The mischievous grin on Leo's face returned—someone was definitely about to have a bad day.
He sighed dramatically. "Ah, I don't know who the unlucky soul is this time… I'll mourn for you for three minutes. Amen."
After he and Android 18 finished tidying up the battlefield, they started heading home. The only evidence of the chaos left behind were the torn-up patches of grass and scorch marks—clear proof that the fight had been brutal.
"System, open my attribute panel."
Leo didn't bother teleporting home. Instead, he strolled down the road with a relaxed pace, Android 18 following quietly behind.

Leo nodded in satisfaction. "Nice. That's a long list of powers and a fat wallet of points. Not bad at all."
Closing the panel, he glanced at Android 18 again. Despite everything that had happened, she still looked composed, flawless as ever—like the battle had never even taken place.
"No. 18, do you have a real name?"
She shot him a half-annoyed, half-playful glare before answering in a soft, sweet tone. "My name's Lali."
"Lali, huh? Sounds nice."
It was simple, easy to remember—clearly a name assigned by the Destroyer System.
As they walked, Leo learned more about her fabricated background. She had no family, no friends, and lived alone in New York. Fresh out of university, unemployed. Every detail of her cover identity was perfect, seamlessly fitting her into this world.
Even someone with powerful telepathy—like Charles Xavier—wouldn't detect any trace of her artificial origin.
By the time they arrived home, Leo realized he'd forgotten his keys.
"Great. The mighty Leo, genius of chaos, locked out of his own house."
He refused to teleport inside—it would make him look guilty, like he was sneaking around. And as the man of the house, he had to keep up appearances.
He pressed the doorbell.
"Ding-dong! Ding-dong!"
From inside came Wanda's irritated voice. "Wait a second! I'm coming!"
Her tone carried the kind of danger that made even demons hesitate.
Creak.
The door opened.
Leo smiled awkwardly. "Hey, my love. What's going on? Is today… uh, special or something?"
"Special?" Wanda said with a dangerous smile. "Oh yes, we're celebrating something very special."
Her scarlet eyes shifted toward Android 18, scanning her from head to toe.
"Hello, I'm Wanda Maximoff. Nice to meet you," she said, voice calm but her expression clearly screaming Who is this little vixen?
Android 18 stepped forward gracefully. "Hello, Mrs. Wanda. I'm Master's maid. My name is Lali. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Her polite, warm tone completely threw Wanda off.
Wait, she's not here to cause trouble? Or is she just really good at acting innocent?
For a few seconds, Wanda stood frozen, blinking in confusion.
The Scarlet Witch—feared across universes—was no match for a pretty smile and good manners.
"Um… husband, is she the nanny you mentioned before?"
Leo blinked. He hadn't expected Wanda to be so easy to fool. Android 18 gave one soft smile and—boom—Wanda's defenses were gone.
Well, who was he to ruin a perfectly good misunderstanding?
"That's right," Leo said quickly, nodding. "She's Nanny Number One—here to take care of us."
Wanda's expression softened instantly. "Oh! I see, I must've misunderstood earlier."
She smiled warmly and stepped aside. "Come in, Lali. And please, don't call me Mrs. Wanda. We're about the same age—just call me Wanda, and I'll call you Lali."
Android 18 smiled sweetly. "Mmm, thank you, Wanda."
Leo watched as his new "maid" winked at him slyly—her look practically said, See, Master? You still need me to handle your women for you.
Soon, the two women were chatting like lifelong friends.
Cosmetics, clothes, jewelry, handbags—they jumped from topic to topic effortlessly.
Leo could only stand there, half amused, half terrified.
One's the Scarlet Witch. The other's an infinite-energy android. And somehow… they're bonding over makeup.
The Destroyer System's true power wasn't technology or magic—it was chaos.
