{Two Years Later}

Everything seemed calm. The city was calm. The world was unmoved and collected. The universe stood as it should.

Or that is people were believed to think.

Stephen Strange walks along the corridor of the Sanctum Sanctorum with his partner Wong. The sorcerer has been the guardian of the Eye of Agamatto for about two years, which holds the Time Stone. He's swore to protect it, knowing otherworldly entities like Dormammu can use it to harm the universe.

Him and Wong walk down the stairs. The two are hungry and on the way to eat.

Doctor Strange: Seriously, you don't have any money?

Wong: Attachment to the material is detachment from the spiritual.

Doctor Strange: I'll tell the guys at the deli. Maybe they'll make you a metaphysical ham on rye.

Wong: Oh. Wait, wait, wait. I think I have 200.

Doctor Strange: Dollars?

He takes out the bills.

Wong: Rupees.

Doctor Strange: Which is?

Wong: Uh, buck and a half.

Stephen sighs. He's going to have to cover it.

Doctor Strange: What do you want?

Wong: I wouldn't say no to a tuna melt.

Suddenly, the bifrost activates behind them, and something crashes through the roof and into the staircase. They look back in shock, and Wong uses his Eldritch Magic and raises his fists. Stephen calls over his Cloak of Levitation and puts it on. The two look into the hole, and see Bruce Banner within the rubble.

Bruce pants.

Bruce: Thanos is coming. He's coming.

Stephen looks at Wong in confusion, then back at Banner.

Doctor Strange: Who?

{Meanwhile}

AJ walks along the streets of Hell's Kitchen with Judith. They hold hands and converse as they pass by the shops and restaurants.

Judith: We are not getting a dog.

AJ: Come on, I saw this nice chocolate Labrador online that someone's selling. They're in Queens.

The two college graduates have been living together for the last four months, and since their apartment allowed pets, AJ wanted to have one.

Judith: You know how busy we are, AJ. The dog is gonna need some love, and we're not gonna be there all the time with him.

AJ nods, understanding her point.

A few months after taking up the Spider-Man mantle full time, AJ found out that the mysterious Spider-Woman, or Ghost-Spider, was his best friend Judith, and Vice-versa. She had gotten bit from a genetically engineered spider like AJ when she was kidnapped by the Red Goblin. He remembers saving her that day, and didn't know that day would change her life forever.
