Chapter 34"Adapting to Surroundings Part One"

Chapter Four "Adapting to Surroundings Part One"

"You know, I might not have taken that job if I knew that the Hand was involved, along with the League of Shadows, and you and…..well I learned a lesson about ninja swords," Felicia commented as thankfully Harry was able to heal up her wounds. She could see his questioning gaze locked onto her face so she decided to beat him to the punch. "I wish I knew who hired me, but she….well she seemed insistent that I get to the amulet before they did."

"So, it was one of those sight unseen transactions," Harry offered as Felicia sat there, still in her costume and the blonde's hair hung limply down to her shoulders.

"Yes, pretty much," she agreed as her shoulders slumped down and the girl shook her head. "It was….well you know I was not in the best of positions to disagree. She was persistent and when I heard that the amulet was something that could be valuable….well it's been a long time."

"I know, everyone has to have a hobby," Harry commented. He was not all too fussed about Felicia making the lives of rich old douchebags a bit too inconvenient. In fact, he was going to encourage that endeavor.

"So you have the amulet?" Felicia asked him as he smiled at her.

"Come on, Felicia, anyone with a few brain cells could figure out the answer to that question," Harry teased her and the thief shook her head, looking entirely amused.

"Right, I should be….I should know that," she offered as her cheeks flushed for a moment and Harry leaned forward to plant a slight kiss on the side of them. "So…."

"I think that now that you're here, we need to figure out what to do with you," Betsy commented with a naughty grin on her face. She had been sitting in the sidelines for all of this time and Harry wondered when she was going to speak.

"Yes, that is something, Miss Hardy has been very naughty, her hand has been caught in the cookie jar, and she'll….she'll need to be punished," Harry told the girl and his voice had a certain tone to it where it caused Felicia to swallow.

"Harry I….."

She then caught on and smiled, it had been a bit since she had indulged herself in Harry. Granted, that was more her fault than anything else, she had been bouncing all over the world. Sure, he could have fired off a dupe but it was hard for them to slip away when she was away on business and thus could not have any fun herself.

So that was more of a problem on her.

"Sure, Harry," Felicia commented, licking her lips as she was on her feet. "What do you have in…."

Harry cut her off with a rough kiss and Felicia enjoyed that. She enjoyed when Harry dominated her, it turned her on. Her nails sank into the side of his neck as Harry had her pinned down against the edge of the bed and his hands roamed her body, exploring every single inch of it, which felt good underneath the tight suit that she was wearing.

Felicia's eyes flickered shut as a moan escaped her lips and Harry continued to pleasure her body with his hands, working over every last inch of her. There was a heat that rose from between her legs that got stronger and Betsy locked eyes with Harry hungrily as she got on her hands and knees, encouraging Harry by swaying her ass back and forth.

Harry's kisses got even more intense as Felicia melted underneath them. Her eyes were shut as she breathed in and breathed out heavily. His strong hands worked her over and she knew that things were about to be punched up to an entirely new level.

Felicia's eyes widened as Harry kissed her really hard. His mouth worked onto hers and she was losing herself to his motions. The blonde pushed her curves into his body and he squeezed them, exploring every last inch of her body.

The blonde's explosion of sensations could be felt as the suit was pushed down her body. He roughly handled her curves, squeezing her breasts and rubbing her pussy. She closed her eyes as felt the rush of the amazing exploration of Harry's hands. His fingers brushed over her clit and caused her to whimper in pleasure.

Felicia panted as Harry shoved a finger deep into her core, then a second one, followed by a third one.

Betsy watched, she watched as she pushed her fingers into her dripping hot pussy. The woman's eyes closed as she threw her head back and breathed as she started to rub her clit. The young British telepath was getting excited.

"Suck," Harry commanded and his penis was inches away from Felicia's mouth. The blonde pushed her lips around his member and did as she was told, she was sucking on him.

Her moist lips wrapped around his throbbing tool as she forced it between her lips. His head lowered down onto her pussy.

'Fuck yes,' Felicia thought to herself and Harry used his tongue to manipulate her dripping hot center and panted as he went to work on her. His licks got more intense and more prominent, rotating into her smoldering hot cunt.

Harry slurped into her dripping hot. The woman's dripping hot cunt was really working over and she sucked his cock.

His hands gripped around the side of her face and he started to pump towards her face. The woman's eyes widened as Harry was about to unload his thick essence down her throat. Her eyes closed shut as her lips wrapped tightly around his member.

A huge thrust brought his balls down across her chin and Felicia slurped it, working him over. She felt his cumming, coming.

His balls unloaded and Harry spilled a load of his seed down her throat.

Felicia threw her head back and gave a moaned. She pushed herself up but Harry grabbed her ass.

"On your hands and knees," Harry commanded her and Felicia closed her eyes, she was getting completely excited. She wiggled her tight ass.

"Come and get it then, lover," Felicia moaned as she prepared her ass for insertion. His hand groped her ass and she moaned in pleasure.

Harry hovered over her ass and teased inserting into her.

"Betsy, let her take care of you, darling," Harry breathed as he cupped the woman's breasts and she panted.

Harry inserted his hard cock between her thighs and pushed all the way into her dripping hot cunt. There was a loud moan as Harry ran his hands all over her body. The woman's snatch hugged him.

"Such a good pussy," Harry grunted as he hammered her tightening cunt and Betsy forced Felicia's face into her pussy.

Betsy reared her head back, offering a whimpering moan as the telepath started to eat her cunt out. There was a loud and deep moan and she escalated her efforts to another level.

After a few minutes of working over Felicia's pussy, Harry switched the play and inserted his huge member into her ass.

"FUCK!" Felicia yelled but Betsy scissored her legs around her head and forced her mouth to munch on her dripping hot pussy.

Betsy was enjoying the sensations that exploded through her body and she was not the only one that enjoyed everything.

Felicia's ass clenched around his throbbing hard tool and Harry pulled all the way back and plunged himself as far back into her anal cavity as he could.

"I think you're going to learn your lesson, aren't you, you dirty girl?" Harry asked as he hammered into her.

His cock slammed into her at super sonic speed. He stretched out her ass, making her feel the pleasure. Even though she had heightened stamina compared to a normal woman, Felicia was really feeling the burn. His hands roamed over Felicia's body and she whimpered, closing her eyes and she was about ready to encourage his cum.

Harry grunted as his balls tightened and he spilled his load.

Felicia saw white spots within her eyes. Her mind exploded with the pleasure as Harry's loins exploded in her. She whimpered, feeling the pleasure of his thick hard tool sliding in and out of her. The woman's anal walls clamped his tight ass.

Betsy was now over Felicia's ass no sooner than Harry pulled out. She attacked her delightful rump with all of the intensity and hunger. Her tongue scraped against her ass and kept licking her. She was going to slurp all of the cum that she could take.

"Oh, that's so fucking hot," Harry groaned as he watched Betsy feast upon his cum out of Felicia's ass.

"Yes, it is," Felicia whimpered as she arched her ass up and allowed Betsy to really feast upon it.

"FUCK!" Harry groaned as he slid himself into Betsy's nice pussy.

The lovely walls of the British Ninja clenched around him. The slick velvety surface of her felt like heaven and he was going to indulge himself in a nice little slice of what was to come. His balls slapped against her thighs as he pushed into her.

'That's it Harry,' Betsy whimpered as she chewed on her lip. He was making her feel so good, stretching her out.

His throbbing length slammed into her blazing hot cavern and there was an intense explosion of sensations that rocked her body.

He groped her nice tits and ran his cock all the way out of her and pushed it even further into her. He was exploring her insides with his male tool and feeling the love and the energy that she could.

She channeled her telekinesis towards her pussy and clamped around him even tighter as he rammed into her.

'Oh yes, I bet you like that, baby,' Betsy mentally breathed as she was too busy with Felicia's pussy and ass to speak out loud.

Harry moans spoke to him and he pulled halfway out of him and slammed into her dripping hot pussy. The woman's walls tightened around him and Harry pushed all the way into her. She breathed as Harry's hand cupped her nice breasts and he worked further into her.

The sound of flesh upon flesh seared as Betsy's mind was introduced to a lot of new sensations although she threw a few sensations into his mind. Their meeting increased in intensity and he worked his throbbing tool between her thighs.

'Fuck,' Harry thought to himself as he worked his hands all over her nice breasts and kept working into her.

Felicia moaned as Betsy's mouth slurped her juices from it. She was looking up and she saw Harry hammering her tight cavern with his thick tool.

This got her all worked up, she wanted him to be inside her once again and her tightening quim worked him out.

Betsy moaned as Harry worked her into the home stretch.

"Can you hold out?" Harry whispered hotly in her ear as he placed his hands upon her breasts and squeezed them.

The British Ninja drew her tight hot cunt around him in response and he pulled nearly all the way out of her and slammed back into her. The walls tightened around him and Betsy's hot snatch wrapped around him.

Harry jackhammered her pussy from behind as he pulled all the way out of her, pushed his head against her hot slit, and worked into her from behind. The walls tightened around him and his throbbing tool snugly tightened around him.

He was getting into the latest home stretch but he was trying to hold out for as long as he could. His throbbing member pushed into her all the way and his balls tightened and then with another fluid push, he unleashed his white hot cum.

Betsy mewled as Harry pumped her pussy full of his seed. Several spurts of white hot goodness filled her waiting womb up and she moaned as she felt his cum fill her body. Such a powerful seed injecting into her body was a feeling that was amazing.

Felicia's pussy burst and the dam of cum exploded and Betsy slurped it up, hungrily feasting from the blonde's pussy like it was no one's business. Her mouth drank every last drop from her dripping wet quim and the three opted for a different position.

The heated threesome added an entirely new level of amazement.

"I think that I've improved a lot," Lorna offered with a smile as she tried to fish for Harry's…..well approval would be the right word.

He looked at the mutant and there was a second where he paused and then he nodded his head. "You have done well Lorna, you might be better than your father."

At the one hand, Lorna was kind of uncomfortable talking about Magneto but on the other hand, he was still her father. And there was a question that had been burning on the tip of her tongue, that she had been savvy enough to not to mention when Wanda was in an ear shot given the girl's own negative opinion on the Master of Magnetism.

"Yeah, my father about that…."

"You want to know if he's turned up anywhere, don't you?" Harry asked Lorna and the green haired mutant nodded as she took a step towards Harry.

"Well, it's just….I think he's one of those people that we would feel better if we knew whether he was out there or not," Lorna commented as she shook her head. She was trying not to sound too desperate. Her mother….well her treatments were going rather well thanks to Harry. There was still a lot of hope that she would make a turn around for the better.

"I know, Wanda said the same thing, funnily enough," Harry offered and it really was annoying the piss out of Wanda that her father had been missing since the Skrull incident.

Of course, the reasons about that were many. Wanda had mostly made peace with what her father done, although with something like that, putting them in the same room would never in fact be good.

"So what do you think?" Lorna asked. She valued Harry's input greatly after all and she valued other things about him greatly as well.

"There was no body," Harry informed her and Lorna's eyes widened.

"So if there is no body, that means he could still be out there somewhere," Lorna whispered and Harry grabbed her hand, holding it.

She flushed at the contact and even more so that Harry pulled her into a hug, holding the green haired mutant against him.

Lorna wondered what it would be like to further explore some contact with Harry. She had….accidentally watched him and Wanda in the act a couple of weeks ago. She did not mean to but she could just not turn her eyes away. And her dreams about Harry had been even more vivid as she imagined herself in Wanda's place, doing the things that Harry did to Wanda.

Speaking of Wanda, she turned up at that moment. Harry pulled himself away from Wanda and threw his arms around her, giving her a deep and passionate kiss, their tongues practically molded together as they tried to outdo each other.

Lorna watched, things were getting really heated, to the point where she was rather distracted by what was happening.

"Hello, Lorna," Wanda commented as she grabbed her younger sister into a tight hug and Lorna blushed, because of the tight contact of her older sister. Her and Harry were both excellent physical specimens and this caused her to tingle with excitement.

"I'll let you two ladies catch up with each other," Harry commented with a smile on his face as he slid off in the opposite direction.

He did not have to walk more than four steps before he ran into an extremely attractive female and ran into was the case as he almost bumped head long into Zatanna.

The young magician stood there, with her bright blue eyes staring adoringly at Harry and her curtain of black hair framing her face. She was wearing a tight white top that strained around her sixteen year old breasts and rode up a little bit, showing her taut stomach. She was currently wearing a pair of tight black shorts that fit snugly around her hips.

"Hi Harry," Zatanna said to him as she threw her arms around him and pulled him into a tight hug. She was shamelessly pressing her body against his.

"Hey, Zee, what can I do for you?" Harry asked her as she briefly buried her face into his chest but pulled back with a smile.

'Oh many things, believe me,' Zatanna thought, momentarily forgetting that Harry was a telepath.

"Well, I want to thank you for our private tutoring session last week," Zatanna said and Harry smiled at her and waved off her compliments.

"Was not a big problem at all, you're doing well," Harry told her and the young witch smiled back at him, grabbing onto his hand with hers.

"Well, your confidence is something that I appreciate, believe me," she whispered in his ear and Harry once again shifted, closing his eyes tightly as he felt her hot breath up against the back of his ear.

"We should get together this weekend once again, just to run through what you've learned again," Harry told her.

She smiled back at him. "We could go over some more intimate things as well, couldn't we?"

"If you insist," Harry told her, deciding to play hard to get with her, at least at the moment. It would make the moment where he got her all alone to be that much more exciting.

Zatanna wanted a piece of Harry for an extremely long time, in fact, she could already taste it and there was more than enough Harry to go around. She was just working up the nerve and hoped that she would….well she hoped that she would work up the nerve and she was so close that she could almost taste what was happening.

"Looking forward to it," Zatanna commented as she got on her tip toes and kissed Harry on the cheek.

She then slipped off really quickly, it was almost by magic with how quickly she slipped off but never the less, she disappeared into the night.

Harry lifted himself on his toes as he decided to go to the next person. He saw Kitty, Rogue, and Kara hanging out.

The three girls greeted him quite excitedly. Rogue threw her arms around Harry first and she pressed her lips onto his with a burning kiss. The two of them locked eyes with each other as she grinded her hot center down his crotch.

"Hey, it's my turn," Kitty commented with a cute little pout as she tried to pull Rogue away but Rogue was taking her time in indulging herself in Harry. Her tongue pushed between his lips as she went to work on him.

Finally Kitty got her turn and she practically jumped into Harry's arms. She bit down on his lip and then shoved her tongue halfway down his throat. She went down him, wrapping her legs around him as he had to sit down on the bench.

Kara calmly checked her watch and waited for Kitty to finish.

'Yes, take your sweet time Pryde, you got to breath sometime,' Kara thought to herself in amusement as the blonde prepared to chuckle.

Then the moment that Kitty was done, Kara grabbed Harry and kissed him fiercely. The two of them indulged in each other.

Rogue turned to Kitty. "You know, the two of them could likely keep that up for a long time, we should have brought a lunch."

Kitty did not answer rather she was transfixed on what Harry and Kara were doing, it was so fucking hot, that she could hardly breathe. She watched these two powerful Kryptonians swap spit with each other and there was a few seconds where the two of them broke apart with each other.

"So, how is ESU?" Harry asked Kara. She actually got out early from classes, having none on Friday afternoon so she was able to come home for lunch. Kitty and Rogue had about the same schedule.

"It's interesting," Kara offered him as she smiled. "A lot of great classes, Doctor Sandsmark's is my favorite."

"Thankfully we don't have the kook Professor McElroy," Rogue stated as she shook her head.

The name did ring a bell for sure with Harry. "Wasn't he the guy who got turfed from Yale because….he got a head injury and believed that he was King Tut?"

"Yeah, he went on a crime spree in Gotham," Kitty commented, she had been researching Batman as part of a school project and had been delving into some of the more colorful members of his rogue's gallery. "He….was sent to the asylum….not Arkham….because I think he actually got better."

"Still pretty weird though," Rogue offered.

Donna made her way home from her last period class, stumbling in. She was hanging out at the Stronghold.

"I didn't want Diana to be there, I swear I ran into her half a million times, and….I thought Artemis was a slave driver!" Donna raged as she stormed in.

Kara raised an eyebrow and commented in a sweet, innocent voice. "Lots of homework, Donna?"

Donna folded her arms together. "Well, what do you think?"

"Welcome to college, hope you survive the experience," Kitty commented with a smile on her face but that did not improve Donna's mood.

"Ah, you'll adapt, just means you're going to have to work harder," Harry offered as he threw his arms around Donna and pulled her into a tight hug. The dark haired Amazon Princess practically melted into his arms and sighed, although she smiled in spite herself.

It was hard to stay made in Harry's tight embrace.

"Sounds like you need a bit of stress relief," Kara commented with a mischievous grin on her face.

"Might happen, yes," Donna commented as she pulled away. If she got a start on this mountain of homework now, she might be done about three years from now or so.

The biggest provision that she would get to come to Man's World was that she would keep up on her studies and excel at them. Which meant no slacking off, and Donna Troy was not stupid by any means but she did tend to slip off and neglect her studies, which normally got her a lecture from her sister or her mother or both of them.

"Don't worry, Donna, things are looking up, have faith," Harry told her and he planted a kiss on her lips which caused her mind to engage into total shut down mode. The dark haired princess stammered, stared, stuttered, and twitched, finding it hard to believe that he could do something so brazen as that but never the less, he pulled away from her.

Donna's skin kind of shivered, she wondered how much more he could do to her.

She wanted him to do so much more to her.

Harry had many more rounds to do but he had another text from Rose, assuring him that they were still on for tomorrow night. Harry smiled and confirmed with her. He was quite interested in seeing what she was going to have to say.

He went into the next room where he got an image of Carol, who looked a quite bit frazzled.

"I take it this isn't a social call," Harry told the blonde and she shook her head.

"No it isn't," Carol offered to him. She started to explain the situation to Harry.

When there was trouble, well there was no need to fear, Lois Lane was here or something along those lines really. Never the less, Lois had managed to get a bird's eye view of the situation.

Given that Peter Parker was likely getting pictures, pictures of Spider-Man, for J. Jonah Jameson, Lois had to settle for other help. While she could take photos herself, it was not necessarily her strong suit but she had brought along a fresh eared rookie to do so.

Okay it was hard to classify someone as a rookie that had been there for almost eighteen months but still, it counted in Lois's mind.

"Look alive there, Jenny," Lois whispered to the girl. Her brother was a hotshot photographer for a major newspaper halfway across the country, so she had some big shoes to fill.

Jenny Olsen struggled as the most that she ever photographed was pet shows or grand openers. Peter Parker had handled most of the chaotic battles, mostly because J. Jonah Jameson wanted pictures, pictures of Spider-Man and good ones at that.

The Avengers were all there. She saw Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America leading the charge. They were followed by Black Widow, Wasp, She Hulk, and Ms. Marvel. The Hulk was thrown out of the picture just when she arrived here but she suspected that the Hulk would return and do what the Hulk did in a matter of moments.

The Hulk smashing into the ground and causing a vibration proved her right.

"Alright, where is it?" Hulk demanded as he turned his head over to look around to look for it.

"I think the better question is, what is it?" Wasp asked as she turned around. She thought that they were foiling a standard crime but this thing kicked their asses the first time they went up against it.

"Good evening, Avengers, I've finally see you have met your match," the voice of Phineas Mason, better known as the Terrible Tinkerer cackled as he laughed madly.

"The Tinkerer, of course," Iron Man stated as he shook his head. This guy was nuttier than a fruit cake and twice as loathed.

"One of Spider-Man's D List Enemies," She Hulk commented as she cracked her knuckles and prepared herself for battle.

The Tinkerer was outraged. "D List, HOW DARE YOU!"

"I think we pissed him off," Iron Man commented as he waited for the robot to return.

Lois watched in intrigued, she had come late to the party, and she had no idea what the Avengers were having trouble with. They had fought gods, armies, and alien invaders, so surely something that some crackpot mad scientist cooked up in his lab in his mother's basement couldn't be any threat at all with the Avengers?

"Jenny, get photos of this kid, this could be one to watch," Lois commented to the younger girl who nodded.

She saw the robot and it was about the ugliest thing that she ever saw. It had a sallow green skin and little bug eyes that glowed a sinister red. All robots must have had glowing red eyes and it had spikes all over its body.

"Don't underestimate it again, Avengers Assemble!" Captain America bellowed as he went at the enemy but a hard light shield popped up.

Captain America's foot hit the shield with a clang but Hulk grabbed it from behind. The robot expanded twice to its mass and then nailed the Hulk.

"Oh you think that you're so tough!" Hulk growled as he tore the light post out of the ground. Sparks flew everywhere and smacked the robot hard with it.

"And the Hulk hits Number Seventy!" Tony cheered from behind his suit as the robot flew away and smashed into the light post.

"Got this one!" Carol yelled as she jumped up, flying. Her hair whipped in the wind and her fist was extended. She made impact and nailed the robot.

Captain America was on once again and he flung his shield. It flew like a discus and knocked the legs out from underneath the robot. It went flying hard.

"No, no, this wasn't supposed to happen!" Tinkerer yelled at the top of his lungs.

"You, need to be silent, for we are thrashing your metal menace!' Thor yelled as he brought down the boom on the robot. The huge hammer crushed the skull of this robotic creature.

"Really, thought this would be a bit harder," Jan stated as she flew inside the robot that had been busted open and messed with a few wires. She was pretty sure that pulling these wires would cause the robot to screw up something really fierce but she was not completely sure. She would have to find out pretty soon as the sparks started to fly from the robot.

Jan rolled back, her hands sore from her work but a smile crossed her face. She enjoyed that the effort she put in was appreciated.

She Hulk decided to put her contribution. She rushed forward and smashed the fire hydrant. Water spurted out and the robot was standing in the midst of the water.

"Natasha, you know what to do!" Jen yelled.

Natasha engaged the Widow's bite and needless to say, five thousand volts of electricity spelled the doom for the robot, as it caused it to burn out into a dried out husk.

"Well, that was fun, so who's up for….."

"Careful, Tony," Captain America stated as he looked around. It could have been instincts that were hardened by years of war but that was almost too easy.

"You Avengers might have defeated the prototype but now, I present to you, the new and improved SUPER ADAPTOID!" the Tinkerer commented.

"Wait, wait, whoa, your response to us beating your robot, is to build another robot?" Jan asked as she shook her head. She sighed. "You know, I've heard about if at first you don't succeed then try again but don't you think that's a tad…stupid."

"We'll see who's stupid, Wasp," the Tinkerer offered as a robot jumped down, it was the second verse, pretty much the same as the verse. "Adaptoid, annihilate the Avengers!"

This new Super Adaptoid turned off and had a stand off with the Avengers.

"So, smash this one too," Hulk grunted as he rushed forward and extended his fist. All five knuckles cracked into the front of the suit but he slid back. Hulk slid him back a few more steps and the Adaptoid grew each time the Hulk struck him.

The Adaptoid was now twice the size of the Hulk.

"Think that's going to scare me!" Hulk yelled as he picked up a car and swung it at the Adaptoid but it smashed the car and then grabbed the Hulk.

The Hulk fought as he was hurled halfway across the country, landing in somewhere in Venice Beach, California.

Captain America sliced the legs out from underneath the Super Adaptoid. It might be big, but he had fought men twice his size before and this was not a man, it was a machine. He was confident that there was no machine on earth that could adapt as much as a man.

"Wasp, go low, Ms. Marvel, go high, Thor, Iron Man, take him from the sides!" Captain America yelled.

Lois watched the battle, it was hard to keep her eyes on everything. From her vantage point, the Avengers were hovering around this Super Adaptoid like a group of annoying gnats.

She watched as Thor dented the armor. Another dent of the armor and Lois could almost sense that the robot was allowing Thor to get his licks in so he could study his weaknesses.

Thor was flicked off to the side into the harbor, crashing through a billboard with J. Jonah Jameson's face on it and then through a billboard advertising the new talk show "Good Loving with Lovegood" before he landed in the harbor.

The battle continued as the Avengers put an extremely valiant effort, in fact far greater than the Tinkerer thought.

"Mix it up, it's learning our moves!" Captain America yelled as he threw two detached hubcaps but the laser array cut through them.

Iron Man launched a few missiles at the Super Adaptoid but a shield appeared around the robot and the missiles bounced off.

"Oh you've got to be kidding me, what's with villains and shields, was there some kind of two for one sale?" Jan asked.

"Thank god it wasn't humming," Carol commented as she smashed her fist into the groin area of the robot. Not that it could do much damage but the intention was there as her arm went up once again and sliced into the abdomen area.

It repaired any damage that she caused and it knocked the Avengers away.

"Well that went well," Iron Man commented, but his systems were still intact. "JARVIS, see if you can lock onto where the relay signal for this thing is coming for."

"There are about eighteen different signals coming from different parts of the state and New Jersey, which one are you referring to, sir?" JARVIS asked him.

"Great, either he has eighteen of these things or he's masking the signal, somehow," Iron Man managed as he tried to sit up but he failed at that.

"Once again!" Captain America yelled as the Adaptoid was now back to a normal size.

Captain America made a mental note about that, it was unable to keep a large mass for longer than eight minutes which mean that there was a flaw in the system. At least for now, but he did not know how long before it would charge up.

"Surrender to my superior wit, say that I am superior to Professor Anthony Ivo!" The Tinkerer yelled.

"That was an oddly specific request for a surrender," Iron Man commented. He knew Professor Ivo dabbled in androids and in fact created an android in Gotham City that the original Batman had to deal with on one occasion but he would have to refresh his brain.

Lois watched the battle once again, and Jenny must have run through a lot of photos. Some of them were the Avengers getting their ass kicked, some of them were the Avengers kicking ass but regardless, the thought was there.

She could see Ms. Marvel about ready to call someone, perhaps for back up.

Suddenly, the Super Adaptoid had saw her and once again grew to its largest size.

"Ah, a hostage, so willingly presenting herself," Phineas commented as the Adaptoid grabbed Lois in it's fist. The Tinkerer prepared to reprimand its creation. "Don't squeeze too hard, we want her alive as bait for our trap!"

'Well, at least it hasn't climbed a sky scraper with me yet!" Lois thought as she saw two more Super Adaptoids drop down to engage the Avengers. She wondered how many of these things this guy built.

Phineas Mason was preparing to mask in his moment of triumph because quite frankly, there was going to be nothing better than what he was going to be about to feel. In fact, he felt pretty much giddy, giddier than an entire army of school girls if he was going to be honest with himself.

The man prepared to rub it into the face of his intellectual inferior. With a swift movement, he prepared to pick up the phone.

"Oh, Ivo, my old chap, don't touch that dial because I'm about to do what your so called amazing android could not have done in the past and that is utterly and totally decimate a group of heroes!" Mason commented and the Tinkerer was pretty much about ready to do a nice little jig.

Ivo sputtered over the phone. "Impossible."

"No, I disagree, it's very possible, and extremely probable," Mason commented with a chuckle and a nice little sneer. "All you need is a little will power and everything will fall into place. Trust me with this Anthony, you don't have the necessary fortitude to win the day but I've done it for you. No, no, no need to thank me, I'll just bow down and take full credit, a superior individual to say the very least."

"You….you have won nothing yet," Ivo spat as he wringed out his hands angrily but the laughter of the Tinkerer cut through his head like a knife.

"Oh, but I have and I'm about to win the bet," the Tinkerer offered as he tapped his finger on the desk. "And once I destroy the Avengers and….yes, I'll destroy Arcane as a nice little side bonus. That meddlesome brat has foiled my plans one time too often. It's time to settle the score and make me pay."

"You haven't won anything yet, Mason!" Ivo spat angrily.

"Oh, dear, there must be so kind of delayed echo, well my Super Adaptoid is adapting to anything that the Avengers is throwing at it, and then more, and I'm sure Arcane will be there to save the day," Mason commented. "Oh look up in the sky, faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Here he comes, right now."

"You stole…."

"Anthony, such accusations are unbecoming of gentlemen such as ourselves, I didn't steal anything, I merely enhanced your technology, flawed as it is, couldn't you see?" Mason asked as he shook his head. There was a wide and sick grin that filled his face. "Well, no, I guess you couldn't see that, for you are not of a superior mind. But know that the Tinkerer is not going be bested by some relic who had his best day almost fifteen years ago and let's face it, that day wasn't very good at all."

The laughter of the Tinkerer was mocking and nail grating.

There was a buzzing and then a call on the other line.

"I'll let you think of how amazing my victory is, for I've got another call, on another line," Tinkerer commented as he clicked it on. "Yes, may I help you?"

"The Super Adaptoid is a success, is it not?" a garbled voice commented over the phone.

"Yes, it's better than anything created by the Mad Thinker, Ivo, or even that headcase, Pym," the Tinkerer bragged.

"Do not get ahead of yourself Ivo, you still have to defeat them," the individual on the other end of the phone warned him.

The Tinkerer nodded his head. "Of course, forgive me but…."

"The Avengers should be annihilated, as are Arcane and then Batwoman will be the next on the list, and then your Super Adaptoid will servce as a useful tool to my inevitable plans, naturally you will be rewarded," the voice on the other end of the line stated.

"And those plans are…."

"Far beyond your scope of understanding, I was an inferior model the last time when the Avengers, Arcane, and Batwoman foiled me, but now I have learned much from past mistakes," the voice commented in a garbled voice.

Little did the Tinkerer know, that his benefactor was also working with Ivo. In fact, this individual was working both of them against each other, not that required much effort, so he could gain the best possible deal.

"Show them what the Avengers are made of!" Iron Man yelled as he nailed the Super Adaptoid with a uni-beam but it blocked the attack.

"Failure, that's what you're made of, failure!" The Tinkerer commented.

"I vote for shutting his stupid robot down and then shutting him up!" Jan yelled and She Hulk picked up a huge chunk of the pavement and threw it but the Adaptoid hurled it.

"Right behind you…."

Jan's mind slapped itself when she realized that there was an extremely obvious step that she could be taking to combat a super sized, super Adaptoid. She grew to ten times her normal size as well, as a fifty foot Wasp hovered.

"Hey, big guy, why don't you pick on someone your own size!" Jan called as it turned around.

Meanwhile, the first Adaptoid managed to hold Lois in its steel grip firmly.

"Miss Lane, I want you alive to report my ultimate triumph over Arcane!" The Tinkerer commented.

"Being a bit premature aren't we?" Lois managed as she shook her head. "Then again, you strike me as the type that's premature about a lot of things."

"YOU WILL BE SILENT!" The Tinkerer howled as he tried viewed the Avengers. They were giving the Adaptoid a far better fight than he thought, they did not give Pym's android that hard of a fight, and he was far superior to Hank Pym and far better looking as well, if he may say so myself.

"Well that showed me," Lois commented.

She was then witness to him bragging with someone in the background. She thought this conversation was proving to be rather illuminating.

'Jesus Christ on a canoe, why don't you whip them out and compare your lengths already,' Lois thought but then she shook her head. 'On second thought, no one wants to fucking see that.'

There was a loud bang as Harry showed up.

'Oh good, I was getting uncomfortable up here,' Lois thought blandly to herself, trying to amuse herself before the inevitable rescue.

The Super Adaptoid knocked Harry out of the sky with one palm thrust. The young wizard flew backwards and crashed into a billboard with Deadpool's face on it!

'Well, that could have gone better,' Harry thought to himself as he looked up. 'How in the fuck can he afford a billboard anyway?' 

Harry turned over, ignoring the ringing that was present in his ears and he shot up, up, and away.

He saw Jan brawling with one of the Super Adaptoids, her super sized stingers bounced off of the chest and she was backing it off.

"Thor, do something!"

"Aye, I'm doing the best I can!" Thor yelled as he swung his hammer and prepared to bring the thunder down. There was a crashing bang as the hammer connected with the back of the Adaptoid and nearly toppled over.

"Well, whatever you're doing, keep doing it, because it's working!" Jan yelled to Thor and then he lifted the hammer one more time, swung it, and smashed it once more.

Thor's wild swings dented the armor once again. Mjonir was the one thing that the Adaptoid might not be able to adapt to, a flaw in the system and a flaw that he would have to exploit to gain his triumph.

Captain America nailed the Adaptoid in the back of the legs and it was toppled over.

An energy field manifested around the Adaptoid once it reached its final size.

"There, that should burn it out," Iron Man commented.

Carol raised half of an eyebrow. "It should or it will?"

"It's me, what do you think?"

"Point well taken," Carol commented with a sigh as another Adaptoid moved in but the Hulk jumped back into the picture.

A huge haymaker of a punch sent the Adaptoid flying ass over tea kettle and it crashed into the side of the building. The Hulk was not leaving anything to chance, when he smashed this thing, he wanted it to say smashed.

"Stay down!" Hulk grunted as he curb stomped the thing and kicked it like a soccer ball halfway across the city.

Then, there was a rumbling above them.

Harry paid it no mind, he flew underneath the grip of the Adaptoid that had Lois. With a swift movement, he detached the reporter from its grip.

"I was wondering when you would get around to saving me," Lois commented as she rested in Harry's grip. "But I think that he still wants to…."

Harry sat Lois away from the Adaptoid which was now flying to him.

'That's right, come to me,' Harry thought as he pulled out two canisters and flung them. The canisters spiraled in the air and the Adaptoid caught them.

"Freeze," Harry whispered and the obvious code word caused the ice to envelope around the Android.

The android was frozen and Harry followed that up by smashing into it with both fists with the force of a super sonic jet. The Adaptoid exploded.

"Well all in a day's work,wouldn't you say?" Iron Man asked.

"Okay, Tinkerer, now it's your turn!" Wasp called, as she rolled up her sleeves and prepared to lay the smackdown on this guy. He was really getting on her nerves.

The Tinkerer's laugh was high and obnoxious.

"Hardly my dear, hardly, I've just barely begun," The Tinkerer commented as his grin got even wider. "Behold, the new and improved Super Adaptoid…."

"Which is an inferior model, compared to a far more superior android, not to mention less than original, behold the thing that will bring down the Avengers, AMAZO!"

Professor Ivo stated this claim as AMAZO dropped down. It was a sleek and silver android, with glowing eyes and there was not a blemish on it. It stepped forward to square off against the Super Adaptoid.

"Fool, my Adaptoid can adapt to anything that the Avengers throws at it!" Tinkerer offered him with a laugh.

"Oh, you think that you're so great, well I'll show you, you'll see," Ivo commented as he had AMAZO step in.

The Avengers and Harry stood, with raised eyebrow, they had a feeling that they were in the middle of some kind of pissing match.

"Our number one priority should be civilians!" Captain America called but the two androids about ready to show which one was superior was like a high stakes video game.

"Great, now we're trapped in the middle of some kind of super powered robotic nerd fight," Jan grumbled.

And in the minds of these two mad scientists, the prize would be who would be the ones to take down the Avengers and Harry Potter.
