No-One But You (The Zephyr Endeavor)
Chapter 57: Chaos Control (Part 7)
…
"Now that shit… is hilarious. Can you send me that?"
…
"Uhh, yeah. You bet."
…
"That's some rainy day content, for sure."
…
Stephen Strange had a big laugh when something truly amused him. He was standing beside his baby brother when some insane video was sent in his direction.
Wade Wilson was dancing to some… pop …bullshit, and it was next level epic. The former Sorcerer Supreme needed to keep that video for a rainy day, and Victor Strange was happy to oblige.
He sent his brother the video that Ezekiel shared with him, then he quickly typed the Jackal back a response.
…
[ UGHh can he be any hotter? You lucky bastarrrrd. I want one. ]
…
Victor was mega jealous, and his baby mind started heading in a specific direction. The last "conversation" he had with a certain DIVA-BITCH archer was catty and horrible.
…
Clint Barton was an extremely funny guy, when he wasn't bitter about shit and pissed off. Victor knew firsthand that the baby bird was just lost, or something.
Was it his fault? Or, Ezekiel's fault? Victor wasn't sure of that in that moment. His mind was swamped with it though, and he took a second to re-skim the last message he sent in the archer's direction.
Yeah, he was definitely left on read, but Victor didn't care. On some level, acknowledged or not, he planned to work things out with him. He wanted to at least be cordial, and… hopefully professional.
…
How boring tho. Victor slowly rolled his eyes, then he noticed that there was FINALLY some commotion up ahead. He gave his brother something called a "knuckle-sandwich" the instant he returned to Asgard, because yes the time there was going at a super-slow pace..
Like, dinosaur slow. Victor wanted to screeeeeaaaamm. Anyway, he looked up just in time to see his sister-in-law enter the scene.
Clea Strange was a majestic beast. She was often described as "striking", and her daughter Sofia held the same status. She towered too, and Victor couldn't believe it.
Stephen was gone from his side in an instant. Big bro took his rightful place beside his wife and daughter. They all sorta towered where they stood, and Victor thought it was cool.
Just try fucking with that… the baby Strange couldn't imagine an enemy that could take on the three of them at once. No way. The damage could only come from something within, something like….
…
Thor's bullshit. Luckily all of that was toned down by that point. Victor kept a careful eye on how the "God of Thunder" behaved after Clea made her debut.
He absolutely had to do that shit, cuz that's what brother's are supposed to do. He was watching out for his people, so…
…
Anyway, Clea said something to Stephen about Karnilla, then they both looked in Victor's direction. What? Were they waiting on him or some shit? Cuz, I mean… oh right.
…
Stephen was right, cuz Victor had a tendency to space out when his love life was in shambles. For those who recall, he was a total basket case back when Ezekiel went AWOL, and now everything between him and a certain not-so-friendly EX roommate/boyfriend went to shit…
Victor was actually devastated. He also felt completely useless, lonely, and just….
…
[Wade says he actually wants to see this Japanese person perform in Japan. She's on tour, or whatever. Wanna go?]
…
Victor was still super spaced, but his eyes skimmed a message as soon as he received it from Ezekiel. Go to Japan? How random was that? Yeah, he wanted to go, with them, but something felt off.
Wade was sooo beyond good for Ezekiel. He made him so happy, and, Victor loved being around them both. He didn't wanna miss a moment with them, but lately it felt like something was missing…
…
He just wished that some baby ass bird boy would stop being such a fucking jerk. I mean, he technically didn't do anything back at the Stark Expo. He just… looked… at… Ezekiel, cuz he hadn't seen him in a long while. He was super thrown off, and processing shit. They could have talked about it… CUZ it's not like he cheated on him or anything, right?
Victor's heart was in pain all of a sudden, and the feeling really friggen sucked….
Yeah he wanted to go, but the baby sorcerer held off on responding to the random message about Japan. He stepped over toward his sister-in-law instead, and he asked Clea Strange if she's ever encountered Karnilla.
Stephen, Clea, Sofia, Thor, and the Warriors Three were all waiting for Victor to approach their group. The majority of them knew that he was having a hard time adjusting to his role as the "Sorcerer Supreme", but the baby Strange hadn't caught on at that point.
They just patiently waited for him to come around, and Clea explained that everything in Asgard was unfamiliar.
