The next night
Viktor was washing dishes when he received a call.
He picked up the phone and said "New York Police Department." Tony replied "Ha ha. I found out about Killian. This guy's using Extremis as bombs. A classic textbook bad guy." Viktor continued washing dishes while squeezing the phone between his ear and shoulder as he replied "Trying to take over the world? Typical…"
He paused and said "Can you do me a favor? I heard that Extremis can regenerate limbs, is that true?" Tony replied "Uh.. Yeah. Saw it with my own eyes." Viktor licked his lips and said "I want to swallow A.I.M and the Extremis research. I want it all, can you get it for me?"
Tony fell silent for a moment before saying "This stuff is extremely dangerous-" Viktor said quickly "I know but there are too many pros. If I can fix the serum and stabilize the heat factor before changing the application of the drug to regenerative properties, it can change the entire Medical scene! There are too many applications to this miracle drug, blowing people up like bombs is one of the most retarded uses!"
Tony was silent and Viktor explained "I know what you're worried about, but trust me. I wouldn't use it on myself or my family. I like being a normal person, you know? It's so peaceful. I don't have to run East, West, North, and South fighting bad guys all day… Tell you what, we can work together on it if you want."
Tony hesitated before finally saying "I'll think about it. Don't be angry with me, I've seen first hand what this can do. Forget about the human bombs, just giving a stabilized version will make Super Soldiers with Fire powers!"
Viktor paused and thought about it before saying "Alright, but just so you know, I really don't want to become a fire breathing person… Also, I suspect that it has much more potential that just Fire people! This research can be endless! This is something HUGE, Tony. Just give it a little more thought, nothing was made evil in this world, people just use it for evil purposes."
Tony snorted softly and said "I'll think about it a bit more, how about that?" Viktor chuckled and said "Let me know." Tony replied "Yep." before hanging up.
Viktor put the phone down and continued cleaning while humming.
2 days later
Viktor was sitting on the couch with Emma as Cordelia sat on the sofa.
Hazel was here too and Winston was 'on a business trip', Christian was here as well, without Bobby.
Apparently they broke up again.
Christian said that it was because Bobby thought he wasn't gay anymore.
Viktor didn't know how that worked, maybe sometimes he felt gay and sometimes he didn't?
To be perfectly honest with you, Viktor was pretty sure if you liked dick then you were gay… He didn't really know how you were gay one day and not the next…
But hey! What does he know?
He doesn't like men at the end of the day…
The Frost family, minus Winston of course, were celebrating Christmas together. Emma even flew over her mother to come join them.
Viktor looked at everyone and smiled slightly.
The only thing missing was…
He looked sad suddenly but changed his expression in an instant, only one person caught it and it wasn't Emma…
Cordelia handed out gifts, saying "Mom, this one's for you." Hazel was surprised and held the wrapped gift, smiling "Thank you, Viktor." Viktor smiled slightly and scratched his head, laughing, "I hope you like it."
She opened the gift and smiled happily, holding up a knitted sweater. Viktor coughed and explained "I don't know your size so I still have the receipt…" Hazel felt the sweater and smiled happily, "It's just right, thank you."
Viktor added anxiously "I was originally going to give you a Robot housekeeper, but…" Emma glared at him and took over, saying "I didn't think it would be a good idea, Mom." Hazel laughed and nodded "I like this much more." as she folded the sweater and kept it on her lap.
Viktor let out a breath and smiled happily.
Cordelia said "Boooring~ Let's see mine." as she ripped open a huge present.
A long skateboard shaped thing appeared.
Cordelia looked at it in confusion and said "What is this?" turning to Viktor, who explained "It's… Well, get on it and find out." Cordelia stood on the board and it locked her feet before hovering in the air.
Cordelia shouted "It can fly!" Viktor explained "You lean forward and side to side like a normal skateboard but you're flying in the air instead. Oh, uh, like those aliens a while ago." Cordelia's eyes shone and she flew around the house, laughing.
Hazel sighed and looked at Viktor happily.
Emma rolled her eyes and continued handing out gifts.
Christian got an expensive winter coat with polar bear fur and a new gold chain.
As for Emma's gift…
He had absolutely no idea what to give her.
He already gave her everything he owned, they shared all their assets.
After a long time of thinking, he finally figured it out.
Emma stared at the big envelope in confusion, looking at Viktor with doubt. He looked excited and gestured for her to open it. She opened it and read the papers inside before gasping in shock.
She looked at Viktor and said "You-! Is this real?!" Viktor rolled his eyes and smiled "Of course! Did I go through so much trouble just to trick you?" Emma jumped up and kissed him in excitement, turning back to the papers and saying "We have to go see!"
Viktor touched his lips and nodded.
What he finally decided on was a huge plot of land in the heart of the city, since everything was destroyed many businesses couldn't afford to actually rebuild and the government didn't compensate them so they decided to sell their land.
Since it was quite expensive, many people were hesitating.
The area of land that Viktor bought were actually several connected plots, some even across the street, but the area was really too big.
Viktor bought it all up and set up a fence around the empty land, marking it a restricted area as his own company was clearing the rubble.
The land that he bought was slapped with a label "Future School Zone."
That's right!
He bought the land for the future University!
Good guy, this is how to pick up chicks as a rich person, right!?
Step 1: Spend nearly half a billion on land deeds…
Step 2: Win!
Simple. Easy. Effective.
Single men hate him!
Emma was so happy, she almost took off her clothes and said 'Bed me!'
Good thing she didn't.
Her mother was here.
They continued after this episode and everyone got a bunch of gifts.
