Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Although Sera's original intention was to target Hawke.

Ultimately, Hawke in this timeline is resurrected by Wanda from her own timeline.

Wanda's original intention in reviving Hawk was not to allow Sierra to possess him.

Moreover, in order to successfully create Hawk, Sera did not impose as many restrictions as she did when creating the Eternals; as a result, the project to resurrect Hawk failed.

therefore--

The Wanda in this timeline is no different from Wanda except that she is neither Wanda herself nor an alternate version of Wanda.

Simply put.

Wanda, created by Sera, is free.

Freedom, from a certain perspective, means being uncontrollable.

So far, the Scarlet Witch created by the witch has always believed that she has resurrected Hawk, unaware that Hawk has now been replaced by Sera.

same.

Sera didn't dare tell the Scarlet Witch the truth, because he couldn't predict how the Scarlet Witch he had created would react once she knew the truth.

but!
Sera wouldn't dare, but someone else would.

Take Ajax for example.

After being captured and brought here by Icarus in the name of the Celestials, Ajak has been searching for a way to tell the Scarlet Witch the truth.

Although her supernatural abilities weren't in the area of ​​telepathy, she was still from the same school as the Scarlet Witch here.

They were all created by the Celestials, so even without telepathy, Ajax vaguely felt that he could contact the Scarlet Witch through this relationship.

So during this time, Ajax, using the excuse of being injured by Icarus, pretended to be seriously ill and dying while trying to contact the Scarlet Witch.

at last.

She made contact, but to prevent Sera from finding out, she only left one sentence in the Scarlet Witch's mind.

"If you want to know why your Hawk changed so much after being resurrected, then come find me in the Eagle's Nest."

"But you'd better not get found by your Hawke and his men."

"..."

As Cersei listened to Ajak's soft words revealing his secret plans over the past few days, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, then lowered her voice.

Will the Scarlet Witch believe it?

"She's already here."

Ajac responded to Cersei while watching the crimson aura rising ahead.

Cersei followed Ajax's gaze.

into the eye.

The machine soldiers, who were originally responsible for guarding this place and prohibiting any creatures except those permitted by Sera from entering, now ignored the Scarlet Witch who was walking towards them.

The crimson mist paved a path beneath the Scarlet Witch's feet, leading directly to the entrance of the cage where Ajak and Cersei were located.

The Scarlet Witch looked at Ajax and Cersei in the cage, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

after all……

This was the first time she had ever learned that two women were imprisoned beneath the Eagle's Nest, and that Hawke had never told her about these things.

Thinking of the words that woman had just left in his mind, he couldn't help but look at Ajax, who had relayed the message to him, and spoke in a cold voice.

"What do you want to tell me?"

"The Hawk you resurrected is no longer the Hawk you thought he was."

"laugh!"

The Scarlet Witch sneered.

Seeing this, Ajax remained calm and looked at the Scarlet Witch with composure: "The fact that you came here shows that you have already wavered, but you just don't want to believe it."

Upon hearing this, the Scarlet Witch remained silent, simply watching Ajax quietly.

It is clear.

Ajax had guessed her thoughts perfectly.

Actually, after she resurrected Hawke from her own timeline, Hawke said he was going to leave for a while. When she returned, she noticed that something seemed off about Hawke.

Although Hawke still looks like Hawke.

but……

She just felt something was off.

After Hawke was resurrected, he chose to restore Hydra's glory. Although she had some doubts, Hawke's reasons were barely convincing.

In Hawke's words, they had entrusted their fate to others, only to have those others change their fate and then turn a blind eye to it. Therefore, they could no longer entrust their fate to others, but instead had to take control of their own destiny.

Therefore, they need the world to submit to their will and operate according to their wishes.

But after that...

how to say.

Hawke became more and more of a stranger to her each day.

She had her doubts about whether the Hawk she had resurrected was truly Hawk, but the aura couldn't lie.

And now.

Ajax looked at the silent Scarlet Witch and, without hesitation, revealed the whole truth.

She wasn't the real Scarlet Witch, but merely a tool created by Sera, possessing all of the Scarlet Witch's memories and capable of simulating Scarlet Chaos magic.

She was created simply because Sera needed to create Hawk through her.

After she resurrected Hawk from her own timeline, Sera took his place and became her Hawk.

The reason why Sera is now hunting down extraordinary beings on a large scale is not because she wants to possess a real soul, so that she can seize the body of the real Hawk and inherit everything that the real Hawk has after killing him.

Ajax made no attempt to hide anything, and didn't even lower his voice.

As Ajax spoke, the Scarlet Witch's expression changed constantly. When Ajax finished speaking, the Scarlet Witch's gaze fell on Ajax's face, and her voice became somewhat hoarse.

"You're lying." "Whether I'm lying or not, why don't you go and verify it?"

"...How do you verify it?"

As soon as these words came out.

Ajax laughed.

When the Scarlet Witch said those words, it meant that she actually believed what she had just said.

As for needing evidence?
Ajax looked at the Scarlet Witch standing outside the cage and said with a smile, "You already have a way to verify it, don't you? It's just that you didn't have the courage or the desire to verify it before. Now, I'm just giving you a chance to verify it."

The Scarlet Witch stared intently at Ajax.

Ajax did not run away, meeting the Scarlet Witch's gaze.

after awhile.

As the crimson color faded, the Scarlet Witch abruptly disappeared from Ajax and Cersei's sight.

Cersei watched the Scarlet Witch disappear, then looked at Ajak and frowned, asking, "Could she defeat Sera?"

Ajax shrugged.

"do not know."

"That……"

"Didn't you say you believed in the Avengers?"

Ajax smiled at Cersei: "Even if this Scarlet Witch can't defeat Sera, she can at least make the Scarlet Witch stop believing in Sera. In that case, wouldn't you have one less enemy among the Avengers you trust?"

Upon hearing this, Cersei's expression suddenly became clear.

Meanwhile, Sera, now sporting Hawk's face, still stood atop her eagle's nest, looking down through the window at the ant-like pedestrians below, like a god.

Just then, a voice rang in his mind.

"Master, the Scarlet Witch is coming up."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Sera's eyes flickered slightly, and then she heard footsteps coming from behind.

The footsteps grew closer and closer, finally stopping beside him.

According to him, the tools he created were not qualified to stand with him or be on equal footing with him.

But he still needed this tool, so he could only suppress his discomfort and give the Scarlet Witch standing beside him a slight smile.

"coming."

"Ah."

The Scarlet Witch glanced sideways at Hawke, who was smiling at her, and smiled back. Then she looked down at the pedestrians: "I heard you've captured a lot more extraordinary beings?"

Sera nodded, repeating her usual line: "They would threaten us, and I don't want them to have another chance to destroy everything we have now. Therefore, it's best to strike first."

The Scarlet Witch pursed her lips and then looked at Sera.

"I don't know why, Hawke, but you feel a little unfamiliar to me now."

"what happened?"

Sera's expression revealed a perfectly timed hint of surprise and confusion, then she looked at the Scarlet Witch with a bewildered gaze: "Darling, I am still me."

The Scarlet Witch shook her head: "No, I have a feeling that your methods have become somewhat ruthless since your resurrection this time."

Sera laughed, then shrugged at the Scarlet Witch.

“I’ve never been a good person, that’s what you said. I’m just going back to my true nature.”

"..."

Upon hearing this, the Scarlet Witch's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, died completely.

The Scarlet Witch lowered her eyes.

Sera stared at the scene, slightly taken aback, and for some reason, felt a sense of unease.

next second.

The Scarlet Witch looked up, and this time, when she looked at 'Hawk' in front of her, the tenderness in her eyes had completely vanished.

"You really aren't Hawke anymore."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Sera was completely stunned, then burst into laughter.

But just as he was about to make excuses...

The Scarlet Witch spoke.

"Yes."

"Hawk is definitely not a good person. He has never been a good person. You could say he is a sophisticated egoist."

"He could join Hydra without even thinking, just to survive."

"He's even an adventurer. Even though he knows he'll die if he merges with the Mind Stone, he still shouts, 'A true man should die a glorious death if he can't live a glorious life.' He bets I'll help him."

"He always puts himself first in his heart."

"So he was never a good person."

"but!"

At this point, Scarlet Witch changed the subject, looked at the stranger in front of her with Hawk's face, and said in a deep voice, "Similarly, Hawk is also a hypocrite. Although he is not a good person, he doesn't mind pretending to be one, and he can make certain concessions for this pretense. He would never say that he is not a good person like you do, without being self-deprecating."

Speaking of it.

Chaos magic spread across the Scarlet Witch's body, and her eyes turned completely crimson.

"so--"

"who are you!"
