'Stand by. Don't do anything stupid….yet.'

"So Tony, where is Scott and Vision" Suddenly asked Wanda as she was sitting with Hill, while Tony was spacing out.

Tony didn't answer and just continued to stare into nothingness when Maria sighed and said

"They are on the run. They both escaped….Scott by turning into an ant and Vision..Well he can pass through walls so it's understandable that he escaped."

Wanda looked down and nodded as she stole a glance at Tony, who visibly flinched at Maria's answer.

Hill then started to fill Wanda in about the things that went down when she was in Raft prison. About how Fury's car exploded and how Tony brought a full stop to an Arms dealer and all his associates in a mere two days and became the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Wanda was extremely impressed by Tony and started to see him in a completely different light.

"Maria, You go and get yourself familiar with the Chitauri weapons, you also need to oversee their trainings with the weapon. I will contact you later about Fury." Said Tony as the jet landed in the S.H.I.E.L.D facility.

Looking at that Tony needed to take Wanda somewhere, she got off the jet while Wanda started thinking about what was on Tony's mind.

As Maria got off the jet, It immediately lifted up and then flew with extreme speed towards the Stark Tower.

The jet safely landed on the tower and Tony started to walk without saying anything. Wanda quickly got off too and started to follow behind him. They went through a hallway and then went inside a lab. Wanda was looking all around the lab as it was her first time when she arrived in Tony's lab.

As she was looking around, She noticed a yellow glow coming from the end of the lab. She looked towards Tony in a questioning gaze but Tony just kept staring at the glow which gave Wanda a feeling that Tony wanted to show this to her.

She slowly started walking towards the glow and when she reached there, She saw a Man's body on a surgical table while a yellow light was coming from the top of the table.

Suddenly her mind was in a turmoil again and her powers started to go out of control when a sweet sensation went through her wrist and calmed her mind by making her brain release dopamine. She also felt Tony wrap his arms around her which made her stiff.

"Calm down Wanda. This is quite important"

Wanda stayed like that for a few seconds before calming her emotions and asking

"Tony? Who is he? And why is my magic reacting to him?"

Tony didn't release Wanda from his arms and after much deliberation, he started explaining

"His real name is 'Max Eisenhardt'...Alias 'Magneto'. A world famous Mutant Terrorist. He has blood of not thousands, not a hundred thousands, not a million but several million people on his hands. Many years ago, he met a woman who was considered as a myth by many and a goddess by the rest. They fell in love soon after their meeting and she became pregnant with his child. Around the time of her pregnancy, she came to know about his evil nature and ran to her father who was even more of a myth.

At the time she was giving birth, it was found that she had twins. A girl and a boy.

But their happiness was short lived when suddenly some people who called themselves 'High Evolutionary' came and stole her kids. She, along with her father fought and retrieved the kids."

This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.

Wanda was holding herself back from breaking down while listening to Tony and he tightened his arms around her to support her.

"What happened to them? What was their name?....Tony? Tell me" Said Wanda while Choking on her own tears.

"I don't know the name of the woman's father but some evidence showed that he was regarded as a Scarlet Warlock. The woman was named as Natalya Maximoff but was known as Scarlet Witch. I don't know what happened to them, just this that her kids were given to her sister who was then killed in a bomb blast and the 'High Evolutionaries' finally found the kids so they could use them for their cause….

Wanda, You didn't got your abilities from the mind stone like you believe. Your powers are divine...A gift of your bloodline...the proof of you being the new Scarlet Witch."

Tony's words completely broke her down and as her powers were starting to go on a rampage again, the bracelet in her hand sent some waves in her head which made her sleep.

'I really don't like this...this is too bothersome. Once I get the complete control over Mind Stone, I can easily manipulate people. But now...If I were to be hasty and force her into anything, her Chaos Magic of Reality Warping could go out of control which can even fuck me. Shit! This is slowing down my other researches…..*sigh*..let's just...arghh…'

Tony was irritated while Wanda was asleep. He couldn't take any risk with her and although he was extremely patient, he just didn't like the idea of being in a close proximity with a Mentally unstable mutant who could change the reality of entire earth.

Although Tony was doubtful about her having the same powers as her comic counterpart but he didn't wanted to take any risks right now either.

Wanda slept for an hour when suddenly she was woken up by a nightmare. Tony immediately hugged her and started patting her back in order to calm her down, which evidently worked as she calmed down and separated herself from Tony.

"Are you okay?" Asked Tony with worry on his face and caution on his mind

Wanda nodded weakly before saying

"How do you know so much…? Since when have you known all this?....And...Why is he lying in your lab instead of prison?"

Tony looked her in the eye after listening to her question and then said

"After you revealed to us about your parent's death. I wanted to know more about you so that I can help you better and try to repent for what I did….I researched about you but all the search turned up empty when I tried searching about your foster mother. It was like she popped out of thin air. I tracked her and linked her to the Witches….I found many ancient scriptures about Witches and just two days before the incident at the Airport, I finally confirmed The identity of your parents.

I am cursed with knowledge, Wanda...I know what I want to know and even know what I try to forget. That guy Magneto might be your biological father but he is just the harvester of innocent lives for the sake of his hollow beliefs. He thinks every normal human should die and only Mutants should exist as they are the new evolution of mankind. He actually tried to kill me too."

Wanda was astonished to know about this. Kill all the humans? Tried to kill Tony too?

Tony started to poison her mind with his persuasive tone..about how Magneto didn't even have the right to exist in the world and when he was sure that she believed him, He hit the Iron while it was hot and gave her the Scriptures and stories about her Mother and the Scarlet family which wasn't that hard to find when he had Jarvis everywhere in the world and Magneto's memories.

He also gave her the parchment about their family's spells and phrases which she immediately familiarized herself with.

After she had read all that Tony provided her about her family, she was sure about her lineage and extremely grateful towards Tony.

Tony was sitting on a sofa when Wanda exited the library of the Stark Tower and found Tony staring at nothingness with that same guilt, sadness, and loneliness in his eyes that she saw in his eyes many times after the airport incident. She didn't know why but her heart ached when she saw Tony in this condition and she just couldn't help herself from approaching him and hugging him tightly.

Tony was startled for a second before asking

"What happened Wanda? Did anything happen? Don't worry, I'm here, right?"

Tony tried to console her which made her even more worried about him as he was neglecting himself and only caring about her well being.

"Tony...Please share your pain...share it with me or its gonna eat you alive one day."

Tony's hold on Wanda went lose as he heard her words while Wanda's hold tightened. He quickly opened his mouth to say something but couldn't after he heard her next few words.

"And don't try to hide your pain in your sarcasm….It's only gonna become worse the longer you keep it bottled up."

'This plan of Pity and Emotional-Manipulation always works' Thought Tony as a lone tear fell from his left eye and he buried his head in her arms.
