You and Wanda were caught up in a deadly battle, destroying both castles in the process. Stephen and Anya had dream walked their dead bodies and intervened in your fight.

"Dreamwalking, you hypocrites!" Wanda yelled at Stephen and Anya, tossing a ball of red energy at him.

You caught Wanda by her shoulder and tossed her back into the wall, pushing her with all your energy and letting the green energy throw her about. The fight went on until you were distracted by Anya intervening to protect you and Wanda took it as an opportunity to injure you. 

America jumped in and punched Wanda across her face with so much force that it opened a ripple of star-shaped portals and fanned out in all directions.

The girl continued to fight her until Wanda caught her by the neck and held her down. But when Wanda noticed that a portal opened behind her, she noticed that it was her variant's house on Earth-838.

She had attacked her variant, tossing her aside, and approached Billy and Tommy. But when the boys feared her and begged to leave, the damage she had done dawned on her and she fell to her knees in regret.

The door of the house banged open and 838 Y/N entered the house, Healing wounds dusted her features while she had panic written all over her face. Her eyes immediately landed on 838 Wanda and rushed over to help her. 

Once she was up on her feet, 838 Wanda approached the Scarlet Witch and held the side of her face in a consoling manner, "Know that they'll be loved,"

You were leaning against the wall of the castle, when a portal opened on the side and Aaron and Mara stepped out of it, making a beeline toward you.

Your eyebrows raised at their arrival, "I told you two—"

"You told us to get Nat somewhere safe. We did," Mara interjected, "She's okay. We wanted to make sure you are,"

You didn't get to speak when Mara and Aaron hugged you, not knowing that you were bruised and beaten up roughly. But you didn't care and embraced them back, soaking in their presence.

When you pulled back, the Clock of Inheritance lifted a corner and brushed a drop of blood from your cheek.

"Stop it," you swatted it away with a wrinkle of your nose, "I said, stop it," you chided it when it tried to dust your face again.

You caught the eyes of 838 Y/N and you felt your body freeze. Guilt rippled in chills down your spine and you gave her a nervous smile.

The woman only smiled at you in return in an understanding manner. You felt a telepathic connection with her: "I understand"

America made the portal close, watching how Wanda had begun to break down.

Wanda looked up at you with teary eyes, unable to speak a word of apology since she didn't even know if you'd listen to her.

Aaron and Mara flinched back slightly when they saw her. Fear was visible in their widened eyes.

Wanda felt as though a knife was twisting in her already broken heart. Seeing this, you made to move towards her.

"Mom! Don't go!" Mara caught your wrist softly, afraid to hurt you.

Aaron tried to reach for your other hand, "No, wait! You're hurt!"

The way Aaron and Mara worried over you reminded Wanda of the time when Billy and Tommy ran into Wanda in the middle of Westview after she had freed some of the people out of the Hex.

A haunting, guilt-tripping deja vu.

Even after all she had lost, you had welcomed her into your family and trusted her with Aaron, but Wanda only exploited your grief, bending it to her will; A fresh set of tears trailed down the Scarlet Witch's face as a whimper escaped her lips; guilt and pain eating away at her mind.

"I'm fine,"

You pushed yourself up to your feet, you put your entire body weight into one foot as you limped over to her.

With tears running down your face, stinging the bruises, you crouched in front of your best friend, who looked away in shame, shoulders shaking with silent sobs.

"Hey," you caught her attention, resting a hand on hers.

Wanda closed her eyes as you brought her forward by the back of her neck and you both rested your foreheads against each other, "I know. It's okay," you comforted her lowly.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry," she repeated over and over again.

A rumble shook the entire castle, making a couple of debris fall. Mara held a gold shield over herself and Aaron to protect themselves.

"Get them out of here," you told to Wong, who nodded grimly in reply.

"No one will ever be tempted by the Darkhold again," Wanda promised to the dream-walked bodies of Anya and Stephen, who acknowledged her words with a nod.

"Y/N," The redhead turned to you, trying to connect to you telepathically.

"No," you shook your head when you realized what she was trying to say, "—Please, no,"

"Y/N, listen to me—"

"There's no way I'm gonna let you kill yourself let alone help you with it," you gritted your teeth together in irritation.

"You've been there for me since I could remember. I value our friendship, but I also exploited it," Wanda started to speak.

"I can't do it," you shook your head.

"Your power exceeds that of the Scarlet Witch and the Sorcerer Supreme,"

"Stop!"

"I can't do it without you, Y/N,"

You exhaled shakily, "I don't want to hurt you,"

"You could never hurt me," Wanda caught your hand, holding it over her palm.

"It's alright," Vision assured you, coaxing one of your outstretched arms in front of the Mind Stone on his forehead, "You could never hurt me,"

"Stop saying that!" your voice wobbled with rising agony.

"The damage I have caused—"

"I can't— I promised to Vision. I lost him, I can't lose you too,"

"Please,"

Your lip began to tremble as tears streamed down your cheeks. The castle around you both was slowly rising with the help of Wanda's magic as she held it up with one hand. You stretched your hand towards SageForte, making it break off and rise into the air with green mists.

When Wanda nodded at you with a heartbreaking smile, both the castles collapsed to the mountains Wundagore and SageForte, destroying it altogether with a red and green blast.
