" Of course. I'll try in anyway I can. Please, come in." Liliah told them.
" Thank you." Monica smiled.
They walked in.
" Wow. Your house is huge." Darcy looked around.
Liliah chuckled and shut the door behind them.
" Um thank you. It was actually my parents house. My adoptive parents, Steve and Peggy Rogers." Liliah told them.

" Ohh now it makes sense. I was wondering how you could afford such a big house." Darcy nodded.
" Darcy." Monica scolded.
" Its okay. I understand." Liliah smiled and walked them into the living room and sat down in an armchair.
Fred sat next to her causing her to practically sit on his lap. Ever since they got back together he never left her side, always wanting to touch her in some way.

" We just have a couple of questions to ask, if that's alright." Jimmy told her.
" If course. Please seat down. What are your questions?" Liliah asked.
The three sat down on the couch opposite of Liliah and Fred, on the other side of the coffee table.
" Yeah like who's is this tall, ginger, British hunk?" Darcy asked.

" This is my fiancé Fred." Liliah told them without really thinking.
Fred smiled at her calling him her fiancé. He was worried she would go back to calling him just a boyfriend.
" Hello nice to meet you." Fred smiled.
" Gorgeous." Darcy said.
" Nice to meet you. Now back to our questions. First can you identify the people in this photo, when it was taken and where the location is?" Monica handed her a photo.

Liliah looked at it.
" Well this is Wanda Maximoff and Vision. I- I have no idea where it was taken. And that's-that's weird, I've never seen this photo before. Why is it in black and white? And what the hell is Wanda wearing?" Liliah examined the photo.
" When was the last time you spoke to Miss Maximoff?" Jimmy asked.
" About two weeks ago. She was going to Wakanda. To retrieve Visions body. She wants to have a funeral for him." Liliah told them.

" You haven't spoken to her since?" Darcy asked.
" No, I've been a bit preoccupied this last week to realize she hadn't called me." Liliah said.
" Miss Rogers, this photo was taken three days ago." Monica told her.
" What? No, no. You must be mistaken. Vision is- well he is dead. Thanos killed him. I watched him die, twice. This photo couldn't have been took three days ago." Liliah shook her head.

" Miss Rogers have you ever heard of a town called Westview in New Jersey?" Jimmy asked.
" I can't say I have." Liliah said.
" Well outside of this town is a huge energy field. And from inside it we are getting a program, that's where we are getting these photos. It's like a sitcom, starring Wanda and Vision." Darcy told her.
" Sitcoms?" Liliah asked.
" Yes, why?" Jimmy asked.

" Wanda...she-she. I need to see her." Liliah told them.
" Well that takes care of our next question. We would love your assistance on this."  Jimmy nodded.
"Good, cause it wasn't a request." Liliah stood up.
" We'll wait for you in the car." Monica told her.
" I'll only be a minute. Fred came help me upstairs." Liliah looked at him then started towards the stairs.

Fred followed her up to their bedroom. He opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted.
" Come with me." Liliah said.
" Wha-what?" Fred asked completely taken back.
" Come with me. Please. I want you to come with me to Westview. I can't leave you again." Liliah told him.
" I-uh can I be honest this is not where I thought this conversation was going to go." Fred shook his head.

Liliah chuckled.
" Usually I would want you to stay. But this is Wanda, and possibly Vision. They would never hurt us, their my family. And I would feel much better if you were with me instead of here by yourself. Plus I think I could really use you on this." Liliah explained.
" Okay. I'll go with you." Fred lend down and kissed her.
" Good. Now reach under the bed and you'll find two duffle bags pull those out and take them down stairs. I'm going to grab my own materials." Liliah told him.

" Hey, sunflower. Does this mean I'm an Avenger? Cause this is official avenger business and your bringing me, soo..." Fred asked.
" How about Avenger in training." Liliah looked back at him.
" Hmm fine. I'll prove to you I'm Avenger material." Fred pointed at her.
" I don't doubt it." Liliah smiled and shook her head.

" So brief me on what's been happing." Liliah said as they drove to New Jersey.
" We've gotten tons of missing persons calls. A missing town really, no one has seemed to heard of it. Then we discovered an energy field around it-" Jimmy started.
" The hex. That's what I named it." Darcy told her.
" Has anyone tried going in the town?" Liliah asked.

" I did. I was there for-well I don't know how long but I was cast out by Wanda, in the seventies." Monica explained.
" Right cause it's a sitcom. We'll have you been able to make any other contact with her?" Liliah asked.
" We've come close, but it seems Wanda is rejecting, and ignoring our attempts." Jimmy told her.

" Well she won't reject me. I'll go in and talk to her." Liliah decided.
" Bad idea. It's not meant for regular humans. Monica's lucky she survived." Darcy said.
Liliah looked at Fred, who was trying to hide his smirk.
" I think I'll be alright." Liliah nodded.

" Well here it is Westview." Jimmy said as they got out of the car.
Liliah walked towards the energy field. She looked at Fred and used legilimency to tell him to keep them distracted.
" Why did Wanda cast you out?" Fred asked.
While Monica explained Liliah walked as close as she could. She put her hand out and felt the energy.

Liliah closed her eyes and see if she could connect with Wanda.
" Wands it's me, Lils." Liliah said in her mind.
She waited for a response, but after a few seconds she sighed and opened her eyes. Liliah was about to turn back and walk away when she was pulled back. Liliah screamed as she was sucked through the vertex.

" Liliah! Liliah!" Fred ran towards her.
He tried grabbing onto her hand but just missed.
" Fuck, not again-" Fred started but then he was sucked through the vertex as well.
Darcy, Monica, and Jimmy watched with wide eyes.
" Holy shit." Darcy said.

" Come on, back to headquarters now." Monica rushed back to the car.

Liliah blinked her eyes open and saw she was standing in front of a door. The door opened to reveal Wanda in a pair of overalls and big hair.
" Oh Liliah, my best friend. What brings you to town?" Wanda asked.
Liliah wanted to ask what the hell was going on.
" Me and my husband Fred just moved here. Just across the street isn't it bodacious?" Is what come out instead.
" Totally tubular. I bet Fred will be along in a minute." Wanda smiled.

Liliah smiled completely forgetting what she was here for and walked into the house.
