Verena: MOM, I'M GOING TO THE MARKET DO YOU WANT ANYTHING? 

Emrys: UM, YEAH GET SOME MILK AND STRAWBERRY POPTARTS PLEASE!

Verena: ALRIGHT! I'm OFF, bye dad (kisses him on the cheek)

Bucky: bye honey, be careful 

Verena: you don't have to worry about a thing (she giggles and leaves) 

She goes to the supermarket for some things. at this point, she is looking for the strawberry pop tarts and she sees there's only one on the shelf when another man tries to take it at the same time as her.

Verena: oh, excuse me

Stephen: Oh pardon me, did you need these?

Verena: yeah, I needed them for my mother, but it's ok I'm sorry to bother you 

Stephen: That reminds me, my ex-wife loved them, especially raw (giggles)

Verena: that's weird because so does my mother! (giggles)

Stephen: excuse me, you look awfully familiar, and a lot like me (says confused)

Verena: yes, so do you (she stares at him for a few minutes) oh my god...

Stephen: what's wrong? 

Verena: you don't know me to do you? (says in a bit of an angry way but hidden)

Stephen: no

Verena: but I know you, oh, and I know you well alright 

Stephen: i beg your pardon?

Verena: (she quotes) "Well you know Emrys sometimes people have to focus on themselves"

Stephen: I'm sorry 

Verena: "THIS WHOLE TIME THAT I've been married to you I have been insecure because every man in my life is in love with you and I JUST CAN TAKE IT ANYMORE!"

Stephen: excuse me what are you saying? how do you know that! 

Verena: Stephen vincent is strange is it? 

Stephen: yes, and you are?

Verena: Verena Octavia Odinson strange also known as your daughter 

Stephen: oh my god, VERENA! YOU'VE GROWN SO MUCH! (tries to hug her) 

Verena: (pushes him away) oh no we're not quite there yet dr strange 

Stephen: what?

Verena: do you really expect me to jump you and hug you after 13 years? you've got the wrong idea sir (leaves) 

Stephen: Verena PLEASE! (chances after her) let's talk about this! 

Verena: you have something to say to me? perhaps could you be, oh what do you call it UPSET!?

Stephen: (looks down and doesn't say anything) 

Verena: that's what I thought, goodbye sir  

Supermarket man: bye miss Verena! it's on the house don't worry bout it

Verena: thank you Miguel (leaves)

she goes to her house very shocked and Stephen tries to follow her without her finding out. She is very shook and angry but is not planning on telling her mom anything yet the first thing she needs to do right now is talking to bucky.

Verena: here are your things mom, sorry I couldn't get any pop tarts some idiot took them before me 

Emrys: oh it's alright honey thank you 

Verena: (whispers to bucky) dad can I talk to you for a minute 

Bucky: sure (they go in her room) 

Verena: dad! 

Bucky: what is it, doll? are you okay

Verena: I saw Stephen today 

Bucky: Who's Stephen 

Verena: STEPHEN VINCENT STRANGE, DAD! DR STRANGE! My biological father...

Bucky: what?....
