Felicia hugged Peter from behind and gently caressed his head to comfort 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 come 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 large appendages emerged from Peter's back.

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