[3rd POV]
With the knowledge that Saitama would be returning in the coming days to spar with her daughter, Wanda had decided to inform Milim. And to say that her daughter was excited to spar with the man, was an understatement.
Especially once she had put on One Punch Man, and had binge watched the entire show with her over the next couple of days after the man had left the shop. She had rather quickly fallen in love with the show, and had decided that it would be one of her favorites.
She had then asked her mother for a copy of every manga volume that there was. She wanted to binge read the entire series, to see just how strong Saitama becomes towards the end of it. As she wished to see if the man would be a fight worthy of her attention, and if it would be comparable to the ones she had with Vegeta and Goku.
Wanda had given her the manga, but only after getting Milim's promise that she would not stay up all night reading.
And Milim decided a couple of days later that he would be a better sparring partner than even Goku and Vegeta. As even though Goku and Vegeta would get zenkai boosts from their fighting, it wouldn't compare to what Saitama had.
The fact that he would actively get stronger while they are in the middle of fighting, meant that it was only a matter of time before he became strong enough to genuinely give her a difficult fight. And he would even surpass her eventually the longer they fought.
And that was very fun sounding to Milim.
She also thought that the man was hilarious, and the facial expressions he made was amusing to her. Naruto thought the same when he decided to join her reading session, finding that the man was goofy.
He wanted to do a prank on the man, maybe involving his baldness or hair. But Wanda had warned him against that, as the man got rather...heated when involving his head and the lack of hair upon it. The dude wanted nothing more than to get a full head of hair, and to have a good fight with someone.
Wanda was certain the latter was possible and easy. But the former...well, she wasn't sure about that one. She had looked into it, and found that his lack of hair was somehow bonded to his power, which was definitely not normal. And she was half tempted to help him, but found that doing that would be...boring.
She'd let him figure it out on his own. Plus he looked weirder with hair than bald. And imagining him with hair made her uncomfortable, it was like looking at someone who has had a beard for the past 10 years, only to see them then have no beard the next day.
It looked out of place and strange.
Raven had found herself watching the anime with them after hearing about Saitama's visit. She was confused on what about the man was so special, but after watching the show, she had asked if it would be possible to go there in the future.
She wanted to see what the psychic power there was like. As thanks to her power, she had a deep connection with psychic energy and power, and that world had some very powerful psionic beings. Like Tatsumaki, who could probably decimate the planet at her full power.
Or at least a huge portion of it.
Wanda decided they'd go there eventually, but they only recently got back from a trip, so it would have to wait for a little while. She wanted the visits into other worlds to be an occasional thing, not a repeating constant.
During the time before Saitama would eventually return, she ended up getting a couple visits.
______________
[Flashback] 1]
A day after the visit from Saitama and the Joker's visit before him, someone that she had been expecting had walked into the shop.
Vandal Savage.
"Ah, I was wondering when you'd come here, Savage" Wanda said openly, as she glanced up at the man who stilled slightly. He understood instantly that she knew what they did, and wasn't that surprised. He just hoped she wouldn't wipe him from existence before he got a chance to defend himself.
"You know, I do not appreciate being used to get rid of someone, Savage. Even if that someone is a monstrous little man like the Joker" Wanda said, giving him a cold stare, not entirely pleased with being used like that.
"I apologize, Miss Maximoff. But the Joker was causing the Light a lot of issues, and needed to be dealt with. And while we could have done it ourselves, it wouldn't have been nearly as...absolute. And thanks to that man's particular...skills at returning from death, we decided that the only way to end him was to direct him in your direction. And for that, you have the Lights sincerest apologies" Vandal Savage said with a bow, sweating slightly in nervousness.
He was usually impossible to intimidate, but this was Wanda he was standing in front of. Someone who could effortlessly wipe him from existence, as well as all of the beings that he has worked with, including Darkseid himself.
That man was nothing more than a worm to her at this point. And she was only getting stronger.
"I understand that you wanted him dead, Savage. And frankly I was more than happy to eliminate him. But what I am not happy with, is that you thought you had the right to try and manipulate me, and force conflict upon this neutral zone. Did you think I would not notice? What stops me from placing a curse upon you similar to what I did to Captain Atom?" Wanda asked, staring at the man, wanting to hear his answer.
"We knew that you would likely find out, ma'am. Which is why we have obtained this for you" Savage said, as he reached into his suits inner pocket, pulling out a rather small book. But upon staring at the book, Wanda raised an eyebrow.
"Oh? You know, you truly know how to bribe someone" Wanda stared, as she realized it was a book written by the Lords of Chaos. She wondered how he got this out of them, but decided that it was likely the Lord that had taken Klarion's place.
She wondered who that was. She could have used her power to find that out, but again, that'd be boring.
"Will this make up for the situation we pushed upon you?" Savage asked, as he placed the book into her hands as she glanced up at him before smiling.
"Sure. But do this again, and you will not get out of it unscathed"

[Flashback End]
The book itself was advanced and genuinely very interesting. It was also far larger on the inside than on the outside, courtesy of some special manipulation.
The second visit was a bit shorter, and was more so about the people that met one another.

[Flashback 2]
"Wowie, I didn't know there was someone out there that ate as much as me!" Goku exclaimed with a grin, as he sat across from Luffy, who had his cheeks bulging from all the food stuffed in his mouth.
Chi Chi and Nami sat on the side, watching the two with a deadpan on each of their faces, realizing that they both had just met someone very similar to each other.
That was a bit concerning.
Gulping down the delicious food, Luffy grinned "I eat way more than you, old man!" Luffy said as he began to scarf down more of the bakery goods that Wanda had made for him. Goku's competitive nature reacted, as he began to consume foods at a rapid pace.
All the while Wanda just watched on the side, two of her favorite anime characters of all time sitting across from one another talking. It was like a dream come true to her old self, but now it was just...her life at this point.
She wondered what would happen if Naruto and Milim joined their eating competition.
________________________
[Flashback End]
They had joined the eating competition after hearing all the noise. And in the end, Luffy and Goku ended up trying, with Milim in third place and Naruto in last. Had it been ramen, Wanda was pretty certain her son would have crushed them all.
But finally, after a few days, Saitama had walked through the door, a stack of 5 books she has never seen in his hands, and well hidden hope shining in his eyes.
And upon seeing him, Wanda could only smile, one thought on her mind.
'This'll be a fun fight to watch!'
