Thor, Bella and Lavinia arrived at the Sanctum. Thor knocked on the door. Next thing they know, they're inside.
In front of them was Peyton. Peyton smiled at them. "Uh...Hi", Thor said. Peyton just smiled.
Bella and Lavinia looked at each other. They looked back at Peyton.
"I've never seen Gods before. Sorry if I go a little fangirl", Peyton said. "I'm Peyton Jiao. I'm the apprentice of Doctor Steven Strange".
"H-Hello Peyton", Lavinia said.
Peyton looked at Bella. "We've been expecting you. I hear you can see the future and events from the past. Is that true?" Peyton asked.
Bella touched her hand. She saw how Peyton lost her parents. "Yes", Bella said.
"Fascinating", Peyton said.
"I'm sorry for your loss".
"Thank you. Mrs. Romanoff. The doctor will see you all now".
"D-Doctor?" Lavinia asked. She looked at Bella and Thor. "Who's dying?"
"Someone's dying?" Thor asked.
"Oh my gosh! Uncle Thor, are you dying?" Bella asked.
"What? No, I am not-"
"Why didn't you tell us you were dying?" Lavinia asked.
"How long do you have? You didn't bother to tell us, your own nieces that you're dying?" Bella asked.
"Girls, I'm not dying", Thor said.
Peyton chuckled. "Doctor Strange used to be a surgeon. Now, he is a Master of the Mystic Arts. However, he did teach me a couple of doctor stuff. I'd say, your Uncle looks quite healthy. Don't worry, he's not dying".
"Thank you, Miss Jiao", Bella said.
"You're very welcome. Let's visit the doctor, shall we?"
They teleported into another room. Peyton stood next to Doctor Strange. Lavinia and Bella stood on one side of a table. Thor stood on the other side.
"So Earth has wizards now?" Thor asked.
"They aren't wizards. They're Masters of the Mystic Arts, which are way cooler than wizards", Bella said.
"Thank you", Strange and Peyton said.
Bella looked at the metal pieces on the table. Thor accidentally knocked them down with another metal piece.
Peyton tried to suppress a smile as he tried to put them back together. Strange, Bella and Lavinia watched, unamused.
"Uncle, just stop", Bella said. She looked at Strange and Peyton. "I said I was coming. You didn't have to kidnap my father to get me here".
"Oh, that's not why we kidnapped him",Strange said.
"And kidnapping sounds a little dramatic, don't you think?" Peyton asked.
"Alright, wizards. Who are you? Why should we care?" Thor asked.
"Your niece already established this. We're not wizards", Peyton said.
"My name is Doctor Steven Strange, this is my apprentice, Peyton Jiao and we have some questions for you. Take a seat", Strange said.
The five of them were seated in chairs. "Tea?" Strange asked. Thor, Bella and Lavinia had a cup of tea in their hands.
"I don't drink tea", Thor said.
"Neither do I", Bella said. She looked at Lavinia. "Drink it. It's good for the baby". Lavinia nodded her head slowly. She drank the tea.
"What do you guys drink?" Peyton asked.
"Not tea", Thor says.
"Coffee is nice", Bella said.
Thor had a cup of beer in his hand and Bella had a cup of coffee. "Thank you", Bella said. Peyton gave her a smile.
"We keep a watch list of individuals and beings from other realms that may be a threat to this world. Your adoptive brother, Loki is one of those beings", Peyton explained.
"Makes sense. He's killed, stabbed, and mind controlled a lot of people",Bella said.
"Then why bring him here?" Strange asked.
"We're looking for my grandfather",Lavinia said.
"So if I were to tell you where Odin was, all parties concerned would promptly return to Asgard?" Strange asked.
"Promptly".
"Great. Then we'll help you".
"Were you not going to help us if we didn't keep that promise?" Bella asked.
"That and we wouldn't give you your father back", Peyton said. "He'd continue falling forever".
"Falling?" Lavinia asked.
"Is he okay?" Bella asked.
"He's fine. We didn't lock him in a porta potty like Strange suggested".
(Who saw the video? If you haven't, it's up here ^^^)
"Uh...this- it's good tea", Lavinia said, not sure of what to say. Peyton chuckled.
They teleported next to a bookshelf. "So how does it work? You just never die or do you turn into dust after a few thousand years?" Peyton asked Thor.
"Peyton, stop fangirling", Strange said as he looked through a book. Peyton nodded in understanding.
"Right, sorry", Peyton said.
"No, no. It's fine", Thor said.
"How old are you, Peyton?" Lavinia asked.
"25", Peyton said.
Strange closed his book. They teleported to another bookshelf. The beer from Thor's cup spilled. Lavinia chuckles.
They teleported again. A bookshelf fell down. The beer spilled again. Lavinia laughed.
"Will you stop doing that?" Thor asked.
"Can I...I need just one strand of your hair", Strange said.
"Let me explain something. My hair is not to be meddled with", Thor said. But Strange plucked a strand from Thor's head.
They teleported. Strange, Peyton, Bella and Lavinia stood at the bottom of the stairs. Thor rolled down the stairs. Bella laughed.
Thor stood up. "We could have just walked", he said.
"Where's the fun in that?" Peyton asked as she helped him up.
Strange made a portal to Norway. "He's waiting for you", He said.
"Oh, don't forget your umbrella",Peyton said.
"Oh, yes", Thor said. He called out to Mjolnir. Peyton flinched at every crashing sound. "Sorry".
The umbrella flew into Thor's hand. "Strange Doctor, may we have our father back as well?" Lavinia asked.
"Oh, yeah. Right", Strange said.
Loki fell out of a portal and landed on the ground. "I have been falling for 30 minutes!" He shouted. Bella and Lavinia helped him off the ground.
Bella has a vision of the future. Everyone looked at her in concern. "Mr. Doctor, your apprentice needs to come with us", Bella said.
"I don't. I'm good with staying here",Peyton said.
"Take her. I don't care", Strange said.
"Strange!" Peyton said.
"Peyton, just go. Let's be honest. You need friends".
"I have...whatever the word is. You and Wong are my...what's the word again?"
"Friends. And I swear I heard you call me Papa one time".
"One time. One. And I was drunk at that time. Why are you bringing that up?"
"Go with your new friends, don't get into trouble and be safe", Strange said before pushing her through the portal.
"Nice one", Bella laughed. Lavinia pushed her through the portal. Bella screamed as she fell through the portal.
"Keep Peyton safe. I promised her mom she wouldn't be harmed",Strange said.
"We will", Lavinia said before she walked through the portal with Loki. Thor followed them.
