Returning from tony stark's funeral, he was about to meet christine palmer to take her to lunch and talk things over. Hoping to repair their relationship that had been strained for a long time, due to his own mistakes. Only to feel the pain of heartbreak, after Christine Palmer introduced a man named Charlie as her fiancé. The world seemed to collapse around stephen, stephen felt a little disappointed hoping to be with Christine again now it would never be achieved. Stephen understands he is the cause of their relationship rift, stephen understands being blip for 5 years will certainly cause major changes in his personal life. Losing Christine, losing the title of sorcerer supreme.
The next day, stephen strange tried to reorganize his life. Starting the day with a tired face, stephen went down to the kitchen to make coffee. Wong was watching TV while having breakfast with toasted brown bread and a glass of tea.
"Morning strange. " Greeted Wong.
"Morning." Stephen said.
Stephen prepared his own cup and coffee blend to the coffee machine.
A breaking news broadcast appeared on tv:
(Showing scott, wanda, clint, sam, bruce, thor, bucky, rhodey seen entering the cemetery)
(News text: Still grieving the loss of iron man tony stark, the avengers were seen reuniting for another private funeral for their fallen comrade in the process of fighting thanos. Avengers spokesperson, Stark Industries representative happy hogan spoke of the funeral honoring the late natasha Romanov and vision. meanwhile vision became a topic of heated debate after sword attempted to seize his skeleton from Stark Industries' asset property.)
Stephen and Wong watched the breaking news quietly. Until Wong went to the kitchen while carrying empty plates and glasses to the sink and washed them.
"Strange what happened to you yesterday? You seemed to be silent a lot yesterday. I also want to apologize if you feel unfair for losing your sorcerer supreme title." Wong said.
"It's okay. I understand. Everything happened because of circumstances. Not only the title, I also lost Christine. Yesterday I met her to take her to lunch. Then she introduced her fiancé and they are getting married next year" Stephen explained while drinking his coffee.
"I'm sorry strange. Sometimes life is hard, but rest assured that one day you will also find your own happiness with someone else." Wong said.
"Thank you for your aphorisms, Beyonce." Said strange with an amused smile and a light snort in return.
"You want to go back to teaching the apprentices again when? Starting today or tomorrow?" Asked strange.
"Today. I'm going straight to kamar taj after finishing my coffee. Life has to go on anyway, doesn't it!" Stephen said as he took another sip of his coffee.
"Okay, see you in 15 minutes." Goodbye
Stephen strange spent his time teaching the kamar taj interns. Lunch time arrived. Stephen strange walked through the hallway to the front yard and approached Wong who was watching the apprentices practicing opening portals.
"Lunch time is here, strange. Join the dining hall as usual." Wong said.
"Tomorrow. I now want to eat Mr. Josh's burger. Josh's burger. I miss my favorite burger." said stephen.
"Well enjoy your day." Said wong.
Wearing his daily casual clothes, Stephen strange enjoyed the day walking on the streets of New York to his favorite burger restaurant.
Stephen opened the door of the restaurant and greeted the locals with a light smile.
"Oh strange, nice to see you here again. " Greeted josh
"Sure josh, I'm back in one piece. I'll have the usual josh, cheeseburger with fries and americano ice. " Stephen said.
Looking for a place to sit, Stephen saw Wanda Maximoff enjoying her lunch at a table a little far from the position where Stephen stood.
Stephen took the initiative to approach to greet her.
"Hi, wanda." Greeted stephen
"Oh hi, Stephen." Wanda said smiling back
"Okay. Can I sit down to join you here? I'm also getting ready for lunch." Stephen said.
"Sure. Please." Wanda said.
Stephen sat down opposite wanda. Stephen realized one thing, Wanda was still wearing the same clothes he saw on the newscast.
"How was your day Wanda?" Stephen said trying to chat with Wanda.
"Just feeling relieved. Vision finally got a proper funeral. I'm a little grateful that Stark included Vision as an asset to his company. How was your day, stephen?" Wanda said.
"Perfect. Even though I lost my title as Sorcerer supreme. " Stephen said trying to smile.
Stephen's lunch came.
"Thank you josh." Stephen said.
Josh nodded his head in reply.
"That's okay. You're still a Sorcerer protecting the earth." Wanda said.
"Thank you for your compliment, Miss maximoff." Stephen said amused.
Stephen and Wanda enjoyed their lunch together while chatting and cracking a few jokes. Previously, they had just greeted each other and chatted briefly with the other avengers at Tony Stark's funeral. After lunch, Stephen immediately paid Wanda's food bill. Wanda was a little uncomfortable but accepted it too. They both left the restaurant together.
"No need to feel bad wanda. Think of it as a friend's treat." Stephen said.
"But we're not friends, stephen" Wanda said.
"Then we're friends from now on." Said stephen.
