Chapter 14
Stephen Strange looked at me with a confused face, clearly assessing my question. "What do you mean, Alien HIV?"
"Just let me be clear," I said, trying to explain myself. "If a human like, engaged in sexual intercourse with an alien, could this human potentially contract some kind of outer space STD?"
"I don't... How could you...?" Strange was speechless, and, to be honest, so was I.
Crossing my arms, I sighed, "I mean, they said you were a doctor. And I guess you are the only one that I could ask this hypothetical question"
Behind me, the voice of the old woman's laughter caught my attention. "No dante, It's not that easy to get an Alien HIV. There's not a lot of species similar to humans in outer space"
I felt a gigantic weight lifted off my back, yet I was still preoccupied with my main mission.
"We don't have too much time, let's get going" Stephen continued, sitting down in a meditation position.
The old woman sat down next to Strange. Crossing my legs, I got into the same position they were in. As soon as my eyes closed, the three of us entered the astral plane.
...
Walking through a forest, the three of us arrived at a gigantic lake with four waterfalls. However, the place was completely silent. The only sound I could hear was the breathing of the old woman and Strange.
Little by little, the water took the shape of what looked like people. Then, as if I were watching a movie, Strange's memories began to stream into my eyes.
Within a minute, several flashes passed through my eyes, at a speed that was difficult to comprehend at first. Even so, it didn't take long for those memories to assimilate with my own, it was as if I was experiencing everything that had been described.
Strange saw Victor's attack. Mordo was allying himself with him in order to gain more knowledge about black magic. He wanted to take advantage of the confusion of the attack on Kamar-Taj to obtain the Darkhold, the book created by the ancient God Chthon.
Dr. Doom was wearing demonic armor, making the spells directed at him ineffective. He had found a way to nullify the old woman's magical attacks.
Looking at me, the old woman was the first to speak. "You understand what we need to do, right?"
I nodded, "Doom has found a way to ignore our spells, I imagine this has something to do with limbo."
Strange nodded, "Exactly, that armor works by transmitting our spells to the dimensional plane of limbo."
"It was Belasco who created this armor, the same demon who kidnapped Illyana"
I had already imagined that this was the problem, the truth was that they were probably talking to me as a way of getting to Illyana. She suffered a lot in limbo, that region was too dangerous for a frightened little girl.
In the comics, Limbo changed bosses several times... If necessary, I would conquer that dimension for my beloved.
"You want Illyana's help to defeat Victor Von Doom, right?" I said, clenching my fist.
My chest was burning with irritation; I wasn't angry with Strange or the old woman. That feeling was more to do with my own weakness, I still wasn't strong enough to protect my own girlfriend.
They didn't come to me for my help, they came to me for Illyana's help.
I need to get stronger.
Looking at the two of them, I sighed. "So, Strange, what do we need to do?"
...
The plan the two of them had developed was relatively simple. We needed to lure Victor Von Doom to Limbo in a region that was far from Belasco and his soldiers. In the short time we'll be there, Strange and I will immobilize Dr. Doom.
Meanwhile, the old woman will destroy Doom's armor and try to trap him in the Labyrinthine Lexicon. If this mission is successful, the monastery will receive a significant donation from the US government for imprisoning one of America's greatest enemies.
In the first attempt at this plan, Magik managed to break Doom's demonic armor by herself with the Soulsword. However, this caused the old woman to become close to Mordo, who killed her.
The new plan involved keeping Mordo busy with Illyana, Wong and the rest of the high-ranking wizards in the branches. This would practically nullify Mordo's ability to win.
Nodding my head, I held out my hand to Stephen. "All right, I'll talk to Illyana"
Stephen looked at my hand with a worried face, he was a little afraid. Still, he held my hand. "I hope this alien STD doesn't spread through your skin"
The old woman started laughing "You're not even touching! Hahaha"
The astral dimension was too physical, well, for an astral dimension.
...
When we returned to the real world, I felt a strong headache coming on. It was as if my senses were blurred by the change between planes, and that feeling was identical to how I felt while testing the teleportation ability I received from Illyana.
"We still have to wait for Doom's actions, so I ask you not to disappear again," said Stephen, who had already lectured me.
The old woman grabbed my hand and I felt a metallic object in my hand. When I looked, there were two bracelets with spheres with symbols that seemed to be Buddhist. The elder then instructed me: "If you get lost again, just focus your energy on the cord. It will warn us instantly, as well as creating an opportunity to escape."
I nodded my thanks.
Now it was time to return home and have a serious talk with my Russian girlfriend.
...
Surprisingly, Illyana wasn't angry with me for getting a blowjob from an alien. Well, from an Alien holder. The truth was that she was worried about me, after all, I only had to walk two blocks to get into trouble.
"You need to be more attentive! I don't want you to..." Illyana's eyes filled with tears. Swallowing back her sobs, she continued to speak in a shaky voice: "I don't want you to..."
At the same moment, I hugged her. Wrapping my arms around her body and running my hand down her back. I knew this topic was difficult for her.
Illyana had been kidnapped by Belasco at a young age, and probably saving me made her relive some traumas that she wasn't yet ready to face head-on.
