As universes collides
Pairings: Moon Knight system(Marc/Steven/Jake) x sorcerer!Reader x Khonshu
Word count: holee shit its 9k words people💀
Warnings: grammar, cussing, !SPOILERS FOR MoM!, possibly inaccurate depictions of DID(please tell me in the comments if i did so that i can edit this), possibly wrong Spanish words used(again please correct me in the comments), possibly ooc marvel characters, NOT BETA READ, lengthy fic(if i missed any please let me know!!)
Summary: Hey, just re-read your stories with Sorcerer!Reader with the Moon Bois and Khonshu, I absolutely love them! So I saw you were looking for ideas, and I remembered an idea I had a while back when MoM came out regarding this exact same pairing. If you’re willing to write it that is.
So regarding Wanda’s attack on Kamar-taj, the reader is called to defend the temple. The reader prepares to leave, and while trying to explain what’s happening to the boys, mentions the Scarlet Witch. Now, lets assume Khonshu knows a little about the Scarlet Witch and her chaos magic. So when the reader tells them that they're going to be defending the temple against her, he tells her not to go, in fear that they will die. The reader of course declines his request, and Marc/Steven/Jake get into an argument with the reader about going (“the world and the multiverse are in danger” blah blah blah “you shouldn’t have to risk your life” blah blah blah “there’s a child’s life on the line” blah blah blah- you get it). Long story short, the reader ends up going after the argument (or however you want it to end up). In the end, the reader (hopefully) survives, whether it surviving in the rubble, or traveling with Strange and America through the multiverse. And they reunite with Marc/Steven/Jake and Khonshu.
Let me know what you think about this and if you’re willing to write it. Hopefully it gave you some inspiration!
A/N: hi hello sorry for the long wait but the fic is finally here!! hope you guys love this and i hope this meets @jupitersmoon167 and everybody else's expectations😥 i used dear jupiter's idea and added my own twist to it! hope you guys love this just as much as i do🤧💞if things aren't exactly the same with the movie, im so sorry-i wrote this based on what i remembered💞GIFS USED NOT MINE
Something shifted.
A shiver ran through your spine, through your whole body.
You inhale sharply, brows furrowing at the uneasy feeling.
"You felt it too, dearest?"
Asked your human sized moon god beside you, who's wearing a white polo rolled up to his elbow and white slacks, his arm laying across your now tense shoulder. You feel him gently squeeze you, coaxing you to relax your tight muscles.
You are currently in the Moon boys' flat, watching a movie to relax since today was a time where you and all of the system have their day off on the same day, with all three of them co-existing with you and a human sized Khonshu.
They are currently in separate bodies, thanks to a spell that allowed them to be out of the headspace for a period of time, all wearing comfy home clothes, and are now looking at you too. Worry, curiosity, and confusion met your troubled gaze.
"We– we felt it too…Like, something.. something bad."
Steven, who's wearing his blue sweatshirt and gray pjs, voices out his and his alters' thoughts, Marc– who's wearing his blue t-shirt and pants– nods once and looks at Jake–who's wearing his white long sleeves and black pjs– who also nods, eyes full of thoughts as he keeps his firm yet gentle gaze on you, confirming Steven's statement.
You look up to Khonshu, who stood up from his seat on the couch and looked out the window.
"Should.. should we be worried–"
His question dies on his tongue as a portal opens in the middle of your room. You're quick to your feet and change into your sorcerer robes as you walk in front of the moon knight system and towards the opening portal, knowing who might be behind it.. and their purpose.
The trio stood up as they watched an Asian man walk through the sparkling circle. Jake quickly puts himself in front of his alters, ready to protect in case anyone thinks of hurting them.
"We need your help, Master," Wong utters your name breathlessly, "I'm sorry for interrupting your day off but, the Scarlet Witch, is planning to attack Kamar-taj and we are in dire need of every single sorcerer to protect it." The portal closes behind him.
Before you are able to utter a single word, Khonshu repeats,
"The Scarlet Witch?"
A thunderous boom echoing in the room, his tone all but gentle, and crosses the room to stand by your side, now looming down on you and Wong as he returns to his godly size, his clothes now shifted back to gauzed wrappings.
"The wielder of Chaos Magic?"
You tilt your head up to him, "You know them?" You glance at the Sorcerer Supreme, who was not a single bit intimidated by the god's presence (you figured he wouldn't be as this man might've seen worse than a tall, bird skull headed god so it wasn't a surprise to you), who nods to answer Khonshu's question.
The god's head moves to you as he looks at you, his thoughts undecipherable to you. His body language was rigid, which could either mean he doesn't trust the sorcerer in front of you or something else entirely different.
You look back to his hollowed sockets as you wait for his answer.
He bobs his head and kneels in one knee to be on your eye level, "I know little but I know enough. You are not going to face her, little sorcerer."
Ah, so it was something else entirely different.
Even though his tone suggests no room for argument, you huff at his demands in disbelief.
"Khonshu, the Sorcerer Supreme needs every single sorcerer to be present, which means that this Scarlet Witch is very dangerous and is a danger to our wo–"
"Which should give you more reason not to go! It is unsafe! They are dangerous, like you've said. Let the others handle it!"
You were about to argue back but a question pops up into your head, you turn to Wong, "Wait– why is this.. quote unquote Scarlet Witch attacking the Kamar-taj in the first place?"
You hear the god sigh beside you and mumble, "You do not need that information–"
"A child that has the power to traverse across universes is in the temple and the Scarlet Witch intends to take her power all to herself." Wong answers, his eyes pleading to you as he spoke.
Your eyebrows shot up in worry, "No–" a British voice spoke behind you in slight tremor.
The sorcerer supreme puts his hand on your shoulder.
"Please, pick your choice wisely. We'll be waiting for you."
You place your hand above his and nod, he gives you a tight smile as he removes his hand. He glances at the trio behind you and bids them goodbye with a bow of his head, as well as to the Egyptian moon god. He opens a portal and enters it, with an expecting glance of his shoulder the bright orange circle closes with a sharp hush.
A heavy silence falls in the flat.
A click of a tongue breaks it and Marc speaks, "Right, no. The bird is right. No way in hell you are going to K- Kamar- Kamar.. tash–"
You heard Khonshu huff at the name Marc had called him and rise from his kneeling position.
"Kamar-Taj." "Kamar-Taj" Steven and Khonshu correct him.
"Yes, that- thank you Steven, Khonshu-"
"Marc, a child's life is in danger!" You say his name in exasperation as you step one foot to the front, "Our universe and other universes are in danger! I can't just let this witch do–"
"Mi muñeca, por favor," Jake intervenes, his face covered by his hand as he pinches the bridge of his nose, "There are cientos de otros magos, lots of other sorcerers, around the world, ¿sî?" He drops his hand with a sigh.
You nod, "Yes! But–"
"Then you, our amado hechicero, don't need to be there." The mustached Latino reaches out to your hand and grasps it, squeezing it lightly as his eyes desperately look around your face and cups it with his other hand, heavy it lays on your cheek as he whispers, "Por favor, mi amor."
"Please, love. Think about it." Steven speaks up behind Jake, worry also etched on his face as he approaches the two of you. "If Khonshu, a god who doesn't think twice in committing violence, does not want you to fight then I'd also have to say no on this one. We can't risk losing you, darling.." His voice cracks a little, the thought of not being able to see you again is possibly plaguing his mind.
Tears well up on your eyes as you glance back and forth between Jake and Steven then to Marc, whose eyes are all but soft as he had already made up his decision.
You sigh and lean to Jake's hand that is on your cheek, you take it from your face and kiss his palm. You turn to your Stevie and offer your hand to him, to which he hastily holds, and gently pull him to you. He lets you. Jake removes his hand from your cheek to let Steven wrap his arms around you, he's muttering pleas in your ear as you plant a long kiss on his temple.
"So you're not going, sweetheart?"
You look up to your other boyfriend who is now looking a little relieved and hopeful, slowly approaching you three with a hopeful gaze. You glance up to your godly lover, who's been silently waiting as he watches you interact with your human boyfriends, leaning against a bookshelf with arms crossed.
You turn your gaze to Marc, who's looking at you expectantly, you give a last kiss on Steven's cheek before letting go of the Brit and approached the American. You smile tearfully as you hold his face with your palm, his stubble rough under your skin. Standing on your tip-toes, you kiss his cheek gingerly.
Jake, coming to an understanding of your whole motive, mutters hoarsely, "No.."
The other people in the room seemed to understand what you were trying to do and they all simultaneously spoke out their disagreement.
"No, baby– Come on!" "Absolutely not!" "Darling, please no."
You lower yourself back on the floor and look up to Marc, his brows are raised in the middle as he grasps your wrist as he tries to keep you in place.
"I'm sorry." You whisper, to him and to all of your lovers, a lone tear escaping your eyes as you caress his cheekbones with your thumbs.
Khonshu briskly walks towards you, planning to stop your plans but you were quick.
You close your eyes and let the flow of magic surrounding the flat disappear.
Marc's hands left your wrists and his stubbled jaw sliding away from your palms, you opened your eyes to see him stumbling back and away from you, the surge of magic when his alters returned back to their headspace possibly left him disoriented.
You feel a cool breeze go down past your shoulder. Looking over you see Khonshu, he's back to his ghost-like state, unable to interact with anything surrounding him.
He looks up at you, you feel his and Marc's(and possibly the rest of the system's) burning glare drilling into your skull.
You hold back a sob.
"This is for all of you, my loves. Please, I hope you understand."
You look back and forth to Marc and Khonshu, who's regaining his balance and the latter desperately trying to get a hold of you as he yells for you to stop, even though he knows with this form he won't be able to do so he still continues to reach out to your form.
You open a portal to the temple, with a sharp intake of breath you quickly enter it. Tears continue to fall down your cheek, a smile that doesn't hold any joy pulls your lips as you croak out, "I'll see you around, my boys. This isn't a goodbye."
You immediately let the portal close before any of them crossed it. The last thing you saw was Marc, with Jake and Steven possibly co-fronting with him, hastily running to the orange circle as Khonshu fell on his knees, seemingly defeated.
I promise.
~🌑~
Falling through different realities, with one of them being a world that is made up of paint, as you try to keep a powerful kid away from a power hungry witch in a star shaped portal was definitely not on your bucket list.
But here you are, thrown into a new world where everything is unfamiliar and very green.
"You two… saved me.." Chavez says between her breaths as you and Strange try to regain yours.
"I hope so.." The cloaked man groans as he stands up, while you cover your mouth and run to the nearest corner as you feel bile shot up to your throat, spilling the food you had earlier this morning.
You hear America sheepishly apologize, "It's a normal reaction..! Just.. let it all out.."
You give her a thumbs up, your guts continue to spill out.
You hear the teen ask if the other sorcerer have had experience with multiversal travelling, the man in question smugly answers that they have, making you scoff at his lie as you wipe your mouth with your sleeve.
You were about to tell Chavez the truth but Stephen's upset stomach beat you to it.
"You were saying, Strange?" You jest as you walk towards the duo, groaning at the after taste on your tongue after that spill fest.
"Shut up–"
You hum low in your throat as you look around you, tuning out Stephen's vomiting noises because if you won't you might vomit again so instead you survey your surroundings properly.
"What is this place? A utopic version of our universe??"
You let the question hang in the air as you walk over to the ledge, looking down at the busy streets with wonder and curiosity.
"It seems so.." America answers behind you.
~🌒~
"They go on red?" Asks the baffled former Sorcerer Supreme beside the teen.
"Amazing observation." You quip as you wearily look around, Jake and Marc's tendency to look for any signs of danger once in an unfamiliar setting rubbing off on you.
With yours and Stephen's sling ring lost, and with Chavez struggling to control her power, you were left with finding help in this universe's Stephen and you. Since apparently there is only one Chavez in the multiverse.
"Rule number one of multiversal travel. You don't know anything."
Stephen huffs at your comment and waits for the traffic light to turn green, and crosses the street, you follow alongside him.
"Right, so what's rule number two–"
You feel the hairs on your nape stand up, someone is watching you. You look around with furrowed brows, trying to pinpoint where and who it's coming from.
But Strange's tug on your elbow made you stop your hunt, "Where is she?" the sorcerer worriedly asks and you could only stare at him in confusion, blinking your eyes, you were about to answer his question with another question but then you realize who he's talking about.
You look around you and find that the girl you two are supposed to protect is missing beside you. Your breathing quickens as the worst possible scenarios run through your mind until a hand lays on your shoulder.
You turn to see the girl herself with a food on hand, you roughly exhale through your mouth as you rub your face with your hand.
"Rule number two, find food. Preferably pizza. Pizza balls!"
Pizza.. balls? What? You stare the rolled up pizza on the red bowl, huh, never thought that would be a thing. But then again, everyone in this world is wearing clothes in varying shades of black and white only so you really should have expected less (not like you don't like the color, it's just.. a little unsettling considering the colorful stores and surroundings, and it's new to you).
"How'd you pay for that?"
"It's free–"
You catch up beside the girl, "Free? There's free food here?"
"Well, food's free in most universes actually." She states with a shrug, "It's more of how you guys pay for it."
Your lips form an 'o' as you nod, taking in the interesting information, "That's cool."
"Yea–"
"Hey! You didn't pay for that!"
You three stop in your tracks and face the old man, who seems to be the seller of the pizza rolls.
"Crap.." Muttered the teen, "Maybe it's not free here.."
You gave the teen an exasperated look, while she returns it with an innocent one as she munches on the unpaid food.
"Relax, Mr. "Papap", she's just a kid-"
"Relax yourself there, Doctor Strange." Snides the old man with a slight chuckle as if mocking the sorcerer while he reaches for the cloak of Levitation. "Where'd you get this cape from anyway–"
"It's not a cape-"
"It's a cloak actually," you sigh and step up to the old man. "How about you let him go-"
"Huh, feels authentic–" Mr. "Papa"? Papap? comments as he examines the fabric.
"I'll pay for it, okay, just, let my friend go–" You were reaching for your wallet when you felt his hand grasp your robes tightly.
A rush of harsh wind suddenly sweeps the sidewalk you are on, forcing the man holding you to release your clothes to cover his face from the sudden gust.
You shiver at the breeze. It felt familiar…
"You two are thieves! You two took this from the Strange museum, didn't cha?"
"Strange Museum?"
"You two are takers!" The man snatches the mustard from his stand, "Why don't you take some of thi-"
Needless to say, that man is going to continuously beat himself up for the next three weeks.
"What happened to Rule number one, hm?" You tease the girl as you lightly bump your shoulder to hers, while resuming your trek to find this world's Dr. Strange.
America could only roll her eyes at your jest as she silently chuckled while Stephen chortled under his breath.
~🌓~
Lucky for you, you don't drink tea.
Unluckily for you, you were bribed with a cold chocolate drink.
Which led to you and your party of three encased in a strong glass– carbonated glass, was it? You weren't really listening.
You have opted on focusing on your breathing instead, enclosed spaces and you are not exactly besties.
America, seeming to have noticed your struggle, tries to get Stephen and Christine's attention. But you call out to her, stopping her actions, "It's– it's okay kid. Let them have their moment. I'll be fine."
Your voice wobbles as you swallow your saliva. Inhale, exhale.
Anything else seems to be muddled as you keep your focus on your breathing.
Inhale, exhale.
A hiss of the opening of your sealed doors interrupts your meditation short. You look around only to see… are those ultron bots?! Behind the sorcerer that poisoned you.
You scowl at him as you are pulled out of the glass cage. You struggled on their grip and ready to strike but Stephen held your arm, stopping you from whatever you were planning to do.
You look up to him, his brows low in worry as he asks, "Are you okay?"
Knowing you were on the verge of a panic attack just a minute ago, there should be no point in lying, but you are in an enemy's hold. So you nod your head, looking away from the concerned greyish-green eyes and let the bots tug you away from the blue-robbed sorcerer.
You cast a glance at America, "We'll be back, don't worry." You comfort her as much as you can.
The teen could do nothing but nod, pressing her palms flat on the glass as she watches you and Stephen being dragged away from the holding room, hope and dread flashing on her face.
~🌔~
Okay, don't mess with the silent guy then.
You blink away the images presented in your mind, cautiously bouncing your gaze from member to member of this.. Illuminati council.
Confusion draws your brows taut, "Okay– so if this is all about him then why the fuck am I here?"
"Etiquette, huh?"
You glare at Stephen, his low-blow of a jest referencing your comments to his sassy answers to the council earlier.
"This is not all about him," The bald man on the high-tech wheelchair roughly says your name, "as we've stated a while ago, if you were listening–"
Oh yeah, you totally weren't.
"The more you spend time in our universe, the more you endanger your and our home."
Your eyebrows twitch up in understanding.
"But, it is also because you, my dear, have also made a significant impact on this universe. Namely, communication to other worldly beings in this universe."
A new set of events is once again transferred and played in your mind, while you and Stephen watch it play out like a movie.
"Your version of yourself here had a beautiful union with the God of the Moon from the Egyptian Pantheon and his avatar. It paved the way to intergalactic partnerships, both in business as well as, yes, in romantic context."
You watch in awe as you see yourself, dressed in a sparkling, long sleeve, sweetheart neckline, white dress that dragged behind you walked down the aisle.
With your, no, other you's Moon boys, all in separate bodies wearing white suits that are accented with black in different styles for each of them, and your–their–god in his white suited glory, standing beside the trio in his human size, all watching you with happy tears(except the bird skull headed being, but hey, who knows, maybe the pigeon is crying buckets of unseeable tears.)
The scene calls your tears to resurface once more–could today be any more emotional!!– as you remember how you left your Marc, Steven, Jake and Khonshu in your own universe.
The scene shifts again, this time, different corporations, businesses and weddings play out like pages being flipped quickly. Moments of those events cramped in a single minute before it halts.
Another prestigious event that called for a union between realms. The species that is uniting with this universe's human council is unfamiliar to you. They were, well, otherworldly in nature with their varrying skin color palette and average size.
"All was going well, until–"
A loud bang! rang throughout the area, startling you and your sorcerer friend who's been quiet the whole time.
You look around amidst the running and panicking crowd, who was shot? Why did someone shoot? What-
Questions that ran through your mind disperse by your loud gasp. You see yourself being cradled in the arms of other you's spouse while their godly lover made an unprecedented red solar eclipse, commanding the winds to havoc the place as he roars in rage.
Your other self being cradled by the Moon Knight system, whose head is blown to bits.
"– a horrible accident happened."
Tears now freely stream down your cheeks as you kneel in place.
Seeing how your lovers both human and god, weep and mourn for you. How they grasped your coffin so tightly and snapped at the pallbearers trying to do their job, squeezes your heart. You never ever ever want to see them in pain. Especially if you're the one inflicting it.
A grating noise low on your throat goes past your trembling lips as you try to inhale air back into your system, your hand immediately flying up to not let another sound escape from your mouth.
You didn't know when you had stopped breathing but your lack of oxygen has made you a heaving mess on the gray tiled floor.
"Stop. Stop! Come on, this is hurting them!!"
The movie fades away like uncovering a treasure that was buried deep under the sand, dusting away the illusion to reveal the reality.
"Breathe for me," You hear a baritone voice say your name above you as you feel yourself being wrapped around one's arms and something on the top of your head.
You take deep breaths but every time you an ugly sob squeaks out your throat.
"It's okay. They're well in our universe. They're probably waiting for your return and you will return to them safely."
As the baritone voiced fella keeps on comforting you, another voice speaks up,
"This led to lots of series of events, mainly, our Khonshu, Marc, Steven and Jake, hunting down who shot our very own version of you." A feminine yet firm voice.
Breathe in, breathe out.
Another female voice speaks, this time British in accent,
"And, their hunt wasn't entirely… reasonable. They killed every single person who they suspected, even when they were not guilty. This forced us to take action and…"
Breathe in…
Swallowing, you slowly leave Stephen's comforting embrace, who you've just realized is the baritoned fella.
"And what?" You breathe out through your trembling lips as you peered at the Illuminati people through the blur of your tears.
"We have to imprison them to ensure the safety of the people."
You glance over to the far left, the man sitting there has answered your question in a hushed manner but still loud enough for you to hear.
"This–" Breathe in, breathe out. "This did not answer my question a while ago. Why am I here?!"
"Because they've escaped the moment you two arrived."
Your glare softens, before morphing into something horrified as you come into a realization.
"You've made me a bait." You whisper to the air, hastily standing up to your feet–
"It is for everyone's–"
Sound alarms blast through the speakers, the building shakes and vibrates as something, or someone breaks into the facility.
The weight of everything comes back to you, like a splash of a cold bucket of water.
Wanda. Scarlet Witch. The kid!!
You watch the live footage of the former avenger tearing through the army of robots that tried to hold her back from reaching the core of the facility, either dismantling them or blasting them into nothing.
The orders of Captain Carter fell on deaf ears as you kept your eyes on the static feed, somehow everything seemed to be silent and you could only hear your breathing, even as the facility alarm blairs around the room
Breathe in… Breathe out.
A call of your name and Stephen's made you turn your attention back to the present.
"When you escape this chamber, you must find America Chavez, and you, my dear." The professor gestures to you, "You must find your spouses, bring them to where you would deem them to be safe and… away from taking more innocent lives."
"For short, sealing them behind bars." You rasp out, bitterness leaves your dry lips as you blankly stare at the bald man in a wheelchair.
"If you'd like." Was his only statement, disregarding the Sorcerer Supreme protests and your perplexed glare as he wheels himself out of the room, leaving you, Stephen Strange and Mordo in the room.
You walk to the door, Ignoring Mordo's warnings. You press your palms flat on its surface.
You glance down at your cuffs. If only you were not bound you could blast this fucker open and be on your pursuit in finding your– well, your other self's but also technically your– lovers.
You groan in defeat as you knock your forehead on the barrier with a small thump. With a sigh you glance back to the two, who's in a heated argument. About what, you know nothing of.
Your eyes scan the room, maybe there's another way out.
A loud cry interrupts your thinking session–it was getting nowhere anyways–as Mordo jumps from the elevated slab with a sword in hand. You look down to Stephen, who only winked at your way–the sly bastard–before blocking the pissed sorcerer's attack with his cuffs.
Oh.
You let them spar, watching on the sidelines as you wait for the perfect time to interfere.
When Stephen gets knocked back to the wall, you take the chance and run towards Mordo, using your momentum you slam him to the wall and knock your head to his, effectively breaking his nose.
You hiss at the pain starting to form on your forehead. A swing from your opponent's sword nearly cuts your face off but you were quick to back away and block the other slash of Mordo's sword with your cuffs, copying Dr. Strange's previous moves just a few moments ago, successfully breaking you free from your restraints.
Mordo realizes this and he looks up at you wide eyed,
"Checkmate, bitch."
~🌕~
Running down the halls of this blandly painted place as you try to find your way back to America, you hear Stephen call out to you.
"What!?" You breathlessly questioned the sorcerer who's catching up behind you.
"Shouldn't you be finding your–well other you's–spouse..?" He stops your running as he holds your elbow.
The same draft that disturbed the sidewalk awhile ago permeates the empty hallway.
"I don't need to. I was only trying to find you a way out before I go." You said softly to the baritoned man.
"Go. Find America. I'll catch up to you– Don't worry about me." You cut off his unsaid concerned question.
"I'm in safe hands." You smiled up at Stephen and tapped the back of his hand that held you, "I'll be there before you know it."
He nods and gives a last scan around the hallway and you, before sprinting to find the teen.
The wind, seeming to be stronger now than before, pushes you to the hallway opposite to where Strange ran into. Abiding to its request you scurry down the hallway. You were suddenly pushed behind a pillar, expecting impact, you yelped and covered your face with both of your arms.
But the pain didn't come.
Instead, you were met with a soft embrace.
Startled at the stranger's boldness, you tried to push them away from you but a familiar, yet raspy, voice made you freeze.
"Hey, it's okay baby. It's okay, it's me, it's us."
You look up and see the face of your human lovers, only that.. it wasn't them. They looked… malnourished.. Familiar dark eyes who looked like they haven't had a moment to have a small nap glances back to you, his stubble now grown into a full beard peppered with white hairs as well as his curls, now long and is hastily pulled into a half ponytail. He's wearing a greyish white long sleeve and pants, right..they escaped from prison at your arrival.
"You.. you do know I'm not–"
"Yes, love, we know but–" Steven's soft and tearful gaze holds yours, his hands clambers up to your face as he took a sharp breath in, "–we," He swallows "–we couldn't waste the chance to see you again, darling–" His croaky voice is cut off by a sob and pulls you to a crushing hug.
You let him hug you like there's no tomorrow, wrapping your arms around his neck, you turn your head and plant a longing kiss on his temple.
The action made the man's knees give out, a heart-wrenching sob loud on your ears as you let him pull you down with him.
Curses and prayers in Spanish break the atmosphere, you let out a wet chuckle, missing your own moon boys as you hold their other version in your arms.
"Nuestro querido hechicero, te echamos mucho de menos." The Latino's trembling voice and vice grip on your robes had you in tears–again–now too.
You sniffle, you look around the room and notice that you all are in some kind of an abandoned chamber of the building. You didn't examine much more of it as you closed your eyes, letting you and them have their moment.
Another rush of wind blows your form, you open your eyes to see Khonshu, standing behind his avatar in his godly gauzed glory.
"Khon.."
"Beloved.."
The god falls to his knees and he places his hand on the side of your face.
"Why are you here? Did our other version fail to do their job? To protect you from all harm?"
The god growled as he asked, you can hear the wrappings on his other hand grow taut and splinter as he grips his staff tightly. The man gingerly pulls you away from him but keeps his hands on your sides, letting the rough hand of the god slide away from your face.
You chuckle, lacking any mirth, as you look between the two, "More like I succeeded in being an asshole." You scrunch your nose as you sniffle, rubbing it with the knuckle of your forefinger and glance down to your lap.
"I… may or may not have removed a spell–spells–that helps them to communicate with me properly. I uh.. removed it at the last second so that they'd be… stupefied of the situation.. and give me time to… leave them.."
You quietly explained to them, holding your gaze down on your fingers as you played with it, rubbing and squeezing each phalange to distract yourself from your current predicament.
His hands left your side as he places it on top of yours, stopping you, and engulfs it with his large, calloused ones.
"You've always liked to put yourself in front of danger, sweetheart."
Marc croakily comments, you can hear his smile through his worn out voice. You laugh a little, remembering your Marc's same use of phrase when you came home with cuts and bruises.
"Which sadly led us to this predicament.." Khonshu adds with a mournful sigh, moving to your side and also places his inhumanly large hands below yours, cupping it and squeezing gingerly.
That made you look up, Marc meets your thoughtful yet confused gaze.
"What do you mean?" You inquire, tilting your head slightly to the side in curiosity.
This salt and pepper look that time has given them, is making things inside you do flips but obviously now's not the time to ogle.
"You save me–us–from that blast, darling."
Oh….oh
We were supposed to be the target, and.. well.. I think you know the rest…"
Steven casts his puffy eyes down, possibly reminiscing the moment you–their you–died.
You reach out to his face, his beard tickling your palms as you thumb his cheekbones. "Hey–" Your sentence halts at the shaking of the building.
Snapping you back to what you're supposed to be doing, you glance back and forth between them as you swallow.
Marc– wait, that gaze–Jake nods and Khonshu releases your hand. They stand up from their position, "You must go now, beloved. I may have been able to stop time for a minute, any longer could have caused an incursion."
He did what– Incusrs–oh shit.
"Okay, amazing–the stopping time thing I mean–" you grunt as you let them pull you up from the floor, "–uncool to the incursion part." You sniffle again as you dust your knees off.
You hear the Latino's distinct chortle making you smirk, your bad humor never fails to make them laugh, even in a different universe, good to know. You smile at that. Another shake disturbs the moment.
You groan internally.
You look around the room as you try to find the exit, but Jake beats you to it. He grasps your hand, his black and white tactical suit–the very same your own Jake uses–engulfs his form as he pulls you and runs to the wall across the room.
You close your eyes bracing for impact, "You don't trust us, ¿mí amor?" Jake's modulated teasing coaxes you to open them and see that you are now on an entirely different side of the building, possibly its underside as it looks like you're in a tunnel.
"You can teleport?!"
"Why, can't your Moon Knight not?" The tactical gear shifts into a three-piece suit, the muffled posh accent asks, curiosity shining through his moonlit eyes.
"No!"
You hear him laugh as he pulls you, again, to run down the leaking tunnel. You hear multiple footsteps behind you, looking over your shoulder you see familiar faces.
"Wait– Steven!" You call out to the avatar and stopped in your tracks, "America!! Stephen!! Christine!!" You greeted them with a wide smile, relieved to find them alive. They greeted you back but in a horrified and hurried manner.
"Don't stop running! She's tailing right behind them!!"
True to Khonshu's words, you see the Scarlet Witch limping just behind them. You hear the familiar sound of clothes shifting before you are once again pulled to run, this time by Marc.
The trio catches up to you. You were about to cast a spell but you were hurled to Moon Knight's shoulder, a squeak leaves past your mouth at the sudden move. "Marc!!" You say as you lightly hit his caped back.
"Sorry sweetheart, can't risk it!!" He says as he runs past the trio.
"I hate you–" "No, you don't." "Yeah, no, I don't."
"I'm sorry to break your guys' moment but who is this?!" Christine asks between breaths while running beside Stephen–the sorcerer–behind Marc.
"The Moon Knight!!" America answers her before you could, excitedly if you may add.
"You've got yourself a multiversal fan, Marc."
"I'll sign their shirt later."
As Christine closes the last barrier, you all catch your breath. Marc finally puts you down, his mask unfurling from his face to show his worried gaze. He cups your cheek in both hands, you lay your on top of his.
A silent agreement was made.
"Please, be careful out there." You whisper as you lean to his weary hand.
"We will."
"Keep this look, I love it on you." You smirk and kiss their palm, noting that the other two are co-fronting as their suits are clashing together, making a beautiful mix of ceremonial, tactical, and prim and proper.
"Noted." They cheekily replied, Jake's signature smirk morphing with Marc's low voice and Steven's shy eyes.
You look over to the moon god, huffing you sprint to his form and hug his torso, missing your moon god. You feel him return the hug, and a warm surge of magic flows through you.
You escape his embrace as you look up to him with wide eyes.
"A small blessing to protect you from that witch's magic."
You gaped at him, your god wasn't able to do so because you didn't give him a chance. You hug him again, mumbling thank you's to his stomach.
"You know we could use that blessing as well." Stephen chides, you chuckle at your friend's comment.
"I'm afraid only those who worship me can receive my blessing, Stephen Strange."
The Egyptian god lets you go. You hear the sorcerer scoff in disbelief at the god's response.
You glance back and forth between your Moon Knight and his god.
"Go. Now, please."
They nodded and disappeared from your very eyes. You gulp and face the closed off end of the tunnel. Waiting for the inevitable.
But a white-suited fella with glowing eyes materializes in front of you and steals a kiss on your cheek with a hurried, "Goodbye love! Our autograph will have to be moved on a later date," and disappears once again.
Gods you don't deserve these men.
Your fawning over for your lovers is cut short as a shrill voice echoes across the tunnel.
Since when did this became a fucking horror movie?!
~🌖~
You landed gracefully on your feet as you hopped off from the door after Christine, standing back up, your eyes wandered around the interior of the place.
"This is the gap junction, the place between universes."
You hum at the red head's words, distracted at the colorful space and floating rubbles, before you lock your gaze at the shining blue book.
"The book of Vishanti." You mumble in adoration.
You approach the stand as Stephen walks up the stairs. You hold your breath as he grasps it in his hand, expecting a trap to drop itself on your party.
As Stephen dislodges the book from its holder, and no traps emerging, you sigh in relief, chuckling as you glance back to the teen and Christine, victory seems to be on your side now.
Something caught your eye behind the teen but you brushed it off.
Once your brain caught up to what you saw you did a double take, yet it was too late.
"AMERICA–"
You really shouldn't have jinxed it.
America shrieks as she grasps her hair, being pulled back by the Scarlet Witch.
You jump in front of Christine as you shoot a fiery beam at the rogue magic wielder, Stephen doing the same.
You see her struggle from both of you's attacks. Good.
But she pushed through. Damnit.
You grunt as you feel yourself being physically pushed back by the intensity of the clash between eldritch and chaos magic.
The red chaos magic pulses and pulses until it reaches you, breaking yours and Stephen's spell and flinging you both, You groan as your back hits the floor.
A sizzle of something burning made you snap your head up to its source.
The book of Vishanti.. it's.. gone.. Eaten by the red fiery flames.
Your only hope in defeating the Scarlet Witch. Gone. Reduced to ashes.
You look up at Strange as you sit up, despair in both your eyes as it meets. A gasp tears from your throat as you feel something burning wrap itself around your form, red mist lifting you up from the ground, alongside Christine and Stephen.
A guttural growl vibrates low on your throat as you try to escape her grasp, even if you knew it was futile.
But, you fell on your butt as you wiggled out of the witch's grasp. You flinched at the contact but quickly recovered as you stood up.
Panting, you look at her and your arms in shock. Shimmering white lines appeared in places where the chaos magic touched you.
Khonshu's Blessing!
You prayed to your god as you thanked him before blasting Maximoff off America.
Your face twisting to something sinister, she was able to block your attack but it distracted her enough to drop your colleague and friends. Summoning a whip on your other hand, you flick it and let it wrap around America's form and tug her to you.
"It's okay kid! I got you!"
The witch is faster though. She was able to have her hold again on the teen and it has now become a human tug of war.
The former Sorcerer Supreme casts a stronger spell.
It was her turn to be pushed back by the forces of your magic.
Yours and Stephen's eldritch magic now winning against her chaos magic. Your yellow beams become brighter as you walk forward, summoning more ropes in on your other hand to grasp America and pull her to you. The red mist becomes shorter as it fights against yours, and weaker around America's form as you tug her to safety.
You hear Wanda scream on top of her lungs and her chaos magic explodes and wrecks the place. Pushing you off your balance and effectively severs your focus as you're hurled back to a pillar.
Your head hits the concrete slab, black covers your vision.
~🌗~
Cold. Very fucking cold is the first thing that you noticed as you came back to consciousness.
You woke up with a gasp. A pulsing pain on your skull made you moan silently in pain.
The cold hard thing on your face slowly registers in your brain that you are laying face down and front on the ground.
Blinking and shaking your head, you take your time in pushing yourself up from the freezing concrete, you hope Khonshu's blessing has protected your brain from concussion.
"Dreamwalking, you hypocrite!!"
You took a sharp intake of breath through your clenched teeth in hearing Maximoff's voice. Right, shit. You've thought it has ended when you passed out.
Grunting, you stumble up to your feet and face the ongoing fight. Scarlet Witch fighting… who or what the hell is that?!
Nevermind that, if that…thing is fighting against her then it or they might be on your side.
You see America being held up by the chaos magic on top of a slab– "America!!"
Making various hand signs, you cast a spell to break her free from its grasp. Magical circular runes appear before you, you pull your arm back and watch as the orange sparkling circles separate in bands and the red mist disperse from the teen's wrists and ankles.
You twist your wrists and push your hands to the front, softening her landing on the slab as it becomes foam in nature momentarily by your spell.
Dropping your stance, you run to her side and place your hand on her forehead, scanning her form up and down you ask worriedly, "Are you okay? Are you hurt? Please tell me you're okay–"
"I'm fine." America pants as she looks down on the slab–now very soft and squishy to touch–as you pull her up and off it.
The sharp wailing from the ongoing fight in front of the–you just noticed–Darkhold Castle made both of your heads turn.
What looks to be dementors circle themselves around Maximoff. Wong standing on the front edge of the place–since when did he get here?– and a zombie looking sorcerer holding her hand out to where the Scarlet Witch is struggling in keeping the dementor things away from her.
You swear you've seen that zombie somewhere.
You two watch as the zombie ally uses the dementors as a cage and brings them over to Wong. He casts a spell to keep them locked in, he's struggling to keep it there.
"Stay here." You ordered the teen and squeezed her bicep lightly before running to assist Wong.
You do the same hand gestures Wong used and strengthened the magic capsule.
"Nice of you to join the party."
Comments Wong with a grunt, you chuckle tightly as you try to keep your hand steady.
"You know I wouldn't miss it for the world–"
The witch is still able to reach her arm out of the magical cage you and Wong have put her in.
Wong notices this and yells to the zombie ally "She's still breaking free!!"
"Hold her!!" Yelled the zombie back.
"Strange!!"
The zombie is.. Strange?? Well that explains why he looks oddly fucking familiar–
"Take America's power–"
"No!" You intervene, looking back and forth between the Asian man and the corpse in aggravation. "There must be an–"
The spell you and Wong are using is breaking–
"There's no other way!!" The sorcerer supreme pants, despair painted all over his face as he glances at you then back to Stephen.
You hiss as your muscles strains in keeping the spell up.
"No. This is the only way." You hear Stephen rasp.
The witch breaks free and her force once again flings you across the room, this time you were ready to use a spell to stop yourself from hitting the wall and lunged yourself back to her.
Not expecting the attack, she wasn't able to counter and you were able to tackle her to the ground.
She groans as her back hits the ground, you roll to the side and prepare to cast another spell.
Before you could, she hits you with her red mist square on the torso and pushed you back to the stairs. Whatever spell she used didn't affect you, you could see the confusion in her eyes as she looked down on her glowing hands then back to you.
"Thank you Khonshu–"
She flings another spell, what you thought towards you and so you raised your forearm and formed a shield, but hearing a hoarse pained yelp beside you, you were wrong.
You drop your shield and see your zombie friend's arm being toasted to ash.
As you are about to use your magic on Maximoff, America beats you to it as her fist meets the other female's face, punching her square on the jaw.
Blue tinted magic erupted from that punch and multiple star-shaped portals formed behind the witch.
"YES!! AMERICA FUCKING KICK HER ASS!!"
You couldn't help but cheer for the teen. You hear a gritty chuckle behind you, you look over to your half-fried zombie friend.
"I have a lot of questions.."
"Save them for later." He replies as he tries to sit up. You walk over to his side and help him with that.
"Might forget it." You whine, pulling him up to the stairs.
"Then don't forget it."
"Even in death you're still sassy as fuck." You grumble as you scrunch your nose. "You smell!" You lightly push his rotting arm with your palm.
"I don't exactly think dead people have hygiene." He rolled his misty sunken eyes and turned his attention back to the fight.
He sees the teen about to approach the raging witch, "Don't!"
The teen stops and turns to him and you.
"Not yet."
America nods, she looks up at you and you give her a small unsure yet reassuring smile.
You watch as Wanda drops to her knees, as her other version approaches her and gingerly cups her face. Her other version says something to her that you couldn't hear.
America pushes the portal away from the Scarlet Witch and closes it. Leaving her kneeling on the snow-covered ground.
She suddenly rose from her feet and brought herself on the slab.
The castle, unstable from the fight, shakes violently. You stable yourself on the hexagonal–back to its original hardened state–slab.
America runs to you and Stephen, "What now?" She asks, panting as she looks between you and the animated corpse beside you.
"Get out of here." Stephen rasps out an order, "All three of you–"
"What about you?!" You ask, clueless of Stephen's predicament.
"We'll find him, don't worry. Come on!" The teen takes your hand and brings you to the front, you look back to Stephen then to Wanda.
"Hey." You called out to the girl in maroon, feeling as if you had to have something to say to her even though you have nothing in mind.
The teen stops in her tracks, Wanda looks at you with glossy eyes, you rack your brain whatever you wanted to say to her and settle on, "Do the right thing, please."
She casts her eyes down and nods. America tugs you again and you two cross the blue portal, Wong already waiting for you on the other side.
The last thing you saw was Wanda raising her glowing hands before the portal closed.
Exhaling deeply you turn to the teen and the sorcerer supreme beside you.
America latches her arms around your neck, making you stumble back a few steps from the sudden hug attack. You chuckle and return the embrace, rocking her side to side.
"Thank you."
"I didn't even do much, kid." You tell her as she pulls herself off, "Stephen is the one that you should thank." You give her a small smile, tucking her hair behind her ear.
"You still saved me and it means a lot to me."
She gratefully grins at you, eyes shimmering in childish joy before hugging you again.
You bite your lip as you try not to cry, this kid is so sweet.
You glance at Wong, he only watches you both with a tired smile on his face. You wanted to offer your hand and bring him in for a group hug but the man isn't exactly a hugger.
You look around the place, you're back in Kamar-taj. The temple is crumbling and surrounded by its debris.
"Well this needs one hell of a repair."
Your comment earns a groan and small giggle.
~🌘~
After taking Stephen back to your universe–only then you knew that he was dreamwalking–repair work and burying the brave sorcerers took place. You helped around a bit while anxiously thinking of your boys back in London.
Possibly sensing your anxiety, the former sorcerer supreme approaches you after you move a debris out of the way.
"Here." He takes your wrist and places a sling ring on your open palm.
"Wha–" You look up to him in confusion. It's good to see his not rotting face.
"Go home. We'll take it from here." Stephen smiles down at you and pats your bicep. He was about to walk away but you stopped him with a hug, expressing your gratitude through actions. Unlike the current sorcerer supreme, this man might act like he is not a hugger when in reality it's obviously the exact opposite.
"Okay, no need for that." He groans above you, you only chuckle, you feel him return the hug eventually and you grin widely.
"You're a softie, admit it."
"Shut up and just go." He gently pries you off him, you let him push you away, unwrapping your arms from his torso.
"Good to see you alive and fresh, Stephen."
"Don't make me take back the sling ring."
~🌑~
Taking a deep breath you open a portal right outside the door of the boys' flat. You nibble your lower lip. You feel your heart hammer inside your chest, the portal closing behind you after you enter it.
"okay, okay, okay–" You whisper, bracing yourself as you raise your fist, ready to rap on the door but it swung open before your knuckle met the wood.
You lock eyes with red, puffy ones. Seeing their glossy eyes, you remember the Earth-838's moon knight system and their pain.
You gulp, unsure of who's fronting at the moment you greet them with a soft and timid, "Hey.." as you drop your hand beside you and pinch the skin of your middle finger with the nail of your thumb.
"I'm so–" You were pulled inside the room before you could continue and arms wrapped around you. Tears gather in your eyes as the feeling of safety and home hits your senses. Sniffling you wrap your own around his and grip the fabric of his blue sweater tightly, burying your face on his shoulder.
"I'm sorry." You croak out to his shirt, inhaling through your mouth, you sob and repeat the phrase over and over again. You hate seeing them hurt and being the one who inflicted it, but you had a job to do. One that would not only save the world but most importantly them.
"I had to–" "We know sweetheart, we know, we're sorry too."
Gasping for air, you feel yourself being pulled down by gravity, your knees having given out on you as the fatigue from running, casting spells, running again and crying crashes on you like a boulder was dropped on you. He lets you bring them down with you on the floor.
"Dearest," Khonshu calls your name, soft and hurt. You look up from your human boyfriend's shoulder and see your godly sitting on his calves, trying to grasp your hand.
As it phased through, you pull yourself away slightly from the moon knight system's embrace and cast the spells you had used earlier.
Marc's fellow alters materialize in the room with you and Khonshu can once again interact with the mortal plane.
You were immediately tackled with hugs, both human and god,
"Please, don't do that again." Steven mutters on your neck.
"I won't, I promise I won't." In a trembling whisper, you swore with your life.
"God–why do you like to put yourself in front of danger." Marc grumbles on your chest. You chuckle, remembering the many times he had said the same thing, as well as 838Marc.
"I myself have no clue, Spector." The bird god murmurs above as he places his beak on top of your head.
"I don't think he's talking to you, bird." Steven deadpans as he nuzzles on your neck.
Jake chuckles, his mustache tickling the other side of your neck as he had made himself home there, and remarks, "I don't think our hombre will ever realize that."
The rest of you laugh aside from the god above you as he grumbles cusses in an ancient language.
