Hamlet and John carried Wong to his bed. Stephen's hands were shaking way too much to perform the proper incantation. When the other two returned, they saw that everyone had taken a seat on the couch. Horatio was sitting with a stack of books to figure out what to do.

Stephen was staring blankly at the wall.

"I have managed to hack SHIELD. Everyone has miraculously fallen asleep. Same with all the other people who I managed to see the footage off. If I have deduced correctly, then everyone is has fallen asleep. We are the only ones awake." Sherlock announced.

"How do you know that it was Nightmare?" Ophelia asked Stephen.

"I had a vision." He replied simply before getting off the couch and starting to pace.

The others could faintly hear him reprimanding himself. They exchanged looks. The sorcerer looked agitated. Finally John called out, "Trying to make a hole in the floor won't help."

Stephen looked at him for a few moments before his words actually registered in his brain. He snapped,

"Then tell us what to do."

"You are the sorceror here,how will I know?"

"I am trying. Damn it!"

With this, he grabbed a book from the bookshelf and opened to a particular page. An extremely thin man with springy and tangled black hair could be seen drawn on the page riding a horse. The horse was skeletal and had eyes of fire quite similar to the man. Beneath the picture was written, "Nightmare."

"Nightmare cannot be reached. You cannot fence with him. You cannot shoot him. He cannot be defeated using any physical weapons. There are no instructions on how to defeat him. He feeds on your fears,turns them into nightmares. He is trying to conquer the world by sending everyone to sleep. The only place you can defeat him is the Dream Dimension where he is the most powerful. But no one knows how."

Horatio slammed his book shut and flopped down on the sofa. Strange continued to pace irritably.

"Look was how to defeat Dormammu, written in a book?"

Stephen stopped pacing.

"No."

"Who discovered a method to defeat him?"

Stephen sighed.

"Look,I can see what you are getting at but I don't have the time stone. Though I don't think that it would have been viable to bargain with Nightmare."

Even as he said the name,the temperature in the room seemed to drop a few degrees. Suddenly Stephen stopped and said,

"You all don't have to do anything. I can send you all back to your own worlds. This is my responsibility and my alone. It would not do well to burden my responsibilities on you."

Seriously,Strange?

Ophelia said,"Even if you did that you have to drag me back there kicking and screaming because I am not the person who backs away from helping a friend. And when I say for myself,I speak for Hamlet and Horatio too."

"Indeed it would not do well to leave a  friend in danger. It would haunt our consciences forever." Hamlet said as Horatio nodded.

Sherlock spoke up,"Look its incredibly boring back at home and I won't have you take away what excitement I have got. This is a 10."

"He means,"John spoke hurriedly,"That we would love to help you. You are our friend."

Stephen blinked back the sudden tears in his eyes. He was sure as hell not going to cry.

"But you have all chances of dying. Worse you might never be able to come back and be stuck in a state of limbo. You are my friends too and I can't have you face such a danger." He pressed on. He was a doctor for Hippocrates's sake. He could not risk others lives. But even as he said this to himself,a nasty voice reminded him that he had gotten two Avengers killed just to execute his plan and Hippocrates knew how many others had died in plane crashes and car accidents when the snap had depleted them of their drivers. They had not been brought back by Hulk's snap.

Guilty conscience. Don't worry I have one too.

The others stared back at him with a "Seriously?" look as Horatio said,"We know what we are getting ourselves into. We know the dangers. We are taking our own responsibility. You are not responsible for us."

Stephen sighed. He did not have any more ideas by which to dissasuade them.

Don't,you will need them.
