The light of arc reactor is no more.
Pepper is crying.
Everyone around is showing their respectful to their hero.
Slowly, a semi-transparent figure  slipping out of that broken deadman.
Tony look around, then bow down to see his hand.
So it is death, or a dream!?
Weirder than I thought. I was supposed to wake up in another life, another identify.
This is quite uncomfortable, when seeing my beloved mourning for me.
Suddenly he see another, maybe another soul come towards him
Yeah, there will be other people die in this battle.
But how the hell could be him?
- Strange!?
- Tony!_ Strange nod, get closer to Tony.
- I can see my deadbody, and Pepper down here. Is it death?
- Almost.
- And you, too? So pity. I don't want you to die because your magic was too fantasy. It's good for the city and our Earth to against every threaten.
- Don't worry. I'm not dead. I just want to talk to you through the Astral Realm. I don't have any chance.
- Sorry, my bad. I should have try my best to breath longer.
Strange gives him a deep glance, he really want to hug Tony at that moment.
- Never mind. You deserve to rest in peace.
- Thank you.
Stephen sees care, concern and respect reflected in Tony’s eyes, in that word.
- For everything I did!? It's just my duty for our victory, for the universe.
- No, you little shit. I mean for fighting with me till the end, for giving me something to believe in. I'm not regret anything now, thanks to you.
Then Tony smiles,
With thankfulness, not with sarcasm.
Strange drowns in that smile for a while. There's a flicker of pain in Strange’s eyes.
I see you die, everytime I go forward in time.
14,000,605 times
I am the only one to know you're going to die.
With all of my power, I can't protect you.
This is inevitable.
I just can see you die right before my eye, unable to help, from in many outcomes to in real life.
- Tony!
- Yeah, Strange!?
- I know it's a bit selfish. But, forgive me, Tony, I don't have anymore chance.
The moment he hears it, Tony almost predicted what will happen.
- Don't say you will-
Strange lean on, grabs the back of Tony’s head.
- I love you, Tony. I love you 14,000,605.
He murmurs, then leave a kiss on that lips. It's barely even a kiss—just a gentle press of their lips together. Soft and uncomplicated. 
- Strange.. Stephen! I-
The kiss makes Tony feels strange, especially in this Astral Realm, but not really surprised.
- One moment, please. Just.. one moment.
Strange pulls away first, looking down at Tony, who is half confused half acceptable.
- Stephen.. I- I don't mean that things but I-
- Thank you.
- For what!?
- For what you have contributed for this country.
- Did you stalk every single moment of this battle!?
Tony can't help smiling. The situation now is less confusing
- Not really. I can't see what will happen with that kiss. I accept the failure, your madness at me, being kicked away and received plenty of F words. But you didn't.
- 'Cos I love you, too. You dabass.
Tony finally gives him a hug, which he has done with the kid, but haven't had time for others.
Strange grabs his shoulder, tightly, trustfully.
He fall down unexpectedly, Tony got into a panic with his astral form, which is faded away.
- Stephen!? What happen to you!?
He doesn't reply.
- Strange!? What is this!?
- I'm about to die!
- What!?
- To maintain you in this world, I have to use my own astral power to keep you here, to say the last word.
Tony is stupefied with that word. Strange doesn't care about his life, he trades it for meeting me, confessing me.
- Stephen! Don't! What about me!?
- Vanished. When I blow away due to my soul is destroyed by lacking of power, you will totally.. die. And start a new life in some.. dime.._ He can't finish his word. He is too weak now. Half of his astral form has turned into dust._ ...I'm.. sorr..
- Stephen you stupid! You have 2 PhDs and now acting like an idoit.
Strange try to smile to Tony, with all his radiant.
- Love makes me idiot, Ton..
The rest of the sentence can't be completed.
Because he isn't here anymore.
- Stephen!?
He won't never answer back.
Tony bow his head down, you've gone away once, then twice.
You shouldn't have been here, but you did.
Then have to die to have some minutes with me.
Why would you do that!?
- Oh dear Stephen Strange, neurostuff meets rabit from a hat, you should have stayed longer for this.
-  I love you.
- 14,000,605..
- ..Idiot.
Tony close his eyes. His soul slowly vanishes to golden dust, blow away, far from his old place.
To star a new journey.

- You super ultra stupid Stephen Strange! I have to ask Clea from 616-E to transfer you into this dimension for saving your dump life, asshole!_ Wong is totally hit the roof with the doctor. The white-hair woman standing near by just shake her head with disappointed._ But it's too unstable! You can be dead.. Anytime.
- Thank a lot to save my life, Wong.
- A thank won't make every less serious. Think about your responsible for being a Sorcerer Supreme, Mr. Strange.
- Doctor. _Strange can't remember how many time he fix that for others, it's just like a habit.
- I don't give a fuck!
- Urghh. I think that I should apply some spell on him for lock his abilities for a while.
- You can't do it, Clea.
- I can and I will.
