"Are you... Gamora?"
Steve asked a rather stupid question. It wasn't that he was being foolish; Russell had said that people and things differed slightly across parallel universes.
So, Gamora changing from a green-skinned alien into an Earthling was perfectly reasonable and logical.
"No, she isn't Gamora. She doesn't know any of you," Russell kindly explained.
"..."
Steve's face darkened as he fell silent. Perhaps it was an illusion, but Strange seemed to roll his eyes.
"You said you're the Sorcerer Supreme from another parallel universe. Then why would you invade and destroy?"
Strange frowned deeply. "I firmly believe that anyone who could become the Sorcerer Supreme would never do something like this!"
Sigh...
Russell let out a deep sigh, tilted his head back in wistful recollection, and slowly said, "Having witnessed too many universal truths, I discovered... Forget it. It's a long story, so I won't tell it."
Strange: (furious)
Compared to Strange's mood of what the fuck, Tony saw things more clearly. Russell's "long story" was bullshit. He clearly either couldn't come up with a reason or couldn't be bothered to make one up.
Also, could some kindhearted person please help him? He was trapped inside the Mark85 Nanotech Armor and couldn't get out.
Not only could he not get out, but his voice couldn't get through either. Being unable to spout nonsense was driving him mad.
"Give me a reason. I don't believe the Sorcerer Supreme would do something like this."
"Don't be stupid. What would knowing the reason change? Could you turn this around?"
Black flames ignited across Russell's face as he transformed back into a visage of dark elements. Using electromagnetic force to control Friday, he fired Energy Cannons from both hands.
Steve raised his shield to defend himself, only for a blast to strike
