Chapter 12: Extremis

As I continued to revel in my new feelings of wholeness I also did several movements in my armor.

To get used to it.

Which only took me five minutes to do.

The armor itself feeling like it has always been a part of me. It's like a second set of skin.

Sure it's one with enough power to singlehandedly destroy several small counties, or one large one, but the feeling remains the same.

Finishing my movement exercises in my armor I fired up its internal computer systems and had them begin to run a full diagnostic. To see if anything was amiss and needed my attention.

As this happened Lucia entered the warehouse.

Using the normal entrance and not a magical one.

Since I showed her the physical location of the warehouse some time ago.

Which is just on the outskirts of Albany, in Upstate New York.

The factory itself having once been a lumber processing plant.

But it eventually went out of business.

That's when Fisk purchased it for whatever reason, and after I dealt with him found it was the perfect place to make my factory/laboratory.

The moment she laid eyes on me she stopped in her tracks.

"What?!" She shouted.

"Lucia. Calm down. It's me. Victor." I said.

Using my magic to instantly make my armors helmet appear in my left hand.

"Victor." She mused. Looking me up and down. "What is that you're wearing?"

"Why my armor my dear." I replied. "For soon we will be going to war." I said. "So, what do you think?"

"It suits you." She said. Stepping closer until she was in front of me. "May I...touch it?"

"Sure." I said. "Here, let me help." I spoke.

I then wrapped my free hand around Lucia's waist and picked her up and pulled her close to me.

The reason I needed to pull her up being while in the armor my height becomes 7 feet.

"Now then, go ahead and touch it all you want." I said to her.

Swallowing a lump in her throat Lucia carefully moved her hands all over my armor. A curious and wonderous expression on her face the entire time.

Along with a hint of arousal.

"Victor I knew you were something, but this is just incredible."

"Why thank you." I replied. "But it's still too early to be impressed my dear. For this is only the beginning." I spoke. "Doom has many more surprises in store. In many different forms. Like this one."

Leaning down I captured Lucia's lips with my own and then dominated her mouth with my tongue.

"Mhmm!!!"

She moaned. Deepening our kiss when she could, and trying to gain dominance in our kiss.

But I would have none of that.

I kept control and then broke the kiss when I wanted.

Leaving a small trail of saliva between our lips when I did.

"Surprise. I am an excellent kisser." I said.

"I fully agree." Lucia purred.

Her body squirming in my grasp.

Looking into her eyes I saw her hunger. So I did the only sensible thing.

I put her down and put back on my helmet.

For Doom controls his relationship and no one else.

Plus, it's always good to leave the ladies wanting more.

"Wonderful as that was we will need to continue later. I need to make sure there are no issues with my armor. Now then, your report." I spoke.

"Everything is on schedule." Lucia replied.

Me ignoring the obvious disappointment in her voice.

Since she'll get her dose of vitamin D sooner than she thinks.

"Production of the Doombot's is proceeding on schedule. So is the stockpiling of non-perishable food items, medicines, and weapons. Which are being snuggled into Latveria with no issues. I have begun digging up dirt on any within the United Nations who would try and interfere with Latveria once you assume the title of monarch and ruler. The same goes for officials posted at the Latverian embassies around the world. In accordance with your orders I have also purchased stocks within various insurance companies and begun the process to create the one you asked me to, Zefiro." Lucia stated.

"Excellent my dear. Very excellent." I spoke.

Going over my suits full diagnostic report at the same time.

For Doom can easily multi-task.

Seeing that there were no issues with my armor I used my magic to send it to the display case I had built for it.

I then turned to face Lucia and pulled in for another kiss.

Breaking it I moved my hands down to her ass and gave her cheeks a squeeze.

"Now that business is out of the way, where were we?" I asked.

Lucia shuddering in my arms.

All according to plan.

So with that I gave her the vitamin D she desperately wanted.

Giving her multiple shots for good measure.

For as a doctor I need to be very thurough.

[September 4th, 2005]

Turning on the Vortex Mixer in front of me I watched and waited as the wrack of twelves vials situated on it finished well mixing.

Fifteens minutes passed before they did.

But once they did I turned off the Vortex Mixer and removed the wrack of vials from it.

A smile on my face.

For now I had twelve vials of perfected Extremis.

Yes, I said Extremis.

Perfect Extremis at that.

My own version.

Which was no trouble to make.

Once I copied all notes and research on the serum/virus from Maya Hansen, her pathetic boss Aldrich Killian, and their think tank/cult AIM. Then fixed any and all flaws in the product. Before making my own modifications.

Now here is the results of my hard work.

Which once again feels glorious to see with my own eyes.

So, you're probably wondering why I made my own version of Extremis in the first place.

By the way, while AIM, Killian, and Maya are based on their MCU origins, the Extremis itself is modeled after the first version from the comics.

But back to my point.

I made this serum/virus so I could give myself a boost.

Because for all my current power my body and overall physical abilities are still that of a base human.

Albeit one who is in peak physical condition, but still a base human nonetheless.

Which in Marvel without any sort of plot armor is a quick way to die.

Considering all the physically enhanced individuals currently out there in the world, or those that will appear in the future.

Like Thanos.

And sure, my armor is something else. But there might come a situation where it ends up being unavailable.

So in preparation for such a possible event I decided to enhance myself physically.

Landing on the Extremis Serum to get the job done.

Not to mention I am also preparing myself to flirt with the beauties of the Marvel universe. A number of whom have enhanced physical capabilities. So if I am going to go after them and give their longing and unattended gardens a good plowing then I need to be able to see the job through once I begin it.

Because Doom has made it one of his duties to please all those booties.

Just like I am now doing for Lucia.

Taking one of the vials off the wrack I then picked up the sterilized syringe I had sitting on the small metal tray on my left.

I then stuck it into the vial and loaded the Extremis Serum inside into it.

Placing the vial down I then set myself up for an injection into my Brachial artery on my right arm.

I then inhaled and exhaled before giving myself the injection.

As I finished doing so I placed the empty syringe back on the metal tray.

I then just sat and waited for the serum to begin affecting me.

Which it did, a minute after injection.

Feeling my entire body grow hot from the inside out I grit my teeth as the heat steadily increased.

Rising higher and higher.

*Crack*

Then I heard my bones starting to break.

But I wouldn't let that best me.

For Doom is not that weak.

Nor will he ever be.

So enduring the pain I allowed my entire body to undergo the changes, feeling myself getting rebuilt.

Until finally it was over.

Once it was I felt like a new man.

Stronger, faster, etc.

"Let's make sure I don't just feel this way." I said.

I then stood up to my feet and went to go put myself through a battery of tests. To make sure my original Extremis Serum worked liked it was supposed to.

Oh and as for how the serum was supposed to affect me I modeled my original Extremis Serum off of the first version from the comics, while adding the technopathic abilities and enhanced mental calculation abilities of Tony Stark's Modified Extremis from the comics.

As I put myself through all the tests I had devised I smiled when I finished them.

For my original Extremis Serum worked exactly as I had designed it to.

I can now easily lift 20 tons.

Run up 300 mhp in one minute.

My stamina is almost unlimited and my durability is nothing to sneeze at.

I can regenerate from wounds within seconds. And though I'm not crazy enough to cut off my own limb I feel I can regenerate them if I should need too.

I have the claw-like pincers.

I can breathe fire.

I can even generate and throw electricity like Sidious.

My mind is now capable of connecting to machinery and technology and communicating with it.

While my brain now functions exactly like a supercomputer. Just like the Mutant Sage from the comics.

Speaking of her, if she exists here then I wouldn't mind recruiting her to my side.

I'll just add that to the other long list of things I need to handle.

But right now I'm just enjoying the moment.

Oh and it seems the Serum had an affect I didn't intend to occur.

It has made me grow taller.

My height has gone up from 1.88 meters (6'2") to 1.91 meters (6'3").

Well it's certainly not bad.

That just means there is now more of Doom for the ladies to love.

So really it is a gift for some.

Me included.

For Doom likes his new height and all his other powers very much.
