Chapter Text

Earth-62338

Kamar-Taj

May 4th, 2021

 

 

Strange stood in the Sanctum, Eye of Agamotto around his neck. Wanda and Vision entered, Wanda wearing the Cloak and Vision bearing the Time Stone in his head, Thunderstrike affixed to his waist, and a case in his hand.

 

"You two ready?" Strange asked.

 

"We are." Wanda nodded. Wanda opened the Eye, revealing the Reality Stone within. She opened a portal with his Sling Ring, and Wanda and Vision stepped through. The portal closed, and Robbie Reyes entered the room.

 

"How long will they be gone?" Robbie asked.

 

"However long they need." Strange explained.

 

"Cool." Robbie nodded. "Weirdly poetic, but cool."

 

 

Earth-26462

Vormir

July 22nd, 2011

 

 

Wanda and Vision stepped out of the portal and onto the chilly mountaintops of Vormir. The Stonekeeper descended.

 

"Wanda, daughter of Erik. Vision, son of Anthony." Schmidt smiled.

 

"My father's name wasn't Erik." Wanda narrowed her eyes.

 

"You may be psychic, but you don't know everything." The Stonekeeper smiled. He held out his hand. Vision opened his case and pulled out the Soul Stone.

 

"A soul for a soul." Vision said.

 

"Indeed. Though you are not of this world. Rocket's soul will remain in this reality." Red Skull explained.

 

"We know. Can we... See him, though?" Wanda asked. Schmidt waved his hand, and Rocket's body came to the top of the Altar. An apparition of Rocket then appeared from within his body.

 

"Witch Lady? Robot Guy? We won, right?" Rocket asked.

 

"Yes." Vision nodded.

 

"Who else died?" Rocket's eyes filled with sorrow and fear.

 

"Clint and Bruce." Wanda answered sadly. Rocket gave a mild sigh of relief.

 

"I know you guys can't get me out of here but... Can you record a message for me? For the Guard... For my family." Rocket asked.

 

"Of course." Wanda smiled sadly.

 

 

Earth-76937

Morag

August 1st, 2011

 

 

Wanda and Vision stepped out of a portal onto the rainy surface of Morag.

 

"Have I mentioned I hate humidity?" Wanda noted.

 

"Every time we're somewhere humid." Vision replied. "But you're consistent, and that's a boon for anyone."

 

"Boon?"  Wanda said, confused. The two stepped up the door of the Temple of the Power Stone. Vision took Wanda's hand and phased the two of them through the door. Wanda let go, taking the Power Stone contained in the Orb from Vision's case. She pushed it into the field, but released a second too late and singed her fingertips. "Ow! Sranje!" She swore. Vision walked over to her and took her injured hand in his.

 

"Careful, darling." He smiled, the Time Stone glowing. The mandala dial appeared on his arm and he turned his hand, healing Wanda's arm.

 

"Thanks, Visz."

 

 

Earth-77223

Mar-Vell's Orbital Laboratory

December 12th, 1988

 

 

Wanda and Vision stepped out of a portal into the room where the Tesseract was housed. Vision slipped the Cube out of the case and raised it up to the machine.

 

"Excuse me." A familiar voice came from behind. The two turned, seeing Talos with a blaster pointed at him.

 

"Hey, hey. We're returning the Tesseract. We're not from this reality. We had to borrow the Space Stone." Wanda explained.

 

"How do I know you're telling the truth?" Talos asked.

 

"Your daughter's name is N'erini. She's four years old." Vision explained. Talos lowered his blaster slowly.

 

"I haven't told anyone not on this station that." Talos realized. "Where you come from, are my people..."

 

"Safe, yes. You did well." Wanda smiled. Talos sighed a sigh of relief, and Vision slid the Tesseract back into the machine.

 

 

Earth-274273

Asgard

October 26th, 2007

 

 

Heimdall stood watch over the Bifrost, turning when he heard a portal close behind him. He turned, seeing Wanda and Vision.

 

"Hello, Heimdall." Vision greeted.

 

"Hello. Returning the Reality Stone?" Heimdall asked.

 

"And the Gauntlet." Wanda added. Heimdall gave a look of pondering.

 

"May I see the Time Stone?" He asked. Vision popped the Stone from his head and offered it and the Gauntlet to Heimdall. The Asgardian Watchman put the Gauntlet on and slotted the Time Stone into it, considering the future. He opened his eyes, removed the Gauntlet, and gave it back to Vision. "I'll take my world's Reality Stone, but that Gauntlet is for you to use now."

 

"Thank you." The Scarlet Witch smiled, placing the red Infinity Stone in Heimdall's hand. He looked down at it, and when he looked up, the two Avengers were gone.

 

 

Earth-926849

Sokovia

April 21st, 2015

 

 

Wanda and Vision emerged in the bowels of HYDRA's castle, the alternate Wanda and Pietro looking at them.

 

"You're back." The alternate Wanda noted.

 

"Yes." The Scarlet Witch replied. Vision pulled the Mind Stone contained within the Sceptre from his case and set it back where Wanda had found it.

 

"Who's this?" The alternate Pietro asked, motioning to Vision.

 

"The love of my life." Wanda smiled. The alternate Pietro got the look of an overprotective brother on his face, causing both versions of his sister to chuckle.

 

"I... Just... Take care of my sister, yeah?" Pietro ordered Vision.

 

"If I don't, the version of you in our world will be sure to make me regret it." Vision smiled, looking at Wanda.

 

 

Kamar-Taj

May 4th, 2021

 

 

Strange and Robbie stood together as Wanda and Vision emerged.

 

"How long were we gone?" The Sorceress Supreme asked.

 

"About... 20 minutes?" Robbie looked at his watch.

 

"Good, no more three year time skip bullshit." Wanda smiled. Vision then took the Infinity Gauntlet from the case.

 

"Heimdall gave this to us. Mr. Reyes, could you lock it away somewhere safe?" Vision handed the Ghost Rider the Gauntlet. Robbie nodded, took the glove, pulled his chain from around his shoulder, and created a flaming portal which he then stepped through.

 

"We're going to need that someday, won't we?" Doctor Strange noted.

 

"Yeah, it's seems too obvious of a weapon to never need it." Wanda replied. A nearby screen began to buzz, which Vision walked over to.

 

"It's the Guardians. I wonder what went wrong." He explained.

Upstate New York

June 7th, 2021

 

 

Corvus, Proxima, and Tony stood in Tony's lab in the Avengers Facility.

 

"I'm retired from hero work, Corvus. I'm not retired from being a genius," Tony explained, pulling a rock from within a machine with his prosthetic arm. "And yeah, it's got trace amounts of Vibranium. Which is weird."

 

"According to Wakandan legend, it does have cosmic origins," Proxima piped up.

 

"I just wanted to get it away from Adam and Mantis because I was tired of them accidentally throwing it at my head," Corvus sighed.

 

"We should send it to Shuri," Peter said as he walked in with a man with brown hair and a beard wearing a gold and green suit resembling Thor and Doctor Strange's.

 

"Hey, kid." Tony smiled, walking over to Peter and giving him a quick hug.

 

"Hey, Tony." Peter smiled back.

 

"Who's this?" Corvus asked, motioning to the man Peter came in with.

 

"Oh, right. Corvus, Proxima, Tony, this is Quentin Beck. Quentin, meet Corvus Glaive, Proxima Midnight, and Tony Stark," Peter explained. Quentin nodded.

 

"It's a pleasure." Quentin smiled, offering a handshake to the three. Tony snapped his metal fingers in realization.

 

"You're Mysterio!" He shouted. Quentin beamed at the recognition.

 

"I am, yeah!" He nodded.

 

"Quentin's from Earth, just not ours," Peter explained.

 

"Multiverse. Neat," Corvus nodded. "It was bound to happen again. The whole people crossing over. At least it's not another supervillain."

 

"Knock on wood," Tony chuckled. His metal hand then spasmed for a moment, causing him to drop the rock he was holding. Quentin summoned a magical glyph, catching the rock. "Thanks." Tony nodded. Quentin smiled back.

 

"Glad to help again, Tony," Mysterio said. Tony gave him a confused look. "Right, sorry. I, uh, I haven't really explained where I come from. See, I'm from a world where HYDRA managed to launch Insight at a reduced rate. Captain America and Falcon destroyed two carriers, but HYDRA got one to work. A resistance against them rose, led by the Avengers."

 

"Who died?" Tony asked.

 

"Millions. Of the heroes, we lost Stephen Strange, Bruce Banner, Scott Lang, Jane Foster, Marc Spector, Charles Xavier, and Steve Rogers." Beck sighed. "The Masters of the Mystic Arts went out in secret, recruiting new sorcerers to aid the Avengers. I was one of them." Quentin looked down at his hand, twisting his wedding ring. "I lost people to HYDRA." Tony gave a knowing nod. "Then when Thanos came, HYDRA refused to give up the Stones. He started tearing apart the world in search from them. Thor recovered the Aether from Knowhere and decided that there was no hope for our world. You, Hope van Dyne, and the Ancient One figured out how to bridge the Reality for one person. I was chosen to survive. They refused to tell me what number our reality was so I couldn't try to come back and save everyone."

 

"It's good to have you here." Proxima offered.

 

"Thanks." Quentin smiled sadly.

 

"He could use a place to live, though. He's been sleeping on my and May's couch." Peter asked. He gave Quentin a quick guilty look. "We love having him, he's really helpful. But, like, sleeping on a couch can't be comfortable."

 

"We can help him out, kid. Been meaning to get you and May an upgrade anyways. I can find a place with three bedrooms." Tony smiled at his protege's antics. Corvus grabbed a remote from the counter and unmuted a nearby TV.

 

"...robbery in progress at Cathay Bank has police in a standoff with a criminal in a suit of armour calling herself 'The Beetle'." The reporter explained.

 

"Quentin?" Peter asked.

 

"Race you there." Beck smiled.

 

 

Manhattan

June 7th, 2021

 

 

The Beetle stood above a group of civilians, energy cannons charged and ready.

 

"Where's my money? I don't have all day, let's go!" She demanded.

 

"You know, if you just waited in line like everyone else, you'd probably have your money by now." Spider-Man quipped from above. He landed in his traditional pose before standing.

 

"Really?" The Beetle laughed. "You're the only Avenger that they could have sent? No Captain America? No Winter Soldier? I'm insulted."

 

"He's not alone." Mysterio said, descending slowly with his arms crossed and a fishbowl-like helmet deployed over his head as green smoke billowed around him. He unfolded his arms, summoning two triangle shaped glyphs to his hands.

 

"What are you, green and male Scarlet Witch?" The Beetle asked. Quentin and Peter looked at each other, confused.

 

"As far as insults go, that was clunky as shit." Quentin shook his head.

 

"I really thought she was going to say Doctor Strange." Peter piped up. "But, I mean, Wanda's been publicly magical for way longer, so..." The Beetle then fired at the two heroes. Quentin raised the Shield of the Seraphim and Peter spun out of the way. "Mysterio, give me a lift!"

 

"You got it, Spider-Man." Quentin replied, summoning the Rings of Raggadorr with their signature boom boom whoosh. He tossed them, giving Spider-Man a platform to jump around the Beetle and tie a web around her. Mysterio then moved his arms around him, sending the Images of Ikonn out from himself. The copies all lifted into the air and spread out, putting their hands in front of them and creating a spinning motion somewhat like that Strange had used to dispel the debris kicked up by Ebony Maw's ship, except spinning in the opposite direction and ending in a clap. "By the Storms of Shu." A blast of air from each Image impacted the Beetle, who fell to her knees. Spider-Man jumped above the now disoriented supervillain and fired two web grenades, encasing her in a sticky cocoon. The Images of Ikonn that Mysterio generated returned to him.

 

"You think that'll hold her?" The Spectacular Web-Slinger asked. Beetle sent out an explosive pulse of energy from her armour, deploying four blade tipped arms and two wings as she rose.

 

"You had to jinx it." The Extradimensional Sorcerer sighed, summoning his triangle glyphs back to his hands and firing a blast that the Beetle narrowly avoided. Peter extended the Iron Spider legs and stepped into a fighting pose. The Beetle swung her blades around wildly at Spider-Man and Mysterio at high speeds as she zipped around in the air. Peter eyed a nearby pillar before looking at Mysterio.

 

"Like Prague!" Peter shouted, thwipping two webs onto the pillar.

 

"Good thinking." Quentin replied. "Shackles of Sheol!" Mysterio raised his hands above his head and closed his fist. Green chains rose from the ground and ensnared the Beetle as Peter pulled the pillar apart, using his webs and Iron Spider legs to hurl the debris at the Beetle. Her armour fractured and cracked as the lights and weapons began to flash. Spider-Man landed, walking over to her and deploying a small claw from his arm. He jabbed the Beetle's armour, tearing out a power core. "Well that was fun."

New Mexico

Los Alamos

July 20th, 1945

 

 

Peggy Carter stood with a man dressed in a blue suit, shaking her head.

 

"There's really nothing you can do?" Peggy asked.

 

"No, I'm afraid not." The man in the suit shook his head. "The President has passed on my Adaptoid project. The bombs are a go."

 

"Reed!" The voice of Howard Stark came from down the hall.

 

"It's Doctor Richards, Mr. Stark." Reed turned to him.

 

"It's Howard, Doctor Richards," Howard joked. "Listen, I've got an idea for your Adaptoids. I think I can work my car's jets to work on the scale of wings. It won't be true powered flight, of course. Making something the shape of a man fly is a pipe dream. But I think I can get you some building leaping at least."

 

"Truman already said no to the Adaptoids. Oppenheimer's bomb is going ahead." Reed sighed. "I should have known that was going to happen. The only other competition to the Manhattan Project was Horton's... All-Winners Squad."

 

"Ridiculous idea." Stark commented. "But damn it. He really wants the bombs?"

 

"He wants something flashy." Reed crossed his arms. "Ever since the States lost their Star-Spangled Man, Congress has wanted a bright show of power. The Adaptoids... Aren't that." He stroked his chin. "If you'll excuse me."

 

 

"Son of a gun!" A blonde woman groaned. "This is garbage."

 

"Calm down, Sue." A young man held his hand out.

 

"I am calm, Johnny." Sue rolled her eyes. "Damn Truman, cancelling a perfectly good idea in favour of something big and flashy. Apparently fire and invisibility aren't flashy enough."

 

"Well, I mean, your project being made of something called Unstable Molecules doesn't inspire confidence." A well built man piped up.

 

"I'm sorry, Ben, but who signed off on that name?" Sue asked.

 

"Fair point." Ben sighed.

 

"He doesn't have Captain America, so he wants new show." A woman with dark hair piped up, her Latverian accent thick. "Maybe give him show."

 

"Valeria, that's a great idea." Johnny pointed at Valeria, who smiled. "And I know exactly what kind of show we give him." Johnny looked at Ben. "We talked about making suits from Unstable Molecules. Let's do it. Put four of us in suits, have someone trigger a massive power source, prove that this stuff's as good as Cap's shield and better than any atom bomb."

 

"Yeah, I can do it." Ben nodded.

 

"I'll get Reed." Sue turned towards the door.

 

 

Reed ducked into a room, closing the door behind him. He pulled a small device from his suit jacket and set it on the table, activating it. A man appeared in a hologram before him dressed in a black and copper Panther Habit with a collared cape.

 

"King Azzuri." Reed bowed his head.

 

"Doctor Richards." Azzuri smiled slightly. "Was your Adaptoid project accepted?"

 

"No, I'm afraid not. That's why I'm contacting you." Reed shook his head. His voice was quiet and rushed. "I'm going to get charged with treason if it ever comes out that I told you this, but Oppenheimer's team did it. They've got a working atom bomb. Truman approved it for use on Japan."

 

"I cannot stop that from happening, Doctor." Azzuri's eyes narrowed slightly.

 

"I know. I just thought you should know. If America's got something like this, everyone's going to want one," Reed sighed. "I just didn't want you to get blindsided after everything you've done for me. The Vibranium for Captain America's shield, the stabilization chamber for the first batch of Unstable Molecules. I owed you, and my conscious wasn't going to let me forget it."

 

"Do you know what your next step is?"

 

"No. Knowing me, though, it will probably be some unbelievably risky idea that I have to spend a year's worth of research funds on only for there to be a chance I die horribly in the process," Reed chuckled.

 

"I certainly hope not, Doctor. I rather like your mind still in your body," Azzuri chuckled. "Šauška protect you, Reed Richards. Failing that, may Anubis weigh your soul true."

 

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Reed bowed his head again. Azzuri then vanished. Reed stepped back and sighed before turning as he heard a knock at the door.

 

"Reed, it's me." Sue spoke from outside. Reed opened the door, closing it behind her. "Talking to Azzuri again?"

 

"Yes. I warned him about... You know." Reed leaned against his desk.

 

"About that." Sue crossed her arms. "Johnny and Valeria had an idea. Four of us put on suits made of Unstable Molecules, the fifth uses a massive amount of power. We prove that these things are as good as any atom bomb."

 

"We need a pretty massive power source. I'm not about to use an atom bomb for this." Reed closed his eyes, thinking.

 

"We don't need an atom bomb. We have another power source."

 

 

July 24th, 1945

 

 

Valeria walked into a room with a briefcase in her hand, setting it down on a table. Sue, Johnny, and Ben were standing within a chamber while Reed was tampering with the chamber from the outside. Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben all wore blue and black suits with a white disk in the centre, glass helmets over their heads.

 

"Molecules are holding shape." Ben smiled. He looked at Valeria. "You got it?" Valeria turned the briefcase toward him, opening it to reveal the Tesseract inside.

 

"Perfect, let's get on with this." Reed walked over to a large camera, turning it on. "My name is Doctor Reed Richards. These are my partners in this experiment: Doctor Susan Storm, Benjamin Grimm, and Jonathan Storm. We are proving the durability of Unstable Molecules by testing suits made of them against the power of the Tesseract." Reed walked away from the camera and opened the door to the chamber. He stepped inside as Valeria removed the Tesseract from the case, placing it into a power cell that was connected to the chamber.

 

"Ready?" Valeria asked. Johnny gave her a thumbs up. Valeria threw a level, and energy surged forth from the Tesseract. The fantastic power of the Cube entered the chamber, swirling around the four within. "5 percent power and growing steady. 10 percent. 20 percent. 40 percent? 120 percent! 256 PERCENT!" Valeria ran over to the chamber, attempting to shut it down. Howard Stark and two guards ran into the room just as the energy within the chamber spiked to 400 percent, vaporizing the four within the chamber. Valeria finally managed to disconnect the system, the chamber draining of energy. She touched the chamber before falling to her knees.

 

"Doctor von Doom, what just happened?" Howard demanded.

 

"It's my fault," Valeria whispered. "I killed them."
