Some days are fast.
Some days are really really slow.
It's all been worth it. Got to spend another great birthday with my family, twenty-six, I'm getting up there in age. I did learn patience, that's what you get from waiting for so long. But today is the day!
The day I'm no longer under house arrest!!!!!
And I was going to spend a week in New York, I kinda wanted to be a tourist for a week. That morning someone from homeland security took my band off, now I was in the car about ten minutes away from the city.
Just then a hologram of Tony appears sitting next to me "Hey Tony!"
"So how is getting out finally?" he asks.
"Amazing I don't know what I'm going to do first, see a museum, take a ferry, shwarma?" I ask the two of us laugh "Just promise, no space travel that tends to happen when you wander off, but if you do text me first."
We laugh again "Promise, love you, Tony."
"Love you to Spirit enjoy yourself." with that he's gone and the car stops, I take a breath smoothing out my outfit. I decided to take a nicer approach, nice leggings, high boots, and a long-sleeved crop top.
I get out of the car and didn't even notice it leave, the city was beautiful on a bright day. So much to see, so much to do-
I turn around seeing I've bumped into someone "Oh I'm sorry sir I didn't see you-"
The man turns around and I see it's....Thor?!
"T-Thor?!" I ask, shocked. He smiles pleasantly at me "Illisha so good to see you!"
"What are you doing here?" I ask "Well I'm here to find my father, but I'm having a little trouble with this..." he says and hands me a card. It read: 177A Bleecker Street "Bleecker Street. I haven't seen it in a year, but I think I remember the way, come on." I ask and we begin to weave our way through the crowd.
"Seen it in a year? Don't you live in New York with Stark?" ask Thor.
"We did....something happened and the government placed me under house arrest upstate we sold the tower here," I explain and pretty soon we arrive at 177A Bleecker Street. The place was beautiful.
Thor knocks and then WHOOSH!
Suddenly we're inside the building!
I look at Thor confused and slightly freaked out, I put shields around my fist just in case.
"Thor Odinson and Illisha Stark."
Okay, an ominous voice from nowhere is never good! From a dark corner, I glimpse the shape of a man levitating, he drifts towards us. "God of Thunder," he says the Thor who holds up the ratty umbrella, ready to defend himself.
"You can put your defenses down," he says. I didn't seem like there was any danger, I take down my shields and take a breath. When I finish the environment is furnished, we're in a different part of the house all a sudden.
"So Earth has wizards now?" asked Thor.
"The preferred term is "Master of Mystic Arts." explains the man, he was practical, I like it.
"Alright wizard, who are you? Why should I care?"
"My name is Doctor Stephen Strange and I have some questions for you. Take a seat," he says.
Another jump and we are now all sitting in high-backed chairs. "Tea?" asked Stephen, Thor and I look down to see we now have cups of tea in our hands. I nod "Thank you."
"I don't drink tea," says Thor.
"What do you drink?" asked Stephen.
"Not tea." Thor now has a stein of beer in his hand. He drinks, but it's still full. "So I keep a watch list of individuals and beings from other realms that may be a threat to this world." begins Stephen as he talks I take a sip from my tea.
HOT! I put a hand to my mouth completely missing the next part of the conversation just trying to keep my tastebuds from falling off. Stephen stands up and suddenly we're standing by a bookcase.
"What happened?" I ask Thor.
"Oh, he's going to help."
Stephen turns to us reading a book "I'm just seeing whether this incantation requires any Asgardian modifications. Nope."
Suddenly we're all across the room at Stephen's work station. "Oh, we don't need that," says Stephen.
Suddenly we're back across the room. Books fall off the shelf, Thor's beer spills, and I'm queasy and unsteady from the teleporting. "Can please you stop doing that?" I ask a hand over my mouth.
"I need just one strand of your hair," says Stephen. Thor looked a little pissed off at this "Let me explain something, my hair is not to be meddled wi-!" Stephen is behind Thor, he plucks a strand of hair.
Stephen extends the hair, infuses it with magic, does a few gestures that create a bright light and we are at the bottom of the stairs. Stephen is standing. Thor is rolling down the stairs. I was holding onto the railing trying not to puke.
A magic portal leading into a peaceful meadow has opened beside Stephen. "We could have just walked," I state.
Stephen extends an arm to the portal "He's waiting for you."
"All right," says Thor.
"Don't forget your umbrella."
"Yes." Thor extends his arm and holds out his hand. Crashing noises are heard. Lots of crashing noises. "Sorry" finally the umbrella flies into his hand. I walk down the rest of the stairs, stopping on the last, leaning on the railing "Seems simple enough. Thank you for the help Mr.Strange." I say.
"Stephen please." he says.
I nod "Thanks."
