MCU Timeline: Iron Man 3

+ "All Hail the King" one-shot.

The main events take place in December 2013.

October 12, 1964 - Trevor Slattery lands his first role (Liverpool Royal Court Theatre).

October 6, 1968 - James Rupert Rhodes is born.

1986 - Slattery's mother dies while he is working on a rejected CBS pilot in the US.

Before 2000 - Pepper works with Aldrich Killian.

December 31, 1999 - January 1, 2000 - scientific conference in Bern, Switzerland. Tony, Yinsen, Dr. Wu, and Aldrich Killian meet for the first time.

2007 - Birth of Harley Keener's sister. Their father leaves the family.

2008 - Aldrich Killian injects himself with Extremis.

Note: it could also mean "5 years and then a few more years without them", but given the next date, it's unlikely that the time gap between injecting himself and testing others was significant. And I'll remind you that by the time of the test on volunteers, Killian already looked healthy.

June 25, 2009 17:30 - Project Extremis Injections tests Phase 1. The first human death as a result of Extremis explosion.

2011 - The Roxxon Norco scow spilled a million gallons of crude oil off the coast of Pensacola, and President Ellis let the culprits off the hook.

April 2, 2011 - Killian records a video of Trevor as "the Mandarin" somewhere in the Middle East.

2013 (most likely no more than a few months before the main events) - Chad Davis explosion in Rose Hill, Tennessee.

December 15-16, 2013 ~11 pm - 2 am - Tony's first night without sleep. He (most likely) woke up from a nightmare and avoided going to bed from then on.

December 17, 2013 - An Extremis soldier exploded at Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait.

December 18-19, 2013, ~11 pm - 2 am - Tony implants 48 micro-repeaters for Mark 42 into his body and watches the Mandarin's TV broadcast.

Yes, I determined the date by the phase of the moon.

December 19, 2013 - presentation of Iron Patriot to the public.

December 20, 2013 - Tony and Rhodey at Neptune's Net restaurant. Tony experiences his first anxiety attack. He returns home and orders a custom rabbit for Pepper.

December 22, 2013 (Sunday):

4 pm - Killian's appointment with Pepper at SI.

I don't know why SI works on Sundays, guys. It must be illegal.

4:25 pm - Tony calls Happy via Skype, and Happy tells him that Killian is showing Pepper his big brain.

Note: wrong day of the week on the phone screen. It was Sunday, not Tuesday.

~6 pm - Tony and Pepper's "date". They go to bed, but are soon awakened by Tony's nightmare.

Night - Happy follows Savin to the Chinese Theater, where he is injured by another Extremis explosion.

Tony spends the night at Happy's bedside in the hospital.

December 23, 2013 (Monday):

Morning - Tony challenges the Mandarin upon leaving the hospital.

~4 pm - Savin attacks the Malibu mansion.

5-7 pm - Tony arrives in Rose Hill, Tennessee, sends a message to Pepper, and meets Harley Keener.

Pepper stays at the ruins of Tony's mansion. She finds one of Iron Man's helmets with the message from Tony. She and Maya head to a hotel.

8 pm - Tony and Harley go to downtown Rose Hill to investigate the explosion.

~8:30 pm - Savin and Brandt attack Tony. He kills Brandt and knocks out Savin. Tony almost dies sacrificing himself to save EJ (Harley's bully), but Harley saves him.

~11:30 pm - Tony hacks into AIM system.

Killian takes Pepper hostage. His agent captures Rhodey.

December 24, 2013:

Early morning - Tony makes weapons to storm the Mandarin's mansion.

Afternoon - he reaches Miami and storms the mansion. He meets Trevor and learns the truth about the Mandarin, but Savin knocks him out.

Tony wakes up tied to a bed in Maya's lab. Killian kills Maya.

Killian and Savin take the Iron Patriot suit. Tony escapes and reunites with Rhodey and Trevor. They head to Roxxon Norco.

Evening - Savin captures President Ellis. Tony kills Savin and saves the people falling from Air Force One.

Night - the Battle on the Norco.

December 25, 2013 - The Vice President and Trevor are arrested.

Last days of December 2013/First days of January 2014 - Happy comes out of a coma.

Happy still has bright bruises and scratches on his face when he wakes up, meaning it's been less than two weeks since the explosion.

Early 2014 - Tony stabilizes Extremis and removes it from Pepper's system.

May 2014 - Tony, in gratitude, remodels Harley's garage and replaces his sister's broken watch.

Why May: Harley is still in school, but there is green grass everywhere, some flowers, and his clothes hint that it is May.

~Late May 2014 - Tony undergoes surgery to remove the reactor and shrapnel from his chest in China and stays there with Pepper for some time for post-op rehabilitation.

Note: here Tony gifts Pepper with a necklace made of shrapnel from his heart. They are still in China (Shanghai).

Why it was most likely late May: judging by the weather and clothing, it was no earlier than April and no later than September. Since Tony arranged his gift to Harley in May, it's safe to assume that he did it right before such a risky procedure as open heart surgery (especially when doctors told us his chances were slim).

Second half of 2014 - an agent of the Ten Rings takes Trevor Slattery from Seagate Prison and delivers him to the real Mandarin.

Note: Don't forget about the time a trial takes! This will add months between Trevor's arrest and the one-shot events.

Late 2014 - Tony returns to the ruins of his Malibu mansion to throw the reactor into the ocean and pick up the damaged robots.

Note: look at the plants that have grown in the ruins. It would take them about a year, or even more, to grow.

Late 2014 or Early 2015 - Tony tells his story to Bruce, who fell asleep at the very beginning.

Some argue that the events of the movie take place not in 2013, but in 2012. Why it can't be December 2012:

The movie says it's December 2013.

The Official Timeline says it's December 2013.

Logic says it's December 2013.

All the evidence aside, let's think about it for a second. How long would it take to build all these suits? In The Avengers, Tony's newest suit was Mark 7. Between The Avengers and IM3, Tony created 35 suits, and from May 5 to December 18, 2012, there were 228 days. Creating a suit would take at least several days. That is, if that was Tony's main occupation. But it wasn't. He worked on them at night, and during the day he was SI's R&D department, was working on the redesign/rebuild of Avengers Tower, and was also busy dating Pepper. We can't say exactly how many days it would take to create a new Mark, but most likely at least 10 days (nights): 35*10=350 days minimum, which he would need to create them all. In 2012 we are already out of days. So in any case we get 2013, not 2012.

While searching for existing MCU timelines, I also found this attempt at creating a timeline that went horribly wrong because the author forgot about logic and didn't calculate anything correctly. Let's take this for example, "it's 2012 because Maya said the kid is 13." How old is "the kid" if it is December 23, 2012? Well, conception would have occurred on January 1, 2000. Now we need to add 9 months, don't forget about that! We get October 1, 2000. Now add 13 years and we get October 1, 2013. Before that, "the kid" would have been 12 years old, not 13. Case closed.

the one where peter realizes that all peter parkers has an mj in their lives that they hold dearly in their hearts, and you, his good friend who happened to have the same initials, might be the person he’s meant to break down his walls for for the first time again after vowing to lock it up forever.

pairing: tasm!peter parker x mj!reader

word count: 2.8k

rating: NC-17

content: fluff, friends to lovers au; ft. professor!reader, professor!tasm!peter

warning/s: suggestive sexual themes; this fic isn’t that marinated yet for editing so there might be some mistakes here and there.

opening note. i rewatched spider-man: no way home and came up with this idea while doing so lol. technically, i know tasm!peter is not supposed to remember mcu!peter but for the sake of this fic, let’s just pretend that he does okay hehehe. also, i know this is supposed to be a reader-insert fic, but again, for plot purposes, you will have a name with the mj initial !

Peter felt like the densest person alive when it clicked to him that Peter 1’s Michelle Jones-Watson and Peter 2’s Mary Jane Watson had a version of her own in his universe.

He knew that he should have realized it as soon as the two Peters mentioned them, but he was so caught up with being in an entirely new dimension and coming up with a plan that would save its people that he didn’t have the luxury to process it quicker than usual; he just allowed it to be heard by his ears and shooed away by his preoccupied mind, deeming the information as merely trivial.

However, the second he was left alone with his thoughts, just as he began formulating and working on the cure for Dr. Curt Conners, it hit him like a ton of bricks that if these Peters had a partner that had the same initials, then it wouldn’t be quite impossible for him to supposedly have an MJ of his own—and that you, whose full name was Mia Joesette Watson, seemed to have perfectly fit that specific criteria.

In Peter’s defense, since you preferred to be called ��Jo’ and the entirety of your name was very different from the other MJs, he should be given some slack for not realizing it sooner. It’s not like there was some memo that said all Peters indeed had an MJ in their life and that this said MJ would have a significant impact in it.

Still though, a part of him reckoned that he should have known better due to how much of an important and dear person you were to him. After all, since vowing to himself that he would never allow anyone to know about his identity as Spider-Man after what happened to Gwen, you became the exception to that rule because of what Peter now assumed was the universe’s way of telling him that you were meant to know him other than just Peter Parker, your colleague and fellow adjunct professor at the university you both worked in.

So when he got transported back to his universe thanks to Peter 1’s wizard friend, the first thing he did was rush to the university grounds where he knew you would be, ignoring the pain he felt in his body from all the fight and getting the first clothes he could find in his apartment to wear over his Spider-Man suit so that he could disguise himself as an average guy.

He just knew he couldn’t wait to see you again. It was going to be literally torturous if he prolonged this any longer, his head only filled with thoughts of how much he wanted to see you and prove if the theory he had been thinking of was right.

Peter wished it was; he never said it out loud before, but it has been months since he has been in denial with himself that he was already gaining romantic feelings for you due to his fear of ever loving someone so much again.

And if this was the go signal he had been waiting for that told him it was safe to fall in love with you, then he was going to take it.

━━

Arriving at the faculty building, he marched to where your office was and heedlessly opened the door without warning, spotting you by your desk with a student sitting across you.

From the looks of it alone, this student—Rachel, as Peter remembered her—was having a consultation with you, her laptop opened for you and folders scattered on the table, a very clear indication that he shouldn’t have barged in like he just had right now unannounced.

Your eyes flashed to him in an instant, confusion and surprise etching on your features. “Mr. Parker,” you acknowledged, keeping the interaction as professional as it could since there were existing rumors of the both of you having a love affair (from what you gathered, the students were ‘shipping’ you together), “is there anything I can help you with?”

He swallowed hard, embarrassed as he was not expecting another person to be with you at this time. “Well, uh, yes. But it can wait. I can wait out here.” He pertained to the bench outside your office.

“Oh, it’s fine, Mr. Parker,” Rachel was the one who spoke; she appeared pleased and there was a certain glint in her eyes that Peter couldn’t quite decipher. “My consultation period with Ms. Watson is done. So, you can have her.” She closed her laptop that was on your desk and kept the rest of her things before standing up.

“No, no, if you still have something to discuss—”

Any protest done by Peter got ignored by Rachel as she thanked you for your time, this big teasing grin on her face, and bid her farewell to you and Peter, scurrying to the door then to give you two the privacy you needed.

“Rachel, remember to email me the revisions by tonight, alright?” You reminded her gently before she could completely leave.

“Will do!” she giddily replied, closing the door behind her.

Once she was far enough and out of hearing shot, Peter turned back to you and saw you gazing at him with your arms crossed against your chest, your stance clearly disapproving. He was well familiar what must be running in your mind right now; there has been a lot of times in the past wherein he has gotten hurt from crime fighting that he enlisted your help in taking care of his unreachable wounds, and during one of those instances that you saw how much he winced and was in pain, you were never shy in making your concern show.

“I’m sorry,” he quickly said, striding towards your desk while you remained there, “I forgot that it’s your consultation hours during this time.”

“Where the hell were you, Peter?” was what you asked him, no longer hiding your infuriation about the fact that he has been missing since yesterday. “You didn’t attend any of your lectures from what I’ve heard, and you haven’t been answering any of my calls.”

It took a few seconds before he spoke, and when he did, he knew that the excuse he blurted out wouldn’t be good enough for your ears. “I’ve been busy.”

“Busy? With what?” You walked around the desk to walk closer to where he was standing. “You were gone for almost two days, Pete. At first I thought you were doing your—” you paused, glancing at the door for a millisecond and keeping your voice hushed for your next sentence— “Spider-Man stuff, but I looked over the news and there weren’t reports of you from anywhere.”

“Well… that’s probably because I most likely didn’t do my Spider-Man stuff here,” he sheepishly said.

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“It means I literally wasn’t here, Jo.”

“You were out of town?”

“No, I mean literally in this world.”

“In this world?” you repeated in an impatient and puzzled manner. “So, what are you saying? Did you gain the ability to fly yourself to space?”

“No, no, I mean here, Jo.” Peter gestured to your surroundings in complete astonishment; regardless of how many hours it has been since he knew of the fact, he was still amazed to know that it was true. “In this world is what I’m saying. God, I don’t even know where to begin—but string theory, multidimensional reality, matter displacement? It’s all real. There are universes out there that are like our own, universes that we have counterparts of and who live in the same places we live in right here. The one I somehow ended up in? It had its own Peter Parker.”

You blinked at him, shocked at what he disclosed but was still in the process of taking it all in. “What?”

“The multiverse—it exists. It fucking exists.”

“LIke… like in that movie called Everything Everywhere All at Once? There’s just multiple realities happening all at the same time?”

“Exactly!”

“And the universe you traveled to, there was a Peter Parker there that wasn’t you?”

He nodded in enthusiasm. “Yes. Though, it’s interesting, because we look nothing alike. It doesn’t matter, of course. It’s just that I was under the impression that all Peter Parkers are supposed to look the same, but I suppose that there can be exemptions considering that there must be zillions of worlds in the—”

“Wait, wait, wait…” You cut him off and he immediately shut up. “So, let me get this clear, you were gone for almost two days because you were in another universe?”

“It sounds crazy, I know,” he said, “I mean, now that I’m back, I’m having a hard time grasping it again. But yes, basically, that is the reason for my absence.”

“How did you even travel there?”

“No idea. Just poofed there without warning.”

You continued staring at him, thankfully not because you seemed like you had your suspicions that he was only bluffing or was completely losing it. Peter was positive that you were going to believe him; it was dubious of you not to, given the fact that you were already aware of his powers as Spider-Man and the superhumans that posed a threat to your city from time to time. Surely, the concept of the multiverse couldn’t be the one thing you couldn’t comprehend.

“Fascinating,” you finally uttered out loud, looking genuinely impressed. “If they have their own Peter Parker there, does he happen to be Spider-Man as well?”

“Yeah.” He nodded. “There’s two of them actually—Peter 2 is from another world too, I’ll explain later—and he’s the oldest among us three. Peter 1, the youngest, is the true Peter in that dimension, while me… I’m kinda like the middle child in the whole dynamic.”

“There were three Peter Parkers in the world you transported in?”

“Yep.”

“Sounds like a handful.” You had the nerve to tease despite being stunned by the information. “I’m assuming there’s a Jo Watson in that universe then, huh?”

Peter smiled. He just remembered what he came rushing here for. There was a part of him that was still nervous about what he wanted to do now because of his newfound knowledge, afraid that maybe his case was different when it came to having an MJ in his life—yet most of him felt optimistic that this was the right path to go, and he hasn’t felt this much optimism in a while for him to ignore it.

“It does, actually.”

You raised your eyebrows. “Really?”

“Uh-huh. She looks nothing like you and she goes by MJ but I’m pretty sure that you and her are supposed to be the same.” He chuckled and so did you.

“What makes you so certain?”

“For one, she’s an important person in Peter Parker’s life, and you’re important to me too, Jo,” Peter said sincerely, his eyes practically the ones that were speaking to you that he caught the movement in which you held your breath in surprise a bit because of it. “I… to be frank, I should have realized it sooner. You’ve always been so much more than just a person I wanted to protect and care for. I’ve always been drawn to you… it’s perhaps the reason why I climbed in the wrong window that night despite memorizing this whole building.”

A snort escaped you at the memory he had you abruptly revisiting. What he was referring to was the night when you discovered he was indeed the man behind Spider-Man, all because of Peter’s mistake of climbing into your office for a supposed temporary refuge which was coincidentally placed a floor above his. He wasn’t sure what made him commit such a rookie mistake, although like he just said, he now thought it was the universe’s way of bringing him closer to you.

“Peter…” You began but he held your arms gently to stop you from carrying on with that sentence.

“You don’t have to give me an answer yet,” he said. “I just want you to know that I like you, Jo. A lot. And I’ve been trying hard not to for the past few months because of fear that I’ll just get fucked by life all over again if I allow myself to let another person in my life like I did before. Being in that other world though… seeing how those two Peters had MJs of their own—it made me hope that maybe it could work for the both of us too. Not just as friends… maybe as something more.”

You blinked at him, the implication of his words dawning onto you. To claim that you anticipate this confession would be a lie; regardless, it didn’t erase the fact that it made the butterflies in your stomach turn into a damn zoo. “Pete, I… wow, um, I’m speechless.”

“I’m sorry if I’m pouring this all out on you in one go.”

“No, don’t apologize.” You found yourself smiling, and that gesture alone made his heart want to burst in happiness. “I just mean that… well, I don’t want to be stereotypical—uh, do the other MJs happen to have romantic interest in the other Peter Parkers too?”

The both of you were beaming now. He was positive then that you were his already.

“Yeah. They’re head over heels over their Peters as a matter of fact,” Peter said.

“Oh, is that so?”

“Totally. I heard one of them even made the first move of kissing Peter.”

“Very admirable, I must say.” You were laughing again, and he couldn’t help following suit.

“Right?” He stepped closer and brought both of his hands on your cheeks. “However, as much as I would be honored for you to do that as well, I think I’ll save you the effort and do it myself.”

Before you could react, Peter had his lips already on yours, kissing you with a passion that he didn’t know he had until he was here and making it apparent to you. He loved how you melted into him the moment his mouth touched yours, how your hands traveled from staying still on both of your sides to clinging onto his coat to pull him closer to you, deepening the kiss and showing how much you needed this to happen as well, even though like him, you were only aware of that fact once this was really happening.

“Goddamn,” you cursed as you felt your bottom hit the desk; Peter had successfully led you to perch on it while he stood between your thighs, his body dangerously pressing against yours, “I never knew you had game, Pete.” You breathed out, half-teasing and half-impressed.

Peter smirked. “I’m hurt.”

“What can I do to make it up to you?” Your tone was flirtatious and he was feeling rather hot because of it.

“Lots of things, Jo. Though there are a few things at the top of my list.”

“Yeah?” You moaned as he nipped on your throat and squeezed your hips. “Like what?”

He was about to reply with the naughtiest thing he will ever utter in your presence but then loud consecutive knocks were heard from the office door, causing you two to halt at once.

Another knock came and Peter recoiled from you instantly, dashing to the nearby bookshelf to start pretending like he was interested in the books displayed there to erase the possible suspicion of what just commenced. You, on the other hand, briskly smoothened your hair, blouse, and asked the person knocking to come in, revealing it to be Rachel who appeared bashful to be back here again.

“I’m so sorry, Ms. Watson, but I seem to have forgotten my laptop charger.” She gestured to the pouch right beside you on the table, something that you recognized to be the one that contained what she returned for.

You grabbed it and outstretched the small bag towards her direction, an invitation for her to come get it herself, and she didn’t waste time darting forward, catching hold of it and mumbling her sorrys again and again, apologizing for interrupting your ‘meeting’ with Professor Parker.

“It’s fine,” you repeatedly told her too, waving your hands in assurance that it was all good and offering her a final smile before she exited the office for the second time this day, yelling a one last sorry until you heard her footsteps fade out.

As soon as that was dealt with, you and Peter simultaneously let out a huge exhale, causing your gazes to meet. By far, making out in the office was the most risqué and compromising position you permitted yourself to be in, considering that you and him were still in the university premises. Nonetheless, you ended up bursting out laughing with Peter at the thought of being discovered on the very first day you just admitted your feelings to each other, happy hormones spreading everywhere in your systems.

With a bite of his lip to prevent a bigger grin to be seen on his mouth, he lifted a hand and shot a synthetic web to your torso and abruptly hauled you towards him so that you’d fall in his arms. You gasped in absolute surprise, a complaint bubbling in your throat, yet he couldn’t care less as he carried on with kissing you again, picking up from where the both of you were left interrupted earlier.

gentle reminder: this author is a sucker for validation so please don’t hesitate to share your thoughts about this! ♡

@gloriousburden I believe that the runt aspect is inconsequential to MCU Loki's identity crisis as a whole. Not because it doesn't matter but because it's such a tiny (no pun intended) aspect of the larger issue, which is that he is biologically jötunn.

The way I see it is this:

Loki's most significant issue is that he is jötunn. This is revealed to him at a time in his life when he hasn't been given much chance to reflect on this issue for too long. He's been handed the throne to Asgard and has to keep his brother out of Asgard while dealing with the Warriors Three/Sif going behind his back before finally trying to kill himself. In this time, he regurgitates everything that he learnt growing up culturally Asgardian, that he is a monster because he is jötunn. He is the thing that he grew up fearing, the thing his brother wanted to slaughter. Being a runt is hardly an issue. It would also recontextualise his entire fucking life and probably make him realise why he may seem so other when compared to everyone else. Because Loki didn't fit in before the truth was revealed. MCU Loki does not appear to have friends; he is isolated, and that further deepens the trauma he feels later on.

Loki is then forced to endure Thanos' torture (and yes, I believe he was tortured) and the continued persistent influence of the mind stone trying to fuel his rage towards his brother. I doubt Loki had time to reflect on his being jötunn here, but if he did, I am confident that whatever feelings he had, the mind stone happily turned it into something dark and self-sabotaging.

I genuinely do not believe that MCU Loki gives two tin shits about being a runt. It's just a small piece of the larger problem. In the MCU, he never had a chance to explore what it might mean to be a jötunn (or his gender, sexuality or extensive magical abilities). Nobody addresses it, nobody speaks about it, and nobody tries to reach out and ask Loki if he needs a shoulder to lean on. So I reiterate, I don't think the runt aspect of his jötunn biology is his major or any issue. The simple reason is that I think MCU desperately wants to be Asgardian or at least blend in with other Asgardians, so to him, being a runt is actually beneficial.

There is also What If? Loki, to me, tells us that Loki, raised in Jötunnheim, has the possibility of growing to an average height/size. I don't say it's 100% confirmed because there are comic book versions of Loki raised on Jötunnheim, where he remains a runt. (Mind you, What If Baby Loki doesn't appear to be a runt, but sizes are not consistent in the MCU)

So, someone could argue that Loki, a runt, was never given the opportunity to thrive. Odin, through sheer ignorance, took a tiny baby (if I recall correctly, it is only Odin who mentions that Loki was small; Laufey just called Loki a bastard) back home with him as a trophy/baby for Frigga.

If he had been left on Jötunnheim, perhaps Loki could have thrived in his natural habit. Whether it was lack of nutrition or something to do with the environment, Loki was never granted the chance to at least attempt to grow into his jötunn form.

TL;DR - No, I do not think Loki gives a shit about being a runt.

Obvious feelings about being Jotun aside.. how do you think Loki specifically feels about the fact he is a runt? He’s probably used to being taller than most (though, Thor is still an inch taller. That guy just has to be better than him at everything, even by an inch…), so the fact that he is technically a runt (despite being considered tall) must be so weird for him.

Knowing that when Loki was told that he’s Jotun, it fucked with every aspect of how he views himself, and made him hyper conscious of EVERYTHING about his own body… Maybe one of those things being that he doesn’t feel so tall anymore. Maybe he takes it personally when someone is taller than him. Short man syndrome, but he’s 6'2 so it’s like really weird.. he’s meant to be like 9 feet tall (don’t quote me on that. I forgot the exact height of frost giants) 😞

Maybe he demands humanity to kneel to him in The Avengers not because he’s a god and humans are pathetic af and he’s their new ruler, but so he can feel like he’s 9 feet above them… ‘Ehehehe, so this is what it feels like..’ But he’d never tell anyone that… (Joke) maybe he now only befriends short peopl, because he needs a constant reminder that he’s tall as well as others he can project his insecurities onto.. (another joke)

Jk the short man syndrome thing was a joke too, but it’s interesting to think about..

On an actual serious note, I do wonder how the runt aspect specifically affected him. It’s all fucked up already, but on top of that, he was left to die because he was a runt. 😞 he was looked down upon as soon as he entered the world!! Not a single moment of happiness in his life. The whole thing probably (definitely) messes with his head quite a bit.

Looking At The Upcoming Marvel Movies, Do You Still Miss The Original Avengers?

"Avengers: Endgame" marked a significant turning point in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and brought about several changes and developments in the franchise. Here are some of the key ways the MCU has evolved since the release of "Avengers: Endgame":

Conclusion of the Infinity Saga: "Avengers: Endgame" served as the epic conclusion to the Infinity Saga, wrapping up the overarching storyline that began with "Iron Man" in 2008. It provided closure to long-running character arcs and storylines.

New Heroes and Teams: Post-"Endgame," the MCU introduced a new generation of heroes and teams. Characters like Spider-Man (Tom Holland), Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman), Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), and Captain Marvel (Brie Larson) have taken on prominent roles.

Disney+ Series: The MCU expanded to the small screen with a series of interconnected Disney+ shows, including "WandaVision," "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier," and "Loki." These series explore the personal journeys and adventures of existing characters.

Multiverse Concept: The concept of the multiverse has been introduced, allowing for alternate realities and versions of characters to coexist. This has opened up new storytelling possibilities and will play a significant role in upcoming projects.

Phase 4 and Beyond: The MCU entered Phase 4 with a diverse lineup of films and series that explore different genres and themes. Projects like "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings," "Eternals," and "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" take the franchise in fresh directions.

Diversity and Representation: The MCU has made strides in promoting diversity and representation, both in front of and behind the camera. Projects like "Black Panther" and "Shang-Chi" feature underrepresented voices and cultures.

Legacy Characters: Some original Avengers have passed on their mantles or taken on new roles. For example, Sam Wilson (The Falcon) has become the new Captain America, and Kate Bishop is set to take up the mantle of Hawkeye.

In summary, "Avengers: Endgame" marked the end of an era while paving the way for a new and exciting phase in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The franchise continues to evolve, with a focus on new heroes, interconnected storytelling, and diverse narratives that maintain its appeal to a global audience.

A lot of explaining to do

Pairing: Dr Strange x f!Reader

Summary: Doctor Strange and y/n have had a secret relationship and want to kiss at midnight and Tony Starks New Years eve party. The only issue is that y/n is Tony Starks daughter and the one rule the Avengers must follow is nodbody can have a relationship with Tony Starks daughter. Not based on the mcu timeline.

Word count: 2.8k words

Genre: Cladestine realtionship, Smut, NSFW, angst, 18+

“I’ll be there in 10 X”

Your Phone buzzed with Stephens notification, you held it close to your chest in excitement. Although you wouldn’t be able to show off your fairly new relationship with the handsome chiselled man they called Doctor Strange, your worries seemed to disappear whenever he was around.

Now most people would love to show off their new relationship especially at a social gathering like this, but of course with Stephen being an Avenger now, he must obey Tony’s boldly highlighted rule. Any member of the team cannot engage with any relationship with his daughter, and of course that had to be you. At first it wasn’t an issue but Stephen wasn’t a member of the team and didn’t even know you existed. Well he did, everyone knew the daddy daughter team within the Avengers.

Your powers being the result of a one night stand with a mutant woman, leaving you with the ability to summon fire and control any surrounding flames. But that's a story for another time.

The main issue here was you finally convinced Stephen to come to one of your father’s extravagant parties with the excuse of it being new years eve and the promise of a private after party. However it would be difficult to party with your boyfriend without hinting any form of connection between you two. The only person who knew was Natasha after she caught Stephen walking out of your room one night. All you wanted to do was kiss Stephen at midnight like any newly blossoming couple exploring the honeymoon period.

“Y/n are you going to get me that drink, i got the last round and i am paying for everything here.” Tony snapped you from your trance waving his hand across your eyes.

“Huh yeah sure, scotch?” You smile

“Look at that, she knows her dad well.” He joked kissing your cheek. You roll your eyes as you slip away dodging being dragged into conversations with people you’ve never met finally reaching the bar. You slip behind helping yourself to the glasses and observing the selections of vodkas before inevitably picking your favourite and adding it to your lemonade.

“I’ll take that in a martini with you on the side.” A familiar comforting voice guided by a glass being slid in your direction plastered an instant smile on your face. He was wearing a blue suit fitting perfectly around his body, his biceps protruded through the tightness of his sleeves, he looked perfect.

“Look at you Strange, is this you socialising?” You joke filling his glass.

“I can’t help it, I was told this girl I really like would be here and I just had to see her again.” He smiled while taking his drink.

“Doc, you made it! Finally got your head out of those books.” Tony waltzed over patting Stephen on the shoulder pulling him slightly away from you as he always did with any man who stood slightly too close for his comfort. You found it funny that he did his utmost best to reduce the chances of being charmed by rich playboys, just like your mother was.

“Its the end of the year thought I’d come to watch you piss someone off one final time this year.” He joked sarcastically only smiling when you began to laugh. Tony took his drink and headed back to Pepper to keep some of his pride, kissing her check with his arrival. “So tell me how are you going to execute operation midnight kiss?” Stephen turned to you

“Natasha is going to suggest we all find someone to kiss when the ball drops. Everyone has a significant other apart from us two. So that leaves me with you, no one will bat an eye at a midnight kiss.” You lean on the bar smiling at the man before you, noticing how his eyes examined the dress that curves with your figure. “Are you even listening?” You ask, waving your hand in front of his glassy eyes.

“Yes absolutely, sounds like you have it all planned out, let's hope nobody is suspicious when I kiss you tonight. Knowing Tony, he probably hired a detective to watch over you but I reckon I'd suss them out.” He winked sipping his drink

“Yeah because you’re a real detective Strange.”

“Maybe in a different universe, you never know.” He shrugged as you walked away. As much as you wanted to stay with him all night, you couldn’t risk anyone finding out about your clandestine relationship.

The evening went pretty smoothly, you laughed and joked with Natasha watching her flirtatious remarks fly over Bruce's head. You almost died after trying a sip of the asgardian wine Thor had brought, you found yourself leaning on the balcony trying to ignore his thundering laughter over your lightweight self. You bravely wandered back after giving Stephen a subtle nod showing you where okay, after knowing he’d be worried for you, you weren’t always the most graceful drunk. The scar on your head was a worthy example.

Most of the team sat around the main table with Clint mimicking the Mjolnir rule.

“Uh, "Whosoever be he worthy shall haveth the power!" Whatever man! It's a trick.”

“Are you serious? we’re going to go through this again?” Tony moaned

“Mr Stark is right the last time we reviewed this, I believe we had to fight ultron.” Vision stated

“But it has to be some sort of trick, plus y/n never had a go.” Clint pointed out.

“That's true, in fact I don't believe you were there at all.” Rhodey highlighted. And he was right, at that time you were tasked by Nick Fury to draft a certain sourcer to the team. And if you remember correctly by that point in the night he had already fucked you atleast three times.

“I was working.” You blushed feeling the gaze of said sourcer who knew exactly where you were that night. And who you were doing, you looked over to him and saw him smiling through his drink almost as if he was proud.

“Boo come on don’t you want to know if you could rule asgard?” Tony announced. You turned to Thor who smiled

“Be my guest, you lift it, you rule me.” He joked. You nodded and stood over the hammer and gripped it tightly, you huffed and puffed but the hammer made no effort to move. Your competitive streak pulled harder, causing you to grunt and groan as you pulled and still the hammer didn’t budge.

“Okay it's a very clear message, I’m not worthy. Sorry Thor, looks like you still rule the golden realm.” You laughed before Friday interrupted the party.

“Boss it's almost midnight, fireworks are due to start in two minutes.” The group cheered as Natasha got up winking at you during the process

“Tony, I think we should find somebody to kiss when the new year starts, you know, for luck.” You turn to your father trying your best not to look hopeful.

“Sure why not, any excuse to kiss Pepper.” He smiled, kissing her cheek. A smile formed at each side of your face as you nudged Stephen following the group outside.

“Would you look at that, a well executed plan.” He whispered to you.

“I'm surprised you stayed this long.” You whispered back. His hand moved down to your waist as he squealed your ass.

“I was promised a pretty good reward.” He purred into your ear. Your heart skipped a beat, you’d take him there and then if all these people weren’t around. Your thoughts were interrupted by the beginning of the countdown. You noticed how Stephen still wanted to protect the secrecy that you shared as he moved the two of you to the quiet corner of the balcony.

“Five, four, three, two, one. Happy new year!” You and Stephen waited for everyone to kiss their partner before your lips pressed together. He pulled you closer bringing his hands to your face, you pressed your waist to his moving slightly already teasing him with what you had promised. You smiled through the kiss as his soft groan rumbled through his throat. He pressed his forehead against yours as he spoke softly

“I can already tell this year is going to be good, all because it starts with you.” He kissed your forehead and intertwined his fingers with yours.

“I think you should go downstairs, I’ll say goodnight and meet you there.” You traced your hand down his chest.

“I think you’re right.” He smirked, raising one brow and leaving the room with a slight skip in his step.

Tony walked over handing you a glass of champagne and kissed your cheek.

“Happy new year sweetie, who kissed you.” He asked

“Nobody, I just watched the fireworks.” You laughed taking a large gulp of your drink. “Well I'm gonna call it a night, don't be too loud.” You kiss his forehead and wave to Natasha before heading to your own party.

The guests cheers and laughter began to fade as the elevator doors closed behind you. You trailed your hand along the wall as you stepped closer to your room. You entered with a heavy sigh, throwing your high heels aside.

“Why do you wear those things? They destroy your feet every time.” Stephen smiled, turning from his window view. You collapsed into his arms swaying with him as you danced to the faded music vibrating above you. You hummed as you trailed your fingers through his silver streaks and kissed his lips softly. Your hands gilded downwards and began unbuckling his belt. They slid into the opening and moved up and down his half hard shaft. He pulled you closer, his moan echoing into your lips. You released his cock and unbuttoned his shirt kissing his body as your head moved downwards, you reached the tip of his cock and began playing with it, licking it up and down before taking him into your mouth.

Your head bobbed up and down struggling to fit him entirely into your mouth gagging slightly. His hand positioned itself on the back of your head holding any loose strands of hair out of your face.

“Fuck sweetheart you really are treating me tonight.” He let out a deep groan stroking your head as you sucked harder, you moved to the tip licking the precum that gushed from his tip. You pulled the rest of his trousers down and grabbed his toned ass and pushed him deeper into your mouth. You bobbed frantically sucking all his juices as he moaned loudly, his cock grew harder and pulsated heavily with the feeling of a hot substance dripping down your throat. He came hard stroking your face as you licked every part of him and swallowed it down. You moved back up to his mouth as he pulled you in for a heavy kiss.

He continued his kiss moving down to your neck, his hand moved down sliding up your skirt smiling as he reached the wetness. His dexterous fingers glided effortlessly through your folds reaching your tender clit and began massaging it. Your knees buckled slightly at the sensation, he always knew how to please you, two more fingers appeared down there as he slid them into your wet pussy moving in and out. His sapphire blues darkened at your crippling pleasure, your knuckles turning white gripping into him as he fingered you. Your hand moved down to his cock suppried that it was already hard again, it wasn’t uncommon for Stephen to be able to fuck you all night long barely taking time to breathe. That's what had led you to miss the night Ultron attacked. By morning you loins couldn’t take it anymore and you had to leave.

“Fuck baby your hard again” you smirk regaining the use of your legs somehow manging to jerk his cock between the waves of the orgasm his fingers where creating.

“Not for much longer.” He pulled his hands out of you and sucked his fingers clean. “You’re my favourite flavour” He lifted you up and instinctively your legs wrapped around him and he pushed you against the window. He didn’t hold back thrusting himself into you as far in as he could go fucking you hard pushing in and out. It felt so hard you were worried the glass would break. His fucking proceded, deeper and harder he groaned into your ear pleasing you as he worked. The orgasm began building within your core, you waist trembled as he fucked,his length filled you effortlessly stretching you out as far as it could go. Your orgasms came and went, each stronger than the latter he always knew where that sweet spot was, you took a moment gazing into his sapphire traps as he worked watching the way the new year’s fireworks reflected in them.

He lifted you off the window still keeping his cock inside you and laid you on the bed where he knelt over you and pushed in slower, almost worshipping your body. He took time to kiss every part of you while sliding in and out gently, still pushing in deeper. His breath faded over your lips before colliding with them once again.

“I love you y/n, i don't know how its possible but i love you in every universe.” He said slowing his pace, the mood became more intimate as you both shared kisses he wanted to be in you for as long as possible. Your fingers intertwined as he lifted your arms above your head to worship your perfect breasts. He brought you to your climax again before he followed like the gentleman he is cumming inside of you painting your insides white. He stayed in you for a moment still kissing your lips, before picking you up and heading to your shower.

He removed himself from you and helped you clean yourself by wiping his juices from your cunt. He left you to wash your hair giving you some privacy. When you entered the bedroom, Stephen had changed into a pair of sweatpants he kept in your room. You got into bed next to him and cuddled up beside him as you always did.

The next morning arrived quickly with the sounds of knocking rattling your door.

“Y/n wake up, we were supposed to meet an hour ago! We’re going to miss our reservation.” Your fathers voice echoed into the room. You turned to Stephen who was still sleeping peacefully.

“Stephen shit we overslept, that's my dad you need to hide.” You shook him awake pushing him from the bed

“Y/n i'm coming in.” Tony’s voice became more clear as the door slowly opened. Stephen fell from the bed hitting the floor with a thump as he rolled under the bed.

“H-hey dad sorry I must have drank a lot.” You say nervously

“What was that noise? Is someone here.” Tony asked suspiciously

“Erm no, my shoes just fell off my bed.” You point to your heels thrown to the other side of the room.” Tony raised one brow scanning your room.

“Pretty heavy shoes.” He didn’t buy it

“I'm 26 you can't get mad if there was someone in my room. Which there isn’t.” You answer. Tony stood sternly against the doorframe, crossing his arms still not convinced before sighing heavily

“Okay just get ready Pepper is waiting in the car. Love ya.” He closed the door and you waited to hear his footsteps fade away before whispering

“I think he’s gone, you can come out now.” You tapped Stephen's foot.

“Not my first close call.” He says sitting up fixing his hair in the mirror. You laugh at his remark and gather his clothes

“I think you should go, I’ll be around later.” You kissed his brow but noticed he was looking for something.

“Have you seen my jacket? it has my sling ring in it” He asked, searching his discarded clothing.

“No, the last time I saw it, you where- oh shit.” You paused

“What?” He asked

“It's upstairs. You took it off halfway through the night.” You say placing your face into your palm.

“What's the issue there i can just go get it. Tony and Pepper are waiting for you in the car.” He said doing the buttons up on his shirt.

“Are you sure?” You say nervously.

“It’ll be fine c’mon.” He opened the door and looked down the hall before stepping out, he led you with his hand until you reached the elevator doors. “See i told you easy.” He said as the doors pinged behind you. He smiled and kissed you again, but didn’t stop when the doors opened.

“I knew there was someone in there!” Tony stood with Stephen's jacket in hand.

“It's not what it looks like.” You say, but it was exactly what it looked like.

“Strange, you better have a good explanation.” He threw the jacket into Stephen's arms who stood his ground, not even flinching.

“I don't need to explain anything, I love your daughter.” He said confidently, Tony turned to you waiting for an answer.

And now you had a lot of explaining to do.

00. how it all began

Chapter Index & Synopsis

warning: will contain spoilers from the jjk manga and the latest mcu shows (particularly wandavision and loki, as well as doctor strange in the multiverse of madness). once again, this will contain heavy spoilers—you have been warned. otherwise, enjoy you meeting and babying lil' yuuji! also, you'll be addressed as "wanda" and "wanda maximoff" for the first scene; you'll know why later. 😉

[EDIT] 6/17/2022, 6:11AM: Edited a few parts at the beginning after the events of Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness!

(word count: 4,588)

"... I have nothing left here."

That was what you'd told Stephen and Loki after you three finished restoring the Sacred Timeline and putting back He Who Remains back in his rightful place (which was overseeing the Time Variance Association).

Reversing the many multiversal rifts was no easy feat—the three of you had to traverse countless universes (that was not an exaggeration, I tell you) because of the infinite branches that had split off due to Sylvie's actions. There were also a number of multiversal incursions as a result of... well, what happened to you with the Darkhold along with everything else with Sylvie. To protect the Multiverse, you, the Master of the Mystic Arts, and the God of Mischief had gone through infinite dimensions in space and time, harnessing your still-growing powers and new magical knowledge in fighting demonic hordes, nightmarish monsters, and evil variants of yourselves, while at the same time evading the terrifying Kang the Conqueror(s) and other dangerous enemies.

Needless to say, you needed a vacation and some therapy. Strange had disclosed that although only a second had passed in the original timeline, your traveling adventures throughout the multiverse and its infinite dimensions were equal to millennia worth of time (how crazy was that). God, you felt as ancient as the Ancient One now. Being constantly in on-and-off, piled-up grief must have stressed you out too much.

"Where will you go, Wanda?" Stephen inquired, allowing the bright golden portal to the New York Sanctum to close. You sat on the huge staircase in the center of the main room, resting your elbows on your bent knees.

"... I've got a few ideas," you muttered. "To run away and isolate myself again, find peace, and live out the rest of my miserable life 'til the day I die. What I did to Westview... to you and that child, America... my happier self and her children... plus those from that other world's Illuminati..." You felt disgusted with yourself as you recalled your actions. You couldn't bear to look at your companions in the eye as you sighed. "It's unforgivable. And I am a monster now after everything, aren't I?"

The two male sorcerers frowned at your response. "Wanda..." Stephen trailed off.

"Hey." Loki sat beside you, patting your shoulder. He was very different from how Thor used to describe him to you in your time in the Avengers (probably because he wasn't the Loki that died from Thanos snapping his neck). This Loki was... nicer and more mature; far less of an evil subjugator than how you thought he would be. Still a killer, but... better? He was very paranoid when you and Strange first met him, given how his significant other female variant Sylvie had unleashed chaos, but now he seemed calmer. And he'd told you about how he'd lost (or would lose) his mother, too.

The two of you bonded over that.

"A suggestion, sorcerer to sorcerer and Nexus being to Nexus being? And, uh... ex-murderer to uh, ex-murderer? If that helps?" Loki offered. You nodded, somewhat chuckling at that last remark. The Asgardian god grinned. "Go to one of those universes that don't have the Time Variance Association in them. And live freely, being good, this time."

It was weird to hear that from the God of Mischief (out of all people), but you smiled. "I'll be good this time, I just... need to sort myself out, first." You turned to Dr. Strange, who had been watching you two closely. "I'm... sorry. Really, really sorry. For all the trouble and pain I've caused... especially to you, Stephen. I know it's not an excuse, but I just wanted them back. Every single one of them. Even just one of them. But I know now that I can't and probably never will."

The former neurosurgeon sighed, knowing who you were referring to. He sat down beside you and Loki. Anyone could tell that being the Sorcerer Supreme was exhausting, even if he just recently got promoted to that title. "You had your reasons, Wanda. I cannot blame you for your grief. I may not agree with some of the things you've done, but I can understand why you did it. And the Darkhold was corrupting you, too, so the blame isn't 100% on you. Loki and I can't defeat you, but we are glad that you joined our side in fixing this mess." He tilted his head. "I am curious, though, where do you plan on going after this?"

You waved your hand, allowing the magical crimson mist to show the men beside you images of galaxies, "Well, while we were traveling, I've found a few universes that actually don't have parallel versions of me or my family." You paused. "Actually, these universes don't have parallel versions of most people in this planet. At least, no variants of anyone we know, too. No Avengers. No Illuminati. No Doctor Strange or Loki. No Sorcerer Supreme. No Scarlet Witch. No Infinity Stones! Not even a Kang the Conqueror or a TVA!"

Loki and Stephen blinked owlishly at you. "... Well, that's new."

"One of those universes have man-eating giants, so I'm not going there," you muttered, scrolling through the galaxies like they were a shopping catalogue. "I checked another universe—apparently they have ninjas and aliens there. Still a no from me... there's also another universe with pirates, then another with grim reapers, then also a universe with more aliens, a dragon, and mystical orange balls that are like their Infinity Stones..."

The two sorcerers just stared at you as you rambled on.

"... Oh, there's also a universe with mages like us, but they have things called guilds and I'm not quite sure what to make of that. Even their continents are strange," you mumbled.

"You did your research." Loki leaned back, arms behind his head, impressed. "Well, are you going to go there, then? Since they've got magic?"

You scrunched your nose up, "Hmm, no. Not there. I actually had my eye on this one—it's nearly exactly like ours in terms of technology, history, geography. Strangely no Sokovia or Wakanda, though, but that's okay. And it's in the 21st century, too... but like, 2012 or something! So I don't need to adjust too much with their timeline, thankfully. It seems so perfectly normal compared to the other universes. A great place to settle down in, right?"

"Riiiiight... a place where it's 2012 all over again..." Loki drawled, raising a brow at you (the year was significant to him after all—ahem, New York, ahem—it seemed like a lifetime ago). Then, he shrugged. "Well, as long as you're finally happy and knowing what we've been through—what we've all been through—I'm not opposed to you getting your peace."

For once, you were optimistic in your life. Retirement sounded like an awesome idea!

"Uh," the Master of the Mystic Arts cleared his throat. "Just please promise me that you won't create another Westview Anomaly or another Multiverse of Madness."

You nodded, complying to his terms and conditions, "Okay. I promise."

"And if possible, you stay in that universe so we know where to find you." Stephen scratched his cheek. "Wanda, I know this is being demanding, but—"

Getting what he was implying, you stopped him with a raised hand and gave him a tired smile, "New Sorcerer Supreme duties. Yeah, I understand. I'm still a threat to your realm—"

"—No offense," he quickly supplied, almost guilty.

Shaking your head, you said, "None taken. Don't worry, I'll stay in that universe. You'll be able to contact me anytime if you need me... and hopefully only if very necessary. But I doubt another multiversal disturbance will come again in our time, not so soon after we fixed it."

"Only call in case of emergencies," Loki turned to Stephen. "Note that down."

The ex-doctor rolled his eyes, "Already did. Photographic memory, remember?"

The God of Mischief scoffed.

You grinned at their antics, "You know, I never thought I'd say this but I'll miss you two and our adventures together. It's been fun, fighting demons and nightmares and our eviler parallel selves while stabilizing the multiverse. I've learned a couple new tricks from you two."

"... Don't know if that's good or bad but you're welcome," Strange replied with the teeniest hint of a nostalgic smile.

"Enjoy your retirement, Wanda," Loki bid you goodbye. "I still hope that one day this magic trio shall reunite once more to destroy the forces of darkness."

"Do you need anything before you go?" Dr. Strange asked. You hummed, pondering.

"... Got any suggestions for a new name for my new life?"

Loki and Dr. Strange shared a look before Strange spoke, "Depends on where you're going and who you want to be."

ᗢ▪︎ᗢ

And that was how you ended up becoming Y/N L/N (first name courtesy of Loki and surname courtesy of Stephen), a retired sixty-to-seventy-something-year-old shopowner in the Tokyo of a planet called Earth-JJK. Why was it called like that (and why was it still 2012)? You had no idea, but you didn't mind. After all, you'd gone to alternate realms in the multiverse wherein the dinosaurs still existed or when everything was just like Star Wars. Now, all you cared about was this world was a wonderful place to retire in and that it was perfectly normal compared to your home universe.

Here, there were no superheroes, no supervillains, no Infinity Stones, no Darkhold, and no alternate versions of the people you loved. Sure, Nicki Minaj still existed here blasting Starships on the radio while Psy's Gangnam Style played on repeat in nightclubs, but you didn't exactly see the Avengers fighting off aliens in Manhattan, did you? No Ultron. No Thanos. No extinction of half the universe.

So here you were with a fresh start, promising to—as muuuuch as possible—no longer use your magic in this perfectly normal world. Perfectly normal.

Or so you thought.

Turns out, this place wasn't so normal after all.

How'd you know? Well, it was kind of obvious when you started seeing weird little beasties everywhere. Sometimes, they were very tiny ones that were perched on people's bodies. The smallest creature you'd seen was the size of a ping-pong ball (it looked like a stick hanging on someone's back; you nearly mistook it for a weird keychain).

At least you hadn't seen anything equivalent to Lovecraftian eldritch horror or a demonic creature in the Dark Dimension. Yeah, like those you used when you were under the Darkhold's influence. Seriously, after summoning the huge Shuma-Gorath—who was all icky, slimy tentacles, prehistoric atrociousness, and disgusting dark energy—and battling the forbidding Chthon, you don't think anything would faze you anymore.

Certainly not the mediocre little monsters of this world. Anyhow, if they didn't bother you, you wouldn't bother them.

They never did.

To be honest, the subordinate bugaboos actually seemed scared of you (why else would they cower behind their human hosts or run back into their dark corners and alleys if you looked them in the eye). Well, as long as they didn't pester you, you'd leave them be. You didn't want anything to do with them.

But as a precaution and a contingency plan, you set up an invisible mini-Hex around your shop—complete with protective runes and a spell that would make anyone who entered the shop feel safe and relaxed. Wonderful for the atmosphere of the bakery-café you were investing on.

Aside from that? Everything seemed nice. It wasn't all bad being an old woman! You chose to reside in the Japan of this current world because it had the highest proportion of elderly citizens. It was very modern, too (although, not yet at the level of Stark's technology or Wakanda's advancements). Still, you loved how cultural and traditional it also was—only the heavens know how many pictures you'd taken while walking around. Your children, in that brief time during the Hex, had expressed their wishes to visit Japan and Korea back when they were still alive (you guessed it was from all those anime and Korean dramas they told you about).

In a way, by being here, you were somehow honoring your sons in their deaths (and at soooome point, you might also have gotten pulled into watching anime, Asian dramas, and lots of Asian variety shows in your frequent bouts of self-isolation). What? You were depressed and bored! If you weren't out causing chaos, you did try to do normal human things. One of them was crying over Asian dramas, especially those which were family-centered and melodramatic.

Moreover, mastering the languages were no problem to you (you did it in one week through astral projecting—you cheater). The humble bakery-café you conjured up was great, too. It didn't look out of place, and you personally made pretty damn good food from your days being a housewife (even if it was during your false reality).

Thus, for the next couple of months, you dived into learning how to manage your business and making it flourish.

All was good.

"Waaaaaah!" the ten-year-old gasped, exiting the bullet train while tugging his grandfather. "So this is Tokyo, grandpa? It's huuuuge!"

"Yes, Yuuji," he chuckled at the wonder in his grandson's eyes. "This is Tokyo. Come on, let's have a look around. What do you want for your birthday lunch?"

"Hmm..."

It was a fairly calm day in your shop today. Even rush hour wasn't such a rush! By 6PM, you were behind the counter reading a book about serial killers when the bell to the entrance door rang.

Chime!

You perked up and stood up from you seat, automatically giving the customer a warm smile. "Hello, welcome to Charmed Coffee & Confectionaries! How may I help you today?"

"Ah, good afternoon. Well..." the elderly man began hesitantly, looking through the selection of colorful treats on the display.

"I'd like a birthday cake!" a small voice declared from below you. Blinking, you moved your gaze down, seeing a head of... bright pink hair? Well, that was something you didn't see everyday. You knelt down at the grinning little boy, smiling.

For a moment, you could see your late son Tommy with how energetic he was. Tommy was always so hyperactive and impulsive when he was alive—being gifted with the power of super speed only exacerbated it (or was it the other way around?). Breaking the sound barrier was as easy as breathing for him!

"Hey, little guy," you greeted. The kid pouted (how adorable).

"I'm not little," he mumbled. "I'm ten years old now!" He cutely held up all his fingers to you.

You giggled, "Okay then, big guy. I'm Y/N, the owner of this shop. What's your name?"

The boy glanced at his grandfather, who only nodded at him and encouraged him to go on. The child turned back to you with a huge smile and held his short arm towards you, "I'm Yuuji. Itadori Yuuji!"

Mirroring his smile, you shook his hand firmly, surprised to feel that his grip was quite strong for someone so small. "Nice to meet you, Yuuji-kun! What would you like for today?"

He ran towards the glass display, in awe at all the pastries shown. "There's so many I can't choose!"

"He usually likes anything with rice toppings more than dessert," his grandfather cut in. "But Yuuji pulled me into this shop for some reason. It's the first time I've seen him so excited to see candy and baked goods."

"But grandpa, all of them look so good! I've never seen sweet stuff that look so nice!" Yuuji excitedly pointed at a yellow cupcake. "Look, jii-chan! It looks like popcorn! That's so coooool!"

"Oh, it does, actually!" Itadori Wasuke commented, squinting at the cupcake and looking at you. "You are very talented at your craft, Y/N-san."

You only bowed graciously, "Thank you, sir. I take much pride in it!"

"Ooooh, grandpa! Grandpa! Can we get that superhero cake? Pleaaaase?" Yuuji begged with wide, puppy-dog eyes. His grandfather (and you on the side) fell victim to it.

Wasuke sighed, taking out his wallet, "How much is it?"

You told him the price for the specially-designed cake (which clearly made him pale), but then you added, "Though, since it's Yuuji-kun's birthday, I can give a 50% discount! I just need some proof and you're good to go."

The promo was a blatant lie, but the pink-haired boy was just so cute you couldn't resist. Also, there was also something about him—his aura—that stood out to you. You couldn't put your finger on it, but you had a gut feeling this kid was special. Glancing at the chocolate superhero cake you made, you briefly remembered your years as an Avenger. Those were the days.

"Really!?" Wasuke and Yuuji exclaimed at the same time.

"Hear that, jii-chan? There's a discount because I'm the birthday boy!" Yuuji jumped around the shop. "Yay! Yay! Yay!"

Wasuke handed you the payment, thankful that his grandson's spirit wasn't broken because of the pricey cake.

"Just give me a few minutes to pack it up for you, alright?" you said to the duo, returning behind the counter to process the order then place the cake in your nice, custom-made packaging. When you were done, you gave the fancy black-and-red box to Yuuji.

"There you go, birthday boy!" you smiled, hands on your hips. "Enjoy!"

"Thanks, Y/N-san!" Yuuji peeked into the box.

"Thank you so much," Wasuke added, a hand on his happy grandson's shoulder. "Now we have to go, Yuuji. We can't miss the last train back to Sendai. We've spent too much time sightseeing here in Tokyo."

You blinked, "Oh, you two have come all the way here from Miyagi Prefecture?"

"Heh," Wasuke chuckled, ruffling Yuuji's hair. "My grandson here has been pestering me for months that he wanted this trip to be his birthday gift."

"Oh my! This is also your first time in Tokyo, then?" you asked Yuuji, who nodded quickly in response.

"Yup!"

Getting an idea, a smile crept up your lips again, "Well, why don't I make it more memorable for you then? You said you liked rice toppings, right?"

The moment you said that, a certain meal popped up in the child's head. Easily reading his mind, you placed your hands behind your back and discreetly used your magic to conjure up a rice bowl of pork cutlets—the very same katsudon he was thinking about just now. You revealed your hands and the paper cup you were now holding (the two people in front of you nearly had their eyes bulge out in shock).

"Holy crap..." Wasuke muttered.

The show only made Yuuji geek out even more, "Whoaaaaaaa! Whoa, whoa, whoa! How'd you do that?"

You winked, "Magic!"

Okay, you may have made a promise to not use your magic that much anymore but gosh, this kid just made you want to squish his chubby, baby fat cheeks.

"Oooooooooh!" Yuuji gasped as his granddad took the box of cake from him so that he could take the rice bowl from you. "Can we come back here again when we go to Tokyo, grandpa?"

"Sure, kid. But we gotta go now."

"Aww..."

You patted the boy's head, "Don't be sad, big guy. It's your birthday! I promise I'll show you more magic tricks when you come back, 'mkay? And maybe next time you can stay here longer in the shop to eat! I do serve actual meals aside from baked goodies here, after all."

"... Okay!" Yuuji nodded, the fire in his eyes returning. He smelled the aromatic rice bowl in his hands. "I can't wait to eat this!"

You saw the grandfather-son pair out of the shop, waving at them, "Have a nice day! And a safe trip!"

The ten-year-old waving at you made you melt. Although there wasn't a day you didn't think about your deceased family, seeing that pink-haired little boy made the memories you carried a little better.

Again, all was good.

After that, Yuuji and his grandfather became very frequent customers of your bakery-café (well, as frequent as they could while being from another prefecture of Japan that was almost three hours away from Tokyo by train). Regardless, you looked forward to their bimonthly slash trimonthly visits to the shop.

With every visit, you made sure to show Yuuji a magic trick (the lil' guy really did think you were a magician before owning the shop—if only he knew) and that he would leave with a smile on his face.

For five years, you watched Yuuji grow from a babyfaced child to a muscular teenager who was even taller than you. You wondered if it would feel the same way if your sons also got the chance to grow up to that age. It's likely Billy and Tommy would have eventually towered over you, too.

God, did you miss your sons. Even after half a decade in this new universe, you don't think you got over the second time you had to let them go.

Today was another day at Charmed Coffee & Confectionaries. There were no customers in the bakery-café, so you spent your time cleaning around—sweeping the floors and wiping the tables. Right before closing time, the bell rung.

Chime!

You turned around, about to welcome the customer with your typical greeting, when you heard sniffling.

It was your favorite pink-haired boy.

"... Yuuji?" you asked, setting down the broom with a very concerned look on your aged face. "Hey, big guy, what's got you so blue? Why are you here so late?"

"I'm... s-sorry," he hiccupped, moving closer to you. "I... I d-didn't know... where e-else to go."

"Why? What's wrong, dearie? Are you hurt?" you almost interrogated, going into protective mom (grandma?) mode. Did someone lay a hand him? This kid looked like he could defend himself but if someone dared to hurt him, you wouldn't hesitate to magic them into a—

"Jii-chan... he... he..." Yuuji couldn't find the right words to say it. Gulping down the lump in his throat, he wiped the tears that were beginning to dribble down his cheeks.

"Hey, hey, shhhh," you assured the boy, allowing him to sit down on one of the chairs. You held his hand (he gripped it tighter; man, was this kid strong). "Take your time, Yuuji-kun. I'm here for you. Just try to breathe first, alright?"

The fourteen-almost-fifteen-year-old nodded fervently, "O-Okay."

"Follow after me, okay? Breathe in. Breathe out," you gently instructed. He followed, breathing deeply. "Inhale, exhale. There, there. You're doing great, hun."

Secretly using your magic, you made a glass of water appear out of nowhere and into your hands (Yuuji was too busy trying to blow his nose into a tissue). You handed the cup to him.

"T-Thanks, Y/N-san," he blubbered, quickly slugging down the ice cold liquid. How he didn't get brain freeze, you had no idea.

"Now, are you ready to share whatever's got you so glum?" you softly inquired. You could easily read his mind to know, but you had your boundaries when using that ability. Of course you wouldn't use it on a child who wasn't ready to share his personal feelings! "Do you want to talk about it, sweetie?"

"Y-Yeah," Yuuji sighed out, attempting to make himself calm down. "My grandpa... he's... t-the doctors say he's sick a-and that... and that it's terminal. They say... he's g-got only... maybe a couple m-months left... a-and I... I don't know—" He began sobbing again. Frowning, you moved your chair beside him and embraced the boy.

"Oh, dear." This was bad news.

It was in these moments that you wished you had your late husband's wisdom. Vision, although synthezoid and not exactly human, possessed such a great understanding of human emotions—perhaps far better than humans themselves. If you were chaos, he was order.

Funny how your robot soulmate was the most human person you ever knew. He had the mind of a philosopher, but also the heart of a saint.

Looking down at the crying boy in your arms, your heart clenched painfully. Now it was your time to impart some of the wisdom that Vision had handed down to you. And all that loss in your life must have prepared you for this exact moment.

"Yuuji," you started, stroking his soft hair. "Do you want me to talk or do you just want me to hold you?"

"H-Hold, please," he stuttered.

"Okay," you responded. The talk could come next time, then. "I'll hold you as long as you want."

You weren't sure how many minutes had passed—maybe an hour or so had passed—but when Yuuji stopped bawling, he finally told you what he was so sad about. "Do you think... I'll be okay alone?"

My, did your entire being just break at his words.

"Yuuji, sweetheart," you hugged him, wanting to give him all the warmth and support you could. "You're not alone."

"But... I don't have a dad... or a mom," he weakly protested. "And granddad's going to... to leave me, too. He... He's already in the hospital, so that means—"

You pulled back, your eyes mirroring his. What used to have so much innocence and happiness was filled with so much hopelessness and sorrow.

Just like how yours used to be right before the bombing of your civilian apartment in Sokovia.

At ten years old, you believed that it was all a bad dream and that like a sitcom, everything would have a happy ending. You were just a naïve little girl back then who didn't understand.

As much as you hated it, Yuuji, too, would have to mature too young so as to be able to deal with a parental loss as great as this.

This bundle of joy didn't deserve this pain.

"Yuuji, no. No. You're not alone. Don't you ever, ever think that," you chided as you shook your head, cupping his cheeks soothingly. "I know you may not feel that way right now, but you're not alone. Remember that. I'm sure you have friends back there in Sendai City. Your neighbors, too. You're a sweet boy, Yuuji-kun." You smiled at him, holding back your own tears. "And hey, I'm here for you. If you need anything, let me know and don't be shy to ask. I'm with you, alright, hun? Here, I'll even give you my personal phone number."

You rushed to the counter and scribbled down your contact details on a piece of old receipt before handing it to him.

"I'll come visit you and Wasuke-san soon, if you won't mind. Your grandpa isn't allergic to anything, is he? I'll bring flowers and baked goodies, too," you sincerely said to the seated young man, who was trying to not cry again at your kind gesture.

"T-Thank y-you," he sniveled.

You placed two firm hands on his shoulders. "Yuuji, listen to me. You're strong. So, so, very strong. I know you can get through this. But if it's getting too difficult, just know that I'm one call away. I want to help you in any way I can, you know that, right?"

Yuuji nodded, "Uh-huh."

"Good." You gave him another hug, patting his back. "Now what would you like to eat? Do you want a rice bowl?"

"But, I only have enough money for the train and—"

"It's on me, Yuuji-kun," you insisted. "I'm not taking no for an answer, dear. You're going to be full of food whether you like it or not the moment you leave my shop."

"... I'd..." Yuuji swallowed, drying his face. "... I'd like a gyudon... if it's not too much trouble..."

"Alright, coming right up!" The usual merry tone in your voice returned. "I'm giving you some marshmallow hot chocolate, too!"

Yuuji didn't tell you that from that point on, you had ultimately become the mother figure in his life. Who cares if you were like sixty or seventy-something? You were practically his mom now, always going out of her way to take care of him, making sure he was feeding himself and resting enough while also visiting his grandfather in Sugisawa Hospital. Hell, you were the first person he called when his grandfather passed away.

Little did he know that he wouldn't be the only person getting attached to you later on.

Especially not after he swallowed the finger of the King of Curses and changed his life forever.

(next chapter.)

Author's Note: Being someone who had to mature young to take care of her younger siblings when her parents weren't around, I already felt sorry for Yuuji in Episode 1. Man, his grandfather—his only caretaker—died when he was fifteen. Fifteen! Damn, I really want to give him a hug, the poor guy. And after what happened in the manga? I'm willing to take this boy on trip away from Shibuya! Even Japan! 🙇‍♀️😭

Anyways, hearts, comments, interactions, and constructive criticism are very much appreciated! If you wanna be tagged in the upcoming chapters, feel free to message me or comment. See you in the next chapter! 💗
