Dr. Stephen Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum has appeared in this universe. From the outside, it looks like an office complex. Going in uninvited might not be a good idea...

As Strange stepped into his Sanctum, there was a soft beeping from his waist. The phone that Agent Zero had given him was ringing.

{Enter from New York}
If Strange had been anyone else, he would have rolled his eyes. As it was, he contented himself with sinking into his favorite chair before answering the damn thing. "Zero," he said calmly, "I apologize for being out of contact for so long; I got a little tied up with other things."

"No problem, Doctor," Zero answered coolly. "We had a slight hitch. I went to pick up Deadpool to help me on the mission, but we were interrupted. There's this weird Reaper guy. He attacked us, and we had to separate to get out of there. How's the timeframe looking for the mission? Should I go without him?"

Strange smiled automatically at the mention of the Reaper, but quickly sobered. "I suppose you'll have to," he said reluctantly, "He certainly would have been useful. If I can reach him, I will send him along after you. As to the timeframe," he continued, "You should get underway as soon as may be arranged; leaving Doom unmonitored for much longer would be absolutely foolheardy." He paused. "Do you have any questions? You will, of course, be unable to contact me once you are there."

There was a momentary silence. "I see. All right. And how will I get to...wherever I'm going?"

"If my observations are any indication, the country of Latveria should currently be located where Queens used to be. You can just walk across the bridge from New York," Strange replied immediately, "Anything else?"

"Anything else I should know? I assume I can bring in all the tech I want to help me on this one. And if you could have Deadpool contact me before he does something stupid, that would be good."
There was rustling on the phone as Zero got ready to leave.

"Easier said than done," Strange said dryly, "But I'll see what I can do. In any case, his main perpose is to be a distraction; the more idiotically he behaves, the more likely you are to remain unnoticed." He paused. "Stay on guard, though I'm sure I don't have to tell you that, and send any important information you find through the crystal I sent you eariler."

"Right." Shuffling. "Any chance you'll tell me what I'm actually supposed to be looking for here? I mean, I know I'm watching Doom, but what am I looking for specifically?"

Strange leaned back in his chair. "Anything that looks as though it would interfear with my efforts to get everything and everyone back into their proper universes," he said tiredly, "Which means almost everything that Victor is likely to do."

"Sounds like a big mission," Zero said with a chuckle. "Which, of course, means a proportionally large payment. I'll expect proper compensation when I return, but I trust you on that." Click.
"OK. I'm going to head off then. Send in Deadpool whenever you're ready. I'll talk to you when I return." With that, he hung up.

Strange immediately closed the cellphone and set it on the table beside him. He wasn't paying the man, of course; the U.S. government was. They wanted New York back. Luckily, the money he'd been given to pay Zero was in his Sanctum...

Strange paused in the middle of his preparations to locate this mysterious Mr. X, sensing that one of his new friend's duplicates was being bad. Quickly he sent out a mental message, which he hoped the thing would heed it; he would hate to interrupt his work to go deal with a skeleton.

[Enter Ghost Rider (Daniel Ketch) from Marvel Universe)
Daniel Ketch rode on his motorcycle to the front of the building. The burning on his arm lessened slightly. "Alright, I guess that means I'm heading in the right direction..." he said to no one in particular. He got off his bike, and walked up to the front door. He hit the intercom button, hoping the good Doctor was in. "Doctor Strange? It's me, Danny Ketch. Could you let me in? I have to talk to you." He came to the biulding, half expecting it to not be there, along with the rest of New York, but he found it, along with NYC, so he figured he had ended up wherever the city had been taken to. Good thing, too, otherwise he'd NEVER get this damned brand to stop killing his arm.
