Wanda was at her absolute lowest. Vision was gone and now she knew she couldn’t bring him back. Now she was sinking to her knees, alone in center of the empty lot he promised to build a home on, build a life on. But there was no him, there was no home and there was no life. Grief and tears and magic tore out of her in a unified scream and the world tore up around her in the face of the forming Hex.
She wasn’t aware of what she was doing, per se, for her mourning was beyond thought. All she wanted was him. Wanted him to see her and hold her and hush her till all her bad feelings went away. Just hold and soothe and coddle and pamper. Her memories of him flowed from mind mixed with her need and longing and concentrated into a singular vessel. All the while a house sprung up around her, leaving her crying out in the middle of a living room designed with 50s decor down to the last detail. Era accurate sofa, era accurate television set, era accurate… play pen?
Somehow a seedling of vulnerability had blossomed into a desire she never new she had now manifesting in her new reality. A high chair in the kitchen, baby toys in the living room, her own crib in the master bedroom, a larger than average playground up the street and who knows what else. Her old clothes seemed to burn away as she wailed like a baby, leaving her in a soft white babydoll dress covered in fluffy frill, knitted baby booties and a cloth diaper held together with safety pins.
All of a sudden a pair of hands scooped her up by her armpits and held her close “there there, my love. Everything will be alright.”
The scarlet witches eyes shot open as she found herself face to face with the mandroid she loved. The sheer joy she felt was so strong than then and there she forgot vision was supposed to be dead and her heart soared. “Daddy!” She squealed, burying her face in his his neck and hugging herself as close to him as she could possibly get.
