James waved, pulling them into the Mirror Dimension, streets twisting. Wanda glanced around, scarlet magic surging. "You know magic?"
"A bit," James said, gems flickering.
He sensed this Wanda was beyond movie-level—terrifyingly powerful. They clashed. Wanda's chaos magic tore the ground; James dodged, teleporting behind, aiming a palm to expel her soul. Slap! Wanda countered, magic erupting, forcing him back.
"I don't want to hurt you," James said, Mind Gem glowing. "Look."
Wanda saw another universe's her, happy with James, free of pain. Her attack paused, eyes wavering. "That's… me and you?"
"Yes," James nodded. "Create your own family, not darkness's."
Wanda's hands shook, the Darkhold clashing with her reason. Then—Screech!—her voice twisted. "You think illusions sway me?"
She tore open a multiversal rift. "I don't need pity!" She leapt in; James followed. "Wanda!"
They zipped through universes—crashing into seas, shattering buses (restored by James's gems), smashing floating islands, and a dark cosmos. Finally, they landed on scorched earth.
A battlefield: Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, another Hulk, X-Men, Fantastic Four, Blade, Ghost Rider. Facing them: Thanos's army, led by the Black Order. All froze, staring.
Wanda locked onto Vision, rushing forward. "Vision!"
This universe's Wanda blocked her, magic surging. "Stay back!"
"It's me!" Wanda pleaded. "Don't you know me?"
Vision eyed her warily. "You're not my Wanda."
Her heart broke. Thanos raised his blade. "Enough! Attack—"
"Shut up!" Wanda roared, scarlet magic shredding Thanos to dust.
Silence. Logan's cigar fell. "Hell."
Tony's faceplate opened. "Problem solved?"
James inhaled. "Wanda, stop letting darkness control you!"
"You know nothing!" she screamed, tearing another rift. "No one understands my pain!"
James followed. The heroes blinked. Steve scratched his head. "So, we won?"
Thor looked around. "Seems so."
Logan picked up his cigar. "No more fighting, at least."
Multiversal Rift
James chased, gems blazing, energy sweeping the void. "Wanda, how long will you run?"
Her scarlet figure flickered. "Until I find my world!"
They crashed into a ruined street. A roar echoed. "Hulk!!!"
A monstrous Hulk appeared—long hair, bulging muscles, eyes red with rage, far stronger than any before. Thor's broken hammer lay in cracked earth, lightning lingering. Hulk knelt, bloodied, ripping Thor's heart out, devouring it.
Crunch! The sound pierced the silence. Hulk turned, eyes locking on them.
Wanda reacted, but Hulk's fist shattered her shield, sending her flying. James caught her, punching Hulk. Boom! The clash leveled buildings. They fought from city's east to west, leaving rubble.
Wanda rose, chaos magic wavering, shocked. "Enough!" she muttered, tearing another rift. "I don't need this end!"
James disengaged, grabbing her. "Don't force my hand!"
They vanished. Hulk roared, shaking the trembling earth.
In the rift, James pressed. "Wanda, how long?"
"Until I find my world!" she cried, scarlet magic blazing.
