her gaze settled on him, eerily still. no warmth in her expression, only a distant curiosity as crimson flickered faintly between her fingertips. she studied him as though he were something vaguely familiar.
โi wanted to see you.โ
a pause.
โthough iโm beginning to wonder why.โ
Not that he doesnโt appreciate her suddenly appearing, but heโs wondering /why/ sheโs here. . . or how she got into his mind. Oh, waitโ
โHello,โ Heโs caught off guard, remaining polite. โ. . .Was there something you required?โ

her eyes narrowed, the red haze around him darkening.
โyou mistake restraint for theatrics.โ
a beat.
โkeep mocking me, stephen. i can always show you something worth fearing.โ
He sighs. She was so lost in this chaos,just when he thought she redeemed herself
โThen why are you in my head Wanda? Youโre a witch are you not?โ
He remarked with dry sass.
โTrying to scare me as if Iโm some haunted house patron is beneath you.โ
@Redr00mEscapee wandaโs expression remained empty, untouched by the hurt in natashaโs voice.
โyou keep mistaking your memories of me for mine of you.โ
the mist stirred between them.
โwhatever she meant to you, i am not her.โ
a faint laugh echoes around him, though she remains nowhere in sight.
โkill you?โ
the red mist coils tighter.
โno, stephen. death would wake you.โ
He shook his head,hand clutching the side.
โThere would be no point. You caught me off guard the night prior.โ
He looked as if trying to find her.
โAnd what exactly is your plan after? Kill me?โ
the scarlet witch lingered at the edge of his mind, her voice slipping through the silence.
โwant?โ
a quiet, hollow laugh.
โi want you to remember what fear feels like, stephen.โ
โ
her eyes passed over vision and the children without recognition.
โyou gave me names. memories. a life.โ
a pause.
โnone of it is mine.โ
she turned away.
โi cannot remember what i never lived.โ
wanda stopped, gaze dropping to the hand around her wrist. no anger. no discomfort. nothing.
scarlet mist loosened the otherโs grip before she pulled away.
โthere was no point. your dream was open, so i entered.โ
โ
There was a feeling of helplessness. It was all just a dream. Those children were not real. And neither was the man.
Yet seeing the other simply flick them away like this.. it hurt.
Arguably even worse was the fact, that this Wanda was denying any relation to them. +
nothing.
not even the faintest flicker of recognition crossed her face as the names were spoken.
tommy. billy. vision.
they might as well have belonged to strangers.
โ
A moment of silence, as the other appeared. Perhaps it was a moment of shock, but finding the courage to speak was difficult.
Hands clenching to fists for mere seconds. Twitching.
And though she took a cautious step back, there did not seem to be immediate danger coming from +

she stepped closer, red staining the edges of the dream as she stared into her counterpartโs tearful eyes.
โyou cannot make me remember something i never lived through.โ
a glance toward the broken vision.
