No-One But You (The Zephyr Endeavor)
Chapter 76: The Beautiful People (Part 6)
Victor Strange was getting taller.
Stephen wanted to tell him that, but he chose the silent road and he quickly messed up the top of his brother's hair.
They were still in the Mirror Dimension, but it felt like it was time for them to get going. Their discussion wasn't the greatest, and Stephen was feeling more or less melancholy about what had taken place with his brother.
Victor absentmindedly stared at Stephen's blue cloak as it fluttered around his arms. The color was cool, but the baby Strange kept quiet about it. It seemed like the blue one was possibly communicating with the red one that Stephen gave him.
He was processing all of that, then he started pawing at the front of his hair. He didn't mind his brother messing it up. It made Victor smile a little, then he tried to re-shape it and have it go in a certain direction.
The mirrors around them started slipping away, and the world of Asgard slowly started returning to view… The baby Strange didn't want to face anyone that was there, so he quietly told his brother where he planned to go.
…
"So, I'll be in the meditation chamber for a while, cuz… I need a… break…"
…
Victor felt like a failure, like always, so he inwardly decided that he needed to clear his head and get his shit together. He kinda formed a plan with his brother, and he said goodbye to Stephen before anyone there could see his face…
The self described epic-failure version of the "Sorcerer Supreme" transported himself to the Sanctum Sanctorum, and he made his way up the steep staircase.
Victor ignored Wong from the get, and he didn't realize that the man mistook him for Stephen Strange. Wong saw the red cloak first, then his posture and resemblance threw him off as well.
No cellphones or "earthly belongings" were allowed in the meditation chamber, and Victor was beyond grateful for that. He knew that he'd be endlessly scrolling through a million messages and pictures if he kept it on him, so he fished the phone out of his pocket and he quickly turned it off.
They had a special box for their stuff, so he placed his phone, his wallet, keys and all that crap in the box, then he slowly shut the lid. Victor could NOT re-read anything that was sent to him by his not-so-friendly ex roommate/boyfriend. That shit was just….
It was next level, and devastating. The baby Strange closed his eyes after he walked into the ancient chamber, then he took a seat in the middle of the room.
The outside world was officially off limits to Victor as he made the decision to enter the room and close himself off from the rest of the world.
He didn't feel like he was doing anyone any good in his current state, but the baby Sorcerer Supreme was bound and determined to power through his butchered emotions and get his head back on straight….
