[color=53A981]"Of course,"[/color] he obliged, before opening up a secondary portal underneath Bonnie's body. Her body fell through and ended up in the Sanctum in New York, and a moment later, Strange closed that portal. He then started to smirk slightly. There was something so comical and innocent about Roman cursing out the drone he attempted to destroy. They didn't really get little moments like that anymore. [color=53A981]"I believe you need some assistance,"[/color] he said, before he sent a magic disc flying at the drone and he cut it in half, a shower of sparks signaling its (un)timely demise. 

	[color=847296]"This builds character,"[/color] Shuri told Roman, clapping him on the back slightly. [color=847296]"Come on, we need to catch up with the colonizers,"[/color] she added, more or less pushing Roman through the portal. Once they were through, Strange followed them and shut the portal behind them, leaving the battlefield behind. [hr][hr][center][h3][color=84B4E2][b]Underneath Mount Bashenga - Wakanda: July 16th, 2021 - 4:00 A.M.[/b][/color][/h3][/center][hr][hr]	[color=53A981]"...So I see that you have all decided to pretend that you [i]aren't[/i] facing a dangerous criminal with mystical prowess?"[/color] Strange asked, raising an eyebrow as he came through the portal with the others and saw Doom at the workbench. While most people knew Victor von Doom as the former ruler of Serbia, based in the Latveria region - or perhaps as a master scientist - he also had considerable magical talent. Similarly to the Scarlet Witch and certain Asgardians, he was on the list of threats to the multiverse that the wizards monitored. 

	[color=57A2EC]"He's dying Strange, there isn't a point in attacking him..."[/color] she said to him, shaking her head at what he had said about attacking Doom.
	
	[color=377E4B]"Please,"[/color] Doom started, before coughing again, [color=377E4B]"I am still more dangerous than that homosexual sorcerer you call supreme over there!"[/color]

	[color=57A2EC]"Victor you are not helping in trying to convince him [i]not[/i] to attack you."[/color]

	[color=377E4B]"It's not my fault that he,"[/color] Doom paused, his eyes closing for a moment as he sneezed and accidentally smacked his head against his hand, [color=377E4B]"is an imbecile!"[/color]

	[color=57A2EC]"Stop it already."[/color]

	Strange was pretty much just ignoring Doom. He was a dying vain and prejudiced man. [color=53A981]"Please, I've gotten drinks with Tony Stark. My self esteem is bulletproof,"[/color] he reassured the Invisible Woman, before he did as Niah asked and opened a portal back to the Sanctum so they could bring on through the refined vibranium.

It was one thing when a soldier died in battle - another thing entirely when they were just a kid with their entire life ahead of them. Sure, Spider-Gwen had come from a different world but that didn't keep her from fighting to make things right. In some ways, it was her youthful hope and fire that had kept the spark alive in Captain Marvel when things were at their bleakest. 

	[color=red]"Hey, at least I never killed anyone!"[/color] Wanda snapped, glaring at Maria slightly for that comment. She sensed that Raynor was staring at her for a moment and she sighed. [color=red]"Okay, maybe I killed a few people... but never kids... I think."[/color]

	[color=F86A6A]"Oh, that just [i]fills[/i] me with confidence, Shego!"[/color] Captain Marvel quipped. Had the world not ended, she would have fit in well with the Avengers. They tended to make comments like that all of the time, preferring sarcastic asides to direct confrontation most of the time. 

	[color=red]"I don't even know who that is, [i]Miss[/i] Marvel,"[/color] Wanda retorted. 

	[color=F86A6A]"It's [i]Captain[/i], asshole,"[/color] she replied - Raynor lost it hearing that, actually starting to laugh. The two women gave him a weird look, not understanding why he was laughing at a time like this. In fact, Carol couldn't even remember the last time she had seen Raynor smile and laugh like that. She considered punching him for it, since they had just lost their youngest member. [color=F86A6A]"Can I help you?"[/color] she asked him. 

	[color=d86615]"Nope, I'm fine thanks, Captain Asshole,"[/color] he snickered, shaking his head. 
	
	Carol's hands then started to glow and she blasted Raynor backwards, the Asgardian hitting the wall - but it didn't wipe the smirk off his face. The Vision seemed a bit confused, not really understanding why allies were fighting with each other - and why people did not seem to understand the urgency of the situation. 

	[color=A49C63]"There was a girl stationed in the lobby of the building - she was under Ultron's instructions to incapacitate you or her father would be killed,"[/color] the Vision stated calmly. [color=A49C63]"The virus should still be present here and there are no other hostiles in the area - aside from the incoming drones."[/color] His voice was rather crisp, sharp, and succinct - void of emotion and humanity. 

	The portal was open now and Raynor picked up Spider-Gwen, carrying her through the portal. Once the virus was retrieved, the rest would follow suit - Wanda and Captain Marvel flanking the Vision, just in case the synthezoid did attempt something once they returned to the Sanctum. [hr][hr][center][h3][color=84B4E2][b]New York Sanctum - New York: July 15th, 2021 - 9:00 P.M.[/b][/color][/h3][/center][hr][hr]	Banner had been studying all of the known theories on how to make a time machine back in the Sanctum. He was sitting down in front of the only television in the place, a pen and paper in front of him as he jotted down key concepts from his source material: [i]Back to the Future[/i]. Goose was next to him and he occasionally would pet the kitty, scratching him behind the ears. [color=8dc73f]"Goose..."[/color] he said softly, speaking to the animal, [color=8dc73f]"I don't believe it... It's [i]bullshit.[/i]"[/color]

	[color=8dc73f]"If you travel back in time and change the past, then that changes your future which becomes your past - it's all a paradox!"[/color] he complained to the cat. 

	As if the universe had heard him, a sling ring portal then opened and Bonnie's body fell out of it, landing with a resounding thud on the floor next to Banner. The renowned gamma radiation scientist's face fell and as he stared at Bonnie's lifeless body, all he could think about was his son - another brilliant mind gone too soon. [color=8dc73f]"Oh no..."[/color] he said quietly, before he saw another portal open up and Flynn walked through, a living fireball. 

	What was he supposed to tell him - that he was [i]sorry for his loss?[/i] They all had lost people. They were all sorry. It never changed anything. 

	[color=8dc73f]"...Did you get the virus?"[/color] Banner asked as more people started to come back from Virginia, his eyes going wide as he saw the Vision come on through as well. [color=8dc73f]"What the hell?!"[/color]
