She dries her hair in front of a mirror trying to remember everything that happened. It's all a dark red blur from Peter's distorted voice, flashes of her attacking random people, and things that she has never seen. She looks at her hands as a tiny swirl of her hex puffs out of her palm. She was still weak but she'll be able to hover a quarter her way. The door open with Peter holding a bag in his hands.

"Oh hey sorry, I just got some stuff for you at the Walgreens ™ down the street." He awkwardly says as he puts the bag beside her. She smiles but it quickly fades away.

"What's wrong?" Peter asks.

"I can't remember anything from the last few years." She sighs.

"Must've been that thing inside you, it must've been in and out of your consciousness for all this time to the point that it basically became a regular cerebral function."  Peter says as he looks into her eyes, seeing the complete strain in them. She turns away.

"I don't know if I can jump back into this life. I want to help others Peter but somebody always seems to die."

"I won't lie that is true but this job will never be easy even on it's most quietest days. Whatever you did wasn't you and you will always be the strongest in the battle." Peter Pat's her shoulder and leaves to exit.

"Wait Peter." He turns around.

"Could you get my brush?" She sheepishly asks.

"Oh yeah sure."

Wanda opens her phone to see that a incident is happening in the Southern Sea board. The creature was massive.

Peter tosses her brush and she shows him the news report. Suddenly his phone vibrates.

"Sam what's up?"

"We're going to start fighting this sea monster, your tagging along or what?" Sam asks and his voice is sounding hasty about it. Peter looks back at Wanda and she nods.

"Yeah of course we gotta stop it anyway we can, I'll meet you at the rooftop on Lexington." Peter's head was swarming with thoughts!

"Peter it's ok, I'll stay here you go fight that ugly creature." Wanda smiles and he immediately jumps out the window as his suit forms around him, swinging away towards the skyscrapers.

"Be safe Peter." Wanda says alone clutching the window frame.
