?The month that Alex and Wanda spent together passed in the blink of an eye, literally. Only a second had passed outside the domain of time that he'd created for himself and Wanda.

Both he and Wanda were positively exhausted after spending an entire month doing nothing but fucking which was followed by comfortable cuddling and even more fucking after that. One good thing that came out of it was the level four bond.

Not a lot had changed for Wanda since although the Skeleton Bond allowed Alex to have much more intricate control over the body and everything, Wanda wasn't a physical fighter. She and Alex hadn't trained while focusing on her physique ever since Wanda separated from Natasha. Her physique was still at the Peak Superhuman grade, however almost touching the Low Cosmic threshold.

Alex had kept the Bonding Rate capped at 70% with her since he was still not confident about what would happen if he experienced ?True Merge? with Wanda at 75%. Although he knew that the effects wouldn't be adverse like they were with Scientist Gwen, he was cautious and even a little apprehensive about the state. He had decided that once he himself had reached the level of bonding on a spiritual level with the girls, he would let the 75% mark hit and see what the deal with the ?True Merge? ability was.

As for Alex, he'd gained significant benefits from the bond, but none of it was very quantifiable. The only quantifiable change was that he'd consumed 1138 more EP during the process. 720 to keep the domain up for the month and the rest went to Wanda to supplement the Skeleton Bond.

The magical abilities that were all gained from Wanda didn't get enough of a boost to be increased to another grade, but their thresholds had increased by a significant margin. He could use quite a few of the more complicated Mystic Arts spells without any issues by siphoning Eldritch Energy from Wanda. It was the same with Chaos Magic. While not at Wanda's level, he had gotten much more efficient with his use of certain energy-consuming spells from Wanda's repertoire.

As Alex was still comfortably cuddled up with Wanda, he felt her sling ring that was inside his inventory releasing a signal.

He groaned a little, "You're needed at Kamar Taj…"

Wanda's following groan expressed that she was much more annoyed, "I don't care, they can go fuck themselves." She grabbed the cover and pulled it up over herself while nestling herself in Alex's arm that she was using as her pillow, "I'm sleepy."

"Well you can use your magic to make them do that when you go there," Alex said as he gently caressed her hair, "But you need to go there. It's an important situation, sadly."

"You know what's going on, don't you?" She asked tiredly as she turned to her front and slowly sat up. It made the covers slip off, revealing her milky white breasts that were free from the marks that Alex had inflicted on them over the month.

"Tony, Nat, and Steve are also there with Wong and Strange. They need to talk to you. It's about what happened at Wundagore." Alex said as he appreciated the view that she provided him.

"Fine, whatever," She said, "Tell me what happened while I get dressed…" She annoyedly got out of bed and walked toward the closet to grab an outfit for herself.

"I can just…" Alex trailed off after realizing that she didn't want him to help her dress.

"They're calling me in my free time. The least they can do is to wait till I get dressed." Wanda huffed as she set her clothes on the bed. She'd decided to wear a white top along with a red cardigan and murky red leather pants. Her wardrobe was dominantly filled with red considering whenever she went out with Alex for a shopping date, most of what she bought was red.

Alex chuckled at her petty act and explained what had happened at Wundagore and how Strange got himself corrupted by the lingering will of Cthon's avatar demon, Chthon.

…

Steve and Natasha were patiently sitting in the waiting room along with Tony who kept pacing back and forth while looking around the room.

"Can you stop?" Steve asked.

"Hey, I'm disconnected from Friday's main server, I need to scout out ways to escape in case things go south," Tony said.

"You aren't a wizard," Natasha told Tony, "You can't even see their protections… And Wanda will be here sooner or later."

"That calms me down just right," Tony said sarcastically.

"You shouldn't have put her under house arrest for no reason then," Steve said, "She would obviously not be very fond of you for it."

As the not-so-friendly banter continued, a familiar portal opened up in the room. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝘤ℴ𝑚

From it, Wanda walked out with a subtle lazy expression on her face, "Hi Nat," She smiled and walked up to Natasha before giving her a light hug.

"Hi…" Nat instinctively hugged her back with a confused smile on her face.

"How've you been?" Wanda asked.

"Just fine," Nat answered with a little smile, "Aren't you surprised to see us here?"

"I already sensed you guys being here. However, I do need to ask Wong and Strange what's going on." She said before moving ahead, not letting Nat ask any further questions from her.

[Didn't you tell her?] Nat asked Alex, thinking that Wanda was telling the truth.

[You're aware that I could've told her, but what about the others? She has to pretend.] Alex said and Nat didn't need any more explanation in that case, [I'm impressed, I couldn't even tell that she was lying …] She thought to herself.

"Steve," Wanda walked up to Steve and gave him a side hug in greeting.

"You've been up to quite a few things lately, huh?" Steve said.

"I've been busy," She smiled before turning to Tony, "Stark." She gave him an impassive look, but the undertone of annoyance in her voice was clear.

"Wanda," Tony nodded, "You've been busy… Learning magic and stuff." Seeing Wanda's continued silent glare at him, Tony knew what she wanted, "I'm sorry, okay? I put you up for house arrest unfairly, but it was the best move at the time to calm down the government's rats on my ass."

"It doesn't matter anymore," She said. That was when they heard footsteps and Wanda saw Wong entering in the room.

"You're here, Ms. Maximoff," He said.

"How are you, Mr. Just Wong?" Wanda asked with a laugh as she gave the man a light side hug.

"I'm doing just fine, thanks for asking," He said, "I apologize for the abrupt call."

"I cursed you enough when I was forced to get out of bed because of the call," Wanda laughed as Wong stiffened up.

"I hope those curses were the non-magical kind…" He said, "I'd hate to be subject to the curses that you subjected your first trainer to..."

Wanda couldn't help but let out an amused laugh, "That was a fun time. And no, I didn't truly curse you. In the first place, if I was going to curse anyone for this, it would be the Sorcerer Supreme ."

"Strange can be a bit much at times," Wong nodded in understanding, "Speaking of Strange, I need a favor." Wong's tone took a solemn turn.

"Oh," Wanda raised her brows in surprise as if this was the first she'd heard of this, "Sure," She nodded, "As long as you don't ask me to rebuild all three sanctums, I don't think there should be too much of a problem."

Wong had to cough to prevent himself from chuckling. Strange had put Wanda up to make a huge sanctum for no reason at all to keep her busy and prevent her from trying to access the more dangerous tomes of knowledge about the Mystic Arts. It included The Ancient One's personal collection and some other books that had dangerous spells and rituals.

"That's not the issue…" Wong said, "Strange has been…So to say, possessed by a lingering influence…" Wong said.

"And you need me to help get rid of that influence?" She asked, "Why do you think I can even do that? I'm not nearly as good as you or Strange when it comes to Mystic Arts."

"The situation with Strange is more in line with your domain," Wong said, "I should first explain why your friends are here."

Wanda nodded with a slight frown as Wong created a magic circle to show her the scene of a snowy mountain range, "Deep in the Transian mountains, there exists a special mountain with its history etched deep in the annals of the planet." He zoomed into the range and focused on a specific mountain that housed the remnants of a historically grand structure, "Mount Wundagore. It is one of the few areas that are considered forbidden by the Sorcerers who practice the Mystic Arts."

"We previously believed this place to be the tomb of the First Demon, Chthon." Wong then zoomed into the structure so that Wanda could get a better look at it, "Strange noticed the tome releasing its energy like some sort of a beacon and we went there to investigate. The details aren't that significant, but ultimately, Strange was possessed by the lingering will of that demon and turned on us. You might be the only option that we have."

Wanda went into her thoughts for a moment, "…You said that you previously believed the place to be a tomb. What did you mean by that?" She asked him.

Wong hesitated for a moment before answering, "That was the information compiled within the ancient records of Kamar Taj. But when we entered the tomb, it was more of a…a throne. A throne to welcome its owner, the Scarlet Witch."
