While Peter lives back on the track, Stephen Strange now sees a terrifying dream every day.
Just like today, he is seeing, in the Gap Junction, a plane between universes, a girl and he is running towards the Book of Vishanti while attempting to evade a Ribboned Creature.
Stephen attacked the strange creature and froze him in the ice.
"Did this kill it?" The girl asked, she was America Chavez.
"No," Stephen replied then he pointed his fingers towards a magical book, "That's how we kill it."
"The Book of Vishanti!" Chavez said, looking at the book. But then monsters break the ice and follow them.
Strange's attempts to contain the monster prove futile, leading him to attempt to steal Chavez's power of multiversal travel, while knowing that the process would kill her.
However, the demon kills Strange during the process, and Chavez, in fear, inadvertently opens a portal to Earth-613 which she and Strange's corpse fall through.
Doctor Strange wakes up, believing this vision to be a nightmare and continues about his day. He dresses up to attend Christine Palmer's wedding, where he reminisces about the time they previously spent together, but Palmer insists that the relationship would've failed regardless.
During the celebration, an invisible entity begins to terrorize the streets of New York. Strange is forced to respond and reveals the entity as a Gargantos, a gigantic tentacled monster. Also present is Chavez, whom Strange recognizes from his "nightmare" and rescues her.
"Do I know you?" He asked Chavez, but suddenly Gargantos attacked him. Wong arrives at the scene from Kamar-Taj, and together they kill Gargantos by gouging its eye out.
"Who is she?" Wong asked, looking at Chavez. She tried to escape but Strange caught her.
"Stop kid. What did that creature want with you?" Strange asked her. She again tried to escape but Strange and Wong again captured her.
"Monsters always come to my dreams, but I didn't understand, how did you come in my dreams yesterday?" Stephen asked.
"It was not a dream. It was another Universe," Chavez replied, making Wong and Strange see each other.
They bring her to a cafe, "How much experience do you guys have with the Multiverse?" Chavez asked them.
"We have an idea of the Multiverse. And most recently, there was an incident with Spider-Man. And I know a person who has traveled to many Universes," Stephen replied.
"Whoa, someone has already visited a different Universe! Are you telling the truth or lying to me?" Chavez asked, she didn't believe it.
"No, no of course not, he was unique, he can solve everything," Stephen and Wong replied.
"Really," Chavez asked while eating the sandwich.
"Eat carefully, or you have a stomach ache," Strange said, and asked, "While you can enlighten us about your story."
"Didn't know, I have met two Dr. Strange till now, and both are not my favorite," Chavez said in Spanish.
"What does this mean, and why is the octopus trying to eat you?" He questions Chavez.
"He didn't come to eat me, he came to kidnap me. He is a henchman, who works for a demon. And the demon is hunting her for her powers," Chavez explained.
"Which powers?" Strange asked her.
"I have the powers of opening the portals of different Universes, but it only works when I am more scared. Even though I didn't know how it works, it was not in my control," Chavez answered.
"Okay, the other Strange can defeat the villains?" Strange asked her.
"No, but he was talking about some magical book of pure good, that gives a sorcerer whatever they need to defeat their enemy?"
"The Book of Vishanti! It's a fairy tale. It doesn't exist," Stephen replied.
"In reality it exists," Wong answered. It revealed that whenever someone becomes Sorcerer Supreme, they will get a book. There were the details about the Book of Vishanti.
"You are not the Sorcerer Supreme?" Chavez asked, to which Stephen nodded, she replied, "The other Strange was the Sorcerer Supreme in his Universe."
Wong explained although the Book of Vishanti exists, it was unreachable. "I know it is unreachable, but we still reached it. But then the demon caught up with us. I thought Strange will protect me, but you didn't save me," Chavez said looking at Stephen.
"I have seen the fight in my dreams," Strange replied, which still claimed it was not a dream, then Strange asked for proof.
As proof of her claims, she takes them to the alternate Strange's corpse to prove that Strange's "nightmare" was actually a peek into his counterpart across the Multiverse.
"It means, dreams are windows into the lives of our Multiverse selves," Stephen said. Which Wong asked when he was running nude from a joker in dreams, to which Chavez replied it was another Universe reality.
"Ok, forget about anything, what is your name kid?" Wong asked.
"America Chavez," She replied.
"Miss Chavez, will you come with us to Kamar-Taj? You'll be safe there," Wong asked, which Chavez asked, she didn't trust him, but since there is no other way, she agreed.
Upon further inspection of the corpse, Strange discovers it was runes of witchcraft that he realizes were also present on the tentacled creature. Knowing that this isn't his area of expertise, he goes to visit someone.

Meanwhile Wanda Maximoff is dreaming about playing with her children from another Universe. But soon she was visited by Stephen Strange.
Wanda Maximoff at her farm, asks him about what he knows about the Multiverse.
He explained to her, he has found a girl who can travel in the Multiverse, but some demons are following her, and he has come to ask for her help, since she was the most powerful magic-wielder of the planet.
"Why didn't you bring back Chavez here?" Wanda asked, and then Stephen realized he didn't tell her Wanda the America Chavez's name.
Then Wanda shows that the farm is a chaos magic conjuration created by Maximoff herself.
With the Darkhold in her possession, Maximoff reveals herself as the one who sent the demons after Chavez originally.
"What do you want with America? What do you want with the Multiverse?" Stephen questioned her.
"I'm going to leave this reality and go to a different Universe, where I can be with my children," Wanda replied.
"Wanda, your children aren't real. You created them using magic," Stephen explained to her.
"I know, but still I wanted them," Wanda replied.
"So, why not ask about it from Ben, he is also a Multiverse traveler, he can easily do it," Stephen gives the suggestion.
"I tried, but Ben was not available on Earth. I searched every corner of the Earth, but I didn't find him. Maybe he will go on some Multiverse Journey again," Wanda replied.
"No, just a few days ago, Ben visited us, when the Multiversal tear is spreading," Stephen answered her.
"Yes, but before I called him, he vanished. And, now I don't have the patience to wait for him, I want to live with my children. And only America Chavez is the way for her to complete her dreams," Wanda replied.
Stephen again tried to explain to her, it was all the wrong, it is not the way of heroes. But she didn't take the advice, she also gives Strange a warning that before sundown to surrender Chavez before she will hunt her down herself. Strange rejects her demands.
"If you didn't do it, then Wanda will not come to take her, then will come the Scarlet Witch," She warned him, before he left.

"Yes," Ben nodded at her. Maria goes to spread this news to her mom for the preparation of Wanda's wedding.
