The HumanTorch

Note : the action takes place in the current era run by Dan Slott

Johnny Storm, a.k.a the Human Torch was flying miles away from New York. He was brooding. Since the key Fantastic Four member screwed Dr. Doom's grand wedding with his aid Zora Vukovic, a.k.a Lady Victorious, by bedding days before the young superpowered Latverian, the Fantastic Four's arch enemy's **** has been both smart and cruel :

The tyrant from Latveria managed to overload Johnny's raw powers and now, Johnny was not able to turn his flame off anymore. The young hero was a hot human torch... literraly. He can't be near his dear friends and lovely family without wearing precisely a scientifically made suit.

Naturally, Johnny's personal morale was down. He already gave up the idea that Reed Richards, Mr Fantasticwould be able to restore him. He never managed to properly cure Ben Grimm from his transformation into the Thing anyway...

Thence, Storm was flying until he experiences something odd, some sort of ionization, like he was...

A bright flash later and the Human Torch was, indeed, teleported. The active process instantly made him black out.

When Johnny finally waked up, he sawhimself in a dark place. He was imprisoned into a large tube of bulletproof glass.

And then, it promptly hit him : he was no longer eternal flame on. He was back to his normal self. Johnny shouted triumphantly :

• Yes, I'm back.

He tried to exert his extraordinary powers and they worked as before. But The Human Torch was still restricted in this modern tube. Johnny was about to try to escape when roared from the dark a loud, cold and robotic voice :

• You are presently indebted to me twice Johnny Storm : the first time for humiliating me, and the second time to voluntarily waive my appropriate sanction on you. And I rightfully expect to be repaid right now.

Johnny instantly saw Doom appearing, at least his cowl and flowing cape in the dark. If he was genuinely troubled to be **** to be in the commanding presence of the Latverian tyrant, Johnny could not help but instantly notice that something wasoff with Victor Von Doom.

But Johnny's anxious thoughts were interrupted when Doom pushed an appropriate button on the heavy modern console near him...
