"Are you guys gonna be okay?" Peter asked. "Why did that guy destroy your school? What does he want? What's gonna happen?"
Stephen opened his mouth to answer but was nailed in the face with a pillow.
"No spoilers!" Clint yelled, getting ready to throw another pillow.
He slowly walked out to the base of a large staircase and looked around. He was in a large house, maybe even a mansion, that seemed completely empty.
He tried to catch his breath and looked around, seeing a large set of doors at the end of hallway. He quickly hurried over to them and threw them open.
Stephen stumbled outside while rubbing his forehead, surprised to see busy New York traffic. He stared confused at the cars and the people walking past him on the street. He turned back to the building he just walked out of and saw an address on the door.
'177A Bleecker Street' it said. Stephen looked up at the large building. It looked exactly like all the others except the symbol of agamotto was on the roof.
"It's your magical house!" Peter squealed. "We should all have a sleepover there! It would be so much fun!"
"Yeah!" Shuri cheered.
"No." Stephen said sternly.
"Ah, come on! It would be fun!" Peter said.
"Last time I visited, I opened an innocent looking closet, and it turned out to be a 'Wardrobe of Infinite Horrors.'" Christine said. "I had nightmares for weeks."
"That wasn't my fault." Stephen protested. "I told you not to touch anything unfamiliar."
"Who keeps a Wardrobe of Infinite Horrors IN THEIR LIVING ROOM?!" Christine asked.
"I still think it would be fun." Peter said. "We just won't touch the freaky stuff."
"Our basement is housed by ghosts." Wong says casually.
"...And... I'm out…" Peter said.
Stephen rushed back inside and quickly shut the doors behind him. He let out of panicked breath before slowly walking into the entryway of the building, looking around for anyone else.
"Hello? Hello?" Stephen called as he walked down a large empty corridor.
He walked up and paused before three glass doors. Each one had a strange dial on the side. One of the doors led to a forest. Another door led to wide open ocean. And the last door led to a mountain range.
Stephen opened the middle door that led to the ocean and leaned out. The salty water splashed on his face as the waves crash around him. He slowly shut the door and twisted the dial next to it. The ocean was immediately changed to a desert.
"Cool." Multiple people said at once.
"The science behind that must be revolutionary!" Tony said before turning to Stephen. "I want to make a bargain. You let me check out all your cool toys and I'll owe you a favor."
"You might want to be careful." Stephen smirked. "I'm very patient and persistent when it comes to bargaining."
Stephen walked through another room that had many relics displayed on shelves and in glass containers
"Hello?" He yelled.
Stephen passed by the relics without a second thought, but paused in front of one large glass case. Inside was a red Cloak that was hovering above the floor. Stephen turned and walked away, looking to see if anyone else was there.
"Its Levy!" Peter cheered.
"We never agreed on that name." Stephen groaned.
At the very front of the room was the large glass window with the symbol of agamotto on it. Strange went up to touch it, but stopped when he heard an odd noise. It sounded like ice shattering and it was coming from downstairs. Stephen cautiously walked to the top of the stairs and look down.
A man in robes with standing with a weapon in his hands in front of the door. Suddenly this door started twisting and turning and he backed up in fear. Kaecilius and two of his henchmen walked through the door slamming it shut behind him.
"Daniel. I see they made you Master of the Sanctum." Kaecilius snarled at the man. "Do you know what that means? That you'll die protecting it."
Kaecilius two henchman immediately lunged for the man trying to attack him. The man was able to hold his own and fought valiantly. However, he was not quick enough for one of the henchmen cut a knife into his leg and the man fell to his knees.
"Oh! He needs some milk!" Shuri yelled.
"YES!" Peter cheered and high fived her.
"Huh?" Natasha said.
"I didn't understand that reference…" Steve said.
"Hey, Shuri, how much money do you have?" Peter asked.
"69 cents." She replied.
"You know what that means?"
"I don't have enough fo a chicken nugget." She said sadly. Peter and Shuri looked sad for a moment before laughing hysterically.
"What. Is. Happening?" T'Challa slowly.
"We're billionaires, " Tony said confused as he gestured at himself and T'challa. "Do you need help with money, or…"
"WHAT ARE THOSE?" Peter and Shuri yelled in unison and pointed at Wanda's shoes.
"Those are my shoes?" Wanda asked skeptically.
"Oh, I wish Groot was here." Peter giggled. "He'd love this."
"I believe what Shuri and Peter are referring too is an internet sensation named Vine that has recently lost popularity due too-" Vision started to say, but was cut off.
"Peter, want some coke?" Shuri asked as she tossed him an empty can.
"Dis empty!" Peter said. Clint suddenly plucked the can out of Peters hands.
"YEET!" Clint yelled as he chucked it across the room.
Clint, Shuri and Peter fell on the floor laughing while everyone stared at them with confused and slightly concerned expressions.
"I have kids." Clint explained between laughs. "Of course I know what Vine is."
"Can we please just watch this? As soon as this is over you three kids can do whatever you want." T'challa said.
They went back to their seats, still laughing. It took Clint a good five minutes to realize T'challa had insulted him.
"Stop!" Stephen shouted and leapt over the railing and landed at the top of the stairs.
Kaecilius looked up at the angry Doctor Strange.
"How long have you been at Kamar-TaJ, Mister...?" Kaecilius asked as he approached the top of the stairs.
"Doctor."
"Mister Doctor?
"It's Strange." Stephen sighed.
"Maybe. But who am I to judge?" Kaecilius said.
"Mr. Doctor?!" Tony laughed. "Oh, forget all the other nicknames I came up with. From now on you shall only be known as Mister Doctor!"
"Noooooo." Stephen groaned.
Kaecilius stabbed the injured man through the chest and he immediately collapsed. Stephen yelled and made a quick motion with his hands that materialized an orange whip of electricity. Kaecilius smirked and sprinted up the side of the wall like he was some sort of a spider and lept towards Stephen.
Stephen looked to his side, surprised, and brought his hands up to defend himself but not quickly enough. Kaecilius kicked him in the chest and he went flying. Stephen fell off the side of the railing and landed with a thud on the ground. In seconds the two henchmen were on him, trying to take him down. Stephen defended himself against them using the orange electric whip that was in his hands.
He climbed over the railing back into the top of the stairs and threw a vase at them. It hit the henchmen and they went falling back to the main floor. Kaecilius threw a knife at Stephen, which he caught with his whip and sent it flying away. Kaecilius glared and ran up the stairs towards him. Stephen turned and started to his left as fast as he could.
Stephen turned down a long corridor and ran as fast as he could and then attempted to get away. Kaecilius stepped behind him and with a smirk he made a quick motion with his hands. He made the hallway stretch, so now even though Stephen was running, he wasn't going anywhere. Stephen look back in horror and kept trying to run to no prevail.
He turned around and summoned shields which he held in each hand, however, the one that he was holding in his right-hand flickered for a moment before disappearing.
"You did it wrong." Loki sang.
"Oh, shut it." Stephen growled.
"You're supposed to do it like this." Loki said. With a quick flick of his wrist a small green shield materialized in his hand.
"Humph." Stephen said and crossed his arms.
Kaecilius smirked and jumped up, flipping mid-air and standing on the ceiling. His two henchmen ran on the walls towards Stephen. He was able to defend himself at first, but then one of them knocked him to the ground. Stephen held up his shield just in time to avoid getting kicked in the face by one of the henchmen. However, he still went flying backwards from the force of the kick. Stephen summoned another whip and sent it flying at one of the henchmen, striking them and knocking them back. They fell unconscious to the ground.
Kaecilius just laughed and made a quick motion with his hands that shifted gravity. Stephen fell to his right and his head smashed through a window. Kaecilius flipped gravity again and Stephen went flying in the opposite direction. Stephen desperately tried to grab on to something, and just barely caught a door handle to one of the teleporter rooms. The door hinges creaked slightly before snapping and falling, taking Stephen with them. Stephen caught onto a coat hanger and hung there for a moment. He looked down and saw that Kaecilius and his henchmen were standing in front of the teleporter rooms.
He let go and with a yell he fell down with great speed towards Kaecilius and his two henchmen. Kaecilius and one of the henchmen head the common sense to move out of the way, but the other one stood their ground. Stephen fell on to them and tackled them, and they both went flying out of one of the teleporter rooms into the barren desert. The henchmen fell face-first into the sand, but Stephen was able to catch himself on the door. He hoisted himself back into the room and looked out. The henchmen was running towards him trying to get back. Stephen grabbed the knob and twisted it, changing the landscape so that they couldn't come through.
"Yeah!" Peter cheered. "He just got-"
"Kid, if you make one more Vine or Me Me reference, so help me." Bucky groweld.
"... It's pronounced Meem, not Me Me..." Peter said after a moment.
He turned around to see Kaecilius holding two blades in each hand. Kaecilius tried to slash Stephen across the face, but Stephen ducked. Stephen shoved him from behind and darted out of the room into a hallway. Stephen paused and shoved a giant bookshelf to the ground to slow Kaecilius down and continued running away.
Stephen ran up the stairs back with Kaecilius hot on his heels. Stephen leapt to the side just in time to avoid being stabbed. Stephen ran over to a shelf and grabbed a yellow glowing cauldron and held it out.
"Ha!" Stephen yelled. Kaecilius stepped back cautiously, eyeing the cauldron in fear. Neither of them did anything for a few moments.
"You don't know how to use that, do you?" He asked.
"uhh…" Stephen glanced at it before throwing it at Kaecilius. Kaecilius easily knocked it aside and lunged for him.
"Why would you throw the Cursed Cauldron of Cambria!?" Loki asked, frustrated. "Do you have any idea what would have happened if it would've combusted?"
"That's some nice use of alliteration Mr. Loki." Peter said. Loki glared at him.
"Of course I know what would happen. I mean, I do now." Stephen said.
"Imbecile." Loki groaned as he pinched the bridge of his nose and shook his head.
Kaecilius grabbed a pillar and swung himself towards Stephen. Stephen was knocked back and crashed through many glass cases containing relics. One of the cases he crashed through contained The red cloak from earlier, and it was knocked aside.
Kaecilius picked up Stephen by his hair and thrust his knife at him. However, the Cloak of Levitation stopped the blade. Kaecilius jerked Stephen up and tried to stab him again, but once more the cloak stopped him. He tried stabbing him again, and again, but each time the cloak blocked it and protected him. Kaecilius growled and kneed Stephen in the face and tossed them aside.
Stephen tried to stumble to his feet but wasn't fast enough. Kaecilius hit him again and he went flying backwards. Stephen turned around, summoning a weapon to his hands, but he was too late. Kaecilius jumped up and kicked Stephen in the chest hard. Stephen went flying backwards over a railing and plummeted multiple floors down.
Kaecilius smirked and glanced over the edge confidently. As soon as he looked over the edge however, he backed up and surprise with wide eyes. Stephen was floating in the air, being held up by the red Cloak of Levitation.
