Osborne Megacorp

"What are they doing?"

It was another new day. Wanda walked out of her hut, but what she saw was beyond her comprehension: people in the town lined up in front of the contraband warehouse...

And Frank is sending those contrabands to them!

"Mr. Custer, what are you doing-"

boom!

A cloud of purple smoke exploded in front of her eyes, and before her eyes, a scene... a scene?

In the scene formed by the smoke, she is living a happy life with her husband Vision, who works thousands of miles away. Her brother Pietro and she still work in the same company, and they can go out for picnics with the couple from time to time.

Most importantly, the couple seems to be planning to have a child...

"Child..." Wanda murmured to herself, and each scene made her shed tears - although she didn't know why she shed tears.

Vision...couldn't it be that he went to work far away just because of different ideas?

Pietro...didn't he come to live in the United States because of his preferences?

It's not like I...will never see them again?

Can I... really still see them?

The torn memory slowly awakened in her mind. She gradually lowered her head, and the whole town in her head began to flash violently!

"Ms. Maximov, dreams will always be dreams. I'm sorry for what happened to you."

"Are you...that Harry Osborn?"

call!

Wanda waved one hand, and the red magic shattered the smoke.

"I just want to live a normal life - don't, hit, bother me!"

The terrifying magic power surged violently, but the sound still did not disappear.

"Are you talking about this kind of life that requires hundreds of thousands of my employees to lose their freedom and play house with you? Do you know what impact your magic will have on the consciousness of ordinary people?

First, they'll be in pain, then their consciousness will begin to tear apart, and finally they'll become paralyzed -- you're killing people, Wanda. "

Speaking of killing, the experience of feeding on humans came back to her mind. This intense emotional fluctuation made her want to continue to mobilize the magic power of chaos to do other things, but she was surprised to find that the magic power had stagnated!

Just outside the beehive, employees of the Osborne Group have set up new rune arrays outside the beehive. These arrays will output chaotic magic in a specific way, offset the expansion of the beehive, and gradually dispel the magic box. .

If she even abandons her magic power...Wanda is at a loss.

The purple smoke condensed again and surrounded her.

"But I'm not here to accuse you. I understand that you are in pain, so do you want to end this pain?"

Wanda raised her head and said with red eyes: "You want to kill me? Then you..."

"Not to kill you, I said, to help you end your pain - the picture I showed you was not false, but real, the life of Wanda Maximoff."

"Real...existence?" Wanda said blankly, and then she remembered Vision's guess, "You mean, parallel universe?"

"Yes, ma'am, but parallel universes can't change your experience, so I say, I'm very sorry for your experience.

But there is a way to end your pain - to integrate into another self, your pain will be passed on to her, and her life... can dissolve these emotions of yours. "

Wanda is eager to end this pain, but her brain has not completely lost its intelligence.

She sneered and said: "So? Doesn't this also kill me? Absorb everything about me and erase my existence..."

"Madam, have you forgotten that Wanda in another universe is also Wanda. Instead of living with regret and pain, she chooses to become, or let go of the past, embrace herself in another universe and welcome a new tomorrow. Is it possible? Is it not good?"

Harry's voice obviously didn't change, but it had a confusing feeling.

Just like the devil who persuades people to commit suicide: as long as you have the courage to give up your life, all pain will end.

But it’s not the devil. Wanda didn’t want to think. Everything she had lost quickly flashed through her mind. The more she thought about it, the more painful it became:

Pietro, her brother who depended on her for life, if he was still alive, she would no longer have to bear these sufferings and regrets alone, and they could go home together every year during their parents' memorial day.

In this world, not to mention Pietro, even Sokovia has disappeared on the map, and the family they once had has disappeared without even a trace.

Vision... If he hadn't done those things, he wouldn't have... eaten so many innocent people.

If he can... kill himself for justice, at least he can still retain the belief called "justice" and fight for other unfortunate people.

But now I am the murderer who caused the misfortune...

If... Vision could kill himself for justice...

Wanda's thinking has inevitably been thinking in this direction: If these illusions are removed, what else can she live for?

After using Chaos Magic to change this place, Wanda has been driving Frank to pack up those psychic devices. Before her subconscious could formulate something to support her survival, Chaos Magic was controlled.

If she had two children conjured up like in WandaVision, she might not be able to fall into this state easily.

Even Wanda next to Harry couldn't know this--

Purple mist lingered in the space, constantly playing out the details of the deal, as well as what she would gain and lose, get rid of the pain, and the price of getting rid of the pain, everything was written clearly.

"So, what are your options?"

Should we continue to live in pain, or seek relief?

It is easiest for people to choose relief when they are emotionally excited - Wanda is the Scarlet Witch, but mentally, she is just a helpless girl who has been tortured.

It just so happened that this was the time when she was most excited.

"I...I want to be free."

Around her, the red beehives began to dissolve.

......

In the laboratory, Wanda from the Osborne Group sighed.

Because she was so empathetic, she did not dissuade her other self, telling her "things will get better" and living in that world with pain in her arms.

After losing Pietro and being raised with human flesh by Vision, his faith was shattered. Even the earth has less than 7 million people left...

They vowed to tell the world that they would protect the world, but they failed.

She didn't know what to use to comfort her other self, and told her boldly: Live bravely and things will get better.

"The deal is done, we can start. By the way, this thing should be able to help you complete the fusion."

As he spoke, Harry took out the Soul Stone from the air.

Harry said to the Soul Stone in his mind: "Read well and study well. They are both a fusion between different universes. I think the two should have something in common."

After taking the soul gem, Wanda smiled bitterly and said, "Boss, you really don't miss any opportunity, right?"

“If not, how do you make everyone happy?”

In other words, everyone is willing to work for the Osborne Group?

"Okay, Frank, let's start eliminating the quantum virus. Let's see if there are any unexpected gains."
