Through The Multiverse [Dr. Strange]

Slothy Appearance

Double post just for you guys! 

So excuse me forgetting, but these I do
You see, I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway, the thing is, what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

The mornings came and went. There was a dampness looming over them and yet there was so recognition as to why. An emptiness just sat in my heart though I can't recall who or what had it's place. I often wonder if maybe I've dreamt of this noun but I wouldn't be able to pick it out. Just an unknowing I'll have to live with. "Jodie, can you give me the book on one's astral form? I need to take it back with me to Kamar-Taj for the students." Wong's voice pulled me from the void I've been stuck in the past week. This cluelessness was unsettling and I wish it would just move on. But that wasn't what it wanted.

"Sure." Changing the subject in my brain, I lifted myself out of the chair and swiped the book from my bedside through a portal. I've been reading everything I can to find out what the hell has been ripped away from my soul but I haven't been to find anyway of undoing such a spell or such a lock. It was truly infuriating. "Here you go, Boss." I stretched my arm out to him whilst bowing since it was ancient custom. Stephen never did it so at this point I was responsible for the both of us when in Wong's presence.

"Thank you. And you know I don't like being called boss."

"But you are, Wong. Own that shit." The look he gave me was unamused while I tried to hold back a joking smile. "Come on Wong, loosen up."

"It's hard to loosen up when I know what you two opened."

"Uh uh, do not blame me for Stephen opening the multiverse. I'm dealing with enough already considering I can't even remember why we did it. And Wong, you didn't stop us." A sudden bout of anger flushed over me. Where it stemmed from I was unaware but once I realized it I shut it down quick. "I'm sorry Wong. Things have just been a bit tense lately."

"Are you and Strange okay?"

"Oh yeah we're fine it's just, I hate not knowing. Why did we have to forget why we saved the world? I feel like it's a backhanded thank you. We save the world and we don't get to remember how? I mean, I know us forgetting was for the greater good but I have a heavy sadness looming over me like a damn raincloud and I don't even know why. On top of that I'm preparing to go to Christine's wedding and the whole multiverse things has been made going to that incredibly difficult. More difficult than us saying we're going."

"You're going?"

"Out of all of that, that's what you picked up on?" He smiled down at me which sent a whiff of relaxation over me.

"I'm sure it's all going to be fine. Does Strange know how you've been feeling?"

"Not really, I've just been blaming my slothy appearance on this whole forgetting the reason for the multiverse thing. How come you weren't this nice when I told you I liked Stephen?"

Wong started to laugh again remembering how much of a kick he got out of me being so vulnerably in love with, as he said, "A magic robot with a goatee." A shake of my head showed him my annoyance but it almost lightened my mood the tiniest bit. "You're both just an odd pairing which makes you both work. I know I laughed when you told me but it was only because I didn't know at the time how well you balanced each other."

I smiled knowing that Wong was happy for us and he agreed that we hit like two puzzle pieces. "Thank you, Wong." He left the sanctum in a portal, leaving me by myself. Stephen was out doing some grocery shopping and other errands. The silence in here was so deafening. Guarding the sanctum with my life was my job but I needed to liven this thing up if I was going to be able to keep myself awake.
