You are NOT okay.

i decided to write shorter fics to fill promts so i will update more frequently!

Aliens? some behemoths from another dimension? did stephen bring them here?

no, he can't be so stupid. he would never let them in.

"Stephen they keep landing here, there is a portal somewhere that lets them come. we need to find it."

"no, you have to stay here and protect the civilians. i'm going to do that. meet me later at the stark tower when you see them disappearing. it means that i closed the portal and they cannot have connection with their source of energy anymore, okay?!

tony nods patting his shoulder "be safe, please."

"i'll try to. stay safe too." Stephen gives him a smile before running and looking for the portal around new york. he uses his powers to detect it, and discovers that it's in the undergrounds. pricks, he doesn't like closed places.

he draws a portal to the metropolis and when he steps in he hears the noises they make, turning around to see that their portal  was exactly in front of him. the question now is, how does he close it? is there a way to close it without getting hurt? most probably not.

he bravely steps in, creating shields with his magic to protect himself. he looks around to find all of those beasts surrounding the place, and in this moment he realizes this is  not going to end up well. he has to think and act fast. idea, attack while flying.

"y'all can't fly, right?" he says so as he starts to float with the help of the cloak, staring down and feeling his heart pounding. one of the aliens answered but stephen couldn't understand what it said since they don't talk in english, but after a moment he realizes that it must've said "no but we can jump" because all of them were jumping at the same time, aiming for stephen. he tries to avoid them but he gets smashed between them, breaking his ribs. he feels pain and that the ribs punctured both of his lungs, leaving him breathless as he took every little breath. but he has to get out, to get up and close this portal. as he lays on the ground he casts a spell on himself that makes his pain go away, so he is finally able to stand up, aware that it is not going to last so much.

the portal is powered by this weird stone embedded in a altar of quartz. all he can think about is throwing one of the beasts while he's out of the portal, otherwise it'd lock him in. he instantly runs out of it and overpowers himself to punch the ground with his whole arms and strucks all the beasts on the ground, making one land directly on the altar and break it. as he does so the portal closes and he finally can touch his chest. he freezes at the touch, since it is basically not even a chest anymore. "god, oh god. what.. how am i even alive" he mutters under his breath drawing another portal to the stark tower.

as he steps in he finds tony sitting on the ground, probably waiting for him.

"tony! you alright?" as tony sees stephen he gets up and composes himself, seeing some blood soaking stephen's clothes. "you're wounded" the wizard frowns. make up an excuse, i don't want to be opened up to get fixed and have other scars, come on, he thinks to himself, trying to keep it cool. "it's not mine. i tried to save a woman but she died in my arms. she was too weak.." tony sighs and puts a hand on stephen's shoulder " you saved the city though. you saved a lot of people. i know it's hard... when somebody dies in your arms but... at least other hundreds of people are safe because of you."

the sorcerer gives the smaller man a smile and swallows closing his eyes when relizes the spell is fading. "can- can we go now?" tony nods and keeps staring at the taller man while entering the elevator. he clutches his chest and looks so worried while doing that, therefore tony is actually concerned.
