章節 255: Stephen Strange (2)

"Hello, Doctor Strange. This is John Jameson."

Strange shuddered when he heard that name. He thought the other end of the call would be a manager of some kind. He didn't expect that it was the ultimate boss himself. John was way too famous and was in a way too higher position. He didn't understand how he had warranted the notice of such a being.

"Mr. Jameson I made this call because I was denied the access to medical pods. Can I know why?" Stephen asked politely as he didn't know the actual reason.

"Umbrella denied the access because to let to show you how little you know Stephen." John said.

"What do you mean?" Strange asked. But as he said that there was a weird symbol appeared in his room. The symbol glowed and out came a mad with a golden cape and golden helmet.

Stephen and Christine who was also present nearby was surprised. She had seen how teleportation worked of the Ring and it was never like that.

"This is what I mean Dr. Strange when I meant you know very little."

"You are John Jameson?" Stephen asked. To his question, John removed his helmet. What surprised John was that Christine actually had a Pokemon. But sadly it wasn't a Pokemon related to healing. It was a Sobble. John smiled as he saw this, signifying that Pokemons have started its normal integration of the society.

"Never knew the famous Mr. Jameson has a thing for theatrics." Stephen said without holding back his words. He didn't know why he was not given access to the med pods but it really made him annoyed. John just smiled at the comment and said

"What do you think of the last movie Dr. Strange?. I will presume you have watched it." John asked.

"You mean Justice League Dark? It was a good movie. But what has that movie got to do with me?" Stephen asked as he was more confused now.

"Do you think magic exists?" John asked.

"Magic? I only believe what I see Mr. Jameson. Until I see with my own eyes I don't believe in anything. For now I believe magic is just higher form of technology and nothing else." Dr. Strange replied. Christine who was listening to this also sighed. It was hard for someone like Strange to accept magic. He had seen Pokemon and people think they have powers because of their genes and physiology. They never connected them to any form of magic.

"Do you think the movies I make are just for fun?" John asked.

"I don't know. Nor do I care. I just want to know why I am not being given access to med pods?" Strange insisted on it. John sighed when he heard that answer. His arrogance had always been a problem. Tony too had arrogance but it has toned down a quite now after know the other versions of him are more powerful than him, especially after know that there is Cosmic Iron Man. That has been his drive and he had been working diligently.

Strange hasn't gone through that as of yet. In the original world he became a little humble after the Ancient One showed him a way. Now he needed to show Strange how little he knew.

John didn't reply his question and directly hit him on his chest. Christine and Stephen couldn't even react to John's move. As he did that Stephen's astral form came out of his body. Stephen's astral form floated for a few seconds before John pulled him back to his body.

"Still think magic is unreal Strange?" John asked.

"What did you do?" both of them asked. Even though Christine couldn't see the astral form she was scared that John had hit him. She was almost ready to call he police.

"What did you just do? What was that?" Strange asked as he really didn't understand what had happened.

"I pushed your astral form out of your physical form." John replied. "It's fine Christine. I didn't hurt Stephen. You don't have to worry. He is alright." John said to Christine.

"Can you explain me what was that?" Stephen asked again. As he said that there was a portal opening by John's side. Out came the Ancient One.

"That's your patient now. I can't handle him." John said first to her before the two people could even ask what was going on. Today was a huge shock for both Stephen and Christine.

At first it was John appearing weirdly in front of them and then saying that there was magic. He proceeded to push the astral form out of Strange. And now there was another portal opening which looked different than John's. And a bald woman appearing in ancient looking clothes.

"What the hell is going on?" Stephen asked now as there was another woman in his room whom he have never seen before.
