SUSAN STORM'S LAB

Susan was standing in her lab, she arrived a few minutes after Peter's visit. Waiting patiently for his arrival, she was curious as about whom he was talking about.

She waited for about 15 minutes and soon a new portal appeared, bigger than his usual ones. She saw, surprisingly, Natasha step out first followed by a blonde woman who was pushing a cuffed bald man in a green suit and lastly Peter pushed a pod out of the portal. She peeked at the other side of the portal and found many men in suits and Armor lying around.

The portal closed behind Peter, Susan looked at the pod and observed a young girl floating inside.

" So she's the girl you were talking about,?" asked Susan as she observed the pod.

" Yes, she's Ava. Genetic clone made from Natasha and mine DNA," replied Peter with a shrug.

" You are not even back for 24 hours and You have another clone?" Asked Susan with surprise.

" Well it's not just my clone...She has Natasha's DNA too," replied Peter while he pointed his thumb at said widow.

" You all can figure out your family problems later, what do we do this menace?" Interjected Yelena as she pointed at the bound HYDRA.

" Let me call the security and get him transferred to SHIELD," said Natasha, she then hauled the man and pushed him out of the lab.

" So Susan, let's get back to work," he said and Susan nodded in agreement.

SANCTUM SANCTORUM

Ela looked around the Sanctum like a child in an amusement park, she was observing all the mystical artifacts that the SANCTORUM has to offer. She was accompanied by, her caretaker for the time, Wong.

Wong tried to answer her questions as good as he can as the young mistress of chaos was a ball of energy.

Her mother was with Mr. Dr. Strange and Ms.Clea, trying to find some spell for her father.

After Wong getting tired from giving tour to the hyper teen of the massive magical estate, Ela relented begrudgingly and sat down on a sofa at a small library in the estate. Reading an interesting book on mystical art given to her by Wong as he prepared some tea for both of them.

She was getting bored after drinking many cups of tea and finishing most books given to her by Wong. The adults do take all the sweet time , she should have stayed with her father then they could have had some fun instead of sitting idle.

'Ela...' she telepathicaly heard the call of her mother, she straightened up in her seat and replied.

'Yes mom?...'

' Honey, can you fetch your father? Tell him we found a solution for his problem. He will be ....'Wanda paused for a short while, Ela guessed it might be due to her mother trying to find her father.

' Ha! Ela honey he's with Susan and Natasha. You can find him easily at his company,' said Wanda telepathicaly, Ela replied with an excited yes.
