Stark Syndrome: IronStrange

Answeres?

Strange opened a portal and looked back at Tony who tried to hide his hesitation. "You wanted answers Stark, follow me." Tony took a breath and stepped through the portal. On the other side their was debris and high wind, smoke and fire, Tony covered his face as his iron suit started to form over him. Strange cleared the air and gasped. "Thine's temple....." he couldn't state what laid at his feat. The mutant Strange would go to for answers was gone. "Strange, who would want this for Thine?" Tony asked... But he couldn't speak, his eyes were glossy. He was a mutant friend he had met before he left the Kamar-Taj. He was wise and knew answers to questions before he was even asked. Strange just took steps forward through the rubble before stopping to see an arm stretched out from under large stones. Tony threw the heavy stones off of Strange's friend. Strange knelt, grabbed him and turned him over. He was gone. Strange grabbed onto his friends garments tighter and closed his eyes in deep sorrow. A teardrop ran down his cheek. Tony opened his mask and knelt beside him then notice a bulge in this poor man's jacket. "Strange..." Tony pointed out what he saw. Strange pulled out a ripped paper with crooked lines on it, hardly readable. "I knew to much. Phobos had help. Shield... compromised." Strange read the note out loud in a broken tone. Strange opened a portal behind them and he carried his friend through it. They buried him at Kamar-Taj. The other students that helped had left to give Tony and Strange a few moments alone. "If you'd rather not continue..." Tony tried to cut Strange off the hook for helping. "No....." Strange replied with a hint of rage in his tone. "It's personal now."

Tony's wireless connection rang. "Yeah" Tony answered. Natalia started "Tony, we've got a lead on the mole." Strange opened a portal and both of them were in an office at shields base for the mutant initiative. Natalia saw the look in their eyes and smelt smoke. Strange looked up at her and she saw his eyes red and swollen. "What happened?" "Someone had destroyed my friends temple off planet, and left him to die under it." Strange answered in a low tone then handed her the note they found on him. She read the note, "so there is a mole for sure. But how is.... was your friend Thine connected to this? And Phobos I thought was God of fear?" She questioned. Tony answered, "If Thine was similar to Professor X and knew of voices and what they spoke of on earth, then he would know about every secret operation on the planet. Phobos or this mutant would be able to interrogate him for information about anything." "Phobos is considered more of an essence of fear. He is a dark spirit with powers few can match. An altercation with him might not end so well." Strange also added, "the note read Phobos had help. So he must've either seen both together or before he died he heard the mutant on earth which means...." Strange looked up wide eyed. "Natalia, who had the powers to travel distance quickly??" "We have someone who can teleport!?" "Find him?!" Tony quickly spoke as him and Strange both chased after Natalia through the halls of the complex. They turned a few corners and it opened into a large Main Hall for eating and lounging. Many mutants were gathered there. Natalia shouted "Where's Portal?!" Everyone had already stopped what they are doing and stared at Tony and Strange standing there.
One small voice cried out "he left?!" Natalia ran up to a young boy, "Ent, what do you mean he left?" "He's been teleporting out at night and returning before dawn. He said he had better things todo. He told our guard he was laying down for a nap but I knew what that meant. He was leaving the complex." "We'll talk later!" The Widow was clearly angry. Before Tony could ask "Where woul...." there was a deep grumbling sound and the floor beneath them wasn't entirely stable, then it stopped. Just as everyone started to sigh relief thinking a small earthquake, a small light in the center of the room appeared. In a second, the light was gone and Portal appeared from it. He was fast and developed abilities they hadn't seen before. Natalia went towards him but Portal held out his hand to stop her. "Please don't Widow." The young man was 22 years old. They had found him beaten on the train tracks half alive and taken him in. He had always fought the idea of being under one roof and mentioned the nomad lifestyle was what was best for him. He continues "I'm not alone." Just then another quick flash of light, but this time nothing appeared after. "Cut the act kid!" Tony shouted. "This isn't an act, it's meal time..." Portal replied. The lights flicker and cut out with only red exit lights on from the back up generator . The room had an eerie feel and slightly cold and hollow. Strange loudly spoke in a worrisome but strong serious tone, "Everyone out!" Tony stepped up beside him with a questioning look and Strange answered him "Phobos..."
