[ bloody fantastic. Fitz lets Strange take the lead, hanging back to avoid drawing attention to the pair of them. the distance allows him time to suppress his anxieties, too. in this moment, he can't afford to break, not with a sort-of-Avenger waiting expectantly and a hypothesis left dangling between them.
it takes him half a minute to case the area before following suit. when he rejoins Strange, his features are arranged in near-neutrality, betrayed only by the worried furrow of his brow. ]
Okay, so. [ he fishes in his pockets for something, retrieving a rock. ] I've only been testing it out for a few days.

Fitz has always fiddled with things like this, tossing pic 'n mix in his mouth and balled-up paper in bins. this isn't any different, except for the power stealing situation. another furtive look around the area confirms they weren't followed. if anyone walks past, they'll only see his back.
he throws the wee rock up with his good hand (the left), and a small portal appears beneath, catching it on the way down and closing shortly thereafter. another portal opens above his right hand, higher than he'd like, so he reaches up to snatch the rock out of the air. ta-dah. ]
