Chapter 696: Everything for the Children
Wanda and Quicksilver, the two siblings, were burdened with pain and hatred before joining the Avengers. In order to seek revenge on Tony Stark, they chose to cooperate with the crazy artificial intelligence Ultron.
But this does not mean that the two siblings are villains with ill intentions. They have a simple view of good and evil. They were initially recruited by Ultron because Ultron promised to transform the world into a better and more peaceful place.
After joining the Avengers, the performance of the two siblings was naturally not bad. Quicksilver sacrificed himself to save people, and Wanda paid a huge price in the battle against Thanos, and even killed her lover Vision with her own hands.
In any case, this pair of siblings deserves the title of heroes!
But Wanda and Vision, as heroes, did not get the rewards they deserved. After Vision's death, his body was cut into pieces, and Wanda was used as a tool by the S.W.O.R.D., who set up a trap to frame her, and even regarded her as an enemy.
Think about Wanda's life again. Her parents died when she was a child, and her brother who depended on her for survival also died. She finally fell in love with a robot husband, but in the end she sacrificed herself to save the world, and even her body could not be preserved intact.
She could only create the illusion of a reunion in the environment she built to entertain herself, but even if it was for her own entertainment, it was a conspiracy trap designed by others, and later even this illusion was shattered.
Off the screen, Quicksilver's mind flashed through the future video of his sister Wanda, and suddenly felt that it seemed normal for his sister to turn evil?
Stephen Strange defended Wanda: "I think the problem is not with her, but with the Dark Book, which is an evil book that can bewitch people.
You have also seen Wanda's future video before. The witch Agatha was seduced and corrupted by the Dark Book. In the end, the Dark Book was obtained by Wanda. I think she must be unable to resist the erosion from the evil book."
Quicksilver frowned and stared at him: "I don't understand what you said. I only know one thing, even if Wanda wants to destroy the world, I will stand with her unswervingly! Of course, I believe she will not do this... This is the problem. Why did Wanda kidnap the American girl?"
Stephen Strange shrugged his shoulders and tapped the light screen with his chin.
After the questions were answered, the light screen began to play the subsequent video, but it was not Stephen Strange who appeared on the screen, but Wanda Maximoff, who was playing and laughing with two children, and the scene was very warm.
When she coaxed both children to sleep, she woke up from the bed. It turned out that the happy and warm family scene just now was all a dream...
Stephen Strange saw this and said in a deep voice: "Dreams may be projections of the multiverse, just like at the beginning I dreamed of another me protecting an American girl from the monster's pursuit. Maybe in a parallel multiverse, Wanda lives happily with her children."
Peter Parker scratched his head: "But she in the multiverse has nothing to do with her in this world, right? Uh, this is a bit confusing. Let me think, if in another multiverse, I, Spider-Man..."
Pietro Maximoff interrupted him: "Come on, you don't have to join. We have all seen you in the multiverse, and there are two of them.
I understand what you mean. People in the multiverse, even if they look like us and have the same personality and temper, are still two people. What he has experienced and has, does not mean that I have the same."
Quicksilver said this with a hint of meaning. As Wanda's brother, after watching Wanda's future video before, he could roughly guess what kind of vision the sister in the video had.
Her husband is gone, and her two children are probably her weakness and pursuit. Perhaps it is because of this that she wants to go to other multiverses?
In the video on the light screen, Wanda, who woke up from a beautiful dream, had tears in her eyes and a look of melancholy on her face.
Since the illusion of Westview, she has been away from the secular world and came to this remote place to live alone. She often misses the warm and beautiful time of the family of four in the illusion of Westview.
On this day, a guest came.
Stephen Strange came to visit her. The two strolled in a pear grove. After reminiscing about the past, Wanda took the initiative to mention the matter of Westview. She suspected that Doctor Strange came to ask for punishment for the matter of Westview.
But Stephen Strange denied it. As a comrade-in-arms who had fought side by side, Stephen Strange trusted Wanda. At least at this time, he trusted her very much.
It was also because of this trust that Stephen Strange told the story of the mysterious girl and also stated his purpose, hoping to get Wanda's help.
Doctor Strange and Wong previously speculated that the monsters chasing the mysterious girl all had traces of witchcraft runes, so they thought of the Scarlet Witch.
Of course, at this time, Stephen Strange did not suspect that Wanda was the mastermind behind the pursuit of America, but simply thought that Wanda could help.
After learning that Doctor Strange had taken America to Kamar-Taj, Wanda couldn't help but ask him: "Why not bring America here directly?"
Stephen Strange looked strange and suddenly stopped.
Outside the light screen, Stephen Strange raised his eyebrows and said: "I didn't tell Wanda the name of the girl in the video, and she accidentally revealed a flaw."
While speaking, he also deliberately winked at Spider-Man, indicating that he should watch and learn more.
Peter Parker was a little embarrassed, thinking that if he were in the future, he would probably not notice this problem, so he would be deceived by Mysterio.
Quicksilver murmured at this time: "I understand why she did this... for the children, for a family."
He looked at his sister in the video, who was thin and haggard, and felt as if his heart was being grasped by someone, and he felt indescribably uncomfortable.
In the light screen video, Wanda also realized that she was exposed, and turned to look at Stephen Strange: "You never said her name, right?"
"Yes, you didn't." Doctor Strange staggered his steps, and although he still put his hands in his pockets, he also took a clear defensive posture.
At this time, Wanda no longer needed to hide it. She slowly raised her hand and clenched her fist. The crimson halo flowed from her hand like a curtain, and then revealed the truth...
It turned out that the beautiful pear blossom grove they were in was all an illusion!
Wanda had clearly told Stephen Strange before that she did not cast an illusion, which was obviously a lie.
In the illusion, there were dead trees with slightly strange and hideous shapes, and the green grass turned into a barren black land. Wanda herself completed the change of clothes silently.
