The Doctor, William, and the Avengers dashed into the commons room as Doctor Doom put the last device on the TARDIS. \u201cVictor Von Doom, you need to-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLoki addressed you as a Time Lord during our planning stage, Doctor,\u201d interrupted Doom, \u201cso address Doom with the proper respect.\u201d He pulled out a comms unit. \u201cLoki, TARDIS is secured.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cExcellent,\u201d replied a smooth voice. \u201cStandby.\u201d Doom held onto one of the devices as they started beeping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOH NO, YOU DON\u2019T!\u201d shouted the Doctor as she grabbed another one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDOCTOR!\u201d yelped William as he grabbed a third. The TARDIS, devices, and passengers then vanished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The people and hijacked TARDIS reappeared in a gothic castle with dark-green decorating the walls. The Doctor steadied herself as William went somewhere to be sick in. \u201cOogh!\u201d groaned the Doctor. \u201cStomach feels like it ate a bowl of pears!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI was anticipating only you chasing after your TARDIS, Doctor,\u201d remarked Doom. \u201cIt seems I will have to have guest quarters arranged for your friend. Servants.\u201d Two servants appeared. \u201cTend to the needs of the Doctor and her friend.\u201d With a swish of his cloak, Doom stormed out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cErm, please\u2026\u201d said one servant in a thick Eastern European accent, borderline German. \u201cYou two come.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere\u2019s no need to stumble with English,\u201d assured the Doctor. The servants visibly relaxed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou speak Latverian as well as a native,\u201d praised the second servant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo, you two just spoke English,\u201d replied William.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWrong on both counts,\u201d interjected the Doctor. \u201cThe TARDIS is translating. Any language, any point in history.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo you\u2019re hearing us speak your native language?\u201d asked the first servant as he cleaned up William\u2019s sick evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, sort of,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cAnyways, your master said there\u2019s rooms for us?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis way,\u201d said the second servant as she and her partner led the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey\u2019re definitely in Latveria,\u201d said Iron Man after he traced the teleport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThen, by my father\u2019s beard, let us retrieve them!\u201d insisted Thor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNot that simple,\u201d replied Captain America. \u201cDoom\u2019s left us a message saying that if we enter Latveria, he\u2019ll view it as America declaring war on us and respond in kind.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat else have we got?\u201d asked Hulk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat about Black Panther?\u201d quizzed Hawkeye. \u201cHe might have some insight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWakanda isn\u2019t exactly friendly with Latveria,\u201d agreed Black Widow. \u201cBut he needs a good enough reason.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll have to tell him about the Doctor and her time machine,\u201d said Iron Man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAgreed,\u201d replied Captain America. \u201cHe\u2019ll want to protect Wakanda\u2019s history.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After being given their rooms, the Doctor and William were taken to the dining hall where Doom was sitting with a man in green and gold. The meal looked and smelled amazing. \u201cI see you eat well,\u201d remarked the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy chef sets a superb table,\u201d replied Doom. \u201cHe dares not do otherwise; he holds himself in too high a regard to make a mistake.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo threats of killing him if he fails?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSuch threats are unnecessary.\u201d The Doctor and William were seated as the green and gold man smirked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cY-You\u2019re\u2026you\u2019re Loki!\u201d gulped William.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLoki Laufeyson?\u201d asked the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve heard of me then, Doctor,\u201d replied Loki. \u201cGood. And I\u2019ve heard much about you. Indeed, I AM Loki of Asgard\u2026and I am burdened with glorious purpose.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou say that as if you expect a round of applause,\u201d remarked the Doctor as she sipped her drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHave a care, Doctor,\u201d warned Doom. \u201cI did not bring you to my castle to play the clown.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh?\u201d asked the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIndeed. It is here that Doom rules and entertains his guests, especially distinguished guests like Loki.\u201d Doom gestured to Loki as the Frost Giant ate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, I apologize for my levity,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cNot to mention my curiosity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat troubles your mind, Doctor?\u201d asked Loki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, what a Frost Giant son of Asgard is doing in a Midgard country, for a start,\u201d answered the Doctor. She then bit down on an apple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, I have my reasons,\u201d replied Loki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWould those reasons have anything to do with Thanos possessing the Time Stone? Not wanting to take your chances of the Mad Titan snapping your neck at birth?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou mock a guest of Doom, Doctor!\u201d growled Doom. \u201cDo not doubt that I AM capable of making your stay unpleasant, not only for yourself, but Dr. Davies too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLord Doom, I appreciate the thought, but there\u2019s no need to get angry on my behalf,\u201d soothed Loki. \u201cShe IS correct in that we both want an advantage over the Mad Titan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026I fail to see how you two can work together,\u201d remarked William.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat, pray tell, do you mean?\u201d asked Loki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019re both power-hungry and won\u2019t suffer anyone above you. One of you is going to stab the other in the back at some point.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve done your homework, Dr. Davies,\u201d said Doom. \u201cWhile we will work together to puzzle out the TARDIS, only one of us will possess it. You, Doctor, being the owner of the TARDIS-.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou can exclude me from your mad schemes, Doctor Doom!\u201d hissed the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou cannot resist, Doctor,\u201d replied Doom. \u201cIn these lands, all things obey Doom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWith your TARDIS, the power will be absolute,\u201d continued Loki. \u201cWe shall command all of space and time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019ve always found domination a rather unattractive prospect,\u201d remarked the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Shall I be forced to compel you, Time Lord?\u201d At Loki\u2019s threat, the Doctor stood up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Daleks couldn\u2019t make me, what makes you think a Frost Giant or a petty dictator can make me give access to the TARDIS?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Daleks are nothing like me or Doom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere\u2019s always someone like you, whether it be the Daleks, Sontarans, Thanos-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cENOUGH!\u201d bellowed Doom. \u201c\u2026I trust the meal was to your liking?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, very much so,\u201d replied the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGood. Because now we must tend to business as Dr. Davies\u2019 life is now in your hands.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cExcuse me?!\u201d protested William.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou heard Doom correctly. Your survival depends on the Doctor\u2019s cooperation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019re wasting time, Doom!\u201d replied the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLoki and I require the key to the TARDIS.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI already told you, no!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026You have until midnight to change your mind. Servants!\u201d Two different servants arrived. \u201cBring the Doctor and her companion to their quarters and clear away the table. My compliments to the chef as per usual.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPass along mine as well,\u201d said the Doctor. The servants bowed and obeyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Doctor examined her room. It was tasteful, but still a cell. She patted her pockets. \u201c\u2026No sonic,\u201d she muttered. \u201cMust have left that in the TARDIS. \u2026Right, better do it the old-fashioned way.\u201d She checked the small vanity and found a pair of hair sticks. \u201c\u2026For all your smarts, Doom, you fell to the stereotype of the perceived inherent vanity of women.\u201d She took the hair sticks and started picking the lock. \u2026It turned out to be a bit more technological than she thought as it shocked her through the hair sticks. \u201cOW!\u201d she yelped as she pulled her hands back. \u201c\u2026Then again, Doom, perhaps you ARE smarter than that. \u2026But are your guards?\u201d She learned quickly that she hated such an act, but\u2026 \u201cEEK! GUARD! HELP!\u201d She stood on the chair by the mirror, clutching her skirt. A guard then burst in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat is it?!\u201d asked the guard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA mouse!\u201d she said. \u201cUnder the bed!\u201d The guard turned to his companion outside the cell and nodded his head. The two guards then began checking the bed as the Doctor stepped down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI don\u2019t see any-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAI-CHAVEETCH!\u201d shouted the Doctor as she pressed her thumb into the man\u2019s right-side ribs, causing him to collapse. The other guard picked up on the escape attempt and wrapped his arms around her from behind. The Doctor stamped her foot onto the guard\u2019s, causing him to cry out and let go, then she maneuvered herself behind him and used the man\u2019s collapsing against him by using a knife-hand strike on his neck, knocking him out. She then took their keys. \u201cVenusian Martial Arts, gentlemen,\u201d she said. \u201cI do hope I didn\u2019t hurt you too much.\u201d She then left the cell through the open door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
William sat in his cell, leaning against the wall with his arms folded. He had to admit, this was NOT how he intended his day to go. First being called by the Avengers about a mystery patient, then discovering that said patient was a mad woman alien that allegedly travels through time and space in a blue box, now he\u2019s a prisoner in Doctor Doom\u2019s country. He just wanted to get to Dartmouth and get that Epic nonsense out of the way. As he was about to rant to himself, he heard somebody going \u201cpst!\u201d. He looked around and saw the Doctor\u2019s face through the door\u2019s window. \u201cDoc-!\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSHH!\u201d hissed the Doctor. \u201cI\u2019ve got the keys! Come on! To the TARDIS!\u201d she whispered as she opened the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDoctor, you\u2019re a lifesaver!\u201d whispered William.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think of myself as that particular kind of candy,\u201d joked the Doctor. \u201cCome on!\u201d She and William rounded a corner\u2026and found themselves in front of Doom, Loki, and several guards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Stefan, you were right,\u201d remarked Doom. \u201cThe Doctor DID go to rescue William. You have corrected your mistake admirably.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThank you, Lord Doom,\u201d replied the man the Doctor knocked out with her thumb.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
