Ch. 123

As soon as the chaotic aura was gone, Wanda floated back down on the ground before falling to her knees and teared up.

Only now did she realized what she did was wrong.

What will her children think of her because of this? If someday she were to meet them again, would she be able to tell them everything about what she did.

To be honest, Wanda has already moved on, on Vision, but she still cared about her kids which is why she decides to go on this path.

It doesn't matter if Vision stayed dead but she atleast would like to have a happy life with children.

This is the reason why she used the Darkhold despite knowing the consequences. She just can't resist the fact that there's a chance out there where she could be with her children.

But now she was lost, she doesn't know what to do. She has already surrendered to her 'enemy' and he promised her that she would gain her happiness back.

"Are you okay?" Xyrus went beside her and asked.

"I'm fine." She wiped the tears from her cheeks before facing Xyrus.

"Will you really help me?" Wanda asked one more time, just wanting to confirm it. She doesn't want her hope to rise only for Xyrus to to deny it and say that he only said that to calm her down.

"I'm a man of my word." Xyrus assured her.

"Come with me." A familiar portal opened behind him and he extended his hand for her.

Wanda sniffed for the last time before grabbing it and she was pulled inside the portal along with Xyrus.

The moment she got out, she was met with a familiar home.

It was the home of the little Wanda that she possessed.

"What are we doing here?" She confusingly asked Xyrus beside her.

Xyrus kept silent and gestured her to look at her front, and when she did, she saw her little self, along with her mother and her little brother, Pietro.

"Woah. You really do look like my sister." Pietro was amazed and without hesitation, he got close to Wanda and inspected her.

He then barraged her with questions.

"Is that your crown? Are you a Queen in another universe?"

"Why are you wearing a skirt?"

"Why is your fingers black?"

Although she tried to answer all of his questions, but when the last question came, she abruptly stopped and hid her fingers behind her.

"...It's nothing. Just a fashion." She tried to give the best answer she could.

Luckily, her little brother didn't meddle with it anymore and continued asking her more unnecessary questions.

"Pietro, give her some rest." Fortunately, she was saved by her own mother who pulled Pietro back and finally got a good look on her face.

"You really are my daughter. You got your father's eyes." Iryna, her mother stared at her as if she was reminiscing something.

Hearing what her mother said, she remembered about what happened that day, the day she lost her parents.

"You're in so much pain." Iryna could easily see through her like an open book. Of course she could, only a mother knows her child the best.

"Although I don't know what happened, but you are alright now, because mommy's here." She wamly said before planting a kiss on her cheek and hugged her.

Wanda can't help but cry again, but this time, she has someone to lean to.

"Shhh, don't worry baby. Mommy's here." Iryna comforted her before casting a grateful look at Xyrus who accepted it.

"Come inside. Mommy just baked some cookies now." Iryna smiled and said to her.

Seeing that Wanda agreed, she was about to invite Xyrus inside when she saw him gesturing her to ignore him.

She reluctantly nodded before going inside the house, followed by an excited Pietro and Wanda who gave Xyrus a wave before going inside.

"Mission accomplished." Xyrus smiled triumphantly.

[I hate to break it to your, Sensei. But you haven't finished your mission yet.]

"What? But I already gave her happiness, right?" Xyrus confusedly asked.

[You're right, but there is another way to make her happy, and this is the mission that you need to complete.]

[And also, you might have forgotten, that you have to help America reunite with her family.]

"Oh, yeah. There's also that." Xyrus scratched the back of his head and chuckled.

"But, the problem is I can't just travel around the multiverse without caring about the consequences. So if I'm going to find them, I need to be sure that her parents are in that universe." Xyrus then observed his current situation before sighing and going to the shop, maybe he could find something to help him there.

"Let's see here...." Xyrus kept on scrolling on the shop page before finally seeing the item that he wanted.

[Jack Sparrow's Compass [Multiverse Edition]] [1000 SP]

[This compass point you to the direction where you desire the most.]

Seeing the price, Xyrus sighed in regret, after all, he only has 1,200 SP and by buying this, he'll only have 200 SP on his pocket.

"Well, considering that the price of finishing this mission is worth it, then let's buy it." Xyrus then pressed the buy button and an old looking compass suddenly appeared on his hand.

"Is this it? It looks like an ordinary compass, I can't believe that this ordinary looking compass holds a power that could make countries and even universes go into war just to acquire it.

But now, this thing is on his hands.

"Maybe I could use this to search for the souls of the Chosen Ones." Suddenly, his eyes lit up in excitement and was about to use it to search for the souls when Alfred's voice sounded.

[Sorry to disappoint you sir, but this compass isn't capable of searching for a soul that is beyond it's understanding.]

Hearing this, Xyrus was disappointed but not that much, after all, taking the easy way isn't the best way.

"Alright then, let's just use this to search for her parents. But how am I suppose to do that?"

Looking at the compass, Xyrus saw that besides from the a mirror attached on the below of the lid, there's nothing much here that could point to a certain universe.

[Don't worry sir, in order for you to use this is to first enter a Channel of the Multiverse, and that's where the compass will point you to the specific universe.]

After hearing Alfred's explanation, Xyrus nodded and opened the same bluish portal.

He's planning on giving this compass to America so she could desire to know where her parents are, and he'll just help her get there.

"Another adventure." Xyrus muttered before jumping on the portal.
