Just a Few Shouts

Stepping into their apartment, the group barely had time to breathe before—

SLAM!

The door flung open, nearly flying off its hinges.

Standing in the doorway, cape billowing like a dramatic theater kid, was Doctor Strange.

And he looked beyond pissed.

Doctor Strange is Done With Your Bullsh*t

"HARLEY!" Strange roared.

Alex winced. "Oh crap—"

Before he could react, Strange marched in, eyes glowing, hands already sparking with magic.

"Do you have ANY idea what you've done?!"

Alex blinked. "Uhh…brought home a souvenir?"

Strange's eye twitched. "YOU OPENED A PORTAL TO ANOTHER REALITY. DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY ALARMS THAT SET OFF?"

Alex scratched his head. "Uh. A couple?"

"A couple?!" Strange threw up his hands. "You tore a hole in reality and yanked in a—"

He stopped.

And finally noticed Slayer.

Doctor Strange vs. Slayer – The Stare-Off

The room fell dead silent.

Strange and Slayer stood there, locked in a tense stare-off.

The Sorcerer Supreme, protector of reality.The Doom Slayer, destroyer of literal Hell.

Strange narrowed his eyes.

Slayer did nothing.

Just stood there.

Menacingly.

"Who…" Strange's voice was quieter now. "Who is that?"

Deadpool clapped his hands together. "Oh, him? That's Doom Slayer! Real chill guy! Very few words! Kinda has a murder kink, but we don't judge!"

Strange looked horrified. "You…brought…DOOM SLAYER…HERE?!"

Alex rubbed the back of his head. "I mean, technically I didn't 'bring' him, he kinda just…stepped through the portal?"

Strange exhaled sharply. "Right. That's it."

He snapped his fingers

A portal appeared behind Slayer.

Slayer turned, glancing at it.

Then he turned back to Strange.

And stepped forward.

The Final Words of Slayer

The air grew heavy.

Strange braced himself.

But all Slayer did…

…was lean slightly down, until he was face-to-face with Strange.

Then, in that deep, chilling voice, he simply said:

"Don't do that again."

And with that, he stepped through the portal.

Gone.

The room fell silent.

Until—

Deadpool sighed dramatically. "Welp. There goes our cool factor."

Strange turned back to Alex. "And YOU—"

Alex threw up his hands. "Okay, yeah, I get it, don't mess with portals, lesson learned."

Strange glared. "You BETTER have. Because next time? I won't be so nice."

Alex blinked. "THIS was you being NICE?!"

Strange exhaled sharply, opened another portal, and—

WHOOSH!

Gone.

Aftermath – Deadpool's Commentary

Another long silence.

Then—

Deadpool patted Alex's shoulder. "Welp, buddy, that's two super-powered badasses who now wanna murder you! You're speedrunning pissing off the universe!"

Butcher sighed. "I need a f**ing drink.*"

Hughie nodded. "Same."

Frenchie lit a cigarette. "At least we are home, no?"

Alex groaned, flopping onto the couch. "God, I need sleep."

Deadpool clapped his hands. "OR—pizza!"

Kimiko just facepalmed.
