Dr Strange and Wong were currently looking through the ancient ones books, trying to see if there were a way to bypass the dissintegrated time stone, and use a different method to harness the eye of agamottos powers, a way where they could harness the energy of the time stones powers even though it had disintegrated into molecular space dust.

Wanda and Vision were sitting across from one another as they spoke of how Wanda might be able to focus the false mind stone as a beacon to seek out the tesseract.

"Maybe we should try? and if it hurts then we will stop"

she said, a wary smile gracing her lips.

Vision nodded, reaching a hand out to hold hers to reassure her.

"Ofcourse"

Wanda took a second, calling her power into her hands, she looked at the red energy and found herself talking aloud towards her power, a gesture that Vision found utterly beautiful as she said.

"Dont hurt him"

Wanda glanced to Vision and smiled, he returned the gesture and closed his eyes.

"I'm ready when you are"

With that Wanda sent out her powers to gently caress the vibranium stone before seeping inside, the stone didnt pull at her power, it appeared as though the stone trusted the red energy and willingly allowed it entry as Wanda began to set her mind to the tesseract, forcing its image into the stone and Visions mind, hoping that there would be a reaction.

There wasnt.

She pulled her powers away and frowned.

Vision smiled an all knowing smile and once again took her hand in his, he lifted her fingers to his lips and laid gentle kisses along the lines of each finger as he spoke

"Your not trying.."

Wanda who had blushed from the intimate touch was now frowning once more.

"I am"

Vision looked at her, a sad smile creeping along his lips.

"I've seen you try, that wasnt trying"

She stood and turned to leave.

Vision sighed and glanced down to the floor, he knew that it hurt her to be reminded of such a terrible thing, but it was the truth and thanks to his memory now returned, he could feel it all over again, he remembered how she wasnt trying in the beginning - she didnt want him to die, but after pleading with her.. she tried and he felt it, he felt the tightening of her powers as it encased the mind stone, the cracking of the gem as her powers engulfed it and then.. peace.

He knew how her powers felt when she truly tried and had to push her, even if she didnt like it - He didnt like it much either.

Wanda had found herself on the upper floor of the sanctum sanctorum, trying to hold back the angry tears that dared to surface when Carol Danvers approached.

"Hey.."

Wanda's head snapped to face the woman, her eyes brimming with the scarlet energy as her anger was still dancing along the surface of her emotions.

Carol held her hands up and stepped back.

"You ok?"

Wanda sighed and pushed the power back, holding a hand to her temple as she spoke

"I'm fine.."

Carol nodded and then stepped forward

"I'm sorry about earlier.. I shouldn't have worded things the way that I did.."

she frowned at herself

Wanda nodded

"Its fine, finding Loki takes presendence, I understand that"

Carol nodded and turned on her heel to leave for Dr Strange to see if he had found any more information on Lokis whereabouts.


Wanda had been glancing around the artifacts in the room, calling out her power to touch some, to feel the power that some of the artifacts held when she came across a case holding a golden bracelet.

It was an astoundingly crafted piece of jewellery, the gold bangle had green and blue tendrils laced around it and a red stone sitting in the centre, probably a ruby? Wanda mused as she eyed the gem.

Calling out a small swift of power, Wanda caressed the bangle and was shocked to feel a power pull at her, call her name.

She pulled her power away and cocked her head as she debated on if that actually happened, when Wong approached her.

When did he show up?Wong smiled as he glanced between the bangle and Wanda.

"The heart of Clea has chosen you"

"I'm sorry, what?"

Wanda looked at Wong and then back at the bangle, feeling the pulling sensation as though she were a magnet, drawn to the ethereal item.

Wong opened the case, pulling the bangle out and handing it to Wanda

"Try it on"

Wanda slipped the bangle over her wrist and found herself surging with underlying power, her eyes were now glowing green, blue, red and gold.

"..What is this..?"

she lifted her hand to look at the stone, feeling the energy brimming through her body

Wong smiled as he watched her, Dr Strange and Carol entered along with Vision who now looked terribly worried as he watched Wanda levitate with an unknown power consuming her.

"What's happening?"

He asked Strange, his voice was stern and confused.

Strange shook his head as he replied

"I'm not sure, but I would not worry too much. I've never seen the heart of Cleas magic before, but I doubt it would harm Miss Maximoff"

Wanda looked at Vision and smiled reassuringly, instantly calming the synthezoid.

She closed her eyes as she felt the power of the bracelet melt into her scarlet energy, becoming one, becoming.. something new.

She opened her eyes and the colours that were passing through her irises had now stilled, stopping on her red scarlet energy once again.

She gravitated to the floor and fell to her knees.

Vision instantly glided to her side and cradled her in his arms.

"Are you ok?"

His voice was dripping with concern and fear, Wanda held her hand to his cheek and kissed his lips softly as she replied.

"I'm fine..."

she frowned, turning to Strange and Wong as she asked

"What is this?"

she held up her wrist to point to the bracelet

Strange smiled as he opened a portal, pulling out an old book and opening it to read the page.

"Its the Heart of Clea, an ancient sorcerer supreme who had saved the life of her lover by giving away her soul, encasing it in a gem that would hold her power, but it could only be used by one that she deemed worthy... nobody else had ever fit that bill, until you"

he looked up from the book to Wanda

Wanda took a moment to feel for any presence within the gem, she felt nothing, no soul, no being.. just.. power and remorse.

"You will both need training to decipher any new abilities that you might have been granted with these new stones"

Wong spoke and they both nodded in agreement


A/N-

I fear I'm creating a massive story again...

I hope you liked this chapter, I'm still not too fond of the name of the bracelet, but I feel like it fits?

Clea is the name of a deciple that becomes Stranges lover in the comics, I think? and it's so difficult thinking of a name as cool as Agamotto
