"I'm sure you have time. I just want to know something that I'm sure you can answer. So... How did I die?" He asked calmly as he took another sip of coffee. Cap stared Strange in the eyes as he waited for the answer.

Alcina blinked a moment and turned towards Cap. She had no idea what he was talking about, and she had no way of finding out other than listening.
...she really was nothing without her magic. Damn it, stop thinking about that.

Strange tensed slightly, then sighed, looking resigned. "You were shot. Can we not talk about this? Several things need my immediate attention." Also... he just didn't want to talk about it. It was a horrible memory.

"Really. I would like to talk about this more but since you seem to have more importaint things to do, I guess. I won't keep you." Steve replied with out any emotion in his voice.He was angry but his face didn't show it. What gave him away was the sheacking of the cup in his hand.

Strange noticed, glanced at Alcina, and ran a hand through his hair. Then he sat down at the booth. "Fine. What, exactly, do you want to know?"

"Everything. Starting with why and ending with who." He answered as he finished his cup and sat it down. He was taking his death rather well.

Alcina sat quietly and listened, trying to keep her mind on anything but her own problems.

Strange hesitated. "The why is very complicated. So is the who. Technically, it was Sharon Carter, but she'd been brainwashed by Doctor Faustus."

"Hmm..." Was all Steve could say. What else could he say. It wasn't every day you find out a woman you loved was brainwashed into killing you.

Strange looked down at the table and started fooling around with the salt shaker in an attempt to distract himself a bit. "I'm sorry," he added quietly, not looking up, "I didn't want to tell you... She wasn't herself, alright? At all."

Alcina watched quietly for a moment then turned and poked a bit at the sandwich in front of her. Not the kind of atmosphere she needed at the moment.

"I'm sure you don't have to tell. You could use your magic to show me what happened." Cap said with a solid voice. He wanted answers and he wanted them now. His hand stoped tremblng as he started to calm down a little bit.

"No," Strange replied firmly, "It was fated to happen, which is also why I was unable to do anything about it, and going over it again will do little to help you. I know that this isn't what you want to hear, but it is for the best, my friend." Standing, he held out a hand to Alcina. "You look as though you could use a cup of tea," he told her quietly. Actually, she looked like she was in shock, but the tea wouldn't HURT.

After a very long, very awkward pause, Spidey said, "So... I'm going to... go over here. And so is she," he added indicating Mary Jane, "You're going to stay here," he added pointedly, "Because this is weird enough as things are." Grabbing MJ's wrist, he pulled her off behind one of those sheds that were sometimes on top of buildings in New York. As soon as they were out of sight, he let out a deep breath of air. "So cool, but soooo very creepy. Okay," he continued turning his attention MJ again. Putting his hands on her shoulders, he looked into her face carefully. "... You sure you're okay? I really am sorry about the whole tossing you through a window thing, by the way; it was the only thing I could..."

EDIT:
Alcina looked up at Strange, then at his hand a moment. She could...nnh, but she felt it strangely rude to just leave the other man. He'd been trying to make her feel better. Maybe it would be better to...though he might be better left to himself after news like that. Ugh, damn these emotions. She really wanted her powers to hold them back again.
....Strange was the one that just saved her. She shouldn't feel...that bad about leaving the man. He was upset after all. Perhaps it was best to leave him to himself for a while. She could find him again when her powers were back. If nothing else just so he'd know she was feeling better.
She gently knoded and took Strange's hand. She glanced back over at the other man a moment. "Thank you...for trying to make me feel better." she said quietly.
