You've reached Dr. Stephen Strange. Leave a message and my secretary will get back to you.

He what?!

[Stephen has been too tired and too strung out for too long to take this with any measure of calm.]

What the hell is wrong with those two?! Is it something genetic?

It's something unhealthy and obsessive with Mycroft, at least. Their parents are perfectly lovely people.

Perfectly lovely people whose son wants to bodysnatch me.

[Thanks for the existential horror, btw.]

Where is he now? And where's Sherlock; Mycroft can't expect to pull it off if he doesn't have both of us in the same place.

[Unfortunately, John has no explanation. It's bizarre to him, as well.]

I don't know. He woke up at the chapel, I think. Probably around there. For Mycroft, anyway. Sherlock said he's looking to meet up with him. They might both head for the tunnels. That'd be my guess for the route.

Oh, good, so they could be anywhere.

[And here he is headed right for the radiation zone, where they could pop up several places.]

Tell me Sherlock isn't on board with this.

[jumpthegun]

I haven't talked to him, but he wouldn't be. That's not... he's mad, but not like this. He doesn't hurt innocent people just for his vanity.

[thewarningafter]

Uh...maybe do talk to him? Just a thought.

[jumpthegun]

I will. I just wanted to warn you first.

[thewarningafter]

...Thank you.

[The pause isn't because he's ungrateful. It's just...how the hell do you react to this kind of news?]

It's something. And I'm not traveling alone, at least.

[jumpthegun]

Bucky's offered to come and be your body guard, as well, if you need him. He'll be able to fend off just about anyone here. And I'll be keeping a hold on Mycroft as soon as I find him. He won't be doing anything to you personally. I promise. I already told him I'd be protecting you, Stephen, and I did mean that. Whatever it takes.

I'm sorry you've got caught up in all this.

[thewarningafter]

I know Bucky would do a good job. I just don't know how he and Peter feel about each other after...everything.

We'll be alright. We don't have anywhere to be, so I'll make sure we aren't anywhere I'd be expected to show up.

[jumpthegun]

All right, but if you need us, please don't hesitate to call. Good luck.

[thewarningafter]

Thanks. You too.
