[Author Note: I missed a certain part of the chapter. I have included it and posted it again. Sorey for the inconvenience.]
Before anyone could react, Jean's eyes glowed brighter.
Wanda suddenly froze.
Her hands went to her head as her expression twisted in pain.
"What is happening?" Pietro shouted as he rushed toward her at incredible speed.
Wanda's body trembled violently.
"Get out of my head!" she screamed, her voice filled with pain and anger.
Jean did not move. Her gaze remained fixed on Wanda as she increased her telepathic power.
Invisible pressure pushed against Wanda's mind, breaking through her defenses bit by bit.
Pietro reached her and grabbed her shoulders.
"What is wrong? Talk to me!" he said urgently.
Wanda's scream grew louder.
"I said get out of my head!" she shouted again, but her voice began to weaken.
The red glow in her eyes flickered.
Jean's expression remained unchanged as she pushed further.
The protective magic around Wanda's mind began to crack. It could not withstand the overwhelming psychic force.
Slowly, Wanda's screams stopped.
Her body became still.
Pietro looked at her in confusion.
"Wanda?" he said, his voice filled with concern.
Wanda lowered her hands.
When she looked up, something had changed. Her eyes were no longer glowing crimson. They now burned with an orangish red light.
She turned her head slowly toward the mutants standing nearby.
There was no hesitation in her movement.
Without a word, she raised her hand. Then she attacked.
Kakashi's eye widened as he realized what had just happened.
'Jean has taken control of her,' he thought, his expression turning serious. The situation had just become far worse than before.
Wanda's eyes glowed as she launched a beam of energy at the Brotherhood mutants who did not know what to do.
They were blasted back by the energy. The red beam cut through the air. It struck the first group of Brotherhood members standing near the front. The force was so strong that it lifted them off their feet and threw them backward like rag dolls.
Some groaned in pain. Others tried to stand but fell again. The rest of the Brotherhood looked at Erik. He was Wanda's father as well as their leader. They did not want to hurt their leader's daughter. They stood frozen for a moment. Some lowered their hands.
Others looked confused. They had come to fight for mutants. Not against one of their own. Especially not against the daughter of Magneto.
Erik looked at Charles. "Do something Charles. Snap her out of it."
"I am trying Erik but Jean's energy is protecting her mind. I am being blocked from her mind," Charles replied back as he sweated.
Meanwhile, Jean was kept busy with the X-Men and Avengers.
Hulk roared as he jumped towards Jean. Jean took hold of him but it seemed that just like Jean, Hulk as the fight went by became more angrier and Jean had to use more power to use telekinesis on him.
But she was still much stronger than him and thus she swatted him away. The green giant flew through the air like a missile. He crashed into a crate. Hulk pushed himself up immediately.
And he charged again. Jean raised her hand. Invisible force slammed into him mid-leap. Hulk pushed against it. His muscles bulged. Veins stood out on his neck. He roared louder. Jean's eyes glowed brighter. She pushed harder. The force increased.
Hulk was forced back step by step. His feet dug deep trenches in the concrete. The two titans struggled against each other. One with raw physical power. The other with psychic might.
Neither gave an inch at first. But Jean's power kept growing. She finally swatted him away with a stronger blast. Hulk flew even farther this time. He landed hard. He got up slower. Shaking his head but still angry.
Iceman blasted waves of ice at Jean. Thick walls of frost rose to trap her. Jean waved her hand. The ice shattered into millions of pieces.
The shards flew back at Bobby. He barely managed to create a shield in time. Cyclops fired his optic blasts. Jean deflected them with a casual flick. The beams scattered harmlessly into the sky.
Logan charged in. He leaped at her. Jean caught him mid-air with her telekinesis. She slammed him into the ground. Logan grunted in pain but his healing factor kicked in. The X-Men fought hard. They tried to reach her. To talk to her. To stop her without killing her.
But Jean's power kept pushing them back. She floated above them. Fire wings burning and eyes glowing. She looked like something more than human now. Something ancient and dangerous.
Meanwhile Wanda was rampaging as she used her reality altering powers to completely annihilate the Brotherhood mutants. She raised her hands. Red energy swirled around her.
The ground beneath a group of Brotherhood members turned into iron spears and were impaled by them.
One mutant tried to shoot energy blasts at her. Wanda changed the air around him. He was trapped in a bubble without oxygen as he died with suffocation.
Another tried to run. Wanda made the ground open beneath him. A deep pit swallowed him. She closed it again. The screams stopped suddenly.
The Brotherhood was falling apart in front of her. Some tried to surrender. Wanda did not stop.
Pietro who was blasted back earlier ran towards Wanda with tears in his eyes. "Snap out of it sis."
Wanda waved a hand as the ground turned into mud as Pietro felt sinking into it.
"There is no other choice," Kakashi made his mind. He knew that he would have to deal with Wanda before she does further harm.
He created three shadow clones and all of them rushed at Wanda from three sides. Wanda managed to use her magic to deal with two but the last one managed to get a hold of her.
The real Kakashi appeared next to her in an instant with lightning covering his hands. "Lightning Blade."
He smashed it through her chest.
Or at least he tried as someone appeared in front of Wanda to take the hit.
Pietro stood in front of Wanda to the horror of Kakashi and everyone else. Blood leaked from both his mouth and chest. "Sorry bud. But she is still my sis and I can't have my nephews without their mom. It was fun meeting you and… from what I know of you, you would be taking this to the heart. You are not responsible for this. Jean is or whatever power is controlling her. I made my choice."
Pietro coughed. Blood came up. He smiled weakly. "You know… for a guy who hides his face, you have a good heart. I saw it when you taught me. When you trained the kids. When you tried to talk instead of just killing. I liked that about you. Made me think maybe not everyone is out to get us. So… do me a favor. Don't blame yourself. This was my call. My speed finally came in handy for something important. Tell Wanda… tell her I said she needs to be there for Billy and Tommy. They need their mom. Not a grave. And tell the others… I was the fastest. Always was."
He laughed a little. It turned into a cough. More blood. "And Kakashi… if you ever write a book about this, make sure I look cool. Not like I got stabbed by my new friend. That would be embarrassing. It would be bad for my legend."
Pietro's eyes started to close. His body grew heavy in Kakashi's arms. "Take care of them… okay? And… thanks for being a friend even if it was not for a very long time."
"And sis snap out of it will ya? My nephews are waiting for their mom. So snap out of it for Billy and Tommy," Pietro said as he turned towards Wanda and then finally closed his eyes.
