After accidentally mind-controlling an entire town to act in a sitcom-inspired reality, Wanda Maximoff battled the ancient, powerful witch Agatha Harkness, who sought her Chaos Magic, an extremely rare and powerful magic capable of bending the fabric of reality itself, and just went it seemed like Agatha defeated the young witch, something unexpected happened...

## Part 1: The Battle of Westview

### Chapter 1

High above the rooftops of Westview, New Jersey, Wanda was drained of her powers, leaving a wrinkly husk that skin barley clung to. Agatha manically cackled as she concentrated red energy that lingered and slowly swirled around her into a small orb between her hands that shrunk as she placed them together and sharply exhaled, having taken in so much power. On the ground below, Billy and Tommy called up to Wanda, "Mom!" But she couldn't hear them. Vision buried his son's faces in his chest as he looked up at his defeated wife and Monica Rambeau looked at her beaten ally. None of the could stop Agatha, even if they tried; she was simply too powerful. "About out deal..." Agatha's voice trailed off. "Once a spell is cast, t can never be changed. This world you made will always be broken. Just. Like. You." She pulled her hands back to cast a spell, then, with a grunt, released them forward. But a spell never came. Confused, the witch looked down at her pale hands and gasped in surprise. Wanda slowly lifted her head as her skin became smoother and no longer clung to her skeleton. She lifted her hand and slightly moved her fingers, revealing red, glowing runes burned into the static, scarlet red energy barrier that surrounded Westview. The ancient witch looked around her in surprise. "Runes?" She asked. "'In a given space, only the witch that casts them can use her magic.' Thanks for the lesson." Wanda said. "But I don't need you to tell me who I am." She said the last words softly as a red, two horned crown appeared on her head.

"No. No. No. No!" Agatha shuddered as her opponent's eyes glowed a menacing, angry scarlet red and red energy surrounded her as she absorbed it and Agatha's violet magic. "No! No!" She wailed and screamed as her precious magic was ripped away from her. A ball of blinding red and white light enveloped Wanda, then dissipated as she absorbed the energy, revealing Wanda now dressed in a sleeveless dark red uniform with a skirt around the back of her waist that came around to her hips and she also wore long, finger less crimson gloves that ran down to her elbows and a dark red double horned crown to top it off. "Oh God. You don't know what you've done." Agatha warned, fear reflected in her eyes as she felt the menacing power that radiated from Wanda. But she wasn't the only one who felt the powerful surge of energy. Miles away in New York City, Doctor Stephen Strange felt something powerful in the world unlike anything he had felt before. He thought of what it could be and went to investigate.

### Chapter 2

The Scarlet Witch lifted her hand and her and Agatha floated down to the ground, then dropped her five feet from it. The old witch pushed a clump of her dark brown hair out of her vision as Wanda landed in front of her. "Good girl." The defeated witch said sarcastically.

"So, what now? You just gonna lock me up somewhere?" She asked. Wanda shook her head.

"No. Not somewhere. Here," She said.

Agatha, breathing heavily, asked, "Here?"

"Mmm-hmm. I'll give you the role you chose," She walked over to Agatha. "The nosy neighbor."

Her eyes widened. "No. Please," She begged.

"I'm sorry," Wanda insisted.

"No, you're not, you're cruel." She retorted. "You... You have... you have no idea what you've unleashed. You're gonna need me." She said.

"If I do, I'll know where to find you." Wanda said.

"Wait. Wait, wait, wait-" She touched her hand to the side of Agatha's head and she was transformed into Agnes again. "Hiya, hon." She said cheerfully with a smile on her face. "Say, that's some kinda getup you're wearing. Did I leave the oven on or is that just you, hot stuff?" She asked, then chuckled. "You live here. Now." Wanda commanded. "No one will ever bother you."

"Okie dokie, artichokie." She said. "I'll be seeing you, Agnes." Wanda said. "Not if I see you first, hon." She said in response. Wanda smiled and walked towards her family. "Mom!" The twins yelled in delight. "Come here!" She said playfully as they ran into her arms and she kissed them on their heads. Vision walked over to his wife, "Well it seems our dream home has been reduced to a fixer-upper. I know you'll set everything right. Just not for us."

"No. Not for us." She agreed. "It's time." He said. "Should we head home?" He asked. Wanda nodded and they were just about to leave when the super-family heard a soft *shhhhhhh* from behind them and looked to see a ring of sparks form out of nowhere and a man that had a black goatee and hair dressed in a dark blue sorcerer's robe and a red cape on walk out of it. "Wanda Maximoff, my name is Doctor Stephen Strange. I need you to come with me."

## Part 2: The Darkhold

### Chapter 3

"Boys, get behind me." Wanda commanded and instinctively generated red orbs of Chaos Magic in her hands. Vision got beside her and got into a fighting position. "I'm not here to hurt you, Wanda. I just want to talk," The wizard said calmly.

"And why should I listen to you?" She asked sternly.

"Because I'm the only person who truly understands what power you possess." He replied.

"Prove it." She said. Strange gestured for her to come with him through the sparky ring-shaped portal. She looked at her family and the Chaos Magic orbs dissipated. "It's okay. You can go." Vision said softly. Tommy and Billy nodded in agreement. A tear slowly crawled down her cheek. Sadness laced her voice as she asked, "Can I say goodbye?" Strange nodded, "Take all the time you need." Then he walked back into his portal and closed it, leaving the family to say their goodbyes. They walked back to their home and Wanda and Vision tucked the twins into their beds as the Hex started to shrink. When they were leaving the room, Billy asked, "Mom?" She turned towards her son. "What does that doctor want with you?" Wanda took a deep breath and sighed, then chose her next words carefully, "Agnes told me that I have a special power, and now as I want to understand it, so does Doctor Strange." She said softly. Her son seemed satisfied with the answer as he laid back in his bed with a thin smile on his face. Wanda looked at a window between the twins bed and saw the Hex closing in. She looked at her sons one last time. "Boys, thanks for choosing me to be your mom." She said with a smile as a tear fell from her eye and she shut the door. She walked downstairs to find it was dimly lit, but Vision turned a lamp on. "I read somewhere that's it's bad luck to say goodbye in the dark." He said. "No you didn't." His wife said with a smile.

"Wanda, when you go with Strange-"

"I'll be fine, Vis." She reassured him.

"Keep your guard up; what's to say he won't try to steal your magic like Agnes did?"

"Because I trust him. He seems to know what he's doing. And if he is evil, I'll just turn him into a magician that makes balloon animals." She joked.
