Summary: Make fun of a supervillain, get a deathmatch. Not very surprising.
The river warbled pleasantly. It was a fine day.
Saul sat on the riverbank with his fishing rod, barefoot, half-dozing in the last of the evening sun. A fine day. He hadn't a worry in the world except catching his dinner. It was the first day since his return to the city that he hadn't bothered to cast around his power and shroud the area near his house with fog. He felt strong and calm and happy.
The PCD conversation with Doom had left him utterly untroubled. A battle would be welcome at this point. What good was having strength if one didn't use it?
He opened his eyes and smiled at the waning winter sunlight. Let him come. Let any man come.
