Chapter 1. The marvel and doctor who universe phase three infinity saga

Chapter 2- the scarlet witch

On a warm summer afternoon in 2016, New York City was pulsating with its usual energy. Skyscrapers grazed the clouds, while the streets below were alive with the buzz of both tourists and locals. In a secluded corner of the Avengers' base, Jayden leaned back in his chair, his bare feet resting on the cool metal of the floor. He took a long sip of water, wishing it were something colder. He had been immersed in his school project for what felt like a lifetime, a graphic representation of time and space that he was sure amazed all his classmates back in England.

Since moving to America full-time, Jayden had lived many lives. One moment he was a regular kid, and in the next, he found himself stumbling into worlds he had read about in comic books and watched in movies. Time travels with the Doctor had taken him from the lush forests of Sherwood to the desolate landscape of an alien planet. But today was different. Today he was content to be in the quiet sanctuary of the Avengers' headquarters.

"Still working on that old project of yours?" A voice broke through his thoughts, and he looked up to see Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch, standing in the doorway, her hair cascading down her shoulders like a dark waterfall. She leaned against the frame, a playful smile lighting up her face.

Jayden chuckled, gesturing at the stacks of papers and colorful markers scattered around him. "It's probably going to be the death of me. But I think I've finally figured out how to represent the multiverse without it looking like a completed jigsaw puzzle!"

Wanda walked in, taking a seat on the edge of his desk. "You always seem to have the wildest ideas. I remember when we traveled to the 18th century, and you insisted we dress up as pirates."

"I was just trying to have a little fun!" Jayden defended, laughing. "And it was a pretty good look for both of us."

They shared a comfortable silence, allowing the soft hum of the base to fill the space. Jayden found solace in those moments with Wanda. She understood what it was like to have immense power and responsibility resting on their young shoulders. Though he wasn't a superhero, being friends with the Avengers changed everything about his life.

"Do you remember the first time I used my powers in front of you?" Wanda asked, her eyes sparkling with the memories. "I thought you'd run away screaming."

Jayden grinned, remembering the chaotic scene when her telekinesis had accidentally sent a stack of books crashing off a shelf. "I was more impressed than scared!" he admitted. "For someone who's traveled so much, you were the first person I met who could literally bend reality."

"I liked being real with you," Wanda said softly. "Life can feel... unreal at times, especially around here. But with you, I can be both a superhero and just Wanda. Plus, you never freak out about my powers. It's refreshing."

Jayden felt a warmth spread in his chest. Their connection was special; they were more than just friends, they were kindred spirits navigating a world that was often too big and chaotic. "I'd never freak out," he said earnestly. "You're amazing, Wanda. You bring things to life that others wouldn't even dream of. And with everything you've been through, you deserve to be happy."

Wanda's smile widened, and she reached out to give his shoulder a friendly squeeze. "And you deserve to finish that project. Want me to help? I could enchant your markers to create some magical effects," she suggested, mischief dancing in her eyes.

Jayden raised an eyebrow, intrigued but cautious. "You mean... colorful explosions? That could be risky. I don't think Mr. Thompson would appreciate that."

"Oh, come on! Just imagine the look on his face when your project takes off!" she teased, her laughter infectious.

"No explosions—creative effects work," he bargained, already imagining the colorful swirls that would dance on the poster if she'd use her powers carefully.

"Alright, but just for the sheer joy of seeing Mr. Thompson's face," she conceded with a wink.

As they worked together, the once-dull papers transformed into a whirlwind of creativity. Jayden would often glance at Wanda, marveling at her grace, her powers weaving through the markers and making every stroke come alive.

Outside, the sun began to dip below the horizon, casting a warm glow through the large windows of the base. In that moment, surrounded by the comfort of friendship and the thrill of collaboration, Jayden realized something significant: no matter where he traveled through time and space, the connections he formed on Earth were what grounded him—specifically, his bond with Wanda.

For Jayden, 2016 would forever be the year he made his mark, not just in history books, but in the hearts of those who became family in this outlandish world of heroes. And as his project came to life, he couldn't help but feel that together, they could face any challenge the universe threw their way.
