Y/N's POV:

Walking out of the quinjet, I was greeted by Doctor Doom.

He was a head shorter than what I expected, but I kept my guard up.

"You must be the agent sent here to negotiate", his voice said metallically, "Allow me to take you to my master".

His master?

Wait. SHIELD intel did mention that Victor Von Doom had Doom bots but I didn't realise that they were smaller robot versions on himself. I guess he just likes looking at himself.

I followed the Doom bot off the roof down an elevator before it led me through multiple twists and turns, stopping at a large door that was guarded by another two Doom bots, both of which were bigger than the one that lead me here.

"You may enter", the Doom bot said, opening the door for me.

"Thank you", I replied, unsure if I was meant to be polite to his robot copies.

The doors were closed behind me while I continued onwards, it was a throne room, but it was definitely ominous and didn't scream 'royal heritage' at all.

I walked towards the throne, stopping a few metres away from it.

There was silence for a while before Doctor Doom spoke.

"Are you waiting for me to invite you to bow?"

"No", I answered, "I'll bow down when respect is required. You aren't royal and you aren't officially the ruler of Latvia, or anything for that matter. The only other reason I'd bow down to you is if you did something to earn my respect".

He stood up slowly, clenching his fists before he sat back down, "I've taken this country without any help, I could destroy you in an instant".

"But you won't", I told him, "Because SHIELD deals with threats more powerful than you weekly, you have no idea what we're capable of, but we know what you're capable of, we've taken tests from the first time the Fantastic Four defeated you, SHIELD knows so much more about you than you realise. You won't destroy me because you know SHIELD will legally be able to bring this mansion crumbling down on you. The only reason we came to negotiate is to see if we could find some way of avoiding conflict. Under certain conditions, we'd have been able to let you lead this country as long as you followed the UN's Declaration of Human Rights, the only other alternative to bringing you down through physical conflict was to take you down legally. But if you aren't interested in a peaceful way out of this..."

"All I have to do is make sure that I follow the UNDHR?", Doctor Doom questioned.

"If you sign the documents I give you, yes".

"Do you have them on you now?"

"Yes, I do".

After I gave him the documents to sign, he gave them back for me to take to SHIELD.

"The second part of our operation is starting now", Mr Fantastic's voice said through the comms.

Second part?

"What does he mean by the second part?", Doom asked, his powers allowing him to intercept the signal and hear it as well.

"I- I don't know".

"Beginning extraction now", Invisible Woman's voice said, crackling.

"You're a liar", he accused, pressing a button on his throne.

The doors behind us opened, revealing the three Doom bots from before.

"You two, find Reed and his associates", he said to the bigger ones, "And you, crush this disrespectful SHIELD agent".

I panicked.

There wasn't much I could do in this situation.

I could fight the robot, but I wouldn't be able to make it out with Doctor Doom still here. I could try running, but I knew there were defences all throughout the mansion. And freezing is just a bad idea.

"Wait!", I called out to him as the Doom bot approached, "I have higher-ups looking at my vitals now, if anyone else or I die, SHIELD will burn this place to the ground".

"SHIELD will have to get through my defences first", the villain replied, "And if they manage to get through, it'll be too late, you'll all leave in body bags".

I rolled my eyes, "Fine then".

Pulling out the icer, I shot Doom a few times before pulling out one of the custom stun batons, extending it while I dodged multiple laser blasts from the Doom bot's hands and shocking it, causing it to shut down.

"Doom is after you all and I need an extraction ASAP", I said into the comms, hurriedly searching through hallways and trying to remember the way I had come in to get out, "Does anyone copy?"

Silence.

"We copy", Danny's voice assured, "Sending in Human Torch and The Thing now".

I walked cautiously out of the building, expecting more Doom bots but I didn't find much resistance, it must have all been focussed on the couple.

Reaching where the quinjet had landed, I saw there were four Doom bots there. It'd have been very difficult for me to have taken them all down myself.

Luckily, I didn't have to take them down myself because Human Torch was flying in, carrying The Thing, which is no minor feat.

Human Torch dropped his fellow superhero just near the quinjet, the Doom bots turned their attention to him as Johnny flew over them and to me, "Are you okay, Sunshine?"

"Sunshine?", I replied, "It'd make more sense to call you that".

"You can call me that anytime", he winked, before flying towards them and melting one bot down altogether.

Luckily, he had left before he would have seen my slight blush, which I was quick to hide. I'm on my second mission and I'm already getting flustered around two superheroes; Danny and Johnny.

With the help of Human Torch and Thing, the Doom bots were easy to dispatch.

"Take Thing with you", Johnny smiled, "I'll fly separately, two moving targets are gonna make it harder for Doom to shoot us all down".

I nodded, getting into the quinjet with The Thing right behind me, sitting in a seat while I got in the cockpit and started to take off.

"On the way back now", I said into the coms, "Thing and Human Torch are both coming back too".

"Copy that", Danny replied, his voice sounded somewhat strained.

"We're on our way back too", Mr Fantastic told us through the coms.

"Copy", Danny replied.

I realised as we were getting out of range of Doom's lasers and dodging so we couldn't get hit my them, I was angry. Now that things were calming down, I was furious.

I trusted Danny and he hadn't even told me the mission. Everyone knew the real mission except for me, which sucked.

Sorry it's taken so long to publish this. I've been off Wattpad for a while. I can't see myself finishing this story anytime soon though :/
