Tommy and Billy were in Billy's room trying to figure out what the heck just happened.

"Do you think she saw us?" Billy asked.

"What the what. How can Mom do that to Dad? Is she brainwashing him?" Tommy was freaking out.

"I don't think she'd do that," Billy assured him "Maybe she's just wiping his short-term memory?"

"Yeah, ok. But still, it's not right. And it makes me think what if-" Tommy stopped.

"What if she's done it to us?" Billy finished for him.

"Yeah."

"Also," Billy continued "Who was that officer, and why did he call Mom 'The Scarlet Witch'?"

"You know what this means, Billy? It means that Mom doesn't tell us the truth and we have to pretend like everything's normal and-"

There was a knock on the bedroom door. "Boys?" It was Wanda. "Why is the door locked? Please open it."

Billy got up off his bed and opened the door. Wanda had two bowls of popcorn floating behind her.

"Hi, um, Mom." Billy smiled nervously.

Tommy put his face in his hands, disappointed in his brother's abilities.

Wanda smiled "Hi. Is everything ok?"

"Yes!" Tommy shouted "Everything is A-OK. Bye!"

He slammed the door in her face.

Billy sighed, "That could have gone better."

"Right," Tommy turned around so he was facing Billy "I need you to try really hard to do some magic. It'll be tough."

Billy raked his hands through his hair "You don't think I know that? Tommy I-"

"I believe in you, little bro. You can do this." Tommy said.

"You're only older by 1 minute," Billy sighed. "And, I'll try, ok? What do you want me to do?"

"I need you to take a sneak peek at the other realities. I want you to try and see through Mom's lies." Tommy pushed.

Billy sat in the middle of his room, on the floor while Tommy sat on Billy's bed and ate popcorn, watching intently.

Billy closed his eyes, trying to concentrate.

He was interrupted by Tommy, "Bro, why are you closing your eyes? How are you going to see if your eyes are closed?"

"Be quiet, Tommy. You asked me to do this, I'm doing it my way."

Billy opened his eyes "All possible realities, all possible realities, all possible realities, all possible..."

He continued to chant, and as he did, like a hologram flickering on, thousands of pictures filled the room, of what could be, what will be, what was, and what is.
