Queens, New York, Earth-616150, Future Foundation HQ, The Next Day – 8:00 AMReed Richards' POV
"Reed, wake up," I hear Cortana's monotonous voice ringing in my ear. I don't want to wake up. I'd really like to sleep in. I probably bought a bed right after I bought this building. I really need it here.
"Give me five more minutes," I said, my voice still thick with sleep.
"There are trucks waiting in front of the door, and an old man with glasses is waiting."I jumped out of bed immediately. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?!" I screamed at her, shocked.
"Because they just arrived, Reed."
I sighed and immediately got dressed. Just blue jeans, a white shirt, white socks, and a pair of Crocs. I took the elevator down to the ground floor. Then I saw him, an old man. He had dark sunglasses on and wore the standard FedEx worker uniform. He looked like Stan Lee. I immediately went to open the door.
"Are you Reed Rickards?" he asked, confused. He looked at his folder, then back at me.
"Yes, that's me," I replied, completely bemused by the situation. It kinda reminded me of the "Tony Stank" scene. "And what's your name, old man?"
"Hah! Young people, no respect for their elders. I'm Stan, kid," he laughed, still amused by my joke.I took out my wallet and handed him $2,000 as a tip. He immediately declined.
"Kid, I can't accept this much!" He looked at me, baffled and confused as to why I'd want to give him $2,000.
"Keep it, old man. I insist. Buy something for your grandkids. I have enough."
"Ehhh… I thank you, kid." He was completely overwhelmed. "I also need your signature for all the goods we brought you." He handed me a pen and the delivery note.I looked through it, and in the meantime, all the workers started to transport everything into the building. Everything was in order. Every piece of furniture was listed, and I could see it being carried inside. So, I signed the note.
2.5 hours later
The workers helped me place all the furniture in their designated spots. I, of course, gave each of them a $500 tip. Then I closed all the doors again and made my way back into the computer room. It was time to begin working on my contingencies.
"Cortana, create a new folder called Green Magical Gypsy."
"Yes, Reed."
"Add:Name: Victor von DoomNickname: Dr. DoomAge: 21King of LatveriaMother: Cynthia von Doom (deceased)Father: Werner von Doom (deceased)Personality/Traits: Arrogant and prideful. Supreme intellect and unshakable will. High paranoia. Hates Dr. Reed Richards.
Contingencies:
1. Reed Richards is the only person who could theoretically beat Dr. Doom intellectually.
2. His greatest weaknesses are his pride and his 'always right' attitude. Exploit those. Trick him into believing he's won, only to strike where he least expects.
3. Keep your advantages hidden. You are not smarter than Dr. Doom. Always be prepared for the unexpected. He can create almost anything with technology and he may learn magic.
4. Rescue Doom's mother. She is in Hell with Mephisto. Don't be afraid of Mephisto. He may look intimidating, but he's not a genius. You could trick him to get Doom's mother soul and resurrect her.
5. Sleep with his mother, all for emotional damage.( Let Johnny Storm do it.)
6. If you can't beat Doom and Reed Richards is dead, first try resurrecting me. If that fails, try cloning me. If that also fails, create a task force made of Tony Stark, Spider-Man, and Stephen Strange."
I then proceeded to create other contingencies for Trask, Namor, Sabretooth, Galactus, Thanos, Magneto, Mister Sinister and many more. But I know that these contingencies aren't omnipotent.After all were done, it had become late, and I went to sleep.
Next Day
I woke up at 8:00 AM because of Cortana. I went through my morning routine. Breakfast was delivered at 9:00.Now I'm starting to build my own Doom Bots. They will, of course, be controlled by Cortana, but I'll have a failsafe switch always on me. If they get hacked or if Cortana gets corrupted, I'll be able to fry them immediately.The "Doom Bots" will be my workforce and security system. They'll most likely build all my money-making devices, like the game consoles for the games I will let Cortana develop.
These bots will be wirelessly connected to Cortana by a custom-built chip. They are not EMP-secure because they need unstable molecule shielding. Their bodies will be made of metal, but later on, I'll upgrade them with either Adamantium or Vibranium, which I'll steal from Wakanda.Each bot will have a battery that lasts a week before needing a recharge, but that's no problem for me. I've create a charging tube from the Fallout games where the bots can supercharge themselves. Each Robot will have its own socket.
Queens, New York, Earth-616150, Future Foundation HQ, After 15 Hours
"So, Cortana, can you move every robot?" I asked, curious if any of the robots weren't functioning properly. But as I looked around, every single one raised its hand."Good," I concluded. "Cortana, start coding the games Minecraft and Grand Theft Auto V, and begin building the 'Future Sphere' consoles with the help of the robots."
The consoles are made using my upgraded GPUs, CPUs, and RAM. I designed them to generate income, because right now, I'm burning through money fast."And Cortana, call a marketing agency later. Choose the one with the best reviews—they should market our games and consoles."
"Understood, Reed."
Now I'm bored. What should I do? Mmmmh...Should I ask Cortana to find Shang-Chi? Maybe Peter Parker or Jean Grey? Maybe Susan and Johnny Storm?But she's already handling things well. I don't want to overstrain her... as if she even could be, heh.Maybe I should relax a bit. Buy a Ferrari or a Lamborghini and just cruise through the city. I've always wanted to drive one.But no, I should make this building secure first. Work comes before pleasure.
Maybe I'll create a gravity chamber like in Dragon Ball. It could serve as a training room after I get the Super Soldier Serum. I could even set up traps using gravity throughout the building.Imagine Doom walking into the building, only to get hit with 50x gravity or more. His face would be priceless.But I'll need to build graviton emitters that can amplify Bose-Einstein condensates into coherent gravitons and generate controlled gravitational fields. These will only affect the building itself and not Earth's gravity as a whole.
The system will use electromagnetic fields to localize the effect. I just need a few of my remaining resources. I could actually build it and start training like in Dragon Ball, and Ben would absolutely lose his mind.Later, I'll create smaller gravity emitters with biometric scanners that analyze a person's physiology to determine if they need heavier gravity applied in order to immobilize them.
6 Hours Later
Sleep? I don't know what that is.I am the bone of my coffee. Sugar is my body, and caffeine is my blood. I haven't slept in hours...I think I'm starting to hallucinate after building all these traps and the gravity chamber.Fortunately, Cortana hasn't started talking to me.
Is she finished with programming the games? Or is she still working on the consoles?
"Cortana?"
"Yes, Reed?"
"Did you finish the games?" I ask, completely sleep-deprived. "Yawn..." I even yawned.
"Yes. I finished the games. I'm now just producing the gaming consoles."
"Great. Wake me up in ten hours."I feel so sleepy. My eyes are heavy, and I drift off to sleep.
11 Hours Later
I'm well rested now and went through my morning routine. I can start the day perfectly.I should ask Cortana to look into Jean Grey. She has a multiversal chicken living in her body, and a bald-headed mind rapist should not be the one teaching her, it smells like disaster.And the Nazi Jew that controls metal, should also keep his hands off her, or she might blow up Earth completely.
"Cortana, look out for a girl named Jean Grey. I want all basic information about her, her friends, and where she is right now."
"Understood, Reed.Jean Grey. 3 years old. Mother: Elaine Grey. Father: John Grey. She is their only child. The family lives in Queens next to the Parker family. The families are good friends. Peter and Jean sometimes play together. But both are still 3 years old…"
"Wait! Stop! Stop!" I interrupted her immediately. What I just heard was unbelievable."You're telling me that Spider-Man lives next to the Phoenix!? What the heck is this universe!?"I'm totally shocked, so much so that I don't know what to say.
"Cortana, keep an eye on both families. I want to know everything about them. If anyone even looks in their direction weirdly, I want a full investigation. Make both of them Priority Red for now."
"Understood, Reed."
I now have visual feeds outside both of their houses, but nothing unusual is happening.Reading through the Parkers' file: Peter's parents died in a plane crash two years ago. He now lives with his uncle.He attends daycare in Queens. His uncle was in the military for two years, stationed in Germany for one. Now he works in construction.Aunt May is a full-time housewife. They're not in any major financial trouble right now, that's good.
Today will be my chill day. It's been three days since I last worked out, and I should really test the gravity chamber.

Author here:
I know, I know. Jean will be his girlfriend!?!Yep, I chose her because I think it would be funny to see. There are so many fanfics using MJ, Felicia, or Gwen. I just wanted to do something different. And hey she is a Redhead.
But trust me, let me cook their relationship. I hope you'll love it. And with all the things happening to Peter, he deserves a stronger girlfriend.And yes, she will destroy his pelvis.Do I care that I'm taking a powerhouse away from the X-Men?NO, I DON'T.Does it create more problems for Reed and Peter? Yes, but I already said this won't be a completely Earth-616 or MCU-based story.
And Fuck Scott Summers. He will get himself beaten by Peter if he only looks at her. And yes Mister Sinister may hate it but what he gonna? Reed is watching him.
Now, we're jumping ahead with a 1–2 month time skip. We'll see Reed meeting Benjamin again at the university, and after that, they'll head to Greenland.
Do you want to see some reactions to Reed becoming a millionaire? Like, for example, Nick Fury—what does he think about this Reed? How does he try to spy on him?
Or do have a specific other POV that you like to see? Maybe Auntie Margaret she sees him as his son?
Maybe throw in some Magneto and X-Men mischief as well.
Maybe S.H.I.E.L.D. asks Reed for help in creating a weapon to stun Magneto or something?
Have a nice day!I hope you liked it!
