Chapter Sixty - Scarlet Witch: Rage in Grief’s Clothing

CHAPTER SIXTY

Scarlet Witch: Rage in Grief’s Clothing

THEY CALL HER unstable.

Too emotional. Too dangerous. Too much.

But they never ask why.

Wanda Maximoff wasn’t born with peace. She was born in a war zone. Her childhood was shattered by a Stark missile that didn’t go off and she stared at that metal shell for two days straight, waiting to die. That’s how her story began.

And it didn’t get better.

She lost her parents. She lost her brother. She lost her country. Then they told her that her powers came from a lie. That her love was synthetic. That her children weren’t real.

So when she breaks?

Of course she did.

She’s not a villain. She’s a grieving woman with godlike power. That’s what scares people. Not her magic, but the reason she uses it. She bends reality because reality betrayed her. She rewrites the world because the one she got was written in blood and cruelty.

And when she makes a mistake, they don’t forgive her.

Because she’s a woman.
Because she’s powerful.
Because she’s not convenient.

They don’t fear her chaos.
They fear that she stopped apologizing for it.

Wanda doesn’t want control.
She wants relief.

A world where she’s not always the one left holding a corpse. A world where she gets to be loved without punishment. A world where she can finally breathe without someone dying.

But grief doesn’t play fair.
And magic doesn’t give refunds.

She didn’t lose control. She lost everything. And the line between love and destruction is razor-thin when your heart beats louder than the universe.

So call her a witch. Call her a threat.

But understand this. If you had her power and her pain, you might burn the world too.
