American comics: Starting with Luke the Maker

"I know, I know, you miss me a lot. But I'm really not your older brother. Here, I'm the younger one," Pietro said while eating breakfast at the table after hugging the Scarlet Witch.

At the long dining table, Pietro sat across from his sister. To his left was a gentle, blonde woman taking care of a two or three-year-old boy. To his right were two girls about the same age as Billy, and America.

Wanda and the Scarlet Witch sat opposite them, with Billy and his brother sitting close to the Scarlet Witch on either side. Stephen and Strange sat next to Wanda.

"Sorry, I just missed you too much. You can't imagine how much pain your death caused me. My only family member left me," the Scarlet Witch said, her emotions fluctuating greatly. If it weren't for the restraining suit she was wearing, she would definitely have lost control of her chaos magic and let it spill out, affecting everything around her.

"Okay, I know that I died miserably in other universes. All sorts of bizarre and unreliable deaths. Killed by a bullet? I can't imagine!" Pietro didn't bother to correct the Scarlet Witch, but instead followed her lead. He could understand his sister's feelings and emotions in another universe. Although after experiencing so much, his initial careful care and heartache had faded a lot, it didn't mean he was numb to it. It was just that he now used a way that he thought was better and more comfortable for her to comfort her.

At the same time, he was also speechless about how he was always dying and leaving the stage early in other universes. It was the first time he felt that his fate in other universes was so ill-fated and his experiences so tragic.

Both parents died, and then he experienced various experiments and the threat of death. Finally, after mastering his powers, he died on the battlefield. Anyway, he just died and died again. Every ending he heard about him was the same.

Of course, perhaps it was because only those who had experienced those painful experiences would allow one Wanda after another with severe psychological trauma to cross the universe and come here. Happy people don't need to do that, do they?

"It's so good that you're alive here," the Scarlet Witch said with tears in her eyes, briefly regarding Pietro as the younger brother she once depended on. She knew very well that this was not her dead brother, but that didn't stop her from treating him as family at the moment.

"Reunions are wonderful, you should be staying here for a while, so there's no need to be like this," Wanda patted the emotional Scarlet Witch's shoulder across the children. From the moment she saw the children, the Scarlet Witch's emotions had been in an excited state. Wanda wanted to try to get her to control her emotions and gradually ease them.

Emotional changes have a huge impact on the enhancement and influence of chaos magic. This was also why Wanda had to prepare a restraining suit for the Scarlet Witch before. After all, she had suffered from this before. If she hadn't acted in time, the out-of-control version of herself would have almost caused even more serious problems.

Billy and his brother were also very sensible in comforting the Scarlet Witch. This made the Scarlet Witch's emotions even more active and moved. If it were the previous paranoid version of her, she might have thought about taking possession of everything, but now, Wanda had given her new hope. This prevented her paranoid side from reaching the point of dominating consciousness. It didn't disappear, but was temporarily shifted to other directions.

Seeing this scene, Strange felt a little more at ease. At least the Scarlet Witch's condition looked relatively normal, no longer in an extremely obsessive and paranoid state that was impossible to communicate with. To be honest, he didn't want to face that kind of state where he couldn't get through to her, she was just immersed in her own world, unable to communicate, unable to exchange ideas, and was crazy for a goal.

Talking to her was useless, and he couldn't beat her, which was the summary of his embarrassing escape experience during this time.

"What are your next plans?" Stephen asked Strange softly. They had already eaten breakfast, so they just ate a little of the food on the table as a formality.

"Go back to my original universe," Strange shrugged. He felt that he was no longer needed here.

"It's right to go back. But if there's nothing going on there, you can also come here to study to deal with subsequent troubles," Stephen reminded.

"Subsequent troubles?" Strange subconsciously glanced at the Scarlet Witch, who was playing enthusiastically with the two children and enjoying their company.

"She's just the current trouble," Stephen also noticed Strange's gaze and took the initiative to explain. "The subsequent trouble is regulating the fluctuations in other universes. You need to know that a universe is a very precise system, and it's very sensitive. Even a planet has the butterfly effect. The chaos you've caused by traveling through various universes can't be without aftereffects. If some Strange Doctors in some universes, that is, us, have already died, then things might be even worse."

Strange nodded when he heard this. He couldn't understand Stephen's words. Even if the other party didn't remind him, he would inevitably think of this possibility and face this problem that must be faced after a while.

"We have rich experience in dealing with this, we are professional and skilled. But after all, it's the trouble you caused, so you should solve it yourself. But I can provide you with some help, how about it?" Stephen put his hand on Strange's shoulder and said with a smile.

"I always feel like you're scheming something," Strange looked at the hand on his shoulder and sensitively noticed something strange.

"I'm just clarifying the division of responsibilities! I already have a lot of things to do, don't add to my troubles!" Stephen didn't take it to heart that Strange could detect his calculations. After all, he was another version of himself, the most familiar stranger, so it was not surprising that he noticed. He didn't intend to do anything to Strange, he just wanted to pull him into his Strange Doctor work team.

"No problem," Strange nodded. If there were any changes in the universes that he and the Scarlet Witch had passed through, it was indeed his responsibility, and it was right for Stephen to assign the responsibility to him to deal with it. He didn't intend to shirk responsibility. What's more, he was also very curious about this universe, especially the Kamar-Taj in this universe.

When learning to deal with these problems, borrowing some magic books from Kamar-Taj shouldn't be refused, right? Strange thought. (End of this chapter)
