Before It All (IronStrange Fanfic)

Chapter 23 Stephy

Stephen's Pov:

"Strange?" Master Drumm asked as he walked into the sanctum. "Is something wrong?" He asked.

"Tony's missing." I said and the cloak was fluttering at the door.

"What is wrong with your artifact?" Master Drumm asked.

"Not sure but right now I'm looking for a locating spell." I said.

"I will help you look." Master Drumm said making me smile when the front door opened and Wong held up some Taco Bell bags when the cloak darted out the door.

"Where's it going?" Wong asked.

"Not a clue." I said.

"Well I brought some food and your going to be eating it. Stark wouldn't want you passing out from hunger." Wong said.

"He's been missing for almost two days." I said.

"And you haven't ate the whole time." Wong said and I frowned.

"Neither has he." I said.

Tony's Pov:

"Fuck." I panted and looked back at the river. "Who puts a river in the middle of a fucking forest!?" I asked.

"God." Beverly said and I frowned as I laid on the mud. "We need to get you out of here, sweetheart. Your not only hurt now but freezing." She said looking at me worriedly.

"I'll move when I think my legs are not jello." I said looking at the raging river as it kept raining. "At least the rain slowed down." I mumbled and winced as I sat up touching the bullet wound on my shoulder...I ripped my shit sleeve and tied it around the wound...removing the bullet right now would be stupid...Could be keeping pressure on the wound. I got up and stumbled a bit till I dropped into the grass.

"Come on...You are doing great." Beverly said and I laughed.

"I'm starting to think my head injury is a lot worse than I thought...Am I dying?" I asked.

"I don't think so." She said and I looked at the river again as it kept getting colder.

"Fucking Fall season." I said and got up again stumbling and using trees to hold me up. After a while of moving I gave up feeling cold and exhausted.

"No, come on sweetheart." Beverly begged looking at me.

"I just need a break." I said.

"If you fall asleep you'll freeze to death...come on." She said and I frowned. "Stephen's waiting for you." She said and she was right...I had to get back...I put my hand on the tree pushing myself up only for my legs to give...Fuck. I looked up and my eyes widened.

"Levi?" I asked.

Stephen's Pov:

"Why is there only location spells for items?" I asked frustrated.

"At least you can find your artifact." Wong said.

"That cloak is very strange...We don't know much about it." Master Drumm said.

"So?" I asked.

"Is it possible it went to find your mate?" Master Drumm asked and I froze remembering how the cloak had tried comforting Tony sometimes or just following him around.

"Where is the spell to find objects?" I asked.

"Here." Wong said.

Tony's Pov:

"Levi?" I asked and the cloak floated toward me as I went to get up. I stood shakily and saw the cloak droop almost like it was sad. "How'd you get here?" I asked and stumbled almost falling when Levi latched onto me steadying me...It's little collar rubbing gently at my cheek.
