Summary
Between the chaos of Marvel Rivals matches, Stephen Strange and Namor are sent on a covert mission that ends in disaster—Namor, is mortally wounded, bleeding out in Strange’s arms. Desperation drives Strange to dark magic, a forbidden spell that brings Namor back... but at a price that begins to hollow Strange out from the inside.
Now back in the arena, Strange tries to conceal the toll—his spells crack with shadow, his hands tremble, and pain ghosts across his face with every incantation. Namor sees it all. He’s not just watching a teammate suffer—he’s watching the man who saved him burn from the inside out, for him.
The match grinds to a halt when Strange stumbles, nearly collapsing, and even their enemies hesitate. Namor storms to his side, demanding answers—only to be met with deflection and a stubborn refusal to let anyone in. But Namor won’t let him fade. Not after what they’ve been through. Not after what they almost said before the spell was cast.
In the middle of battle, blood, and secrets, tension ignites. There's a reckoning between duty and desire, between power and love—and Namor is done pretending he doesn't care.
