It had been a few days after Stephen defeated Kaecilius. He and Wong would protect the New York Sanctum. Stephen didn't want Aries to help them because he was worried about her safety. She didn't mind much. Her flower shop was close enough to the sanctum. She always visited during her free time. She walked into the sanctum, holding bags of McDonald's.

"Stephen? Wong? I brought food," she called out.

Stephen stepped out of a newly formed ring by her side and pressed a kiss to the side of her head, taking the bags of food from her. When Stephen safely arrived back at the sanctum after Dormammu left Earth alone, he kissed Aries on the lips without a moment's hesitation. The two had never really talked about whether or not they were dating, but neither of them minded.

"Thanks. I think Wong's upstairs, listening to Beyoncé again," said Stephen.

Aries snickered. "He's gone to the dark side."

"That may be my fault," Stephen admitted.

She chuckled and leaned forward to kiss his chin. "Any news, oh great sorcerer?"

He shrugged. "I'm expecting someone, but he won't be here for a couple more weeks."

"Do I know him?"

"You may have heard of him, but I can't tell you why."

Aries pouted. "Why not?"

"Because it would change the outcome," he answered.

"Do you really know everything?"

"Yes."

"Really?"

"You stole a chocolate bar when you were six," he added.

"I didn't mean to!" she exclaimed.

"Yes, you did."

"Okay, I did," she admitted.

"I can't believe you didn't tell me you stole a chocolate bar," Stephen exasperated.

"I was six!" she exclaimed. "How was I supposed to know you wouldn't tell on me?"

"Good point. I probably would have told my mom."

"You were such a tattletale," she muttered.

"And yet, you still love me," he retorted.

Aries sighed. "Yeah, yeah, I do."
