three: "season of the witch"

"It's complicated. I don't go around telling people."

Adam sighed. He sat across Astoria Westerna, a fellow 'Avenger' although she never wanted to claim that title. To ease his nerves, Astoria decided to visit the Kirk residence. Adam had asked the witch about her sword.

"Is it like a sword made by death himself?" The man asked. He desperately wanted to know about the piece of metal.

Astoria flicked the bottle cap she had in her hands. "Herself. And no, it's just a sword, Kirk, that's older than you and I combined." She grabbed her beer bottle and drank from it.

"So how old are you exactly?"

"Old enough to be your great great great great great great-"

Adam cut her off. "Okay, I get it. You're an old bitch." He let the word slip out so he watched for her reaction.

Astoria grinned. "I like your style, Adam Kirk."

The front door to Adam's apartment opened. Both Astoria and Adam turned their attention to Davina, who looked bummed out. She had a piece of paper in her hand along with a donut. She set the paper infront of Adam as he stole the donut from her.

"What's this?" He asked, grabbing the paper while he ate the donut. Davina didn't say anything, she just walked back to her room. Adam read over it then set the letter down. "She didn't get in. Now I feel like an asshole because I took her donut."

Astoria grabbed the letter. "The school system was always fucked up. Her being involved with Parker shouldn't be a reason why she can't go to MIT."

"She dreamed of going to a great school. Now because of that Spiderboy, she can't get an education." Adam ripped the letter from Astoria's hands and balled it up. He tried to toss it to the trash can, but Astoria raised her hand and used her powers to stop the paper ball and throw it back at Adam's head.

"Will you shut up? You have to support your sister right now. First, her boyfriend's identity gets outed then she gets rejected from MIT. Adam, one way or another, this whole nightmare is going to be over, but right now, your sister needs you." Astoria got up from her seat.

"Where are you going?"

"Away from your stupidity. Keep me updated, yeah?" She walked to the front door, but as she grabbed the door knob, a portal from underneath her opened. She had little time to react as she fell down.

Once the portal closed, Adam looked around wondering if anything else was going to happen, but his apartment was dead silent. He knew it was Stephen who made the portal so he didn't freak out like he did before.

Astoria landed face first on a pile of snow. She spat it out, then wondered where she landed. She raised her head and saw Stephen smiling at her. "Oh. It's you. Don't you have a phone? Prefer that over falling and breaking a bone."

"What's the fun in that? Anyways, the kid here has several questions for you. I tried to talk him out of it, but now he's your problem." Stephen gestured to Peter, who shyly waved at her.

Astoria got up from the snow, dusting herself off. "I have the feeling I'll regret meeting everyone, what is it, kid?"

"Hi, Miss Westerna! Can I call you that? Um, I was wondering if there's a spell you or someone you know that can help with my problem?" Peter asked.

"I see... well, I should've known this would happen sooner than later." Astoria took a potion bottle from her back pocket and drank it.

"Is that supposed to help with the spell?" Peter asked.

"No, I just don't want to be that sober right now. Don't worry, Peter Parker, I am a trained professional under the eyes of Corvina the bitch." Astoria assured.

"Don't you mean witch?"

"No, I said what I meant."

Astoria then threw the empty potion bottle over her shoulder and cracked her knuckles. She then made a levitating spell book appear in front of her. "Honestly, Stephen Strange, why couldn't you do it?"

"Ms. Westerna-"

"Shut up, nevermind. I'm trying to concentrate here," Astoria scanned the thousands of pages for the right spell, but found that the ink was fading as she flipped further in. "You bitch! Of course you would do this!"

"What's wrong?" Peter asked.

"Sorry, kid, apparently I am banned from using spells right now. You help save half of the universe and the queen witch bitch decided that you can't use magic to help a teenage hormonal boy."
