Every evening, it's the same horrifying nightmare... She would have the same wretched dream that she wishes to go away:

Flashes of every life she took came bombarding her view as she attempted to sleep:

'What mouth?' The Scarlet Witch said.

Black bolt freaks out as he tries to find the hole that would be his mouth. His hypersonic whisper is about to burst out to project itself towards the Scarlet Witch but the zone where his mouth should to has been sealed shut like it didn't exist at all.

The band of another Earth's 'mightiest' superheroes watches in horror as Black bolt's skull ruptures from inside his black mask - Turning his cranium into a bag of fleshy mush.

Mister Fantastic lunges his elastic arm towards the Scarlet Witch's possessed variant in an attempt to stop her but found it to be useless as the woman telepathically willed for the stretchable superhero to be ripped into shreds like strings of pasta.

'I could do this all day...' Captain Carter, the British-clad super soldier threw her adamantium shield toward the Scarlet Witch; the latter hurls it back with great force and propulsion causing Captain Carter not to catch it in time - Splitting the super soldier's body in half.

Then last is Captain Marvel, whom she crushes with the colossal statue of an android.

...

'Stay away from our Mom!' Yelled Billy and Tommy as they toss toys at her (The Scarlet Witch).

'Hey! Kids!" The Scarlet Witch restricts herself from hurting the boys. However, one object hit her hard in the cheek causing her to snap.

'Stop it!' The Scarlet Witch snarled at both Billy and Tommy.

That face... The look of dread on her sons' faces. She feels like that imagery will forever haunt her conscience for the rest of her life.

Her dream suddenly warped when she summoned a demon who took the unearthly crimson form of herself to twist Professor Xavier's neck - Instantly killing him.

The Scarlet Witch woke up from the dream. Cold sweat trickles down her face, her green eyes were wide and bloodshot, and her breathing; was unsteady and ragged.

She manages to rent... Hypnotized a clerk to get herself a free hotel room where she could sojourn for at least a week before she secures a proper place to stay in. The woman looks at the clock hanging on the wall, it's already 6:00 in the morning.

The Scarlet Witch parted the window's curtain and winced as the sunlight hit her face. She has dwelled inside the Wundagore's castle for too long that a benign ray of sunshine is enough to trickle through her eyes sensitively.

"Damn it!" The Scarlet Witch closes her eyelids and releases the curtain from her grasp to cover the window once more. The Scarlet Witch willed her conscious state to leave her body and aviated freely in the air.

The Scarlet Witch manages to keep her 'own' cognizance intact - While her astral form roams somewhere; she could stay inside the hotel room to watch everything outside.
