On a distant planet, deep in the outer rim, there is a strange planet whose surface appears to be reddish brown and white when viewed from space.

Descending to the planet itself, you'll find that this is indeed the case, as the planet is mostly composed of rock, barren deserts, and some mesas, as well as intricate caves with occasional corals and rock formations.

As the nearby sun began to set on the horizon, an owl-like bird flew overhead along with several other species.

This bird, called the Conferidae, is found on a handful of planets and is a special species to many people.

Currently, a small flock of these owl-like birds is flying towards a specific destination.

Flying over the barren landscape, the Confer bird eventually flew over a meteorite crater.

At the center of the crater was a lone creature, a humanoid dressed in green.

The creature floated in place until his eyes fluttered open, optics spinning inside his retinas.

After a moment, one of the comfreys came down from its perch and sat comfortably on his shoulders, ruffling its feathers before settling down.

He smiled slightly, glanced at the cute owl-like bird, then frowned and reached out to touch his forehead.

His fingers brushed against a glowing yellow stone embedded in his head, which jumped several times, causing him to drop to the ground and stand up.

He continued to rub his forehead as he heard a loud movement behind him.

"What's troubling you, friend?" a deep voice asked from behind.

The humanoid didn't look back, but said, "I felt something..."

The huge creature nodded with a satisfied look on his face. "Ah~ Well, you can finally explore the untapped power of the stone on your forehead. Tell me, what do you feel?

"Trouble..." said the humanoid.

"Please, please tell me..."

“…an old enemy.

The huge creature pondered for a moment, recalling the stories his companions had told him since his arrival here.

"You mean the man who called you back to your hometown?"

"Yes."

"You believe this Ultron is still alive, is that right?"

"He and I are from here," he placed a hand on the gem on his forehead. "He and I... like Pietro and Wanda, we are connected to this stone.

His giant companion simply lowered himself into his line of sight and stared at him intently.

"So what do you want to do, Vision?"

The Avenger simply frowned, staring at the ancient creature before him.

"I want...to return to my friends. They need me more than ever. Vision said with a determined look in his eyes.

"But are you really ready?"

"I've beaten him before."

"But will this be like last time?"

"Whatever happens, I can't just sit there and watch."

The massive creature moved back, looking at Vision with a thoughtful frown.

"I can only teach you so much, my friend." The man said with a slightly wistful expression. "I know very little about the Infinity Stones. In the entire galaxy, few have encountered such stones with unimaginable power.

"I appreciate your teachings, Bendu." Vision nodded gratefully. "But this must end. I need to be reunited with my team now."

Bendu, the ancient force user stared at Vision for a long moment, then finally nodded.

"So let's start looking at what we can do to prepare for your reunion."

……

On the other side of the Milky Way, on a darker red planet, a young girl wearing the same red dress was walking through a forest.

What is her destination?

A small hut built at the entrance of a large temple.

The little girl ran towards the cabin at a faster pace, and as she got closer she soon began to grin.

Finally, she drew aside the curtain and immediately spotted the person she was looking for.

With a bright smile, the little girl immediately ran over and jumped onto the sleeping body of the woman on the bed.

The woman let out a loud "Ouch" and the girl began to press her hands on the groggy lady's shoulders.

"What's wrong..." the woman moaned loudly.

“Come on. Come on!” the little girl said with an undaunted smile. “You promised we would spend this day together.”

“Isn’t it still dark now?” the woman lamented, gently pushing away the girl who had her firmly on top of her and quickly plopped down on top of her.

"But I can't wait~" the girl sobbed loudly.

The woman under the quilt moaned helplessly, and the child kept trying to help her stand up.

"Don't you understand how much I enjoy my sleep, Merlin."

"How can you sleep all day?" Merlin asked, puffing up his cheeks.

The woman pinned by the child smiled at Merlin's behavior and used one arm to ruffle the girl's hair. "When you grow up, you will understand better."

"Wanda~" Merlin shouted angrily. "You know this hairstyle will take a long time to complete."

Wanda Maximoff laughed softly and finally managed to push Merlin off of her, causing him to fall to the other side of the bed.

"Hey!" Merlin yelled, only to be hit in the face with a pillow.

Tossing it aside, she saw Wanda with her back to her, curled up in her blankets again.

"Oh, no, you don't."

Merlin was about to jump on Wanda again, but was caught in mid-air by some crimson ethereal energy.

"Wanda!" Merlin waved in the air. "It's not fair, and you know it!"

Maximoff only gave her a mischievous and smug smile, and one of her hands came out from under the blanket, with crimson energy on her fingers. Slowly turning her hand, Merlin was lowered to the ground.

The young child raised his arms and hunched his shoulders, preparing to try to pounce on the Earth woman again, but was met with another wall of scarlet energy.

"Hey!"

"Okay, okay, I'm up. You don't have to keep doing this, you know. Wanda said in obvious amusement.

"I know, Wanda, but I really want to play."

Mrs. Soko rolled her eyes, threw back the covers, got out of bed, and stretched.

Wanda breathed a sigh of satisfaction, walked to a cabinet in the cabin, opened it, took out some clothes and put them on.

Meanwhile, Merlin sat on Wanda's bed, legs swinging idly, waiting for her.

Putting on her scarlet jacket, Wanda turned to Merlin, smiled, and held out her hand.

Merlin chuckled and happily jumped off Wanda's bed, running over to the mutant human and squeezing her hand tightly.

She began to pull Wanda towards the exit of her cabin, but Wanda stopped.

Merlin glanced back at her in confusion. "Wanda?"

The Earthling simply looked back to the corner of her hut and she found what she was looking for.

It was a red triangular prism, glowing faintly and flashing with blood-red energy.

Frowning, Wanda quickly shook her hands and the prism was immediately stuffed under her bed.

"Wanda?"

"nothing."

With that, Mrs. Soko stuffed her hands into her coat and walked outside.

"Aren't you coming?"

Merlin smiled and followed behind her sister, their feet scraping on the gravel.

At this time, the sun began to rise slowly over the plains covered with red mist.

Scarlet Witch exhaled softly as she thought back to her time on the strange magical planet and the added feeling of what she could only describe as some strange pressure.

No matter where she was, Dathomir was the only place she could call home.

at present...

"Wanda~"

Maximov smiled.

As bad as her situation was, it wasn't all bad now.

But as an Avenger, she knew that one day she would need to find a way to leave this planet and enter this vast and unexplored galaxy.

In her heart, she knew her friends and teammates were there waiting for her, just as she was waiting for them.

She would find them.
