Stranger Things Will Happen… : Stranger Things Have Happened!
Previously on Sukai Todd In The Multiverse of Madness [2022]: "Let's save the kissing for later…" I suggested, as I focused on the stunningly beautiful, somehow familiar roses. "In this case, I'll agree with you…" Stephen agreed, "Okay, we need to find the you in this Universe, that knows how to get us back before The Scarlet Witch reaches Wong." He explained, "Isn't that your job?" I was a bit confused, by the irony… "Well, you're the one who transported us here… Wherever here is." Stephen nodded, "Your humor really is flat." I rolled my eyes, again. "I don't know, if I should be insulted or slightly more aroused…" Stephen thought aloud. "Wait, did I just say that?" He asked me. "Uhh, yea…" I answered confidently. "Before, we find the other me, in this Universe… I think we need to find the other you, the you that loves me." I suggested another helpful clue! "Okay, while I'm slightly offended by that statement, I agree… We should find the other me." Stephen agreed a bit offended, lolz. "What's offensive about it? Are you being a snowflake because I don't think you love me?" I asked him, curiously. "I am NOT a snowflake, Sailor Moon!" He retorted confidently… "And your comment was offensive…" He added cockily. "Why?" I smirked with a cocky glare… "You tell me!" Stephen snapped, "Because, until we get out of here, we're stuck together…" I replied. "Exactly. If we're really a happy couple, in this universe, let's at least, act like it." Stephen agreed blushing deeply. "How do we do that?" I asked him, as we found ourselves, looking for something to eat. "Maybe a coffee date?" He asked me, "Sounds good… I like iced coffee." I agreed. "Hmm?" I paused, noticing a unique shop that held all my most precious memories… "Watch all your most precious memories, now for a discounted price!" The announcer-recording exclaimed as I stood on the circular-device and it revealed a much more painful part of my past… "Wow…" Stephen realized, how traumatized I had been, after losing my furry now angel, in September 2021, then being betrayed earlier in the year of 2022 by someone who gaslit me, and didn't know how to handle anything other than sex. Which, he might as well have a STD from, by now… [Sukai: Justin Toste, feel free to send him hate mail, if you guys want. I'm kidding]… "Come on, Skye…" Stephen gripped my wrist, "We don't have time for this." He pleaded sadly, feeling my pain… "Hmm, yeaa…" I nodded, discreetly wiping my eyes only to find myself in a tight, warm hug, with him, again… "Huhh?" He gasped a bit, feeling me tripping as he caught me, right on time! "Oh?" I blushed, as we suddenly had a deeper connection… "You're stepping on my cloak…" He whispered, "Sorry…" I shyly stepped up off of his cloak. "Don't apologize, Skye." Stephen was falling in love with me, more and more… "Okay… People are looking at us." I thought aloud. "Just let me, hold you, a little longer…" He pleaded, "Close your eyes, it'll make it easier." He whispered as I silently agreed, and we shared another passionate, deeply loving embrace (hug). I blushed, feeling his chest against mine, as our body temperatures heated up immensely…
Anyhow, as I felt myself gently breaking the hug with Stephen Strange, I noticed from the corner of my eye, someone who was yearning for me, in the previous Universe… Well, this was another version of him, so, this other version of him, I guess you could say… Justin Aceves. Apparently, in this universe, he was Peter B. J. Parker. Ironic… "We need to go." I whispered to Strange, urgently. "Okay." He nodded as he glanced at Peter/Justin and immediately sensed the imminent danger. "That's Peter Parker…" Stephen realized, in this Universe, his memory wasn't fully erased… "But, he's not my Peter Parker." I replied blushing deeply. "This isn't the Spider-Man you wanted to see?" He asked me, clearly concerned… "Let's go!" I gripped the cuff of his blue sorcerer-robe-shirt sleeve. "If you insist…" Strange followed me, as I ran away from the Evil Peter, who immediately transformed into a the Blacksuited Spider-Man… "You didn't tell me, your Peter was venomous!" Strange snapped, "To be fair, he wasn't my Peter in the other universe…" I retorted in annoyance… "You were dating him?" Strange lifted an eyebrow. "No, I wish…" I panted as we ran further down the street only to feel the road turn literally upside down on us; and Strange summoned the power from his Power-Ring! [Sukai: I will give you the names of these items, when I get them from Amazon]… "And, you didn't tell me, he has skills in the Mystic Arts?" Stephen demanded as Peter/Justin fought him back slickly. "I didn't know! On your left!" I responded as I felt my inner-ear trouble hitting me, and I tried to stay stable as I grabbed my Moon Crisis Wand from my garter; only to realize it was taking longer than usual to transform from pocket-size to full-size… "Get away from MY Sailor Moon!" The Blacksuited Spider-Man commanded to Stephen, "Your Sailor Moon?" Stephen and I demanded in a unified confusion… "I'm guessing, you did date him, in this universe…" Stephen dryly snapped. "Apparently…" I nodded, still trying to put things together only to feel Spider-Man wrapping me up in his webs and gripping me in a headlock. "Let her go!" Strange commanded, angrily, and slightly jealously… "Not in this century!" Spider-Man possessed by his own Venom confidently retorted, "Then, I guess, I'll see you in the next century…" Strange snapped cockily using his cloak to start choking Peter, causing him to release me as the roads rotated back to their proper levels; and I found myself flying downwards… "KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" I squealed, shrieking in horror, as I suddenly felt Strange gripping my wrist and bear-hugging me as we somehow managed to safely land back on the ground, as it were. "Cloak?" Strange asked his cloak, which patted me on the back as Strange held my shoulder. "Huhh, huhh…" I panted harder, "I think your cloak has taken a liking to me." I spoke through panting. "He's not the only one…" Stephen grinned at me, "Listen, Stephen, I," I began, yet before I could continue Spider-Man-Venom returned ready to continue the battle! "Stephen Strange! Long time, no see! So, now you're making my Black Cat forget about me, too?" Spider-Man demanded, as his mask materialized off. "Black Cat?" Strange asked me, I shrugged… "That one cosplay, I did… In the other universe." I suddenly realized what Peter was talking about. "You cosplayed The Black Cat?" Strange was blushing a little bit, at thought… "For a convention, a month or two ago…" I nodded only to feel Blacksuited Spidey gripping my wrists via webslinging and pulling me into his firm, seductive grasp. "First, you ruined my relationship with MJ… Now, you're trying to stop my relationship with Sukai. Not this time, Strange." Venom-Spidey growled angrily, still gripping me firmly in a hugging-fashion, as I tried to break free from his grasp. "Calm down, Felicia…" Peter whispered in my ears, "Felicia?!" Strange's eyes widened hearing that name… "My Black Cat needs her milk! And, you WON'T stop me from giving it to her." Peter snapped, "Justin? Spider-Man?" I demanded, trying to see if the other Spider-Man was still in there somewhere… "You don't want me, you're about to be happily married!" I tried to reach him, "How did you know?" Peter paused, for a moment. "That you're engaged? The other you, is engaged…" I explained, "Am I happy?" He gazed me, the yearning deeply glistening in his hazel, green eyes… "Only you can answer that question." I somberly replied. "Are you the one, I'm engaged to?" He asked me, holding me in a tighter headlock and pressing his chest and the front of his suit, against my back and backside… "NO! You're engaged to whoever your MJ, is… The other MJ, the one you're meant for." I added still trying to break free, struggling as I noticed Strange was working his magic to stop Peter's grip on me. "But I Love You, Sukai!" Peter suddenly confessed, turning me chest-to-chest with him… "The other you may feel that way, but it's only temporary… Trust me, Peter. You don't want me!" I pleaded with him, "And forgive me…" I whispered quickly kissing him on the cheek as Strange's powerful binding magic worked wonders around Peter! "Love ISN'T temporary!" Peter shouted, being bound by Strange's magic… "Lust IS!" Stephen shouted as we shared a quick hug, and continued looking for another Universe to enter. "Okay, so, we're clearly NOT together, romantically in this Universe…" Stephen thought aloud, somberly. "Apparently not…" I snapped, frustrated as he gripped my wrist and Peter broke free of the binding with his Venomous powers! "I just gotta say, your friend Peter is a psycho…" Stephen added as the three of us suddenly entered in another, another Universe! "KYAAAAAAAHHH!" I shrieked, squealing as Stephen hugged me tightly and we landed in a darker version of New York, that was bordering on post-apocalyptic… "Where to next?" I asked Stephen, only to feel him standing in front of me. "You thought, you could just get rid of me, by traveling into a different Universe?" Peter smirked at me. "I take it, he's your stalker…" Stephen asked me. "I honestly wish I knew…" I felt my memories being warped and fading from my RAM… "Be careful what you wish for." Peter was ready to attack Stephen, as his powers intensified in this dark Universe! "You see, in this Universe, my powers are embraced…" Peter smirked at me, "I wouldn't be so sure of that!" I pointed at another Spider-Man, well, another, other Spider-Man in a blue-and-red, Raimi-esque suit being closed in a late-night viewing… "That's – that's me?" Peter gasped in shock. "DON'T!" Strange commanded, trying to help this Peter who raced to see if he was being buried next to his beloved, well his beloved of this Darkhold Universe… "Huhh, huhh!" Peter gasped as he felt Strange capturing him with his binding chains. "Wait, wait…" I paused, seeing the nearby tombstone in the graveyard of this Darkhold Universe. It was a bittersweet dream come true, it read my name next to this Darkhold Universe's version of my dream man, Mamoru Chiba and ex-lover in another Universe… "Cleared of manslaughter." I felt tears sliding down my cheeks, as I realized the memories weren't different and happy, the way I wanted. "Get back!" Stephen slammed Peter back onto the ground, and held me protectively; as I saw a group of thugs suddenly arriving and setting fire to my gravestone as well as Mamoru's… "You caused a chain reaction, by burning those memories." Stephen felt tears in his eyes, "By erasing them, you've caused them to be erased in every Universe…" He sniffled. "It's irrelevant, Stephen…" I sniffled as I side-hugged him lovingly. "Not, it's not. If your memory is destroyed here, it'll be destroyed in every universe." Peter panted in his frustration as he forced himself up… "No-one will remember me…" I realized it, in the nick of time!

Memory Lane…
"Yes, they will… They'll remember all the good, you've done." Stephen realized why I didn't want to become his savior and help the Multiverse, right as I felt myself starting to fall for him… "NO!" Peter roared, stopping him from starting the spell to erase his memories of himself and me. "You can't change my mind, kid…" Stephen coldly kicked Peter to the ground. "If you really loved her, you wouldn't let this happen…" He was talking to himself, aloud… "Stephen?" I blushed, as I realized there was no other way… "What?" He demanded, ready to initiate the sacrificial spell. "In the grand scheme of the Multiverse, this kiss will be a minor event!" I shouted loudly and proudly, causing Peter and the thugs to turn to me, in shock. "Hmm?" He demanded, as I suddenly French-kissed him passionately on the lips… "Hmmm?" I felt my eyes widening, as we made out passionately for a few moments, only to… Yup, you guessed it, be transported to yet another Universe! "WOOO! Yeaa, finally!" A crowd of people were cheering us on, as we suddenly realized where we were. "An engagement?" I asked Stephen, as I realized we were wearing fancy, dress clothes. "Our engagement…" He grunted, groaning a bit in my ears… "Oh?" I lifted an eyebrow, only to notice a ring on my ring-finger with his name engrained within it. "In this Universe, apparently we are really happy…" I thought aloud. "Are you happy?" Stephen asked me, gazing deeply into my eyes… "With you, you're my hero…" I blushed, only to realize I had said that aloud. "Wait, did I just say that aloud?" I asked him, "Uhh, yea…" He teased me, with an oddly gleeful, handsome grin. As we both saw Wong, his wife, and the Evil Peter who had been waiting for me, from a distance… "Looks like we have company." I whispered to him, lovingly. "Skye, Stephen…" Peter buttoned his jacket and shook Stephen's hand firmly… "Congratulations!" He took us both by shock, as I steadily nodded. "Thank you?" I asked him, as he shook my hand. "You're welcome, I'm so happy you finally found someone!" Peter sounded a little too nice, even for Peter B.J. Parker… "Thanks, I appreciate it." Stephen stood in front of me, protecting me, again. "Yea, I'm really happy… Because, she's not worthy of you!" Peter suddenly transformed into an even stronger, Venomous version of his Spider-Man-self! "Oh, lovely…" I facepalmed, "Could you at least, wait until the rehearsal dinner?" Stephen made a point, lolz. "Point taken, also my girlfriend…" Peter suddenly stabbed me in my shoulder with a powerful sleep-inducing toxin, in a rather large, green syringe… "KYAAAAHHH… Stephen…" I squealed, passing out, in Stephen's arms as Wong and the other, other universe's projections of people disappeared… "It's a fucking trap!" He griped, "And, she's mine, again, NOW!" Peter used his venomous webbing to put me into his arms, bridal-style… "Mine now or mine again, choose one…" Strange snapped. "You're dreamwalking, you SON OF A BITCH!" Strange suddenly passed out, realizing that his drink he had taken a sip of in the other, other universe had been spiked by the Evil Peter's evil plans!
"Uggh… Where the hell, am I?" I suddenly awoke in a uniquely designed, high-tech clear prison cell with various Venomous specimens slapping around the cell, preventing me from escaping… "You're in a high-tech prison cell…" Peter/Justin (Alvarez) snapped, still wearing his venomous suit. "That's not what she meant…" Stephen retorted, as I realized he was in the cell in front of mine… "Stephen," I blushed, forcing myself up as I realized my hands were cuffed in even more high-tech, glowing handcuffs. "That coffee, we drank was spiked by that bastard who thinks he's Spider-Man, in every Multiverse…" Strange nodded to me, as I tried to recall those specific memories… "Why?" I thought aloud, "Because I love you, Skye!" Peter exclaimed, "No, not that… I mean, why can't I remember?" I asked myself, thinking aloud… "That's my line." Stephen corrected Peter, shamelessly. "He must've spiked your coffee, with some sort of enhanced toxin…" Stephen explained, giving a fairly accurate diagnosis. "And/or that drug he put you to sleep with, has something to do with it." He added, gazing at me as I felt my hands reaching for his. "Seems legit…" I agreed, "But you kissed me?" Stephen gazed at me once again, piercing my soul with his shimmering, blue eyes full of oceans of memories and deeply thoughtful yearnings, for me… "In the grand geometry of the Multiverse, it was a minor sacrifice…" I sighed, trying not to smile. "So, how have you been dreamwalking, Parker?" Stephen demanded to Peter. "My friend, Wanda… She's been helping me, reach inside myself and realize what I truly wanted to do, in every universe…" Peter smirked, revealing he stolen the necklace that once held the Eye of Agamotto and was using in his experimental works with his symbiotic lifeforms. "Soon enough, Skye won't even be worried about you, Dr. Stephen Strange, Sir." Peter coldly grinned… "Peter! Justin!" I called to him, still trying to reach the friend I thought I knew, in the other universe… The other, other universe! "My name IS Peter! Peter B.J. Parker! And I AM VENOM!" He exclaimed, "Whoever the Justin-kid was inside me, he's long-gone and so are the restraints he once had for you…" Peter corrected me, cruelly. "Don't tell me, you've found a strong Darkhold within?" I asked him, facepalming… "You can find Darkholds within yourself?" Stephen was impressed. "Yes, I removed a couple from within myself, a few years ago…" I nodded to Strange, sheepishly. "Peter, listen to me! If you really love me, you'll let me and Strange go… You don't remember what Aunt May said?" I asked him, banging on the impenetrable clear walls of my cell, as the creatures slapped back at me. "Don't you care?!" I shouted, "Back off…" I hissed to the venom specimens… "Huhh, they listen to you, too…" Peter noticed that. "Peter, will this really make you happy? Will trapping me and Stephen in this weird-ass social experiment, help you feel better about the fact that you chose to sacrifice MJ for her own good and for the real reason of what love is? There is no love, that happens without some sacrifices…" I went on to do my heroic speech. [Sukai: That's what the baddest do]… "I know, you're giving me the silent treatment… I probably gave my ex-friends that were fuckboys that too. But, that doesn't change the fact, that what you're doing is unhealthy. If you really love me, you'll let me go! Me and Stephen…" I explained, trying to reach Justin, my friend, one of the few kind Justin-s I knew of… "Peter, tell me, what comes with great power?" I demanded, "With great power must also come –
"GREAT RESPONSIBILITY!" He roared, now sobbing. "You make great points, Sukai… I thought you would, especially seeing as you abandoned me, in Our Universe." Peter snapped, "What?" I asked him, as the specimens suddenly slid away from my cell and the advanced software showed me memories of my life with Peter in his other universe. "We made out, we made love, I thought you were the one going to show me that love exists for me, for real… I had so much guilt over losing MJ, she died, shortly after the events with Strange. Boston has a crime rate and she unfortunately didn't make it… But, you, Skye… You were an angel, platinum blonde hair, dark eyes of ember, you're a savior. You were my savior! You made me feel safe, good, happy, at home… And, then out of nowhere, without warning, you disappeared…" Peter explained, sobbing as he sat down in front of my cell; Stephen listened to him, intently. "Peter, please hear me out… I'm sure we loved each other, in your universe. But, I can't be your savior… I have greater responsibilities, I'm sorry I left you, but I can't do anything to help the Multiverse stuck in here." I gently spoke to him, still trying to reach the friend, I felt I had lost… "The Illuminati will see you now, Doctor Strange…" Doctor Strange's old frenemy, Sorcerer Supreme Karl Modo announced. "The Illuma-what-ee?" Stephen lifted an eyebrow. "Sailor Moon, you stay with the emotional Venom-Man…" Karl explained to me, "It's Spider-Man." Peter snapped. "Same difference, Specimen-Man…" Stephen rolled his eyes with a certain snark in his tone… "Wait! Can I at least, hug him goodbye?" I asked, as I bowed to Karl respectfully. "It's an ancient tradition…" Karl was impressed, "Yea, bowing to the Sorcerer Supreme, I know…" Stephen wasn't. "Fine, one hug, then the Illuminati will see you, Doctor Strange." Karl allowed it, as Peter temporarily allowed us to walk free of our cells and tamed his venomous specimens long enough to witness our goodbyes. "Dr. Strange," I hugged him tightly, as he carefully paid attention to how Peter allowed my handcuffs to break for a little bit. "Call me, Stephen…" He blushed, filling the emotions bubbling up inside of him... "Stephen, thank you for everything… I'm sorry, I can't be your savior." I whispered, as we hugged tightly and I slid my fingers through his hair, caressing him tenderly. "Me too, Sailor Moon…" Stephen sniffled, trying not to cry too visibly… "Hmm?" He blushed, feeling my hand rubbing his cheek, only for him to passionately kiss me on the lips. "Hmm, hmm… Llomp, llomp… I'll be back." He whispered to me, "For now, keep that emotional Specimen-Man happy." Stephen gazed at me, as we gently broke the kiss. "Yeaa…" I agreed, as Karl headed to the arena where the Illuminati passed their judgments; and Stephen was rudely guided out by a bunch of rude-ass cyborgs… [Stephen *flirtatiously*: Language? Sukai: And it only gets harsher 😉 😉]! "Well, you've got me alone with you… Gonna put me back in the cell, until I fall in love with you or something, like that?" I asked Peter, in frustration… "I saw the way you kissed him, back. You love him, Skye." Peter knew that much. He knows that much! I thought, waiting for the next step in my fate… "I know that much." He confessed, "No shit, Sherlock…" I snapped. "Well?" I asked him. "But, I wanted you, Skye. From the millisecond I saw you, I knew we were a perfect match." Peter went on to confess. "You still don't remember the other you? You don't care, do you, Peter?" I asked him tenderly. "The other me died that day, I saw how beautiful you look in red…" Peter blushed deeply. "Red?" I lifted an eyebrow… "Peter?! Justin, Justin! She's in your head, don't let her possess you… Don't let the Darkhold take you over, you can fight it! You've already got venom, in you… That's more than enough! PETER!" I pleaded pushing him back with my hands, as he tried to pull me into his arms. "Let Venom fight her! You're STRONGER than this, you deserve better than this!" I called to him, suddenly realizing I had reached the friend I thought was long-gone in this other, other universe… Other universe! "Huhh?" I gasped, seeing a flashback of my friend Justin Alvarez having an argument with his now ex-fiancée, to which he said… "You're STILL in love with her!" His ex-fiancée shouted at him, triggering my own fearful instincts. "Ella, you're stronger than this! You deserve better than this! You have nothing to be jealous of… She's just a close friend." Justin reassuring gave her, a sense of relief and slight heir of sorrow… "I'm not ready for marriage, Justin…" Ella snapped sliding her ring off her finger, and leaving the room. "ELLA, ELLA, WAIT!" Justin pleaded, sobbing. "Can you stay? Can you stay? Just until after everyone thinks we're married?" He sobbed. "That's the other me?" Peter turned from the memories, and gazed at me… "Apparently. Firstly, I just want to say, I had no idea… And it's none of my business. You do whatever makes you happy." I explained, immediately backing off as Peter using his venom abilities to slash the memory into fragments. "I'll tell you what makes me happy, right now! Skye, you read right through me… And never dared to say anything, even slightly curious. You just supported my other self, you tried to deny it… That's why you left me, in Our Universe!" Peter was even more determined, now. "Why do you keep saying OUR universe?" I asked him, finally too confounded to leave it alone… "We all have inner universes, but those universes coexist within the Multiverse… And, we have one together, Skye." Peter smirked, "The other me, was a pathetic, spineless punk and that girl wasn't MJ! Clearly!" He added angrily… "That's NOT my relationship! It's NOT my responsibility to keep your ex unaware of what you felt for me… The other you, that is!" I retorted, amazed by his stubbornness. "What do you want?" I finally demanded in a firm, strong tone… "You, Skye… I want us, I want us to be in our reality, together." Peter was being entirely selfish. "Peter," I paused feeling his hands gripping my wrists… "Peter… What'll make you happy, not in the future… But, right now?" I swallowed my fears, in that moment and made my decision. "For you to kiss me, the way you kissed Strange…" Peter knew the request would be nearly impossible! "Peter, I don't even know if he reciprocates my feelings, right now…" I blushed deeply. "He does. Believe me, I was his friend in another Universe." He replied confidently… "The way he looks at you, the way you look at him. There's something there, that was just waiting to reveal itself." Peter knew it. "Well, if it makes you happy…" I agreed, but I had a trick up my sleeve, as well. "Just promise me, one thing…" I trailed off, as I wrapped my arms around the back of his neck. "That's more like it, Skye." Peter grunted, gleevilly! 😉 😉 "You won't scream, when it goes in…" I whispered seductively, as I leaned into to kiss him, and right as he closed his eyes, nearly kissing me – "OWWW!" He groaned, in agony feeling me stabbing him with a syringe of healing serum, freeing him of the venomous specimen that had been possessing him. "Now, please tell me, you don't love me and don't want me…" I stood up confidently, "I'm sorry, Skye… Those voices, they're gone." Peter found himself, again… "So, you don't want to destroy the entire Multiverse just to be with me?" I asked him, feeling a bit of relief. "No, I don't." He replied, drying his eyes… "So, Justin… You're back to yourself and you'll work things out with Ella?" I asked him, in a warm, friendly tone. "I'm still Peter, and that still doesn't apply, Sukai…" Peter smirked at me, though he was freed from venom's grasp on him, Wanda was still very much in his head! "Skye, how many times do I have to say I love you, before you give in?" He asked me, flirtatiously as I backed off watching him forcefully pull the syringe out of the side of his neck. "You're gonna regret that, kid…" Stephen's voice echoed, and I felt relieved, again! "Stephen!" I grinned, excitedly as Stephen revealed he had managed to escape the Illuminati or what was left of it, somewhat safely… "I'm sick of waiting, make ME HAPPY!" The Evil Peter growled, suddenly penning me harshly against the wall and forcing his tongue down my throat, kissing me hard… "Hmm? Hmm…" I blushed hard, as I finally drop-kicked him in the crotch. "Your happiness is your own responsibility, Peter!" I snapped, as Stephen smoothly hopped down, and his cloak reattached to him; as he safely removed the Eye of Agamotto from Peter's lab-kit… "I will get payback, this time, Specimen-Man!" Stephen was legitimately furious with Peter, now, and he used his powers to beat him, nearly to a pulp. Right as it started, I was wiping Peter's taste off my lips… "Stephen, Stephen?" I gasped, "She's using this wannabe-Spider-Man to get into your head, don't let her!" I touched his cloak gently and he felt his body instantly calming down… "We've gotta find our way, outta here!" I pleaded with him, lovingly. "Okay, but first…" He held my cheeks lovingly, "Hmm… Hmm…" We shared an intensely passionate kiss on the lips. "Let's save the French-kissing, for later…" Stephen teased me, slightly cruelly… "Though, I'm slightly offended by your statement, I can agree with you! Now, we've gotta find the Other, other you…" I nodded as we interlocked our fingers and hands only to see a portal of Multiverse travel open for us, instantly and beautifully… "I guess, two heads are better than one…" I half-joked. "I guess, we're saving the Multiverse…" Stephen smirked confidently at me. "We are?" I was catching on, bit by bit, universe by universe… 😉 😉 "I realized, you can't do this alone… One multiverse traveler is not enough." Stephen smirked at me, "We need each other, Skye." He went on to explain, as I glanced at the beaten-up Spider-Man/Peter B.J. Parker who was forcing himself up, again with an even more tenacious glint in his deep, hazel-green eyes… "True, so, let's just go!" I agreed, "Not without me, Sukai Todd!" Peter was evilly determined, his reasoning was still beyond me, though as the three of us transported into the next, other, other, other, OTHER Universe…
#06:
Memory Lane… : I Got Love! Strangely…
This next universe was an oasis of sorts, it was a stunningly gorgeous, NON-allergenic, forest-like version of New York covered by the greenery and growth of all sorts of plants and beautiful, loving, seemingly pure animals… "Wow, maybe this is the Universe?" I thought aloud taking in the beauty of the Universe, the three of us all carefully walked into… Ironically enough. "The Universe where you and Dr. Strange are happily together…" Peter added. "Yeaa…" I agreed, seeing two small rabbits hopping away from me… "How did you know?" I asked Peter, curiously as I found myself petting a gentle, kind black cat. "I overheard you two chatting about it, in the coffee shop, in that other, other, other, other Universe." Peter explained confidently, as I felt the black cat eyeing me with its dark, chocolaty brown eyes… "Wait," I stopped momentarily, as the cat allowed my memories to come back, for the most part! We're happy, in every universe, Skye! Why don't you see that? We're perfect for each other… And, even though you prefer going solo, you need to face your fears of being an Avenger. I heard Stephen's thought loud, crisp, calm and clear… As I felt the memories playing back, in front of me, Stephen who walked next to me and Peter who stood on the other side of me… "Skye, if you're really an Avenger, and you really believe in the power of love…" Strange told me, in the coffee shop, as I noticed Peter from the corner of my eye staring at me intently. "You mean, the power of Teamwork." I corrected him, in a friendly mannerism, as I sipped my iced coffee and ate my pizza slice.
"Ah, power of teamwork… I'm pretty sure that's not how it went. But, if you really believe in the power of teamwork, we're going to have to work together, somehow." Strange explained flirting with me, a bit. "You can't just make out with me, we still hardly know each other…" I replied, really enjoying the meal only to feel Stephen sliding his thumb and index fingers across the edge of my lips, and wiping off the droplet of cheese that was on my lips. "Point taken, but we can't just let The Scarlet Witch – "Miss Wanda?" I asked him, curiously. "Yes, that's another name for her… We can't just let her take over the Multiverse. Besides, your collectibles managed to be in Wong's care in Sanctorum…" He explained confidently. "Are you watching closely?" Strange smirked cockily, using a clever British accent to turn me on… 😉 😉 "Really?" I was astonished, and a bit impressed. "You're blushing…" He grinned at me, "You're the one blushing!" I retorted, giggling a bit… "No, no, you're blushing, I can tell…" He chuckled, as we played a couple of games of footy [Sukai: Aka who can pull the other person's sock down the fastest, in the most seductive ways possible?] with each other, shamelessly. "I'd like to debate that, with the fact that you're smiling more than I've ever seen!" I giggled back, "Is that a fact? Maybe, I am…" He was falling for me. "So, is my humor still flat?" He asked me, directly as he slid my sock down slightly. "Tell me a joke…" I asked him, flirting a bit more forwardly… "Where does Spider-Man shoot his webs from?" Strange was clearly joking, "His wrists, obviously…" I found myself lolzing, at that one… "I mean, that was debunked, a while back." I was truly lolling, remembering that part of the Multiverse that helped me have No Way Home… 😉 😉! [Sukai: Sorry NOT Sorry]! "Well, yeaa, obviously… But, well, I'm not entirely sure if that's a fact." Stephen tried not to be a smartass, but he came off as a try-hard smartass which made me laugh even harder… "Really?" I asked him, "Well, if we can't kiss, how can we figure this madness out?" He asked me finally drying up… "We can always start with a hug." I suggested finishing up the iced coffee, as he gazed at me, in amazement. "What?" I asked him… "Do you know, how much more sexual a hug is, compared to a kiss?" Stephen was more confounded than anything. "Well, I think it's all dependent on your perspective…" I replied, thinking aloud. "Will that be all?" The waiter asked me, "I'm paying…" Strange had already paid the tab, for us, before I could get my wallet out; and the waiter resembled Bruce Campbell… Oh, well! "So, I'm guessing we need to get used to hugging each other." He suggested, unusually sheepishly… "It's a good start." I nodded blushing a bit harder, as we headed out of the diner and back onto the streets, where Peter had first start brawling with Strange! And he witnessed my most recent 2021-2022 traumatizing memories… "I think, I get it now…" I thought aloud, as the memories stopped playing for a moment and I gazed at Stephen who was gazing at me. "Tell me, what is it you've learned?" He asked me, thoughtfully. "That it's not about being in control, all the time… I have to take a leap of faith, and trust that even if it ends up hurting me, in the end, I can still help so many people through what I learn by being with you, Stephen Strange." I explained, filling tears in my eyes. "I have to face my fears…" I sniffled, feeling Stephen holding my waist and using his fingers to gently wipe eyes; and caress my cheek lovingly. "I had to learn the same thing. Don't be afraid…" He gently pressed his forehead against mine, and it suddenly clicked! "Huhh?" I gasped, as we FINALLY return to whatever was happening with The Scarlet Witch, Miss Wanda Maximoff and Supreme Sorcerer Wong, back in another, the other, other, other, other, other, OTHER universe…
To Be Continued, BITCHES!
