"Dormammu... I've come to bargain."

Dr.Strange repeated these words once more. How many time has he died already? It seemed like a few hundred already. But this time, Dormammu seemed... agitated. He wasnt instantly killed yet, which was suspicious. Suddenly the giant godly being appeared to be afraid. Of what, however?

[Impossible... How is the ??????? here...? The laws should be unbreakable, even for him]

Dr. Strange felt a splitting headache after hearing that phrase. It felt like the entire universe was punishing him for noticing it. Dormammu also felt it, as referenced by his wince.

[Fool. Your mortal mind is not built for such of this level. It is the restrictions posed by The-Above-All to limit his influence here. I must inform them. You shall get what you wish, mortal for if he is truly here...not even The-One-Above-All can save us...Now even our multiverse shall run s#aR&!t with blood.] With those words, Dormammu took off, leaving Dr.Strange to suffer in silence with his headache.

As Dr.Strange recovered, he realised even the time stone seemed... off... as if it was afraid of the thing Dormammu mentioned. But thats impossible, the time stone shouldn't be afraid, its not alive... Is it?

As he returned back, he saw those that had accepted Dormammus powers being sucked into the portal but ignored it. Wong immedietly moved to ask but Dr.Strange just finished cleaning up the Hong Kong sanctum and immedietly returned to Kamar-Taj, moving to the library to see if he could find out about what could scare Dormammu like that and possibly whatever The-One-Above-All was.

In another place, known as New York, the Avengers were all gathered inside the towers basement facing a cell with a unconcious red haired man with a red pendant, one dead red haired man, featuring identicle looks the the unconcious one, and another unconcious man with a shotgun. Both the dead and the one with the shotgun bore marks of intensive fighting with what appeared to be claws and bites and slashes from swords. The two medic personnel avoided the unconcious redhead and focused on the shotgun one. Suddenly, the redhead showed signs of waking up, causing the medics to rush out the room and Iron-man to rush in.

In Wakanda, the black panther and some of the royal guards watched as a group of scientists surveyed a large cube with strange markings on it and a half steel unconcious man lying next to it, the man showed signs of heavy fighting and the cube being splattered with blood. Then, the cube showed signs movement.
