CECELLIA WAS TALKING WITH WANDA when suddenly she stumbled on her feet, feeling a wave of dizziness rush over her, she touched her head.
"Are you feeling okay?" Wanda asked her counterpart as Agatha would say.
Cecellia nods, "yeah... I just feel dizzy."
"Why don't we go sit down?" Wanda pulled on her hand to go sit down on the nearby couch.
As they sat Bruce went through the list of heroes coming to the tower, "we have practically everyone Harkness would have affected coming to us."
"Practically? We really don't need some hero going out of their mind and killing people," Natasha states.
America stepped back at the idea, "what about..." She glanced over at Wanda thinking 616's Scarlet Witch, "what about the ones who have chaotic powers?"
Cecellia looked up at that as Wanda looked at her girlfriend who just looked back at her once she felt her eyes on her.
Tony and Strange came back through portalling there, "well, there is another way than just leaving it up to chance."
Strange opened a case that showed a ton of the cuffs that he put on Agatha, "these will stop any powers from terrorizing anyone."
"We're all just gonna stop our powers? What if you're wrong?" Cecellia asked.
"Well, we can wait until we start to see signs in people," Strange decided.
"What even are the signs?" America asked.
They all looked at Strange for an answer but, "I... I am not sure," as everyone reacted he just sighed, "look, it's not like Agatha was gonna give us a cheat book to her last spell with the Darkhold."
"Gandalf has a point," Cecellia nods.
"Why don't we all get comfy while we wait for our company?" Tony suggests.
CECELLIA ENDED UP FALLING ALSEEP ON WANDA, surprisingly, to be honest, considering she just woke up not that long ago...
In her dreams...
"Okay, I think I figured it out!" 616's Wanda ran over to Cecellia, "look at this."
Cecellia looked at the spell book in Wanda's hands, it was not like the Darkhold; no bad after effects. It just explained more about chaos magic and reality warping.
"This says if we do this ritual... We can have a family," Wanda explains.
Cecellia tilted her head, "how does it work?"
"Well..." Wanda proceeded to explain that it would take the child from another universe but since they would be an infant they wouldn't remember.
"Wouldn't the parents be concerned?" Cecellia wasn't comfortable with this idea.
"They wouldn't remember the baby existing, see?" Wanda points out the passage that explains.
"Wan..." Cecellia took her hand in hers, "can we talk about this, please?" she looked at the book as she continued, "without the book?"
Wanda closed the book and used her telekinesis to send it back to the shelf as she gave her full attention to her wife.
"We can have a family again," Cecellia told her, "just... It doesn't have to go by stealing children."
"But... How? They see me as a monster and you..." She shook her head not seeing the normal way possible.
The elemental shook her head, "beautiful, listen to me, Strange never outed that I helped you. I'm not compromised. I can get pregnant through a donor and we can have a family."
Wanda smiles as she realizes that she's right, "we can have a family."
Cecellia pulled her into a kiss, "I love you, I will always love you."
When she did wake up though...
"Mmm..." Cecellia stirred, the dream fresh in her mind, she looked at Wanda, "hey beautiful... Our couple from another reality... They're living one hell of life right now."
Wanda looked down at the Elemental on her lap, "hey, you're awake, you must have needed sleep."
"I guess I did need sleep and I saw 616's Wanda and Cecellia... They were gonna get a donor to get pregnant," Cecellia sat up explaining with a smile blinking after she felt this little itch in the back of her head, that's when she realizes there were more people here now, a lot more people, "oh, hello company."
"Yeah," Wanda chuckled, "I'm happy for them by the way."
Cecellia stood up feeling dizzy once again stumbled backward almost falling but Wanda swooped her arm around her waist, "hey, you okay?" she was actually getting concerned now.
"Yeah, I must still be tired," Cecellia shrugged it off.
America was sitting talking with another kid; Peter Parker, Cecellia's heard a lot about him from Tony but has never met him. "Hey kid or should I say: kids?" She grinned as she walked over, Wanda catches up taking her hand when she does.
"Hey Ce, did you sleep good?" America asked.
"Yeah, I must have needed it," she looked at Wanda who smiled at her.
There it was again... The itch... What is that? Maybe it's the spell, she looked down as Wanda squeezed her hand, "what's wrong, Cecellia?"
"I think... I'm starting to feel the spell," Cecellia expressed.
Everyone in her distance looked at her, "we should get Mr. Stark and Doctor Strange, right?" Peter asked standing along with America.
"Probably, right?" America looked at Cecellia but the Elemental was off her game so... Wanda answered.
"Yes, we should," Wanda nodded, "excuse us," she said to those who heard Cecellia's announcement and were staring, they moved once they were asked to, and they went to the bar where Tony and Strange were talking at.
Cecellia closed her eyes as she walked trying to get a grip but a little dark voice in her head wanted to snap, but she's stronger than that... She won't snap, not without a fight.
"Ce?" Wanda asked noticing her girl's eyes were closed.
"Sorry!" Cecellia opened her eyes looking at her.
Wanda just pulled her closer, "it's okay, I'm just... I'm just extremely worried about you."
"I'm strong, I can handle this," Cecellia says confidently.
"Handle what?" Tony asks noticing the group who came to them.
"She said she's feeling the effects of the spell," Peter pointed out.
Strange sat up, "which one?"
He points at Cecellia who just smiles and waves at Strange.
Strange grabs the case as she puts her wrist out, knowing the risk, she couldn't let her darker half out and hurt those she cares for... He put the cuff on her as she whispered, "thank you..."
"What did it feel like?" Tony asked.
Bruce walks over being one of those who were close enough to overhear her announcement.
"I got dizzy a lot at first, I think that was a part of it since it came out of nowhere, and then I fell asleep without being a lick of tired," she then thought, "and I'm hearing a dark voice in my head now. Trying to get me to give in."
Bruce writes this all down, "okay, we should go around and start with seeing who is dizzy in the group of heroes we have here."
Wanda just squeezed Cecellia's hand, "can we go lay down while you all do that? I want to spend time with her before it affects her."
"Sure, just keep a close eye, my bestie doesn't really need her powers to fight," Tony reminds her.
"Right," Wanda nods before leading them towards the elevator, Cecellia closed her eyes as she heard the voice say bad things, "my love?"
"What?" Cecellia never heard her call her that so she opened her eyes looking at her.
Wanda giggled, "sorry, I just wanted to test out the pet name for you, I've heard other alternate universe me's call you that so..." She shrugged.
"Oh, I am not complaining," Cecellia smiled a bit but the smile dwindled, "I really don't want to hurt you..."
"You won't, trust me," Wanda grabbed the other hand as she pulled her closer, "I'm gonna be by your side because we are together in this, okay? If you need anything just ask; if you need to talk... Just talk."
"Well... The voice in my head, it's darker and it's mocking me, telling me these horrible things and the worst part is..." Cecellia looked down, "they're all true."
"Ce, that is not true," Wanda tried to convince her.
"Yes, it is," she nodded not convinced, "Wan, I killed my real parents, and then when my dad died again... I didn't do anything to stop it," tears fell down her face.
The Witch touched her face as she shook her head, "you couldn't stop either of those things from happening no more than I could stop my own parents from dying horribly," she told her.
"You never... I guess neither have I," she shook her head.
"I guess now is a good time than any," Wanda smiled, "my parents were killed in Sokovia, by a missile, not just any... Missile." She hesitated knowing Cecellia's friendship with Stark, "it was a Stark Missile."
"What?" Cecellia asked as Wanda nodded, "you never told me... Wanda... I'm so sorry."
"It's okay... Really, I just want to be honest with you because I really, really like you more than I've ever liked anyone, maybe we're soulmates," Wanda guessed.
Cecellia nodded, "soulmates, yeah," that's what 616 Wanda said, "I like that, and if you're being honest... I better be too, right?" She chuckled nervously, "I killed my real parents in a fire, it was an accident but I can never forgive myself," she looked down vulnerably.
"I'm so sorry," Wanda touched her head to hers, "your not a monster."
"You heard that little thought just now?" Cecellia laughed with tears in her eyes.
Wanda looked at her with a serious look, "my love, Cecellia, you truly are not a monster, you are the farthest thing from it. You are kind, generous, and loving," she told her honestly.
"I still have my flaws..."
"Everyone does," she reminded her, "don't be afraid to remember that you are human- Elemental? But still, you are more human."
"I understand," she laughed nodding wiping the tear that fell down her face.
Wanda pulled her into a kiss as Cecellia kissed back then the elevator door opened at Wanda's level at the tower.
"Welcome to my humble abode," Wanda introduced.
WANDA LAY WATCHING THAT 70S SHOW WITH CECELLIA who was laying on her lap, she braided her hair as they watched, "whatcha thinking about?" Cecellia asked.
Wanda smiled, "just about 616's Wanda and Cecellia, it's kind of crazy that they want to start a family that isn't Tommy and Billy, isn't it?"
"Yeah, it's amazing that after everything they've been through that's where they are at in life," Cecellia looked up at Wanda, "do you think we'd be good parents?"
"We just have a load of dreams of other universes to prove that's true," Wanda smirked.
"Good point."
"How are you feeling?" Wanda asked.
Cecellia shook her head, "tired, which could mean a lot right?"
"Right," Wanda nodded worriedly, "I'm gonna protect you, I promise, okay?"
"Can you protect anyone?"
"What?"
Cecellia turned her head as she looked at her with darkened eyes, "I've seen every universe in our dreams, you couldn't protect me in any universe, I've died countless times, our children have even died," she went on talking bad as Wanda shook her head, "and when we were gone... You went bad. You turned to the Darkhold like Agatha. Who knows, maybe I'll die again and you'll find Wundagore-"
"Stop!" Wanda stood up as Cecellia just sat up, "the spell has taken over your mind," she said noticing it when she tries to get into her love's mind.
"It has? I really haven't noticed," Cecellia sarcastically says tilting her head, "you should join me, beautiful, really... It's so much fun."
Wanda shook her head, "it's going to be alright, okay? I'm gonna take care of you-"
Cecellia threw a punch but Wanda dodged it before restraining her with her magic as she went down surrounded by red magic!
"I've got you..." Wanda whispered as she held her.
"Let me go, you witch!" Cecellia hissed.
That was when America came through the door, "shit- Is she okay?!"
"Not really, any other infected?" Wanda asked.
"Tony and Peter are showing signs, but Tony doesn't need cuffs, only Peter did so we put one on him," America answered.
"Hey, Tony is with me? I like the sound of that," Cecellia states.
America looked at Wanda who seemed like she didn't know what to do, "W-Wanda, Strange wants to put all infected in cell level B."
"No one's on that level?"
"No."
Wanda just stared at Cecellia worriedly, "okay... I'll do anything for her to be okay, so okay."
Cecellia grinned at that before she was helped to her feet by Wanda, controlling her magic, "sure, your all playing the lock us up card right now... But we know you love us," she told them but stared at Wanda the whole time.
Wanda does love Cecellia which is hard territory to tread on... How do you express your feelings in the middle of all this? "Let's get her to cell level B," she tells America without showing any emotion on her face.
Cecellia laughed AS THEY TOOK HER AWAY.
