Noone's POV

(At the hospital)

Stephen Vincent Strange, once an extremely famous neurosurgeon who got into a car wreck. He stared at Christine, his partner who he had worked with for so long. He stared longingly at her, almost like he was thinking of her but in reality he was thinking of how to kill her. You see, the car wreck..It didn't just mess up his hands but his sanity levels had slowly dropped from it. He suddenly got a notification which he instantly checked. He saw it was from Nathan, he smiled. He saw Nathan as a son.

Nathan had recently got an internship at Stark International, not realising it wasn't actually any of the living Stark family but someone called Pepper Potts. Of course, Stephen would be the first to find out about his new internship, he was proud of Nathan. But he was extremely overprotective over the young male. Mainly because of his sanity levels. He was..seen as a villain by most when he is known by 'Doctor Strange' unlike when he is as his civilian self, he is calm and collected. Hiding his insanity from everyone else so he wouldn't be put into a mental asylum. He then had heard about the famous Tony Stark, well Anthony Edward Stark, but Tony for short. He never thought he'd have to ever meet or see this person/male at all. Especially since he is technically a villain

(With Tony, Bruce and Peter)

Tony stood up with Bruce's help, the three of them heard a familiar voice of Director Nick Fury. It wasn't long but it took abit to get down, he walked inside and walked over to the small group with an unreadable look/body language and because of the sudden silence it made him uncomfortable. Bruce gently patted his friend, he made sure Tony was okay. They looked at Fury with a blank look.

"For someone whose meant to be an Avenger, a good guy. Did that sound so good guy like eh?!"

Peter snapped at the older male, the sixteen year old hugged Tony close and tightly, clearly he was protective. Nick sighed at his small outburst of anger, he was prone to them. Nick Fury looked at Tony and frowned abit before he spoke gently "Tony? Can you tell me exactly what happened so we have a recorded statement?" He asked the shaking male.

Tony took a breath before he nodded, he walked off with Nick as he shakingly spoke with Nick recording everything that was said, he felt bad for the other. It had taken around half an hour to fortyfive minutes. Once done, they returned to the others. Sophie ran to Tony and nuzzled against his leg gently, wanting to grab his attention and she had. He slowly knelt down so he's not just - collapse - onto the floor. He felt her crawl into his lap after she made him sit down. She started licking at his face happily.

Stephen Strange's POV

I watched Christine and groaned, haven become Sorcerer Supreme it had taken abit of a toll on me, but the wreck..I can't blame it. I mean, when I awoke I was told that my hands could no longer work. f*****g hell did I prove them wrong, but..The argument with Christine before I went to the Kamar-Taj which resides in Tibet. Heh..Since the Ancient One died, well passed away because it was her time I've now become Sorcerer Supreme I rule over it-? Technically now anyway. It's abit of a bother, honestly. I do get annoyed by it but Wong is there to keep me as sane as possible as he knows I'm insane. I sighed as Christine tried to gain my attention but she failed miserably because I was focused on something else - well someone else..This Tony Stark person was he smarter than I? What had he done that made him more liked and more famous then I? It honestly angered me because I thought I was famous for being a neurosurgeon. It angered me, but I waited for another reply from Nathan and when I got it, I was pleased.

'Hey, Doctor Strange!

Guess what?! I get to meet Mr. Stark tomorrow!! Maybe you could come a-along with me? Cause I'm only with my sister and she is in the hospital anyway..S-So please? I was told I need a parent or parental figure with me for the first meeting..So please? I'd ask someone else but they'd instantly say no..

So please, dad?

~Nathan'

That shocked me, he called me..dad..I couldn't believe it! I was called dad by Nathan! It overjoyed me. I couldn't believe that he had called me that. I smiled to myself as I stared at the screen as I had a goofy smile. Christine looked concerned at me which made me to smirk. I then replied to Nathan with;

'Hey, Nath.

Of course! Why would someone say no to you? Especially since you are an amazing person. What time is it tomorrow? I'll make sure I'm off early. Or I'll say to Christine I'm not coming in tomorrow, okay? Miss you Nath but I have to go now, if you send a message I'll answer it later okay?

~Steph'

I sent back to Nathan and put my phone into my pocket as I looked at Christine, annoyed. I finally decided to speak to her but my tone held abit of insanity laced within it, it was certainly noticed by her.

"What, Christine?! Can I not message someone without you being angry at me?"

I said as it was heard in my voice that I was annoyed at her, she stiffened abit. I sighed as he looked at my shaking hands, I just shrugged and went to somewhere else. I had enough of Christine. I had enough of everything and everyone! I sat in a closet, thinking. I realised I could of done something so I decided to put my hands out infront of me and create a 'portal' if you will. I kept moving my hands into the position to create it, once it was done I stepped through and it shut behind me. I knew I shouldn't of done that but I didn't care.

I was home..At the Sanctum, I saw Wong so I calmed down and smiled. He knew of my craziness. He had helped me quite a lot with it. I watched as Wong rolled his eyes at me, telling me that he was in an annoyed mood. I pouted abit from that but I did chuckle as I went over, looking at what he was doing

"Listening to Beyoncé still Wong?"

I asked as he huffed but what I hadn't of realised is that I did know Tony. I used to be a friend to him. But I had forgotten due to most memories being pushed away.

Tony's POV

I felt Sophie licking my face which made me laugh. I petted her as I smiled softly at her. I guess it made her happy because I heard a happy bark come from her, it made me happy and forget about Steve. I thought of my old friend, I would call him 'Vince' due to his middle name. I sighed abit sadly as Peter then started to try act like Sophie which caused me to blink and fell back laughing, covering my mouth as my Arc Reactor whirled and beeped. I could hear Peter and Bruce laughing now, as well as Fury. I smiled

"Thank you, Fury..For this. For coming to our aid as it's to do with what we thought would be a team even if I became blind. I'm sorry this happened.."

I said sadly as I sat up, Peter helped me stand so I'd not instantly fall right back onto my ass. I then thought of Vince again, I tried to remember his full name. Vince- Vincent Strange? No that didn't sound right..I didn't dwell on it too much because I heard Fury say this

"There is a famous neurosurgeon, I'm sure you'd love to meet him. He's a damn genius but he has issues trusting people. Not sure if he still is one or not, but that's all I know. Now, goodbye Bruce, Peter and Tony. Hopefully Steve will not come back." I gave a sigh of relief, I however quickly asked what his name was. Nick seemed to have hesitated to answer me but he did answer as he spoke

"Stephen. Stephen Vincent Strange."

That's all I remember being said before everything..went black. I had passed out, laying on the floor infront of my service dog, Nick Fury, Bruce Banner and Peter Parker. I knew Peter would be worried, but..that name..It was my friends name..It was my crush's name.. I didn't move, speak or anything.

Peter's POV

I watched as Mr. Stark just..fainted?! I felt concern. He fainted after hearing a single name, could it hold importance to him? I wasn't completely sure. I ran to his side and pulled him into a hold, with Bruce's help we got him onto the sofa. We said our goodbyes to Mr. Fury before I looked at Mr. Stark, worried beyond belief

"Who..Who is Stephen Vincent Strange..?"

I asked to Bruce in wonder yet my tone was full of anger because if this person means something to Mr. Stark, then I need to find him. No matter the cost, but how? Is he a hero? A villain? An antihero? I groaned at the thought of this, it angered me. Bruce chuckled abit at me, I pouted at that.

"Can you check him up on the database and get Falcon, well Sam to come by and tell us? Or send it to me and I'll tell Mr. Stark?" I said with a hum. My tone held a cold tone but Bruce nodded, he understood me. I smiled abit as I bowed slightly. Happy to at least know Bruce is still on our side. "Thank you, Bruce..and Thank you Hulk. I know he probably wants to be thanked to!" I said happily

Bruce laughed and smiled, he nodded however "Hulk appreciates the gesture kiddo, I'll get back to you as soon as I find out what exactly is going on. Especially with all of this and if Tony wakes up, message me. I'll come over and help"
