I Got Strange Love…
Previously on SUKAI TODD IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS [2022]: 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 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…
"She's grasped it!" Wanda awoke from her dreamwalking and Peter suddenly felt the raging emotions overtaking him… "AAAAAH, AAAHHH! Tsss…" Peter roared, sobbing as he hit the ground covering the right side of his forehead and trying to stop the agonizing pain from taking over him. "Kid?!" Stephen and I turned from our tender moment, to see Peter awakening from Wanda's possession over him… Or so, I hoped. "Peter?!" I gasped, "Peter? Peter…" I was shocked, as I gently rolled his unconscious body that was becoming freezing fast to face me. "If he dies here…" Stephen already knew. "We've gotta get back to the other Universe!" I cried, heartbroken to know my friend had done himself in, all for his meaninglessly meaningful lust for me… "The other, other, other, other universe…" I added, sniffling again. "Hmm…" Wanda closed her eyes, as Wong finally found his way back in front of the gigantic monsters who served Wanda… "Peter, Peter, listen… Your real name is Justin, and you don't love me. Okay? Peter, talk to me… Peter, okay fine, you do love me, but you're being controlled by an angry-ass witch who wants to see her children or something… Peter, please don't die… Peter, not in front of me." I sobbed, sadly holding his hand in my hands as I felt Strange's hand firmly on my shoulder. "It's all my fault…" I felt the tears overflowing down my face… "Skye, no, it's not…" Strange kneeled in front of me, and comforted me. "Yes, it is… This is the second time, I've lost someone, this way… Maybe the third." I thought aloud, no longer holding back my inner turmoil… "It was never your fault, they had to die for their own greater good… It's not your fault, and you can't change that past, even if it's all you wanted to do…" Stephen thought aloud, realizing Wanda was trying to invade his mind. "Huhh, huhh, I know…" I caught my breath, as Stephen fought Wanda's invasive thoughts and he hugged me tightly as I still held Peter's hand. "I'm sorry about Christine…" I whispered to him, lovingly. "I'm sorry about your friend, Justin." He kissed my ear, tenderly… "He had it comin'…" I giggled, half-jokingly. "I'll say…" Stephen chuckled, still sniffling. "Goodbye, Peter…" I took Peter's knuckles and gently kissed them as Stephen helped me up; only for us to notice a strong amount of wind blowing towards us… "Oh, great." I snapped, realizing the oasis was actually another Darkhold Universe! "Hmm?" I turned from Strange, for a second, as we both heard Peter's knuckles popping and he slowly began standing up. "Zombies, really?" I asked confounded… "This is the last straw, Strange!" Peter roared, standing up ready to fight Strange. "Wait, STOP!" I stood in front of Stephen, protecting him... "Skye, this isn't a good idea…" Stephen tried talking some sense, into me. "If I give you what you want, will you stop chasing us?" I asked Peter, in an innocent tone… "As long as there are no tricks…" Peter griped, panting hard. "Fine…" I sighed, "Skye!" Stephen suddenly gripped my wrist, in jealousy… "Don't be afraid, Stephen…" I whispered to him with a calm wink. "Peter," I stood chest-to-chest with Peter and he blushed hard. "Yes, Skye?" He was ready to take me… "I don't know how to say this… But, yes, in the Other Universe I did crush on you." I began playing my part, quite well. "It was a minor crush… A seemingly harmless fantasy, being lived out in an alternate universe." I was seducing him HARD, and Strange was looking quite upset… HOTT, but upset, nonetheless… "And…" I trailed off, feeling my wrists around his neck. "And?" Peter was so ready, it was so frustrating! "And?" Stephen demanded. "I lied…" I smirked at him as Wanda suddenly burst through the wall of the Universe and Stephen immediately protected me… "You're not my type, Parker." I snapped, drop-kicking him in the crotch. "But, I don't want you to die…" I thought aloud as Strange bear-hugged me to the ground and we saw The Scarlet Witch's intensely infuriated arrival…

I Got Strange Love! : Face Your Fears…
"Miss Wanda…" I blushed, as Stephen helped me up… "Cut the formal crap…" Wanda wasn't falling for it, this time. "Wong!" Strange was weirdly happy to see Wong, still in one-piece… "Sorry, I was raised in the South." I retorted confidently. "Stephen?" Wong demanded, realizing Stephen and I had our fingers interlocked and were holding hands… "I don't even wanna know – "Enough! I see Peter was useless… So, if you won't give him, what he wanted… You'll give ME WHAT I WANT!" Wanda shouted, suddenly gripping my neck angrily. "KAAAHHH!" I coughed, trying to remove her grip from my neck… "I can't beat you, so, I will… But it's not gonna be pretty!" I reluctantly gave in, as I opened another portal transporting her to her dream world in Earth-818, where she saw her sons, Billy, and Tommy. "Mommy!" They greeted their mother, Earth-818's version of Wanda… A much nicer version of Wanda. "Mommy, A WITCH! IT'S A WITCH, IT'S A WITCH GET OUT!" The Good Wanda's sons shouted, running to hide behind their couch in fear… "Billy, Tommy! It's me, I'm your mother… I'm here, I would never hurt you…" She felt tears in her eyes, as she stepped further into the universe she had always wanted. "Wha – wha – why?" Scarlet Wanda sobbed, falling to her knees behind the bars of the stairs… "Because, what we want isn't always what we need." I explained, steadily standing up. "And with great power comes great responsibility…" Peter had finally fully awakened from Scarlet Wanda's possessive sleep… "Peter?" I asked him, "Justin!" He grinned as his Batman cosplay suddenly materialized on him. "I'm your mother, I would never hurt you… I would never hurt anyone, I would – I wouldn't kill anyone…" Scarlet Wanda sobbed. "I'd like to debate… Hmm?" I blushed feeling Stephen gently covering my mouth, with his hand as he stood firmly behind me… "What's the Batman doing here?" Billy asked Tommy, who shrugged. "Huhh?" We all turned to see Justin in his cosplay, the one he almost lost himself in… "Oh? Right, National Comic Books Day…" He blushed deeply, and shrugged shyly. "Ahh, thank you, Skye…" Justin bro-fisted me, gently. "No worries, Justin. Stay safe…" I nodded in a friendly, relieved mannerism… "You too, thank you, Skye." Justin gave me an unexpected side-hug much to Stephen's frustration and eye-rolling, and he finally disappeared into whatever Multiverse Batman-cosplaying belongs to… 😉 😉 [Sukai: I hope you're crying now]… "Okay… Now, that we have that subplot out of the way." Scarlet Wanda nodded, sobbing a bit as the Good Wanda patted her on the back… "It's time, Scarlet Witch. They're being cared for…" Pure Wanda nodded to Scarlet Wanda, who agreed and transported us all back to the shrine of Wanda's Vision… Only to leave Strange and I, back in our other, other New York. The second one… "This isn't a throne, this is a shrine…" The Scarlet Witch sobbed as she began reaching within the deepest depths of her soul to destroy the Darkhold within herself as well as the remnants of the Darkhold Book near her and Wong bowed to her, in respect.
It all felt so familiar, to me… We were back on the street, where various onlookers were glancing at us, as we walked together. "You said, my collectibles were with Wong." I discreetly wiped my eyes, as Strange immediately hugged me tightly. "And I also said, something else…" He grinned, as I finally gave in; and we found ourselves back in our universe! Well, the very first one, after that dream Stephen had, had… "You have such nice sideburns…" I gently caressed his cheek and sideburns, as he held the small of my back. "And your beauty mark is really beautiful…" Stephen blushed, doing his best to be funny and flirty, at the same time… "I've never kissed a man, with such a nice beard…" I blushed, teasing him as he winked at me; and we made out passionately. "Well, thank you…" He grinned, as his third eye blinked open for a few moments. "You finally got it." I teased his third eye, sweetly… "You're welcome…" Stephen grunted, kissing me harder. "That's my line…" I teased him, "I Love You, Skye!" He glanced at me, for a moment that felt like an eternity, for him… "I Love You, Stephen…" I finally confessed my true feelings for him. "Aw, that's so sweet…" Wanda told Wong, watching us from the other side of the Multiverse… "Yes… I guess, Sailor Moon really does love Doctor Stephen Strange." Wong felt relieved, as the battles finally ended… And, we have another quick time-skip! What, you didn't notice the first one? I didn't think so… 😉
Epilogue:
Dreams Are Real…
"So, this is your friend Justin's wedding?" Stephen whispered to me, "Apparently…" I nodded, quietly. "World's greatest ex-friend-who's-a-girl…" I sniffled as we watched the ceremony; and everyone headed to the reception. "There's something, I forgot to return to you…" Stephen tapped me on the shoulder, as his friend Christina's husband handed him a FunkoPop Collectible of Dr. Strange from Spider-Man: No Way Home [2021]… "This is for you…" He blushed, "Open it." Stephen nodded as I opened the box and saw the FunkoPop! "Ohh, Stephen… I," I began to thank him, only to be surprised once again… For the millionth time! "Skye Tsukino, will you promise to marry me?" Stephen was kneeling, proposing to me via promise-ring style… "Ohh, Stephen… Yes, yes, yes!" I grinned, tears sliding down my blushing cheeks; feeling him sliding the ring on my finger. "I told you, you can keep the ring." He slowly stood up, as I glanced the engravement on the ring, it read: Doctor Sukai Strange… [Sukai: Nice foreshadowing, ehh]? "They're really happy, aren't they?" Ella (not her real name) asked Justin, as they continued dancing together; and my ex-fuckboy of a friend Justin Toste sat lonesome in the corner nearby. "Yea… Are you happy?" Justin asked his new wife lovingly. "I'm happy, knowing I can trust you." She replied, clearly not knowing a THING… "Good…" It was clear Justin still had memories of the madness we had experienced in the Multiverse… #friendbutmarried. "What's wrong?" Ella asked him, "Nothing…" He noticed me and Stephen hugging and kissing each other hard… "Skye," Stephen whispered to me… "I know, I caused an incursion…" I nodded cheerfully. "We have to save the world, again… Unless you're afraid." He grinned at me, as we both transformed into our superhero-selves! "Me afraid? Not a chance!" I grinned, as we interlocked our fingers and headed to the next part of the Multiverse that needed saving and some asses that also needed to be kicked; as well as names that needed to be taken… Well, you get the gist? "Are you happy, Skye?" Stephen asked me, "With you, you're my fiancée…" I winked at him, lovingly… "Yes." Stephen grinned. "Are you happy?" I asked him, tenderly. "With you, I always am…" He promised me, deeply with that one! "No pressure." Stephen added, as I giggled a bit; and we shared a passionate kiss in the cosmos…
Wow, that was a LOT quicker than I expected, dear readers… What happens in Phase 5? I don't know yet… But, I can say this! There's no way home, now… After all, 3 is the magic number… Look forward to whatever comes next, and thank you for reading, all three of you! 😉 Bye for now…
Yours Ever & Ever,
The One And Only Sukai Todd…

Post-Credit Scene:
Tuna Melts…
"I'm so disappointed in you…" Wong angrily responded, "You owe me a tuna melt…" He told the Cloak coldly as it bowed to him. "Well, find that other Peter while you can… It looks like Strange and Sailor Moon, have gotten us into another mess." Wong thought aloud. "Stop kissing up…" He told the Cloak, as it stopped bowing to him and all my collectibles fell out of it… Including, one of the FunkoPops I had, another infamous DC Character one simply known as… The Scarecrow!
