Out of all the people to come to him for a medical consult, somehow this was one of the last he’d expect.
Yet Strange isn’t even sure what he expected. Other templars with lyrium doses to administer, maybe? Viktor, most likely, because that is an unhealthy-looking man. But he supposes that was the whole point of this unpredictable exercise: toss out the open call, reel in the line, see what comes back.
And what comes back is Gela, floating in his doorway, looking oddly chipper.
“Oh!” he says, and jerks, almost knocks over the cup of pen and quill. It’s been literal years since he sat people down in his office back at MGH. This all feels very official.
“Yes, of course, come in.” He’s standing up, hands pressed against the table, then waving her in. “Congratulations, you’re my very first visitor. How can I help you?”
