Xxyangxx2006: Thank you so much for your review! I am so happy you think everything fits together so well! I wanted the romance between Stephen and Irena to seem realistic and have it evolve realistically. I am so glad you are liking all the relationships between her and the other characters. I wanted her to some kind of relationship with each one plus add a couple of my own in there! I am so glad you think I am doing Dr. Strange justice and are enjoying this fic so far! Hopefully you enjoy this chapter too!
Tid Bit: So I wanted to still elaborate a little more on Mordo's and Irena's relationship a bit so it adds more emotion to the story. So there is a bit of that, plus a bit of Cloak and Sapphire shenanigans too. Also, I want to explain the spoiler at the end too. I realized I literally put every Avenger in here but Sam! OOPSIE! (Bar Bruce of course but Bruce is god knows where right now) So I decided what the heck and decided to have a little fun with him in the next chapter!
I think that's everything I had to say so on with the show! Have a great day everybody!

To Learn to Heal...In More Ways Than One
Irena
Dream/Memory
After crawling through the big magical door, 4 year old Irena collapsed onto the ground and tried to catch her breath. She had never had to run so far and so fast in all her entire life. As she righted herself with some effort, she suddenly knew that somebody was approaching. She didn't know how she knew that but she just somehow did. Sure enough, a lady came into the room in wherever she was and approached her. The lady had kind eyes and wore very fancy robes. Of course her little girl brain also saw that she had no hair but she knew better than to ask why that was. The lady gave her a kind look and helped her back onto her feet.
"Come with me young one, you must be tired and starving." The kind lady said.
Immediately, her instincts came to life and told her that she shouldn't be going somewhere with somebody that she didn't know. Her mama taught her never to go anywhere with somebody that she didn't know. She looked at the kind lady with apprehension. The kind lady seemed to know exactly what the problem was.
"You are right to trust in your instincts but I assure you that you are safe here, now come." She reassured.
Knowing that anything was better than was just happened to her, she decided to follow the kind lady. As she was being led from the room, somebody started pounding on the big wooden door and then they started shouting.
"Open up! I know my daughter is in there! I want her back now!" The voice roared.
She flinched at the yelling. Her papa was here and he was so mad. She was shocked that the kind lady didn't even seem to care that her papa was yelling. The kind lady led her out of the room without so much of a second at glance at the big wooden door. She completely ignored all of the pounding and the shouting. She was led to another room with a lot more room people and they were all sitting at wooden tables eating. The kind lady helped her get seated and then left her momentarily to go find her some food. As she sat alone, she began to fidget. She didn't know where she was and she was scared. Looking around, she saw that there was a dark-skinned man sitting a little bit away from her. He seemed to be looking at her with curiosity. She flinched away a little bit. He noticed this and frowned. He gave her a gentle look and introduced himself.
"Hello my name is Karl Mordo, I assure you there is no need to fear me. May I ask what your name is little one?" He asked gently.
End Dream/Memory
Irena
Suddenly, Irena's mismatched eyes snapped open and she sat up quickly. She clamped her right hand over her mouth to avoid letting out a startled noise. She let out several deep breaths to try and calm herself down. Letting out a small sigh, she pulled her knees up to her chest and let her head rest against them. As she began to calm down, she tried to process the repressed memory that she just went through. Suddenly, they seemed to be all about 'Mr. Mordo' all the time. She supposed it had something to do with the fact that 'Mr. Mordo' was the one that she attached herself to the most. She was beginning to understand why her 'Mother' modified her memories because all of this really royally sucked. Too bad her memories couldn't have been permanently modified so she wouldn't have to go through this. Thankfully, it was happening to her now and not when she was at the orphanage or something like that. She at least now had the faculties to deal with it properly…mostly.
Looking to her left, she saw that Stephen was still sleeping soundly next to her somehow. She didn't know how he didn't wake up from feeling her emotions through the bond but she was sure glad he managed to remain sleeping. It was lousy enough that she had to suffer through this crap; she really hated it when she took Stephen down with her. Her mismatched eyes softened as she watched Stephen sleeping soundly next to her. Gently, she stroked her hand through his dark, messy hair. Even in his sleep, she could sense that he enjoyed it and tried to move closer to her hand. She honestly had no idea how she would be dealing with all this crap without him. She knew that she couldn't be without him and wouldn't have it any other way now. She NEEDED him and she knew that she couldn't be without him now.
Inwardly letting out a sigh, she turned her attention from Stephen to the bedside table. Picking up her phone, she unlocked it to check what time it was. It was 6:30am in the morning because of course it was. She ran her hand through her messy curls. She knew that here was no way on god's green earth that she could go back to sleep now. She decided to instead get up and go make some breakfast. She knew that Stephen would eventually get up to come and join her at some point anyway. While, she wasn't super hungry, she had to do SOMETHING to get her mind of the memory plus she knew that Stephen would be hungry when he woke up and that Wong would want to eat too.
As quietly as she could, she exited the bed and went to the bathroom to relieve herself and clean up a little bit. Finishing up quickly, she exited the bathroom and sought out her workout clothes. Because she was feeling so crappy, workout clothes were as good as it was going to get today. She found her yoga pants and 'bite me' tank top and threw them on. She also located one of her bandanas too. She wanted to get all of her crazy hair out of her face. She knew that neither Stephen nor Wong would want a side order of 'essence of Irena' with their breakfast so getting it all out of the way was the best thing to do. She also pulled out a pair of mismatched socks too. This time they were green and blue. She decided forgo the shoes today because the only thing that she wanted to do was get Stephen to teach her to meditate. She hoped to crap it would help her deal with her awful emotions better than she was now. As she opened the door to exit Stephen's room, she was 'attacked' by both the cloak and Sapphire. They seemed to sense that she wasn't quite herself to day. The cloak 'hugged' her and Sapphire climbed up into her shoulder. She sort of curled up there the best she could and cloak stayed wrapped around her.
Gently, she shut the door behind her and padded softly to the kitchen. Before entering the kitchen, she gave Sapphire a command to go play because she was pretty sure 'essence of Sapphire' was just as bad as 'essence of Irena' and got her stool out. The cloak however, refused to part with her no matter what she told it to do. She climbed up onto her stool cloak and all and wasted no time in getting to work. She located potatoes and cut them up for hash browns. She also pulled some bacon from the freezer and eggs from the fridge. She was going all out. Breakfast was her favorite meal and she knew having a good breakfast would go a long way in making her feel better. As she got the food cooking, she could sense that Stephen had woken up probably because of the smell. She knew he would be joining her shortly and she knew that would also go a long way in improving her mood too. Sure enough, he appeared in the entrance of the kitchen. He was gazing at her tenderly. She saw that he was already fully dressed because of course he was. As she got to know Stephen that was one thing she noticed about him right away. He was immaculate in his appearance. Like she was pretty sure that he didn't own even one pair of jeans. Not that she had any problems with that at all because those pants and shirts he always wore fit him like a dream. It was one of the many things she adored about him.
He wasted no time in approaching her. He took in her appearance and let out a soft sigh. She knew that he could sense her fatigue. He lifted his hands to her face and his thumbs traced the dark circles under her mismatched eyes. Slowly, he moved his thumbs from the circles under her eyes and caressed her cheeks softly.
"You are exhausted." He said softly.
"Mmmhmm." She murmured in agreement.
"Did you see another memory in your dreams?" He asked knowingly.
She nodded.
"Yeah I did. They're all about Mordo now, Stephen. I don't know how much more of this crap I can take." She told him truthfully.
Looking at her sympathetically, he opened his arms to her and she wasted no time in entering his embrace cloak and all. She buried her face into his chest and let out a soft sigh. His arms wrapped around her and they stayed that way for several minutes. She felt one of his large hands find its way underneath the cloak and then underneath her tank top. It began to make sweeping motions on her lower back. She almost died and went to heaven right on the spot. His hand was warm and it felt so, so good. She let herself stay all wrapped up in his embrace of a few more minutes and then she forced herself to part from him reluctantly otherwise the food would burn. The whole time she finished preparing breakfast, Stephen didn't part from her unless he had to reach something for her. He seemed to know that she needed him close to her right now. Even though she still felt extremely fatigued, her mood had marginally improved thankfully. She plated the finished food and watch Stephen levitate the plates over to the little table and chairs. Watching Stephen do this, she decided that at some point that she would ask him to teach her how to do that.
They both sat down at the small table. It took her an extra minute to re-arrange herself so that she could comfortably sit without squishing the cloak too badly because it simply refused to disengage from her. Stephen was watching the whole scene with affection.
"You think this is funny, don't you?" She griped.
Stephen let out a warm chuckle.
"The cloak simply adores you my little love. It knows you are sad and wants to cheer you up." He laughed.
He was right and it was working. It was helping her feel better and it seemed to realize this. It tightened around her as if giving her a hug. She could sense that was 'happy' or as 'happy' as a cloak could be anyway. Feeling her appetite improve a little, she began to eat her breakfast and Stephen joined in with her. They sat in companionable silence until she broke it.
"Stephen, do you think you could teach me to meditate today? I think it would go a long way in sorting out my emotions." She asked him.
"I think it might help with me learning how to heal too." She added.
Stephen gave her a warm look and nodded.
"Sure sweetheart, that's actually a great idea. How about after we finish our breakfast we go to my study and I will give you a lesson on meditation? Does that sound good?" He suggested.
She made a noise of agreement between bites of food.
"Yes please! That sounds perfect!" She agreed.
She managed to get about half her breakfast down before she just couldn't eat anymore and dumped her remaining food onto Stephen's plate. She knew that he wouldn't mind. However, a worried look formed on Stephen's face and she understood why. Normally, she was usually the one hoovering all the leftovers from either his or Wong's plate not the other way around. She grabbed his slightly shaking hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze.
"It's okay, Stephen. I just can't eat properly when I'm this tired that's all." She explained.
Stephen nodded in understanding and she could sense that her explanation alleviated some of his worry.
"Alright sweetheart, would you like a nap after you meditate? It might help you sleep better." He suggested.
She nodded. That was probably a good idea.
"Sure, that sounds like a good idea." She agreed.
"Good girl." He said softly, pushing back some of her curls that escaped her bandana.
She and Stephen got up from the little table and began to clean up the kitchen. She made sure to keep a plate of food for Wong to eat. She knew that Wong would be along to eat at some point soon. Sure enough, just as she and Stephen were finishing up cleaning the kitchen Wong appeared in the doorway looking extremely put out because he missed breakfast. However, when he saw her she knew that he could sense that she wasn't herself and refrained from making any snarky remarks. She gave him a thankful look for that. After showing him where his plate of food was, she and Stephen left the kitchen and walked in a companionable silence to his Study. After entering the room, she finally managed to get the cloak to disengage from her with a little effort and she made her way over to Stephen's desk. With little effort, she hopped up onto it and sat cross-legged. She looked at Stephen curiously.
"So how does this meditation thing work?" She asked curiously.
Stephen let out a warm chuckle.
"Eager are we?" He chuckled.
She smiled at him and nodded.
"Always." She agreed.
"Alright, in order for this to work you must relax and clear your mind completely." He instructed.
She tried to do as he said but it proved easier said than done because she fidgeted so damn much. Stephen sensed this and helped her to calm down. He stroked the sides of her face and ran his hands down her arms. As he did this, she felt herself begin to relax and calm down. Her eyes began to slowly drift shut.
"That's it, concentrate on my voice and let all of the thoughts drift away." He murmured into her ear.
She could sense that he was very close to her. At the timber of his voice, she felt herself relax even more. Even though Stephen continued to talk she could no longer make out what he was saying. She felt herself drift away completely and it felt glorious.
Two Hours Later
Irena
Suddenly, Irena's mismatched eyes popped open and she looked around. She was so relaxed that her limbs felt like rubber. So that was meditation. She could get used to that, she felt so much better. She was still tired of course but now she didn't feel like her emotions were eating her alive anymore which was awesome. Turning around, she found Stephen sitting in his chair reading the old brown book she found the other day. She meant to tell him about that. Ooops.
"Hey." She said softly.
He looked up from the book and smiled at her.
"Hey yourself, you look much better now. How do you feel?" He asked curiously.
She smiled back at him.
"A whole lot better actually. I think I am going to have to make this a regular thing." She replied.
He nodded in agreement at the idea.
"I think that is a fantastic idea. Say, would you be up to practicing your healing a little bit?" He asked her.
She thought for a moment and then nodded back to him. She might as well give it a try while she was feeling good.
"Sure! Might as well while I'm feeling good." She agreed.
He shifted her so she was facing him completely and her legs were dangling over the edge of the desk. Her legs were now nestled between his. She watched him for a moment and could tell that the gears were turning in his brain. That was never a good sign. She wondered just what in the hell he was thinking of until it hit her.
"You aren't thinking of trying to drop another book on Wong's foot are you?" She asked dreading the answer.
He remained silent for a moment and then made a so-so gesture which caused her to face palm.
"Stephen no, that's not fair to Wong. Plus I should learn how to channel the light energy needed to heal an injury first." She tried to explain to him.
Stephen pouted but relented. This caused her to roll her eyes. She swore that he only wanted to drop another book on Wong's foot just to be an asshole. What a dick.
"You are such a dick you know that?" She said, shaking her head.
"Hey!" He gave her the stink eye and yelled in protest. "I am not a dick; I was only trying to help you! Plus you know as well as I do that Wong can just heal it himself anyway."
She sighed and rubbed the side of her head.
"I know, but I really don't wanna cause Wong pain just so I can practice healing." She mumbled softly.
Stephen looked at her tenderly.
"I know you don't sweetheart. Let's just practice channeling the light energy and see what happens." He soothed gently.
Giving Stephen a relieved look, she nodded.
She tried to think of only happy things to bring out the best emotions she could. Her mind was clear and she felt good but this was still hard as hell for her. Nothing was happening and she let out an annoyed sigh. She tried again and again to channel the right emotions to no avail. Suddenly, she could feel Stephen sending her love through the bond. He was looking at her with affection. She could sense that he wanted her to use it like a boost of sorts. She tried it again and suddenly she felt very warm inside in a very good way.
Her palm started glowing white and she looked at Stephen with shock written all over her face.
"I knew you could do it!" He praised.
She looked at him happily.
"That felt amazing!" She said happily.
He looked at her intensely. She loved it when he looked at her that way.
"You are amazing." He intoned softly.
He pulled her closer to him and gave her a tender kiss filled with love. When oxygen became a necessity, the parted albeit reluctantly and he continued to look at her tenderly. She knew that he could sense that her fatigue was returning. He stroked the side of her face.
"You are tired; you should go take a nap." He suggested.
She made a face. She was reluctant to part from him but she nodded.
"Okay, fine." She said in a mock whiney voice.
He chuckled.
"Oh my tiny little love, you won't be missing much I promise you." He chuckled softly.
Even though she really didn't want to, she got up from Stephen's desk and walked to the entrance of his study. Before she left, she bit Stephen goodbye and the cloak gave her a parting 'hug'. She quietly made her way to Stephen's room. She wasted no time in removing her pants and socks and hopping into bed. She didn't bother removing her bandana because it would help keep her wild hair from getting even more tangled than it already was and it wasn't as if it bothered her when it was in anyway. She crawled into Stephen's bed and got comfortable. It took no time at all for Sapphire to jump on the bed and join her. It took her only a few minutes to conk out. She was way more tired than she thought she was.
Sometime Later
Irena
Letting out a soft yawn, Irena stretched languidly. She felt leaps and bounds better. A nap was exactly what she needed. Sitting up, she checked her phone and saw that she had a new text message. She opened it and frowned. It was from Sam. Well wasn't that a proverbial kick in the nads. It wasn't that she hated Sam or anything but they had a little bit of a bumpy history. Not long after she broke up with Toby, Sam became interested in her and tried to ask her out. It did not go well at all. She just wasn't ready for anything like that and it was difficult to get him to understand that. Since then, their relationship had been up and down which was probably why he was not at her birthday party. She could see the disaster that would have been. She decided that she would just deal with him later; she had far more important things on her mind at the moment. She checked the time on her phone and realized that it was close to dinner time. Her stomach growled loudly to prove that point. Now that she felt more like herself she wanted to eat. She decided that she would get dinner ready for her, Stephen and Wong. Getting out of bed, she put her pants and socks back on. She saw that Sapphire was still sleeping on her pillow and decided to just let her sleep. After making sure all her hair was still secure in her bandana and that she looked okay, she left Stephen's bedroom. She headed to the kitchen. Entering the kitchen she got her stool out again and started getting ingredients ready for chicken fried rice, spring rolls and dumplings. She knew that it was Stephen and Wong's favorite and she wanted to surprise them.
Not long into her efforts, the cloak suddenly levitated into the kitchen and started clinging to her. She could sense that something was not right. She looked at it with frown on her face.
"What is the matter with you?" She asked it curiously.
She could sense it was very upset about something. It pulled back and she could see a good sized wet spot in the middle of it and her eyebrows knitted together in confusion.
'What in the HELL is that?' She wondered to herself.
Suddenly, she caught a whiff of something yucky and figured out pretty quickly just what the stain on the cloak was. What the hell? How did the cloak get peed on?! She thought for a moment and then the light bulb came on. The cloak was probably picking away at Sapphire and Sapphire finally retaliated by peeing on it. She faceplamed. Good lord almighty.
"So do you wanna tell me how you got peed on?" She asked it.
The cloak suddenly made a sheepish gesture and she knew she hit the nail right on the proverbial head.
"Maybe don't pick at Sapphire so much next time, yeah?" She said to it.
She could sense that the cloak was agreeing with her vehemently.
"Would you like me to clean you up or did you want me to go and find Stephen for you?" She asked it.
It wrapped one of its ends around her left wrist and she took the gesture as a sign that it was okay with her cleaning it up. She retrieved some vinegar and baking soda from one of the kitchen cupboards. Thankfully, she was well versed in the art of cleaning up pee stains from living at the orphanage. Not from her of course, but she looked after a lot of the kids there because Mrs. Williams was always so run ragged. After finding the required items, she gestured for the cloak to follow her and she went to Stephens's bathroom with it. She told it to stay put while she went to retrieve some laundry detergent. When she got back, she asked to sit in the sink.
"Just so you know, I have to make the water cold make sure the stain comes out. Once the stain is gone I can put it back to hot. Sorry if this sucks." She warned the cloak.
The cloak seemed to understand her and it positioned itself in the sink. She showed the bottle of vinegar to the cloak.
"Before I douse you in cold water I want to rub a little of this in the stain it should help with the smell." She explained.
The cloak seemed to understand what she wanted to do and waited for her to put it on the stain. She poured a bit on and massaged it into the stain and she could tell the cloak was enjoying it immensely. After the vinegar was all massaged in, she turned on the tap to cold water so she could rinse it out and the cloak shuddered.
"Sorry about that." She apologized.
She repeated the process with the baking soda. She knew it would also work to neutralize the smell and get rid of the stain. After she was finished rinsing it the second time, she could see the stain had gone. Thankfully the cloak hadn't been stuck like that for very long so the stain was easy to get out. She turned the tap to hot, and poured a bit of laundry detergent in the water. She rinsed the cloak in the soapy water to make sure she had all of the vinegar and baking soda out. It seemed really happy now. As she was doing this, she felt that Stephen was coming. Oh crap. She sure hoped he wouldn't want to kill Sapphire for this. Stephen entered the bathroom and looked at the scene in front of him curiously.
"What is going on in here?" He asked curiously.
"Um well, you see. Please don't kill Sapphire because it wasn't her fault and I can't stress that enough but the cloak kind of got peed on. It was picking on Sapphire and Sapphire retaliated by peeing on it. I am just cleaning it up." She explained.
For a moment, she thought he looked like he wanted to go search Sapphire out but then it disappeared as quickly as it came. Now she sensed that he was just curious about something instead.
"What…are you curious about and why aren't you going to kill Sapphire?" She asked in confusion.
She watched Stephen laugh out right at her question.
"I am curious because this is the first time the cloak as let somebody else wash it but me and I can't go and kill Sapphire for something that wasn't all her fault in all fairness." He explained.
She supposed she couldn't argue with his logic there. She just had to ask him why the cloak didn't let anybody but Stephen wash it until now.
"So why doesn't the cloak let anybody else wash it until now?" She asked curiously.
Stephen looked sheepish at the question.
"Well, Christine tried to put in the washing machine once and it freaked out. Ever since then it refused to let anybody but me wash it until you now." He explained.
She looked at him in shock.
"Why in the crap would you let her do that? The cloak is a living thing for crying out loud!" She exclaimed in shock.
He looked indignant at her exclamation.
"Well, in my defense she had done it before I realized what she did." He said defending himself.
Well, she supposed that she couldn't blame him for the incident then. She looked at him with understanding.
"Alright, I understand." She conceded.
"Thank you, so how are you so good at getting stains out?" He asked curiously.
She sighed she knew that one was coming.
"The lady that ran the orphanage was always run ragged with too many kids. Since I was one of the older kids there and I had a brain unlike some of them, I helped her take care of a lot of them. Some of them were quite young and still had issues with potty training." She explained with a shrug.
At her explanation, Stephen was looking at her intensely. He entered her personal space.
"So selfless, you are so beyond perfect my little love." He murmured.
He bent down to her level and kissed her soundly. She let out a happy noise. Suddenly, their moment was destroyed by the cloak splashing water on the both of them for interrupting it's bath. She supposed it was the cloak equivalent of flipping them off. She and Stephen both rolled their eyes at it.
After she finished washing the cloak, it rung itself out and gave her the cloak equivalent of a hug. She could sense it was happy. She explained to Stephen that she had been in the middle of trying to make dinner when the cloak came to her. Stephen agreed to help her finish it. After they put everything away, they went to go finish up dinner and the cloak followed them like an obedient puppy. She had a feeling it would be like that for a while now. It took no them at all to get dinner going again. When they were half way done, Wong came to help them. The three of them finished making dinner and the three of them crowded around the little table to eat. Halfway through the meal, she sensed that Stephen's demeanor suddenly changed and she could tell he was trying to cover it up. He excused himself from the tiny table and left. Just like that. Both she and Wong looked at the each other in confusion. What in the blue hell was that all about? She shrugged it off for now and finished her meal. She helped Wong clean up and then went to go find Stephen. Her curiosity got the better of her; she just had to know what he was up to. She felt him out through the bond and determined that he was in the bedroom. She managed to shoo the cloak away from her before she got to the bedroom. She was certain that whatever Stephen was doing he wouldn't want the cloak interrupting it.
Entering the bedroom, she saw that most of the lights were off but the bathroom was still dimly lit and the door was half open. Now she was really curious. She opened the bathroom door and almost cried at the scene front of her. Stephen had run her a bath complete with bubble bath and candles. How he did this in such a short time span she did not know. She felt his hands on her shoulders and she whirled around to face him. He was looking at her with such love; it made her heart feel so good.
"Stephen, this is amazing." She murmured.
She reached up on her tippy toes to give him a sound kiss on the mouth.
"You are amazing sweetheart and I wanted you to know that." He murmured back.
He helped her undress slowly and she did the same for him. They both climbed into the bath tub. Stephen sat down first and then she nestled herself between his legs. He wasted no time in plucking one of those floofy sponges she liked so much off of the ledge of the bath tub and began washing her with it.
"You are always taking care of everybody but yourself. Let me take care of you." He mumbled into her neck.
At the moment, she wanted nothing more than that.
Spoiler
Irena sighed softly. Right now she was alone and she hated it. Stephen had left the Sanctum to go check out a little girl that was having bizarre dreams. As much as it sucked that he was gone, she knew that it was part of his job to go and check out anything that could be remotely magical. So she was stuck all alone for the moment.
She decided that she couldn't mope any longer. Leaving Stephen's bedroom, she made her way down to the 'practice room'. She wanted to clean and re-organize her tools. It was something she did every now and again. She knew that it was time to do it again. Halfway through the job, she felt somebody enter the Sanctum. It took her no time at all to realize that it was Sam.
'Oh no.' She thought to herself.
A/N: Uh Oh!
