In Agatha's Basement, Westview
No one POV
Eloise looked over as Wanda's eyes turned back to normal, and Agatha was holding her bunny and Agatha said "Hmm? Hmm? What? No, I know. She does look shocked to meet the real us, doesn't she?".
Eloise said "Really, right now" and Wanda eyes glowed red and Agatha said " That's adorable. My thoughts are not available to you, toots. They never, ever were. So don't go givin' yourself a migraine. We've got work to do."
Wanda in her Sokovian accent said "Where are my children?" and Agatha mockingly said ""Where are my children?"Oof! That accent really comes and goes, doesn't it?".
She put her bunny down and Wanda said "Where are they?" and she went to use her powers against Agatha, Eloise said "Wanda, I wouldn't."
Agatha said " Oh, your magic's no good here."
Agatha threw Wanda back with her magic and threw her across the room, Eloise said "Mom."
She appeared purple ties around Wanda's hands, Agatha said " Didn't you notice? Basic protection spell, one in each wall? No? Nothing? These are runes, Wanda. In a given space, only the witch that cast the runes can use her magic. How do you not know the fundamentals."
Wanda said "Who are you?" and Agatha said "Who are you? All those costumes and hairstyles. I was so patient, waiting for you to reveal your true self. I got close with fake Pietro. Fietro, if you will, but no dice."
Wanda said "That was you" and Agatha said "No, it wasn't literally me. Just my eyes and ears. A crystalline possession. Necromancy was a non-starter since your real brother's body is on another continent. Not to mention, full of holes. But you're so crippled by your own self-doubt that you believed it. Oh, Wanda, oh, when I sensed this place, the afterglow of so many spells cast all at once... Oh, I couldn't make heads or tails of it. Then I found out that my own daughter was here."
Eloise said "And you used it against me, Like the great mother you are" and Agatha said "Oh, kids, Always so disobedient."
Agatha chanting in Latin, Agatha said "Mind control. A classic. Quick incantation and a feeble psyche and you're good to go. With thousands of people under your thumb, all interacting with each other according to complex storylines. Well, that's something special, baby. And of course, there's transmutation."
She turned the bug into a butterfly while chanting in Latin, and Agatha said "Years of study to achieve even the smallest convincing illusion. But Westview through your lens, Wanda... Every little detail in place down to the crown molding. You're even running illusions miles away at the edge of town. Magic on autopilot. What's your secret, sister? Listen, I need you... Hey, Wanda, I need you to tell me how you did this."
Wanda said "I didn't do anything.I'm not.." and Agatha threw Wanda across the walls and Wanda screamed. Eloise said "That's enough."
Agatha said " I tried to be gentle, to nudge you awake from this ridiculous fantasy, but you would rather fall apart than face your truth. You left me no choice. What was it you said to your not-brother? Hmm? All you could recall was the feeling. You felt empty. Alone. Endless nothingness. Let's start there. It's been fun playing pretend for a while, hasn't it, Wanda?".
Agatha chanting in Latin, letting Wanda go and a door appeared and Eloise said "Really, memory spell."
Agatha said "You want to know this as much as I do, This power could give us what we want back" and Eloise said "and now you care."
Agatha said "It's time to look at some real reruns. All right, let's go" and Wanda said "No."
Agatha said "Oh, I'm sorry. Did you forget who's got your children stashed away in her bewitched basement?".
