A videotape started up on the TV.
Wong woke up and began his work day.
The library was, as always, huge and beautiful, a pile of shelves of books and a
a large table in the middle with ancient books on it.
Wong put the ancient books back in their places on the shelves and sat down in his chair. All he had to do today was guard; he opened the drawer and took the tablet out of it.
He placed the tablet on the stand and began watching the fifth season of
"American Horror Story."
A couple of hours later, he heard strange noises in the far corner of the library
Stop. Stop. An audio recording came on in the background.
Mobius:
Recording 1. Case 789.
Wong. Supreme Wizard of Earth 616. The one who betrayed the entire multiverse by showing the Scarlet Witch the Temple of Xton. Have you been briefed on us yet?
Wong:
Yes. They showed your video. Timeline, Sacred Kang and Miss Minute. Schizophrenia, right?
Mobius:
Don't judge us, we're times bigger than you. We're all-powerful, practically. Now, you're here for a reason. Something happened in the multiverse.
Wong:
And what's that? Is the pizza gone?
Mobius:
No, a couple thousand Wand Maximoffs. I'll tell you more about that. The Scarlet Witch appeared in your universe in the year 2023, this has actually never happened before. There's only one Scarlet Witch in the entire multiverse, and then she shows up in your 616. Our attention has been riveted on her.
One year later, in the spring of 2024. There is an energy surge in the Temple of Chthon, it seemed that the Scarlet Witch was dead. Six months later, it's now October 2024 in your universe. And imagine a couple of days ago, variants of Wanda from the other universe one by one disappeared, vaporized into ashes and what not.
Coming to the scene of the disappearance, all we noticed was nothing. Not a single trace of them. They had just evaporated, and if there were children, the children had also evaporated. You have no idea how shocked everyone was at TVA. We didn't know what to do. And then all of a sudden you're in the library, and it's the perfect moment to catch you.
Wong:
You caught me to find out where those options disappear to?
Mobius:
Right. You're just familiar with the multiverse.
Wong:
Well as I understand it, you know everything that's going to happen next. And I think you know very well that I'm going to say no.
Mobius:
Oh, you won't refuse to help us. You're going to deny help to thousands of Wanda options. And you'll leave them gone forever.
Wong:
Okay. What do you want me to do?
Mobius:
To follow one version of Wanda Maximoff. More specifically, the Zombie version.
John Doe switches the audio recording.
Mobius:
Recording 2. Case 789.
Are you ready for the mission, Wong?
Wong: I am.
Mobius:
Fine, I'll come to you.
you can hear Mobius surreptitiously putting a wire on Wong* Go ahead.
John Doe switches the audio recording.
Mobius:
Recording 3. Case 789.
How's it going?
Wong:
13 25.
All right, arrived at the scene. I see Wanda, I'm watching.
Mobius:
Good. Don't forget to tell time in the universe when you speak.
Wong:
16.56
Headed home, sat in a cafe for half a day. Apparently hiding from everyone that she's a zombie.
17.43
Got home. She is resting, does not see anything suspicious.
18.00
I don't see Wanda at home, so I go inside.
18.10
Entered the apartment, strange sounds can be heard from the next room. Going into it. Al...
I LOST THE CONNECTION.
Mobius:
Wong, what is it? Talk to me! Response team to Wong 616 now!
Response Team:
Wong 616 is unconscious on the floor, and he has chaos magic residue on him. Take samples.
Mobius:
At least the remnants of magic are there, send Wong 616 to me.
Unknown switches the audio recording.
Mobius:
Recording 4. Case 789.
Wong 616 has been brought to me, he has forgotten everything. The last thing he remembers is a lot of blood on the floor. Apparently, we're left with nothing again...
notice*
The results of the remnants of the chaos magic came back... It's... isn't zombie magic. It's the magic of all the variants that have disappeared in the last few days...
It's very strange...
Miss Minute:
MOBIUS! A sample of chaos magic was stolen, just now. From the description, it's the Scarlet Witch.
Mobius:
What are you standing around for! Let's go deal with it!
The unknown man turned off the audio recording. He was in the dark, there was nothing but the nightstand on which the tape recorder stood, suddenly a woman approached him.
- Is that all you could steal? A sample and a couple of records?! - the unidentified man said grudgingly.
- Yes, sorry... - said the woman in black.
- Excuse me? Do you have any idea what she'll do to us? She is omnipotent and we are bugs. - The John Doe screamed indignantly.
TO BE CONTINUED.
