Doctor Strange and Tony Stark meet and Stark Industries has a company meeting

it's been so long and that's kinda my fault cause ya know...lack of motivation, procrastination among other things. Anywho, gradually updating until I get back into the swing of things. This chapter is shorter...I don't like it but it was necessary.

I finally introduce Dr. Strange and I hope I do him justice :)

Mentions of Morgan...that's all I'm gonna say

Tony woke up with a dying gasp on his breath, tears in his eyes, and his heart feeling like it was going through surgery all over again. While he didn't have a nightmare, dreaming about Morgan sure felt like one when it left her laugh ringing in his head. For all things, the dream was...happy and filled him with a bitter sense of nostalgia, but he wasn't sure if it was a dream or a memory and couldn't decide if that uncertainty made it better or worse. Slowly, he lifted a hand and wiped his cheeks off. Sighing deeply, he tried to shake off the image of her laughing from his mind. It was no use, of course, with her memory firmly in his own, but he tried. Tony knew that even if Pepper got pregnant again, there was a very tiny possibility that if it were a girl, it would be his little girl. She'd be in the same boat as Happy, not remembering anything, and Tony wasn't sure if that would be a good thing or a bad thing.

Even though he wouldn't bring his little girl back with the knowledge that he died because it was cruel, Tony wasn't sure if it was possible considering Roger's actions. The truth was that Morgan was erased, and so even if the stones were to bring her back, she simply wouldn't be the Morgan that he came to know and love. That aside, despite the possibilities and improbabilities, Tony wasn't ready to say goodbye to a child that may or may not exist this time.

Shaking his head, dislodging his current course of thought, Tony felt gratitude for a moment that he wasn't awoken by the nightmares that plagued his dreams since he returned. For some reason, once the investigation was over and his father's shield was melted down and inserted into his chest, the nightmares seemed to have abated over time. They didn't leave him completely (they most likely never will), and when he did have them, they left him in a state of shock that, had it not been for Pepper or Jarvis, would have seen him almost catatonic with fear.

Nonetheless, he didn't know exactly why that was, and he had some suspicions, such as never having to worry about a vibranium shield being used to cave in his chest, but he decided it was best not to think about it too much. He allowed himself a few more moments in bed next to Pepper as she slept soundly, thankful once more she was here with him before he made his way to the bathroom.

He was in the kitchen, making pancakes when he heard Pepper make her way towards the coffee maker.

"Good morning Pep," he said softly. When all he got in response was a quiet murmur, he laughed softly. Tony always thought it was funny how people assumed he was the one who couldn't function in the morning without coffee, when in reality it was both him and Pepper who craved coffee like it was another form of oxygen. So he waited until she was halfway done to begin any form of conversation.

"I got that meeting with Strange today," he began.

Pepper hummed around her cup. "Will you be back in time for the company meeting?"

Tony nodded as he plated their breakfast.

"Yeah, I have some additional things I want to make clear about the contracts. Nothing bad," he quickly clarified at Pepper's look.

"Just..." Tony sighed and ran a hand through his hair.

"I know it's going to be an adjustment for everyone, and despite me shutting down our weapons division, there are going to be people who aren't comfortable with the direction we're taking the company," he said.

Tony knew that it wasn't just board members who were upset about the change, and despite most of those members being involved with Stane, there was bound to be some disagreements among the employees themselves. Some came to work at Stark Industries solely because of their role and influence within the weapons business. Hopefully, the contracts for protective gear would be enough, but he honestly didn't know.

"If they don't decide to stay, then those are exactly the people we don't need," Pepper replied with a decisive note in her voice.

Tony inwardly smirked at his wife and her no-nonsense attitude and dug in. They ate in silence for a few moments, and Tony basked in the calming quiet. It would continue to surprise him how much he missed the silence that he had when he lived in Lake House. The sound of the ocean wasn't the calm waters of the lake, but it had its own charm that he had forgotten he loved due to trauma and time. He voiced this much to Pepper.

"You know, as much as I love the mansion and the tower, I wouldn't mind having the lake house back sooner than we did before."

Pepper turned to look at him briefly, a small smile gracing her face.

"I miss it too," she agreed with a nod. "The mansion is quiet and peaceful, and the tower was safe and secure, but it's definitely not the lake house."

"How would you feel then about me getting the ball rolling on having it built?"

Pepper's smile widened. "I think that's a fabulous idea, Mr. Stark."

"Nice to know Ms. Potts."

Tony frowned for a moment at his words. "We really need to change that," he said.

Pepper laughed before patting Tony lightly on the chest.

"Patience is a virtue, Tony," she said cheekily.

All things come in due time.

Tony made his way toward the office of Dr. Stephen Strange apprehensively. From their previous interactions in the last timeline, he and Strange weren't exactly "buddies," and it was only Thanos coming that allowed them to put aside their differences and work together. Here, however, it was a different story. There was no Thanos (yet) and he hadn't become Dumbledore yet, so he was still the very arrogant doctor Tony heard about. He was the kind of person Tony used to be, and while Tony knew how to deal with these types of people, he really wasn't in the mood for more judgment. Warranted or not.

Arriving at the door, Tony gently knocked and waited until he heard Strange's voice ring out through the door.

Walking inside, he was met with Strange sitting at his desk, his head lifting up from some paperwork and a barely held grimace on his face. Tony couldn't help but sigh a bit to himself.

"Ah, Dr. Stark. It's a pleasure meeting you," Strange said with what Tony could tell was poorly concealed suspicion.

"Although to say I'm surprised would be an understatement." He added after a brief moment, and while Tony wanted nothing more than to turn around and walk back out the door, he forced a smile on his face, cleared his throat, and held his hand out for a handshake. It was only after Strange returned the gesture that he spoke.

"Yes, well, thank you for taking the time to meet with me."

With his hands clasped together on his desk, Strange nodded toward one of the seats, and like Tony, it was only after he sat down that Strange began to speak again.

"So what research could you possibly need a neurosurgeon for?"

Ignoring the condescending tone, Tony began to explain why he was there. "I've already written a program called B.A.R.F. and am making headway with the research. The only problem is that it borders on mind control in a sense."

When Tony finished speaking, he could tell that Strange was cautiously interested, but he had an inkling that it was more about the last bit that really caught his attention.

"How so?"

Sitting up straighter, Tony opened up a hologram from his phone, smirking slightly at the brief look of awe that entered Strange's eyes. While having people in awe at his technology wasn't exactly new for Tony, it still gave him satisfaction when one of the most stubborn and hard-to-impress men got that same look that everyone else did. Surely enough, though, he hid his awe behind his typical indifferent expression, and Tony had to refrain from rolling his eyes.

Turning his attention back to the hologram, he brought up the schematics and brain scans he had Jarvis run a few weeks ago. "B.A.R.F. relies on a complex holographic system that connects with the user's hippocampus, allowing it to find a certain traumatic memory and alter it before projecting that memory onto an external infrastructure. Through the altered projection, the user can successfully re-experience and hopefully work through overcoming traumatic experiences."

The room turned quiet as Dr. Strange looked through the hologram; the silent whirring of the phone was the only sound in the room until Strange cleared his throat to address Tony.

"You're right. It would borderline mind control. In fact, I'd say it's dangerously close," Strange said, or rather, patronized. He quirked an eyebrow up as he looked at Tony. "I know you said you left the weapons business, but I'm not sure this..."venture" is right for you."

"I did," Tony enunciated. "It's more of a personal project than anything. It's not affiliated with Stark Industries. I want to use it as a way for people with PTSD to overcome their traumatic experiences by being able to control the narrative. Sometimes, talking to a therapist just isn't enough." Tony sighed deeply, rubbing his temple as he felt a headache coming on. He didn't get along with Strange in the last timeline, and he hasn't had his accident yet, so Tony knew he was meeting an arrogant Strange at his peak, but it didn't make the exchange any less annoying. If Tony hadn't died and experienced everything he did, he would have sent Pepper in to deal with him, as he wouldn't have had the temperament to deal with the condescension. In fact, Tony knows he would have made it worse.

"Look, I get it," he said as he looked Strange in the eyes. He wasn't about to let this man judge him for something he never did and something he had been trying his hardest to fix, even if he could understand the point of view. Maybe Strange understood him better after he viewed the different possibilities, but this Strange was not the Strange Tony had fought with. Realizing that he had no reason to trust Tony didn't make his assumptions any less annoying.

"It hasn't even been 2 months since I got back from Afghanistan, but let me remind you that I was cleared of all charges, and so was my entire company." Tony brought his suitcase and placed it on the desk. He quickly undid the latch and pulled out a neat stack of papers. It wasn't hard to compile all the information again. It was easier knowing just how B.A.R.F. worked, and if he made a few tweaks here and there, things he knew Strange would have questions on, then no one would know.

"I brought the research that I do have so you can look over it yourself. If you have any questions, you can just reach me at that number at the top."

With that, Tony stood up and made his way out of Strange's office, not bothering to look back. Once he was outside the hospital, he took a deep breath and made his way over to Happy.

"Everything okay Boss?"

Tony smiled slightly and nodded his head. "Just some people who have a hard time understanding that I'm not in the weapons business anymore."

Happy frowned and looked at the building, but didn't say anything else as he followed Tony to the car. He didn't understand everything fully, not like Tony, Pep, or Rhodey; he wasn't brought back, and while he was glad for it, it made situations like this harder to understand. He didn't know what to say to this Tony; so many things were different about him.

Looking back at his boss from the rearview mirror, Happy couldn't help but count all the differences he'd seen. The clear look in Tony's eyes and the lack of eye bags, the way his hair was shiny without the grease and gel, and even his skin seemed to clear and give off a glow that was normally dulled by alcohol, coffee, and lack of sleep. Despite everything that happened to Tony, Happy could honestly say that this was the best thing for him, especially if he gave up his life for a world that never deserved it in the end.

It didn't matter to Happy, he realized; it didn't matter who didn't believe in Tony. Not when he knew that sooner or later, they'd be forced to confront their own biases, and while they did, Tony would be surrounded by people who loved and supported him. Happy wasn't sure how he fit into the picture, but he would do what he could.

As they approached the doors that would take them to the conference room at the Malibu headquarters, Happy stopped Tony before he could enter with a hand on his shoulder.

Tony turned his head briefly to look at Happy, eyebrows raised in question. "Are you okay Hap?"

"Look, Boss," Happy began to say before he sighed, a frown forming on his face as he tried to gather his thoughts.

"I know that I won't be as much help as Rhodey or Pepper or that space god alien prince or the magic magician," he said, a small smile breaking out on his face when Tony chuckled at his nickname for Dr. Strange. "I know there was a good reason why you didn't bring me back, and before you say anything, I am so glad that you didn't. I don't do the weird or freaky, and trust me, I'd be more inclined to be placed in a mental ward if you had, but that just means that I support you even more."

Happy squeezed Tony's arm and forced himself to look into his eyes. "I have no idea what the doctor said to you or how he acted, but you do know that his opinions about you don't matter, right?"

Tony smiled gently at Happy and turned to face him fully. "Hap, you are just as important as Pep and Rhodey and Loki and Dumbledore, even if you don't feel like it. Sure, I may not need you as my bodyguard anymore, but you have a more important role at Stark Industries, a role that I wouldn't trust with anyone else. As for our doctor, he'll come around once he gets his memories back. If I have to deal with his ego until then, well, that's something I'll gladly hold over his head."

Clapping Happy on the back, Tony turned around and opened the doors to the conference room. He took a few steps before he heard Happy's voice behind him.

"There's no job more important than making sure you're safe."

Standing in front of everyone on the podium, Tony took a minute to look over the crowd and the screens where the rest of his employees sat as they joined in the livestream. Tony knew he was taking the biggest step to ensuring the future was safe. Sure, the military was a big one, but in the grand scheme of things, it was going to be Stark Industries that would truly be the turning point. There was only so much he could do with his military contracts that didn't include weapons, and frankly, without them, fewer people were willing to hear him out. Tony knew that if the suits didn't exist, the relationship between him, the U.S. government, and the armed forces would be essentially useless. Breaking away from his thoughts, Tony focused on the current task at hand.

"I know everyone is nervous and anxious about the new contracts and what they'll entail." Tony's voice carried across the room as he addressed the entire Malibu staff and faculty, as well as those in his New York, D.C., Los Angeles, and Austin branches that were streaming this to their faculty.

"As you all know, Stark Industries has shut down our weapons divisions with the exception of armor and other protective gear," he said, ignoring the few grumbles from certain staff.

"Those of you who do not wish to stay aboard can walk out of this room right now, and we can deal with your unemployment package a few days from now. I do warn that any and all projects currently signed off are now the sole property of Stark Industries and will be given over to those who've stayed."

It was silent for a moment as people looked at each other, and Tony could tell they were trying to decide if leaving was going to be worth it. Some stood up and left, while others stayed, albeit warily and silently. Tony inwardly cheered when he recognized Quentin Beck among those who left. It made it easier for him to work with B.A.R.F., and it would hopefully remove him from Peter's life. Clapping his hands together once, he projected the key points of the new contract on the screen behind him. Normally, Tony would have just asked HR to deal with this, but as he was playing a more active role as CEO until Pepper "took over," he felt it was just best for everything to come from him.

"Well, it's nice to see that some people still have a little bit of trust," Tony joked. With the remote in his hand, he began the new contract presentation.

"As you can see, there are some minor differences between the previous contract that will not affect daily business or current jobs, except for those in the weapons division, which I will discuss later for those of you who stayed." Let's start with the corporate perks, which have undergone minor changes, especially concerning insurance plans, which are now free for all employees as soon as the new contracts are finalized."

Before Tony could continue on, there was a loud applause coming from his staff, and it had Tony bewildered for a moment. He turned his confused look at Pepper, who simply shrugged with a slight smile on her face. She told him that making the insurance free would be the biggest thing the employees would be happy about. Granted, they offered affordable health insurance before this, but she said there was a big difference between affordable and free.

Clearing his throat, Tony continued after the clapping had died down. "Along with the new insurance plans, we are now offering new family care benefits such as childcare assistance and lactation rooms for breastfeeding mothers. Paternal leave has been increased to 4 months, while maternal leave has been increased to a year for those who have given birth and 6 months for those who are adopting."

Tony took a small pause as he switched screens, holding a hand up to stop any clapping. "Please hold off until after the presentation. As much as I love the applause, we need to be able to get through this today."

"Now," he said. "Please review the PTO, which has been increased to one month per year, two weeks of company holidays, and one month of bereavement leave, which is not included in the one month of PTO and is completely separate. Retirement and our Growth and Development programs have not changed, but if you want to transfer plans with the new contracts, that is an option. Let's move on to the significant changes.

Pepper came up to stand beside Tony on the podium as they were about to announce her mentorship and training for the new CEO position. To be frank, Pepper was nervous. Last time, it came as a surprise to everyone as it wasn't discussed beforehand. Now, it was being announced to all the major branches across the country and would most likely make the news within the week, despite her keeping the press away. Things like this weren't something that was kept secret for very long.

"Virginia Potts, as you all know, is my assistant." Tony lightly pressed his hand against her back, moving her slightly in front of him. "As of today, she is officially preparing to take over as CEO of Stark Industries. She was crucial during the company's investigations a few weeks ago, and it was for that reason that I chose to have her take over my role. To prevent any significant setbacks, this will be a gradual process, but I have a feeling that by this time next year, she will have successfully made the switch to a full-time CEO role. Please save your questions until after the presentation."

There was a brief pause before a light applause fell across the room. While there were looks of jealousy from some of the higher-ups, most of the employees seemed to be content and satisfied that she was taking over the role. Pepper knew that many felt she brought stability to the company, and many of their business partners generally liked dealing with her rather than Tony. Even though she knew this, she was still nervous. Taking a step back, Pepper kept her position by Tony but took over the explanations.

"I know this may come as a shock to you all, but I'm looking forward to getting to know you all and the company much better in the coming months." Taking a deep breath, she pressed the next button on the slide.

"The company has decided to replace the weapons division with the Stark Industries Protection division, which will focus on three things. Protective gear contracts with the US military are the division's initial and main area of concentration. These products will have trackers, much like our weapons do. Unfortunately, the rest of the information about the placement of these trackers is classified and only available to myself, Dr. Stark, Colonel James Rhodes, and the Secretary of Defense. Anyone found with these codes who has not been named will be terminated immediately and handed over to US MPs on grounds of treason.

The security detail of Stark Industries, led by Harold Hogan, will be the subject of the second focus. Every individual already serving in the security detail will receive further training. Given that Stark Industries has already been the subject of foreign espionage, this is only a preventive measure, but it is unavoidable. The Security Detail will collaborate with the Legal Department on any upcoming cases. For those of you who are curious, and I can see it on your faces, you will be upgraded with new protection gear, albeit less advanced than our military protective gear.

Furthermore, as soon as the new contracts are signed, we will be thoroughly investigating each employee's background. If you pass, you will be given a new badge that details which areas of the headquarters you are permitted to enter. If you are detected entering a restricted area, you will be suspended without pay until the situation is handled. Punishments will be imposed in accordance with the nature of the offense. Finally, all Stark Industry servers will be upgraded to improve security, preserve critical information, and protect employee privacy.

The final focus will be on a collaboration between the Protection Division, the R&D Division, Public Relations, and the new Humanitarian Affairs Department, which will work with charities and other humanitarian endeavors in the United States and overseas to tackle natural disasters and other crises. Despite being under the same division, this partnership will not be with the US military or the Security Department. More information about this department will be accessible next week, although it will not be fully operational for at least three months. For those who are interested, you can stay in your current department until it becomes available, at which point you will be allowed to switch if you so desire."

Tony gently patted Pepper's back, reassuring her just when she needed it. Pepper took a long breath and felt her shoulders ease. Neither Pepper nor Tony knew how the company would react to this. The choice they made would determine whether or not they succeeded, and it was a very different path than before. While Tony was more confident than Pepper, there was an underlying fear that the company's, and in particular, Tony's, reputation, would prevent them from moving forward with their plans. Despite the military's assistance, it was the employees that brought everything together. Tony could only do so much.

Tony took over once again as he closed out the presentation. "I'm glad that there is a bit of positive support, even if it is tentative, which I'm sure will remain that way until the department is fully implemented. It's a natural response, but it's much better than what we believed would happen."

"I'd like to mention one more thing, which is the addition of a new outreach program. This program is divided into three sections: middle school, high school, and college, which includes undergraduate and graduate levels. While every department has the ability to apply for the outreach program, it will not be implemented until I can establish contact and recruitment with the schools, giving your department time to decide whether or not to participate. It will be made public next summer during the Stark Expo, for which I will hold another meeting with the department heads in a few weeks.

If you wish to be considered for the outreach program, you must notify your department heads, who must then email me or Ms. Potts directly with a list of people interested in mentoring. Ms. Potts will be in charge of Human Resources, Public Relations, the Legal Department, Marketing, Accounting and Finance, and Humanitarian Affairs. I'll be dealing with the Protection Division, R&D, IT, Business Development, and Security Detail. The floor is now open for questions."

Just as expected, hands shot up into the air. Tony could even see them on the screens and couldn't help but be amused and a tad exasperated. Tony pointed to a random person in the crowd, ready to hopefully answer most of the questions swimming around in their heads.

A young black woman stood up. "I'm Brandy Cowell, and I work in what I guess is the new Protection Division. If we aren't able to have the access codes, how will they be implemented into the trackers?"

"Simple," Tony said with a shrug. "I create the codes after the trackers have been made through a backdoor that will already be in the system. I won't go into detail here naturally, but you will have all the necessary information regarding the development of the trackers once work resumes."

Brandy looked at Tony for a moment before she gave a small nod and sat down. Tony had a feeling that she wasn't exactly happy with his answer, but he figured hardly anyone would be okay with the knowledge that he didn't think they were trustworthy enough. He let people handle too much last time, and look where it got him and the company. Letting the interaction leave his mind, Tony picked on the next person.

"Right, hi, I'm Maria Juarez, and I want to know if we can have clarification on the espionage comments."

"Ever since the knowledge of what happened has been made public, Stark Industries has received multiple attempts from other companies trying to involve themselves in the investigation in order to steal the designs and schematics we were working on removing. To be quite honest, it's nothing we haven't dealt with before, but naturally, due to recent events, there has been a harder crackdown on situations like this." Tony explained.

Satisfied, Maria sat back down. Pepper took her turn and pointed out an employee on the New York screen.

"About this outreach program, will it be implemented everywhere or just in Malibu?"

"The outreach program will be made available everywhere; however, we do want to begin in New York. As you all know, we are currently in the process of building a new headquarters for Stark Industries in New York. As Tony and I will be there for the foreseeable future, it will be easier to begin there."

Another spoke up before Pepper could call on the next person. Huffing, annoyed at the action, Pepper waved away their apologies.

"What will this outreach program attempt to do? Will college students be allowed to earn credits? Is this something they can use on their resume?"

Pepper looked at Tony briefly, catching his eye. They talked about the possibility of setting up internships within the program, but they wanted to focus on groups rather than individuals. There was time for that in the future; besides, Pepper knew that Tony was saving his intern spot for Peter once the time came.

"We have some ideas, but nothing concrete," Pepper replied.

"We can offer college credit, but it would ultimately be up to the university whether they will accept it or not. As for the resume, that will also be something that needs to be discussed. They could use it as a way to gain and showcase their experience; however, it's not the same as an internship. Sure, some of you may be mentoring these students, but it's in a group setting, not individually."

Three hours later, Tony was finally walking out of the Malibu headquarters. While he was glad that his employees were showing immense interest in the changes he implemented in the company and contracts, it was still tedious answering questions and then "shmoozing" with everyone. All he wanted to do right now was go home, lay down with Pep, and not move an inch for the rest of the day. Glancing at Pep and Happy, he could tell they felt the exact same way.

Tony was broken out of his musings when his phone rang. He debated whether he wanted to talk to anyone else or ignore it and call them back tomorrow.

"Are you going to answer that?"

Tony glanced at Pepper and shrugged. "Depends on who's calling."

Pepper and Happy both chuckled at Tony's response. Taking a peek at the caller ID, he was surprised to see Strange's number flashing at the top. Tony stopped walking and answered the phone, part of him wary of what the good ol' doctor had to say. They didn't exactly leave on the best terms, not that it was Tony's fault.

"I'm surprised you called," Tony said the moment he answered the call.

"…I was debating it myself, but your research is intriguing." Strange hesitantly replied.

Tony hummed, "So what do you think?"

"I think that you need another opinion, and I need someone to bounce ideas off of."

Tony quirked an eyebrow up. He wasn't expecting that, and while it wasn't unwelcome, he wasn't sure about bringing anyone else into the mix.

"Who do you have in mind?"

"A think tank with other neurosurgeons, those who tend to work with the brain, would be ideal," Strange replied.

Tony sighed heavily, shaking his head at the looks Happy and Pep gave him. On one hand, a think tank wasn't a bad idea, but on the other hand…the more people who learned about B.A.R.F., the more dangerous it could be. While it was already patented by Stark Industries, Tony wasn't sure if this was a risk he would be willing to take. Before he could give Strange an answer, he began to speak again.

"I realize that the research is sensitive. I know that signing an NDA would probably be on the table, but I wouldn't be averse to signing one. However, you stated that you wanted to be able to help patients suffering from PTSD, which means you will need more opinions, not just from neurosurgeons but also from those who have experience dealing with PTSD patients and how it affects their brains. It would be different if this were a personal project for your use only, Dr. Stark."

Grimacing, Tony rubbed his temple with his hand. Strange was right... As much as Tony hated to admit it, he was right.

"Alright, you give me a list of potential neurosurgeons, and I'll contact some PTSD specialists. It was on my list to do anyway; it'll just be moved up."

"Then I will speak to you later, Dr. Stark. I am looking forward to working with you."

"Right back at ya Strange."

Tony shook his head as he began to walk towards the car. He wondered what impact that was going to have on the future. On one hand, he accomplished what he meant to do by establishing a working relationship with Strange, but on the other hand, introducing more people to B.A.R.F. was not part of the plan. He summarized the phone call for Pepper and Happy when they asked, and he was only mildly surprised when they both agreed that it was a good idea. While it was quite sensitive, the more professional opinions he had, the easier it would be for people to accept them. Pepper pointed out that it was a good opportunity for Tony to begin the branch out into the medical field by maintaining the contacts, especially if anyone were willing to sign on as a future consultant.

Again, Tony could only sigh and agree that it was the best path for them to go down.

"Only time will tell," he said as they headed home.

Only time would tell indeed.

I have no idea how a company works when they update contracts so I kinda just...winged it.

THINK TANK. I love the idea of a think tank with doctors discussing things I don't understand :) Anywho, the main idea came from my late-pops who dealt with PTSD due to the war in Iraq. I kinda wish he had something like B.A.R.F. to help him so I'm projecting :)))

With that said, some discussions of mental health will be popping up left and right throughout the story. I'll put warnings when they're needed.

also OUTREACH PROGRAM!
We'll be meeting some OCs soon :)
