Nights of Passion
Tonight's Episode: DOOM!

Location: Unknown
Narrator: "The night is over, and a new day has begun. However, this goes unnoticed by Reed Richards. The smartest man alive awoke to find himself tied and gagged, restraint by advanced technology which kept him from using his powers. Now, as he waits to find out where he is going, he wonders just what in the world is going on..."
"Richards, good morning. How are you feeling?"
The Super Skrull's harsh voice echoed in the metal hull of the advanced Skrull warship. Reed Richards merely stares back, his glare burning through the skrull.Â
"Come on Richards. Enjoy this Earthly Morning.", the Skrull began to smile, "It's be your last..."
"DESTINATION: REACHED", announced the computer.Â
"Whoops, too late Richards. It's time."
The Super Skrull turned around and began to shut off the warship. Behind him, a desperate man made a desperate game.
"Richards...", the Skrull began.
He didn't finish. At that moment, Reed broke free from his restraint and delivered a superpowered punch to the Skrull's head.
Reed had perfect aim, and he struck a nerve, one only he knew, that knocked the skrull out in one hit.Â
"Got to find the others.", he muttered, as he opened the ship's main hatch.
Reed stepped out, and gasped.Â
"Welcome, Dr. Richards. I'm glad you made it..."

Location: X-Mansion
Narrator: "Now the scene shifts. Where once there stood a grand school full of hope and acceptance, now lies a bed of graves, and pools of blood..."
"Rogue?", Sunfire asks. Before him, the young mutant stands, her eyes look in his direction, but seem cloudy and unfocused. A few seconds later, she faints.
Meanwhile, Sunfire had dug out another mutant, the one who had called him, but to his dismay, found that she was ripped in two. He knew she wouldn't make it.
Despite this, the brave mutant reached down, grabbed both her pieces, and slung her over his shoulder.Â
Looking back, he picked up Rogue and did the same.
"Where are we going?", Rogue asked. She was drifting in and out of consciousness, and was taking advantage of her limited time.
Sunfire remained silent. Then, as he began to walk through the destroyed ruins, he said, "To New York. We'll need help to defeat Apocalypse. Maybe the Avengers..."
Rogue tried to say something, but the pain was too much. She passed out once more.Â
A few hours later, she woke up again. Raising her hand up to her face, she brushed her hair out of her face and looked around.
"Where are we?"
Sunfire was startled by her voice, but quickly regained himself. He wasn't used to company while he flew.
In a quiet voice he responded.
"New York."

Location: Latveria
"We're gonna die, aren't we?"
Ben Grimm looked over at Johnny Storm, but said nothing. To Johnny, this was worse that saying yes.
The duo had recently been captured by Arcade, and now found themselves in a large circular room, waiting.
At the far end of the room, an open door taunted them. In their current condition, they could barely move their necks.
Escape was impossible.Â
The heroes were soon lost in thought, each with widely different last wishes. Then, they heard a clanking sound coming from the hallway, both stared anxiously.
"Doom...", The Human Torch muttered. His eyes burned with a fiery hatred. Besides him, Ben did the same.Â
"Yes! It is I, Dr. Doom!", Dr. Doom shouted out. His metal armor continued to clank as he walked up to them.
"Wearing a size to big, Victor?", Ben replied. He struggled with his bonds, trying to break free.Â
"Silence! Doom will not tolerate being talked to like that! In fact, Doom will punish you severely for saying that!", shouted Dr. Doom.Â
Doctor Doom raised up his hands. "Ooka! Buuga! By the Ear of Tomatto!"
The Human Torch closed his eyes. Ben murmured a silent prayer. Soon, Doom's magic would turn them into rabbits, send them to another dimension, or worse.
They waited. And waited. And waited.
".... Dang it. Didn't work."
By now, Dr. Doom was wondering what he did wrong. In fact, he even pulled out a Magic for Villains book.
"Vic?", Ben asked.Â
"Hold on...", Doom replied. He continued to flip through the book.Â
"Y'know what, forget it. I'm not really Dr. Doom. I'm much handsomer.", the man replied. He reached up for his metal mask, and removed it.Â
"Oh no...", Ben muttered.Â
Johnny rolled his eyes.Â

"It is I, Deathstroke! Wait no, I mean, Deadpool!"
-----------------------------------------------------
Location: DC HQ
Narrator: "Again, we look elsewhere. Now, we're in DC. Here, Alan Moore and his faithful Watchmen face their toughest enemies, the DC Writers!"
"Get ready to go down Moore!", the writers announced. Quick as lightining, they leapt down, surrounding the group.Â
"Back off, freaks.", Rorschach replied. He jumped forward and tackled one, besides him, Nite-Owl attacked another. The last one was brought down by the Comedian.Â
"I'm taking back my works.", Alan replied, as they struggled with his creations. Completely ignoring their warnings, he rushed up to a large metallic door.Â
"This must be where they keep the rights.", Silk Spectre said.Â
Moore nodded. He then opened the door.Â
"Darn you Moore!", the writers cried out. Yet their voices went unnoticed by Moore. Before him, stood a hole.Â

A hole in space & time....
-----------------------------------------------
Narrator: "Will Reed survive? What happened to New York? Where are the Avengers?! What is Deadpool doing here?! Will Alan get his rights back?! And what is that hole in space and time going to do?!! Tune in next week, to find out!"
