New York – a very dark New York, where several heroes have gathered on an abandoned street. Adam Brashear the Blue Marvel calls out to America Chavez and Miguel Santos a.k.a. Lightning and tells them that they are with him. He adds that this blackout is creating a global panic, but that between them they can be everywhere at once. Blue Marvel tells Dr Toni Ho, who holds a large gun, and Nadia van Dyne the Wasp, who hovers nearby, that their job is to get the power back on – any way they can. Blue Marvel then tells Pod-2, Gomi Bill the Lobster that Earth's trigger fingers are getting itchy, and their assignment is to prevent World War III! Toni Ho asks Nadia if she is ready for the first GIRL/RESCUE join mission. 'I am if you are!' Nadia replies, while Pod-2 remarks 'Everything is cool'. The Blue Marvel then asks T'Challa the Black Panther, who appears via a holo-link, whether his Avengers squad can handle the vampire problem. 'If you can handle your end, Blue Marvel -' T'Challa replies, to which the Blue Marvel declares that he is commanding a worldwide force of international heroes – that will have to be enough. 'Avengers World – assemble!' Blue Marvel exclaims.
Meanwhile, on Euphoria, where a rag-tag group of Avengers find themselves. Hercules thinks that when the time came, he always thought he would be the hero. Instead, he finds himself in darkness, shaken and grieving, readying for final battle. And then he hears a voice: 'Enough' the voice utters, as Hercules decides that it is a kind voice. Hercules, Wanda Maximoff the Scarlet Witch, the android known as the Vision, Rocket Raccoon, Clint Barton a.k.a. Hawkeye, Monica Rambeau a.k.a. Spectrum, the warrior called Conan and the gravely weak Voyager watch as a green tree-like alien appears before them. 'Who -' Hercules calls out, while Nyx, the Queen of the Night watches, too. The mysterious new arrival glows as she introduces herself as Euphoria, and explains that she is this planet. Euphoria reveals that for countless millennia she has existed only to make her denizens happy, to fulfil their desires.
'Then you possess the final shard of my power -' Nyx utters. Euphoria looks down at Nyx and remarks that they all desire that, and their warring threatens to disrupt her paradise. 'So I wonder...can a decision be made? Who needs it most?' Euphoria asks. 'I do!' Nyx snaps. 'My lady – for the good of the universe, we must have the -' Hercules begins, but Euphoria states that she cannot speak of universes, for she is only a planet. She looks at Hercules and asks him what is it that he wants. Hercules looks up at Euphoria and explains that they must have the shard to defeat endless night. 'Not the goal of some mission. The ache of your heart. The truth. What do you want?' Euphoria asks. Hercules pauses, and looks to the ground as he admits that recently, he tried to mend his ways, mend his reputation – that he wanted to be seen as a legendary hero again, so he stopped drinking, and that was hard – but to stop boasting, well, that became too hard – he wanted to be seen as the legend, the legend people wanted.
Hercules continues, explaining that he swung between playing the serious man, aching to prove something, and playing the jester, everyone's funny friend – but he can't be those people anymore, he can't. 'I want to be...who I want to be. And the man I want to be...he does not boast. Or have things to prove. He only helps. That's all I want. All that matters. Just to have helped someone' Hercules admits, softly smiling as he closes his eyes. 'I see. And what do you want, archer?' Euphoria asks as she turns to Hawkeye, replies that he wants to hear music the way he used to, before his hearing was damaged, and that he wants to be 20 again – that he wants a shot, one perfect shot, one good arrow. Euphoria then turns to Spectrum: 'And what do you want, immortal?' she asks. Spectrum glows with energy, telling Euphoria that they need light, that they can't live without it, and she can't lead without it. 'I... I want to be that light. But not forever. I know that now' Monica admits, narrowing her eyes and switching to her human form.
'And you, spellcaster?' Euphoria asks Wanda. Wanda declares that she can see again, but that in this dark, she might as well be blind. 'I need to see – to see her face. When I take a witch's vengeance for all she's done!' Wanda exclaims. 'And you, whom she hates so? I can feel your sadness' Euphoria remarks, turning to Nyx, who admits that she wants the same, and while once she would have asked for acceptance, respect, a home – now she just wants vengeance. 'And you? You whose sadness dwarfs all here?' Euphoria asks Rocket, who looks at a device and replies 'What's there to want? Time's up. I just want one thing – one thing I ever did to – to turn out right'. He then holds up a vial, forgetting that he stole it. Euphoria looks at the Vision, and asks him if he has wants or desires. The Vision stares back with his face battered and announces that he is dying, like his wife died, and his son – it feels quite human, he has all he needs.
Euphoria narrows her eyes as she looks at Conan the Barbarian. 'What do you -' she begins, but Conan interrupts: 'Wait. What did he say? He's human because he's dying?' Conan asks. The Vision tells him that androids can be rebuilt, but to be mortal is to be truly human. Conan frowns and tells the Vision that he is a fool. 'You think dying makes you human? Being human makes you die' Conan declares, pointing out that their bodies break, disease claims them, despair poisons them. 'You think that has meaning? That we want it?' he asks, before slamming a fist into the palm of his hand, 'We fight it! Like rats fight the trap!' he declares, adding that they scream and beg and curse – and Crom does not care. 'And neither do I! But what I want – steel devil – is for you to fight back!' Conan tells the Vision, pointing at him.
Finally, Euphoria turns to Dr Bruce Banner, who is turned away from the rest of the group, 'And you, last of all? The monster' she remarks, asking him to tell her his desire. Bruce whispers something that none can hear save for Euphoria, who goes wide-eyed, and raises a hand, shocked, she tells him that she will not – she will not end his world.
'Enough of this foolish game! You have your answers. Now give me the shard or I will destroy this planet and search the rubble to get it!' Nyx exclaims. Euphoria frowns and remarks that she wishes only happiness and fulfilment for all, and explains that she even allowed violence to take place upon Euphoria since so many of them desired such conflict, but that harming the denizens who live here would bring pain and loss she could not abide. 'We'll see if you remain defiant once i've stripped all light from you and slain every being who calls this pitiful sphere home!' Nyx declares, readying to strike Euphoria, who asks 'How best to please you and all of them at the same time?' when suddenly, there is a strange noise, and Nyx turns, only to find an arrow fired straight into her right eye. She screams, and Hawkeye smiles: 'One perfect shot, baby! Let's strike up the band and make some noise!'
Nyx pulls the arrow from her eye and tells the Avengers that their temerity has outlived its amusement. 'My darkness cannot be overcome!' Nyx scowls. Wanda casts a hex and informs Monica that she is pulling light from all probabilities around them and vesting it within her. Monica clenches her fists as the light flows into her, she starts to tell Wanda that it is too much, that she can't contain it. 'You are not alone, Monica. We will fight together...and stop this darkness!' the Vision calls out as Spectrum merges her form into the Vision's android body, and together, they surge forward and slam a fist into Nyx's face, knocking her to the ground. 'NEVER!' Nyx screams, while Voyager begins to open a portal. 'Vision dealt a blow worthy of Zeus himself...' Hercules utters, while Conan points out that the night wench reels, but that she is far from slain. With her portal open, Voyager tells the others that she is creating a path for them to push through Nyx’ darkness and attack, but that they must go now. 'Whelp, I guess it's time ta use this li'l beauty...' Rocket utters as he opens the vial and swallows its contents – as the shocked Hawkeye looks at him and shouts 'You stole my Pym Particles!'
'You little -' Hawkeye begins, as a shadow starts to fall over him. 'Who you calling “little”?' Rocket asks as he towers over Hawkeye. 'THIS ROCKET IS LARGE AND IN CHARGE!' Rocket shouts as he rushes forward, while Voyager and Wanda fly alongside him, and Hercules and Conan stand ready on the ground. 'Keep smashing! She's going down!' Rocket calls out as he stands on Nyx. 'Such violent motives...I do not know how best to serve their needs' Euphoria admits, while Hercules goes up behind Nyx and grabs her arms, restraining her. Euphoria looks down at Nyx and asks her if this is truly what she desires – defeat and destruction – final release after an eternity of struggle. Nyx remembers Zeus removing her soul from her body and telling her that the night is no longer hers. 'NO! Give my my life, my power! Give me the shard!' Nyx shouts. Narrowing her eyes, Euphoria tells Nyx that if she must have it, then it is hers, to take it from her. 'I SHALL!' Nyx screams as she lunges forward and thrusts her hand into Euphoria's chest, where she pulls the final shard from her, and cracks it open, releasing a darkness that sweeps over the Avengers, knocking Rocket, Hercules and Conan backwards as she smiles and glows with power.
'My godhood returned at last' Nyx smiles to herself, realizing that now, finally, she can see it clearly – the center, the core. The birthplace of all that was... all that is... and all that yet may be. She looks over to the old house that has been haunting her recently, and opens a portal to the house, deciding that here, from this seat of power, she shall remake the universe.
'...so tired... can't follow her...' Voyager utters, before looking over to Euphoria, and pointing out that she never heard her wish. 'Very well. Tell me, deep within...what is your true heart's desire?' Euphoria asks. 'To...to be an Avenger' Voyager admits. 'Child...only one can make that happen...and it's not me...' Euphoria replies, before she seemingly dies. Voyager falls silent, before realizing that Euphoria is right. Voyager slowly gets to her feet, and energy glows around her hand as she begins to summon another portal, before she reaches up and shouts 'Avengers...ASSEMBLE!' The heroes race through the portal, 'Go! Go! Go!' Rocket exclaims, while Wanda tells the others that Nyx can't be far ahead, wherever she ended up. 'You gotta be kidding me! With the entire universe to choose from, Nyx – the goddess Nyx – decided to take the fight to Long Island?' Hawkeye utters as the heroes examine their suburban surroundings, Hawkeye notices the registration plate on a car parked nearby, with the license plate SML-JKK. 'I'll do ya two better, Twangy. Why's there light coming outta that house when it's supposed t'be dark across all creation?' Rocket, who has returned to his true size, asks, pointing at the old house nearby.
Civilians down the street look around, 'Weird. You hear something?' a man asks a woman who holds a little girl. The woman tells him that they should get off the street, that she doesn't like it, it's too quiet. Rocket then asks why no one else can see the light – or see them. Wanda reports that she is sensing some sort of cloaking enchantment, not from Nyx, but from the house itself, as if it is actively resisting their very presence. 'LOOK! Nyx! She's making her way inside!' Wanda exclaims as she sees Nyx standing at the front doors of the house, light glowing from inside it. Conan declares that this is more foul sorcery, that he is not impressed, and nor will he be bowed. 'Nyx will pay this night for her evils! So vows Conan of Cimmeria -' Conan exclaims, when suddenly, he begins to fade away. 'Conan!' Wanda cries out, while Nyx smiles. Bruce Banner clutches his head, 'I can't be here – this – it's holy ground. I can't be here -' he utters, as he also vanishes.
The glow intensifies around Nyx, while Hercules leads Wanda, Hawkeye, Voyager, Rocket and the Vision forward, he knows they have no time to mourn their losses, and sees Wanda quickly weave a protective spell over those who remain, but it is only defensive, it can only shield them, not advance them. Hercules knows that they must follow Nyx, although the door to the house begins to close. It is as if the force of all creation were holding fast against them. Hercules and his friends soldier forth, but every step feels a thousand years long – and they are not eternal, none of them. Mortals fade. Rocket is the next to go, vanishing as the Avengers edge closer to the front door. Hercules reaches out and grabs the door handle, he knows that he will fade, too – but not today, not before one last labor.
'I have the door! If I can keep it from closing – keep even the smallest cracks of light – it is still open to us!' Hercules calls out as he struggles to keep the door open. Hercules shouts to the Vision, 'Do you hear me? The door is still open!' he exclaims. The Vision races past the Scarlet Witch, 'I hear you, old friend' the Vision responds, before he calls out to Monica, whose voice can be heard telling the Vision that she is giving him everything she has. Hercules reminds himself that he was born a combination of reality and myth, thus a legend, a man made of stories. But here and now, in the face of the end – the legend feels hollow. Hercules decides that he would rather be himself, and recalls that he has often wondered which of his many stories will endure – but he knows now that there is only one that matters. 'Just hurry!' Spectrum calls out as she emerges from the Vision's body, and the Vision plunges himself through the door, and into the light, while Hercules strains to keep the door open, thinking that when the time came, he gave his all – not to be the hero – the legend – but just to help. 'Godspeed, Vision. Fight well. For if you fail... then all the stories are done' Hercules thinks to himself, before he falls backwards, and the door to the light closes.

Untitled
In the beginning, no one knew what to make of them. Seven super-powered Avengers fans, who only came together because the Avengers themselves had fallen apart. Since then, the teenage heroes have fought Kang the Conqueror, a super hero Civil War, a Secret Invasion of Earth and a Siege of Asgard. So, you would think the Avengers would trust them by now. But they teenage heroes are still fighting to prove they are worthy of being called the Young Avengers - even if it kills them.
Downtown, the Young Avengers engage in battled with some masked, armed soldiers. Cassie Lang’s father was the microscopic Ant-Man, and after his death, Cassie used her father’s Pym Particles to follow in his footsteps as the size-changing Stature. ‘Any intel on these guys, Vision?’ Cassie calls out to her partner as she increases her size and grabs one of the soldiers. This Vision is the latest iteration of the android Avenger, who can manipulate his own density, and whose synthezoid soul makes him every bit as human as the rest of them. The new Vision grabs one of the guns from the enemy and announces that the call themselves the Sons of the Serpent, a paramilitary sect devoted to maintaining racial and moral purity.
Eli Bradley’s grandfather was the original Captain America, and as a third-generation super soldier, Eli continues to fight for peace as Patriot. ‘They’re white supremacists!’ Eli exclaims, to which the female Hawkeye adds that, to be fair, they hate gays and lesbians. ‘And uppity women, apparently’ Patriot points out as one of the Sons of the Serpent takes aim at Hawkeye, while she declares that the Young Avengers must be their least favourite super hero team ever. Kate Bishop is a former New York society debutante, and she so impressed Captain America on the battlefield that he gave her the then-deceased Clint Barton’s bow, and she was called the new Hawkeye.
Tommy Shepherd has super-speed, white hair and a criminal past - all of which he shares with the former Avenger Quicksilver, and for obvious reasons, he is called Speed. ‘Sounds like the world would be better off without them’ Speed exclaims as he darts about, removing the guns from several of the Sons of the Serpent. ‘That’s how they feel about us, so go easy. They don’t have powers, just tech’ Billy “Wiccan” Kaplan exclaims. ‘Thanks to me, now they don’t even have that’ Speed boasts. Speed and Wiccan happen to look exactly like each other, which in addition to Wiccan having magic powers makes him think that he and Tommy might actually be the long lost twin sons of Quicksilver’s sister, the Scarlet Witch.
Rounding out the team is the super-strong shape shifter, Teddy Altman, who is the son of the Kree Captain Marvel, and like his father, Teddy protects this planet as Hulkling. He is also Wiccan’s boyfriend. Hulkling grabs one of the Sons of the Serpent, who quotes “As the serpent drove Adam and Eve from Eden…so shall we drive out the unfit - the inferior”. ‘You’re actually using the Bible to justify murder?’ Teddy asks. ‘What would you know about the Bible, sodomite?’ the soldier asks. ‘This sodomite went to an Episcopal school for six years. So if you want to swap Bible verses, how about Exodus Twenty-One, verse Twenty-Four… “an eye for an eye”!’ Teddy exclaims as he holds a clawed finger over the masked soldier’s face.
‘Do it. Martyr me and show the world exactly what kind of monster you are!’ the soldier shouts. ‘If you insist’ Hulkling replies, as he plants a kiss on the soldier’s cheek. ‘You’ll burn in hell for that’ the wide-eyed soldier warns him, before managing to drop to the ground. ‘Wait - you spend your free time killing people, but I’m going to hell for kissing you?’ Hulkling asks, adding that it was not even a good kiss. The soldier wipes his face and replies ‘Proverbs 12:28. “In the path of righteousness is everlasting life…but the way of the evil-doer ends in death”!’ he exclaims as he spins around and fires a weapon, the blast which strikes Hulkling in the chest.
‘Hulkling!’ Wiccan shouts, concerned for his boyfriend. Suddenly, a voice exclaims ‘I have to admit, I underestimated you guys. I thought the Sons of the Serpent would at least be racist enough to know that Hulkling is half Kree - which makes him invulnerable…unlike you’ Carol Danvers a.k.a. Ms Marvel, exclaims as she hovers behind Iron Man a.k.a. Tony Stark and Steve “Captain America” Rogers. ‘Do it now…or my friends and I will be forced to demonstrate just how vulnerable you really are’ Cap exclaims.
The member of the Sons of the Serpent holds a detonator in one hand and grabs Hulkling by the collar with the other. He exclaims ‘I believe I’ll be giving the orders, Captain - if only because of the nuclear weapon strapped to my back!’ Wiccan hovers nearby and with magical energy ready, warns the soldier to let Hulkling go, otherwise this will become a suicide mission. ‘You’d risk millions of lives for one alien invert?’ the soldier asks. ‘Try me!’ Wiccan warns him. The soldier frowns and exclaims ‘Then let what happens here today serve as a warning that the wages of sin…are death!’ he holds his finger on the detonator, while Billy exclaims ‘Teddy!’ with tears in his eyes - and suddenly, everything goes white.
An undetermined amount of time later, the dust clears, and the heroes begin to rise from the ground. ‘Cap? Iron Man? Kids?’ Ms Marvel calls out. ‘We’re okay’ someone exclaims, while Iron Man announces that his systems are online. ‘How is that possible? If that guy had a nuke, shouldn’t we all be dead?’ Carol exclaims, before she, Cap and Iron Man look upwards, and Cap exclaims that it was not the nuke that went off - it was Wiccan! And in the sky, streams of energy ripple around Wiccan as he hovers overhead, and everyone looks on, confused.
Later, at Young Avengers Headquarters, ‘Did I kill those men?’ Billy asks, as he sits down. Teddy stands beside him, while the others gather around, and Cap, Iron Man and Carol look down on them all, standing on some stairs. Iron Man informs Wiccan that the men were all rendered comatose and the hospital just called to say that the first ones are waking up, with no idea of what happened to them. ‘Do we have any idea what happened to them?’ Ms Marvel asks. ‘Wiccan?’ Cap calls out. ‘I honestly don’t know’ Billy replies. ‘One minute we were fighting the Sons of the Serpent, and the next…’ his voice trails off.
‘You put them all into comas with a single thought. You might just as easily have killed them’ Carol declares, sternly. ‘I would never -’ Billy begins, to which Carol interrupts, telling Wiccan that he doesn’t know what he is capable of, and neither do they. ‘So you’re going to be staying with us for a while’ Ms Marvel informs him. ‘What? Why?’ Hulkling asks. ‘Because we don’t want another Scarlet Witch on our hands!’ Carol declares. ‘What is that supposed to mean?’ Billy asks. ‘Carol -’ Iron Man begins, but Carol tells Tony that Wiccan should know.
Everyone looks on as Iron Man opens up a projector, displaying images of the Scarlet Witch, Magneto and Quicksilver. Iron Man announces that the Scarlet Witch has the power to alter reality to suit her whim - which makes her the most powerful and dangerous entity in the known universe. He explains that she blamed the Avengers for the loss of her sons, and lashed out at the Avengers, losing control of her powers and causing the deaths of the original Vision, Hawkeye and Cassie’s dad, Ant-Man.
Iron Man continues, revealing that the Scarlet Witch’s father, Magneto, and her brother, Quicksilver, took her to the island of Genosha to help her recover. But Quicksilver feared for his sister’s safety and persuaded the Scarlet Witch to use her powers to transform the world into one where Magneto and his family reigned supreme, until some heroes who were able to remember their former loves fought to reclaim their lives. ‘Devastated by all the blood shed by her family, in the name of mutantkind, the Scarlet Witch cast one last spell -’ Iron Man reveals. ‘No more mutants’. ‘…robbing over a million mutants of their powers and committing what some consider mutant genocide’.
‘And you think I have the power to do something like that…’ Wiccan gasps. ‘…because you believe Tommy and I really are the sons of the Scarlet Witch?’ Speed looks away: ‘Oy, here we go’ he mutters, while Wiccan points out that Speed has his doubts. ‘But how else do you explain a speedster and a witch named “Thomas” and “William” who could be twins?’ Wiccan adds. ‘If only we could find her’ he remarks, motioning at a computer image of the Scarlet Witch, while Iron Man declares that she is gone. ‘When the World of M disappeared, so did the Scarlet Witch’.
Wiccan asks the senior Avengers if they found out who was really responsible. ‘For what?’ Tony asks. ‘The World of M? The mutant decimation?’ Wiccan replies. ‘The Scarlet Witch was responsible’ Captain America declares. ‘That’s impossible’ Billy exclaims, suggesting that someone else had to be controlling her, as the Scarlet Witch was an Avenger. ‘The Scarlet Witch was a murderer’ Ms Marvel - at one time the Scarlet Witch’s best friend - exclaims, declaring that she murdered her teammates and wiped out an entire race. ‘She was Magneto’s daughter to the end’.
Wiccan asks Ms Marvel if she is sure about that, and remarks ‘After all the years she fought at your side, you’re not even willing to give her the benefit of the doubt?’, before asking what happens to him if he turns out to be Magneto’s grandson. Cap, Carol and Tony look around awkwardly, to which Billy exclaims ‘I see. Some heroes you turned out to be’. ‘Wiccan -’ someone calls out, but Billy frowns and turns away from them, telling the Avengers that he appreciates their concern, but announces he will not be staying for their evaluation. ‘Billy…’ Teddy calls out after his boyfriend.
‘…can we talk about the fact that you just walked out on the Avengers?’ Teddy asks as he flies alongside Billy, while the others hover nearby on a platform. ‘I did not’ Wiccan replies. ‘I walked out on Cap and Iron Man and -’, but Teddy interrupts him, ‘Like I said -’ ‘They were going to take me prisoner!’ ‘They were going to take your temperature’ Teddy exclaims. ‘You think?’ Billy asks. ‘I think’ Teddy tells him. ‘Oh my God. I just walked out on the Avengers’ Wiccan whispers.
Speed smiles and asks ‘Why is that a bad thing? Earth’s Mightiest Heroes are afraid of you. That’s how powerful you are. By walking out, you probably earned their respect. Even I’m hating you a little less than usual’. Billy thanks Tommy and tells him that means a lot, before asking if anyone other than the team sociopath would care to weigh in on this. Everyone looks away, before Hawkeye reminds Billy that he took out guys with nukes all on his own. ’And you don’t even remember doing it’ she adds. ’Bad guys, Kate…and I didn’t hurt them’ Billy exclaims.
‘Billy…you lost control’ Teddy exclaims, reaching out to his boyfriend, who asks if he thinks the Avengers are right about him. ‘I didn’t say that’ Hulkling remarks. ’You’re just afraid that I might be’ Wiccan exclaims as he takes flight, away from his boyfriend and teammates. ‘Can we please just talk about this like the mature, semi-adult super heroes that we want the Avengers to think we are?’ someone calls out after him. But Billy replies that he is not interested in what the Avengers think anymore. ‘And this is my problem, not yours’ Wiccan tells them, adding that he will figure it out by himself - but as he opens the front door to his parents home, he is shocked to find Captain America standing in the living toom with his parents.
‘Son…?’ Jeff Kaplan calls out. ‘Is it true?’ Rebecca Kaplan asks her son. Wiccan reminds himself that his whole life he has dreamed that one day Captain America would show up and ask him to move in with the Avengers. ‘So it’s true what they say…be careful what you wish for’ Wiccan tells himself as he leaves his home with Captain America, frowning. ‘It’s just until we get a sense of what you’re capable of’ Cap assures him. Wiccan is surprised as Cap hails a cab: ‘Are you seriously trying to hail us a cab right now?’ he asks. ‘Unless you’d like to take the subway, because unlike Iron Man I can’t -’ Cap begins, but Wiccan tells him that this is one of the things he is capable of, and lifts Cap into the air. ‘Unless you’d rather take the subway’ Wiccan offers.
‘Are you kidding? This is so much better than riding on Iron Man’s boot. C’mon, I’ll race you’ Cap declares. As they fly across the night time sky, Wiccan remarks that Captain America has known the Scarlet Witch longer that anyone. ‘You’re the won who made her an Avenger’ Billy points out. ‘In all that time, did you ever think she’d be capable of hurting her own teammates?’ ‘Never’ Cap replies, but points out that losing a child - losing two children - is something that you never recover from. ‘But I don’t think she has lost her kids’ Wiccan exclaims. ‘Billy, I just met your biological parents -’ Cap points out.
But Wiccan interrupts, explaining that he is not saying he and Tommy are the biological sons of the Scarlet Witch. ‘I’m not insane. I’m talking about the transmigration of souls. Which, now that I’m saying it out loud, sounds a little insane’. Cap warns Billy that a connection to the Scarlet Witch is not going to win him any friends when they get to Avengers Tower. ‘Did you guys even consider that she might be innocent?’ Billy asks. ‘I was there. She’s not innocent’ Cap declares. Wiccan asks Cap how he knows the Scarlet Witch was not possessed by someone - Immortus or Chthon, as it happened before and it could happen again. ‘Because Dr Strange would have detected it’ Cap points out.
Wiccan declares that he heard Dr Strange’s powers are not what they used to be, to which Cap asks Billy if he thinks he is more powerful than Dr Strange. ‘I guess that’s what we’re going to find out’ Billy replies, when suddenly, ‘Not without me, you’re not!’ Hulkling declares as he flies towards Billy and Cap. ‘Teddy!’ Billy gasps. ‘Hulkling, I understand you want to protect your friend, but -’ Cap begins, to which Hulkling interrupts: ‘Captain, I understand you’re concerned about Billy. But if anything happens to him…your primary concern should be me’ Hulkling warns him.
‘Ted-’ Billy begins, but Hulkling tells Cap that he and Billy are partners. ‘Where he goes, I go. And if you have a problem with that -’ but Cap continues onwards, assuring them that he has no problem with that. ‘You don’t?’ Wiccan asks. ‘You don’t?’ Hulkling exclaims. ‘No. In fact…I’ll have Jarvis prepare your room’ Cap tells them.
‘Twin beds?’ Billy remarks as he and Teddy, in civilian clothing, stand before the two single beds, in a dank, dark room. ‘Is it a guest room or a holding cell?’ teddy asks. ‘It’s just lacking a little magic, that’s all’ Billy points out, before using his powers to spruce up the room - a large double bed, furniture, plants and paintings. ‘Better?’ Billy asks. ‘Mints on the pillows. Nice touch’ Teddy remarks. Billy replies that he couldn’t help himself, to which Teddy assures him that he is not complaining.
The young men begin to embrace, with Billy telling Teddy that he is sorry about today. ‘You couldn’t help yourself’ Teddy tells him. ‘What do you think they’ll do to me?’ Billy asks. Teddy tells him that the Avengers will run some tests and sit him down with Dr Strange, and then the two of them will be out of here. ‘Promise?’ Billy asks. ‘Promise’ Teddy assures him. ‘Are we about to make out in Avengers Headquarters?’ Billy asks. ‘The minute you stop talking’ Teddy tells him. ‘I’m not talking anymore. As of now that was the last talking’ Billy exclaims.
But before they can kiss, Speed appears beside them. ‘What the hell are you idiots doing?’ he asks. ‘Tommy -’ Billy exclaims. ‘We go to all the trouble to rescue you, and you two are here making out? You’re prisoners. Prisoners don’t stand around making out with each other. Do they?’ Speed exclaims. The Vision phases into the room, apologizing for interrupting, and announces that he can only disrupt the alarm system for so long before the Avengers notice. Speed asks Billy if he can magic them out, to which Billy begins ‘Actually, Tommy -’, but Speed ignores him, and remarks ‘I guess if you could, you wouldn’t be here, right?’
‘The problem is -’ Billy begins, but Speed tells him that there is no problem and to hold on. ‘What are you doing?’ Teddy asks, as Speed begins to accelerate their collective molecules fast enough to vibrate through that wall. ‘I think I’m going to be sick’ Billy utters, ‘Ideally, without either of you becoming unstable and exploding in the process’ Speed adds, while Teddy tells Tommy to stop. An instant later, the trio are outside. ‘I’m definitely going to be sick’ Billy exclaims, while Tommy tells him not to throw up on him or he will kill him. ‘And ruin an otherwise perfect rescue mission?’ someone calls out.
Billy turns to see the rest of his teammates, and exclaims that he can’t believe it. ‘You guys all showed up to rescue me?’ he asks. Kate tells Billy that they are family, that they stick together no matter what scary, unstoppable powers he may have. ‘Plus, if you do have scary, unstoppable powers, we’re thinking we should probably be on your side’ Patriot points out. ‘But if the Avengers find out -’ Billy begins, to which Patriot declares that they will deal with the Avengers. ‘you and Teddy need to get out of here’.
‘You guys are actually willing to take on the Avengers for me?’ Wiccan asks. ‘If it comes to that’ Kate smiles. ‘That’s the worst idea I’ve ever heard’ Billy tells them, to which Eli remarks that they are hoping it doesn’t come to that. Teddy puts his arms around Billy as Billy tells his friends that he cannot thank them enough for breaking him out, but that he thinks he needs them to break him back in. ‘What?’ Speed exclaims. ‘Why?’ he adds. Billy explains that he runs the Avengers are just going to find him. ‘What other choice do I have?’ he asks. ‘You could find the Scarlet Witch’ a solemn Stature suggests.
‘Think about it. Billy’s not the problem. The problem is Wanda Maximoff. She’s the one who lost her mind. She’s the one who made mutants an endangered species. She’s the one who murdered my dad’ Cassie declares. She asks her friends why the Scarlet Witch did that, and points out that it was because she thought she lost her kids. ‘If we can show her that her sons are alive and well, she can undo all of it. She can reverse the spell, give the mutants back their powers…and she can bring my dad back to life’ Cassie declares, teary-eyed.
‘Cassie, I know how much you miss your father, but -’ the Vision begins, while Stature points out that the Scarlet Witch already brought Wonder Man back from the dead, and the original Hawkeye. ‘So why not my dad?’ she asks. The young heroes gather close as Cassie exclaims that if they really are a family, they should at least try, for Billy’s sake. Suddenly, a voice exclaims ‘My sentiments exactly, child…’ and the Young Avengers all look up - as the Master of Magnetism descends upon them, exclaiming ‘which is why I think it’s time you boys met your grandfather, Magneto!’….

‘Magneto…’ utters Tommy Shepherd a.k.a. Speed as he stands with his teammates in an alley near Avengers Tower. ‘You may call me Grandfather, if you like’ Magneto declares as he hovers over the teenage heroes. ‘Then it’s true…you are our grandfather!’ Speed exclaims. ‘Sure, when Magneto says it, you believe it’ Billy “Wiccan” Kaplan mutters. Magneto tells Tommy and Billy that if they are indeed the spiritual heirs of his daughter, Wanda, then he is their grandfather. ‘Come. We have much to discuss’ he exclaims as he encases Speed and Wiccan in a magnetic bubble, carrying them as he takes flight.
‘Wait! You can’t just -’ Speed begins, while Wiccan asks ‘Where are you taking us?’ Magneto explains that he is taking them to Wundagore Mountain in Transia. ‘Magneto, stop!’ Teddy Altman a.k.a. Hulkling calls out. But Kate Bishop a.k.a. the female Hawkeye tells her friend that Magneto is a terrorist. ‘They’re not the best listeners’ she points out, before turning to the Vision, who begins to analyze the magnetic structure that his teammates are trapped in. Cassie “Stature” Lang increases her mass to grab the bubble, while Teddy transforms into his winged Hulkling form and flies after Magneto.
‘At the risk of your killing me with a single glance, sir, they’re not going anyway ere with you’ Hulkling exclaims. ‘They’re going to have to, Hulkling’ Magneto replies. ‘That is, if they want to meet their mother. But it should be their choice, don’t you agree?’ Magneto replies. Wiccan “magics up” his costume as he informs Magneto that they have already been to Transia, and that the Scarlet Witch was not there. ‘How do you even know if she’s alive?’ Hulkling asks Magneto, who explains that Wanda’s powers stem from the life force itself. ‘when she cast her final spell, she was trying to restore life - not destroy it’.
Magneto explains that now he wants to do the same for his daughter, before pointing out that if Wiccan and Speed are his grandsons, they are the only connection he still has to his daughter. ‘Which makes you the key to finding her’ he declares, before removing his helmet, and asking if they will help him. ‘Do we look like idiots to you. Wait. Don’t answer that’ someone exclaims, while Eli “Patriot” Bradley exclaims ‘We are not helping a genocidal terrorist -’ he is interrupted by Magneto: ‘A former genocidal terrorist, actually -’, Patriot then continues: ‘ - recover the most powerful weapon on the planet’. Magneto quickly points out that the Scarlet Witch is not a weapon, but his daughter.
‘She’s daddy’s little girl, all right. She killed three Avengers and remade the entire world in your image’ Hawkeye points out. Magneto admits that what happened to Wanda was his fault alone, and that all he seeks is an opportunity to restore the balance and mutantkind in the process. ‘And we’re just supposed to believe you?’ Hulkling asks. Magneto declares that if he wanted to kidnap his grandsons, he would have done so after scattering the atoms of the Young Avengers with that glance that Hulkling mentioned earlier. ‘Instead, I’ve come asking for help. From children, no less’ he exclaims.
‘What do you want us to do?’ Speed asks. ‘Speed -’ Wiccan begins, but Tommy tells Billy that they should at least hear Magneto out. ‘We are not teaming up with Magneto’ Patriot declares, to which Magneto remarks that he does not recall inviting Patriot. ‘We’re a team. If you want me and Speed, you get the whole team’ Wiccan exclaims, to which team leader Hawkeye tells Billy that she does not recall volunteering. Suddenly, a blast of energy separates Magneto from the Young Avengers. ‘Guys! Look out!’ Wiccan shouts. ‘Get back!’ Magneto exclaims.
‘The Avengers!’ Stature shouts. ‘But who are they attacking? Magneto or us?’ Wiccan asks ‘I think that depends on whether we give them any trouble or not’ Hulkling tells his boyfriend as Wolverine a.k.a. Logan, Steven Rogers a.k.a. Captain America, Peter Parker a.k.a. Spider-Man, Carol “Ms Marvel” Danvers, Luke Cage and Tony “Iron Man” Stark appear. Stature lifts Speed, Patriot and Hawkeye up to the rooftop where the Avengers stand ready. ‘I warned you to stay away from the kids, Erik’ Wolverine reminds Magneto, who tells Logan to stop this nonsense before someone gets hurt. ‘And by someone, of course, I mean you!’ Magneto declares.
‘I heard you were one of the good guys now, Magneto. I know it doesn’t come naturally to you, so here’s a tip…good guys don’t kidnap children!’ Iron Man exclaims as he unleashes a repulsor blast at Magneto. ‘Stark, Listen -’ Magneto begins, while Wiccan flies towards Iron Man, telling him that he doesn’t understand, before Wiccan throws up a force field to protect Magneto and announces that Magneto did not come here to fight, that he came here for help. ‘He wants to find the Scarlet Witch!’ Wiccan exclaims. ‘Why? So we can all go back to living in the World of M?’ Ms Marvel asks. ‘So she can make things right’ Wiccan exclaims. ‘Right for whom?’ Iron Man asks.
Wiccan points out that the Scarlet Witch is Magneto’s daughter and an Avenger, so asks why they cannot all look for her together. ‘Because the Avengers don’t want to find her, William. If they find her, they’ll have to kill her’ Magneto explains, warning Wiccan that the minute he steps out of line, they will kill him also. ‘I couldn’t have said it better myself’ Wolverine exclaims as he lunges at Wiccan, before Magneto casts him away. ‘Thank you, Wolverine. I think the young man understands who his allies are now’ Magneto points out as Wolverine falls to the ground.
Hulkling flies along and picks Wiccan up: ‘You do know Magneto’s only using you, right?’ he asks his boyfriend. ‘Of course. He’s Magneto. But I can’t let him know that I know or I won’t be able to use him back’ Billy replies. ‘As long as you’ve got a plan’ Teddy tells him. Suddenly, Spider-Man swings alongside them and asks ‘So, what’s the plan? To outsmart and fight the Avengers and Magneto at the tender age of, what, fifteen?’. ‘Sixteen’ Billy corrects him. ‘Kid, I was a teenage super hero, so take it from me…that is a terrible plan’ Spider-Man exclaims, before Ms Marvel cuts the young lovers off: ‘He’s right, you know. You kids are not going to win this one’ she tells them.
‘Is that a threat?’ Hulkling asks. ‘Nope. I just call ‘em like I see ‘em’ Carol replies, before telling the boys to take a look for themselves. The boys look down, to where Magneto and the Young Avengers are battling the Avengers. Wiccan tells Hulkling that Ms Marvel is right: ‘We have to stop this’ he exclaims. ‘How? By turning ourselves in?’ Teddy asks. ‘By finding the Scarlet Witch’ Wiccan exclaims. Hulkling tells him that he doesn’t think the Avengers would approve, to which Billy exclaims that he doesn’t think he cares. ‘I don’t think I’ve ever been more attracted to you’ Hulkling smiles. ‘Try to hold on to that feeling, in case this doesn’t work’ Wiccan remarks.
‘What are you doing?’ Carol asks, to which Wiccan replies that he is not entirely sure. ‘Brace yourself’ he remarks, as massive burst of magical energy courses from Wiccan to the ground below, scattering the Avengers away from the Young Avengers - and when the Avengers gain their bearings, Iron Man points out that Young Avengers are gone - as is Magneto. ‘Yeah, but how?’ Spider-Man asks. Luke Cage mutters that he is guessing the magic lightning had something to do with it, to which Wolverine exclaims ‘It’s official: Wanda Junior’s getting on my nerves’.
Spider-Man asks what they do now, to which Ms Marvel suggests that they follow them. ‘How? Unless you’re the kind of Marvel who can summon magic lightning -’ Spider-Man remarks, but Carol suggests they call Dr Strange. ‘And then what? Declare war on the Young Avengers? They haven’t done anything wrong’ Luke Cage points out. ‘They’ve allied themselves with a known mutant terrorist’ Carol remarks. ‘He’s their grandfather’ Luke points out. ‘You don’t actually believe that’ Carol exclaims, frowning. ‘How else do you explain two magical speedy twins who look like little Magnetos?’ Cage asks.
Iron Man points out that they all knew the Wanda thing would come back to haunt them. ‘Which is why we shoulda gutted her when we had the chance’ Logan snarls. ‘Logan -’ Cap begins, to which Logan exclaims ‘I don’t know what you babies are crying about. We couldn’t be in a sweeter spot right now. We’ll let Wanda Junior find the Witch for us…and then we’ll take them both out!’
‘Everybody all right?’ Wiccan asks as the Young Avengers and Magneto materialize on a grassy landscape. ‘This was your revenge for my super-speeding you through that wall, wasn’t it?’ Speed mutters, while Hawkeye asks ‘Where are we?’ Magneto looks around and announces that they are at Wundagore Mountain, in Transia - the birthplace of the Scarlet Witch. The Young Avengers take in their surroundings, while Hawkeye asks Wiccan if he just magiced them halfway around the world. ‘He just made us all fugitives, is what he did’ Patriot exclaims. ‘Thanks to Billy, we just teamed up with Magneto, fought the Avengers and fled the country. We’re not the Young Avengers anymore. We’re the Young Brotherhood of Evil Mutants!’
‘You’re a mutant?’ Magneto asks. ‘That’s not the point. The point is Billy should’ve asked us first’ Patriot replies. ‘You’re right. I’m sending you guys home’ Wiccan announces, until Teddy puts a hand on his shoulder: ‘No, you’re not’ Teddy tells him. With tears in his eyes, Wiccan replies that this is his fight, that he is the one the Avengers want to lock up, he is the one who wants to find the Scarlet Witch. ‘And maybe I shouldn’t. Maybe she’s dead, or maybe she doesn’t want to be found, or maybe she’s not even my real mom. But what if she is? What if she’s out there and she’s in trouble, and I can help her put everything back the way it was’ Wiccan exclaims.
‘Then you should do it. And we should help you’ Hawkeye declares. ‘Kate -’ Wiccan begins, ‘Shut up. We’re a team’ Kate exclaims, before Patriot asks if Magneto is a member of this team. ‘Did he just leave the X-Men to become the oldest living Young Avenger? Or are we taking orders from him now?’ Magneto steps forward and tells Patriot that he needn’t worry about him. ‘If Wiccan is anything like his mother, he’s far more powerful than I’ Magneto declares, adding that his search for Wanda failed, which is why he is relying on them now. Patriot asks why they are in Transia, pointing out that Tommy and Billy already looked here.
Magneto declares that Wanda was born here, that this is where her powers were strongest, and that he thought it might provoke a kindred response in Wiccan. ‘Besides, it can’t hurt to take another look’ he adds. ‘True’ But since we’re fugitives now…would anyone mind if I made our wardrobe a little less…conspicuous’ Wiccan asks, before he magics up local attire for his teammates and Magneto.
‘Is that a guitar case or are you just happy to see me?’ Patriot asks as one materializes in Hawkeye’s’ hands. ‘Really Billy? “The Sound of Music”?’ Kate asks. ‘What are we, the Uncanny Von Trapps?’ Speed jokes, while Teddy announces that “the Sound of Music” is Billy’s favourite film. ‘It is not. It’s one of my favourite movies’ Wiccan smiles, before the group begins their journey. Magneto, dressed in a suit, leads the group along a dirt-track, while Stature and the Vision, dressed as a nun, follow, and Sped, Wiccan and Hulkling follow them, while Hawkeye and Patriot hang back from the others.
‘You know what I’m thinking?’ Patriot asks Hawkeye, who replies that she can guess, and tells him that he is thinking that none of this would have happened if he was team leader instead of her. ‘Yes’ Patriot replies, adding that he is also thinking about how much he is going to miss her when Magneto eventually betrays them, and the Scarlet Witch kills them - and he dies wearing an outfit last seen on Rolfe, the Nazi boyfriend. ‘Don’t be ridiculous - Teddy’s Rolfe, you’re Friedrich’ Kate smiles. ‘You actually know that?’ Patriot asks, surprised. ‘Who doesn’t know that?’ Kate asks.
Patriot tells Kate that the more pressing question is how they can let the Avengers know where they are. ‘We don’t Kate tells him, pointing out that the Avengers have made their position more than clear. ‘And they happen to be right’ Eli exclaims. ‘Were they right when they ordered us to stop being the Young Avengers?’ Kate asks. ‘Right now, I’m thinking they were’ Eli replies, to which Kate tells him that she will have Wiccan send him home. Patriot tells Kate that he is not leaving her hear, to which Kate replies that she is not going with him, and as she speeds up to walk with the others, she suggests to Eli that he figure out which team he is on.
Cassie walks alongside the Vision and points out that he has been disturbingly quiet. ‘That’s because you’re not going to like anything I have to say’ the Vision replies. ‘I’m a big girl - some of the time - I can take it’ Cassie jokes. ‘All right, but bear in mind, I am a synthezoid, so my perspective is primarily technological. I don’t profess to know much about magic’ the Vision exclaims, before adding that he does know that magic comes at a cost. The Vision tells Cassie that if the Scarlet Witch is able to bring her father back to life, he is afraid of what that cost might be. ‘You think it might be me?’ Cassie asks. ‘I think you would do anything for your father…but believe me when I tell you that your father would not want to live in a world without you in it. And neither would I’ the Vision exclaims. ’Vision ’ Cassie begins, to which the Vision turns his head, and reminds Cassie that he told her she would not like anything he had to say. ‘That’s where you’re wrong, Sparky’ Cassie replies, taking the Vision’s hand.
‘Our search begins here…at Magda’s grave’ Magneto announces as he stands at the grave stone, which has a plant growing over it. ‘Who was she?’ Wiccan asks. ‘My wife. Your grandmother’ Magneto announces.
Shown with flashback images:Magneto explains that Magda left him when he, like Wanda, lashed out and lost control of his powers, causing the deaths of those who persecuted them. Then, nine moths later, Magda found asylum here on Wundagore, and gave birth to Wanda and Pietro, but Magneto did not even know she was pregnant. Then, when Magda died, the twins were raised by a Roma couple, Django and Marya Maximoff, until the twins’ mutant abilities emerged, and they provoked violence in those who did not understand them. That’s is when Magneto became their champion and protector - unaware of their blood tie, they twins joined his mutant Brotherhood as the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver.
Present:Magneto explains that his zealotry drove the twins away, just as it did their mother. ‘Now my daughter has vanished - my son wants to kill me - and I can’t say that I blame either of them’ Magneto adds, admitting that he behaved unconscionably towards his family, taking for granted the very relationships he should have prized above all. Magneto puts a hand each on Wiccan and Speed’s shoulders and tells them that he promises not to make the same mistake with them. He tells them that they are his last hope of bringing his family back together and healing the wounds that have caused so many mutants and humans so much pain.
‘So, how do we do that?’ Billy asks. ‘You’re the mage, William. I was hoping you would tell me’ Magneto replies. Wiccan suggests they join hands and reach out with their feelings. Speed pulls back, exclaiming that he doesn’t have feelings and does not hold hands. ‘Careful, lad, or you’ll end up like me’ Magneto warns him. ‘I should be so lucky’ Speed replies, before Wiccan “magics up” their costumes, and the three take each others hands around Magda’s grave. ‘And I have a new favourite grandson’ Magneto remarks. ‘Don’t count me out yet’ Wiccan asks, before telling them to close their eyes and clear their minds. ‘Let’s try to focus on…the Scarlet Witch’ Wiccan exclaims, before announcing that she is here, in the village, that if feels like her, so must be her.
‘I’m on it’ Tommy exclaims as he speeds away, despite Billy asking him to wait. ‘Why?’ Tommy asks. ‘You afraid I’ll be the Scarlet Witch’s favorite, too?’ he jibes, before boasting that he will be back in a flash, he speeds around the village, checking for the Scarlet Witch - until coming to an abrupt stop as he is confronted by a similar looking man dressed in green and white - Pietro Maximoff a.k.a. Quicksilver! The arrogant mutant introduces himself to Speed and warns him that if he and his friends do not leave this place, his father will not be the only person he kills today.
Magneto flies the Young Avengers and himself over to Quicksilver and Speed and exclaims ‘Thomas, I see you’ve met your uncle. Pietro, allow me to introduce -’ he begins, but Quicksilver cuts him off, boasting ‘I know who they are, father’. Pietro announces that having seen Wiccan’s exploits on the evening news, he knows why Magneto has taken such a sudden grandfather interest in them. Quicksilver warns Magneto that if he does not release these children and leave his sister alone, he promises that the Avengers and the X-Men will join forces - but Magneto interrupts him: ‘You know where your sister is?’ he asks.
‘No’ Quicksilver declares. ‘But I know that if neither of us has been able to find Wanda after all this time, it means Wanda doesn’t want to be found’. He tells Magneto to relinquish the children and return to the X-Men, otherwise he will personally lead a crusade of Earth’s heroes against him. Wiccan approaches Quicksilver and calmly tells him that Magneto did not force them into this, that they came of their own free - he doesn’t finish his sentence, as Quicksilver grabs Wiccan and throws him over his shoulder, and speeds away from the others.
Wiccan tells Quicksilver that this is not how he was hoping they would meet. Pietro replies that the feeling is mutual, to which Wiccan asks him if he knows that kidnapping him is pointless. ‘I am not kidnapping you. I’m saving you from my father. I am taking you out of his clutches. Out of harms way’ Quicksilver explains, adding that Wiccan should feel free to thank him at any point. His cloak billowing behind them, Billy replies that it is not because he is not grateful, only he if he wanted to get away from Magneto, he would have done it magically - with magic.
‘I see. Just as you will when you decide it’s time to get away from me?’ Quicksilver asks. ‘Unless you want to turn around and go back’ Wiccan tells him. ‘And why in God’s name would I want to do that?’ Pietro asks. ‘Because I think you want to find your sister every bit as much as we do, if not more. And because there’s no reason why we can’t all work together’ Wiccan explains. Quicksilver smiles: ‘Oh, but there is. There’s my father. However…there’s no reason the two of us can’t work together’ Wiccan looks at Quicksilver, just as a voice calls out ‘Oh, but there is…there’s me’.
Speed races up alongside Quicksilver and Wiccan, and Billy smiles, as he explains ‘Quicksilver, this is my sort-of twin brother, Speed’. Quicksilver mutters that he knows who Speed is, and continues to race along - until Speed overtakes him, and exclaims that he is offended Quicksilver did not kidnap them both. ‘After all, you and I have so much in common, Uncle Pte. The super-speed, the brooding bad-boy thing the weird white-headedness…though I suppose it must be a blow to the old ego, knowing there’s a version of you out there that’s younger, better looking…and faster’ Speed declares.
‘If it’s a race you want, nephew…’ Quicksilver begins. ‘Do I get a say in this?’ Wiccan asks, still over Quicksilver’s shoulder. ‘…then a race you shall have’ Quicksilver exclaims, speeding off. ‘Yeah. I didn’t think so’ Wiccan mutters. ‘C’mon, old man, is that the best you’ve got?’ Speed asks, when suddenly, ‘What the Devil?’ Quicksilver calls out as a piece of the land moves upwards, causing Quicksilver to come to an abrupt halt. ‘The sudden promontory out of nowhere? That’s kind of your dad’s thing, isn’t it?’ Wiccan asks. Pietro remarks that Magneto’s powers appear to be stronger than ever. ‘Even at this distance. The man doesn’t age’. Wiccan remarks. ‘That’s good news for you. Genetically, I mean’.
Down below, Speed calls out ‘Hellooo, up there! I don’t know if either of you noticed, but…I won!’ he calls out. Speed boasts that he is faster than Quicksilver, to which Wiccan remarks ‘Looking on the bright side…’ ‘If we must’ Pietro mutters. ‘…it’s not as if your father just tried to kill to you’ Wiccan points out. ‘Race you back to the village?’ Speed calls out, while Wiccan suggests that Magneto may actually want to make up for his past. ‘Nephew. The last time I allowed myself to believe that…my father tried to kill me’ Quicksilver replies after putting Wiccan down, he then speeds off, with Speed behind him, ‘I’ll even give you a head start’ Tommy calls out.
Quicksilver grabs some wooden stakes holding a fence together and declares that this time his father will not have the opportunity to kill him. ‘Best two out of three?’ Speed asks. ‘Because he’ll be dead!’ Pietro shouts as he suddenly hurls several wooden stakes past some civilians and at Magneto. ‘Look out!’ Patriot calls out as the Young Avengers attempt to block the wooden stakes. But out of the corner of his eyes, Magneto notices a young woman - ‘Oh my God…Wanda?’ Magneto calls out. ‘Get down!’ Patriot shouts, pushing Magneto to the ground as more stakes fly towards them - one of which strikes the girl resembling Wanda through the back - with a strange noise.
Everyone gathers around and looks down at the girl, ‘Wanda…?’ Magneto calls out. ‘Is she…?’ Quicksilver asks. ‘…she’s a robot?’ someone exclaims. ‘Not just a robot…a Doombot’ the Vision explains as the mess of wires and circuitry stares back at the Young Avengers. ‘No wonder no one’s been able to find the Scarlet Witch…she’s the prisoner of DOOM!’….

Untitled
The inn at Mount Wundagore, Transia. "The Scarlet Witch is a Doombot?" one of the Young Avengers asks as they stand around a table, along with Magneto and Pietro "Quicksilver" Maximoff, while the destroyed robot that was supposed to be the Scarlet Witch is laid out in front of them. "We don't know that" Quicksilver points out. "We know she's a robot who looks exactly like a Doombot" Tommy Shepherd a.k.a. Speed points out. "My point, "nephew",is that this machine could easily have been planted here by someone who wants us to think it"s a Doombot"™ Quicksilver replies. "Somemone like me, perhaps?" Magneto asks.
Quicksilver points out that his father and Doom have been rivals for decades and asks what better way to motivate an invasion of Latveria than by convincing Wanda's children that he is holding her captive there. "Judge for yourself, Pietro" Magneto replies and uses his power to open the robot up, and asks "Who but Doom has the technology to create such a device? And who but Doom has the power to make it seem as if Wanda simply disappeared - leaving no trace of her or her magics?" "Doom's tech can do that?" Billy "Wiccan" Kaplan asks. "No--¦but his sorcery can" Magneto replies.
Magneto announces that like Wiccan and Speed, Victor Von Doom lost his mother at an early age. Magneto adds that, like their mother, Cynthia Von Doom practiced witchcraft to fight for the lives and the rights of others, but in the end, she lost the fight, her life and her eternal soul. Magneto explains that Victor was already a gifted scientist and turned his attention to the mystic arts to reclaim his motherâ€™s soul - until his efforts to combine science and magic backfired, burning him in the same fires that consumed his mother - and damning him to live the rest of his life as Doctor Doom, the self-proclaimed King of Latveria, the master of science and magic - and the most powerful man alive.
"Apart from you, father" Quicksilver remarks. Magneto frowns as he declares that the only person more powerful than Doom, is Quicksilver's sister - the Scarlet Witch. He remarks that Wanda possesses the unique ability to transform reality to suit her whim. Magneto points out that whoever controls Wanda controls the very fabric of existence - "As you well know, my son" Magneto adds. "If Doom has Wanda, we would know by now. We'd all be scurrying around like Doombots, doing his infernal bidding"™ Pietro exclaims. "How do we know we're not?" Magneto asks. Quicksilver replies that he would assume Doom would have better things for him to do than stand around arguing with his father. "Really? I'd have thought he found the perfect way to torture you" Magneto replies, causing Pietro to frown.
The new Vision and Kate "Hawkeye" Bishop stand behind Quicksilver as he asks what his father suggest they do. "Declare war on Doom? Storm the castle?" With Teddy "Hulkling" Altman and Eli Bradley a.k.a. Patriot stand behind Magneto, who announces that he thinks, between the nine of them, they would make a rather formidable search and rescue team. "That's your plan?" Quicksilver asks. Cassie "Stature" Lang stands next to the new Vision as Quicksilver continues: "To lead a group of children into what is almost certainly a death trap?" Quicksilver declares that in all these years his father has not changed a big. "Have you? It would almost be touching, if it weren't so demonic".
Patriot points out that the Young Avengers may be children, but that they are not stupid enough to risk starting another world war by engaging Doom. "I am" Wiccan exclaims. "Wiccan is" Speed mutters. "No, I mean, I'll go" Wiccan explains. "I'm with Tommy on this one" Hulkling remarks as he stands beside Wiccan, his boyfriend. Wiccan asks why they need risk sending everybody when he can magic his way in, get the lay of the land, and get out. "Doom will never know I was there" Billy declares. "That's because you're not going" Teddy tells his boyfriend.
Magneto addresses Wiccan as William and tells him that he appreciates the offer, but if they go, they go together. "And who exactly will be leading this expedition, Magneto?" Patriot demands. Magneto replies that Patriot may lead if he likes, but that he suspects Hawkeye might have something to say about that. "That is, if she were speaking to you" Magneto points out. "I wasn't suggesting that I -" Patriot begins. "Quite right. If we're up against Doom, we'll need our most powerful and experienced soldier taking point" Magneto declares. "That would be you, but -" Patriot begins. "Thank you -" Magneto interrupts, before he too is interrupted by Quicksilver, who exclaims "Not so fast, father" and points out that while Magneto is obviously the most experienced player on the field, he is not the most powerful. "Or did you not see the news footage of your grandson magicking all of Midtown Manhattan into a come with a wave of his hands?"
"That was an accident2 Wiccan declares, hanging his head. Quicksilver replies that he knows, and remarks "Imagine the kind of damage you could do if you really applied yourself. Perhaps even enough to frighten my father into behaving honorably for once in his life...rather than betraying us the moment he gets what he wants". Magneto replies that his only desire to secure the safety and well-being of his daughter. Quicksilver points out that he has heard all that before, and declares that this time he hopes it is true, for his father's sake. "Because otherwise, you'll have to deal with Wiccan. And if he's anything like his mother... then God help you" Quicksilver declares.
Shortly, Magneto leads the Young Avengers through the inn, telling them that he hopes they find everything they need in their rooms. He points out that the accommodations re a bit rustic, but they will do for one night. "I suspect you all have a great deal you'd like to say about me--behind my back, of course-- so Ill leave you to it"™ Magneto declares, before continuing on down the hall, leaving the Young Avengers alone. "Um guysâ€¦whereâ€™s Billy?" Stature asks, looking around. Kate points out that he was just here. "You don't think he " Patriot begins, but Teddy declares "I think wherever he is, I'm going to find him...and then I'm going to kill him".
Outside, in the dead of night, Wiccan stands on a ledge, magical energy swirls around him as he chants "I want to go to Latveria" over and over, when suddenly, Quicksilver races up alongside him. "Mind if I join you?" Pietro asks, pointing out that if Wiccan has never been to Latveria, he will need someone to show him around. "And, of course, someone to keep you from being tortured and eventually murdered" he adds. "I wasn't - I was just -" Wiccan begins, but Pietro tells him that if he intends to lie about it, then he suggests that in the future he doesn't announce his intentions every time he casts a spell. "You'll find your enemies are easier to defeat if you haven't just told them what you're about to do to them. The element of surprise and all that" Pietro remarks.
"Sometimes saying it out loud helps me focus" Wiccan explains, before Pietro admits that he thought he would have more in common with Wiccan's brother, the speedster, and reveals to Wiccan that he is here, disobeying his father's orders the moment he turns his back. "I'm impressed" Pietro adds, but suddenly, a voice calls out "Really? I'm disappointed--and not just because my idiot boyfriend is behaving every bit as irresponsibly as the Avengers predicted he would. But because youyou're encouraging him, Quicksilver!" Hulkling exclaims as he and the other Young Avengers appear nearby.
"How do you not get that if Doom is powerful enough to have captured the Scarlet Witch he's not likely to be threatened by a tenth-grade wizard and a guy who can run really fast?" Hulkling exclaims. "Teddy -" Wiccan begins, while Quicksilver asks if he may interject."You may not" Teddy tells him. Teddy announces that he has tried to be supportive of Billy's connecting with his family, because Billy supported him through the Kree-Skrull jamboree that was his family reunion. "But you know what's even crazier than a Kree-Skrull jamboree?" Teddy asks. "Taking time out for this particular tirade?" Quicksilver asks, arms folded.
"THE MAXIMOFF FAMILY!" Hulkling declares. "You people are every bit as toxic as I thought you'd be, but you're nowhere near as smart!" he adds. Hulkling tells Quicksilver that if he wants to sneak off to Latveria without him, then he is welcome to, as the less he and his friends have to do with Quicksilver, his father, or Doctor Doom, the better. "But if you somehow convince my idiot boyfriend to go with you--I WILL RIP YOUR LEGS OFF!" Hulkling warns Quicksilver. "Do we understand each other, Pietro?" Hulkling asks, standing close to Pietro, who frowns. "I thought so. C'mon, Billy" Teddy calls out.
Meanwhile, inside Avengers Tower, half a world away. "So, what's your next move?" someone asks. "We're going to find the Scarlet Witch--thanks to Wonder Man!" Tony Stark a.k.a. Iron Man announces. "Why me?" the inactive Avenger Simon "Wonder Man" Williams asks. "Because your connection with Wanda was stronger than anyone else's" Steve Rogers a.k.a. Captain America points out, while Logan a.k.a. Wolverine, Carol Danvers a.k.a. Ms. Marvel, Luke Cage and Peter "Spider-Man" Parker round out the rest of the present Avengers. "What about Quicksilver? Or the Vision? They were married -" Simon begins, but Iron Man interrupts him, "You are part of her, Simon" he tells his friend. "What does that mean?" Simon asks.
"It means you died. You sacrificed your life to save Wanda's by absorbing the blast from a Kree ion cannon. And then, years later, she brought you back to life by sheer force of will. Your whole existence is the last remaining vestige of the Scarlet Witch's magic on this plane!"Iron Man declares. "So, you thought you'd use my energy signature to try to locate her" Simon remarks. "Exactly" Iron Man tells him. "And then what?" Simon asks. "You mean -?" Tony asks. "I mean, what exactly do you plan to do with Wanda once you find her?" Wonder Man asks. "Or haven't the mighty Avengers figured that out yet?" Cap and Iron Man look at each other, perplexed, before Wolverine announces that they are going to kill her.
"Logan -"Cap begins, but Wolverine unsheathes his claws, and declares "You want to make me the bad guy for saying it out loud, Cap, that's fine. But the last time we had this debate, we ended up as slaves to Magneto-Land". Wolverine points out that the Scarlet Witch murdered their friends, stole their lives, and then took out about a million mutants. "And not one of you can tell me she won't do something like that - or worse - again. So the only permanent solution is to kill her. And if were smart, we'd get rid of Wiccan, too"Wolverine declares. "You made this man an Avenger?" Wonder Man frowns.
"What happened to you, Williams? Did the Witch cast a spell on you, too? Or are you hoping she'll pick you over the robot? Cause from where I'm standing, the robot's looking more of a man than you'll ever be!"Wolverine exclaims, to which Wonder Man suggests to him that he might want to stand back, and look again, as he punches Wolverine through the wall and down onto the street below. "Guess I hit a nerve"Logan mutters as he gathers himself. "You all right?" Cap asks. "Are you serious?" Wolverine replies. Cap extends a hand to help Wolverine up, pointing out that Wonder Man does have Sentry-level strength. "No, I mean--are you serious about Wanda?" Wolverine exclaims, grabbing Capâ€™s hand and putting his adamantium claws to Cap's neck. Logan declares that he doesn't think Cap is serious, and reminds everyone that Cap was in love with the Scarlet Witch, too. Cap suggests they concentrate on finding Wanda, and then they can worry about how to proceed. "You don't have to worry about a thing. At least, not if I find her first" Wolverine boasts as he walks away.
"Logan! Get back here!" Cap calls out, but Iron Man tells him to let Wolverine go, as they don't need him for this mission, they need Wonder Man. "What do you say, Simon? You in?" Tony asks. "Absolutely not" Simon replies. "Simon -" Carol begins, but Wonder Man declares that there is no way he can do what they are asking him to as part of a team, and certainly not a team that continues to blame the Scarlet Witch for the team's own mistakes. Wonder Man walks away from the others, announcing that he is going to try to find Wanda before Wolverine does. "Not because you asked me to--but because I owe her that much. We all do" Simon declares as he takes flight.
Back in the inn at Mount Wundagore Billy and Teddy are in bed. Teddy has an arm over his boyfriend, and is fast asleep, while Billy lies wide awake. He carefully gets out of bed so as not to wake Teddy, puts his costume on, and writes a letter to Teddy:
Dear Teddy,You are without a doubt the best boyfriend in the entire world.You're kind.You're generous.You threaten to maim people for me.You're forgiving. At least I hope you'll be.You'll be angry at first.I know I'd be angry if you did anything even remotely this stupid.But please don't worry.Its not like I'm planning to invade Latveria, confront Doctor Doom and rescue the Scarlet Witch tonight.At least that's not the plan.I promise there will be no castle-storming whatsoever.Just a little on-site recon.Besides, Doom's palace will be so heavily guarded I probably won't be able to get anywhere near it.However, it occurs to me that if you're reading this, something may have gone terribly wrong-- because the plan to was to come back and destroy this note without your ever knowing I had gone.Which means, of course, that your idiot boyfriend has probably been captured by Doctor Doom.I'd tell you not to risk your own safety by coming to rescue me, but I know you will anyway, because - as previously stated - you are the best boyfriend in the entire world.All my love (and apologies),Billy xx
An instant later, Billy has teleported himself to Latveria, and flies down toward the sprawling castle. He flies around it, and lands in the castle grounds - where he is promptly surrounded by a group of Doombots. Billy tells himself not to panic, and knows that he can just magic himself back to Transia. But decides that since he is already here, he might as well see now far he can take this - and he casts an illusion spell around him. "Sorry to have disturbed you, but I seem to have gotten lost. Would you mind showing me back to my room?" Wiccan asks - appearing as the Scarlet Witch!
"For the record, I am not the sort of person who enjoys dressing up in his mother's clothes--but I have to say--I think I made quite an impression" Billy thinks to himself, as he notices the Doombots' eyes all light up. As the Doombots lead Wiccan back to the Scarlet Witch's room, Billy thinks to himself that either the Scarlet Witch really is here, or Doom is on to him. As he closes the door, he drops the illusion - and a hand reaches out from behind him, "Or even worse--I've just had my ass kicked-- by my mother!" Wiccan tells himself as the Scarlet Witch grabs Wiccan and throws him to the floor.
"Who are you? And what are you doing in my room?" Wanda demands, putting a foot on Wiccan's chest to hold him to the ground. "I'm..." Wiccan begins, wanting to say "I'm your son". He stutters again, while thinking "I'm the son you thought was dead, but whose soul migrated into the body of a gay, Jewish Avengers fan boy who grey up on the Upper West Side". He stutters as he tries to find an explanation once more. "I'm an idiot" Billy tells himself, before informing the surprised Scarlet Witch that he is here to rescue her from Doctor Doom.
"And how do you intend to do that?" Wanda asks, allowing Billy to stand up. "Well,--in spite of the fact that you just threw me on the ground and pinned me there with your high-heeled boot, I'm actually kind of a super hero" Wiccan announces. "Reallyâ" Wanda remarks. "In training" Billy adds. "Clearly" Wanda points out. "But I have powers and everything" Billy informs her "˜Powers?" Wanda asks. "Magic powers" Billy reveals, before introducing himself as Wiccan of the Young Avengers. "We met once before - outside the Mansion? You probably don't remember me, but I'm a huge fan, and I'm here on behalf of your father and -" Wiccan begins, before the Scarlet Witch interrupts him, telling him that is impossible, as her father is dead.
"No. He'™s fine. He's worried about you. Quicksilver is, too, but -" Wiccan begins, while Wanda asks "Who?" "Quicksilver? Your brother?"Wiccan replies. "Young man, I'm afraid you confuse me with someone else. My name is Wanda Maximoff" Wanda replies. Wiccan smiles and replies that he knows, and that remarks that right now, she is either pretending to have amnesia so she can make a new start, which he tells her he more than understands, or suggests that she actually does have amnesia and nothing he is saying makes any sense to her at all, which he is sorry about. "Either way, we have to get you out of here" Wiccan smiles.
Wanda smiles back and tells Wiccan that she appreciates his concern, but assures him that she is quite safe. "In fact, I'm getting married tomorrow" she reveals. "You're what? To whom?" Billy asks, surprised. "To me!" a voice announces as a certain figure, flanked by Doombots, enters Wanda's room. "Dr Doom!" gaps Wiccan".

Untitled
Billy Kaplan a.k.a. Wiccan is suddenly knocked back by the monarch of Latveria - Doctor Doom! ‘He’s fought the Fantastic Four, the X-Men and the Avengers - sometimes all at the same time - and now Doctor Doom is fighting me!’ Billy thinks to himself as he dodges Doom’s blasts. ‘A high school sophomore whose magic powers essentially come from wishing on stuff really hard. Which, I have to admit, is insanely cool from a fan boy perspective…even if Doctor Doom is about to kill me’ Wiccan thinks to himself, while Wanda Maximoff - the Scarlet Witch - looks on.
‘You should not have come here’ Doom tells Wiccan, who spins around and unleashes magic energy of his own, which clashes with Doom’s. ‘You should not have kidnapped her!’ Billy exclaims, before Doom remarks that he knows this will disappoint him, as he informs Wiccan that Wanda is here of her own free will. ‘Wanda Maximoff is here because you’ve put some kind of spell on her!’ Billy shouts. ‘Wanda Maximoff is in the room and she can speak for herself!’ the Scarlet Witch declares as she shields her eyes from the clash of energies. Doom tells Wanda to get to safety, while Wiccan asks him to tell Wanda the truth, to tell her why he is here and who she really is.
‘Enough!’ Doom shouts, increasing his attack on Wiccan, who moans as he is pushed backwards. ‘Victor, stop this! I beg of you -’ Wanda begins, but Doom tells Wanda that he is trying to protect her - that he is trying to protect them all. ‘Your name is Wanda Maximoff - you are the mutant sorceress known as the Scarlet Witch!’ Billy exclaims. ‘What?’ Wanda asks, confused. Doom tells Wanda that the boy is talking nonsense, but Wiccan continues, informing Wanda that she was married to a synthezoid called the Vision, and that they had two sons - twin boys - Thomas and William. ‘You thought your sons were dead -’ Wiccan begins, before Doom interrupts: ‘I am warning you, boy…’ he declares, while Wiccan continues: ‘But your sons are -’ he remarks, only to be blasted back by Doom who tells him that he is playing with fire.
Wiccan screams as Dooms’ energies strike him, before he falls to the floor, smouldering. ‘Victor! How could you -?’ Wanda asks as she crouches beside Billy. ‘He’ll live’ Doom mutters. ‘He’s a child. He had no intention of harming me’ Wanda exclaims, but Doom calls her his love and tells her that she is too trusting, even of him. Doom helps Wanda to rise from the ground and reminds her that tomorrow she marries the King of Latveria, a man with more enemies than allies - all of who will become her enemies. ‘So, please hear me when I tell you…it is not too late to reconsider’. Doom places a metal hand on Wanda’s cheek, and Wanda replies ‘If you have enemies, it is because they do not know you as I do. You saved me, Victor. You keep saving me. And after the wedding tomorrow…nothing and no one will ever come between us’.
The next morning - the sun rises over Latveria, and standing on a hillside nearby, the Master of Magnetism - Magneto - addresses his son, Pietro “Quicksilver” Maximoff, and Wiccan’s teammates in the Young Avengers: ‘Shall we review the plan?’ he asks. Hands on his hips, Pietro asks what the plan is, and declares that this is not a plan, that it is a stunt. ‘You’re going to create some kind of distraction while we try not to get caught and / or killed searching the corridors of castle Doom for Wanda and Wiccan’ Pietro declares. ‘Sounds like a plan to me’ fellow speedster Thomas “Speed” Shepherd exclaims. ‘That’s because you’re twelve’ Pietro tells his supposed nephew. ‘Fifteen’ Tommy corrects him. ‘Exactly my point’ Pietro adds.
Teddy “Hulkling” Altman interrupts, ‘Guys, can we please just go rescue my idiot boyfriend now?’ he asks. Kate “Hawkeye” Bishop announces that Hulkling is right - that if they are doing this, they have to do it now. Eli “Patriot” Bradley remarks that he guesses Magneto gets his invasion of Latveria, after all. Kate reminds him that this not an invasion, but a search and rescue mission. ‘You don’t have to tell me’ Eli mutters. ‘Apparently, I do’ Kate responds, adding that now all they need is a halfway decent distraction. Suddenly, everyone looks upwards: ‘Um…Kate…? I don’t think that’s going to be a problem’ Teddy announces, as up above they see Simon Williams a.k.a. the inactive Avenger called Wonder Man.
Simon flies into Latverian air space, where a large fleet of aircraft hovers to defend Doom’s castle. The longtime Avenger calls out ‘Avengers, this is Wonder Man. I have no idea whether you people are still using this comm frequency, but if you’re listening, I’mj in Latverian air space and -’, Simon is interrupted by Tony “Iron Man” Stark, who, along with Captain America a.k.a. Steve Rogers, Ms Marvel a.k.a. Carol Danvers, Peter Parker a.k.a. Spider-Man and Luke Cage, are in a Quinjet. ‘And you suddenly realized that the world needs the Avengers after all?’ he asks. Simon replies that he suddenly realized that if the Avengers are following him, and he is pretty sure they are, that they need to turn around before they provoke an international incident of intergalactic proportions.
‘Actually, Simon…’ Tony begins. ‘You’re already here, aren’t you?’ Simon ask. ‘Um…’ Tony begins from inside the Quinjet. ‘Busted’ Spider-Man exclaims. Wonder Man supposes that the Avengers have been tracking his ionic signature ever since he left Avengers Tower. ‘So busted’ Spider-Man adds. But Iron Man tells Simon that he will thank him for this in the end. ‘you don’t want to go up against Doom by yourself’ Iron Man tells his former teammate.
Back inside the castle, ‘My head…’ Wiccan utters as he rubs his forehead, lying on a sofa. Doom stands over him and tells him to be still, while casting some energies down upon Billy, who asks Doom what he is doing. ‘Healing you’ Doom explains. Wiccan sits up - and finds himself restored to health with no injuries from Dooms’ earlier attack, and his costume no longer torn. Doom tells Wiccan that he has no grudge against him. ‘You know who I am?’ Billy asks. ‘Of course’ Doom replies. ‘Doctor Doom knows who I am’ Billy whispers. Doom adds that he knows Wiccan wants what is best for Wanda. ‘So you must understand when I tell you that what’s best for her - what’s best for all of us - is that she remains unaware of her past’ Doom declares.
‘You mean what’s best for you’ Wiccan remarks. ‘Wiccan -’ Doom begins, while Billy hangs his head, then points out that Doom is about to marry a woman with the powers of God. ‘Her powers are gone’ Doom announces, adding that her mind seems to have repressed her memory and her magic to heal itself. ‘Then how did you even find her?’ Wiccan asks. Doom replies that he didn’t, that Wanda found him. Doom explains that Wanda came asking for his help - petitioning him on behalf of her people. ‘And in spite of my reluctance to aid a former enemy…I found it impossible to refuse her’ Doom announces.
‘And now I’m supposed to believe you’re in love with her?’ Wiccan asks. ‘Given my history, even I find it difficult to believe’ Doom announces. ‘That makes two of us’ Billy remarks, to which Doom declares that they have much in common. ‘My mother was a sorceress, just like yours. My powers emerged when I was a child, just like you. We have common enemies as well. I know what you did to the Sons of the Serpent. And I know what the Avengers will do to you, if they find you and Wanda’ Doom announces, before offering Wiccan his protection. He invites Wiccan to come to the wedding today, as a guest of he and his mothers, and then he can remain here, with them, free and safe for as long as he wishes.
‘And if I refuse?’ Billy asks. ‘The choice is yours, Wiccan. You can be my guest…or my prisoner. But know this…the spell I cast to heal you…also relieved you of your powers!’ Doom declares. ‘WHAT?’ Wiccan gasps, wide-eyed, when suddenly, there is a mighty KRRAAAASH heard.
Outside, ‘This is how you create a diversion? There are innocent people on board those ships!’ Patriot exclaims as Magneto casts his power at Doom’s fleet. ‘If they are allies of Doom’s, I assure you, they are far from innocent!’ Magneto replies, while Hawkeye tells Patriot that Magneto is doing this for them, and it is time to go. Eli asks Kate how she is okay with this, and points out that this is terrorism, that people could die. ‘And if we let that happen, then we become terrorists, just like Magneto’.
Magneto continues to hover over the Young Avengers as he exclaims ‘Patriot, do you have any idea how much energy is required to keep these ships from falling and crushing the life out of you when you speak of me with such disrespect. So, if I were you, I’d get going…and proceed with the plan’. ‘What plan?’ Eli mutters. ‘I heard that’ Magneto declares. Kate asks Eli if he trusts her, to which Eli replies ‘Of course, but -’, to which Kate interrupts, telling him to shut up and go and rescue their friend.
An instant later, Quicksilver and Speed lead the way towards the castle, while Hulkling flies behind them, carrying Hawkeye and Patriot, while the Vision flies overhead, carrying a shrunken Cassie “Stature” Lang on his shoulder. Pietro informs the Young Avengers that Doom’s fortress can be accessed through a series of underground passageways that lead in and out of Latveria, the doors to which can only be accessed from the inside. Quicksilver announces that Hawkeye and Hulkling will go with Speed, while Patriot and Stature go with him. The heroes come to a stop as Quicksilver explains that he and Speed will vibrate through the doors to let everyone in, while the Vision phases in on his own and works around Doom’s security system. ‘Are we clear?’ Pietro asks.
‘Are we even listening, children?’ Pietro exclaims as he sees all the Young Avengers staring past him. ‘Well? What are you all gawking at? What has my father done…?…Now?’ Pietro spins around, ‘Looks like you were right, Uncle Pete…we need a better plan’ Speed exclaims as the very unimpressed Avengers and Wonder Man stand over the Young Avengers.
Inside Doom’s castle, Wiccan sits cross-legged on a sofa, and utters ‘I want my powers back, I want my powers back, I want my powers back…’ he opens his eyes when he hears a lock turning - and the door opens, revealing the Scarlet Witch, standing in her wedding dress. ‘Whoa…’ Billy utters. ‘You like it?’ Wanda asks. ‘It’s…perfect’ Wiccan exclaims. ‘It is, isn’t it?’ Wanda remarks, before informing Wiccan that this has all been perfect - meeting Victor, falling in love - the King proposing to the gypsy girl. ‘It’s all been too perfect’ Wanda adds. ‘Until you showed up, and Victor suddenly became someone I didn’t recognize’ Wanda announces.
Wanda tells Wiccan that before she walks down the aisle with Victor, she needs Billy to tell her everything. ‘Please…tell me about this Scarlet Witch’ Wanda begs. ‘On one condition…you have to get me out of here’ Wiccan replies.
Soon, Wiccan holds a lantern as he walks down a flight of stairs in a darkened tunnel, with Wanda following him. Wiccan informs her that the Scarlet Witch was one of the most powerful members of a team of heroes called the Avengers.
Show with flashback illustrations, narrated by Wiccan:Wiccan explains that the Scarlet Witch fell in love with - and married - another Avenger, the Vision, with whom she had twin boys - Thomas and William, and that from what he heard, they were a happy family, until that is the twins’s souls were captured by a villain named Master Pandemonium, for his master, the demon Mephisto. Wiccan continues, revealing that the Scarlet Witch blamed the Avengers for the loss of her kids and killed three of her teammates and destroyed the team - or so it seems.
But then a young hero called Iron Lad began recruiting a new generation of Avengers - a group of kids with deeply personal connections to the Avengers, even if those connections were not immediately apparent. Wiccan explains that it was not until he met a speedster named Thomas, who just happened to look like his identical twin, that he realized -.
Present:Wiccan’s stops himself mid-sentence, ‘Oh no…’ he gasps as he and Wanda open a panel to the outside. ‘What? What did you realize?’ Wanda asks, before she steps outside and sees the Avengers, Young Avengers, Magneto and Quicksilver engaged in a full-on battle with Doom and his Doombots - and Magneto and Doom at the center of it all. ‘Oh dear God…’ Wanda gasps. ‘What have I done?’ Wiccan exclaims. ‘Everything we told you not to, kid’ a voice remarks, as Wolverine a.k.a. Logan lunges forward, grabbing Wanda.
‘You teamed up with Magneto…you started a war with Doom…and I’ll be damned if I know how…but you actually found the Scarlet Witch…which makes my job so much easier!’ Wolverine exclaims, claws ready to skewer the surprised Wanda. ‘Wolverine, stop! What are you doing?’ Wiccan calls out. ‘What does it look like, kid? I’m saving the world’ Logan replies. ‘As usual’. With Wanda pushed to the ground, Wolverine holds a fist at her neck, ready to pop his claws. ‘Why are you doing this?’ Wanda asks him.
Wolverine tells Wanda that it is not personal, and that if the situations were reversed, if he was as big a threat as she, he would expect her to do the same thing to him. ‘She’s not a threat!’ Wiccan exclaims, lunging at Wolverine, he pushes Logan off Wanda, and quickly informs him that she has no powers and no memory, that she is Wanda Maximoff, but she is not the Scarlet Witch anymore. ‘She’s not a threat to anyone!’ he exclaims. Logan grits his teeth as he thanks Wiccan for letting him know. ‘Without her powers, she’s gonna be much easier to kill’ Logan declares.
‘What is wrong with you? You’re supposed to be one of the good guys!’ Wiccan exclaims. ‘So was she’ Wolverine points out, reminding Wiccan that the Scarlet Witch slaughtered her friends and wiped out an entire species with three little words. “No more mutants”, Wolverine quotes. ‘Right, Wanda? Well, you got your wish, sweetheart. Thanks to you, there’s only a few of us left. And now thanks to me…there’s about to be one less’ Logan declares. The Scarlet Witch listens, almost confused, before Logan brings a clawed hand back, ready to take down the Scarlet Witch, when suddenly, ‘Not if I can help it’ a voice announces, and Logan is blasted away from Wanda.
‘You all right?’ a gleaming red and silver armoured being asks, hovering over Wiccan, Wanda and the motionless Wolverine. ‘IRON LAD!’ Wiccan exclaims. ‘I’m back, Billy. And I’m here to protect you. The future depends on it’ Iron Lad announces cryptically….
