.....

Seeing that Wanda had no intention of leaving, Pietro couldn't help but speak up:

"Wanda, they're using us!"

HYDRA had always been exploiting Pietro and Wanda. Even before their powers awakened, they weren't seen as anything more than mere test subjects in HYDRA's experiments. Compared to the twins, HYDRA was far more interested in Loki's scepter, now in Roger's possession.

Pietro didn't trust these people. With a way out right in front of them, there was no chance he'd miss it.

Wanda stared at Roger for a long while and finally said:

"...Break the room holding us, and we can leave on our own."

"Alright, if that's what you wish."

It wasn't surprising that this pair of twins, who harbored a deep grudge against Tony Stark, didn't trust Roger, a stranger. Since they wanted to leave on their own, Roger respected their decision.

Standing before the glass wall separating the twins from freedom, Roger instructed:

"You two, step back."

Pietro and Wanda did as told. Roger then placed his hands on the glass and gently applied pressure.

Crash!

The glass, which had been reinforced to contain powered individuals, shattered easily. Shards scattered across the room, and Pietro and Wanda looked at the fragments, momentarily lost in thought. Roger spoke again:

"The thing trapping you is gone. You're free."

Pietro and Wanda stepped out, exchanging a glance. Pietro then asked Roger:

"We don't even know your name."

"That's not important. You won't be coming with me, anyway. As a last act of goodwill, I'll handle the HYDRA agents outside. After that, do as you wish."

Seeing that the two weren't interested in joining him, Roger didn't hesitate. He turned and left.

Helping Wanda and Pietro was a mere detour; Roger hadn't expected anything from them. After destroying the HYDRA base and taking out most of its personnel, he took to the skies and departed.

Pietro and Wanda, now free, looked up in the direction Roger had flown. Wanda turned to her brother and asked:

"Where do we go now?"

Pietro, after a brief silence, replied with determination:

"To find Stark. For revenge!"

...

Having left the world where Wanda and Pietro existed, Roger continued his quest to find Jean Grey.

But whether Jean hadn't followed him into this world, or if something had gone wrong during the dimensional transfer, Roger couldn't find any trace of her on Earth.

After three full days of searching without results, he gave up looking on Earth. He considered that perhaps Jean had been transported to another planet or even another dimension. If that were the case, searching like this was futile.

After all, the Marvel Universe wasn't limited to just Earth as a life-bearing place.

Roger tried not to dwell on the possibility of something happening to Jean. He felt responsible for her safety, having brought her out of her world. If anything did happen to Jean, he couldn't imagine how he'd face Charles Xavier.
