The Widow And Spider Attraction

chapter twelve

"so what is it that you really want, sir? " Peter asked his father in his youthful annoyed tone, careful of what he'd say next.
"I need you and Yelenah to get into the tunnel and get that core stone from addina. " doctor strange managed to say.
Peter looked at him not convinced. The wizard was asking for suicide were it was not needed. how could strange even consider it.
"and ..wanda is OK with this " Peter arched.
"Wanda doesn't have to know. Besides its an in and out thing. You get in there and get out. Easy" strange phrases out to him simply.
" if it was so easy, why don't you do it yourself. " Peter argued. Strange sighed deeply. With there unknown past shared to him, he knew how his son hated him so.

Doctor strange stared into the eyes of the broken boy in front of him. He had no excuse what so ever. Even then now he wished he could turn back time and do it right. He could easily do that . Nevertheless, there were rules and strange followed them like his life depended on it. Which it did in most cases. But that was something his son could not seem to understand.
"I'm sorry Peter.. I really am" strange said with despair. Peter could feel the coldness of the atmosphere as his father felt the guilt of the past. Who knows how much he had deal with. Especially after bringing aunt Mae back to life, he must be wanted for treason in the under relm.
"I'll do it. " he said finally. Strange
