"Huh..." Alcina said, finding that her own little spell was doing nothing. She placed a slender finger on her bottom lip and stared at Greed a moment, then glanced back at the window. "My, my, my..." she continued, making her way back towards the window to look out it again. "It seems you'll have to wait until he decides to let everyone go..." she said looking down at Strange and the others. "Apparently he is very good with his magic..." A faint grin curled around the edge of her lips. "Very good..."

Doomsday could no longer sense Superman through his special power due to the magic eliminating such presences due to lack of movement, so rather quickly, Doomsday regained his more intelligent personality. With a cough and a snarl, Doomsday was talking in a polite manner, trying to win over with the good sorcerer, despite how much he wanted to bash the idiot's brains in.
"Why, I was simply ridding the world of the remnants of Krypton; I'd be doing the world, no...Existence a favor."
Doomsday hated Krypton with a passion and he would like nothing better than to crush Superman's skull under his large foot right into dust. With eyes of hatred only that could be described with Doomsday's new intelligence stared at Superman, now with both hatred and rage wanting to end his life.

Magic. Superman thought Nothing else could explain this, but whoever he is, the really bad guys don't usually demand an explanation. "My name is Superman, and I was trying to prevent this... monster (he pronounced the word with utter contempt borne of true passion, no affectation) from destroying this city or harming its inhabitants!"

Spider-man was swinging in at full speed. Oh thank god, Strange is here, did he just freeze everybody? "Strange, the guy in the cape is a good guy, so are the chicks in red, white and blue!"

"I'm only a monster because your kind made me like this! You can never fathom the pain I've went through because of Krypton and you are a living reminder, along with Supergirl! I kill you both and end this nightmare, once and for all! Let me free and I'll make all of your deaths quick and painless!"
Doomsday started to struggle, but not only with the strength of rage, but the strength of his emotions getting into the mix. Doomsday wanted to end his pain, but suicide wasn't an option. He was trapped in an endless cycle of hatred and anger with no way out other then killing what remained of the source of his pain; Krypton and its last son, as well as its daughter. They all had to die or there would be no peace for Doomsday who was just a tortured being with only one way out. Doomsday was getting angry with each passing second he had to look at Superman and not be able to punch his brain to a splat on the wall.

Strange turned to look at Doomsday, not an ounce of pity on his face. "I found a rather interesting dimension during my time here. It certainly has no connection to my world, so perhaps you are familiar with it. In any case, under normal circumstances I would stick all four of you inside without a second thought, but since Spider-man has vouched for three of you, I suppose it will be a solo trip." He raised his hand, and muttered something in latin, and quite suddenly, Doomsday was sucked backward into what looked like a tear in the very air. Through the hole, anyone at the proper angle caught a brief glimpse of a chaotic realm of red and black. Those who had the proper information could recognize it immediately as the Phantom Zone.
{Exit Doomsday to the Phantom Zone}
The tear shut in the blink of an eye. A muttered command later, everyone could move again."

Superman eyed the newcomer, flying down to stand beside him. He's as powerful as Doctor Fate! Spider-man seems to know him... I hope that means he's on our side. "Thank you." Superman said cautiously. "Who are you?"
"He's Doctor Strange." Spider-man answered. "The Sorcerer Supreme from my reality. He's one of the good guys, just like us."
Superman nodded. "What might you know about what's going on here? Do you think that we might be of some mutual assistance to each other in fixing all of this?"

Strange closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to think. He was dangerously close to just collapsing, and he knew it. "In order: basically everything, for all the good that does us, and quite possibly," he said quietly. So, so tired. He really did not want to sit here and answer questions, but he didn't want all of them following him back to the Sanctum, either.

Superman noticed that the man seemed fatigued. When was the last time any of us got some sleep? He wondered. "Are you alright?" Superman asked, legitimately concerned.
"He hasn't slept in a while, from what I've heard." Spider-man replied, reaching out a supportive hand to Strange's shoulder.

What was he supposed to say to that? No? I've been coping for the past two weeks without sleep, and without my energy replenishment spells, I would have been insane or dead by now? He didn't even think that he could manage a teleportation spell to get himself home without burning out completely. "I'll be fine," he said flatly, "Just... Really. Please. I realize it's difficult with the way things are, but please, please, PLEASE try to be quiet. It's a miracle that I managed to do those spells correctly, to be perfectly honest. I could have killed everyone, or not opened the gateway properly and let everyone in the Phantom Zone out, or I could have given your Doomsday Thor's hammer. I'm sure you get the picture. Just a few hours of sleep. Please. ... And get Logan out of my sitting room," he added to Spider-man.

Spider-man nodded. "Of course." He turned to Superman "With Doomsday gone, you can probably report back to the Watchtower, as for me, Strange's place is closer to my own turf, I'll keep an eye on him and give you a call when he's up." Spider-man paused "If that's okay with you Doc.?"

"Fine." At that point, he would have agreed to basically anything if it meant sleeping for more than a few minutes at a time.

The grin on Alcina's face grew as she watched. That was interesting. Well, he certainly wasn't in the mood to mess around. Poor thing...
She paused a moment, then a bit of a different grin curled around her lips. "Come to check up on him or me?" she said to seemingly no one, and not looking away.
X appeared in the corner of the room staring at her. "Both." he said simply. "So why don't you just go down there and make some friends?"
"Because you've helped to wear the poor man out. And wether you want to admit it or not, he is rather impressive." she purred. She heard a 'humph' behind her, and her grin curled a bit more. She didn't need to see his face to know that his laid back expression didn't change, except for the corners of his mouth droping slightly. "Really. He's only human, he's this worn out, and he's still able to do all this. You really are going to have your hands full if you continue."
"Please. I create a few 'natural dissasters' out there and he'll drop in exhaustion within minutes. Tell me what is 'impressive' about that..." X said calmly, then paused a moment. "And there, did you hear that?" he continued after hearing Strange speak.
Alcina laughed a bit and turned to sit on the edge of the windowseal, the glass suddenly just vanishing. "You are just too easy, you know that." she purred.
