[3rd POV]
After the heartfelt talk with her family, explaining her past and the heartbreak that had been inflicted upon her in the past, the family had soon pulled apart from her, after she had finished softly crying in their arms.
That crying was thankfully born of happiness for the most part. For they had not looked down upon her because of her past actions, and didn't seem to care much that she had done that. Or if they had, it wasn't enough to just "throw" her away.
"Are you okay now, Mama?" Milim asked, looking up at Wanda in concern. They had all seen the tears that streaked out of her eyes moments ago, and were worried that she was sad. They had never seen her cry before, after all.
"I'm okay, honey. I was just really really happy" Wanda said in response with a soft smile, the redness of her eyes already disappearing after the crying session that she had a few moments ago.
"Okay, good!" Naruto said with an audible sigh of relief. He was worried that their mama was sad, and neither of them ever wanted to see Wanda sad...ever.
"What, did you think we'd leave you or something? We'd never leave you, Mama! Even over something like that!" Milim exclaimed, seemingly hurt that Wanda would even think that they would leave her over an action she had done so long ago.
Well, long ago to her standards.
"Yes, well, what I did was terrible, Milim. So it's only natural that you would want to not be around me anymore" Wanda responded simply, as it was the truth. Any normal person would want nothing to do with her once they found out she literally killed untold trillions of lives.
"Hmph! We'll never leave mama, so don't even think about trying to push us away!" Milim responded with an aggrieved huff, which only got a small chuckle out of Wanda and a warm smile from Raven.
The more Raven interacted with the children, the more Raven began to care for them. They were both adorable, kind, and pretty funny. Not to mention incredibly protective of Wanda, just like Raven was growing to be.
Although Raven knew that Wanda was more powerful than her, she still needed to be protected when it comes to emotions. And Raven was very good at reading people and their emotions, even Wanda's.
Wanda didn't really know that, but she probably did after this event.
"Alright, alright. I promise I won't try to push you away or anything like that" Wanda said as she raised her hands in surrender. Feeling a bit awkward at the glares of her children over the fact that she even thought they'd do something like that.
"When do you plan on going into that world?" Raven asked, deciding to move on to a new conversation, and an important one.
"...I've got no idea, to be honest. But I suppose within the next couple of weeks or so. I want to meet with Pietro a few more times to figure out more about what my other self is going through at the moment. And I would like to meet more of the heroes from that world soon as well" Wanda responded, not really sure when to do it to be honest.
"Can we go with you when you go there?" Naruto asked with a tilt of his head, interested in seeing a version of the world that his mama had lived in for so long. That and he wanted to visit another world for once, as the shop was fun, but not as fun as adventuring into other worlds would be.
"I'm not sure, Naruto. That world is incredibly dangerous, and the greater universe that that Earth is a part of is even worse. There are entities in that place that even I cannot just casually fight. And Earth is the epicenter of all the chaotic events that happen in that universe. Hell, it's the epicenter of chaotic events in every universe of that multiverse" Wanda responded, not really sure if that was a good idea or not.
She could deal with most beings, but it was beings like the Living Tribunal and the Beyonders that could be problematic for her to deal with. Sure, she could probably defeat them, but the after effects of that would be...a problem to say the least.
"Well if you're with us we'll be fine! Plus I'm super strong, so I can just beat up anyone that tries to hurt us!" Milim said with a confident grin on her face, certain that there would be no problem with them coming along with her to this new world.
"I'm also quite powerful, don't forget" Raven added, nodding along with Milim. She wasn't as strong as Wanda, but she was confident that she was strong enough to handle most threats. And at her peak she should be stronger than Milim...probably.
"...I'll have to think it over" Wanda responded after a few moments of thought. It was a genuinely important thing to think over. As it could potentially lead to them getting injured.
"Good enough I guess" Naruto said with a shrug, as Milim agreed. They wanted to complain, but they also knew that complaints would do absolutely nothing to persuade their mother. She was very very set in decisions once she made them, and it was impossible to change her mind.
"Now, how about we do something a bit less depressing?" Wanda suggested, as she looked at the tv with a small hum. The trio all looked at Wanda with gleams in their eyes and nodded, deciding to join her in watching some movies.
_____________________
A few days had passed since the heartfelt talk with her family, and Wanda's small breakdown in front of them. And during that time, she had been taking a mini break from all things having to do with her business.
Instead, she focused more on connecting with her family, and just enjoying her time with them.
Sure, she still opened the shop and had regular customers, but she didn't actually do much beyond that. And the only special customers she had during those days was the Doctor and Rose, who were seemingly close to the end of their journey with one another. As well as Annabeth who had come back to buy some more architecture books that she wanted to learn from.
Wanda was hoping that it would be Athena coming from that world, but sadly the woman had yet to obtain any blood from a Primordial. Which was...fair, considering how immensely powerful a primordial was, and obtaining blood from them was next to impossible.
Primoridals made the Greek gods look like bugs in comparison, their power being literally dozens of times more powerful than them. For they embodied the very concepts that the Gods were "Gods" of.
You can't beat the literal concept you are the God of, when they literally embody it.
Wanda had also hosted another book club that was quite fun, and Raven had even joined in with the older ladies and began to read one of the books that they were reading at the moment. It was fun to see her talk with the older woman about the romance in the books.
Even though she was quite openly lesbian. The old women loved to tease the two of them as it was pretty obvious that she and Wanda were together.
Wanda just loved it.
She loved being with Raven, and she loved the way their relationship was growing more and more as time progressed. And she could only hope that it would continue to go this way, and she had a feeling deep in her heart that it would.
And she liked to trust her feelings, considering how powerful she was and her ability to manipulate possibility.
Besides that, Wanda had checked back in on the Young Justice team again, and found that they had been progressing well in their mental health, and were pretty much completely back to normal now. But were still regularly meeting with their therapist.
It had gone so well that therapy was in talks of being required for even the League, as they found it had worked remarkably well for the kids.
But finally, after four days, Wanda decided it was time to check back in on her clones in the world of Harry Potter and Game of Thrones, as it had been a while since she had looked through their eyes.
So, as she sat behind her counter with a bored glint in her eyes, Wanda had only one thought in her mind.
'Let's see what my clones have been up to~'
