Chapter 54: Think outside the box

Superman and Ultron arrived in a big factory, with hundreds of Ultron robots working hard to to smelt iron i a big bucket. The bucket was, big, about 10-15 m³

"This is for safety measures, you see, as soon as you arrived I had to make plans on how I should handle you. So I brought almost all known Vibranium and adamantium to create a Super prison." Ultron said.

"Is that all of it?" Superman couldn't help but ask.

"Outside of Wakanda, Yes." Ultron said.

This information made Superman feel a hint of relief, this meant that Ultron hadn't reached inside of Wakanda.

"It's 18 me of molten Vibranium and a bit of adamantium, all yours to swim in." Ultron said as he motioned superman to dive in.

Superman looked at his shackles, and remembered that he had a magic ring that DR strange gave him. This gave him a perfect idea.

Superman jumped into the liquid vibranium, and when he reached the center of the big bucket, all the metallic bodies of Ultron stopped heating the metal, allowing it to cool down. They all just stood there until the metal had become a solid.

Superman felt that the liquid wasn't as fluid as it looked, it felt like he was in a honey hot tub.

And as soon as the robots stopped heating the vibranium, he felt it harden. It took maybe 15 minutes for all the vibranium to harden to a solid.

Ultron just looked at the gigantic cube made of vibranium, and felt that even superman couldn't escape from this.

Superman waited until there was only a few robots lefts to stand guard.

Using hia x-ray vision he saw that three robots were just standing like statues in different corners, keeping watch of the place.

Had he it known better he would have thought that they were out of batteries, or fakes just standing there collecting dust.

'Hmm.. about now should do it' Superman thought.

He couldn't escape because then Ultron would start killing civilians.

But what if... the avengers kidnapped him from his vibranium prison without him doing anything, or having any part of it?

Dr. Strange felt it, the ring he had given Superman was calling for him. He went out to an open place and opened a portal the location of Superman.

A strange look took form on Dr. Strange's face as looked around the factory he had arrived in.

Right in the middle was a block of metal, the size of a house, and surrounding it were a few robots.

'Where is he?' Dr. strange wondered as he used a spell to incapacitate the robots.

Then he felt the signal of the ring coming from the block of metal. Walking up to it, he realised what was going on as he touched the metal with his bare hand.

Superman used his Super senses to keep watch over his surroundings and knew exactly what was going on.

He saw that another, bigger portal opened up beneath the block of metal, as he fell thought it landing on Kamar-taj.

After arriving at their headquarters, Dr. Strange was confused about how he was going to get Superman out of his metallic embryo.

"Vibranium!" Bruce Banner spoke as he arrived with the others.

"Vibranium, are you sure?" Dr. strange asked with a confused tone.

"Positive, where did you find this block of vibranium?" Bruce asked as he felt up the big, house sized block of vibranium.

"It's a prison, Ultron made, for our Super friend." Dr. Strange explained as he was putting things together.

"Superman?" Bruce said in realization as he felt up the block.

"How do we get him out" Red widow said, worried about her brother.

"That's.... Nigh Impossible, I don't know what Ultron used to melt all this vibranium, but we don't have anything that can melt vibranium at this size. And to break it..." Bruce said as he suddenly stopped mid sentece, looking as if he was counting something.

"We would need a force that is enough to bombard about three times the size of our galaxy." Reed said before Bruce could calculate it.

"I was just about to say that!" Bruce protested.

"But where can we find something that has that kind of force behind it?" Dr. strange asked, trying to come up with a plan to free superman from the vibranium block. He felt like a kid, that couldn't get his toy out of his kinder egg.

Suddenly, everyone looked towards the vibranium block, as they realised that the person inside of it could probably produce the force needed to get out.

"But.. wouldn't we be in danger if he did that?" Red Widow asked as she realised what would happen if her brother forced himself out of the vibranium block.

"... If I put him in.. a dimension, then only that dimension will break, probably." Dr. Strange said.

"Are you sure?" Black widow said, still unsure about their plan.

"Well.. we could put him in a dimension, inside s dimension that is inside another? Just for safety purposes." Dr. Strange said, slightly nervous about the word he had heard come out of Superman's mouth.

"About that... I think... I destroyed a bit more than one" Superman had said as he explained how he destroyed universes and dimensions with enough force to create a big bang. Just the words alone gave Dr. Strange shivers.

"How do we tell our Big Banger about the plan?" Sue asked.

"That's fine, he probably heard everything, his hearing is good." Red Widow said.

As if the block of vibranium had heard and understood her, it rose from the ground and floated as a block of metal usually does not.

"Well this makes it easier, however the plan still need time to execute, we can't use real universes as we would anger even more beings, that's why I need to create my own mirror dimensions." Dr. Strange said tiredly as he would have to do something annoyingly difficult.

"IS HE REALLY ALIVE?!" Suddenly a shout came from an opening portal, as Spiderman walked through it followed by a magician.

Spiderman wore a ripped black and gold Spiderman suit, without his mask.

Peters face looked slightly worried and stressed.

"Pete!" Black widow said happily at seeing him.

"Elena, is he really alive, where is he?" Spiderman said as he walked towards her.

"He's inside that block of vibranium, we'll have to get him out." Johnny explained.

Spiderman looked at the block in happiness, filling in for Superman had really made everyone realise the size of the shoes they had to fill.

Spiderman looked towards Elena in happiness, that she had gotten her brother, his idol back. As he looked towards her, his face fell.

His face turned towards the block again, as Elena ran towards him, as if she was about to hug him.

Spiderman stopped her from hugging him. Seeing her face, then looking towards the block again, then at her face, then the block again, his own face got pale.

He looked as if he had realised that he had done something very, very bad.

"I think I need to get back to ehrm... saving the world, and things like that... Sorry I can't stay. Say hello to brother in law, no I mean, say hello to Superman for me..." He said as he turned around and jumped out of the portal that was closing.

"What just happened?" Elena asked in confusion, as she saw Peter acting very afraid and coy.

"He always behaved like a lost puppy in Superman's presence." Bruce Banner explained.

"But he seemed worse today, what's going on? Black widow asked.

"Wait... does your brother know you're dating Peter?" Bruce asked in realization"

Suddenly the block of vibranium started shaking, ready to erupt.

This time it was Dr. Strange and everyone else that lost the colour on their faces.

"SUPERMAN CALM DOWN, YOU'LL BIG GANG BANG US ALL!!!" Johnny shouted in worry.

"Phrasing!" Reed said in annoyance.
