Electric Heart (Pietro Maximoff)

Chapter 24: Multiverse Of Madness

"Wanda, open up it's freezing out here" a female voice came from outside, Billy and Tommy's faces lit up as they ran to open the door, a slight tear fell from Wanda's eye as the door opened and her best friend and brother walked in, alive and well.

It had been months since she'd seen Alyson's face, even longer since she'd seen Pietro's.

Wanda froze as she watched the scene in front of her, feeling like she was still in a dream, but this time she was actually here; it almost made her forget her reasons for dream-walking in the first place.

"Boys!" Pietro laughed as they tackled him to the floor, Alyson ruffled both their heads and ran inside to hug Wanda, but dispersed upon feeling how tense and stiff Wanda's body had gone, "Wanda?"

Wanda started to fall to the floor as her family surrounded her, Pietro sped over quickly holding her head up while her boys ran into her arms, Wanda's real body mirrored the action as she woke up.

"No!" she screamed as she woke back in her own universe; the dark hold had been destroyed.

A few hours prior

"Where's Strange? Wong? anyone come on!" Alyson yelled, throwing her fists onto the desk in a fit of rage, as the impact hit she winced out and reached for her freshly bandaged wound.

Pietro reached for her cautiously, but she smiled up at him "I'm okay" she winced and he raised his eyebrows at her.

"Look I don't know what to tell you guys, I'm not allowed to give away that information," a young woman said nonchalantly flicking through a vogue magazine.

Alyson's eyes darkened and she twisted her palms up as the girl looked at her with amusement, nothing happened and Alyson groaned in annoyance, then she moved to leap over the desk and grab the girl but Pietro caught her by the waist first and delicately led her away to calm down, he'd noticed since he'd come back that she was a lot more 'fight first, think later' now, a lot more brutal than before he left.

He turned back around to the girl at the front desk of the Sanctum Sanctorum and narrowed his eyes, "listen I don't think you are understanding us. She knows Strange, he asked for her help because of the issue he's having with Wanda Maximoff. My. Twin. Sister."

The girl widened her eyes and then crossed her arms suspiciously, "aren't you supposed to be dead?" she snickered and he raised an eyebrow, "do I look dead?"

She shrugged then opened her magazine back up and Pietro grunted, he turned around and grabbed Alyson softly who was staring at the girl maliciously, then he pulled her towards the door, "we'll figure this out" he sighed.

As they got towards the exit they suddenly heard someone whistle at them, Pietro turned around and glanced at a middle-aged man walking towards them.

"Alyson Parker?" he asked and she nodded with narrow eyes, "Strange asked me to keep an eye out for you" he said.

"Can you send us to him?" she asked suspiciously and the man started to look Pietro up and down, Pietro hummed under his breath then rolled his eyes "I'm supposed to be dead I know."

The guy looked away from him and turned back to Aly, "you need to hurry, I don't know if she's already there but the Scarlet Witch is on her way."

Alyson gulped and glanced up at Pietro before sighing, "can you portal us there?"

Alyson pulled a reluctant Pietro through the portal, he looked at the fiery orange glow in fear, gaping at it as they stepped into the Kamar-Taj.
