"Goodbye."

The sky went back to normal as Wanda lowered Agatha to the ground setting her down carefully but Agatha collapsed because of how drained she was.

Rose approached them after Wanda landed placing a hand on her shoulder and glaring at Agatha.

"Good girl.So what now? You just gonna lock me up somewhere?" Agatha asked Wanda glancing at Rose but turning her focus back on Wanda.

"No. Not somewhere here." Wanda stated matter of factly gaining a confused look from Agatha.

"Here?" Agatha asked looking at Rose hoping for some clarification but only getting a smirk in reply.

Wanda nodded stepping closer,"I'll give you the role you chose,the most neighbor." Agatha seemed to catch on to what Wanda was planning and her shocked face changed to a look of fear.

"No, please..." Agatha started only to be interrupted by Wanda.

"I'm sorry." Wanda frown tilting her head at Agatha who now looked like a mix of fear and anger.

"No,you're not. You're cruel." Agatha said as Wanda started to approach her but stopped and glanced at Rose who kneeled down to Agatha.

"I wanted to thank you,for what you showed me.You helped me let go of my guilt and I thank you for that." Rose said before standing up and walking behind Wanda.

Agatha stared at Rose for a minute taking in her words before looking back at Wanda trying to undo her fate,"you have no idea what you've unleashed.you're gonna need me."

"If I do, I know where to find you." Wanda said approaching Agatha and putting her hand on her head turning her into her role,nosy neighbor.

"Hiya hon.Say that's some kinda getup you're wearing, did I leave the oven on or is that just you, hot stuff." Agnes smiled brightly looking up at Wanda. Rose couldn't help but snort at Agnes she knew it was the spell Wanda casted but it was such a mood change.

"You live here now.No one will ever bother you." Wanda said looking down at the woman.

"Okey dokey, artichokee." Agnes said causing Rose and Wanda to smirk at her.

"I'll be seeing you, Agnes." Wanda said walking away.

"Not if I see you first hon." Agnes chuckled Rose stared at the woman first before waving a goodbye.

Following Wanda she saw both the boys hugging, she caught up to them in time to hear vision.

"So, it would appear that our dream home has been reduced to a fixer upper. I know you'll set everything right, just not for us." Vision stated sadly looking at Wanda.

"No, not for us." Wanda smiled sadly at her husband she couldn't stop the tears welling up in her eyes.

"Hmm it's time. Should we head home?" Vision asked Wanda who glanced back at Rose.

"In one minute." She said walking over to Rose who was standing near Monica.

"It's not fair, that I brought you into this world but made you do what I wanted, it's not fair that I got to have the happy family I wanted when you couldn't so." Wanda said using her powers to conjure a person struggling in the process.

Rose stood shocked as Wanda created a Pietro,"it's not fair that I get to say goodbye and you don't." Wanda finished after the Pietro glanced at Rose and Wanda going to Wanda first to give her a hug then turning to Rose.

Wanda walked away with the boys as Rose and Pietro slowly walked back to the house holding hands.

"I'm sorry I couldn't help you." Rose stated teary eyed recalling the memory from sokovia.

"You shouldn't beat yourself up about it,you were to drained." He said causing Rose to look down.

"But it's my fault I could've helped you." Rose said her voice cracking as she looked up at Pietro.

"You didn't pull the trigger, Ultron did. I made a choice to help someone and I don't regret it." He said stopping in front of the house.

"But-" Rose stopped herself looking on to the closing hex wishing the Pietro was here from the beginning as well.

Pietro stared looking around to at the closing hex and back at Rose,"it seems we're out of time." Rose looked back at him tears in her eyes.

Pietro smiled before kissing her when they pulled apart the hex had moved passed them and Pietro was now disappearing.

"Goodbye dragâ." He smiled before disappearing leaving only Rose who still has
her hands in the air.

She lowered her hands when she saw Wanda in the field where the house once stood.Rose slowly approached her and placing her hands on her shoulders.

"I'm grateful you brought me into this,it helped me heal from the guilt from the past." Rose said looking at Wanda who smiled sadly.

They made there way three the town, the people giving Wanda dirty looks as they approached Monica.

"They'll never know what you sacrificed for them." Monica began as Wanda and Rose approached them.

"It wouldn't change how they see me." Wanda stated sadly looking at Monica.

"And you, you don't...you don't hate me?" Wanda asked Monica surprised expecting her to be furious.

"Given the chance and given your power,I'd bring my mom back.I know I would." Monica said as Rose looked at her shock she didn't know Maria died she should've been there for her.

"I'm sorry for all the pain I caused." Wanda said looking down before glancing back up at Monica who nodded in understanding.

"I don't understand this power, but I will." Wanda said as police sirens came she glanced back at Rose whispering a goodbye as she flew off.

"My dad doesn't know does he." Rose asked looking at Monica.

"Nope I didn't tell him unless Hayward did." Monica said wrapping her arm around Rose shoulder.

"That's good because he would lose his shit." Rose stated looking at Wanda who was flying away.

"Part of the journey is the end."
