an Incredibly obvious lie. But they didn't seem to mind, they were doing their best to 'banter' with Stephen.

"I helped Scott steal-" COUGH. "-find Ant-Man suit so. . . I am basically a superhero too"

[— KURT @EYESlNTHESKY]

"And I do not think people take him seriously." They said flatly, almost glaring at Stephen as they do. Though, when they realised he'd sat down with them, their glare softened slightly.

"Do you know that he is why the Avengers won? . . . And me too." The second part was --

grabbing a chair , stephen places it beside their desk . removing his cloak and wrapping it around himself like a scarf , he takes a seat , one leg crossing over the other .

“ does he ? that’s good to know .”

he lifts his cup back up again , not drinking from it , just giving —

[— KURT @EYESlNTHESKY]

Imagine if the Avengers hired X-Con as their security providers.

Imagine.

I m a g i n e.

(Please hire them, they all want to meet more Avengers).

[— KURT @EYESlNTHESKY]

and then take a sip from it.

Yeah, Strange definitely is their friend now.

"So did you help save world then? You know - purple guy, apparently made people dissappear? Not to brag, but I once survived a zombie apocalypse. . . In my dream"

[— KURT @EYESlNTHESKY]

"I think that will make his day - he talks very highly about the Avengers." They shrug, typing a few things onto his keyboard.

What? Coding doesn't stop for anyone, not even for Stephen.

"It is my favourite. Very very sweet, but tasty -" When the drink appears, they smile, --

[𝓼𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞, 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐢𝐭? (H) @MYSTICARTlST]

“ of course . tell him i say hello , by the way , next time you happen to see him .”

he silently took a sip from his tea , raising a curious brow at the question .

“ very specific . is that your usual ?”

he set his tea down on the closest desk , waving his hand . —

[— KURT @EYESlNTHESKY]

at the very thought of the bad coffee.

"Wait. Can you also make Starbucks Java Chip Frappé, trademark, appear?"

[— KURT @EYESlNTHESKY]

"Yes, Scott Lang, the Ant Man. Hence the ant balloon" They replied plainly, completely disregarding the sarcasm of Stephen's question.

Kurt happily took another bite of the pastry.

"Good idea. This coffee tastes - Ew - not nice." They shook their head, pulling a face --

[𝓼𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞, 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐢𝐭? (H) @MYSTICARTlST]

“ let me guess , your friend is scott ?”

last stephen checked , being an average didnt require being able to make balloon animals . but , he’ll take it .

glancing over to the coffee machine , he frowned , then snapped once again . a cup of tea appeared in his hands .

“ i’m —

[— KURT @EYESlNTHESKY]

superhero after all"

They smile, patting the balloon animal on its head.

"Thank you. I really appreciate it. Do you want coffee? It tastes terrible, just to warn you"

[— KURT @EYESlNTHESKY]

"I am not enthusiastic-" They sigh, swallowing their bite quickly.
"It is for my friend, it would make him very happy."

Though, before they could continue, the balloon ant appears before their very eyes. They, of course, stumbled backwards in surprise.

"Okay. Maybe you are --

[𝓼𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞, 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐢𝐭? (H) @MYSTICARTlST]

the cloak lifts up again , and stephen floats a few steps closer to the desk , landing back on the ground .

much simpler than walking .

“ you seem very enthusiastic about balloon animals .”

then , finally caving in to their wishes , he snaps again , a balloon ant landing —

[— KURT @EYESlNTHESKY]

:(

[𝓼𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞, 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐢𝐭? (H) @MYSTICARTlST]

no , thank you .

[— KURT @EYESlNTHESKY]

Fine. You make the post

[𝓼𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞, 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐢𝐭? (H) @MYSTICARTlST]

so you could make your own rules and further rig the post .

[— KURT @EYESlNTHESKY]

You (me) never said that it could not be me liking the post

[𝓼𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞, 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐢𝐭? (H) @MYSTICARTlST]

it’s rigged .

[— KURT @EYESlNTHESKY]

Okay. That catches them by surprise, and they do, indeed, nearly fall off their chair.

After a moment's hesitation, and a bite of the danish, they speak once more.

"What made you think that?" They add sarcastically.
"I would think it was very cool, yes."

[𝓼𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞, 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐢𝐭? (H) @MYSTICARTlST]

with a sigh , he snaps his fingers again , the donut turning into a cherry danish . instead of being in his hand , it’s directly in front of them on their desk .

“ let me guess , the better magic tricks was somebody making balloon animals ?”

[— KURT @EYESlNTHESKY]

. . .

And?

[𝓼𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞, ���𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐢𝐭? (H) @MYSTICARTlST]

it was you , kurt .

[— KURT @EYESlNTHESKY]

Somebody has liked the post, Stephen.

[𝓼𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞, 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐢𝐭? (H) @MYSTICARTlST]

i did not say this .

[— KURT @EYESlNTHESKY]

They shrug their shoulders at the sudden appearance of the doughnut, honestly impressed at themselves that they didn't faint again.

"I am more of cherry danish guy." They hummed casually, electing to turn their focus back to the computer.
"I have seen better magic tricks"

[𝓼𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞, 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐢𝐭? (H) @MYSTICARTlST]

“ i am ( much ) more than a simple magician . i am a sorcerer . my party tricks are not balloon animals and pulling a rabbit out of a hat—though i could—i make things appear out of thin air . would you like a donut ?”

he snaps his fingers , suddenly holding a donut , holding —

[— KURT @EYESlNTHESKY]

Wow, thank you, person who liked this post.

[— KURT @EYESlNTHESKY]

One like and Dr. Strange said he'd make Kurt an ant balloon animal.

[— KURT @EYESlNTHESKY]

Kurt doesn't exactly like magic. After Scott turned into an ant sized man for the first time it took them a week to properly calm down.

But Strange seems, cool?

Does he make balloon animals as well as flying and- y'know- wearing a cloak that's alive?
They want an ant balloon.

[𝓼𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞, 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐢𝐭? (H) @MYSTICARTlST]

. . . well at least the screaming stopped .

he gently descends to the floor , the cloak removing itself from his ears . setting his mug down , he bends over , pulling them up and into a chair .

they should at least be comfortable while they are unconscious .

[— KURT @EYESlNTHESKY]

THE CLOAK CAN MOVE ON ITS OWN?!
Dude, that's only going to make the screaming lo--

And Kurt fainted.

What? They don't meet many Avengers these days! In fact, they're not completely over Scott's whole Ant-Man thing.

[𝓼𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞, 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐢𝐭? (H) @MYSTICARTlST]

oh , god —

his cloak is moving up , plugging the sorcerers ears for him with ease so he doesn’t have to hear their screaming .

he will wait until they’re done .
