[3rd POV]
Deciding what universe to connect to was a bit of a difficult one, to be honest. There was so many interesting universes that she was very interested in, most of them being sci fi in nature, or being somewhat related to that.
She had a few universes in mind.
For one, the obvious. Mass Effect. She REALLY wanted to see what the reaction of the Citadel was going to be, and would absolutely love to mock the shit out of the Asari and the other arrogant members. Mostly because she would likely place the door on Earth, or somewhere in the Alliance until later.
That way the humans could get...something out of it.
The Alliance (the humans) were treated like absolute shit by most of the Citadel council members. They were treated as lesser simply because they were a younger species, ESPECIALLY by the Asari.
There was a reason why she was not fond of the Asari.
Beyond the manipulative nature of theirs and the way they looked down on...well, everyone that wasn't them. And even then, they still looked down on each other all the time.
Couldn't be healthy.
She was also interested in placing a door on the Quarian's Fleet, as she would like to help them out and get them a book that can help deal with their pitifully weak immune system that has caused their mess in the first place. Well, that and the Geth, but the Geth was their own fault for being dumbasses and not understanding AI.
They didn't realize that AI are in fact sentient, and can even develop souls. As souls are not just "Created" they are born, made, developed. Over time, and through a proper amount of work.
Like with the Geth.
The next universe she wanted to connect to, was Star Wars. The single most iconic sci fi universe of all time, bar none. There was just so much to do there, and so much to see. She would love to connect to the universe during the times of the Clone Wars, so that she can see young Ahsoka and Anakin. She'd love to help them both out a bit.
She wanted to learn about the Force and even gain some power over it if possible. As while she was certainly far more interested in magic and the like, she found the Force to be a VERY interesting power. It had a lot of use, effectively infinite, and she should be able to use it on levels beyond even the likes of Abeloth or her children.
Basically she would be the strongest force user in the Star Wars multiverse, besides the actual "God" of that multiverse. She wasn't sure what the entity was, but she knew it existed. So that thing was probably around the same level as the big guy in Marvel, so they'd be stronger than her.
She was getting closer to their level of power though.
Wanda also understood that the Force also had sub-types that were magic-like. Mostly used by the Nightsisters, which basically used "Force Sorcery" as it was dubbed. She wondered how it would work in combination with her own magic, and if it would mesh and fuse, allowing her to use the power to an entirely new level of power.
Besides Star Wars and Mass Effect, she had three other universes she wanted to eventually connect to.
The first of them was Destiny.
She liked the games quite a bit, and had played them when she was bored, extensively. She was particularly interested about his universe due to the paracausal nature of everything, and the existence of the Light and Darkness.
The power from the Light in that universe was truly immense, and basically made immortal godslayers that would keep getting stronger with every god that they killed. Well, at least for the Young Wolf, aka the character that the player plays.
The second was another very interesting universe. It was somewhat sci fi in nature, but it was also a dark universe where nobody really wins in the end. And pretty much everyone loses.
Worm.
She had read the series a few times before, and enjoyed it quite a lot. It was a bit rough around the edges in certain areas, but she loved the actual idea of it. She also had read quite a few fanfics of it in the past when she was bored.
The fanfics were really good.
For this universe in particular, she wouldn't really be much interested in power or anything, as there wasn't really any actually strong entities there, or powers. There were the Shards, sure, but she was not interested in them at all.
More than anything she wanted to connect to the universe just to interact with the characters, especially Taylor Hebert. The girl deserved some actual compassion and care, besides from her own father.
She knew that she had her friends in the Undersiders, but honestly? Wanda wasn't the biggest fan of a couple of their members. Mostly because of how manipulative Taylor's recruitment had been in the first place, and the way Lisa kind of just manipulated everyone around her.
Lisa had a rather interesting power though, allowing her to understand and comprehend things. Coming to conclusions about people and events. It was pretty strong if used properly.
She did not use it properly.
She also decided that it would be very amusing to fuck around with the PRT and other groups. Especially Cauldron. She was sure that that manipulative little group would faint if they ever found out about her. Especially Contessa.
But that was besides the point.
The other universe was actually not a sci fi one, but was instead fantasy.
Danmachi would be an excellent universe to connect to, and was one that she was actually interested in exploring in person for an extended period of time. Masquerading herself was a God would be laughably easy, and it could be fun to take in some people and build up a familia.
And then once she was done there, or got bored, she could just have a clone take over like with the Harry Potter universe and the Game of Thrones universe. Which were both going very well, from what she had seen last time she had checked.
Deciding that was hard though, as while she would absolutely be connecting to all of them at some point, she didn't want to do it all at the same time. Not immediately at least, maybe once she got them further down and finished.
While Wanda was contemplating what universe to connect to, Picard and the Doctor had finally been finishing up their conversation. They had been talking for quite a while at this point, and it was now time to finishing things up and buy whatever they may have come here for, and head on back.
Which is exactly what they ended up doing.
"We''ll see eachother again, my friends! Perhaps next week, same time? I would love to speak to the other members of your crew as well!" The Doctor said, having been told about Deanna, Riker, Tasha, La Forge, and the others that were of note.
"Hmmm, I suppose we will have to take you up on that offer, Doctor" Picard replied after a few moments, deciding to agree to the idea. There was still much that they wanted to learn from the ancient man.
And he wasn't about to let tha chance slip away.
"Great! See you then, Captain! And have a good day! Oh, and you as well Wanda!" The Doctor said, as he waved them a goodbye, gave an exaggerated bowe, and left the shop.
Picard soon gave a farewell, and left, leaving Wanda alone in the shop once more. While she decided to spend as some reading time, she still had quite a lot to learn after all.
And with that, the day soon came to an end.
All the while, Wanda had one thought on her mind.
'Man...this decision is a lot harder than I thought it would be'
