     Stephen was glad when he received the wifi password. He could email Tony! He would call, but he forgot his phone and it was dead.

     Tony never responded to the email Stephen sent, but he'd seen it. Just the basic 'I love you, miss you, hope to see you soon'. Today, he was going to visit Peter's grave.

     Tony silently selected and bought some flowers to put on the grave that held his dear son. He set the flowers on the soft soil and sat down. Tony was going to spend the day at the grave.

     "Hey, Peter. So, Stephen went to a weird place. Kamar-Taj, I think it is. He thinks it will help his hands. I think it's bullshit, but he's motivated. I would ask how you are, but you're kinda dead," Tony said to Peter's rotting body. (Ewww, I know I phrased it weird. Also, ghosts are real now I guess)

     Peter knew his dad couldn't feel his touch, but that didn't stop him from trying to hug him. Being a ghost was weird, he could only be aware when someone came to visit him. These were some depressing moments. Peter couldn't shake the feeling that something would happen, and soon.

//With Stephen (Few days later?)//

     The first thing Stephen felt was cold. The Ancient One had pushed him through a portal to Mount Everest because he was 'lacking motivation'.

     Stephen knew he was going to freeze to death if he didn't make a portal. He thought of Tony, who would probably kill himself if he died. Stephen saw the sparks and tried harder. He nearly cried in relief when he saw the portal open. Stephen walked through the portal with a whole new attitude.

     Now Stephen could look at the books in the library without Wong catching him. Stephen could tell Wong was growing increasingly annoyed.

//After Dormammu because I suck at this filler stuff//

     Stephen walked into the New York Sanctum for the first time in forever. He created a portal to Tony and pulled him in through the portal. "What the fuck!" Tony yelled as he was pulled through.

     "Surprise, I'm back. I saved the world, by the way," Stephen said. Tony turned around to see Stephen. Tony threw himself at Stephen for a hug.

     "I missed you," Tony said into Stephen's shoulder. Stephen wrapped his arms around Tony.

     "I missed you, too," Stephen replied. Tony pulled away and looked Stephen in the eyes.

     "What the fuck are you wearing? Why is that cloak moving on its own? Why does that necklace look so weird?" Tony asked, sorta confused.

    "I'm wearing a tunic, ever seen one? The cloak is The Cloak of Levitation, it's a relic. My 'necklace' is called The Eye of Aggamoto, it's actually a very powerful stone," Stephen replied. "I'm basically a wizard now."

     "Holy shit, Stephen. What all can you do?" Tony asked.

     "A lot of things. I can create portals, weapons, and various other spells. I'm the Sorcerer Supreme now, I have a large role. I can go to other universes, transfer souls to a different universe. The Eye allows me to alter time. There's so much I can do, but I have to protect the universe from mystic threats," Stephen answered, gloating at his job. Tony was thinking for a little bit.

     "So, if you can go to different universes, can you find one where Peter is alive?" Tony asked hopefully.

     "I could. But that would take a while, and even if I find one, soul transfers are extremely difficult and you won't remember anything. A few specific feelings stay, though," Stephen answered. Tony looked excited.

     "Please do it! It's the only thing I'll ask you to do," Tony begged. Stephen took a deep breath in.

     "Fine. But if I find one, there's no guarantee I'll let you go," Stephen said. "The new universe could be too dangerous."

     Tony hugged Stephen and kissed him. "Thank you," Tony said. Stephen smiled.

     "Of course. I'll need complete focus, so go outside or do something quiet for a while. No noises if you stay here," Stephen said sternly. Tony nodded and sat still in one of the plush chairs.

     Stephen sighed, opened the Eye of Aggamoto, and started his search. Tony watched in awe. Magic was pretty.

     A few minutes passed, and Stephen finally came back to reality. Tony stayed quiet just to be cautious.

     "That was a lot of worlds," Stephen said, almost sounding like he was out of breath.

     "Was your search successful?" Tony asked.

     "Yes. And I'm willing to transfer your soul because you could defend yourself," Stephen answered.

     "Details?" Tony asked.

     "You are a genius, billionaire, philanthropist, and a hero. You created a suit of armour that could fight, and you go by 'Iron Man' and you're in a group called the 'Avengers'. You adopted Peter when he was a baby, and now he has spider-like powers and goes by 'Spider-Man'. The other Avengers are Steve, he's Captain America, Natasha, Black Widow, Clint, Hawkeye, Bruce, Hulk, And a God named Thor. And I am Doctor Strange, same occupation," Stephen said.

     "Wow," Tony said after processing everything. "That sounds nice. If I do go, will I have other Tony's memories?"

     "Yes. Do you want to go?" Stephen asked. Tony thought about his answer for a bit.

     "I do," Tony said. "I feel bad though, we have this relationship here, but not in the other world,"

     "The universe finds ways to make people meet if they are destined to. We are soulmates, we'll meet. It just might take some time," Stephen said, starting the magic. "Ready?"

      "I guess," Tony said. Stephen kissed Tony. It was passionate, for it was the last kiss the two would share in this universe. Stephen pulled away, and with tears in his eyes, sent Tony's soul to the other world.

//woosh swoosh, magic//

     Tony was drawn back into reality by Peter tapping his shoulder. "Dad? You were zoning out," Peter said. Tony looked at his son.

     "Kid, I have this overwhelming urge to hug you," Tony said. Peter held his arms open. Tony gladly hugged Peter close and tightly.
