The Vibe:

"What did you do?" Stephen yells as he runs through the portal, followed by Wong & Peter.

"What happened?" Peter says frantically running to my side.

"I did nothing to her, you ass," Wanda says shooting daggers at Stephen. She then looks to Peter, "Her memories came back and she's been hysterical. The only magic I used was to bring her to a calm state" There I lay on the ground with my head in her lap, eyes closed and in a docile state.

Peter takes my hand and looks around noticing the surrounding forest in disarray, "Did she have an episode?"

"Yea," She says with a hint of sadness in her voice, "Lightning hit the ground and the trees. If I hadn't calmed her down this forest would be in flames." Wanda hesitates

"What is it" Wong finally speaks up, hearing the hesitation in her voice.

"She remembered she had a son..." they all stand there shocked, unsure what to say to that

"Let me talk to her," Peter says

"If she did this" Wong says gesturing to the surrounding forest, "she needs to stay asleep"

"Well what would you have me do," Peter sternly says

"Can you take her to the Kamar-Taj" Wanda chimes in

"We can't afford to risk having another fight there if she has a breakdown," Stephen says, "What about Wakanda?"

"I'll call Shuri," Peter says quickly grabbing his phone

"I'll do you one better," Wong says opening a portal to Shuri's lab

"What the hell!" Shuri says startled before turning around, "You scared the daylights out of me Millie" Shuri says walking towards the portal and abruptly stopping as she sees a familiar face, "Wanda? I haven't seen you since-" She says before looking down and seeing me in Wanda's arms, "What's going on?"

"She regained her memory and I think it was too much for her. Wanda is keeping her calm and we don't know where to take her in case she has a full breakdown. She could hurt someone. " Peter says to her

"We'll take her to the coast, she'll be safe there and away from people," Shuri says gesturing to the group, "Come"

"Uh 1,2,3," I say in a funny baby voice, "Uh 1,2,3. Yes, that's right" I laugh at my little boy as I hold him up to the sky as he giggles, "Who's Mama's big boy?" We're sitting outside on the grass enjoying the springtime and basking in the Sun. It's important he understands the beauty of our earth and the power we draw from it.

"mm-mm-ma" Amun mumbles out

"Yes, baby! So close Ma-MA" I say breaking it down for him

"Millie you gotta go you're gonna be late for your lecture," The professor says as he approaches me

"Cancel class, our students aren't interested in World History anyways Charles," I say laughing and smiling still playing with Amun

"What do you mean? They love your class" he quips back

"Respectfully, It's 1971 Professor. All our students care about is sex, pot, and their powers. My students love me not the class."
