The Purple Man wants

Originally written for Superstories.net. If you want to join be my guest :)

The Life of Susan Storm Richards was a mess. Since her Accident her whole Life was filled with almost surreal and Comic-like Adventures. Even now, 5 Years later, she wasn’t sure if she was understanding what was happening. The Fantastic Four had surely made quite an impression on the Superhero Society. They played in the same League as the Avengers, the X-Men and S.H.I.E.L.D, mostly even in a higher League but all of that had ruined her normal Life. Reed and she tried four times to marry and it had to be a galactic threat called Galactus to bring them in a situation where they finally could marry in a local Park near Japan. It wasn’t exactly what she had hoped for but in this moment she had been happy that it was over. Even if she was a very proud woman who liked herself in the Role as High Class Hero and Member of the upper Society she had sometimes the feeling that they all gave her these credits only because of her Superpowers. Maybe if she hadn’t been gifted, or cursed, with these Powers she would be a nobody by now. A little Secretary with an IQ of 152 or worse.

It was easy for a Men to rise in his career when he was clever, but for a woman it was much harder. And that she looked like a Wet-Dream wasn’t making it any easier for her. Many villains had tried to her, seduce her, mind control her or anything like that. That she thought about all of this was a clear sign that she was bored.

Bored with her Life, Bored with her Powers and bored of this stupid scientist that was talking about the Myths of Asgard and the northern Religion. Didn’t he have a TV? Hasn’t he heard of Thor? Son of Odin and Prince of Asgard? It wasn’t a Religion, it was a damn Fact. Asgard was out there. Somehow in another Dimension bounded with an unknown Thor called Yggdrasil. Reed had tried to explain it to her but it was one thing to be clever but another thing to follow the smartest Men on this Planet if he talked about Meta-Physics, Quantum Realities and multiple Dimensions. Many of the Scientists in this Room seemed to be exactly in line with her thoughts making quick Marks on their Pads before trying to get some Sleep. It was clear that this Men on the Podium wasn’t right in his mind if he really tried to prove that the northern Mythology was based on some immigrated Christians. While she toyed around with her Tablet and tried to break her personal Record in Tetris she thought how unfair it was that she had to be here in Tokyo while Johnny and Ben had Holidays.

Normally it had been Reed´s Job to be here but he had found something in his lap he called the Negative Zone. He believed that it would be a great way to put criminals away. The massive Breakout from more than 200 Super villains had all Super powered Heroes to work closer together. The Avengers where born on that day. Stark had formed a team of individual Members around him to imprison the running Villains but even now only a handful of them was in jail again. S.H.I.E.L.D. hadn’t figured out who was behind the Outbreak but it was sure that it had to be someone with a terrible influence and nearby unlimited Resources. She had guessed on her old Lover and now Arch Enemy Victor Van Doom, but he hadn’t made a Move out of his country until now. Rumors said that the Avengers had been constantly under Attack of a Woman in Green Latex and with Blond Hair.

It seemed that she was an Asgardian Witch or Sorceress that was on a rampage to destroy Thor. She had even been able to control the Hulk once and the Fight between Hulk and Thor had been Epic. A little Noise brought her back into the reality as her tablet showed her a new Record. A little Smile formed o her lips as she saw that she had beaten her old record for more than 2000 Points. Just then the Meeting was over and like everyone else she moved back to her Room. It seemed that the Hotel had planned with a longer Conversation because the Room Service was still in the Room cleaning it. If she had been more careful she would maybe have noticed the purple Hair that was visible under the Hat.

“Ah Ms. Storm-Richards. Please. The Bedroom is ready. Take a Nap while I do everything else.” She heard him saying and all of a sudden she felt terrible sleepy.

It was a good idea to take a short Nap until the next Meeting would begin. She checked the watch and saw that she had over 3 hours left. Right after Susan had entered the sleeping Room Zachariah went back to Work.

He knew that the Avengers were after him. Maybe he wasn’t the top Villain on their list, but sooner or later they would imprison him again. It was one thing to control the mind of normal Person or Superheroes but he doubt that he really could control a Captain America or a living God out of Space. And Stark in his Armor was immune against his Powers as long as he was inside of this Metal Monster. So he had formed an Alliance with another Mind Controller named Hypnotia and together they had made a plan to defeat the Avengers once and for all.

But as they had improved their relationship and had been able to archive a fragile Level of Trust they had a new Idea. Why should they destroy the Avengers when it would be possible to use them? Stark was one of the richest Men on the Planet and a Genius too. Thor was an indestructible of Power and the other Avengers too had more or less impressive Talents. Even the Spy Romanov had surely two VERY impressive Talents, he mused.

Phase one had been easier than they had thought. Vanish from the direct Reach of the Avengers. S.H.I.E.L.D. was still busy to rebuild their Prisons and Forces after the massive Breakout and the Avengers were in a deadly fight with the so called Masters of Evil.

Phase two was also easy. Thanks to the combined Power of his own Suggestions and the Hypnotic Skills of Hypnotia they had quickly archived a Base of Operations in Tokyo and some of the richest Men of the City spend both of them a lot of money for their plans.

Phase Three would be the first one that would be tricky. Both of them had agreed that it would be the best way to infiltrate the Fantastic Four. To do so they would first manipulate Susan´s Handy and her Tablet so it would be able to infiltrate the Baxter Building Security Systems. After that they would find a way to take out the Avengers after finding some weaknesses in their daily Routine. Reed Richards was the most dangerous Part in this. Many had tried to control him and every time he had manage to break free from the Spell, the Device, the Mind Control or whatever.

But Hypnotia was sure that she was able to keep him under control IF she had enough Information. For now it was too dangerous to manipulate Susan too much. They couldn’t risk it to get caught only because his dick wanted this blond Hero. But he was able to wait. The time in Prison had trained him to be patient and his time would come. As soon as Susan would link her tablet with the Mainframe in the Baxter Building the advanced Virus would copy all Plans and Meetings in their Schedule’s.

Meanwhile the young Woman known as Hypnotia was waiting in a Tea Shop for her Business partner. She had paid much Money for the Program that they wanted to use against the Baxter Building. Except for Dr. Doom maybe, nobody knew what kind of Program the Baxter Building had. She knew that it was some kind of KI but wasn´t very aware of such things. She had other Talents. But A.I.M. Had promised that this Program would be able to infiltrate even the most advanced Computer and A.I.M was just the right Partner for both of them. They didn’t ask many questions and were able to solve the problems that both of them could never solve. A young business Men entered the little shop and smiled at her.

“Ms. Hypnotia I guess?” he asked honestly and after a short nod of her he put his Briefcase on the Table and opened it.

Inside was a little USB Stick with 4 G byte. “I have to inform you that this Operation is secured via Sensor Drones. If you should try to use your Powers against me to avoid paying this USB Stick will not blow the whole Room into the next Dimension, it will also make sure that you will be at my Side while we will die.”

Hypnotia smiled and put on her most innocent face. “Why should I try to do this handsome boy? Here is the Payment for your hard Work. 21 Pounds pure Gold. I think it will be as good as the Money you wanted. But as you might know I don´t want to be caught because someone could trail back the Money. “

The A.I.M Member nodded and put out something that could easily be a Gadget from a Star Trek Movie. He moved it over the Gold and suddenly it started to make funny noises. “Everything is correct Ms. Hypnotia. As it should be. A.I.M hopes that you will be satiated with our work. This Program will be able to hide inside every Computer on this Planet even the most advanced. You just have to bring it into the System. It will be enough to insert this USP Stick and the Device will make the rest. Have a nice day Ms Hypnotia.”
