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

[ He is still shaking his head a little, because what. ]

What a great deal to make on behalf the human race.

[ Ugh, even he wasn't that bad. He wasn't even the one who was going to blow up Manhattan, in the end! ]

So what ended up happening to him?

[thewarningafter]

He and his followers got what they wanted. It was just the rest of Earth that didn't.

[termineur]

[ He probably shouldn't smirk the way he does. Oh, well. ]

That's some ironic justice there. Good.

If my regen ability ever comes back, I'll probably live a good long time myself. But- not like that, thankfully. What idiots.

[thewarningafter]

I thought so, too.

[Because guess who made sure they got their just deserts.]

Anyway, that's the closest thing I've seen to interdimensional travel like this, and obviously it's not all that close.

[termineur]

Yeah, not exactly similar. Maybe it's enough to know it's possible. This place clearly has some sort of control over it.

[thewarningafter]

That's about the gist of it, yeah. Someone's found a way to do it, and that means we should be able to reverse engineer it if we can just figure out how.

[termineur]

Right.

[ He knows he probably could- if he had his powers back. Which he explicitly has told people he doesn't want to do. It's too dangerous. But maybe they'll need it at the end. ...he doesn't know. And he doesn't want to admit that, even if that's where his theorizing always brings him. ]

Okay, I've probably eaten up enough of your time tonight. I'm going to get to bed before Al calls and hounds me about it.

[ He looks back up at the tablet, his own expression oddly vulnerable as he smile shyly. ]

Thanks, Doctor. Really. I thought I was going to spend the rest of my time here traveling alone, and now- at least it's enough protection that we can risk it.

[thewarningafter]

[That brings a smile to Stephen's face, too. It's so rare that he feels like he's doing any good here.]

I'm glad. Just let me know if anything changes that feels like it shouldn't.

[termineur]

[ It's really too bad he can't see the smile on Stephen's face thanks to the new static issue, but he can kind of hear it in his voice. ]

Will do.

I know it's hard to manage here, but- stay safe, huh?

[ And he disconnects. ]
