Chasing the tesseract

Chapter 47

My heels click along the floor as I March down the hall of the Leaky Cauldron and towards my room, Stephen following closely begins as he shouts my name over and over again.

As I reach my room, I reach into my purse and pull out my keys before I jam them into the lock only to miss the first time and then drop them the second. As I bend down to pick them up, I knock the door open slightly. Clearly I'd left it unlocked. Before Stephen can catch up to me, I grab my keys, push open the door and march inside my room.

"Abi I-," shouts Stephen as he reaches the door only for me to slam it in his face and lock it behind me. Turning around, I lean against the door as I close my eyes and slide down it until I hit the floor and collapse into sobs, my throat burning as I scream loudly.

On the other side of the door, Stephen places his palm against the door and he rests his forehead against it. "Come on Abi." he whispers through the door as my sobs echo through the hall collecting the attention of people staying in the hotel. "talk to me please." he mumbles again as he pushes against the door only for it not to budge.

Sighing, Stephen steps back as he raises his hand, pulling out his sling ring as a portal forms in front of him. He steps through it only to appear inside my room as I scramble to my feet, clawing at the skin on my face as I wipe the tears away and stare at him.

"Talk to you I can't even look at you right now." I scream as I push him backwards hard so that he stumbles and falls against the door that leads to Wanda's room causing a loud bang. As he scrambles back to his feet, I sit down on the edge of a chair, my head in my hands as I stare at the floor in front

Inside Wanda's room, Peter, Pietro, Vision and Wanda play a board game as Loki's nose is stuck in a book and Tony's in his phone. As mine and Stephens shouting grows louder, Wanda's head whips up as she drops the dive in her hand, both of them landing on sixes without her even trying.

"No fair." shouts Peter as his mouths falls wide open, Tony's head whipping up as a bang comes from outside the door. Loki, whose hearing is like a bats, is already at the door, his ear presses against its splintering wood as he shushed Peter who just shrinks down.

"What's going on out there?" asks Tony as he turns his phone off and walks across to the door, joining Loki as he presses his ear against he door, a small spike of wood pricking him gently as he stand up, his hand violently rubbing the spot as Loki rolls his eyes at him.

"If you'd all shut up I can find out." Loki hisses as he narrows his eyes at Tony who just rolls his own before taking a seat near the door and pressing his ear against the wall instead as the room dives into silence, everyone listening to me and Stephen in the other side.

"It was a mistake." assures Stephen as he steps closer to me cautiously, his eyes fixed on my head as my eyes remain fixed on the floor. As he comes to a stop above me, he places a careful hand on my shoulder as I look up at him with eyes full of disbelief. "I made a mistake okay." he repeats as I sit up straighter, not pushing his hand away instead staring blankly at him as he continues to make excuses.

"A mistake?" I ask bitterly as I blink back my anger, caging it inside me through the fear of what I'd do if it comes out. Standing up. I push Stephens hand off my shoulder and stare up at him, my jaw locking as my hands form fists that glow at my side. "Stephen you kissed Christine." I grunt as I take deep breaths and bite my tongue so that I don't say anything else.

"He did what?" Tony blurts out in the other room as he sits up from the wall, his eyes wide as he blinks in shock a few times. Loki takes a deep breath as he closes his eyes and cracks his neck before standing up and grabbing the door handle only for Wanda to use her powers to send his arm flying backwards.
