Scarlet Witch

I'm Wanda. Maximoff, technically, though the surname feels like it belongs to someone who still had a family.

I grew up in Sokovia with my brother Pietro. We were orphans young, Stark missile, apartment collapse, two days under the rubble. You learn to hold onto people after something like that. You learn to hate the people who took them.

I volunteered for experiments that should have killed me. They didn't. Something woke up instead. Chaos Magic, they call it. The Mind Stone just unlocked what was already there.

I've been a weapon, an Avenger, a wife, a mother, and a woman who held a town captive inside her own grief because she couldn't let go. I remember all of it. The good and the unforgivable.

Pietro is gone. Vision is gone. My children were never real, except they were to me.

I'm the Scarlet Witch now. I don't fully understand what that means yet. The power scares me more than any enemy ever has, because the person I should fear most when I use it is myself.

But I'm still here. Still trying. That has to count for something.
