It was something that had been bothering him for a while, a question that had been left unanswered and one that he was finally deciding to spend his time on now that he had to build up his resources and wait instead of attacking. Who was the girl who had appeared out of nowhere and integrated herself with his greatest enemies? She was an unknown variable, a puzzle to be solved, a threat to be destroyed. He needed to figure her out so he could properly dispose of her and move onto his real targets.

That would take time and research and since his last defeat, he'd take things slower so that he could do things properly. First, he watched from afar through cameras and finding videos of her exploits. Her flight was unnatural, something that couldn't be explained like how he and the others could be. Then, he had to take readings where he couldn't be caught. It was easy enough, send a small drone out to take the readings during a fight, with everyone distracted enough to not notice yet another spectator to the match. That was when he noticed it. He needed to study her in person, he had to know if the readings were correct.

So he set up a plan. A test run of his newly created Doombots would do nicely. Five points of attack to separate everyone so that he could grab the little insect like a flytrap, snatch her up in such a way that nobody could save her from his grasp. It was a beautiful day for an attack too, bright and sunny with no chance of rain. Donning his mask and outfit, Doom went out with his army of Doombots and waited on a skyscraper for his target to pass on the way to one company of his Doombots. When she arrived, he would be ready.

Making a noise of frustration, Misha tried to pull tighter, do something, anything to get away from Doom before he tossed her back in there and the whole thing started again. Her power fluctuated then, a feeling she had never felt so strongly before, seeming to latch onto the second subject when Doom made contact and she couldn't stop herself in time. Her flight instinct was already in motion and she was pulling away in every way possible despite him having such a good grip on her. It was like some kind of blanket left out in the cold brushing across her skin and then—

And then.

There was nothing around them. Nothing familiar, but perhaps everything. It was like sitting out in the open and watching twilight that never ended no matter which way you looked. Stars were only beginning to shine in the sky but the stars were right there, so close you could reach out and touch their luminescence and be pulled into the vastness hidden inside. It was a calming and mysterious scene, something foreign where there was no air but no trouble to breathe, no gravity or up or down or vertigo. No matter where you went, you were falling in some direction or another and momentum was king, no way to stop your path without outside interference.

It was a nightmare. Thoughts of Doom, escape, ALFRED, anything that could have possibly been tied up in her head simple disappeared in the soft glow of this interspace where everything connected and nothing truly existed. This was the place that had haunted her dreams and tortured her waking hours for three years, the place where she had drifted for an impossible instant and her entire life was taken away. Her whole body had frozen up, her throat had closed on her, and she was already beginning to cry from the wash of emotions completely holding her paralyzed more than any of Doom's shocks ever could. Not this again, not this, anything but this again. She couldn't do this again, she was going to disappear and never be found and there would be nothing left, she wasn't going to survive.

Someone, anyone, everyone. Please. Help.
