*Meanwhile... Thirty five years earlier*

1985

STRANGE: Remember... stress, pressure... you must forbear all of this.

JANE: Okay... okay... how do I do this?

Strange looked at Jane, and looked at the target. He bent next to her, and pointed at the target.

STRANGE: That is your target, your focus, don't let anything distract you.

Stephen got up and walked a few steps back.

STRANGE: Now, Lucas.

LUCAS: Okay!

Lucas used his "wrist rocket" and fired a rock aiming on El. The rock stopped on mid air, and made its way to the target, it hit right in the middle, making Strange smile.

EL: Yes! Bullseye!

LUCAS: NICE!

Lucas ran towards Jane and hugged her.

LUCAS: YOU DID IT!

STRANGE: Nice job, Jane. I am very proud of you, you have increased your abilities in a fantastic way!

JANE: Thanks, Stephen...

STRANGE: Do you want to keep training?

JANE: I think I'm fine for now, dad's probably worried about me.

STRANGE: Don't worry...

And right behind Strange, a man walked towards them, it was chief Hopper.

STRANGE: I warned him.

HOPPER: There you are, Jane... hey Lucas, hi, mr. Strange.

LUCAS: Hey, Hopper.

STRANGE: Hi, chief, evening.

HOPPER: So, c'mon Jane, dinner's ready, get in the car.

JANE: Okay, bye Lucas, bye Strange.

STRANGE: Bye, Jane.

LUCAS: Bye! I gotta go too, Strange, dinner's probably ready at my home too...

STRANGE: Bye Lucas, you did a great job, thanks for the help.

LUCAS: You're welcome!  See y'all!

HOPPER: Bye kid! And be careful!

And only Hopper and Stephen Strange were left standing on the "training field"

HOPPER: So how is she doing?

STRANGE: Very good, at her age level is... fantastic, we could use someone like her in our rea... in our future.

HOPPER: hehe... I bet you could. They grow up so fast, you know? It feels like yesterday I saw her with no hair running with the boys from the Demogorgon.

STRANGE: *grins* I know... and to think that I met her by accident and ended up meeting you all... life's funny.

HOPPER: Yes... how did you met her? Was it in the Upside Down?

STRANGE: Yes, kind of. One day I'll tell everything that happened.

Hopper looked at the sky, and suddenly frowned.

HOPPER: How... how is the future? What does it look like? Is it like Back to the Future?

STRANGE: Well... almost, I must say...

HOPPER: Oh, that's great! I got to go, dinner's ready you know. Joyce made meatloaf today.

STRANGE: Sounds delicious. *smiles* Have a good one, chief, goodbye.

HOPPER: Bye... "Strange".

Hopper got in his car and left. Jane waved to Strange in the car, and he waved back.

Stephen looked at the sky, and looked at the clock.

STRANGE: Three years, three years have passed on Earth.

Wow...
