Interlude: An Intervening Period of Time
About two years passed between the day Ariana had first stepped foot in the New York Sanctum and the day that Stephen Strange ran out the doors with Wong, Tony Stark, and Bruce Banner.
A lot had happened in those two years. She completed the contracted work for the Masters of Mystic Arts within several months, and continued to provide technical support with weekly visits to each of the Sanctums and Kamar Taj, thanks to portals provided personally by Stephen. Usually on the days she did that work, shed spend the afternoon and evening at the New York Sanctum with Stephen and Wong—sometimes just with Stephen—watching movies, playing board games, reading. Most of the time theyd finish up so late that shed sleep over in the guest room. Shed relented and left clothes there early on.
The other days of the week, when she wasnt doing work for the Masters of Mystic Arts, she still did some work at Stark Industries offices. She and Stephen would go out somewhere on a date at least one night a week. Theyd started with locations in the city, but at some point hed started using his sling ring to get them to further locations, visiting places all over the world.
They had professed their love to each other early on, and continued to do so, but after having so quickly fallen for each other, seemed to have fallen into a happy rhythm of slow and steady which neither seemed to mind. They were happy.
That is, until the day Thanos sent his minions to Earth in search of the Time stone and the man who protected it.
