In the week that had rolled by without their powers earlier in the month, Stephen had tried so very hard not to let it get to him. Logically, he knew it would come to pass, as everything did within the hotel. That, and Loki wasn't taking it all that well, so naturally, he wanted to stay collected for his partner's sake. Unfortunately, Stephen Strange was still human and for a moment there, it had worried him, both for his sake and Daphne's. Because.. what if it had been permanent this time? Thankfully, things would return to normal. And when they did, Stephen would go to work with fixing a few problems they had run into. Including making his sanctum accessible, should they ever run into a similar issue.. Needless to say, Stephen had fallen into one of his frantic work modes as a result. This particular morning, he'd rise early with the intention of spending all day in the sanctum. But the hotel would have other plans.. Stephen nearly tripped over an object on the bathroom floor as he stepped inside, his focus immediately lowering to the item in question: an ominously glowing blue box with silver details. Frankly, it was too early for Stephen to be properly puzzled over it. He didn't know what it was, but he presumed it had been given to them by the hotel to inconvenience them somehow. Or maybe it belonged to Loki? Stephen turned on his heel and crawled back into bed, wrapping his arms around his sleeping partner, kissing their forehead and trying to wake them as gently as possible, lest he rouse a cranky Loki. |
