"I just don't get why you're insecure," Spiderman shrugged as he added salsa on his burrito.
Deadpool let out a snort, "Trust me, once you see what's under this mask you'll think very differently.

"Does that mean I'll get to see what is under there?" The hero teased with a smile.

"Only if I get to see what's under yours. All I have are blurry pictures from the paparazzi when you were a baby. Metal head must be a mommy bear, no one has a picture of Peter Stark," Wade pouted.

"How about we show our faces at the same time?" Peter suggested, "I mean, when your ready that is," He quickly added when he felt Wade tense up besides him.

The merc slowly nodded, "Sure, why not bubble butt."
Peter proceeded to choke on shredded chicken.

Mordo walked the halls of the sanctum with a diligent mind. His plan was nearly complete, with Stephen incapacitated it will go down more easily.

"Fancy meeting you here," A male voice spoke in the dim hallway.
Mordo turned and spotted Iron man, "Stark, what  are you doing here? Strange isn't in-"

"Here? No, I know," Tony replied cutting the man off, "He's at  my tower resting. Kinda sounds like a Disney princess when I put it that way."

"Then what are you doing here?" Mordo questioned, ignoring the other man's tangent.
"I know something you don't know!" Tony sang instead of answering the question.

"What do you think you know?" Mordo growled at the Avenger, "What are you trying to do?"
"Stalling. My back up isn't here yet," The inventor cheerfully replied.

"And why would you need back up? Aren't we friends?" Mordo inquired innocently.

"I think you know why," Tony spoke darkly, "That plan of yours is incredibly dangerous. Why exactly did you create it? Jealousy? Legacy? Destiny? Hmm? Come on, don't be shy now." The Avenger jeered t the taller man.

"My plan you say. Pray to tell, what do you think is my plan?" Mordo chuckled softly.
"You plan to end the sorcerer community for all it'd worth," Tony replied.

Mordo smirked, "How exactly are you going to prove it? You do realize that Tony Stark is famous for picking off people he doesn't get along with."

The older male let out a squeak, "And here I thought you liked me. Guess you won't be invited to the wedding," He shook his head in fake disappointment.

"So you plan to marry him. I can put a damper on that for you," Mordo grinned.
"Now!" Tony shouted, startling the man in front of him.

Spiderman flipped into sight and webbed the sorcerer to the nearest wall. "I thought we were going to use code names!" The young hero whined as he landed next to his father.

"Spiderman is your code name," Tony said, letting out a pained noise.
"Oh yeah!" The hero nodded happily, "At this point it's like a second name for me."

Tony let out a sigh and turned to Mordo, who was struggling against the webs. "Now are you going to be truthful? Or do we have to use force."

Mordo laughed and slammed his head against the wall behind him, "You're crazy if you think that Stephen would let you harm his dear friend."

"You're insane if you think that I'll let you hurt my family," Stephen's voice echoed throughout the walls.       
"It's doctor dad!" Peter said excitedly before he covered his mouth with his hands, "Opps, I didn't mean for that to come out."

Tony mouthed, 'I told you so,' to his boyfriend with a smile on his face. Strange rolled his eyes and turned his attention to the dark-skinned male.

"Why are you doing this?" Strange questioned the other sorcerer with a cold stare.
"Don't act like we're friends," The male sneered, "You don't get to act all chummy with me."

"Really? Good, means I don't have to hold back," Stephen smirked as his fingers twitched.
"What the hell-"

A golden string of light shined from Stephen's shaking fingers to Mordo's neck. "You know what this is, yes? Now will you spill your deepest darkest secrets to me?" Strange inquired.

Mordo only glared at the other man while, Tony and Peter stood in confusion.
"What exactly is going on?" Peter questioned looking back and forth between his dad and magical dad.

"See the string? If I pull on it, he'll start to bleed out." Stephen explained, "A deadly but effective spell."
"You would't use that on me. Too afraid of your image to do such a thing," Mordo jeered at the taller man.

"Wanna bet? You planned to hurt my family. I won't let you get away with that," Strange growled.

Everyone stared at the man that was stuck to the wall. The room had gone silent. The atmosphere became intense with blood lust.

Mordo smirked, "You aren't the only one who had back up coming for you."

Portal's began appearing throughout the room, which cause Mordo to smile widely. The group of heroes were standing frozen, thanks to a spell from one of the rouge sorcerers.

The sorcerers began to remove their ring leader from the wall. The restraints melted away and Mordo stepped onto the ground with a grin.
"Well, this was fun! Hopefully we can do it again some time. In the meantime, i do hope that you can survive the rest of my tests I have in store for you. Farewell."

The group of heroes watched as Mordo and his followers left through a portal. Dread filed the air, something big was going to happen.
And soon.
