Wanda walked towards the cabin side by side with Nat as Ben held Daneel in his arms and followed beside Vision. When they reached the cabin Wanda and Nat went in with Daneel on their heels as Vision and Ben remained outside for a moment. 

"So did you manage to find much?" Ben asked the synthezoid. 

"Yes but we had to translate. He would have came for Wanda because she is destined to become the Scarlet Witch but you had prevented that by coming into her life when you did." Vision said as he expressed his gratitude to Ben. "But no with the offspring of the Scarlet Witch and the Avatar of the Great Khonshu, she has greater power than Wanda and he seeks it. He will stop at nothing to get it. He will kill thousands just to get to Daneel." 

"How do we stop him?" Ben asked him as he watched to synthezoid. Vision turned to look away over the lake ahead of them both. 

"We have to stop him with the power of the Scarlet Witch in his temple where he forged and created the Darkhold." He told Ben who just nodded. 

"So Wanda needs to go full on darkside in order for us to win this and save Daneel." He asked nervously because the two people that he loved the most were in danger. Meanwhile inside Wanda was preparing some drinks for Nat, Daneel and herself. 

"So how did you two meet?" Nat asked the younger witch who smiled at the thought of her fiance.

"Well he kind of stumbled here and we weren't entirely the biggest fan of each other but there was this pull between us. It's hard to explain." She told the assassin who listened intently. "It was like I didn't feel as empty anymore. Like he was what I needed all this time and then we both took the time out to get to know each other and then things just happened." Wanda finished as she gave the Nat and Daneel their drinks. 

"But I never would have expected you to have a kid." Nat said still shocked by everything. 

"She was kind of a surprise to us too but we wouldn't change it. This is my life now and I am actually happy for the first time in a long time. My family here make me happy." She told Nat who just smiled at the girl who was like her younger sister despite their history of the wiggly woos and Ultron. "But did you manage to find much on Chthon?" She asked the assassin who shifted on her feet.

"We need the Scarlet Witch to defeat him inside of his temple." Nat said as Wanda shook her head no. 

"I can't go back to that Nat. The Scarlet Witch is a being of chaos and destruction. And my life here is something I don't want to lose it." Wanda spoke shakily as Nat sighed guiltily for ever suggesting it not realising how much it hurt the younger one. 

"I'm sorry Wanda but it's the only way to save your daughter. He is coming for her and he will destroy cities, hell he'll destroy countries just to get her power." Nat told her as Wanda thought about it. She didn't want to do this, but she knew that she had to for her daughters safety. 

"I will have to get the Darkhold back off of Dr Strange." Wanda informed her as Ben and Vision walked inside. They both looked between the two women as Daneel was sat playing with her toys on the floor in front of the sofa. 

"Do we have a plan?" Ben asked as he walked up to Wanda and pressed a kiss to her forehead as she wrapped her arms around him.

"Not yet. Not a final plan." Wanda mumbled into Y/N's chest. 

"Vis and I are going to help you guys defeat this thing." Nat said as she approached them as Vision agreed. 

"We need Daneel to be safe. We need someone we can trust to protect her while we go to Wundergore and defeat Chthon." Ben said as he looked between the three of them. 

"I will protect her." Vision spoke up as Wanda looked at him endearingly. 

"Thank you Vis." Wanda spoke softly as Ben looked between his fiance and her former lover. He decided not to think much of it as the safety of his daughter was at stake. 

"So that's settled, then we need to get that damn book." Ben concluded before he walked back outside. Wanda watched him with confusion in her eyes, as Nat gave her hand a reassuring squeeze before following him outside. 

"You do know that we will protect her with everything we have." Nat informed him as he nodded as his gaze remained on the lake glistening in the sun.

"I know." He said sadly thinking of the time his dad couldn't protect his mum. "I just don't want to lose either of them. If she takes on the mantel of the Scarlet Witch, there might not be a Wanda coming back from it."

"How do you know that?" She asked him as he looked down at his hands on the rail.

"The darkhold holds immense power that will corrupt the reader. That is how Chthon wants it. That was why he predicted the Scarlet Witch. She will bring chaos to the universe." He told her as Nat nodded in thought. 

"Maybe that won't happen with Wanda, she has you and Daneel to fight for. She has the family she has always wanted since the moment I met her." She told him softly. "I have never seen her look at anyone the way she looks at you Ben. She loves you so damn much. She never looked at Vis the way she does you."

As they were all discussing about the plan, they hadn't realised that Hayward was flying out to their location with a group of sword agents. 

"We are flying into unpredictable territory. We don't know what to expect or how strong Wanda Maximoff has become since the Maximoff Anomaly. So please proceed with caution." Hayward spoke to the agents in the jet. 

"ETA 15 minutes sir." The pilot spoke.

"You guys know what to do. We shoot to kill. We must end Wanda Maximoff." He finished as they flew over the trees, disrupting the birds.
