Chapter 13: It's Not Easy Being Green
My first day of Team Building with the Avengers was…well…shall we say…eventful.
I called Stephen and told him about our dog Buddy following me through the portal. He was fine with him staying with me at the tower, given that he and Wong were going to be too busy to properly look after him. However, I could tell he was a little disappointed. Stephen may act aloof and above it all sometimes, but he really is an animal lover at heart, and he really enjoyed having Buddy around.
So once that was sorted and after a bit of socializing and chilling out for most of the morning, Tony decided that the first and most important thing we all needed was…
drumroll please…
"Trust exercises?" Natasha rolled her eyes. "What are we five?"
"No, but there are – wait a moment – one two-seven of us on the team, plus Sam who's in the bathroom. So that makes eight of us. Eight, great we can do stuff in pairs." Tony clapped his hands with a smirk.
Steve just rolled his eyes. The Man of Iron looked less like a fully-grown billionaire genius and more like an excitable child on a trip to the beach. He certainly had the gleaming eyes of a child right now-
His thoughts were interrupted by Thor who stood beside him with a confused frown.
"And pray tell what activities you have planned to improve our trust?"
"Well let's see here" Tony pulled up his datapad and flicked through an activities list.
"Oh, here's one that's fun. It's called minefield. Rules seem simple. We split into pairs, and one person has to direct their blindfolded partner around a crowded floor without them bumping into stuff"
"Good Lord this will be messy" Via grumbled but was ignored as pairs were assigned at random.
Steve and Bruce ended up working with one another, as did Natasha and Thor. Tony was with Sam, much to both their chagrin, and Via found herself standing side by side with Clint and smirking at the new pairs that were staring awkwardly at one another.
"I take it back. This is going to be interesting" she smirked as Clint snorted with quiet chuckles beside her.
A few minutes later half of them all had blindfolds on and were being led to different corners of the large common room area.
"You sure you wanna go first?" Via frowned as she gently pushed the archer in front of one of the armchairs.
"I'll be fine. It's those idiots I'm more worried about" Clint assured her as he flattened the blindfold over his eyes.
On the other sides of the room Thor, Steve and Sam were having their blindfold's secured by their partners.
Once they were all set Tony called out to all of them.
"Alright now I'm going to start the time. This group has ten minutes to direct their partner around the room WITHOUT letting them bump into anything, or anyone. You guys got that?"
"Got it!" they all shouted.
"Alright then, Jarvis start the clock!"
The blonde woman in the veil smirked to herself as she drew back the long sheet from on high.
It had taken her a long time to find this artefact, but it was worth it.
I just have to wait till the right moment…
Her lips curled.
Thanks to those Avengers, getting to the girl had been even trickier than before.
There was only so much she could do to upset her little apple cart from a distance.
The woman looked down at her hands. Skin that had once been luminescent and blemish free were already starting to look ever so slightly worn and wrinkled with age.
Just one spell…
She scowled waspishly as with a wave of her hand the skin tightened and smoothed back to the way it was.
I'm running out of time…
There was a strange thumping behind her and the woman in the veil turned around to face the source of the noise.
It was coming from a box. A strange small black box, that was rattling and shaking of its own accord. From inside it, amidst the thudding of its corners, were what could only be described as muffled shrieks of absolute terror.
The corners of the woman's red lips curled upwards in a sneer.
"I suppose you'll have to make do"
The first day of "team building" passed by smoothly (Despite Clint and Tony's attempts to have fun by sabotaging some of the more "boring" exercises")
The one thing that struck me most of all was just how dorky all these world-saving heroes were.
That's right. You heard me. Dorky.
Not that it's bad.
In fact, it was kinda a relief. Back when I first started working with the Avengers they always seemed so cool and above everything, which is true in some cases. But it never ceases to amaze me, to this day, just how out of place all of them would've been in the world if they didn't have one another.
Just like how I would've been out of place if I didn't have them.
Which brings me to the events of that first Team building night...
She wasn't sure what had happened.
One second she was standing in the shower, scrubbing off the sweat from her body. The next second she had slipped thudding heavily against the wall, panting as what felt like a wave of something cold swept through her.
Must be catching a chill.
She shuddered as she straightened up, her fingers trembling violently as she made to turn off the water.
Yeah, just a chill.
She told herself as she dried off, sighing as she wrapped herself snugly in her large fluffy white towel and stepped out into her room.
She smiled to herself as she caught sight of the golden sun, starting to dip below the horizon line of New York, staining the buildings gold in her line of sight.
Yes, her room at the Avengers Tower was impressive indeed.
And yet…
I'm overthinking things.
She shook her head, patting Buddy as he perked his head up from where he lay upon the end of her bed.
"I wish I could be as carefree as you" she leaned down to kiss the canine's dark wet nose. "Must be nice to be a dog. Just eating, sleeping and running around playing all day. No worries to bother you except for when you get your next treat. Ha!"
She laughed as he licked her face affectionately.
"I love you too."
She had just about finished tying the drawstring of her pants tight around her waist when her phone began buzzing.
"probably just Stephen" she murmured, doing her best to push down the shiver of fear that ran through her as she checked the number.
It wasn't Stephen.
It wasn't even Wong's number.
She stared at the screen.
Should she answer?
But before her head could even think, her fingers had already accepted the call and she had put the phone to her ear.
"Hello?"
But all she got was silence.
Silence except for the faintest crackles of white noise.
"Hello!" she tried again, torn between annoyance and the quickening of her heart "Whoever you are I can hear you breathing"
There was a hiss, as a breath was taken sharply, then a beep…
Then silence.
She pulled the phone away from her ear and looked down at it just in time to see the call end screen flicker off, only to be quickly replaced by the home screen.
"Weird" she whispered as she quickly flicked to her call history.
The number that showed looked very familiar, but for the life of her she couldn't remember where…
"Aura. Check for this number in my phone" she said and was pleased when Aura beeped a few seconds later.
"Check complete. You have had three correspondences in total with this phone number. Two calls and one message. All three have occurred within the last twenty-four hours"
The last twenty-four hours? But I haven't had much happen except…
"Mordo" Via bit her lip anxiously looking down at the number. "but no that couldn't be him."
Could it? I mean every time I've talked to him he's been acting strange…no…this didn't feel like him on the other end.
"So who could it be?"
Who indeed…
There was a knock at her door.
"Hey Vee!" She heard Natasha call through the wood, "Dinner's ready in the dining room."
"I'll be down in a sec, just getting dressed." Via smirked as she pulled a black shirt with the over her bra
"Before you come down could you fetch Tony from the Workshop. He wants to talk to you"
"Okay will do" she called back, only to shiver as a cold gust of breeze hit the back of her neck.
"Oh for gods sake" she muttered darkly as she looked around the room. It was then she noticed that one of her windows above her desk was still open a crack.
"No wonder it's chilly." She rolled her eyes to herself as she strode over and shut the window, not noticing the small black shape that detached itself from her shadow on the floor and slunk out from under the crack in her door.
There was the hard bang of wood against wall as a young man with olive skin and dark shaggy hair promptly slammed the door open to the study.
It was a small room, but tidy, neat and clean. Except for the desk on which several books lay open on various pages.
"Cassian? What's wrong?" the dark-skinned reader blinked in surprise from where he sat.
His brow furrowed concernedly as the younger man stormed over and slammed his small touch phone onto an empty space in front of him.
"Care to explain this Master Mordo!" Cassian snarled as he pulled up a phone number for his master to see under the name Olivia.
Mordo's eyes hardened as he picked up the phone and glared hard at the number. When he looked next up at Cassian, his eyes were ablaze with wrath.
"Where did you get this?" he rumbled, but Cassian was not deterred.
"You left it in the training room. I was going to return it…until I saw this…" he trailed off, unable to finish the sentence as a snarl crept up his face.
"Who I choose to contact on my personal device is my business Cassian" Mordo clipped coolly at his apprentice.
"You said you had severed all ties to the Order! That you wanted nothing more to do with them."
"And I still don't. This is just part of the plan."
"What plan? The plan to keep talking with your favourite little pupil behind my back. The same person who you know murdered my father? The same girl who-"
"The same girl who's currently living under the same roof as the next Sorcerer Supreme in training?" Mordo finished with raised eyebrows.
Cassian stared at him.
"You're using her to spy on Strange" he murmured in disbelief, his shock overtaking all his anger in a split second.
"Yes. I am" Mordo leaned back, relaxing as he saw his protégé sink into a chair his eyes wells of relief.
"When did it start?" he asked quietly.
"Only last night." Mordo folded his hands "I would've established contact sooner, however the whole Hydra incident forced me to bide my time. I was going to tell you-"
"Yeah right" Cassian scoffed under his breath but his master steamrolled over him.
"-I was going to tell you once I had gained her trust again. But given your heated emotions towards her I decided to hold back until you'd come to terms with your grief."
Cassian looked down to his hands, lip curling in anger despite his attempts to keep his temper in check as Mordo continued his speech.
"I will not lie to you. I am fond of Olivia. She's a strong, intelligent, kind and altogether a good person"
"She killed my father" Cassian spat. "She killed him in cold blood. What about that makes her a decent person?"
Mordo sighed.
"Cassian you knew your father. You knew what he had become and what he was willing to do to get his revenge. And whilst I too don't agree with Olivia killing him so brutally, I do understand that what she did, she did in self-defence and for that, I cannot fault her. For I myself have done the same, perhaps worse, under such conditions. Also, you know what the Order and the Ancient One were like. They target people who are broken and lost, like Olivia and Strange, and then they warp their minds with ideologies with their teachings."
"I-I-" Cassian's mouth opened and shut repeatedly, though try as hard as he might he just couldn't get the insults he wanted to roar out of his mouth. But they wouldn't. After all his master was right, his father had been a monster, and Via had lashed out in self-defence. But still…did she have to kill?
"I thought she was better than him." Cassian hissed through grit teeth. "She always was so self-righteous about morals and killing. And yet when she killed him what happened? She was called a hero, she walks free and now she's a member of a team of heroes who also have killed and-"
He paused, sucking in a sharp breath.
"And here I am, skulking in this castle like a frigging-ghost while the rest of the people I thought were my family hunt me down like a criminal"
"I admit it's not been easy these past few months." Mordo nodded comfortingly "But I still need you to lie low for just a little longer until we have confirmation from our allies on our diplomatic immunity."
"You mean that Doom guy from Latveria is still giving you trouble?" Cassian's eyes narrowed.
"We just need to smooth over a few more details but our agreement, but it shouldn't take too long" Mordo schooled his face back into one of stern firmness as he glanced at his phone in front of him on the desk "But that is not my main concern right now. I will let you off the hook this one time, however should you ever dare go through my personal effects or disrupt one of my operations there will be dire consequences. Are we clear."
"Yes master" Cassian mumbled softly, face back down to his knees.
"Good. Now, have a shower and rest. We have an important errand to run tomorrow and you'll need all your strength" Mordo's gaze softened as the young boy before him nodded quietly and strode out the room.
Once the door was shut, the master sorcerer sighed again, this time allowing himself to sag in his chair.
That was close…too close…
He looked down to his phone, and then to the door and then to a drawer on his desk.
Quietly he opened it, sliding out a yellow manila file in which a very official black and white document blared up in his eyes as he opened it.
HYDRA PERSONNEL PROFILE – Elias Theodore Summers
Knock, knock.
"Hey old man?" Via mumbled as she poked her head into the billionaire's lab.
Tony was sitting on a tall stool beside one of the high work benches, bent over something as he worked with his uninjured hand. He didn't look out of sorts to Via, but then again, he didn't usually like to show it if he was. In that way, he was a surprisingly private person.
"Tony?" Via tried again, her voice slightly gentler.
This time Tony looked up eyebrows raised in surprise. "Using my name Mission Impossible? Now I know something's wrong"
"Yeah well, Nat said you were acting weird and I didn't want to push any buttons" Via relaxed as she strode over to the table. "So what are you working on?"
"the blueprints for a new Nano-molecular regenerative cradle which will graft a simulacrum of organic tissue to a wounded patient and bond it to them on the cellular level" Tony leaned back and handed her a tablet.
"So…it's a pod that patches up people?" Via quirked a brow.
"Well if you want to put it so crudely then yes it does" Tony rolled his eyes, though the effect was ruined by a small amused smirk on his face. "But I'll tell you more about that later. Here."
He reached out and handed her a nearby datapad.
"Repaired and good as new."
"Huh?" Via blinked as she took the device "Oh right my datapad. I didn't even know it was broken"
"Yeah we all took quite a beating during the crash" Tony muttered with a slight grimace. "Speaking of which how are you holding up? You look a little tense."
"I'm not tense" Via pouted folding her arms. "It's just…I don't know."
She looked away from him and over the rest of the room with a sigh. First that strange chill she felt in the bathroom and then that weird phone call from Mordo's number…
"Maybe it's just me…" She mumbled softly "I mean I'm paranoid on a normal basis about a lot of stuff. I just can't shake off the feeling that something's off and it's frustrating because I don't know what's off and when I don't know what's off I get even more paranoid and it just goes on and on in this annoying loop. I thought that I'd be safe after I moved into the New York Sanctum. I thought everything would stop. But now…Argh! Why can't I just be a normal kid for once?"
Tony watched her, unusually quiet and sympathetic as she pinched the bridge of her nose in aggravation.
"Tch! Normal? Normal is boring." he snorted softly as with gentle fingers he prized her datapad from her hand and swiped and pressed the touch screen to open up a folder, which seemed to be filled with several video files.
"Here. Take a look at this"
"Oh god, it's not another AC/DC music video is it?" Via rolled her eyes. She liked rock just as much as the next teenager, but there was only so many times she could listen to the millionaire's rather repetitive workshop playlist.
"Okay. First, how dare you mock my amazing taste in music? And secondly no it's not AC/DC, though it is something I know you'll be very interested in" Tony playfully scowled, as he pressed the third video file and smirked as Via turned to narrow her eyes warily at him…only for her to stop dead in her tracks.
On the screen she could see a woman. A woman with blonde curls and a face just like hers, except with grey eyes, smirking up at them.
She was wearing purple shirt under a black leather jacket, that complimented her dark blue jeans. On her ears she wore a pair of small gold hoop earrings that matched her simple gold chain around her neck. Over her wrists two golden dragons were wrapped, their red jewelled eyes glinting faintly in the artificial light above her head as she leaned into the camera.
"Is this thing on?" she frowned as she reached out to adjust the camera angle.
Via felt her heart leap into her throat at the sound of the voice. She had a distinctly posh Queens English accent, but the timbre behind it was like her own. She gulped as she continued to listen to the woman as she cleared her throat and began speaking into the camera.
"SHIELD PERSONELL REPORT. Agent's name: Freyja Ingrid Sorenson, Codename – Themis. Date: thirteenth March 1995. Time: Fourteen-hundred hours. I have been assigned to a new undercover operation by SHIELD, to track down the Mirror of Second Sight, a powerful artefact that can be used to see into the hearts and minds of anybody on the planet. As the name suggests it-"
There was a sharp intake of breath and Tony looked up, his eyes widening in surprise as he caught sight of Via clapping a hand over her mouth. Tears streamed down her face, as she glanced over at the inventor beside her.
"I'm okay…" she smiled as she tried to dab at her streaming face. "It's…It's just…this is the first time I've ever heard her voice."
Then without warning, she promptly threw herself at him, wrapping her arms tight around his shoulders as she all but squeezed the life out of him.
He was about to open his mouth when she mumbled softly.
"Thank you. Thank you so much."
"Don't mention it kid." Tony mumbled, feeling somewhat awkward as he reached out to gingerly pat her on the shoulder. Through the corner of his eye, he could see Bruce Banner's face peeking through the glass wall of his lab.
He was looking relieved. Well, no surprise there. He had been worrying that Tony's idea of a surprise for the young teen might be too sensitive a topic to touch on. He had also been worried that Tony might botch the whole surprise with his sarcastic humour. Great charismatic billionaire though he was, he could be surprisingly awkward when it came to expressing his heartfelt sincerity.
Then again so is Via.
Bruce smiled warmly, not noticing his shadow flicker oddly on the ground, as he watched his friend and the young teenager gawkily pull away from one another, the latter coughing as she finally managed to wipe off the last of her tears.
"So…uh…wh-where did you find these?"
"I've been going through some of the files from that Hydra base you were imprisoned at" Tony cleared his throat loudly, relieved as he saw Bruce slip away from the glass wall opposite.
"Damage Control managed to salvage this off one of the main hard drives at that Alphard's desk. But we didn't find much else. It seems that just before we came Hydra used some kind of virus to wipe out the data from their own systems at the base"
"You mean like as a failsafe? But they must have copies-" Via frowned and Tony nodded.
"Yeah, at other bases. And before you ask, yes I did try to find them. Hence why I have the demolished carcasses of three PCs on my desk"
"May they rest in pieces" Via snorted as she caught sight of the mess of computer parts that littered the workbench on Tony's other side.
He grinned as he heard her stomach warble loudly.
"Sorry." She blushed looking down at her shifting toes as the goateed inventor patted her firmly on the shoulder as he stood to his feet.
"Come on kid. Let's go get some food"
Dinner was a lot of fun that night.
The most fun I'd had in weeks in fact. For once I wasn't looking over my shoulder or feeling sad or scared. It didn't hurt that I had more of my mom's SHIELD report videos to watch later before I went to bed.
It was so surreal seeing her on the screen like that. Up till that point I'd only ever seen her in photographs. But to hear her voice…to see her move and talk and-it was beyond anything I could've imagined. We were so different and yet so similar. She moved her hands just like how I do when I get excited, and even chewed her cheek like I do when I'm thinking.
There were some things that weren't similar of course. The accent for one thing, real posh and polished like a true high society woman. She and I look different when we smile or scowl. Her eyes too, grey and a different shape, though I kinda expected that (Stephen did say that grey eyes are quite a rare recessive gene). Then there was the way she sat. Ladylike and precise, no hint of a slouch even though she was in jeans and a tank top.
Not like me at the dinner table, for back then I still didn't have the best of table manners. Yet it wasn't too bad.
What had started as a formal awkward serving of dishes quickly turned into a barrel of laughs as amusing and embarrassing stories hacked away at whatever ice that had been there. Buddy sat at my side, occasionally begging for scraps (and ultimately getting them from the weak willed Steve and Pepper who snuck him some treats under the table)
My personal favourite story was Thor's recount of his having to cross-dress as a goddess and almost marry a giant in order to steal back his magic hammer Mjolnir. Seriously the thought of the big guy shaving his beard and putting on a dress and veil is-well …
*snorts and giggles*
Sorry. I just can't help it. If you saw Thor you'd know what I'm talking about. The guy almost breaks through his clothes with all his muscles. How anyone on Asgard, let alone Earth found a dress to fit him is a miracle in its own right.
But enough about Asgardian gods cross-dressing and back to…wait…where was I again?
Oh yeah dinner. So yeah, we all had dinner and then stayed up late watching Star Wars IV: A New Hope in the screening room. It was my first time EVER seeing anything Star Wars). You should've seen Tony and Clint's faces when I said I had never even seen the movie. They looked at me as if they were two priests faced with a horrible heathen that was in desperate need of conversion. I had to admit, I kinda enjoyed it. I mean sure the acting was mostly hammed up, and the effects were old but overall it was fun.
…For most of us.
Bruce was looking out of sorts. He had seemed perfectly fine when we did the teambuilding exercises earlier. At first, I just thought that he was feeling a little down or low on energy. After all some people just have days like that.
Unfortunately for me, the problem wasn't that simple…
Via turned over in her bed glaring at the wall vehemently. Her evening had gone so well. She'd seen a video of her mom, she'd eaten a wonderful dinner and watched a movie with friends.
And yet for some inexplicable reason, she just could not shut her eyes and go to sleep.
Oh my god, It's nearly two.
She groaned loudly and sat up, jostling Buddy at the end of her bed as she did so.
"Sorry Bud." She whispered reaching out to soothe the animal as he raised his head to look at her worriedly. "Just can't get to sleep"
He gave her a small consoling lick as she scratched his ear, his eyes piercing hers, almost seeming to search her soul as she stared back into them in the dim light
"It's amazing y'know" Via murmured softly as she stroked her thumb on the crown of his head. "Sometimes, I swear, you almost look human to me. But that's just my wishful thinking isn't it."
Buddy huffed and whined softly as he licked her wrist again.
"There you go again. Are you trying to talk to me?" Via smiled, but her face fell as the dog gave her a very soft boof of a bark, his large head nodding at her before sharply turning towards her door.
"What's up? Hey!" she winced as suddenly he bounded off her bed and leapt towards the door, sniffing eagerly at it.
"Buddy, come on, back in the bed."
But Buddy just kept sniffing and nosing at the door, his ears pricked upwards as he looked up to the ceiling.
"It's probably someone moving around upstairs, now come on get back to bed" Via hissed only to groan as Buddy looked in her direction and gave her a soft bark.
"No-don't bark. Buddy!" she hissed leaping out of bed and grabbing at his collar as he began scratching at the door, whining loudly.
"Buddy, stop you'll wake someone up with all the…noise…" Via paused as she felt something hot against her chest.
She looked down under her night shirt.
The Web of Asibikaashi was glowing bright, so bright that it could be seen through her clothes. She pulled it out, wincing as it illuminated her room with a strange gold-amber light.
Wait amber?
No that can't be right
Via frowned. The web of Asibikaashi never glowed amber, it glowed just plain gold. And what was this tingling she could feel in her body. It almost felt like she had hundreds of tiny spiders crawling over her skin.
"Something's wrong"
She looked at Buddy, who looked at her briefly before looking back to the door and huffing at it.
"You can sense it too can't you?"
He grunted, nodding his snout again at the door.
Via rolled her eyes and grabbed Aura from her bedside table.
"Alright, I guess we're having a night time walk then. But be quiet" she hissed as she gingerly reached for the door and quietly prized it open.
The corridor was dark outside her room, her phone casting the only light as she switched its flashlight on and tiptoed her way down, Buddy skulking silently in front of her with his head bowed low to sniff at the ground.
They had just reached the lobby outside the express lift when they heard it.
A series of solid thudding sounds…coming from the direction of Tony's lab.
Old Man must be pulling an all-nighter even though Pepper told him not to.
She sighed.
But then she looked back down at the Web of Asibikaashi. It was still glowing hotly on her chest, only now the colour was getting closer to red than yellow.
No…something was very wrong…and it was obviously getting worse.
She looked at the direction of the lab, then back to the web.
Maybe I should call someone…but first I should get a look at what's going on…yeah…then I can sneak back and tell them what's happening so we can solve it.
"Sorry Bud, but I'll need you to sit tight. I'll be right back" Via whispered, her hands moving silently in the air as she cast a magical dome around the animal, who barked at her angrily as she leapt up to the ceiling and began crawling towards the lab.
She was silent as she approached the glass wall doing her best to stick to the shadows as she chanced a look inside.
What she saw made her stomach turn over.
Everything in the place was absolutely completely smashed. The benches the chairs, even a couple of robotic arms lay half decimated and sparking on the floor, wires frayed and metal twisted out of shape.
And in the centre of this mayhem, someone stood.
He was hunched over, wearing a purple shirt that was ripped along the spine. His skin was pale and tinged a vivid shade of green, that only intensified as his body twitched, the muscles slowly expanding and straining against the confines of his clothes as he grew taller and larger.
But worst of all was the face.
It was a face she knew well. A face she'd so often seen as kindly, if somewhat sad sometimes. A face that offered her comfort and wisdom. And yet it wasn't that face at all. It was green, wrathful and ferocious. She could see the vein throbbing painfully in one of it's temples, vivid green eyes almost glowing as it met her gaze.
"Bruce?"
He stumbled backward his body now fully illuminated in the one remaining ceiling light that hadn't been destroyed, and she saw there on his green chest over his heart something like a black slimy scorpion-like creature had latched on leech-like into his skin.
She could feel the web of Asibikaashi almost burn her skin now as she looked at the strange horrible creature, which had sunk what appeared to be two more black pincers into the Hulk's shoulder.
He roared in pain, his body twisting and contorting as a horrible sucking, rasping sound filled the air.
"BRUCE!" Via cried out, throwing all caution to the wind as she wrenched open the door to the lab.
But no sooner had she stepped in the room, did she have to dodge to the side of a mangled chair that had been thrown her way.
"No Bruce!" the large green man-like being roared, snarling at her as she leapt up onto the wall.
"No Bruce, ONLY HUUULK!"
FINALLY! Got this chapter out. Sorry for the long wait. I went on holidays and then was swamped by work when i got back home. So yeah, even though it's shorter than normal, this chapter has a fair bit packed in. Via has finally gotten to see something more of her mother, she's also met Hulk (though not under good circumstances),, Mordo is hiding something from a vengeful Cassian and our mysterious new villain is pulling a few more strings behind the scenes.
I figured I'd put in a bit of Tony/Via fluff to ease the rather intense mood (but then i couldn't resist in the end :P). Don't worry, there will be some lighter chapters soon. Actually i am in the middle of writing a separate much lighter and funnier fluffy piece in the Dream-Catcher MCU verse with Via and the Avengers and other MCU characters. It probably won't have a strict place in the timeline, but it's just for fluffy happy ramblings. hopefully i have time to post it up soon :)
There will be more Via/Strange in the next chapter as well as Via interacting more with the other Avengers as they try to sort this situation out. Anyways i hope you enjoyed and please review for more.
Cheers
