Multiversal travel

Chapter 5

Stephen's POV
The girls had been sleeping for about 2 hours before Y/N started mumbling about something being her fault. She was getting sweaty and looked scared, she looked to be having a nightmare and anxiety attack.

I rubbed her back and she eventually stopped mumbling and started to relax, this poor kid had been through at such a young age. I sighed and went back to making kholodnik.

After I finished making the food I went to light the fire pit, I sat down and went into my phone. A few minutes later YN shot away and was panting and sweating a lot. "wow you ok kid?" I asked while looking at her in concern.  "Uh... y-ya I'm ok just had a bad dream" she said while stretching and fully waking up. "Do you usually get nightmares?" I asked while walking towards her.

"Ya... I get them a lot" she said while looking down at her hands. I went to go sit next to her "Have you talked to anyone about them?"  "N-no sir, my dad doesn't want me to he says it's all bullshit and I'm just saying it for attention" what? Who was this man? I need to have a talk with him.

I went to put her arm around her when she flinched in fear. Did he abuse her? I wouldn't be surprised if he did. She let me touch her and I hugged her, not even 5 seconds later she was balling her eyes while hugging me and gripping into my shirt. I rocked her a little bit and comforted her.

The room was shaking a little bit not too much, her hands were a blue and green color and looked like she was using her powers without her knowing. It seems like her powers are in control of her and she isn't in control of them. I rubbed her back to help her relax and petted her h/c hair, the room stopped shaking and the power around her hands faded.

I couldn't stand to see and hear how much pain she was in. "It's alright" I said while still rocking her and humming. Around 10 minutes later she fell asleep in my arms. I laid her down and rubbed her hair before walking over to the kitchen and grabbing some of the kholodnik.

The next day
Y/N pov

I woke up the next day with a headache, I was still on Dr. Strange's couch and it looked like America had gotten up not too long ago. "Morning sleeping heads" Stephen said while eating another bagel. Lmao he loved bagels.

"Morning" me and America said. America grabbed some bread from the fridge and toasted it, I just grabbed some water and sat down at the table near Dr. Strange. "You gonna eat?" He said while looking up from his phone. "I'm not hungry sir" I said before drinking some water. He hummed and looked confused but then went back to texting someone.

"Sooooo, when can I help Y/N train Stephen?" America said to him while smiling. "Possibly later today, but first we have to see what all her powers are" dr. Strange said.

~Time skip brought you you by State Farm. Like a good neighbor State Farm is there~

Later we went back to kamar-taj and I changed into my uniform thangalang. We walked to the training area and Dr. Strange put us into the mirror dimension "wow" I said with wide eyes. "So what powers do you know you have?" Dr. Strange asked. "I know I have Mind control, Telekinesis, hydrokinesis, and pyrokinesis." "Can you control any of them?" He asked.

"I can somewhat control the telekinesis and pyrokinesis but it's mainly my emotions that control them. And the mind control I never try to do cause it ends badly and people get hurt" I said while looking down in sadness remembering what I did to my Grandma when I was 11.

"Throw the table across the room" dr. Strange said, I used my telekinesis and threw it across the room "wow" America said. "Try lighting it on fire then putting it out with water" he said. I walked over to the table and really focused on my hand to make fire appear, it took a minute and it didn't work. I sighed in defeat.

"It's ok YN try again" Dr. Strange said
Weak
Can't do a simple task
Just give up
Your never be successful like everyone else
Your just a burden to them
They think your weak and powerless

All the negative thoughts in my head started to take over and make me mad. Eventually I got mad enough and fire appeared on my hand, I created a ball of fire with both in my hands and shot it at the table. Dr. Strange's eyes were wide, same with Americas. I then formed water and put out the fire.

Dr. Strange clapped and I felt happy. I haven't gotten that in a while, I smiled slightly and walked over to him. "Try to take over my mind" he said "I c-can't" I said. "Just try, it's ok if something happens America will stop you" he said "I will?" America said confused. Dr. Strange gave her that annoyed look "oh! Ya right I will!" America said while smiling. 

I sighed and looked him in the eyes, my eyes always changed colors when I was controlling minds, I did that thing with my hands and I clenched my fists together. Sit down. I controlled him to sit down and he sat down. It's not that I couldn't do mind control, it was just that if the negative thoughts told me to kill my self it ordered the person I was controlling to kill themselves.

Stand up. He stood up. I started to get really dizzy and felt like passing out, sleep. I said before passing out.

I woke up on a couch in the sanctum "what happened?" I asked while sitting up. "You overdid your self" dr. Strange said while handing me some tea "thank you sir" I said. "You also made Stephen fall down and pass out for a minute, it was hilarious" America said while laughing. Stephen rolled his eyes playfully. "S-sorry" I said while looking into the tea in both my hands. "Ahh don't worry it's alright, I'm just glad your able to control minds it's quite powerful." He said while adding more wood to the fire pit

"I believe that with your mind control you can also make people copy your actions." He said while looking at me. "You mean I can make people copy me? Wow!" I said with a smile. "We'll use more of your powers tomorrow if that's alright with you but for now we can spare."

We went back to the training grounds and America tossed me one of those sticks (I forgot the name sorry lmao). She explained it was used fr the magic but since I wasn't a sorcerer and just a magical being I could use the sticks to beat her ass. "Have you ever fought before" she asked "ya my mom taught me some stuff and I learned a lot from YouTube" I said. She laughed, then she charged at me. I blocked her with the stick and she tripped me making me fall on my back.

I grabbed her arm and threw her over me, she landed and got back up in an instant, she threw a magic ball thangy at me and I dodged it. We fought with the sticks for a minute then she grabbed my arm the made me fall. I groaned in pain but got back up. I kicked her and we fought with sticks again.

We fought for a few more minutes then I finally was able to pin her down. Dr. Strange clapped "wow YN that was amazing" he said. America smiled and stood back up. "Good job YN". I never got compliments like this and it made my heart flutter, I don't know why though. It didn't feel like I was panicking, it felt like a calm panic, a sort of relaxation in life.

I loved it in this universe, I didn't have a dad yelling at me, no online hate, no death threats, rape threats, hate comments, and there were no people verbally abusing me.

We sparred a few more times then called it a day. I went up to my room and got changed, I was about to go to bed when I heard a knock on my door. "Come in" I said while washing my hands. Dr. Strange walked in "hey YN" he said with a soft smile. "Good job today" "thanks" I said. It felt really nice knowing someone appreciated me and thought I was doing a good job.

"How are you feeling?" He asked. "I-i'm feeling fine, why you ask" I say while sitting on the bed. "How are you actually feeling" he said. What if he knows I cut? What if thinks I'm weak? Does he know about my two suicide attempts? Does he know about all the people I've murdered? Did he find out about my horrible mental health and PTSD?

"I'm doing ok, everything's going good" i said. He frowned a little and I felt bad for lying. "If you ever need to talk I'm here for you Y/N, don't be scared to talk to me I won't judge I'll just listen and help the best I can" he said to me while patting my shoulder. "Thank you sir" i said while smiling at him.

"And please stop with the Sir's just call me Stephen" and with that he walked out. I laid down in bed and thought about this day, it was a pretty good day but tiring, I closed my eyes and let the darkness take over me.
