To Kamar-Taj

The night passed quickly. The morning sun shone on Leo's face and woke him up.

Leo sat up in bed, stretched, and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Leo, who returned to his room, picked up the phone and called Tony after thinking about it.

The call was quickly connected, and Tony's familiar voice came through.

"Are you coming over? I'll go upstairs after I'm done. Hey, Dum-E, that part wasn't there. You're so stupid. If you make another mistake, I'll donate you to MIT."

Listening to Tony's words, Leo rubbed his forehead helplessly. Tony was bullying Dum-E again. Leo felt that Dum-E was very cute, although he didn't have a voice system and couldn't speak.

"Tony, I'm not going over today. Also, just to let you know, I'm going to disappear for a while."

Leo said into the phone.

"What? You're going to disappear again? Where are you going this time? That one-eyed man has been looking for you for months. He should have something to ask you. You are going to disappear again without a sound?"

When Tony heard Leo's words, his voice was a little louder. He didn't know why Leo has to disappear again after just appearing for one night. He then remembered Nick Fury. Since knowing that his father was one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D., Tony's view of S.H.I.E.L.D. has changed a lot. Now, he has little bit of empathy for them.

"Don't worry about S.H.I.E.L.D. for now. It shouldn't be a big deal for them to find. But you, Tony, be careful when you're out and don't get killed by someone."

Leo remembered the villain of Iron Man 2, Ivan Vanke, a talented scientist who was on par with Tony and who could pull out a reactor with a bunch of scrap metal. He wondered when Tony would be careless and while out be attacked by him.

"Kill me? I'm the famous Iron Man, and it's normal for bad guys to circle around me. Also, my latest Mark armor now the size of a suitcase and can be quickly put on in an emergency. I wanted to show it to you today, but now I don't have the chance. But you can rest assured about my safety!"

Although Tony didn't think much of it, he still took Leo's words to heart. He knew that Leo had the ability to predict the future, and that he must be targeted by someone in the future. Leo was reminding him.

He would make sure that the suitcase never left his side when he went out in the future. That way, he wouldn't have to worry.

If Happy knew that he would have to carry a suitcase wherever he went in the future, or even carry it when he went to the bathroom, who knew how he would feel after Leo's reminder.

"In that case, you should pay more attention to yourself. Also, help me look after Louis. If something big happens, call me. Don't disturb me when there's nothing else. I'm going out to practice magic."

Leo felt that there was nothing to hide from Tony. In any case, he would come into contact with Dr. Strange in the future.

"What? Practice magic? You might as well be saying that you're going to an alien planet, makes it sound more believable! Okay, I'll have someone look after your girlfriend. Whether you're going to an alien planet or doing something shady, you can go in peace! Bye bye…"

Tony's face was full of disbelief when he heard Leo's words, as if he was saying, are you kidding me? But Tony didn't ask any more questions and directly agreed to his request, and directly hung up the phone without giving him a chance to speak again.

"F*ck, you can go in peace yourself."

Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Leo couldn't vent his anger and could only hang up.

"I'll deal with you when I get back."

For some reason, Tony always made people want to kill him.

After calming down, Leo checked Kamar-Taj's photo on the computer, turned it off, and disappeared from his room.

Not long after Leo disappeared, there was a sudden knock on his door. After waiting for a few minutes without a response, the door lock automatically opened and two men in black walked in. Checking the room, they didn't find Leo. Then, they took out their phones and reported to their superior. Then, they walked out without leaving any traces behind.

"Kamar-Taj? What is that place? Leo, what are you going to do in there?"

Far away at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, Fury closed his eyes and pondered. (Kamar-Taj's location is from Leo's computer inquiry.)

…

When Leo appeared again, he had already arrived at Kamar-Taj, located in the Kathmandu, Nepal.. This place was very old, and the house looked ancient. No one would have thought that the most powerful Sorcerer Supreme on Earth was residing here.

Leo stopped every now and then on the street, but fortunately; he wasn't robbed like Dr. Strange. Finally, just as his legs were about to break, a man in a black robe and a hood found him.

"Mr. Li, I am Kaecilius, a servant of the Ancient One. The Ancient One has been waiting for a long time. Please follow me!"

The hooded man faced Leo and took off his hood to reveal a very sunny face, but when he heard his surname, Leo couldn't help but look at him. Was this the villain in Doctor Strange? He didn't look like a villain. No matter how you looked at him, he was a sunny middle-aged man.

"Master Kaecilius, please lead the way."

However, Leo didn't say anything. He simply nodded at Kaecilius with a smile, indicating that he should lead the way.

…

He didn't know how many turns he had taken on the journey. Leo didn't know where he was anymore. Kaecilius, who was leading the way, finally stopped in front of a very ordinary door. He opened the door and invited Leo in first.

"Thank you!"

Leo thanked him politely and then strode in without refusing.

Kaecilius looked back and when didn't see anyone, he closed the door.

After Leo entered, everything suddenly cleared up. Although the building inside also had a sense of primeval, it exuded a mysterious aura, which made people lose themselves in it.

"Mr. Li, this way please. The Ancient One has prepared tea inside."

Kaecilius politely interrupted Leo's thoughts and led him to a hall.

Leo followed him into the hall and found the Sorcerer Supreme, Ancient One, whom he had met yesterday, sitting in the middle of the hall. A pot of tea had already been brewed on the table in front of him.

Ancient One looked up at Leo without any surprise on his face, as if he already knew that Leo would come. He nodded at Leo and invited him to sit opposite him.

"Mr. Leo, you really did come."

Ancient One personally filled Leo's cup with tea and said.

"Ancient One, I apologize for my sudden appearance. I am here to learn from you how to control the Cosmic Source. Please teach me."

Leo was very respectful right now. He was really afraid that he would be thrown out by Ancient One if he didn't speak properly.

"There's still time. Have some tea first and we'll talk later."

Ancient One raised his teacup and gestured at Leo.

Leo also hurriedly raised the teacup in front of his with both hands and slowly drank it.

Leo didn't have the habit of drinking tea before, nor did he know how to taste tea. He didn't know what kind of tea was good. But after drinking the tea from Ancient One, he finally knew that this was good tea.

When the tea entered his mouth, he felt a burst of fragrance, as if his soul had been cleansed. After drinking a cup of tea, he felt refreshed, as if his body had lightened a little.

"Mr. Leo, let's talk about your powers and abilities!"
