Narrator's POV

Tony and Alina were both pardoned by Furry and his agents, although they kept them under close watch, Alina more than anything. She was taken to a highly secured facility and put away, Stephen would often times visit her. They became close friends. They shared stories and took long walks together, celebrating Hazel's life. Stephen also aided Alina with a few problems she was having.

He taught her how to control her emotions and ease her mind from her troubles. Alina was on a better path now.

As for Tony, Furry had other plans...

"Knock knock." Stephen said, standing at the doorway. He saw Tony sitting on the edge of the bed, with his back to him.

"Oh." Tony turned to him. "Hey." He sounded troubled.

Stephen didn't say anything and joined Tony, sitting next to him.

They sat in silence, staring down at their shoes.

"How long?" Stephen spoke suddenly.

"Today is the last day." Tony said. "I wanted to tell you two weeks ago, but I could never find the right time."

Stephen gave a soft laugh. "I know." He nodded. "I've known since the day after the incident."

Tony looked at him, Stephen tapped his temple. "I forgot you can do that." Tony said.

"Yeah." Stephen sighed.

They both looked back down at the ground, sitting in silence.

"Today was my last day too." Stephen said.

Tony looked at him.

"I also wanted to tell you, but I figured it'd be better to tell you last minute. That way you could get mad at me for not telling you and maybe not be as torn about it." Stephen explained.

"How did-"

"The Ancient One requested my return after what happened this second time." Stephen said. "She wants me to train more."

"My dad just wants me out of here after I lied to him about going to Kamar-Taj and missing so many classes." Tony said.

Stephen looked at him. "Do Bruce and Thor know?"

"Yes. I actually told Bruce before I planned on telling you." Tony said.

"At least he'll still have Thor." Stephen said.

"Oh, no." Tony said. "Thor left two days ago."

"Really?" Stephen asked.

"Yeah." Tony said. "He said something about having to complete some training to become the rightful ruler of "Ass Wolrd"-"

"Asgard." Stephen corrected him.

"Yeah, or something like that." Tony finished.

"Damn." Stephen said. "It must be very hard for Bruce to lose his two best friends in a week."

"Did you just..." Tony looked at Stephen.

"What?" Stephen asked.

"Did you just use a bad word?" Tony asked.

Stephen rolled his eyes. "Sure."

"Ooooo." Tony slapped Stephen's thigh. "You bad boy." He laughed.

"Oh. Stop it." Stephen laughed.

They both laughed, enjoying the last bits of laughter the two would probably share for a long time.

They looked at each other, staring into each other's eyes.

"Tony..." Stephen spoke.

"Yes?" Tony answered him, leaning closer to his wizard.

"I'm gonna miss you." Stephen's eyes pooled with tears as he leaned closer to Tony, binding their lips in a sweet kiss.

The passion this kiss contained was unbelievable. The two teens had shared tremendous memories, lots of laughter, and fallen in love.

Tony wrapped his arms around Stephen, picking him up. Stephen held onto his boyfriend, not wanting to let go. He waved his hand toward the door, closing it and locking it.

Tony broke the kiss, looking at Stephen. Their faces were both flushed red.

"Just this one time." Stephen said.

Tony pulled him into another kiss and laid his wizard on the bed.

Stephen stared into the brown eyes of his loving boyfriend, caressing his face.

Soft sheets covered their naked bodies, and the sun rays coming through the window warmed their faces.

"Anthony Edward Stark..." Stephen spoke softly.

Tony took the had that caressed his face and gave it a gentle kiss. "Yes?"

"I want you to have this." Stephen said, pulling out a colorful bracelet out of thin air.

"What's this?" Tony looked at it.

Stephen placed it around Tony's wrist. "So you'll remember the day I broke your heart." Stephen said.

Tony looked up at him. Stephen smiled at him. Tears began to pool in Tony eyes. "Oh, Stephen." He held Stephen close.

"Anthony Edward Stark." Dr. Edward looked at Tony, who had his parents by his sides. He held a suitcase in his hands. Bruce stood by Dr. Edward's side.

They stood outside in the gardens.

"Stephen Vincent Strange." Dr. Edward looked over at Stephen, who stood next to Tony. The Ancient One stood behind Stephen, with a portal opened behind them. "I pardon you both from this school without a record or history at this school." He said. "I hope life brings the best for you both and that you learn many things along the way." Dr. Edward looked at Tony. "Anthony..."

"Yes sir?" Tony looked at Dr. Edward.

Dr. Edward placed a hand on Tony's shoulder. "Keep inventing." He said.

"Always." Tony nodded.

Dr. Edward smiled at him, then looked at Stephen. "Stephen."

Stephen looked up at him with his chin up high.

"Stay brave." Dr. Edward said to him.

Stephen gave him a nod.

Dr. Edward backed up, allowing Bruce to go up to his friends.

"I'm going to miss you both so much." Bruce said.

"We are too, Bruce." Stephen said.

"I don't want you to leave!" Bruce embraced both of his friends.

"We have no choice." Tony said.

"I'm sorry, Bruce." Stephen said.

"Please don't forget me." Bruce sniffled.

"We would never." Tony said.

"Please don't forget us." Stephen said.

"Never." Bruce said.

Dr. Edward cleared his throat. "Bruce." He said.

Bruce pulled away, going back over to Dr. Edward's side and wiping tears away from his eyes. Dr. Edward and he made their way back to the dorms.

Stephen and Tony looked at each other, turning to each other now.

"I guess this is goodbye." Tony said.

"I suppose it is." Stephen said, tearing up.

They shook hands.

"You know..." Tony said. "You never pulled a rabbit out of your hat for me."

Stephen laughed a little. "No." He smiled. "That's not really how it works." He said with a shaky tone.

"You owe me." Tony said with a huge lump in his throat. He was holding back so many tears.

They stared at each other.

"Anthony." Tony's dad said.

Tony quickly pulled Stephen into a hug. "I'm going to miss you so much." He sniffled, struggling to hold tears back. "Thank you for bringing me the best memories of my life." He said.

Stephen laughed, tears poured down his cheeks. He pulled away, holding Tony by the shoulders. "You made my life a happy one..." He smiled. "There's no tragedy in that."

Stephen let go, walking over to the portal. He looked back at Tony one last time, giving him one last smile before entering the portal. After him, stepped in The Ancient One, closing the portal for good.

"Come on, son." Mr. Stark said, placing a hand on Tony's shoulder. Tony turned to his parents as they escorted him away toward their car. Once they were all in, they left the campus.

Tony stared out the window, watching the Academy slowly leave his sight. He sighed, looking down at his shoes. It was quiet in the car. He looked at his wrist, looking at the bracelet Stephen had given him. He ran his fingers over it and smiled.

Sir

"Can't you see I'm busy Jarvis?" Tony said, working on a boot for his suit at his work station in his underground garage. Sparks flew here and there.

There's a visitor at the door.

"Pepper will get it."

I'm afraid she already has. She's coming to tell you that-

"Mr. Stark." Pepper popped her head in Tony's garage.

"I'm busy." Tony answered.

"But Mr. Stark." She said. "There's someone here asking for you."

"Who is it?" Tony asked, still working on.

"Some Doctor that goes by the name Stephen Strange." She said.

Sparks stopped flying about. Tony looked up, lifting his goggles. He looked down at the bracelet around his wrist, then at Pepper. "Who?"
