No-One But You (The Mystic Consultant) - Part 2

Chapter 28: Silver Poetry (Part 8)

…

Did you know, it's always been a Strange Strange world…

…

Stephen Strange wasn't sure on the timeline, but he decided to hand the reins over to his younger sister Donna. As he gave Donna the permission she needed to step in, the real Sorcerer Supreme accomplished one more thing.

He sent two text messages to someone who lived out there in Brooklyn. Steve Rogers had a feisty brunette on his lap when he received the first message, and the soldier had another brunette toward his left.

Bucky Barnes heard the phone vibrate several times, but his mind was a bit preoccupied. "Double Trouble," aka Tony and Steve were doing what they always managed to do…. They were tormenting him with their intense relationship, or whatever.

The not-so-winter soldier was pondering it all when Steve stopped kissing Tony. Tony Stark had to pry his eyes open, and it took him about a minute to process Steve answering the phone.

"Stephen wants the three of us to know something is about to happen, but it's out of his hands."

Say what? Tony kept staring at Steve's yummy shoulder. He managed to get the hot blonde's shirt off, but Stephen's random mess interrupted the mewwwd. What the fuck? Out of his hands?

"Can you tell him that his timing sucks?"

Bucky had to chime in. He glanced at Tony's flustered face. Bucky almost laughed at him, because Steve's bambi-eyed lover wasn't saying shit. He just watched Steve Rogers take a year to compose a text message. The blonde was getting better at it, sorta.

Tony was still on his lap, and staring….

Steve held a small smile as his eyes migrated up from his phone. He glanced in Tony's direction, but he kept quiet. The smile Steve had became playful, coy, and intentional. The smaller brunette was trying to process his game and he choked up a bit when the blonde started moving around beneath his legs.

"I'd say Stephen's timing is perfect."

Steve definitely had some thinking to do. He spoke only to Bucky Barnes as he slowly flipped his relic of a cellphone shut. The taller brunette heard those words. A sly grin slipped across Bucky's face as Steve spoke to him.

The cellphone vibrated for the second and final time. Stephen delivered his response to Steve and the golden boy started reading it right away.

Tony's eyes sharpened up as Steve innocently read over the text message. Tony started thinking the timing was perfect as well, because who the fuck knew what direction they all were headed that evening…

"He said he's going to remain in the Dark Dimension. His sister Donna is taking over Victor's transition into the role of the Sorcerer Supreme."

Awww, good for her.

Tony neglected to comment on the recently delivered information, but he gave it some thought. His left leg was cramping up, and the snacks they had prepared were getting all over the place. Tony moved off of Steve's lap, then he roughly tossed a bag of chips in Bucky's direction.

Bucky caught the bag with a smile. His focus centered on Steve's romantic interest, then several comments emerged in his mind.

"Do you think Stephen's timing was perfect Tony?"

Bucky's tone was comical. He seemed amused with himself as he caught the chips that were suddenly hurled in his direction. Steve forced his mouth to remain closed when Tony returned the comment with a fiery glare.

"Eat shit Bucky."

Tony looked a little lethal as he stood up. Steve didn't want to add any additional fuel to the fire, so he did his best to seem unresponsive about everything. The blonde wanted to laugh at Tony's spitfire response, but he controlled himself and he just watched him cross the room.

Bucky wasn't done. He watched Tony cross the room and make his exit toward the kitchen. He decided to bring up one more point in that moment. The not-so-winter soldier glanced at Steve before he spoke.

"I guess I should head off to my apartment now, huh?"

"You think?"

Get the fuck out ya dumb fuck. Tony almost broke the sink as he tossed something in it. He was beyond irritated with Bucky fucking Barnes, but that was yesterday's news. Tony wanted to murder him, but Steve got a pass.

He was mad at himself for giving into all of that, bullshit, and he thought Stephen Strange had the absolute perfect timing. The man was a saint, because shit was getting crazy in that apartment.

Steve Rogers must have gone and lost his damn mind, because he was allowing his friend to change up the show….

Tony poured himself a gallon of ice water to drink as he thought about everyone's bullshit behavior.
