Chapter 25
"How did you get into my apartment?!" You screech as Dr. Cho flips on the lights in the living room before you can even get to them. "That's not a concern right now." She answers as she pats the couch beside her for you to sit down. "Um, okay. Kinda think it is but I'll let you go first." You say as you slowly walk over and sit down beside you. "You know that Stephen is first and foremost one of the most brilliant men in the world right?" She asks. "Yeah, it's kinda well known. What's your point?" You ask sarcastically as you roll your eyes. Stephen was honestly the last person that you wanted to talk about right now and yet that's who everyone seemed to want to talk about and that was making you madder by the minute especially as the memories of him leaving you replayed over and over in your mind and each time was more vivid than the last.
"His magic and his intelligence is tied to him being an Alpha. Those three things make up who he is. A genius, a magician, and an Alpha." She explains as though you're supposed to be having a light bulb moment. "Ok and? What do you want me to do about that? Buy him a Starbucks gift card? Get to the damn point because I'm really tired of hearing about him!" You growl as you get up and stomp over to the fridge to get something to munch on. "Since you're his omega and you've rejected him he's effectively going through the same thing that you went through for the past year." She says coldly, not liking that you're not taking any of this seriously.
"Good. Maybe it'll do him some good to be rejected and have to deal with the insanity that comes with that. Now if you'd like to talk about literally anyone besides Strange, you can stay. Otherwise, please do me a favor and exit the way you came in so that I might call maintenance and have a work order filed so that window or door can be reinforced so that no one else can get in uninvited." You say just as coldly as she spoke to you just moments earlier. "You really can't see that he loves you, can you?" She asks as she stands up. "If he loved me, then tell me why he stayed with her for a year instead of finding a way to be with me. Tell me why he let his 'omega' as you called me, suffer excruciating heats for twelve months while he paraded her around on his arm! Oh trust and believe I saw all the footage from Stark's Expos. Six bloody times they showed up together. SIX! And he was smiling and laughing the entire time while being interviewed so please, Helen, spare me the lies on his behalf." You hiss at her.
"I'll be going then." She says as she stands and walks to the door and quickly exits it leaving you to deal with the emotions that you thought you'd gotten under control in therapy. You'd just sat down with a pint of frozen yogurt to cry your feelings out when you heard your phone buzz from across the room and groaned. It was always something these days, you thought to yourself as you slowly walked over from where you'd been trying to relax on the couch to your phone on the kitchen island. "Wonder who wants to harass me now?" You mutter as you punch in the passcode to your phone. You swipe down to see who the message is from and immediately frown when you see it's from the woman who just left after breaking and entering into your apartment. But what the message said is what had you scrambling to get your official combat gear on after safely stashing your ice cream back in the freezer. "Just so you know, he's going to try and manipulate time in order to get you back." The message read and within seconds you were sprinting back to the Avengers Tower as fast as you could.
None of you had yet realized that Tina had used an extra spell in order for you to relive your worst moments. Meaning the reason why you were so hostile is because you were being forced to believe that once again he was choosing her over you and it was causing you to reject him and anything and anyone that reminded you of him. And it was all about to come to a head.
