Wanda snapped back to reality as Charles dropped dead, she looked at the glass cell, growling as she found America and Christine gone.
The two ran through the halls, speeding like there was no tomorrow, when, a loud screeching came from behind a wall. They skid on the slippery floor, pausing as they waited for the unseened threat that was approaching them.
"Hey! You alright?!" Stephen asked as he almost slipped on the floor, you bumping into him as he stopped abruptly.
"You guys okay?" You asked worriedly as America ran towards Stephen, hugging him, before she screamed when she saw you.
"What is she doing here?!"
"Hey, calm down, kid, she's with us now."
America sighed, wrapping her arms around you, making you do the same.
"Xavier said I built a waypoint to The Book of Vishanti." Stephen said, panting. "Can you take us there, Christine?"
"How am I supposed to trust you?"
"I know what happened, and I'm sorry for what he did, but believe me, The Book of Vishanti is the only way."
"What happe-" You asked before you were cut off by Christine, making you huff.
"Yeah, your way." She replied. "You sound a lot like my Stephen right now. He had to be the one holding the knife, and then that knife killed a trillion people."
"But this Stephen is different, he is. It doesn't matter about all the other Stephens. You're not like them." America backed him up.
"Smart kid." Stephen smiled, thanking America.
"Follow me." Christine said, as she led the three of you to a tunnel underground, but none of you knew that The Scarlet Witch was right on your tail.
"Where does that tunnel go?" Stephen asked as Christine locked the passageway.
"Under the river."
Just as they left the door, it creaked right back open, making them turn around, seeing Wanda using her powers to pry the door, her eyes now turning a bright scarlet red.
"Go, go, go, go, go!" You shouted, pushing everyone through the tunnel door, shutting it behind you.
You ran behind the trio, shutting all the steel metal doors, buying them time before Wanda pryed them open one by one, making you scream. However, as you pulled shut the last door, Wanda didn't come breaking through it, instead, she just stood there, smiling at you as the door closed in her face.
You joined back with Stephen and the rest, all of you trying to catch your breath as you hears the trickling of the water from above you, echoing through the tunnels.
"Where did she go?" America whispered, breaking the silence.
Suddenly, Wanda came out from the shadows, making everyone stumble back as America let out a loud ear piercing yell, hiding behind Christine.
"I warned you." Wanda grunted as she limped closer to you.
"Other Wanda, if you're in there, hold your breath." Stephen said, he conjured his orange sparks and broke the ceiling above Wanda, immediately, water came gushing down, the strong force throwing Wanda back as she drifted away with the current.
"Run!" You shouted, lifting the next door for them, making sure everyone got in before you locked it behind you.
"Did you kill her?" America asked.
"No, just bought us some time."
