Tony
It’s been an hour ever since Doctor Strange had spoken to the Time Stone. He knows time is inevitable for them, he had to admit that he had been restless. He knows his current purpose - to focus on protecting one of the last Titans who can be matched to Thanos. Does the kid know who he truly was? No, there is still another existing Titan and it is Peter’s second brother - Eros. But where is he? He should have known the actions of Thanos. Is he also a victim of the snap? Many questions are still running in his head. If Peter cannot do such a heavy responsibility, maybe Eros can? But the Infinity stone had made it clear that Peter is their chosen one. So, Eros is out of the picture.
As the Sorcerer was plunged again in his deep thoughts. Peter suddenly mumbled in his sleep.
“Tony….” it suddenly caught the Sorcerer’s attention.
“Tony...you can’t….I won’t let you….” it was a silent plea on Peter’s lips. The Sorcerer in a short span of time went to Peter’s side. “Tony...I will never allow you...don’t….”.
“Hey Peter, wake up...you are having a nightmare…” Stephen shook the teenager lightly hoping it would wake him. But still, he doesn’t budge. The Sorcerer continues to shake him up a little and caresses Peter’s cheek, as to what he has remembered on how Tony Stark calmed his spiderling in the middle of the crisis.
In a matter of 15 minutes or so, Peter slowly opened his eyes much to the Sorcerers delight. But he was caught off guard the way Peter looked at him. A look of longing.
“Tony? My beloved Anthony Edward Stark….” Peter reached out to the Sorcerer’s face caressing him lovingly with a sweet smile on his lips. “I can’t let you do it Anthony….you can’t….” Peter slowly got up, still continuing in caressing the Sorcerer’s face, he can’t stop what the boy is doing to him. Being admired by the young one. As he looked into Peter’s eyes, he can’t stop admiring how beautiful those eyes are. It’s just that it’s color is not normal, it was a shade of purple? The same shade of color as Thanos.
Peter still continued in admiring the being in front of him “Oh Tony….I love you so much….I can’t wait for our Little Morgan….” and in an instant, he closed the distance between him and the Sorcerer. Hands on his chest to feel his raging heartbeat. And from that simple kiss Doctor Strange saw flashes of memory.
And another life. Another heartbeat.
This is wrong. So wrong but he was drawn to Peter’s love to Tony Stark, so powerful that can even match his expertise to the Mystic Arts. He enclosed his arms to Peter’s lithe body and melted on that sweet kiss.
So pure. Like a Herculean strength.
Another life to protect, until they get out of here.
And Peter knows that one chance out of 14 million. And he is going to change it. He will for the sake of Tony and Little Morgan.
All of a sudden the spell was broken and Peter once again succumbed into a deep sleep.
Doctor Strange never felt this deep remorse. What had he done? He is now a victim of a human weakness called temptation.
Tony Stark needs to act out really soon.
While he continues to protect and wait.
