You were walking to the room with the green wall and still wondered who Q was. She was someone close, that for sure, but how close exactly?
And they both died. Y/n had walked right into her death but where was Q? When did she die? And how?
"Hey", someone greeted from behind, so you turned around.
"Hi", you replied.
"Sam, nice to meet you", he introduced himself and you nodded, "heard a lot about you. How's it being dead?"
"I'm not dead and I never was. Your news don't seem to be fully correct", you said teasing and he chuckled uncomfortably.
"Seems like it. See... I don't wanna be rude but I don't think it's good you're around. He's struggling and he's been even more off since your arrival."
"Are you friends? I thought you are just a couple of guys, not even partners", you said and raised a brow, trying to suppress a laugh.
"Well, no, I mean yes, I mean... huh? How do you know about that conversation? Are you a wizard?"
"There is no such thing as wizards", Bucky joined the conversation.
"We had that already, Dr. Strange is a wizard!", Sam exclaimed.
"No. He's still just a sorcerer."
"A sorcerer is a wizard without a hat", you chimed in.
"See? See? I've told you! At least one of you is smart!"
"How can you backstab me so badly?", Bucky asked and pretended to be hurt.
"Actually, I don't care about it at all. Call it wizard, sorcerer or a madman, I don't care", you said laughing and Sam stood there in betrayal.
"Alright, suit up Sam, let's find a madman", Bucky said and pulled Sam with him.
Laughing you watched them leaving and hoped they could get Dr. Strange.
Sighing you left as well and walked to the common room to lie down. You didn't like not understanding so much around you and you didn't like where your emotions were trailing off to.
Sam was right. Maybe, you thought, you should try to avoid this universe.
The only question was: How?
Taking a deep breath everything suddenly got dark so you sat up, realizing you were back in your room in the tower. Sighing you stood up and walked to the bathroom to splash some water in your face just to head to the common room next. To your surprise Bruce greeted you and sat on the couch looking like shit.
"Are you... okay?", you asked cautiously and a tired smile appeared on Bruce's face.
"Yeah... It was just pretty exhausting to get your friend", he said airy and closed his eyes, laying his head back.
"You... you found Strange?"
"Yeah. Would have been nice if you had warned me before I met him..."
"Huh?"
Bruce opened his eyes again and looked at you chuckling. "He's exhausting. Very arrogant."
"It's not like you aren't used to it", you said scoffing.
"He's not like Tony, he is filling the gaps Tony is leaving. Alright, in some way they are similar but it doesn't make it better" Bruce said sighing and you chuckled.
"Get used to it, he's important for my situation and even more for the upcoming ones."
Bruce raised a brow in suspicion but dropped the topic by shaking his head and closing his eyes again.
"Now, show me the person you talked about", a man said behind you and before you turned around Bruce sighed annoyed.
"The person is right infront of you", you said looking in his eyes which wandered down your body and back to your eyes.
"You don't look special", Strange pointed out.
"And you look like a target. I think I'd survive longer than you."
Strange tilted his head slightly and squeezed his eyes just a little, letting you know he was skeptic but also didn't like the way you fired back.
"I'm a sorcerer, I think I can help myself quite easily."
"I'm a nobody, I'm not even gonna get to be a target."
"I'm not quite sure where this conversation is leading us right now", Strange admitted and you knew he felt a little uneasy since he didn't know how to make you feel even a bit intimidated.
"You started the dance, I just kept going", you replied and he scrunched his brows, then shook his head slightly.
"However, you travel through universes? Are you taking any drugs?"
"Yes, 5 times a day. You know, the real shit. The ones making you addicted right away", you said with a straight face.
"There we go, Banner. I'm leaving, she's just addicted", he said walking past you and you laughed which made him stop.
"I thought you're interested in things more powerful than you?", you asked with a smirk.
"You take drugs, you're making a fool of yourself."
You hummed nodding and he looked at you confused, examining you all over again.
"You don't take any drugs", he stated and you smiled brightly.
"That's correct, Sherlock. 50 points for Ravenclaw", you mocked him and he glared at you.
"Now, since we're on the same level, tell me what you know about multiverses and multiverse traveling."
"There isn't much to talk about, since there was no one who was ever able to do it. There is a... let's call it a prophecy, saying there will be someone from another universe to safe this one. But prophecy's can be wrong, there are a lot out there and some of them didn't come true simply because the future is fluid", Strange explained and you nodded thoughtfully.
"What can you tell me about time traveling?", you asked and Strange raised a brow.
"You won't get the stone from me", he stated and you rolled your eyes.
"I don't want your little rock, I want knowledge."
"Hmm... Time traveling is something serious, just one thing and you could blow up a whole timeline. That's why we keep it safe, no one should ever misuse it like that."
"But... if the stone has this ability and I know the keepers look into the future... you could do the exact same mistake you could do by traveling back just in the present by knowing the future. I know you said the future is fluid, but shouldn't the future be solid? Otherwise it wouldn't make sense you can travel through time."
Strange sighed and said: "It's too complex to explain. You wouldn't understand it."
"Then tell me if it's possible to change the stone to something else."
"What do you mean?", he asked interested.
"Change it's ability, add one, I don't know. Something like that."
"Not that I know of. I think it would get destroyed by changing it's purpose. If that's even possible."
You nodded thoughtfully and sighed. "I really thought you could help me, but I feel like I only got more questions..."
"If you prove me that you can travel through universes I might be of better help."
"You're holding back information?!"
"Not quite. But if you can get me to your universe, I might understand it better", Strange said and you knew he didn't have other information but wanted to get more knowledge himself.
"I think I have to disappoint you there, I have no clue how or if it works, I can't even control myself."
"That's too bad. If you have anything useful for me, let me know", he said, opened a portal and walked through it. "I'll see you again", he said and closed it.
"Fuck him...", you cursed and Bruce chuckled.
"Told you he is annoying."
