Doctor Strange x Reader Imagines

Starstruck

A/N: For this one and all of the previous chapters including Benedict pretend he doesn't have a wife... Even though she's beautiful and I'm sure she's nice.

-------------------------------------------

Ever since you got a job at Bob's Diner, you were saving up for a trip to New York. You worked hard and saved every penny, and it finally paid off. As Bob handed you your paycheck, you grinned and hugged it; and you guarded it like a baby during the walk to your car.

When the day of the trip finally arrived, you rushed to get ready, did a last check-up to make sure you weren't forgetting anything, and hugged your roommate quickly.

"Good luck in the Big Apple! Buy me stuff! And don't fall in love with strangers!" She shouted just before you closed the door.

"Thanks! And I can't promise anything!"

Unfortunately, luck didn't arrive... At least not at first.

As you left the doors of the airport, you looked around in awe. It was just as you had imagined, and maybe even better. You rushed to catch a cab, but none stopped for you. Next to you was a woman in a tight dress, and three cabs stopped for her. (The harsh reality) You raised your arms as if saying Are you kidding me?! and decided to walk to your hotel. You were very tired, but you prevailed. With the help of some passers-by, you were able to find your hotel and, as soon as you got to your room, you took a shower. Then, you hit the buffet and chose to walk around town.

With the assistance of your map, it wasn't too hard to stay on track but, after enough time, you started to feel like you were walking in circles. Then, to your surprise, you stumbled upon what seemed to be a movie set. The area was closed with yellow tape and security guards surrounded every corner. Cameras were set up everywhere and you heard the director (Scott Derrickson) shout at the cast. You even saw Tilda Swinton and then... Benedict Cumberbatch! You were definitely left starstruck!

But then you remembered the fact that you were lost. You went up to a man that was in front of the yellow tape to ask for directions, before realizing it was Scott Derrickson.

"Are you sure we're missing an extra? I must have miscounted..."

You tapped his shoulder, "Excuse me-"

"Oh, good! You're here! Just stand over there next to the lady in pink (*wink*), act surprised and scared, and wait for Benedict to do his part and you know the rest." (Obviously that wasn't in the movie but... Imagine it was a deleted scene or something)

He didn't give you time to say anything as he pushed you under the yellow tape and where he signaled you to stand. Seeing as you didn't have any other choice, you acted as if the world was ending and pretty much mimicked what all of the other extras were doing. Then, out of nowhere, you saw a giant fake piece of concrete fall from a crane before Benedict picked you up bridal style and moved you out of the way. After he set you down on the ground, you noticed a camera move in next to you and zoom in.

"Are you okay?" Ben asked.

You didn't know what was what you were supposed to answer so you just said, "Yeah, I'm okay..."

It seemed to work as Benedict nodded and continued his scene. You sighed out of relief and got up. You brushed off your clothes and the cameraman asked, "Are you sure you're an extra? I've never seen you before..."

"Well, the director didn't seem to care, so... I guess I am."

He shrugged and moved on to his next filming position. Now that the director thought you were an extra, you weren't going to give it up. That was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
