"What the hell are we going to do?!" Was the question that was asked over and over again as Stephen quickly showered and changed into a freshly laundered suit and Cloak of Levitation. "I'm going to walk into those tunnels and I'm going to annihilate anyone that stands between her and me," Stephen growls as his Alpha side becomes too strong to control anymore and begins to take over. "Stephen, you have to think this through please!" Wong says as he has to jog to keep up with his friend.

"Already thought about it. I've already come up with a dozen or more ways to kill everyone in the room except (Y/N). Now if you're done trying to talk me out of this, I have to go save my love and end this feud once and for all." Stephen growls as he uses his sling ring to open a portal directly below every single one of Kaecilius's men causing them to fall into the room that he and the rest of the protectors of the sanctuaries were in. "Make sure that you secure those men. I don't want Kaecilius to have any type of help when I fight him." Stephen growls.

"Stephen please you don't want to do this! Please you're my best friend!" Wong yells as Stephen disappears through a portal. "Hello, Kaecilius. I see your master, Dormammu, finally let you out of his punishment. Or am I mistaken and did you actually manage to escape? Because if that's the case then you do realize that I can and will turn what's left of your sorry carcass back over to him once I'm done ripping you to shreds right?" Stephen hisses coldly as he lands then slowly stands up. "Ah, The Replacement. So good to see that you've figured out our plan for your...oh dear. A moment please." Kaecilius says with a smirk.

Stephen's eyes go wide as he looks past Kaecilius and sees you and the shape you're in. There's dried blood caked down the left side of your head and more blood gently oozing on top of the thick scabs. There are deep gashes up and down your entire torso and Stephen can tell by the way you hold yourself that there are worse gashes up and down your back. You'd just started to whimper in pain as Kaecilius approaches you and gently strokes your cheek before grabbing a handful of your hair and slamming your head against the wall causing you to scream in pain which is what causes Stephen to snap and rush at Kaecilius.

"Ohhh! So what Tina says is true! You've developed feelings for your little protégé. Oh this is going to be so much fun making you watch as I slowly tear her sanity to pieces." Kaecilius growls before dodging Stephen and using you as a meat shield. "S-Stephen...p....please!" You manage to choke through your own blood before Tina comes out of nowhere and kicks you as hard as she can in the stomach causing you to retch.

Stephen quickly sends a disc of bright gold light hurtling towards Tina who doesn't manage to dodge as quickly as Kaecilius and it ends up severing her right arm a few inches below the shoulder and she drops her staff and screams at the top of her lungs which distracted Kaecilius just long enough so that you could send your own disc of magic toward him and quickly and cleanly decapitated him. "NOOOOO!!!!" Tina screams as she tries to grab her staff. "I don't fucking think so!" Stephen growls as he kicks it out of her hand and raises his hands again only to stop as you wrap your hand around his wrist.

"Please...just take me home...I hurt so bad!" You sob softly as blood drips from your chin to your chest. Stephen's rage immediately dissipates as he uses his magic to untie the leather straps that are holding you to the wall that you're currently strapped to and quickly catches you as your legs aren't sturdy enough to hold you up on their own anymore. "It h-h-hurts!" You sob as you wrap your arms around his neck and begin to cry. "Shhhh. It's alright sweetheart. It's ok. Let's get you home." He whispers as he picks you up easily and opens a portal back to his bedroom and walks through. "Where does it hurt? Here?" He asks softly as he places his hand over your bloody abdomen.

You nod and lay your head against his chest and immediately apologize to both him and the Cloak for getting both of them dirty. "(Y/N), there's more important things to worry about than a little bit of blood. Besides I used to be a surgeon. It's not like I'm going to swoon dramatically all over the place because of a little gore." Stephen says as he rolls his eyes and the Cloak gently begins to dab at the fresh blood and it breaks your heart to see how loving the pair of them are being towards you. "Stephen I-" you begin but he quickly shuts you up with a soft kiss to the lips. "Hush and rest." He says in a tone that leaves absolutely no room for argument. "But Stephen they...th- oh fuck." You groan before you pass out in his arms.
