On my way.

[ Is the heads up sent, approximately 35 minutes after his last contact and about 20 seconds before a portal opens up on the porch to deposit one Stephen Strange directly outside the front door. He's dressed in his civvies (he'd considered wizard garb for the gravitas but figured it might overshadow the conversation) and will knock on the door to announce himself if there's nobody nearby to greet him. ]

[ ... what has he signed himself up for. ]

Dr Strange is fine. Thanks.

[ But he does enter in as invited, doing his best to keep the dubiousness from his face as he passes Eddie and takes in their new home. Every house in Sunset Falls has its one unique feeling, and he can't help the outside trace of a smile as he takes his first good look at this one. ]

I assume this isn't a rental.

[ Damn. Struck gold indeed. He takes in all that's in view with an assessing eye, takes in all that isn't with an unseen outward reach, and both earn a more solid hitch to that smile. He turns it on Eddie to reply. ]

I know. [ OurPowers is one thing he's guaranteed to check, and that day's output was no different - not all of it, but enough. Though it wasn't Eddie driving the bulk of the conversation. His half-smile drops a little. ] Sorry, by the way. About your friend.

[ Ah. Stephen's expression sobers entirely. Three quarters dead, and judging by the two he's already seen are living here they're all still kids or close enough. It's a big question to have to ask at any age. He can't help but to resent that they have to grapple with it at this one.

He nods his understanding, glances toward the couch in the living room. ]


Shall we sit?

[ Best achieve some comfort before his answers fail to provide any more. And maybe best to make that clear before making himself at home. ]

To warn you, I can't answer definitively. But I do have some insight, some previous adjacent experience. We can discuss theories.

[ He doesn't bother with a thanks, helps himself to the couch. There's not a lot of need for niceties when dying a painful death is the last thing on the table.

There's also not a lot of need to sugar coat. ]


You were all dead before arriving here, to each of your knowledge? Not in the process of dying - you'd died.

[ It's an important detail to lock in before he starts on more. ]

[ Brink of death, death almost inevitable. Alright. ]

Have you all had your deaths confirmed by one another, or did you come from same point in the timeline?

[ A pause while he digests that, insult added to the injury of early, violent deaths. There's one particular conclusion he doesn't like having to come to, and it has him watching Eddie pick at his jeans for a second or two before speaking up again. ]

I've got a worst case and some better cases. Where do you want to start?

Alright. Worst case, you vanish from here and go home, arriving back at the exact point you left like a spirit re-entering the body. You live your last milliseconds and you die as you were going to.

[ He doesn't hesitate to let it sink in, it's close enough to Eddie's personal theory that dwelling won't make it any better. Besides. It's the worst case, not the only case, and the faster they move on the faster he can get to the rest. ]

The only precedent I have is previous experience in an entirely different multiversal displacement situation. I can't speak to how accurate it'll be to the way things work here, but it's a possibility in the case of spontaneous disappearance, perhaps also voluntary return to your timeline. [ A realisation - ] Actually, somebody from my neck of the multiverse recently returned after disappearing. I haven't spoken to him about it, but you might want to reach out to him. I can put you in contact later.

No.

[ Immediate, and definite, eye contact unwavering. ]

Timelines don't have course correct. There's no right ending that the universe will fight to see reached, only our collective actions and their consequences.
