Chapter 9 | Shadow

╚════▣◎◉ ④ ◉◎▣════╝


I saw something in Richards head after possessing his body next day to help him and Professor Storm with the machine, he is having a conflict on his head siding with Johnny about maybe keep the team as superheroes mostly after his talk with Nick Fury, but also he felt guilty with Ben's condition, I felt awkward knowing that, as if things weren't awkward already after the Motocross X-Games thing, so I let them work together on the machine with my pointers rather than give them a hand as I feel uncomfortable now staying in Reed's body, besides I'm feeling more and more apart from the team being their "ghost" and staying in the shadow of The Fantastic Four.

"Emmet" - called out Doom entering the penthouse making Jagger turn from me and started to bark at him mad he looked at the dog without much care - "come on Emmet, I know you must be here" - he tried again

"Ok Victor, I'm here, what do you want?" - I say sighing knowing that I can't escape him forever about whatever he wants to talk

"How you been feeling?" - asked Doom

"Except for still being a ghost? I'm good, what about you?" - I ask as I see he is still wearing a bandage covering a part of his head

"I'm fine, listen I want to talk to you about the little project that Storm have going on" - said Doom with a look that seems concern but I'm not buying it

"The machine he is building with Reed to recreate the storm effect?" - I ask

"Why aren't you helping them? I think they need a better engineer on it than Richards, since he is not much of an engineer" - said Doom as matter of fact

"Because I can't get my hands on anything and I don't like being inside Reed's body for too long, but he knows enough to do it" - I explain

"But you are also part of the geniuses on this place, don't you think they are neglecting you a little bit around?" - asked Doom

"I think I can handle being neglected as I can't really help much or can't really do anything" - I said

"You know what I think? They are wasting your potential, but I will not do that" - said Doom - "look I have the rights of applications and patents, whatever they want to do belongs to me" - he explained

"But they are not done with the machine" - I said confused

"Which is precisely the point, analysis is over, it's time for action" - stated Doom - "my men could have mass-produced this by now" - he said
