I'm feeling generous, here's Chap. 11 
------------------------------
Chapter 11; Neutral
------------------------------
Previously...
Hasch has agreed to take back his family's company. A dark vigilante combs the streets of L.A.
Manager: Big...creature...acid.
Ricky: The acid contains DNA.
Mike: You mean to tell me it's alive?
Flying to the creature, 'Calm down'.
William: Oh god...what--have I done?
=========================
William, shaken up, scared, and stumbling, looks up to see Lectrohm.
William: Oh god...what--have I done?
Ohm: Are you ok?
William: I think so...I could see everything I was doing, but I couldn't stop myself.
Ohm: What happened before that, at Aero-Labs?
William: Aero-Labs--Oh my...Ted... (His head drops) There was--I couldn't do anything, I tried so hard.
Ohm: There's nothing we can do here, let's go back to a friend's place. I think he might be able to help you.
Ohm flies out to the Police Captain, who is somewhat dumbfounded.
Police Captain: How...where...what happened?
Ohm: That creature took over a man. I think he has it under control now, but I'm going to take him to a friend to see if he can help him.
Police Captain: He won't be a threat and go melting everything he touches will he?
Ohm: I doubt it, he's pretty stable now.
Ohm flies back and wraps William in an energy shield and flies of into the city. Calling Stan Lee on a private number, he tells him the whole story of the laboratory, the acid, and the control. Lee tells him to arrive in the back of the building and place tells him to stand on the red square. Ohm understands and heads off toward the building. When they arrive, Ohm asks William to stand on the red square, Ohm sands right next to him. The ground shakes and the elevator they're standing on heads down slowly, they enter a huge dome room at least 15 feet high. William breaks off and goes to the center as Ohm heads to the "press box" of the room where Stan Lee is waiting.
Stan Lee: If everything you say is true, than he needs to be able to control himself in order to protect himself and others around him. Mr. William? Can you hear me? (Lee says into the speakerphone)
William: Yes, yes I can hear you. What is this?
Stan Lee: As you know, you need to control your acidity level. First, we need to know what causes the creature to emerge, do you know?
William: Emotions, I think.
Stan Lee: Not unheard of. I'm going to try a new program simply called, "Stress". (A small hole in the ground opens up with a helmet with wires connected to it on a stand.) When you put on the helmet, and I switch this switch, your deepest secrets and incidents will refill your mind causing the stress to make creature to emerge. What I hope you will do, is try to control this by knowing ahead of time, consciously, what's going to happen. If this isn't ok with you, please say so now.
William: No, this is something I need to do. (He says as he puts on the helmet). Do it.
Stan Lee: Ok then, 3...2...1...
The alarm rings as power is given to the helmet. Images form all over the dome, of when William was a child, a teenager, a man and his accidents days ago. His entire life flows through him like his tears. 'AAAAAAHHHHHGGGGG!' William yells in agony as he begins to glow, his body begins to melt the stand he's on along with the helmet.
Ohm: Control it Will! Don't let it control you!
William grits his teeth as he drops to his knees, and grabbing his head. 'NOOOO!' He yells at himself, and then in an explosion of acid, he falls to the ground. Ohm flies to William being careful not touch him.
Ohm: Will?
William: I got it; I know...how to control it. (He says as he slips into unconsciousness)
William wakes up hours later in the guest bed of the house. Looking around he sees Ohm on his left, the butler in the doorway, and Stan Lee on the right.
William: How long have I been out?
Ohm: A while, how are you feeling?
William: Better, I think I can control it now.
He holds his hand up and focuses on it, causing it to change shape and color into the acid complex. Lee hands him a block of super heavy and dense metal.
Stan lee: Can you melt this?
William places his hand underneath the block his fingers turn acidic as they burn little crevices into the block. He taps the block after a minute revealing the Marvel Logo he carved inside.
Ohm: Wow.
Stan Lee: Amazing.
After a talk and a meal, the three are on the front doorstep about to say their goodbyes when William decides to only use his powers when he needs to.
William: Thank you two for everything.
Stan Lee: It was our pleasure.
Ohm: Even if you want to stay unknown, I might need your help in the future. (He hands him the same lightning bolt communicator he gave to Pyra) It's also good if you are ever in trouble, I'll sense it and be over almost instantly.
William: Alright, thanks again.
The butler opens the door to the car as William gets in. As they drive off, Ohm says good bye and thanks Stan Lee for everything.
Stan Lee: It looks like you have the basis of a Justice League.
Ohm: Ha ha, looks like it huh. Thanks again. (He waves as he flies off)
