[Trask Industries HQ]

Finished pouring the finely aged scotch into the two glass atop his desk, Bolivar Trask recapped the bottle he kept it in.

He then placed it back in his desk draw where he kept it.

After he did Trask took one of the glasses for himself, then moved the other over to the man sitting opposite of him.

One senator Robert Kelly.

A smile on his face senator Kelly picked up the glass and took a sip from it. "Ah, this taste wonderful. Thank you Dr. Trask." He spoke.

"You're welcome." Trask replied. "But really senator Kelly, it is I who should be thanking you." He said. "Given all you are doing to aid me in getting the Sentinel Program truly off the ground."

Because for years Bolivar Trask had been trying to get the government to fund one of his projects, which he truly believed would change the world.

A group of highly adaptive robots, whose name would be Sentinels.

Their purpose, to protect ordinary citizens from violent Mutants.

Or EVO's as the world was starting to call them.

Even so that didn't change the original purpose Trask had designed the Sentinels to fulfill.

Yet no matter how many times he tried the government always turned him down.

That is until about a year ago when Trask was contacted personally by Kelly.

A man he had met on several occasions before, but never really interacted with in depth.

Though in the past year that had changed.

Along with the very nature of their relationship.

Now the two men were close acquaintances.

Some people might even call them friends.

They now met regularly, where they discussed many topics.

But first and foremost were their combined efforts to have the Sentinel Program become government sponsored.

Kelly having begun using his influence and contacts to make it happen.

While Trask just mostly kept focusing on what he was good at in the partnership, the science.

With that the two men were on a roll.

"Please Dr. Trask, I think we know each other well enough now for you to call me Robert." Kelly spoke.

"Alright then, Robert. But if that is the case then please, call me Bolivar?" Trask replied.

"Sure thing." Kelly said. He then raised his glass in Trask direction. "Now, let us toast, to our future success."

"Future success indeed." Trask replied.

The two men then clinked their glasses lightly together and then drank from them.

Having no idea their continued actions were bringing them closer to meeting death face to face.

---------------------

A smile on her face Selene could barely hold down her excitement.

For the time to meet Victor Von Doom had almost arrived.

After waiting for so long she could finally meet the man who had caught her eye.

Now that he had ripened enough.

Actually more than enough.

Selene was all ready to pluck him and eat him up.

Licking her lips in a sensual manner, she rubbed her legs together.

Imagining the time when she had Doom in her grasp.

"Oh Doom, I hope you're ready for me." Selene said. "Because I am more than ready for you." She sensually moaned out.

Selene putting a sadistic and savage grin on her face afterwards.

[Unknown Location]

In one of their many secret facilities Alexander Pierce sat around a table, with the other highest ranking members of HYDRA.

His fellow World Security Council member, Gideon Malick.

Daniel Whitehall.

Air Force general Hale.

Then finally the youngest members of their little group, Ophelia Sarkissian. Who goes by the codename Madam Hydra.

"So Pierce, care to tell us why you called this impromptu meeting?" Hale asked.

Since it was Pierce who called them altogether.

"Yes, I must agree with general Hale. Either explain to us why you have called this meeting or I will take my leave." Whitehall spoke up.

"Settle down, I was just about to." Pierce spoke. "My friends and colleagues I have called you all here today to discuss a mutual threat to HYDRA itself. Victor Von Doom, and his country Latveria."

Hearing this all members of the meeting got negative and irritated expressions on their faces.

For just like Pierce they saw Doom and Latveria as a threat.

More so in the past year and half.

Given all the big waves he was making.

"Ugh, that man." The madam spoke. "Do you know no matter how many people I send to take him out they never return. His security is just that good. Maybe he is even aware of us."

"Even if he is it matters not." Whitehall spoke. "After all, who would believe the king of a small European nation over most of us?"

"A king who is married to one of the worlds foremost superheroes and female scientific minds, Susan Storm." Gideon pointed out. "And again, given all he is doing if he decided to tell the world about us, if he knows of our existence, his world's simply won't be dismissed."

"That is the exact scenario I have called you all here today to discuss how to prevent." Pierce said. "So let's get to it. For the glory of HYDRA."

"For the glory of HYDRA." The other members in the room echoed in unison.

They then began a civilized discussion of how to get rid of Victor.

The dumb bastards truly having no idea how futile their actions were.
