After a short discussion at Kamar-Taj, Wong came to a decision. As he addressed Peter, Tony, and Wanda, his tone carried a mix of politeness and sternness. "I appreciate your help in dealing with the Darkhold, but it's time for you to leave Kamar-Taj. It's in your best interests and ours."

Peter nodded in agreement. "Sure, we'll take our leave."

Wong's decision made it clear that the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj were wary of the intruders from another universe, and Peter understood their concerns.

But that wasn't all, they were also wary of Wanda, who was already corrupted and manipulated by one dark artifact. They didn't want her anywhere near their library or vaults, which safe-kept many other dark artifacts and books from the wrong hands. And Wanda just so happened to be the wrong hands in this scenario.

Returning to the Avengers tower, Anthony and Tom sat side by side on a plush couch, sulking like children who'd been reprimanded. They had been kicked out of the battle by Peter, who had called them "dead weight" and unceremoniously sent them through a portal. They were slightly offended but mostly disheartened.

When Peter and Wanda stepped through a portal, alongside Tony, they couldn't help but voice their grievances. Anthony was the first to speak up. "Dead weight, huh? I'll have you know that we defeated Thanos. You know? The guy who snapped half the universe away in a single second?"

Tom, with a more subdued demeanor, chimed in, "I mean, I've been doing this Spider-Man thing for a while. I'm not that useless... am I?"

Peter sighed, listening to their complaints in silence. When they finally ran out of steam, he looked at them with a hint of exasperation. "If you don't want to be dead weight, then you need to step up your game. What I saw back there was pitiful. You both have the potential to be great, but you need to work on your skills." He the turns to Anthony, "and you need to upgrade your suit."

Peter's words sent both Anthony and Tom back into a sulking mess once again. Peter had a point, but it was hard to swallow their pride and acknowledge their shortcomings.

Turning his attention to Wanda, Peter asked, "Is there anything you need to grab before we leave this universe?"

Wanda shook her head, her voice tinged with sorrow. "Everything I've ever treasured is either gone or never truly existed. And I can always buy new clothes and other essentials..."

Peter nodded and turned to Anthony and Tom. "It's time for us to leave..."

Although Peter had wounded their egos just moments earlier, they still considered him a friend and said their goodbyes with a mixture of gratitude and disappointment.

With goodbyes exchanged, Peter opened a shimmering portal back to Tom's room. Soon enough, they stepped through an unassuming closet that was, in fact, their multiverse-traveling ship. Wanda couldn't help but be astonished by the ship's interior, exclaiming, "It's bigger on the inside!"

Peter chuckled, and Tony chimed in, "Will you ever get tired of hearing that?"

Peter shrugged, "I haven't yet." He moved toward the control panel, a fusion of advanced technology and mystic arts, and hooked up his phone, opening the Spider-Verse Group Chat app before tapping the GPS icon. Instantly, an interface showing a partially mapped multiverse appeared.

The possibilities lay before them, numerous realms and universes unexplored. Peter, having charted two distinct MCU universes, both his own and the current one they were in, had a sense of where to go next. They would have to venture blindly into the multiverse, a prospect that excited and intrigued him and his passengers.

Ruining the moment, Peter stepped up and conjured a pair of scissors, clippers, a razor, and some shaving cream. "Well, are you ready to take her place?" He smirks as Wanda begins to realize what will happen next.

Wanda's eyes widened. "Can't we just use magic to make people think I'm bald?"

Tony stepped up beside Peter, matching his smirk completely. "How could you ask that? Where's your sincerity and respect for the dead?"

Peter nodded along beside him. "That's right! Do you think she liked going bald from all of her treatments? No, but she had to do it, and so do you..."

Wanda looked at their insufferable faces and felt the overwhelming urge to enact violence. "Fine..." But she held back and simply let go of her attachment to her long, luscious hair. If they wanted her bald, then she would oblige. After all, it was thanks to them that she was even here in the first place.

""Hehe"" Peter and Tony giggled like idiots as they surrounded her, buzzing, slicing, and shaving her hair with a mad glee.

The next day...

The sun cast a warm glow through the curtains of the small hospital room. It was a new day, one filled with hope and change. In this universe, life was unfolding in a way that had not been expected.

Wanda, who had taken the place of her deceased counterpart, sat patiently in her hospital bed with a renewed sense of purpose. With a contented smile, she looked around the room, marveling at the opportunity she's been given.

And finally, the moment she was waiting for had arrived. The door creaked open, and the two young children, her boys, entered the room. Their faces were a mix of anticipation and apprehension as they approached the hospital bed. One of them hesitantly called out, "Mom?"

Wanda's heart swelled with love as she held her arms out to them. "Come here, my darlings." Her voice was filled with warmth and tenderness.

The children rushed into her embrace, their tears flowing freely. They had experienced a world of pain and loss, and seeing their mother in a much healthier and vibrant state was a dream they had never dared to imagine.

Wanda held them close, her heart brimming with love and gratitude. The tears they shared were not tears of sorrow, but tears of joy and healing. They clung to her as if afraid she might disappear.

As the emotional reunion unfolded, the door to the room opened once more, and her doctor came walking in, a sense of astonishment in his eyes. He glanced at Wanda and then at the children, his voice laced with disbelief as he declared, "This morning's tests show zero cancer cells in your entire body... You're officially in remission."

The room seemed to hold its breath, the weight of the news settling in. Wanda's eyes welled up with tears as she looked at the doctor. "In remission? But I thought..." She played it off well, using her novice acting skills to the best of her ability.

The doctor nodded, understanding her confusion. "It's a miracle. We've never seen anything like it. But I must caution you, Wanda. Cancer is unpredictable, and it can come back. We should remain cautious and continue regular check-ups."

Wanda's children held onto her even tighter, their tears now a mix of joy and relief. One of them looked up at the doctor and said, "Thank you for making Mommy better."

The doctor smiled warmly at Wanda and her children. "I wish I could take credit for this, but it's something beyond our understanding. You should cherish this moment, Wanda."

Wanda's eyes were filled with gratitude as she nodded. "I will, Doctor. I'll cherish every moment of this." She said as she turned to the window, where she could see Peter and Tony stood atop the adjacent building, watching her. "Thank you..."

Peter and Tony nodded and gave her a wave goodbye before entering their ship, leaving Wanda to her happy ending.
