Stephen, Christine, Anya, America, and Melanie sprinted down a set of stairs and noticed from far away the red and green glow from the upper level. They had escaped from you and Wanda by trapping you in a compartment and breaking a pipe so that it would fill with water.

Now, they were all standing in front of a sealed door that would lead them to the Gap Junction. Stephen tried several times to open it but in vain.

Trying for one last time, Stephen placed the ring he took from Christine in the hole and it instantly moved by itself to the side. Gears clicked, one over another, indicating that it was working. The door swung open with a purplish glow.

Stephen watched in awe for a couple of seconds and then jumped into the colorful glassed floor, landing safely, before turning back to face the others, "Come on, kid. You got this."

Anya whirled around to face America and Melanie, who was next to Christine. Melanie exhaled a long breath, and shared a look, "We got this."

"Yeah," America nodded, seeming somewhat convinced.

Anya watched how America landed on the glassed floor the same way Stephen did, followed by Melanie and Christine. She jumped out of the door and was ready to place her hands in front of her for landing when Stephen grabbed her carefully by the arms and got her up to her feet.

"You alright?" he asked.

"Yeah. Perfect," Anya replied shortly, "This is the Gap Junction, the space between universes," she noticed the book closest to her, making everyone turn towards it.

Stephen strode towards it, noticing how it was letting out a humming noise, "All right, Book. Give me what I need,"

He took it in his hands and the next second the humming ceased. Everyone waited eagerly for Stephen to proceed. 

But the moment was broken when America let out a scream and was hauled back by a strong force.

Christine whirled around and didn't think twice about running to America's aid when Anya and Stephen pulled her back by the arm. Melanie tried to reach for her girlfriend, but Anya had a strong hold on her.

Stephen placed a hand in front of him and summoned a blast of orange rings directly to you, but you prepared for him. You absorbed the string of energy and sent it right back to him with a stronger green force.

This threw Anya, Stephen, Christine, and Melanie off their feet. The Book of Vishanti fell out of Stephen's reach, incinerating into ashes.

Wanda wrapped Christine, Anya, Melanie, and Stephen in red ropes and restrain them in the air, while you mind-controlled America to open a portal.

A star-shaped portal appeared right beside the four restrained ones and Wanda tossed them into it. Another total formed and this time, America was thrown into it. 

The girl landed on the castle floor harshly and saw how you and Wand were hovering mid-air and then opened your eyes, both of you leaving your variant's bodies without any care.

America rolled off the ground and got to her knees, feeling her throat go dry at the sight of you and Wanda in utter fear.

"This isn't what your family would want," America pleaded, "Please. This isn't what Bucky would want for you,"

Wanda caught her forearm and threw her onto the stone table in the center of the castle, "They'll never know,"

"Maybe not," America responded, "But you will. And so will Bucky," she added, managing to glare at you.

Rings of green mists restrained America to the table as you leaned forward, tilting your head to the side with a smoldering look, "You pushed my hand. You took my family from me. You expect me to just 'forgive you'?"

"I didn't," the girl gulped, glancing at Wanda, who was busy casting spells and was quite a distance away from the two of you.

You narrowed your eyes at her, dilemma clouding your thoughts, "What do you mean?"
