Chapter 42: Spider Doom

[September 29th, 2007]

[Latveria, Doomstadt]

(Victor: POV)

Exiting the Gulfstream G150 I started heading towards the SUV that would take me home to Castle Doom.

Natasha following right behind me.

After she agreed to the deal I offered her we immediately left Mexico and made a beeline towards Latveria. Having arrived without any issues.

As I got closer to the vehicle one the security personnel opened the rear door for me and I slipped on first. Natasha then coming in right after me.

Once inside of the vehicle the door was then closed.

It then a quick trip from the airfield to my home.

As we got out of the vehicle Natasha examined Castle Doom with her gaze. "Huh, so you really do live in a castle."

"Of course. Doesn't most royalty?" I said.

"From what I've seen it's usually 50/50." Natasha explained. "Plus most of the royalty that do live in castles usually live in ones much larger than this. No offense."

"None taken." I replied. "And on another note those castle's of other royals having nothing on mine." I said.

"Right. I'll believe it when I see it." Natasha said.

"I'll hold you to that." I replied.

The two of us then entered into the castle.

Where we found the entire castle staff, Boris, Kristoff, Lucia, Zora, and Zemo waiting for us.

"Father, welcome back." Kristoff said as he walked up to me and gave me a hug.

One which I reciprocated.

"You have a kid?" Natasha questioned.

"Yes." I replied. "Kristoff introduce yourself to Natasha."

"Okay." He said. Kristoff then walked up to Natasha and looked her straight in her eyes. "Greetings I am Kristoff Vernard-Doom. It's a pleasure to meet you." He said.

"You too." Natasha replied.

Once she did Kristoff returned to Boris side, and after exchanging pleasantries with him, and introducing Natasha to the castle staff, they all left.

Leaving Natasha and I alone with Zora, Lucia, and Zemo.

"So, where's Kristoff's mother if you don't mind me asking?" Natasha asked me.

"She passed." I replied.

"I see. Sorry." Natasha said.

"Thank you." I told her.

"It must be hard with her gone." Natasha spoke.

"Yeah, it's hard for Kristoff every day." I said. When I did Natasha gave me a weird look. I then realized why. "Oh, Kristoff isn't my biological son, I adopted him. Though in my eyes he's my son in every way that counts." I quickly explained.

"Oh I see." Natasha replied.

"Yes." I spoke. "Now then, onto introductions. Natasha I would like you to meet Latveria prime minister, Lucia Von Bardas, our minister of Defense Zora Vukovic, and finally one of our generals Helmut J. Zemo." I spoke. Pointing to each one as I called their names.

Once I finished they and Natasha exchanged brief greetings.

After they did I had Zemo take charge of Natasha. Lucia, Zora, and I then split up with them.

While we walked Zora spoke up. "My king, is it wise to give Romanoff such freedom of movement?"

"It's fine Zora." I replied. "She accepted my deal because she wants to change from what she was made into. Besides, who do you think you're talking to?"

Because I'm not foolish enough to trust Black Widow just like that.

Right now I have her under surveillance, and if she makes one move I don't like then...

Well let's just hope she doesn't.

My point is Zora knows how cautious I am, yet she still asked me such a question. That's not like her at all.

So to see what the issue was I scanned her surface thoughts and emotions. Finding something I didn't expect.

Jealousy.

Zora was jealous of Natasha. She's also a little jealous of Sable. But mostly she's jealous of Lucia. Not only because I have given her powers but also because she alone is getting a dose of my Vitamin D.

Which Zora has never gotten.

Well, seems I'll have to rectify that.

Especially if she's gotten this jealous.

Though I must admit it's kind of cute.

"Yes, you're right. Forgive me my king. I just wanted some reassurance, considering the background of the person you've recruited this time." Zora said.

"Completely understandable Zora." I replied. "So, since Zemo is back I take it his mission was successful?"

"Yes. It was." Zora answered. "Otto Vermis has been successfully eliminated and we were also able to rescue the woman known as Jessica Drew you informed us about." She explained.

"Good." I said. "Also keep her as she currently is until I can attend to her." I ordered the two of them.

Jessica's current situation being her in a medically induced coma.

Which she will stay in until I can get around to her and remove all the brainwashing HYDRA began putting in her head to make her loyal to them. So I can then implant my own information and make her loyal to me and Latveria. Since her talents would be wasted by HYDRA and by extension SHIELD.

"Yes my king." Both Zora and Lucia immediately replied.

After they did so we walked the rest of our way to our destination in a comfortable silence.

Which was the state of the art medical lab I had built in one of the castle sub-basement catacombs.

Entering we found Sarah and Maya waiting for us.

"Ladies." I said to them. "Good to see you both."

"The same to you king Victor." Dr. Kinney replied.

"Yes. The same." Dr. Hansen added.

"How have you both been? Everything going well?" I asked them.

"Everything is fine." Maya said.

"Yes. Everything is well." Sarah spoke. "And Laura is truly enjoying school."

"Same goes for Riri." Maya spoke.

"Well I'm glad to hear that. Truly I am. Now, then, let's get this show on the road." I said.

I then walked over to one of the medical beds and sat on it. I then removed my shirt without any hesitation.

Not even trying to keep a smirk from forming on my face as all the ladies in the room started staring at me like a piece of meat.

"See something you like ladies?" I asked them.

"I certainly do." Zora said without any shame.

"Same for me." Lucia added. Licking her lips.

*Ahem* Maya faked coughed. "Before you three start humping each other like rabbits can we please do what we came here to do." She said.

"Right. Business first before pleasure." I said. "Let's get to it then." I spoke.

"Yes." Dr. Kinney spoke.

She then walked over to a small cart and wheeled it over to me. Once she did she picked up the only object sitting on it.

A syringe filled with a dark-red liquid.

The liquid itself being a formula I synthesized from the genetically engineered spiders that Richard Parker created, after I obtained his DNA and broke the genetic lock he placed upon them.

Since I have plans to give several individuals spider-based powers, myself included as you can see, and with that being the case I didn't want each person I wanted to bestow these powers upon to have to get bitten by one of the radioactive spiders in my possession and suffer through the same stuff Peter Parker goes through almost every time when he obtains his powers.

A serum is much simpler.

So I made one.

Me about to be its first human test subject.

Which is why both Dr. Kinney and Dr. Hansen are present right now.

Since even though I have run dozens of simulations and calculations about how the spider-serum will interact with my already enhanced physiology I truly don't know what will happen.

Which is why I have two of the best medical professionals I know, who also have experience in dealing with enhanced individuals, here in front of me. Just in case shit hits the fan.

Stepping up to me Dr. Kinney found a vein on my arm. Once she did she injected the spider serum into me, then stepped back.

After she did so we waited for the serum to take affect.

Which it did seconds after Sarah injected me with it.

Feeling dry mouth, and my internal temperature start to rise, I lied down on the table. Maya and Sarah moving closer to monitor my condition.

Which stayed exactly the same for five minutes before I felt myself return to normal.

Once I did I jumped to my feet, then slipped my shirt back on.

"So, did it work,?" Maya asked.

In response to her question I leapt straight up, managing to reach the ceiling, touch it with both my hands, and then simply hung in the air as my hands basically stayed glued to it.

"Yes. I think it worked." I replied.

I then dropped back down to the floor.

Feeling no pain whatsoever in my body from the action.

"Looks like the serum was a success." I spoke.

For now I am Spider-Doom.

After making sure this was true I sent Sarah, Maya, and Lucia on their way. But asked Zora to remained behind.

Standing in front of me she had her hands clasped behind her back. "Yes, my king?" She asked.

"You know there's no reason for you to be jealous right." I spoke.

"I'm sorry my king I do not know what you ar-"

Before Zora could continue spotting her lies I closed the distance between us, forces her back in the wall, then slammed my left hand against the wall near her head.

"Victor, what are you doing?" Zora asked.

"Just letting you know that I haven't forgotten about you at all my dear." I said. Looking Zora in her eyes. "All I need is a little more time and you will have your own powers, I promise. And until then here's a little something to tide you over while you wait." I spoke.

I then leaned down and captured Zora's lips with my own.

Giving her a small taste of what's to come.

But only after I've given her her powers. Since the way my body is right now if Zora and I went at it I would cause her death by snu snu.

Using my tongue I dominated Zora's, making her moan.

Then after a few moments I broke our kiss, leaving Zora panting.

"So, do we have an understanding?" I asked.

"We do. My king." Zora replied. "And thank you for the gift just now."

"Well it's only a taste of what's to come." I replied.

I then gave her ass cheeks a little squeeze.

Zora entire body shuddering in response.

Telling me my business with her was concluded.

So upon seeing this I opened the door and the two of us went out separate ways.

Me heading straight for the dungeons.

Arriving I headed straight for a cell. Where I found two Doombots safeguarding a stunningly beautiful woman lying on a medical bed, hooked up to an IV, as well as machines that were monitoring her vitals.

The woman in question being none other than Jessica Drew/Spider-Woman.

[Insert Image of Jessica Drew/Spider Woman Here]

Just looking at her I couldn't help but feel the flag in my pants start to rise a bit.

'Damn. Why do all women in comic book universes have to be so hot?' I thought to myself.

While also quickly squashing my lustful urges.

Since it's like I said earlier. Business before pleasure.

Seeing me the two Doombots opened up the cell.

Once they did I stepped inside.

Then I got straight to work turning Jessica Drew into a loyal follower of Latveria, but more importantly Victor Von Doom.

Also known as me.
