Stephen stood there, just looking at the dark, swirling void in front of him for a good, long time. As if maybe, if he glared at it enough, it would simply go away. But it didn’t. And it wouldn’t. And Stephen knew that. He just wished it would. His attention then drifted beside him to Loki, a pleading expression on his face. Because yeah, he fucked up. Again. And maybe the blame wasn’t entirely on Strange this time around, but the sorcerer couldn’t help but take responsibility. He had been the one pushing this experimentation so hard, even before Tony had been dragged into it. But then that fancy worktable of Stark’s had shown up. That, in combination of Parker’s arrival - who spoke of particle colliders and dimension hopping - Stephen couldn’t help but get his hopes up. Like this was a sign. As if he were meant to have some sort of breakthrough with his research. And to their credit, Stark and Strange had succeeded in.. something. But it wasn’t what they wanted, and truly, it could have been a lot worse than this. Whatever this was. “I’m going to go through. Can you keep an eye on this thing while I'm gone?” Stephen spoke, a little bit wary, but mostly anxious, “I need to see if it’s something dangerous.” Hazel eyes studied Loki’s face. Stephen knew he was in trouble. This was far from their first disagreement over something stupid Strange had done. But this time, there might have been real consequences. Dramatic as it sounded, he added a firm, “Listen, if I don’t come back out, don’t follow me in here, okay?” |
