BILLY PLAYED WITH SPARKY in the living room while the rest of the family watched.

"Sit, Sparky, sit." He gave him a treat after obeying, "Good dog. Now speak."

Sparky barked, and it brought a smile to his face. "Nice, Sparky. Now spin."

Sparky did as he was told, and Y/N was impressed. Wanda, Tommy, and Vivian applauded.

"Oh! Bravo, Billy!" Wanda exclaimed.

"You weren't so bad either, Sparky." Y/N made sure to give the dog his props.

"That was radical." Tommy chimed in.

"Where's uncle Vis? We gotta show him!" Vivian stood up from the couch as was prepared to run with her brothers to find him.

"Oh, he's...he's at work." Wanda told them.

"He's taking some of my work load today. Yours truly had the day off." Y/N added.

"But...it's Saturday." Billy replied.

"No, it's not. It's Monday." Wanda responded.

"This morning was Saturday." Vivian told her mom.

Y/N rose a brow, looking at his wife upon realizing that it was indeed a different day just hours earlier.

"There was an emergency at the office and Vision had to go in." Wanda rebutted.

"Then why did dad stay home?" Tommy asked.

"You know your uncle. He's the go-to technology guy. Your father on the other hand..."

"Hey..." Y/N remarked.

"...is more old school."

"I'm older than him but that doesn't mean I'm old old."

"How old are you, dad?" Tommy asked.

"Well, I'm..." Y/N thought about it, but couldn't say a number. At first, it seemed like an easy question to answer, but the more he tried to recall, the less he remembered.

"I...I don't know." He looked at Wanda, who seemed just as confused as him. Suddenly, Sparky barked and leaped out of Billy's arms. The dog ran to the door.

"Something's scaring him, mom." Vivian said.

Sparky continued to growl as Wanda stared into blank space while in her thoughts. She had a feeling of what it could be.

"Stay here." She told them.

"Wanda?" Y/N asked as she stood up from the couch and walked out the door. The kids and dog followed, in which Y/N decided to do so as well.

Up in the sky was a drone. It wasn't anything like Y/N's ever seen. He stood beside his children.

"Wanda, this is Captain Monica Rambeau. Can you hear me?" A voice came from the drone. "I just want to talk. That's it."

"Wanda?" Y/N held Tommy by his side, "What is that?"

Wanda didn't respond, and titled her head at the sight of the drone. Her eyes glowed red.

Suddenly, the drone activated a small blaster from its side. It charged, and Y/N's eyes widened. He was about to act, but Wanda did it for him. She quickly raised her hand and shot it down with a psionic blast.

The wreckage of the drone laid on the pavement as it smoked. Wanda walked up to it.

"Wanda? What the hell was that?" Y/N kept asking. She simply picked up the downed drone and looked at her family.

"Stay here. I'll be back."

She walked away, leaving Y/N with the kids. Y/N simply looked on as his wife walked away.

What was going on?

S.W.O.R.D AGENTS FORMED A LINE in front of the Westview barrier with their guns raised. Director Hayward stood in front of them, looking on at what was about to come out. Monica was behind him while Darcy and Jimmy stayed behind the line. They knew what Hayward had unleashed.

The barrier glitched from its blue hue to a red one, and Wanda walked out of it carrying the destroyed drone. She wore he classic red jacket, corset, and black plants, walking closer to the line of agents.

"This yours?" Wanda shouted and tossed the crackling drone at them. It fizzed near Hayward's feet and the agents kept aiming their guns at her.

"The missile was just a precaution." Hayward explained, "You can hardly blame us, Wanda."

"Oh, I think I can." She replied in her Sokovian accent, "This will be your only warning. Stay out of my home. You don't bother me. I won't bother you."

"I wish it can be that simple. You've taken an entire town hostage."

"Well, I'm not the one with the guns, Director."

"But you are the one in control." Monica began to speak, and Wanda noticed her. She started to channel red energy in her palm.

"You're still here."

"Wanda, I didn't know the drones were armed. But you know that, don't you? A town full of civilians. And you, a telepath, brought a S.W.O.R.D Agent into your home." Monica said, "You trusted me to help deliver your babies. On some level, Wanda, you know I am an ally. I want to help you."

"How? What could you possibly have to offer me?" Wanda asked her.

"What do you want?"

"I have what I want...and no one will ever take it from me again."

With the hand she channeled energy in, she flicked her wrist and mind controlled the agents to aim their guns at Hayward.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!" He exclaimed and raised his arms, "Stand down!"

Wanda walked away, going back towards the barrier enveloping Westview.

"Wanda!" Monica called out again.

The witch placed her hands on the barrier, turning the blue hue of the Hex into a permanent crimson. She then fully walked through, leaving everybody at S.W.O.R.D where they stood.

Y/N WALKED DOWN THE STREET with Billy, Vivian, and Tommy as they looked for Sparky. He went missing during the whole situation earlier.

"Sparky! Come on, boy!" Tommy called out.

"Sparky! Sparky!" Billy and Vivian shouted as well.

Y/N walked behind and looked for any sign of their pet. He didn't see it, but the sight of Wanda caught his eye.

"Wanda!" He waved at her.

Back in her late 80's attire, she walked up to her family. "What's the matter?"

"Sparky seemed to have run away." He answered.

"Oh, goodness."

"I don't know where he could've gone."

Billy tugged at his mother's arm, "We need to find him, mom."

"Here, boy!" Tommy continued to call out.

They all walked down the street looking for Sparky. Upon hearing rustling near a set of bushes, they stopped in front of a house.

"Sparky?" Billy asked.

Agnes came out from behind the bushes, looking distraught as she let out a sigh. She held the body of a familiar looking animal in her arms. "I..."

Vivian gasped along with her brothers. Y/N rubbed his face and looked down. It was Sparky.

"I didn't wanna come until I'd wrapped him up." Agnes said.

"What happened to him?" Wanda asked.

"I found him in my azalea bushes. Don't know how many leaves he ate. I didn't find him until it was too late." Agnes looked at the three kids, saddened like they were, "I'm so sorry.

They started to sniffle, looking at each other and thinking of what to do. Wanda knew what they were thinking.

"Wait. Don't. Don't."

"Don't what?" Tommy raised his voice.

"Tommy..." Y/N didn't like his son's tone.

"Don't age yourselves up. The urge to run from this feeling is powerful. I know."

"It's too sad." Vivian sniffled.

"You can fix anything, mom. Fix the dead." Billy added.

Wanda gave a confused look. Y/N did the same, and looked at his wife.

"No." She replied.

"You can do that?" Agnes asked.

Wanda didn't know how to respond. She looked back at Y/N, who was still not understanding what his son meant. She faced her kids once more.

"I am trying to tell you that there are rules in life, okay?" She knelt down to their level, "We can't rush aging just because it's convenient. And we can't reverse death. No matter how sad it makes us. Okay? Some things are forever."

"You once said family is forever. Sparky is family." Tommy said, "Bring him back, mom."

"Bring who back?" Vision asked as he walked up to the group holding his briefcase.

Y/N walked up to Vision as he fixated his eyes at what Agnes was holding, "The kids found a dog. It..."

Vision didn't need him to finish his statement to understand. He looked at the kids with a solemn expression, "Oh. Come here."

He hugged his niece and nephews. All though he couldn't remember a time he's felt loss like this before, he wanted to comfort them as best as he can.

IT WAS NIGHTIME. Y/N was organizing the living room while Wanda was in the kitchen. Vision walked down the stairs, and his brother noticed.

"They in bed?" Y/N asked referring to the kids.

"Just now they are." He answered, "I wish sweet dreams for each of them."

"After today, I'd hope so too." Y/N replied as he placed the records onto the shelf.

"Um, brother?" He asked walking closer to him.

"Vis?"

"I have talk to you about what happened at work today."

"Mr. Hart fire you or something?"

"No. It's about Norm." He began to lower his voice, "He is being mind-controlled."

Y/N put a pause to his task and turned around, "What?"

"We were reading an email. It talked out the Maximoff Anomaly and Westview. Norm thought nothing of it until I unearthed his suppressed personality." Vision explained.

Y/N rose brow upon hearing his wife's last name in his story. He continued to listen.

"Norm was panicking. He didn't know where he was. He wanted to see his sister and father. He said someone was in his head."

Y/N had seen enough weird things go on recently, so hearing about Norm's situation didn't come as a shock.

"And who could he be referring to?" He asked.

Vision paused for a moment, looking towards the door of the kitchen. Y/N knew what he was thinking.

"Are you serious?"

"It's the only thing that makes sense, Y/N. She's the only one capable to do so." Vision replied.

"It's just..." Y/N tried to think of an excuse for his wife, but upon remembering the weird instances and even the drone incident earlier today, he was more convinced. He let out a sigh.

"I don't know what's going on." Vision said.

"Me neither, Vis."

"You have to talk to her. Find out what exactly."

Y/N nodded as he rested his hands on his waist, "You don't want to give it a go?"

Vision chuckled and shook his head, "She isn't my wife." He started walking back up the stairs, "I'll make myself scarce."

Y/N let out a sigh before walking into the kitchen. He saw Wanda placing the kids' toys in a basket. Y/N went over to the sink and washed his hands.

"The kids are asleep. I think they'll be all right."

"You think so?" She asked.

"Well, it's not often you get a dog and bury them the same day."

"Well, life moves pretty fast out in the suburbs." Wanda replied as she put the basket down.

Y/N decided to speak up, "Norm talked to Vision today."

"Oh?"

"He unearthed the man's personality and spoke to him free of your oversight." Y/N said, "That's how he put it."

Wanda simply looked at him as he continued.

"He made it seem like he was in pain, Wanda."

"Y/N..." Wanda chuckled lightly, "Listen, can we just—"

"What? Watch TV?" Y/N knew that his wife was trying to deny the situation, "Turn in for the night so that you can change everything over again? No, Wanda." He leaned against the counter, "You can't control me the way you do them."

She titled her head, "Can't I?" She walked away, and Y/N dropped his head.

"I'm going to bed." She said as she walked towards the kitchen door.

"No! We're not done here." Y/N exclaimed, "What is the Maximoff Anomaly?"

"The what?"

"I have to believe that this, whatever this is, was subconscious at first..." Y/N walked closer to Wanda, "...and that you only recently became aware of it."

"Aware of what?" Wanda glared and walked into the living room.

"Norm has a family, Wanda!" Y/N shouted and followed her, "He has a family and he can't reach them because you won't let him!

Wanda turned back around, "I don't know what you're talking about!"

"Stop lying to me!" Y/N's hands emitted a light orange glow as he began to levitate in the air. Wanda did the same and floated to level herself with him.

"This, all of this is for us. So let me handle it." She said.

"What is outside of Westview?" He asked.

"You don't want to know."

"You don't get to make that choice for me, Wanda! You don't get to make that choice for Vision!"

"You've never talked to me like this before." Wanda replied as she began to descend.

"Before what?" Y/N's voice raised as he thought about how he couldn't recall anything from before, "Before what? I can't remember anything before Westview. I don't know who I am!"

Wanda looked up at him, starting to speak softly, "You are my husband. Vision...he is a brother to us."

Y/N descended as she continued.

"You are the father of Tommy, Billy, and Vivian. Isn't that enough?"

Y/N held her hands as he thought. He looked out the window.

"Wanda? Why isn't there any children in Westview?"

"Oh, God!" Wanda scoffed and went over to sit on the sofa, "There are! Just stop it!"

"No. No. The playground stands empty every morning I walk to work. Why? Tell me why?"

"Do you really think I am controlling everything? That I am somehow in charge of everybody in Westview?" She chuckled dryly as she held her head, "I don't know how any of this started in the first place."

Y/N crouched down near her, "Wanda, what you're doing here, it's wrong. It is wrong."

The door bell suddenly rung and it got both of their attention. Y/N looked down in disappointment.

"I didn't do that." Wanda told him, but noticed his expression when he looked back at her, "You don't believe me."

"Wanda, I want to, but at this point, and don't know what is what." He replied.

Wanda sniffled as she got up to answer the door. She opened it, and her expression changed. Y/N walked up behind her and looked at the person who arrived.

"Wanda, who is this?"

The Caucasian man wore a leather jacket and a purple-blue button up shirt. The feature that stood out was his white-silver hair.

The man noticed the confused expression on Wanda's face, "Long lost bro get to squeeze his stinkin' sister to death or what?"

Wanda looked back at Y/N, who was still waiting for an answer on who the man could be. She faced their guest again and hugged him.

"Pietro?"
