As they were watching, a man stepped onto the track and revealed a suit with electrical whips. He even whipped a car in half!
Pepper shouted "Happy!" Happy said "Yup." as he got up and walked away. Viktor looked at the track and pursed his lips saying "Little bear, stay here, okay?" Emma's eyes widened and she said "You're going over there!?"
Natalie looked at Viktor in surprise and he smiled at Emma, saying "I AM a doctor, after all…" before following after Pepper with Kikoku on his shoulder, humming a song to himself.
Emma shouted "Viktor!" Viktor waved and turned his head, grinning with closed eyes "Did you forget? I'm invincible!" just before he disappeared.
Emma sat on the chair weakly and Natalie felt awe in her heart, comforting Emma as she said "Don't worry. Tony is on the track, I believe he'll be fine." Emma smiled at her and clenched her fists, saying "He better hope so."
Viktor sat in the front seat as Happy drove and said "Give me the case. Honestly, Pepper, I don't even know why you came." Pepper shouted at him angrily "ME!? You barged into MY car!"
Viktor looked at Happy and said "Is that what happened?" Happy looked forward and didn't answer, starting to sweat with a straight face. Pepper glared at Happy from the rearview mirror asking imposingly "He asked you a question, Happy! IS that what happened or not!?"
Happy looked at Viktor and said "Yes, that's what happened." Viktor looked at him, shocked and Happy sighed "Man, that's my boss…"
They arrived on the track and Happy smashed the whip man into the railing with the front of the car. Tony glared through the window "Were you trying to hit me?! 'Cus it really looked like it!"
Viktor got out of the car with the metal suitcase and threw it to Tony, saying "Hey, this guy is still alive, you know. Woah~!"
He slashed upwards and looked at the guy, grinning with a cigarette hanging on his lips, emitting smoke, "Buddy, I'm just a doctor." Kikoku blocked the electric whip and Viktor backed off, bouncing the whip up.
Tony suited up and said "No matter how many times I see it, I still don't understand." as he kicked the car aside, freeing the whip guy.
Viktor replied "Hey, hobbies man, hobbies." as he ran to the other racers, digging them out of the wrecks, bringing them together on the side as Tony fought the whip guy.
Viktor scanned them and took out his little kit pretending to do emergency surgery.
Well, not pretending, he was doing emergency surgery!
He was hiding his powers with the scalpel and stitches from the kit.
Unfortunately for the racers, they had to have permanent scars from where he cut because it would be too suspicious that they were completely fine on the outside after.
By the time Tony was done with the whip dude, Viktor finished stitching the last racer. There weren't that many to begin with.
Viktor saw the police and waved them down, saying in French "Here. Bring these guys to the hospital, I gave them emergency treatment but it's not enough." The police ran over and Viktor walked to the whip guy, placing his fingers on his neck and stomach.
Tony looked at him, asking "What are you doing?" Viktor frowned and replied, "Checking his injuries, what does it look like?" his frown grew as he noticed that this dude's injuries were really serious!
It was a miracle that he survived without treatment in the movie. Maybe they brought him to a hospital before locking him up? Little Vanko had severe internal bleeding in his liver, intestines, and stomach as well as 2 broken ribs, 3 fractures, and electrical burns!
Tony asked "I mean why are you checking him?" Viktor looked at Tony and said "He might be a crazy bad guy but he's still a person, did you forget I'm a doctor?" Tony was speechless but gave him a thumbs up, full of respect as he said "Amazing. You're a really great doctor!" before turning to Pepper and shouting "Which other Doctor do you see rushing into danger to treat the wounded?"
Viktor ignored him and looked at little Vanko, slapping his face lightly as he said "Hey! Hey! Can you hear me?" Vanko spat blood in his face and said in Russian "Fuck you!" Viktor wiped the blood from his face and replied in Russian "It's good that you're alive, but you should be keeping the blood in your body. At this rate, you're going to die very soon."
He chuckled and added "If you see a white light, don't go towards it. Unless you want to meet your dead relatives." Tony looked at him in surprise, saying "You speak Russian?" Viktor smiled, "It's good to communicate with peers around the world. I don't know how to speak Hindi and Icelandic but most other languages I have a rough understanding of. Mandarin, Italian, French, Russian, and German are my best… Well, other than English, of course."
After speaking, he turned to the Police next to him and said in French "We have to get him to a hospital. I can perform emergency surgery anywhere but a hospital is best." the police looked at each other before replying "You're a doctor?"
Viktor rolled his eyes and retorted "If not me, is it you?! Hurry up and get an ambulance!" The police quickly called the ambulance and it arrived 2 minutes later.
Viktor looked at Tony and said "Tell Emma I'm going with them. Meet me at the prison. I'm sure you have a lot to talk about." as he looked at the Arc Reactor in Tony's hands. Tony frowned and nodded, crushing the reactor before leaving.
Viktor boarded the Ambulance and communicated with the EMTs, informing them of his rough diagnosis. They frowned and started trying to keep Vanko alive.
Viktor sat next to Vanko on the way to the hospital, speaking to him in Russian "If you don't mind me asking, why whips?" Vanko looked at him coldly and snorted, turning back to stare at the ceiling.
Viktor chuckled to himself and just when he thought he was thinking wishfully, Vanko actually replied, "Longer range." Viktor continued curiously "But can't you install repulsors like Stark?"
Vanko chuckled and replied "Do you think I'm as rich as him? Plus, I like the whips, more control… and much more painful." Viktor chuckled and shook his head, replying "I think you're crazy." Vanko retorted "Who cares what you think?"
Viktor looked at him and said with a smile "Touche. But you should care because I'm saving your life. Going to prison with your wounds…" he clicked his tongue and said "Whether you drop the soap or drop yourself is still up in the air."
Vanko sneered and stopped speaking, Viktor didn't say anything else either.
They arrived at the hospital and Viktor walked in with Vanko's stretcher. The Doctors walked over quickly and said to Viktor "Thanks for your help. You are?" one of the doctors said "It's him! The Angel in Hell from the magazines!"
The doctor that recognized him, shook Viktor's hand enthusiastically, saying "Doctor Gardens! Pleasure to meet you!" Viktor smiled and replied to them in fluent French "I'd love to chat, but he is in a critical condition. You gentlemen don't mind me helping, do you?"
The doctor in charge happened to be the one that recognized him and he said instantly "Not a problem at all!" Viktor smiled and turned serious saying "I need scrubs, a sanitized operating room, and surgical tools! Hurry up!"
The Doctors started scrambling and Viktor went into the Operating room, putting Vanko under before opening him up.
A while later
Viktor walked out of the room and took off his gloves and mask, washing his hands as he let out a breath.
A doctor walked out of the room and said to Viktor, "Amazing! It's like you can see inside his body! You really live up to your reputation!" Viktor smiled humbly, "It's just practice." The doctor shook his head and grabbed Viktor's hand saying emotionally "It's called talent, Doctor Gardens. You are the best Doctor I've ever seen!"
Viktor blushed slightly and replied "You're joking." the Doctor laughed and shook his head again, handing Viktor his sword, adding "A very nice piece. I happen to have a family heirloom myself. Perhaps, I can treat you to dinner?"
Viktor smiled apologetically as he replied "Unfortunately, I have plans tonight with my wife. If you're ever in New York, give me a call." as he wrote down his personal cell number, handing it to the doctor, who took it and smiled happily, nodding as he replied "For sure!"
Viktor smiled and excused himself, leaving with the police as Vanko was taken into custody.
Viktor rode with the police and chatted with them as Vanko woke up in chains.
[Congratulations for treating Ivan Vanko (Whiplash)- 1 Lottery Ticket]
Viktor got off at the prison and saw Tony, Emma, and the rest waiting there.
He smiled and walked over, but before he could get far, Emma rushed over and hugged him tightly. Viktor chuckled and rubbed her back, smiling "Miss me?" Emma let go and slapped him, saying angrily "Don't you ever do that again!"
Viktor rubbed his cheek with a wry smile but Emma smiled lovingly "But… You were very amazing. I'm proud of you." Viktor choked up and looked at her with intense emotions, she kissed him deeply and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Suddenly, the 2 heard a cough and separated.
Emma smiled sweetly and hugged Viktor's arm. Tony and the rest looked at Viktor with strange smiles. Tony patted his chest and didn't say anything but walked into the Prison after Vanko.
Pepper looked at Emma and teased "In broad daylight~!" Natalie looked at Viktor and smiled, saying sincerely "Very heroic of you, Doctor! I'm impressed! Didn't expect Mr. Stark to keep such company."
Happy just looked at Emma and Viktor before giving him a huge thumbs up.
Where was his girlfriend though?
Thinking of this, Happy sighed sadly…
