Spider-Man ran towards the top of the building. Using his web launchers, he shot up to the top of the building and used his own strength to launch himself upwards.
"They'll take the fall, we need to use this time to immobilize them"
Meanwhile, I just created a portal above Misstress Venom, her symbiote voice was like a roar of dozens of women. She was screaming in despair as she spun through the air. Luckily, the pressure variation wasn't high enough to kill them both.
"I need to arrest her," I said. However, I knew that the symbiote could leave the host's body and materialize. Stretching out my arms, I began to conjure a spell. Moving my hands, I signaled with the symbol of the tiger and shouted with all my might "Cage of Hoggoth"
Meanwhile, Spider-man threw several webs towards the two of them. This made my job easier, as the symbiote couldn't split in time.
The sound of thunder echoed through the sky, then the roar of a tiger caught the attention of everyone in the area. Misstress Venom began to levitate, going against her own gravity. Then the spectral image of a tiger engulfed her.
What followed was a box of energy appearing around the two of them. Carefully, I eased our fall while the spider man. He climbed into the box with me.
"You should be careful, it's not good to show your face to the public. Especially on your first appearance," said Parker.
With a smile I replied, don't worry, that's what they're seeing. Moving my hand in front of my face, I revealed Kamar-Taj's identity protection spell. Everyone in the street watching me couldn't really distinguish my face from a figure.
Peter took a step back, startled. "How? Is that light diffraction?"
I nodded, "You could say that, it's not too far from physics"
What he saw was probably a figure in place of my face, probably an uncomfortable sight to be around.
...
When the agents from S.H.I.E.L.D's mutant division arrived on the scene, I helped them contain Ember and the symbiote. Placing them both in a closed container before releasing the spell.
In the middle of the process, Wong and Strange arrived on the scene. They both had not very happy faces. Pulling me by the ear, Wong began to scold me "I told you not to draw attention to yourself! The monastery is already in trouble!" he shouted.
Stephen sighed, approaching Spider-man "How are things going? Are you having problems at college?"
Spider-man was visibly embarrassed, his voice a little shaky in Stephen's presence. "Ah! Mr. Strange! Yeah Yeah, college is been fun. Not really too much fun but I'm... I'm doing my best. I still needed to thank you for your help"
Doctor Strange laughed at the way he was acting, "Don't worry about it, we'll talk later. Now I need to make sure that Wong doesn't kill my new disciple"
Both Wong and I were incredulous at what he had just said. "Disciple?" we asked, practically at the same time.
Snapping his fingers, the three of us disappeared from that place. Within seconds, Wong and I were thrown into a room with a large red sofa. My ear was still hurting, both from the scolding and from the strength of Wong, who was still treating me like a child.
Well, he had no idea I was already an adult. Wait, I'm eighteen in this earth too... I already am an Adult for him.
Strange was sitting a little forward in an armchair. Looking around the room, I was startled "Is this some kind of casting? I'm not into this kind of shit dude!" I shouted.
Wong started laughing at the situation, "You are evil Dante"
Strange's face didn't look very happy, clenching his hands and teeth. He waited a while before speaking, probably to regain his patience. "This room is in my office, no, I'm not making a porn movie. I brought you two here to explain our situation"
Getting up from the sofa, I walked over to the window while Strange continued talking. The outside of that room had a view that I could only describe as a lava lamp. There were no houses, no buildings, just a blue liquid with purple bubbles rising and falling. We were in a different dimension, one I couldn't recognize from the comics, not even my [Reader Eye] seemed to.
"The old woman will die tonight in the battle with Dr. Doom, that's an event we can't change. After all, that's a choice she made herself. The three of us will bear the consequences of continuing Ancient One's activities and plans. Because of this, I've brought you two to a place where we can talk without interruptions." Strange's voice didn't sound right, he felt a kind of pain in his speech.
Turning to the two of them, I looked at Stephen and this time, I tried to be honest with my doubts. "Strange, have you been jumping for time? I'm sure I saw you arrive at the monastery just three years ago. How did you spend that time researching with Mordo and becoming such a strong Wizard? I know it's not so easy to evolve in the magical world"
Strange sighed, "This is a bad time for you to find that out," he said, then laughed sarcastically.
Wong looked at me and then at Strange "He should have known that a long time ago".
"When you arrived, your body wasn't used to the energy of this world. You were exactly in the middle between a soul and a living being. The old woman needed the help of practically the entire monastery to keep you in this dimension."
Wong crossed his arms, nodding. "You were unconscious for four years, and the old woman took care of you with all her energy. Like a son"
Strange added, "Your magical energy was so strong that Mordo and I went to the spiritual dimension to prevent you from destroying Kamar-Taj. In any case, I arrived at Kamar-Taj long before you did, so what you observed was probably my memories"
It took me a while to understand all this, possessing some of Strange's and the old woman's memories was something that wasn't on my list of goals. But now it made sense why I seemed to have such an easy time with the books Wong recommended. Even if it was difficult to understand his topics, I was still able to learn with surprising speed compared to the rest of the students.
Bowing my head a little, I thanked them both "Thank you, Master Wong and Master Strange"
When I stood up, Stephen walked over to me. Placing his hands on my shoulders, he looked deep into my eyes. "You have everything it takes to be the next Sorcerer Supreme, that's why I want to train you"
