The wind lifted the hem of her red coat.
Wanda Maximoff slowly walked to the edge of the rooftop, her exquisite face utterly expressionless.
She gazed down at New York City, engulfed in flames and chaos, with eyes that had once been filled with confusion and pain.
Now, all that remained was an unruffled calm, and beneath it, a deeply concealed authority that made hearts tremble.
She did not even glance at the grotesque monsters rampaging through the city.

He even worried that she might lose control of her emotions and make an already terrible situation even more unmanageable.

At that moment, it was as though someone had pressed the mute button on the entire Earth.
Every sound-the wind, the explosions,
