If Alaric remembers correctly, in the comics, Clea met Strange after he had become Doctor Strange and after he had entered the Dark Dimension.
At that time, Strange was fighting Dormammu, but due to lack of strength, he started fleeing, so Clea saved him and admired his courage.
Later, Strange fought against Mordo, who had become Baron Mordo, and was once again defeated by Clea, which is why Dormammu considered him a traitor and exiled Clea from the Dark Dimension.
That was until Strange and Eternity joined forces, defeated Dormammu, and saved Clea and many other inhabitants of the Dark Dimension; then Clea was brought back to Earth by Strange and became his mentor.
Later, due to the appearance of a journalist, Clea decided on her own to leave Strange and return to the Dark Dimension.
Clea then led the natives and started a rebellion against the witch Umar, and later succeeded in defeating Umar with the help of Doctor Strange and faced her.
From Orini, Clea learns her origin: she is actually the daughter of Orini and the witch Umar, and Orini is a descendant of Olnar, the first ruler of the Dark Dimension; in other words, Clea is the legitimate ruler of the Dark Dimension.
In the battle with her mother Umar, Clea gradually gained the support of the people of the Dark Dimension, because of which the Flame of Regency appeared above her head, and the Flame of Regency granted Clea extremely powerful magic, allowing her to completely defeat Umar.
At that moment, Clea and Strange renewed their love, exchanged vows, and got married in the Dark Dimension.
But now, Strange is still a doctor, and a lot of time needs to pass before he suffers an accident, comes into contact with magic, and becomes the sorcerer of Kamar-Taj.
However, it seems that due to Alaric's appearance, Clea directly left the Dark Dimension.
"A woman? What woman? Who even is this Doctor Strange!?"
"I'm not even married yet!!"
When Clea heard Alaric say that she is actually the future wife of Doctor Strange, she immediately got angry!
She's still young!
And that's the future anyway!
If Clea had heard this before meeting Alaric, maybe she would have been interested in that man named Doctor Strange.
But now, in her mind, there is only Alaric; even if it's not yet love, Clea has no interest in Doctor Strange!
"Yes, yes, yes, you're not married yet."
"Come on, since you want to learn magic, let's go to my temple first."
Alaric said casually.
At the same time, he agrees to teach Clea magic, because Clea is not an ambitious being like Dormammu; more precisely, Clea belongs to the camp of good and order, so Alaric can safely help her.
"Uh-huh!" Clea agreed joyfully.
Everything was going so smoothly that Clea screamed from happiness inside!
However, just as Alaric was about to take Clea back, he once again sensed a strong spatial fluctuation that drew his attention.
"What is it?"
Seeing Alaric suddenly pause, Clea asked confusedly.
"Looks like another guest has arrived, I'm going to check."
"Can I come with you!?" Clea looked at Alaric with hopeful eyes, sparkling.
"Sure."
Alaric nodded, activated magic, and teleported with Clea to the S.H.I.E.L.D. Pegasus Program Testing Center.
There, Alaric and Clea, both invisible, saw Loki, who had been teleported by the Cosmic Cube.
"Mind Scepter?"
"Is that what's in his hand? Who is he?" Clea asked.
"His name is Loki, and he's from Asgard."
Alaric explained.
It seems that the Battle of New York is not far off, and the Avengers will gather for the first time.
Alaric watched from the side as Loki used the Mind Scepter to control Hawkeye and Professor Erik, stole the Cosmic Cube, and did not interfere.
He could stop Loki now and take the Space Stone back, but that's not necessarily a good thing for Earth.
Because if there is no alien invasion of New York, neither S.H.I.E.L.D. nor the Avengers will know where the greatest threat comes from, nor will they have the chance to grow stronger.
Only through baptism by war can they strengthen fast enough to repeatedly stand against alien invasions in the future and have at least some chance.
Especially since Thanos won't wait long.
That great war is unavoidable.
Better they get used to it early.
After all, the war that Loki brings is still bearable; even without Tony and the others, Alaric could handle it himself, so there's no bigger problem.
"Aren't you going to help him?" Clea asked, frowning at the chaos Loki was causing.
"I will help, but not now."
Alaric shook his head and returned with Clea to the temple.
As soon as they returned, Alaric received a call from Fury.
Yes, Fury had gotten his number from Tony and had earlier sent a message to Alaric, saying he wouldn't contact him unless it was something really important.
Fury was afraid that Alaric, as soon as he saw his number, would just hang up.
"Hello?"
"Alaric! There's a problem! Loki has come to Earth! He also took the Cosmic Cube!"
Fury shouted breathlessly.
At that moment, he was sitting in a car, watching the helicopter fly away, both angry and worried!
He didn't know what Loki planned to do with the Cosmic Cube, but Fury knew very well how powerful that thing was; if Loki decided to use it for destruction, Fury couldn't guarantee they could stop him!!!
Luckily, there's Alaric!!
"Okay, I understand."
"Are you going to interfere?! I need your help!"
When he heard Alaric's calm tone, Fury's heart calmed a little.
"I will, okay, hanging up."
Alaric didn't want to prolong the call.
He really plans to get involved, just not immediately.
"Wait… Fuck!!"
Fury hung up, his face darkened.
You didn't say what exactly you're going to do!!
Fury really wanted to call him again, but remembering Alaric's character, he changed his mind.
The situation is already like this, now he can only hope in Alaric.
After all, Fury has seen Alaric's results.
Loki, the second prince of Asgard, weaker than Thor, if Alaric can't handle him, Fury would have to suspect he's letting him go on purpose!
But Fury can't rely only on Alaric, he must act himself too.
Because, if something similar happens one day and Alaric isn't there, then what?
That's why Fury intends to use this opportunity and finally officially launch the Avengers Initiative he has been preparing for years!
Whether the Avengers will successfully assemble this time depends on him!!
"Alright, first bring Banner back, then find the Cosmic Cube!"
Fury quickly left the base.
On the other side, Loki, who had already reached the secret base, forced Hawkeye and Professor Erik to start working on how to use the Cosmic Cube to open a portal.
At the same time, he was thinking about how to deal with Alaric so he couldn't stand in his way!
"Alaric… This time you won't defeat me!"
