Outburst

Back in the MCU earth.

After forming a preliminary bond with Natasha, Alex realized that his timing was impeccable. He'd infiltrated the Avengers at the perfect time since they were leaving on the same night of the day that he'd bonded with Natasha.

The team would be consisting of Captain America, Falcon, Wanda, and Black Widow.

That night, they boarded the Quinjet and left for Lagos.

"So Stark didn't come because…" Natasha trailed off as she was talking to Captain America.

"He's busy with something… Probably some sort of precaution against those 39 other versions of Earth…" He told her.

"Why are we sure that they're Earths?" She asked him.

"They've researched and probed some stuff… Those planets are identical to Earth with signs of a very similar development of life and civilization… For all intents and purposes, those are copies of our Earth." He had a solemn tone.

"So he's working on what? Some kind of planetary shield?" Natasha asked Steve.

"Not sure, but knowing him, it's probably a spear. The alignment of the cluster doesn't point to us being at the center. We're at the outskirts of the main cluster, with all the planets orbiting around two central worlds." He described the structure of the cluster.

"I'm surprised and apprehensive that the different gravitational pulls haven't completely ruined all of the planets already…"

"That all points to an external force maintaining the balance… I don't even know what kind of power would be able to do something of such a scale…" Steve said with dread in his tone.

"Yeah, like we didn't already have enough on our plate. With invading aliens, hammer gods, killer A.I. robots, and Hydra bullshit, this is what we were missing… Some cosmic overlord playing experiment with our world…" There was a sarcastic quip from the driver's seat.

"You're not wrong Sam…" Steve agreed with Falcon.

"But we have to keep going…" Natasha said something that she thought Steve would be saying.

Steve was indeed about to say that and looked over at her. Natasha had a cheeky smile on her face.

"I know you better than you realize, Steve." She told him as she sat back in her seat, briefly glancing at the quiet Wanda for a few seconds.

Wanda hadn't spoken ever since they'd boarded the Quinjet. Seemingly deep in thought.

At this time, Alex had been waiting for the right time to work his magic and bond with Wanda. He was waiting for everyone to get comfortable since it was going to be a while before they reached Lagos.

Soon, he got his chance. Natasha was resting with her eyes closed, Steve was going through the mission briefing, and Sam using his phone as he sat in the pilot's seat. The plane was on auto-pilot.

Lastly, Wanda ended up drifting to sleep.

'Now's my chance.' An invisible tendril extended from Natasha and slowly made its way to Wanda.

Within seconds, Alex's tendril reached Wanda and separated from Natasha. At the next moment, he completely merged into Wanda's clothes.

Then he tried to bond with her. That was when things changed, Wanda's ‹Chaos Magic› started going haywire.

Just as Alex formed his bond with her and took root inside her body, there was a red flash that created a wave of telekinetic force. It broke the seat that Wanda was sitting on, and threw Steve off of his seat while cracking the tablet that he was using to read the mission brief.

Natasha was sitting on the seat behind Wanda so the broken backrest of Wanda's seat was launched into Natasha's face who barely blocked the huge projectile with her arm.

Sam, who was sitting in the pilot's seat got his head banged at the side.

"Huh?" Wanda who had been asleep was startled awake when she felt her powers go haywire.

Although she quickly got herself back together, the damage was already done.

No one was too hurt but Natasha's arm was bleeding after she'd blocked the projectile while Sam had gotten a concussion. Steve was perfectly fine, though. He'd been enhanced by the Super Soldier Serum and wasn't as easily hurt as Sam and Natasha who, even though extremely well trained, were still in the realm of humans.

Natasha quickly jumped up from her seat and jumped behind it, using the backrest of the seat as cover while taking a defensive position. She used that moment to wrap up her bleeding arm which she'd used to block the projectile.

"Wanda? What's going on?" Steve called out while also taking a defensive posture behind his shield.

Sam was concussed so he wasn't able to respond as quickly.

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" Wanda had a worried and guilty frown as she repeatedly apologized to them with panic evident in her voice.

Natasha and Steve made brief eye contact as they realized that Wanda's loss of control was involuntary.

"Are you all right now, Wanda? Natasha asked from behind her cover.

"Yes, yes… I'm so sorry. I don't know what happened. I was asleep and suddenly, my powers started going haywire…" She was trying to explain with panic in her tone.

"It's fine Wanda. Accidents happen…" Steve understood the situation and didn't blame Wanda for this. Her powers would get unstable every once in a while when she had her emotions heightened so he wasn't exactly surprised by this. It was unexpected but not too big of a deal.

The situation wasn't bad as the Jet wasn't damaged and no one was hurt too badly. So they continued on their mission after having a talk with Wanda.

'Damn… I didn't expect this.' Alex was sweating inside. He'd realized that the chaos magic that Wanda had was very sensitive to foreign entities and it had detected him.

The telekinetic burst was a defensive reaction by her chaos magic against the invading entity. Alex was basically a foreign entity that was intruding into her body and ended up activating the defense mechanism.

If he'd tried to bond with Wanda after she'd had some practice and initial mastery over her chaos magic then things would've been much more difficult. He probably would've been detected by her easily, long before he had a chance to touch her.

'Thank fuck I didn't delay this. She's very new to her powers and thinks that it's nothing but basic telekinesis and mind control… But Chaos magic is just so much more…' He knew of the true potential of Wanda's powers.

The Scarlet Witch is one of the most overpowered beings in the Marvel Multiverse. At one point, she wiped out every single mutant from the face of the entire multiverse with three words.

All it took for her was to say, 'No more Mutants' and she warped reality to make it that Mutants didn't even exist. Not just in Earth-616, but every single version of earth.

The Scarlet Witch completely warped reality within the entire multiverse with three words. And then she even fixed it. Changing reality throughout the multiverse again.

'House of M was fucking bonkers…' Alex thought as he recalled how overpowered Wanda is in the comics.

Granted, this was a very specific scenario with quite a few conditions having been met.

But it told of the huge potential that Wanda actually had.

Next up he checked her status.

{ «Status- Host #4»

«Name: Wanda Maximoff (Scarlet Witch)»

«Bonding Rate: 0%»

«Powers: Low Human Physique— Chaos Magic (Dormant)»

}

'Yeah, that makes sense… All she's ever done us to use telekinesis and basic mind magic. It's not even a single percentage point of what Chaos Magic can do…'

Wanda had her hands wrapped around her legs and her head buried in her knees as she brooded and felt guilty about what had just happened.

"Hey…" Natasha came to her and sat beside her.

Wanda didn't reply.

"It's all right, Wanda. It wasn't your fault. All right?" She tried to comfort her.

"I'm just a liability…" Wanda's state of mind was a little unstable.

"Of course, not. You're very strong. You're coming with us for two reasons. The first is to get experience and the second is that you are our heavy hitter. Me, Steve, and even Sam. We can take care of almost any normal situation we want. But if we end up running into an unbreakable wall. We'll need you, okay? You're very important and far from being a liability."

Nat felt like she was babysitting Wanda.

"You don't have to comfort me, Nat… I understand that I need to gain better control over my powers." Wanda's tone was helpless but also had conviction.

Nat didn't say anything and put a hand on her shoulder as a show of her support before leaving her.
