"THANK YOU FOR everything, Christine," Stephen told his friend, releasing her from a hug, "I really...appreciate it."
They stood in the shadowy parlour of the Sanctum Sanctorum, light shone through the gaps of its antique, circular skylight and they could hear the faint sound of cars as they stood near the door.
"It's alright," Christine ran a hand down his shoulder, smiling wistfully, "I know you and...Scarlett," she still doubted that that was her real name. "Have something."
"We've been taking it slow," Stephen admitted, "It's fairly casual at the moment."
"So, you're not planning for it to become...anything more?" Christine looked up at him, a sly smile on her face.
"I don't know," Stephen felt a blush creep up his cheeks, "We've shared these moments that make me wonder sometimes. She's an extraordinary young woman, but...I worry about her. Especially after what happened in the news."
Stephen was frantic about Wanda, he was extremely worried about what she was doing but then the first thing he heard was she pulled a stunt like that on the news.
It was definitely a contingency but he hadn't expected an incident to happen so soon when the last thing he had heard was she had learned to play 'Baba Black Sheep' on the guitar.
"Scarlett?" Christine's brows furrowed, "I don't recall seeing her name in the headlines, Scarlett...what was her last name again?"
Stephen sighed, he looked away to chuckle a little. He had forgotten how quick-witted Christine could be sometimes, especially when it came to dealing with him.
He gripped her shoulders before telling her, "Wanda Maximoff. That's her real name. I couldn't tell you..."
"Of course you couldn't," Christine laughed, the silence that followed it began to make it awkward quickly.
"Can I walk you to your car?" Stephen suggested, grabbing the door handle, "I've got to get going."
Christine nodded, she didn't know what she expecting, the life of Stephen Strange would always be a busy one. It was something any woman would have to learn to adapt to, which is why someone with no duty to save the world - like herself, couldn't understand.
