I'm back! We get to see what happens next! Welcome back to...Wanda Completely Screws Up the Timeline! Enjoy!
I end up on the floor of the training room. As I start to stand up, a hand extends down to help me up. I gratefully accept his gesture and I look up to find myself staring into piercing, crystal blue eyes. A sob escapes my mouth and I quickly hug him. He doesn't hesitate to return the embrace. After he finally lets go, I take a look around. The compound doesn't seem different.
"Geez, Wanda. What happened?" He asks holding his head in his hand.
"Um..you...fainted," I say, "Something happened and you just hit the floor. It looked like you had died."
"Ohhhh! That's why you hugged me like that. I nod.
"How about we take a walk? Just around the compound," I suggest. Pietro looks kind of worried.
"Um...Wanda. I don't think that's a good idea. I mean, you have, in fact, been around for the last two years, haven't you?"
"Wait. What are you talking about?"
"In case of short-term memory loss, look out the freaking window!" He snipes at me. I run over to the window.
"Oh my God! Why did this happen?" Ashes are everywhere. The people outside either have special suits and gas masks or are choking as they breathe in the toxic chemicals.
"Wow. Something happened to you. Did you hit your head?"
"No. At least, I don't think I did."
"Ultron. Remember him? Big, bad robot dude who tried to kill me and Clint?" I nod. "Well, he got pissed off that we cheated him, so he did the only thing any sensible person would do. Killed Tony Stark. After that, he got ahold of a couple of nukes and bam here we are." I stumble back. Tony is dead. The Iron Man is dead.
"He's dead then. All because of a robot I helped create."
"You didn't create him! That murderer Tony did. I never trusted him, even though I fought alongside him." I look around wildly.
"I need to find Stephen."
"Who?"
"Stephen Strange. He's the only one who can fix this! I have to find him!"
"Earth to Wanda! You can't go out there! Or were you not paying attention during the history lesson there?" I don't see any gas masks, but he can't be that far away, can he? I run to the front door, but it's barricaded. With a flick of my fingers, I force the doors open, red magic spewing everywhere. I hear Pietro's voice behind me. I run out into the cold, gray Earth that used to be New York. I take one breath and immediately feel dizzy. "Wanda, what are you doing? Wanda!" I trip over something but as I look down, I see nothing. I trip, again and again, this time not being able to regain my balance. The last thing I am aware of is Pietro's feet pounding over to me and catching me as I fall. Then, my world goes black, and I feel nothing else.
Oh no! What happens to Wanda? Will she live? Next chapter coming soon!
