*Doctor Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum*

I walked into his building and walked around, eyes filled with curiosity.
"Stephen....?" I asked.

Silence...
I slowly walk up the stairs and see him reading.
"Um....should I be here...?" I asked.
He turned to the next page and then looked up.
"I didn't think you'd come here..." Stephen said, smiling softly.
I chuckled and shrugged, sitting in front of him.

"I need a break...." I said.
"Somethings troubling your head. What's wrong?" He asked.

"Nothing's wrong.....nothing at all...." I whisper, looking down at my fingers.
"You were with Thor's brother, right? Something happened between you two that you both loved and yet...didn't fit well?" Stephen asked.

I nodded.
"You can....stay here for awhile if you'd like." He said with such a sweet smile.

"You're supposed to be a wizard, right? Be serious like you always are." I said.
He was confused til I smiled and laughed.
Stephen did the same.
"You're a keeper of the stone." I said, pointing to the eye looking thing on his neck.

"No wonder you're out of this world....it's not your beauty, but your smarts. Tell me, what's-"
"No math questions right now, please." I said, rubbing my temple.
Stephen nods and gets up.
"I think I should go home right now...my children miss me and max- my mother, my father, my whole family and the people....I've been so accustomed to these 'earthly tradition' that....I forgot what my home was like." I said.
Strange turned to me, a confused but quizzical look on his face.
"How about I take you there myself?" He asked, erasing his look with a smile.
I jumped out of the chair and nodded.

He did his whole 'boom boom whoosh' deal and opened a portal to my home.

I walked through as it was....dark.
Destroyed.

Dead.
I looked around frantically and started to walk more quickly as Stephen followed from behind.

Building were set ablaze as dead bodies were on the ground either severed, head cut off....or much worse.

I looked up at the castle as a literal half of it was gone.
My father
Mother
Aunt
Brother and Sister
Grandmother
Grandfather
Children
Grandchildren
My people......
Max....
Dead.

They were....gone.
Because of me not...not being here.
I look up at Stephen as he is still taking in the in formation around him.

I was on the verge of tears and I just hugged him.
All gone.
Everything.

Now....
Or Never...
I'll avenge them.
~~~~~~
We made it back to the Sanctum and I was still in shock.
"They-.....It's my fault...." I muttered to myself.
"It isn't-"
"How could you say that! I wasn't there! I should've just...I should've just stayed there! I should have never ran away from there!" I yelled at him.
Stephen looked at me with such curiosity.
"Without you being here....nobody would be what they are right now. You are useful, not useless. We love you." He said.

"I left Thor for his brother, I kissed his brother but felt nothing! I just-.....fucking hell. Now you, I find you endearing now, but later-....I don't know!" I yelled, covering my face in my hands.
He picked up my head and looked at me.
Stephen got down on one knee to get on my level as I was sitting down.
"Loki felt the same as you did....if you'd like to stay here for awhile, you may." Stephen said.
~~~~~~
I went back to the tower a few weeks later after staying with strange.
"Where the hell have you been!?" Tony yells.
"Taking a break." I sneered, grabbing a bottle of alcohol.
He smacks it out of my hand it shatters onto the floor.
I look at him as my eyes widened.
"You think you can drink your damn issues away!? No! Nobody can!" He yelled.
Everyone came out of their rooms and watched.
"Say something bigshot! Your father is a king, mother is a queen and they have spoiled daughter of a bitch who can't do shit!" Tony yelled once more.
