βThis changes nothing between us, Richards!β
βI think it does. Just a little bit.β
Doom:Β I see a lot of your father in you.
Valeria:Β I was worried you were going to say I reminded you ofΒ you.
Doom:Β Oh, you are stern, like me. Yet you are compassionate andΒ weakΒ like your father.
Valeria:Β Shut up.
Doom:Β But only one of us could bequeath you that confidence.
I wanted Richards humbled. I wanted to end the arrogant way he has always treated me β ever since our days in college! But moreβ¦ I wanted him to see me declared ruler of the world!

Valeria:Β Iβll get you some clothes that fit your standard.
Johnny: Is that�
Valeria:Β Yeah. Itβs my dadβs spare uniform.
Doom:Β Absolutely not!
Valeria:Β Itβs either this or you walk naked.
Von Doom looked Reed up and down, as if trying to take the measure of him, and then grinned broadly. It all seemed a game to him somehow. It was becoming clear to Ben, however, that Reed was more than capable of playing that same game if need be.
