Only a scar: Doctor Strange x Fem!reader

Chapter 9 - Sketches

"Try drawing someone though, if you can draw this then you can draw people," MJ tries to convince you after quite some talking.

"The most I'm doing is Cloaky,"

"Cloak-y?" she tilts her head, observing you whistle loudly until a red blur zoomed to your side, leaving Strange cloak-less.

"Hello, darl," you giggle in delight as it cuddle up to you. "This is MJ, she likes Peter, he likes her," you whispers as the cloak gasps in silence, holding it's ends to its collar.

"Shut up," MJ drops her head as she catches Peter and Ned staring. "Can I help you, losers?" she crosses her arms as you nudge the cloak knowingly.

"Nope," Peter purses his lips before glaring at you and getting back to talking with Ned.

"Classic 'I say I hate you when in fact I love you'," you whisper to the cloak who slowly deadpans to the reader in confusion as if asking 'do you see the irony?'.

"Now you know how I feel!" Anna yells to the cloak from the bottom of the bleachers. The cloak then returned a restless and annoyed silent scream. "I know right? That's what I said,"

"She is two redbulls away from being sent to therapy," you whisper to MJ, catching sight of Anna pulling faces at you. "But seriously, ask him out... or wait until he does, Cloaky and I will make sure he does," after winking at her, you nod for Cloaky to grab Peter and Ned.

"Hey, dude- woah," Peter was dragged up as Ned stood without question, following his friend.

"Hey, Parker," you make room for them to sit. "Ever seen MJ's sketches?"

"Uh, yeah, a few," he admits with a creeping blush as how close the girl was to him.

"You should show him more, MJ," you gesture at the book before standing. "Ned, come on, I'm going to show you the best way to make tea/coffee," without trouble Ned nods and follows you down the steps.

"You're so cool," the boy whispers, high fiving you. "I've been trying to get them together for so long!"

"We will be real good friends, kid," you sling an arm around him, walking towards the table as the team sigh knowing exactly what you had just done.

"I said help with their career, not be cupid," Strange stops beside you and Ned, the boy jumping and stuttering over his words.

"And you think I'm going to listen to you?" Narrowing your eyes and raising your chin at him.

"Well, you proved one point of mine," he leaned forward, faces closer than ever before, and grabbed a small biscuit from behind you. "You didn't lead anyone down the wrong path,"

Staring him dead in the eye while a small point in your chest tightens, breath almost caught, you see him walk away towards some kids all waiting for him to return.

"So are you two dating?" Ned says with a sly tone making you deadpan.

"Thin ice, Kid," you give him an eye roll before walking with him back to the bleachers where the soon to be couple were flirting like little kids not knowing what to do. "This will be more painful than a stab wound, how about you show me something?"

"Uhhh, I'm part of the Academic decathlon with Peter, we have a team and stuff,"

"Ha, nerds... show me who's on the team." A group of kids were crowded around Bruce as a teacher stood head, talking with Banner more-so than the others. "BB-8," (BB as in Bruce Banner- no? Damn, thought I was funny)

"Wonder who that is," Bruce sighs with a smile, looking behind him. "Adopted another kid?"

"I'm not Stark, Ned and I are just besties," you smirk as a few kids widen their eyes in either fear, confusion or surprise; that Ned is your friend or that you were here, who knew?
