[ A very specific portal: the same kind he uses. Nevermind the door to the Sanctum from Kamar-Taj or the fact she can punch holes in space and dimension. Nevermind that he'll be heading there to check on her as soon as he's back if Wong doesn't bring her over before he gets the chance.
His smile is faint but wry. Never miss a teaching moment. ]
[ Her eyes might narrow, but America sounds somewhat playful - she caught on to his meaning! ]
Are you trying to give me some sort of incentive?
[ There's a mild eye-roll to him finally saying it directly, then a beat. Just in case, she moves forward to throw her arms around him. After all, Strange made sure to look out for her in a whole other world, once again, and there is appreciation for it. ]
[ Oh. He's still not quite used to this, but it doesn't stop him from lifting his arms to hug back, squeeze her goodbye. ]
The incentive is pizza, my treat.
[ Which is a better incentive than his company alone, given a) she can have that any time and b) at this point, anyone in their right mind would be craving a New York slice. First, though, she'll have to get that portal down. ]
[ She squeezes him when she feels his arms return the hug, then she steps back to beam. Stephen can learn, too! ]
[ America has not, in fact, had pizza in a long time - and it's not that easy to get in the snowy mountains hidden away from the world, either. ]
That's better. And I'm holding you to that. [ Because now she's totally going to make the sling ring do what she wants - he's right in that she definitely wants a New York pie. ]
...but what about you? What's the first thing you want to eat when you get back?

You'll see me, America.
