New York

Doctor Strange was walking in the streets when suddenly a mysterious blonde woman (Played by Charlize Theron) appeared behind him, he turned around to face her.

Doctor Strange: Can I help you?

The woman walked towards him aggressively while taking out some sort of sword made out of purple energy.

Clea: You caused an incursion, and we're gonna fix it.

She used her sword and tore a hole through reality, on the other side was the dark dimension. She then looked at Doctor Strange.

Clea: Unless you're afraid...

Strange summoned his suit and walked toward her.

Doctor Strange: Not in the least.

They both went through the portal into the dark dimension.

The Dark Dimension
Dominion of Dormammu

Doctor Strange: So, will you tell me who you are and what we're doing in the dark dimension?

Clea: My name is Clea and the dark dimension is the only way I can travel between universes.

Doctor Strange: You... can travel between universes?

Clea: It's complicated, what we need to do is figure out a way to prevent something inevitable, the incursion that you caused when you went to universe-838 with two of your friends.

She opened another portal with her sword and they went to the other universe designated as universe-838.

Universe-838
New York

Doctor Strange: So where are we going exactly?

Clea: To the meeting at the baxter building, when I found out about the incursion, I came to this universe to warn their heroes but they were already aware of it and they seemed very angry. They demanded to bring you to them to talk.

Doctor Strange: (Sighs) Not this again.

They arrive at the baxter building and enter the meeting. There is a large table with multiple heroes and some villains sitting around it, all from universe-838. Iron Man (Tom Cruise), Doctor Doom, Magneto (Michael Fassbender), Bruce Banner (Eric Bana), Cyclops, Wolverine (Hugh Jackman), Beast and Baron Mordo.

Baxter Building

Baron Mordo: Stephen Strange, how nice of you to join us! Have a seat. We have a lot to discuss.

Doctor Strange: Oh I bet we do, Carl.

Wolverine: Listen bub, you're gonna start taking things seriously around here or I'm gonna rip your face into tiny little pieces. You're lucky that we need you because the blood of Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic), Captain Carter, Black Bolt, Captain Marvel and the Professor is on YOUR hands!

Cyclops: Logan, calm down. You know he didn't kill them. It was Wanda.

Magneto: Watch your words, it was not our Wanda, it was theirs, the Scarlet Witch.

Wolverine: Wait till I get my hands on that piece of...

Doctor Doom: That would not be the wisest choice unless you are very eager to die.

Doctor Strange: Wait but isn't she...

Magneto: Be careful how you speak, Logan. She may be from another universe but she remains my daughter no matter what.

Doctor Strange: Wanda's your... daughter?

Magneto: Well technically not your Wanda, but yes I am the biological father of Wanda Maximoff, do you not know a Magneto on your universe?

Doctor Strange: Not that I know of no. We are under the impression that she is the biological daughter of her deceased parents, Olek and Iryna Maximoff.

Magneto: That does not make any sense.

Doctor Doom: Enough! We are not here to waste time, we need to discuss how we're gonna save our universe!

Iron Man: Doctor Strange, Your little parade that you made in our universe a while back not only took the lives of our world's mightiest heroes, you also caused an inc...

Doctor Strange: (Interrupts) Incursion, I know. Clea told me.

-Example of an incursion:

Doctor Strange: What I don't get is how I could even have caused an incursion if I was not even in this universe for longer than two hours. Some time ago Spider-Man caused some of his enemies and two other Spider-Mans to wreak havoc on my universe and nothing happened.

Bruce Banner: You got lucky... no one will ever fully understand how the multiverse works and frankly it is a concept about which we know frighteningly little.

Doctor Strange: Well that's just great. How, then, would we know when one would cause an incursion and when not? If it took over 16 months for this incursion to be noticed, isn't there still a possibility that whatever Spider-Man did could cause an incursion too?

Baron Mordo: That's the bad news, we don't know. Incursions happen at random. Sometimes they happen mere minutes after you step foot on another universe, other times you could live your whole life on another universe without causing a single one. What we do know, however, is that dreamwalking appears to be the cause of 90% of incursions in the multiverse.

Doctor Strange: Dreamwalking... that is what Wanda did in order to get to America Chavez. She dreamwalked into your Wanda's body.

Doctor Strange: So I'm pretty sure she is the one that caused all of this and I don't know if you knew this but she is dead. She sacrificed herself to destroy mount Wundagore and every darkhold in existence.

Doctor Doom: We are fully aware that the Scarlet Witch was the one who caused it, but you were the one who could not stop her at Kamar Taj and then inadvertantly led her to our universe with America Chavez. Killing the most well known heroes on the planet while dreamwalking has triggered an incursion. Now we need your help to stop it. Oh and... there is a chance that Wanda Maximoff could very well still be alive. After we found out about the incursion, we went looking for her at mount Wundagore only to find rubble. No sign of a body anywhere. Finding her is of great importance.

Doctor Strange: Let me guess... you need my help to find her...

Iron man: That is correct, are you familiar with the fact that our dreams are windows into the lives of our alternate selves on other universes?

Doctor Strange: Yes, I am aware. I experienced it first hand.

Beast: So we came to the conclusion that by accessing the dreams of our Wanda, we can locate where your Wanda went. You are the only one capable of doing something like that. We need to get into her mind, that way we can see where your Wanda currently is, in real-time. It's like unlocking dreams she is yet to have about your Wanda.

Doctor Strange: You forgot the part where you told me why exactly you need to find Wanda whom I thought was dead mere seconds ago.

Iron Man: There was only one instance where an incursion of two universes were prevented. It may seem harsh but so far it was the only way any incursion was stopped. They killed the one who caused it, resulting in that person's universe to revert back to its original state. In this case it is Wanda Maximoff.

Cyclops: We have to kill Wanda Maximoff.

Doctor Strange: No. We are not killing anyone. There has to be another way. This may not even work! What then? You just sit back, put on your sunscreen and watch our worlds burn?

Magneto: As hard as it is for me to say this considering she is technically my daughter, eliminating your Wanda could be our only shot. One life can not stand in the way of trillions.

Doctor Strange: But it should.

Wolverine: That psychopath deserves to die. If you're not gonna kill her, I will do it for you!

Doctor Doom: Strange, don't you understand that within the grand calculus of the multiverse, Wanda's sacrifice means infinitely more than her life.

Doctor Strange remembers when he told that to Spider-Man after he wanted to save his locked up enemies from their destiny. He also remembers when the other Strange said that to America Chavez before almost killing her.

Doctor Strange: No, she does not deserve to die, she was at a low point in her life and the darkhold took advantage of her delicate mind. I'm not justifying her actions but she was not in control. In the end she broke free of the book's hold on her mind and she tried to set things right. There was a time in my life where I would not have hesitated to kill Wanda if it meant saving both of our universes. It seems like a simple calculus. But I was changed by someone who knew that every single life is worth saving. (Refferencing Spider-Man)

Iron Man: You're really gonna let our universes die just to protect the one person that caused it in the first place?

Doctor Strange: No, I'm gonna find another way. This cannot be the only way. It can't. I refuse to believe that.

Magneto: You don't think I also tried arguing the same thing? Me of all people, Doctor, if even I can't see any other way other than to kill my own flesh and blood from another universe, you have to understand.

Cyclops: I'm sorry Strange, but the doomsday clock is ticking. If we don't act fast, both of our universes will perish. We need you to go into the mind of our Wanda (Wanda#2) to find out where your Wanda went.

Doctor Strange looks to the ground, he thinks long about his decision. He wants to save the universes, but he does not want to kill Wanda.

Doctor Strange: I... I can't. I'm sorry.

He opens up a portal but is stopped by Doctor Doom's telekinesis, Doctor Doom starts choking Strange with his powers.

Doctor Doom: If you think I'm just gonna let you walk away and be the reason Latveria gets destroyed, you're making a mistake. We are not asking for your help. We are telling you to help us. (Note: Latveria is the country ruled by Doctor Doom)

Beast: Victor! Stop!

Doctor Doom: If he walks away, we are all doomed!

Baron Mordo uses his sling ring to close the portal so that Doctor Strange can't go anywhere.

Clea looks at Strange, then she looks at Doctor Doom and Mordo as if she is deciding whose side she will be on. She then uses her power to create purple constructs, she makes purple glowing chains appear and it ties down Doctor Doom and Mordo's arms and legs.

Baron Mordo: Clea! What you doing!

Clea: The right thing.

Magneto uses his metallic powers and steals Doctor Strange's sling ring so that he can not portal away.

Cyclops: Okay everyone just calm. Down.

Clea looks at Strange and she opens a portal with her sword, Strange uses telekinesis and takes his sling ring back and steals Mordo's sling ring as well. Clea and Strange runs through the portal into the Dark Dimension. Doctor Doom breaks free and flies through the portal just in time before it closed, leaving the rest behind.

Wolverine: Now what!?

Magneto: We wait...
