Doc Seismic had been destroyed on a spiritual, ntal, and physical level... making people think that perhaps it was too much, even for a psychopath like him. However, Allen couldn't afford to show rcy to a supervillain who had chosen this path of his own will.
Allen wouldn't heal him; it would be absurd to do so, but leaving him there writhing in pain seed too inhumane. So, Allen placed him in his inventory and set out to take him to his personal doctor.
...
The specialized hospitals in Chicago are so of the most absurd places in the world, receiving guys dressed in Spandex and colorful costus with all kinds of injuries.
In a private room, a doctor wiped the sweat off his forehead and then sat down exhausted. It was the kind of exhaustion you get after a fourteen-hour surgery or sothing similar. However, the reality was that he and ten other n were exhausted from carrying a huge guy dressed like an elephant. This villain, who obviously wasn't a parody of Spider-Man's Rhino, and wasn't defeated regularly by Invincible like Rhino by Spider-Man, lay on a bed in front of the doctor.
The doctor looked at the man with disdain. He was a supervillain, but as a doctor, he had to set aside his feelings and be ethical in his work(A/N: What a joke!). His job was to save lives, not judge or condemn; others would take care of that.
"Seems like you're busy, Dr. House."
Out of nowhere, a door that wasn't there before opened beside him. This phenonon would alarm many people, but Dr. House felt nothing but disdain. It was clear that this wasn't the first ti it had happened and that he didn't like what was about to co through that door.
"Unfortunately, not as much as I will be now," the man looked at Allen with a scowl. House owed a lot to Allen for curing his leg and freeing him from constant pain, but this guy took advantage of it to make him work more. Rembering that Allen has been in this world for more than half a year, this kind of thing is not uncommon.
Allen shrugged, pretending to be innocent and ignoring House's comnts. Instead, he opened his inventory to take Seismic out. When the man appeared before them, House knew what was coming.
"Is he dead?" he asked with hope, knowing that if he was dead, he could avoid all of this.
"He shouldn't be..."
House stood up, walked over to the man, and kicked him a bit to check if he was alive. When the man trembled while groaning in pain, Dr. House clicked his tongue.
"What kind of doctor are you?" Allen looked at him in disbelieving shock.
"One stupid enough to be your doctor, Walker!"
"Hey, you say that like I'm a monster or sothing."
"Ah... soone... kill please... argh!" Seismic's agonizing moans caused a silence to fall between the two n.
"Sorry, Walker, now I see you're a saint," said House with evident sarcasm.
Allen frowned, "That man is a supervillain..."
House mocked, "And that's why it's okay to practice torture on him, right? I get it; this is how justice works today~ it seems perfect to ."
"You don't have to be sarcastic. Next ti, sir, I'll just shoot my patients because I'm too lazy to deal with them..."
"That only happened three tis... and they were villains, you know I'm not going to argue with you about delicate and NECESSARY procedures to make a diagnosis."
...
"HOUSE!"
The door opened, and a very angry man approached House as if he wanted to hit him. House stepped behind Allen to use him as a shield.
"Wilson, you wouldn't want to hit in front of a distinguished guest, would you?"
Wilson is another doctor at this hospital who also knows Allen and knows he often brings patients to House, most of them supervillains.
"Mr. Walker, would you allow to hit my friend?"
Allen smiled politely at such a gentleman and teleported to the side, "Oh please, don't stop on my account, Dr. Wilson."
House looked at Allen with resentnt, but Wilson grabbed him by the clothes, and when House saw that this was serious, he raised his hands.
"At least can I know why I'm going to be hit?"
"You don't have any mory?"
"The problem is I have too many."
Wilson let go of House, "You gave elephant tranquilizers to a man!"
House nodded shalessly, "First of all, he's a supervillain, and second of all, the guy kept shouting that he would kill an Invincible."
"BUT ELEPHANT TRANQUILIZERS?!"
House pointed at the bed where the villain lay, "The guy was dressed like an elephant. Aren't you the one who always tells to respect the patients' identity? Even if they say they are elephants or helicopters..."
"Yes... but..."
House crossed his arms, "I just made him happy, Wilson."
Allen scoffed at seeing that House was going to win the argunt, "What a shaless guy, and I'm the monster?"
"Ugh..." Seismic complained on the floor, and Allen kicked him to knock him out again.
Wilson and House looked at him incredulously.
"What?...my job isn't to forgive, that's God's job. Mine is to send them to him."
House shook his head indignantly, "Am I supposed to be the monster?"
Wilson, having put aside the issue that brought him here, noticed Doc Seismic on the floor. He crouched down and began examining him. Soon, he paled when he saw the state Doc Seismic was in.
"I need help, and bring morphine, a lot!"
House looked at Allen calmly, "What did you do to him, Walker?"
"Well, do you rember that magic..."
"Oh God... Testicular Torsion?"
"Yeah... I... I used the standard version to defeat him and the evolved version to make him never do bad things again... I'm not proud of it, House."
House made a pained move while protecting his groin and taking a step back. His eyes seed to scream at Allen: bloodthirsty beast, rciless monster, evil entity—in every possible way.
Allen was offended, "While I'm a son of a bitch, whatever, can you heal him?"
House stopped joking and watched Wilson carry Seismic and put him on a gurney next to two nurses.
"At this point, he's just in pain, so I think the best option is to cut off the source of his pain..."
"Huh?" Allen blinked unable to understand what House was referring to at first. "Cut off...you want to cut off his balls?!"
"...It would be the most human thing to do."
"Oh my god are you crazy? Are you insane? Can't they just untwist them and be done with it?"
Allen looked at House in horror as if watching Hannibal or Jefry Damner eat a person. While he is the cause of this, it doesn't an they should turn Doc Seismic into a eunuch.
"I won't accept it, House. He deserves so consideration after suffering so much. I can be a bastard, but I'm not—"
"Relax, I just suggested the cheaper option because surgery to fix his balls would be five tis more expensive."
"Cut them..." Allen said with no reaction whatsoever.
"Didn't you just say..."
Allen pinned House against the wall, his eyes bloodshot like a psychopath.
"Five tis more? Five tis more?! Are you going to put a golden mber on him or what?! Don't fuck with ! He's not my wife, not my girlfriend, not my lover, not even a woman. He's nothing to ; I'm not paying five tis more; just cut what you need to cut!"
"Okay... relax... I already knew."
Allen released House and apologized. Knowing Allen, House didn't take it badly and accepted the apology. As they left the hospital, Allen looked at the sky. Today, he had just saved a man, he should be proud of. It was certain that Seismic would rember this act of kindness for the rest of his life.
....
Mark Grayson flew through the sky with Amber in his arms. Since she had supported him during the ti when he had to deal with the hatred of the world, their relationship had improved on many levels. At that mont, he rembered how his father used to take his mother around the world, and he did the sa with Amber.
However, their good mont was interrupted by Cecil, who told him that he was now facing a crisis. At first, Mark refused, but it was a crisis that put the world in danger.
Aquarus was the monarch of Atlantis, the underwater ho of his semi-humanoid race. Although the true origins of his race are unknown, Aquarus and his queen, Aquaria, had ruled the underwater kingdom for many years, through both dynamic and turbulent tis.
With their help, their people developed matter transportation technologies that allowed them to defeat the deep-sea inhabitants and make contact with the surface world. Over ti, Aquarus joined the Guardians of the Globe as a peacekeeper and representative of his people, while serving with his fellow heroes—or so it was on the surface. But Aquarus grew bored of his kingly life and simply wanted to go out and fight and have fun, until he was killed by Omni-Man.
The news didn't stay on the surface, and of course, the people of Atlantis wanted justice for the death of their king.
Mark stood next to Cecil on the shore, watching the stormy sea.
Cecil frowned, "According to Atlantean law, your father would be condemned for the death of Aquarus, but since he's no longer here, the bla will fall on his closest relative... you."
"You don't want dead, do you, Cecil?" Mark asked incredulously.
"Haha, don't worry," They both looked back and saw Allen enjoying the situation. "According to their laws, they won't kill you since it wasn't directly your fault. Instead, you'll have to marry his widow, Queen Aquaria..."
Invincible ignored Allen and responded nervously to Cecil, "I can't marry, I have a girlfriend! My relationship with Amber finally improved!."
"..." Cecil didn't answer but pointed at Allen with his finger, implying that Allen had a harem.
"I'm not like him."
"Of course, you're not. You couldn't even if you wanted to," Allen teased.
"I wasn't referring to that!" Invincible got annoyed.
Cecil sighed, "Atlantis controls the seas, they threatened to sink the east coast if you don't show up."
Allen patted Invincible's shoulder, "Mark, look on the bright side, you'll be king of the sea, and you'll have a rich wife. I'm sure Amber will understand."
"Goddamn bastard, you're enjoying this, aren't you?"
Allen smiled like a son of a b*tch, "I wouldn't miss your wedding for anything."
Rebecca – Invincible was unlucky, if it were the DC world, the won of Atlantis wouldn't be any different from humans.
Harley – Hahaha.
...
A kind of flying submarine erged from the sea and rose up in front of the three. Inside, there were blue humanoids, but with fish-like heads. These were the people of Atlantis from this world.
Hipólita – They're definitely different from the Atlanteans from our world...
Antiope – Nothing like that redhead who's co several tis asking if you were around, Allen.
Allen coughed, not wanting to touch that subject. Atlantis had always been a mystery to the Chat; every ti it is ntioned, it makes Allen uncomfortable and deflects the topic, and for so reason, it seed like they were looking for him. No one knew if it was out of hate or sothing else.
Cecil turned to leave, saying he had things to do. Invincible sighed, climbed into his "carriage", and Allen accompanied him.
"I'm sorry, but we only need Omni-Man's son."
A guard tried to stop Allen, but soon regretted it and stepped back, scared. Invincible wanted to ask what Allen had done to the rman, but Allen didn't answer.
Allen made a bet in the Chat whether everything would go as in canon or if this ti it would be different and the law would still be in effect.
Tony – Marrying the widow? That doesn't make sense. Surely it'll be the fight with the giant lobster.
Rick – I have faith. I believe Allen has screwed that world enough for everything to change, and Invincible will have to marry her hahaha!
Gwen – Allen, I see you're really happy about Mark's misfortune, but what if the fish queen falls in love with you and wants you to be her groom...
Allen's smile faded, and he lost the desire to go with Invincible.
"On second thought, I have things to do. I have to go..."
"Wait" Invincible grabbed him by the arm.
"What are you doing, brat?..." Allen looked at him with the intent to hurt him if he didn't let go.
"You can hit , but you'll destroy this submarine and kill the Atlanteans..." Mark ca to the sa conclusion that many in the chat and his dolls had: even though Allen was a bastard, he was still handso, so there was a big chance the queen would fall for him and leave Invincible.
"Co on, Walker, you have so many won, what's one more wife?~"
"Brat, she's your new wife. Don't be a coward, take responsibility." Allen crushed Invincible's hand that was holding his arm.
"Urgh..." Invincible felt his fingers breaking, but despite the pain, he didn't let go of Allen. His eyes said everything; he wouldn't let go of Allen even if his hand was destroyed.
"Walker, I know you can open your mind and accept a wife with a fish head!"
"Hey, you're the superhero who saves the world with your sacrifice. Besides, don't underestimate a womanizer like . I'm not a bastard who goes after any woman. There are mutual feelings there."
"So give it a chance, maybe!"
"And hell no. You've always envied . This is your chance to have your second wife!"
The two guards looked at each other. They didn't know what these two were talking about. From their perspective, both were as ugly as blasphemy, and there was no way their beautiful queen would look at them.
...
(Universe ???)
Angstrom Levy looked at an Invincible trapped in a large machine, unable to move. By this point, Angstrom had changed; his head had deford as if his brain had grown multiple tis, fusing with his skull and shoulders.
"It's interesting how you ended up like this, after declaring that you'd conquer the world."
This version of Invincible seed indifferent, still not believing they had been defeated by humans. "They were smart. They ambushed my father with experintal quantum bombs, but they lost half of Europe because of it... they wore out, and they captured when I had to sleep..."
Angstrom looked at this version of Invincible. While he could be useful, the fact that he had been defeated in his universe didn't inspire the sa trust to recruit him.
Even so...
Invincible scoffed, "Haha, fine. Whether you free or the Viltrumites do when they co to Earth..."
"Hold it right there!"
A female version of Donald and one of Cecil appeared, along with a bunch of soldiers in power suits, pointing guns to prevent Invincible from escaping.
"Cecil... maybe you go by Cecilia in this world... you always make the mistake of capturing Viltrumites instead of killing them, and then you pay the price."
"Who are you?!"
"I'm not your problem... if you let take this Invincible, I promise I'll never co back to this world."
"To this world?" Cecilia didn't believe him and shot. Invincible couldn't be freed. Angstrom opened a portal that blocked their way.
Invincible looked at Angstrom suspiciously, "Seems like you hate , so why free ?"
"I don't hate you. I hate a version of you," Angstrom's eyes glead. "The problem I have, the problem we have... goes beyond anything you could imagine. I need everything I can to defeat him... otherwise, my revenge will never co to pass..."
In the original story, Angstrom left this Invincible to his fate, but Allen's existence made him decide to free this version of Invincible.

A/N: Will that mysterious Dr. House show up again? Will there be an awkward wedding? Will Angstrom Levy recruit more than just invincibles? who knows 🍷🗿
