"Why did you do that?" He asked in wide eyed disbelief to the woman above him.

Her green eyes shimmered "You felt that too?" She asked, ignoring his question.

He did feel that, the fire burning at him.

"Yes" He said softly.

"So did I" she said with a smile.

It felt good he had to admit, but he still didn't understand it.

"Don't overthink it" she said as her lips met his once again.

Tomura stood on his factory roof and looked out on New York City. Jean had just left, he still didn't really understand why she kissed him.

He looked up at the shining sky as he thought back to Jean.

He still didn't understand, was he meant to bring her on dates? He didn't really want to, he just wanted to talk to her normally if he was being honest.

The kiss felt good, it felt amazing.

What about Scott? And Logan.

He thought back to Logan's confession and groaned.

This was going to be a bitch.

He walked through the sorcerers sanctum, he never even thought other sorcerers other than The Ancient One would exist.

But as he looked around he spotted dozens of sorcerers, were they all as powerful as The Ancient One?

Probably not given most seemed to bow or show signs of deference to her as she walked by.

They seemed uneasy.

Of him?

He followed The Ancient One through the mystical building ignoring the stares and looks he got from the surrounding sorcerers.

Did they know about the slaughters he has committed?

At that thought his eyes wandered to the missing forearm on the Sorcerer Supreme, something he caused.

He felt his jaw clench, he kept following The Ancient One until she stopped at a door and invited him in with a gesture.

The odd duo of The Ancient One and Tomura Shigaraki came across the form of a meditating floating Stephen Strange.

"Strange" The Ancient One said to the floating man who lost his balance and opened his eyes only to see the Sorcercer Supreme and an Avenger.

"You will be shadowing Tomura during his expedition into the realm of Barfær." The Ancient One said to the bearded man.

Tomura turned his head in surprise, his expedition?

"Your goal will be too exterminate the Barfær ruler, it is a threat not only to earth but to dozens of other planets."

"By killing Emperor Balur you will destabilise his army and make it so they no longer invade any surrounding planets."

"Strange, you are to observe." The Ancient One finished as she opened a portal to Barfær and then turned to Tomura.

"Balur is a demon who has killed millions in his pursuit of his empire, Tomura if your promise to punish the guilty was real. You will want to start with this." She said as she left the room, leaving the wide eyed Strange and a thoughtful Tomura behind.

Tomura felt resolve burn in him, if he was to redeem himself.

This seemed a good start.

He looked towards the bearded man who nodded at him. "I'm Doctor Strange" he said as he offered his hand confidently.

Strange felt uneasy, something about the Avenger had the hair on the back of his neck rising.

His hand shook slightly and Tomura noticed the extreme scarring on them with surprise.

Tomura nodded "Tomura" he said as he took the man's hand. "What magic do you know?" He asked, he hadn't seen much of The Ancient Ones magic except portals.

Strange hid a wince "Shield of Seraphim, Whip of Ligyut, Chain of Argart and Imp of Neph." The spell list were the very basics, he knew portals as well but didn't include them as every sorcerer knew portals.

Tomura didn't know a lick of magic, but given chain, whip, shield and imp were in the name he could guess what the spells were for.

"Okay, let's get going Doctor" he said as he walked through the portal, Strange followed him in his light blue robes.

"Nice cloak" he said as he looked at Tomuras black feather cloak.

Tomura turned with a grin "Finally someone who appreciates it, you'd do good with a cloak yourself" he said as he looked around the planet around them.

He was here to kill an evil emperor.

Cool.

The planet was ravaged, they were surrounded in destroyed villages, the soil was a deep dark purple with grass being sharp and brittle.

The sky was a dark blue with stars peeking through the deep thick black clouds.

Strange was also looking around in fascination, he still didn't know why he was here to only observe.

The Avenger must know some magic of his own if he and The Ancient One know one another. "Tomura, what magics do you know?"

He was curious, maybe the reason The Ancient One sent him here was to learn from the younger man.

Though it did grate at his nerves to have to acquiesce to a teenager he could respect his power.

Footage of the Ultron fight was put onto the internet from a scared civilian who had not been properly evacuated until the very last minute.

The clip showed Tomura wiping out half a city and thousands of robots in an instant.

Tomura turned around with a surprised look on his face "Yeah I don't know any magic, wish I did know those portals though. I could bring Nomu here."

Strange furrowed his brows, he had no sorcery training at all?

How the hell was he meant to learn anything from the teenager.

But something did catch his attention. "Nomu? I can open portals if you want I just need a location"

"Uh just anywhere near manhattan should be good" Tomura said with a grin.

Strange opened the portal, thinking of Manhattan.

A portal opened in the middle of Manhattan luckily an empty alley, Strange sighed in relief.

"NOMUU!!" Shigaraki shouted out the portal.

Not even 10 awkward seconds later a large winged beaked humanoid creature came flying through the portal with a squak.

It landed with a crash, its muscles were rippling across its whole body. The surgeon part of Dr Strange eyed the thing in horror especially when he saw it's exposed brain.

"What the fuck" he whispered to himself, he'd seen some weird things but something about this thing was exuding dark energy that set him on edge.

Wait, no.

The dark energy was everywhere.

Was it the planet?

As he looked towards the teen he realised that no, the dark energy was not from the planet.

He took a step back and looked around him, he could almost see the energy now that he noticed it.

For miles around the energy exuded, all from him.

This…this teenager…
