Kamar Taj,
Doctor Strange had read the hell out of the book, 'Deep Magic by Leonidas and Old Man'. It had given him a good boost in learning the magic.
He closed the book and went back to the library.
"Oh, hey, Wong. I need some more books. Something complex this time." He said and went to the cabinets. Wong was his bro now so it was alright.
He went to the forbidden section and took down a book. He had felt like the book was calling him.
"All the answers to your questions. All the power you can even desire. Come and take it." The voice hissed.
Even though he Doctor Strange felt alert, he still went ahead and opened it. He expected something to happen but nothing did. Instead, he heard a loud curse from behind a bookshelf.
"Goddammit Yao, I lost. Here," He handed Ancient a stack of hundred dollar bills.
Ancient One smiled and happily took her earned money, "See, I know Strange more than you. His thirst for knowledge will take him to an early grave someday."
They had made a bet whether Strange would open the book or not. Alexander lost. The two came out in the open to a confused Doctor Strange. Doctor Strange recognized Alexander and quickly asked.
"What is the President of the United States doing here?" He sounded shocked and confused at the same time.
"Oh, you even read my book and don't recognize me," Alexander said with a sad face.
Doctor Strange's brows furrowed, "I can't remember there being a book written by you."
"No, there is one." Ancient One chimed in.
"You just finished reading it." She added.
Now the dots were connected in his head. Why was Ancient One being so frank with the President, why was the President there? This can only mean that he is also a Sorcerer.
"You are the Primordial One?" He asked.
"Yep, but I'm rarely called by that name. They usually call me Grandpa Universe." Alexander said.
"So the president is a Sorcerer Supreme. No wonder you can do so many common-sense defying things." Doctor Strange stated.
"Actually, he was already quite strong even before he started learning sorcery." Ancient One told him.
Doctor Strange was shocked by that news. This means that the president also had some other secret identity.
"Ah, let's leave those things. What are you doing here with that book?" Alexander inquired.
The woman nearly lost her balance. She was a normal small-time manager at Walmart and her husband was a construction worker. Their salary was not very bad, but not too good either. Worse, they didn't have any health insurance. As they cost a lot. There were 4 people in her family and it would have cost them 20,000$.
"H-How much will it cost sir?" She asked.
"Forty thousand, mam." He replied.
Her already weak legs now lost balance and she fell on the bench.
The doctor quickly helped her, "Mam, it's alright if you can't pay. We will do it for free. But you will have to sign that you will buy the Nevaeh Industries Health Insurance. It only costs 100 dollars per person. And only 300 to a family of four."
"What? But... How?" She asked. Now she was very skeptical. On one side it was 20,000 and here they were giving it for just 3600.
"Yes, with our bleeding-edge technology we have reduced the cost of medical treatments. But we will talk about this later. For now, let's treat little Joe, first." He said and left for the operation room.
Then suddenly they all returned back to their bodies. Alexander looked at Doctor Strange. "You saw that? That is what Grandpa Universe stands for. That is what Nevaeh Industries means. Its sole purpose is to help people. Something that you wouldn't have."
The Ancient One nodded profusely, "Indeed, Alex has saved so many lives that I can't even count that far."
She was talking about the whole universe.
*DONG DONG*
The loud bell sounds started to echo everywhere. Alexander looked at the Ancient One and nodded. "He has probably attacked somewhere."
They quickly went to the map room and found where "It's New York Sanctum."
"Ah, it's always New York, isn't it. Sometimes I doubt it might be a cursed city." Alexander commented.
"Strange, follow me. I'll give you some fighting experience." He said and took out his anywhere door.
Strange looked at Ancient One for permission.
"Go, he is the best teacher you can ask for."
