"One word, strange, that's all I needed."
Tony, Stephen, and pepper were sitting at the table. A different place of course, due to all the destruction caused at the previous restaurant.
they talked and talked and-
Talked for a little while more.
Strange eventually got out the second restaurant with a nose bleed and a ripped lip, couple more bruises around the lip. And near the cheeks.
He could just see the cab leaving with tony and pepper in it, acknowledging how mad he managed him to get.
Stephen walked back to the sanctum, knowing this was gonna take a while before he would be able to see or talk to tony again.
He opened the door.
"So I bet he was pretty delighted to see you huh." Wong said not looking up from his books.
"Oh shut up will you." Strange was pissed, he couldn't believe Wong was actually right.
"That's not very polite strange." Comes the ancient one's voice.
"Ancient one." Wong says standing up.
"Good afternoon wong."
She turns to face him and soon turns back to Stephen, noticing the pout of a five year old
"I'd think that being sorcerer supreme, you'd have it easy." The ancient one said.
"What do you mean"
"Being sorcerer supreme offers sacrifices you need to risk taking and if you can't do that-"
"I know I know, doesn't mean I'll like it though."
"You still have lots to learn Stephen but give it time, you'll get the answers you're looking for eventually."
The ancient one always had her ways of comforting Stephen, one way or the other she was always right anyway.
The risks the ancient was talking about was one Stephen didn't think he'd be able to pull off.
He needed to save tony stark.
The only way was to distract him.
Two years ago, Tony Stark had gotten information unintentionally making him a target in so many ways.
The information would get stark more interested, and get him to research about it.
Stephen was the only one at the time to able to pull off a 'trick' on him.
Was it wrong? Yes of course but it was necessary.
Were there other ways, of course but this would also benefit Stephen in his maturity and character, as the ancient one would put it.
Stephen being dead would get tony to get his mind off of things and focus on his friends death. Giving Wong and his team of other sorcerers to 'hack' his computers removing all information taken.
Stephen knew this was going to happen but seeing it play in his head really made him regret it.
It's been a couple of weeks and nothing. Stephen has been doing his sorcery work and Tony's still in mechanics.
Fixing cars or whatever they do-
Stephen is feeling more guilty than ever, as the days pass.
He couldn't hold it in no longer, it's too much to handle how could he do this to him.
Back at the tower, tony was fixing a car after his argument with pepper about going to some meeting. Him proposing was never going to happen and he accepted that. He broke off their relationship.
