Start at the Beginning Pt 7

"Oh snap!"

Walt looks up. "What's up Gwen?"

She points at some street art of Tony Stark/Ironman, Steve Rogers/Captain America and Natasha Romanov/Black Widow and others with a caption of "Gone but never forgotten".

Walt nodded. "Oh... yeah. They're supposed to be dead here though... for now." He shrugged. "When you said "snap" I thought you meant something else."

Gwen gave him a look. "Why?"

Walt nodded. "In this one Thanos managed to snuff out half the lives in the universe with a snap of his fingers." He indicated the mural. "The Avengers came together after sometime and managed to undo it but in the end several of them didn't make it... or at least that's the official story so far."

"Holy Schnikes," Gwen said.

Walt nodded. "Actually if you're interested sometime we can watch the movies. They were pretty good up until that point. After... They tried breaking from the formula of previous success and they started to vary wildly in execution and reception. Some were still pretty good but others were lackluster. Still they made a pile of money and became a huge thing."

Gwen looked at him. "Whoa wait! There's movies?"

Walt looked at her and raised an eyebrow. "How much?"

She stared at him. "How much what?"

Walt nodded. "Exactly... when this is all over I can and will gladly explain if you decide to stick with me. But for now you need to ask yourself "how much do you want to know?", Gwen. That's a decision I'll let you make for yourself. For now you're bound to me. But when I leave you'll be "free" to live your life as you want... but if you decide you want to know more and you want to come with me... well," Walt shrugs. "You've got time to think about it. Until then..." he hailed a cab.

"Where to Tex?" The cabbie asked as they got in.

"177A Bleecker Street," Walt said.

"Let me get this straight?"

Walt nodded while Gwen sipped her cocoa. "Sure, Dr Strange."

Dr Strange looked at them. "You're from another reality beyond our multiverse. Someone from there may have come here and tampered with things. You need me to cast a spell that can track where-"

"And when," Gwen added. Strange stared at her and she went back to sipping her cocoa.

"And when," Stephen Strange said. "They might have been here so you can track down any irregularities. Is that correct?"

Walt nodded and smiled saying, "Precisely."

Dr Strange gives him a hard look. "I don't have the time stone."

Walt shook his head. "I know. That wasn't what I wanted from you. Just the spell. Can you do it Doctor?"

Dr Strange leaned back and steepled his fingers. "I belive so... but seeing as she's not from this universe and you're not even from this reality I don't know why I would. I shouldn't even be talking to either of you. Sorry about your problems but I not only don't care, I'm not interested in your sob story. Isn't this a classic case of your people broke something, so you should fix it anyway? You're lucky I don't throw you both out of here and this dimension."

Walt nodded. "I'd like to do that and if I can that's what I intend to do if it's possible... but I need your help and I'll compensate you for it."

"With what pray tell?" Dr Strange asked skeptically.

Walt crooked his finger and rolling his eyes Strange leaned forward. Walt did too and started whispering in his ear. Gwen couldn't hear but his annoyed expression turned to one of interest, then surprise and even a slight smile. Then Walt grabbed him with his hands firmly and contiued whispering an even longer while. The smile faded and Stranges face went white as his eyes grew wide.

Walt let go and comfortably sat back in his chair and picked up his coffee cup. "Do you understand and agree, Stephen?"

Dr Strange sat back too but it was more like he colapsed. He swallowed and nodded.

"Say it," Walt said with a hint of steel in his voice.

Dr Strange glanced up into his eyes and then quickly looked away. "I understand, S-Sir... and I agree to your small request and extremely generous offer. I... I apologize for any previous discourtesy or disrespect... I didn't-"

Walt simply raised his eyebrow and Stephen flinched. "I-I did... I meant it... it was terribly rude and boorish of me. I'm not without flaws and that is one of mine. I'm ashamed of my behavior and I sincerely apologize and do hope you'll forgive me."

Walt smiled. "Agreed. Let's forgive and forget. I may have come on too strong..."

"No!" Stephen quickly interjected. "The fault is entirely mine and I appreciate the time you took in instructing me on it. I shall contemplate the error of my ways. Truly. Let me get you a refill- both of you a refill," he quickly amended before Walt could hardly twitch, "and I'll see about getting that spell and other things ready!"

Walt smiled. "Thank you, Stephen. Thats very considerate of you. I know that it will likely take you sometime to prepare and I don't wish to rush you with this request. Would it be better if we came back later perhaps?"

Strange smiled nervously trying to ignore Gwen's giggling. "Later? No. Don't be ridiculous! Please stay here as our guests, won't you?"

Gwen watched him leave. "Did you just threaten a Sorcerer Supreme?"

Walt looked at her and said, "You heard him. It was instructive. I gave him enlightenment... and possibly a lesson in manners. I'm a very giving person." She snickered while Walt shook his head. "Besides he's not the Sorcerer Supreme, Wong is, and Sorcerer Supreme is a silly title... they need a better name, might as well put it on the Taco menu. I'd like two Sorcerer Supreme's with Fire sauce and a medium Ice tea. Thank you!"

TW-Stan points at the screen. "You know... I met one of those cape guys!"

TW-Deadpool looked at Stan. "You met a Dr. Stephen Strange? From where?"

"Pizza delivery," Stan said waving his hand. "Lousy tipper! Hey... what do you think he said to him to unkink the knot in his cord?"

Deadpool thought for a minute then pantomimed a long series of very rude and painful, possibly torturous, gestures while Stan nodded and winced and watched with great interest. At the end Deadpool looked at him and said, "Like that... but verbal and mystical and stuff!"

Stan grinned saying, "That'd do it" and they both nodded.
