Chereads / Superman in the Marvel / Chapter 13 - Can't you knock

Chapter 13 - Can't you knock

Jagnar couldn't help but be annoyed, shouting at them, "Can't you knock?"

Reed's eyes locked onto Sue, clad in a shirt with bare legs, her piercing glare mirroring her indignation.

Thoughts raced through her mind, suspecting that their unexpected intrusion was somehow connected to her presence with Jagnar.

"What the fuck are you doing here?" Johnny exclaimed, unable to hide his shock and confusion. Sue fired back, her voice tinged with anger, "I can ask you the same damn thing."

Reed intervened, his tone weighted with purpose. "We are here for that kid," he stated matter-of-factly.

Sue's anger flared even more, her voice was laced with disbelief. "What?"

Ben stepped forward, attempting to provide context. "He isn't a normal kid," he interjected.

Reed chimed in, further complicating matters, "And he robbed a bank."

Sue's gaze shifted towards Jagnar, her frustration and curiosity colliding.

Jagnar remained silent.

The revelation hung in the air, and the tension was palpable.

Jagnar stood before Susan as she questioned him. He started speaking, "I did not steal money from the bank. I just robbed the place where the money was printed."

"What's the problem here? I don't understand." Aren't I sending the money again into the market?"

Susan listened intently, taking a seat on the bed, trying to comprehend the gravity of his actions.

Doom, always curious and intrigued by displays of power, spoke up. "Now we have seen what you can do. Tell us exactly what you're capable of."

Jagnar turned to Doom, a hint of defiance in his voice. "Why should I answer you, metal head? Oh, my apologies, I meant metal man."

Johnny chuckled, Ben looked at him. Reed, however, kept his gaze fixed on Susan and asked, "Susan, why are you here?"

Susan couldn't help but react to Reed's question with a tinge of sarcasm. "And now you care?" Reed's lips pursed as he redirected his attention to Jagnar.

He spoke with a tone of authority, "Listen, kid, the military is waiting outside. Come with us quietly."

Doom, ever the manipulator, interjected, "Don't listen to him. They'll take you and turn you into a lab rat."

At the mention of a lab rat, Jagnar's expression changed. In an instant, he moved at lightning speed, grabbing Doom by the neck. The sight stunned all four of them, witnessing Jagnar disappear and reappear before Dr. Doom's very eyes.

Johnny exclaimed in disbelief, "Holy shit, how did he do that?" Susan rose from the bed, her surprise mingling with a sense of concern.

Jagnar's voice took on a dangerous tone as he addressed Dr. Doom. "Dr. Doom, or should I say Victor von Doom, aren't your intentions quite similar?" Doom struggled to free himself, attempting to electrocute Jagnar with his gauntlet. 

Jagnar was electrocuted and sent flying towards the room's wall, crashing into it.

Jagnar got up from the rubble and shot up towards Doom, and caught him by the throat, tightening his grip on him.

Seeing Jagnar's aggression and realizing the danger, Reed shouted, "Listen, kid, you're killing him!"

Susan, her eyes wide with alarm, joined in pleading, "Jagnar, please stop. We don't want to harm you."

"Susan, I don't want to hurt you too," Jagnar said, his gaze fixed on her. His words carried a mix of sincerity and concern, making Susan hesitate for a moment. However, she knew that her duty was to protect her friends and prevent any further escalation.

Ben charged at Jagnar, his massive fist raised, ready to strike. But to his surprise, Jagnar effortlessly intercepted his punch, displaying an incredible level of power and control. Tilting his head, Jagnar spoke calmly, "Ben, now be a good guy and lay still," trying to reason with them. He then kicked him in the stomach, which sent him flying away and crashing into the wall, breaking the entire wall.

Reacting swiftly, Susan created a force field, pushing against Jagnar and attempting to force him back.

At the same time, Reed stretched his elongated arms, attempting to ensnare Jagnar and lock him in place. Johnny, already engulfed in flames, created a blazing inferno, surrounding Jagnar, hoping to disrupt his concentration and limit his ability to breathe.

Jagnar let out a sigh, seemingly unfazed by their combined efforts. With a swift motion, he released his grip on Dr. Doom, freeing him from his hold. Turning his attention towards the four of them, he spoke with a hint of disappointment in his voice.

"People, believe me, you don't want to stand in my way," Jagnar warned, his tone laced with a mix of determination and resignation. The room fell silent as tension hung in the air.
