Marvel: Psychiatrist

Chapter 39: Wanda's terrifying fighting power! Wanda's popularity soars! [Extra Chapter]

---

Watching the news broadcast, Lorien saw the coverage of the recent Avengers mission. It was both expected and a bit surprising.

He anticipated it because he knew the event was crucial. In the original storyline, this was where Wanda, the Scarlet Witch, accidentally caused significant collateral damage, injuring civilians and Wakandans alike. The incident was so severe that it triggered the Sokovia Accords.

But now, things were different.

This time, the incident had been resolved perfectly! And the hero who made it happen was none other than Wanda herself.

The TV excerpt showed Wanda in action. Her expression was cold and focused, like an ice queen. She moved her hands with grace, and the enemy's jeeps and trucks were pinned to the ground in an instant. Then, with a powerful gesture, she sent the vehicles flying.

The clip cut off there, but it was clear what followed. The enemies must have been in dire straits. Wanda's chaos magic grip was formidable, capable of crushing anything in its path.

Lorien nodded with satisfaction. Wanda had grown significantly. She had evolved from someone hesitant to use her powers into a formidable, cold Scarlet Goddess in her public persona. Yet, this was just one side of her—her professional front.

Wanda was, indeed, fascinating.

Meanwhile, on the ground in Lagos, the Avengers were regrouping and preparing to evacuate after successfully dismantling the Crossbones operation.

Captain America reviewed the report, nodding with approval. "Everyone did a fantastic job. All the weapons have been recovered and are ready for destruction. You're all superheroes, truly exceptional."

Applause filled the area.

Wanda, standing a bit apart, gazed towards New York, lost in her thoughts.

When the applause died down, she turned to Captain America and asked calmly, "When are we heading back?"

The scene fell silent, filled with respect for Wanda's display of power. Just moments ago, she had demonstrated incredible strength—crushing a jeep with one hand and a truck with the other. Her destructive capability had left everyone wondering if she now surpassed even the Hulk, who was missing.

Captain America, smiling as he held the report, replied, "We should be able to head back this evening, Wanda."

Wanda nodded, then walked over to a bench to rest. She picked up a world map lying nearby and traced a line from their location back to New York. Thousands of kilometers away…

Wanda sighed inwardly. She longed to learn the teleportation magic Lorien had mentioned. If only she could master it now, she could return to New York immediately and be with him. But that skill was beyond her reach at the moment. She had to wait until nightfall to go back.

"Wanda," Natasha called out, approaching from the side. She handed Wanda a tissue. "There's a drop of blood on your face. You should wipe it off."

Taking the tissue, Wanda picked up a piece of broken glass about the size of her palm. She saw a drop of blood under her left cheek, trailing down her face. However, instead of detracting from her appearance, the blood made her look even more striking, like a vampire queen with a hint of scarlet allure.

Snap!

A war reporter in the distance captured the moment. The Avengers had arranged for this reporter, ensuring that all photos and footage would be reviewed before being released. The dramatic photo of Wanda wiping blood with a piece of glass would likely become iconic, as long as she didn't object.

On the battlefield, Wanda had been the most photographed hero. Her powerful, mesmerizing actions had been captured perfectly.

Back in New York, at Stark Tower, Tony Stark received news of their success.

"Sir, here is the information," Friday reported after sorting through the data.

Tony couldn't help but chuckle as he reviewed the details. "So, they were dealing with enemies that Scarlet Witch could handle. But did they consider the consequences of resolving the crisis with force? What do the locals think about their homes being destroyed?"

He casually waved the digital material into the recycling bin.

But Friday wasn't done. "Sir, while the Avengers may face some criticism and opposition, Scarlet Witch's popularity is skyrocketing."

"In the United States, many citizens are suggesting that Scarlet Witch should leave the Avengers and become a free superhero. Her popularity is now closely trailing behind yours and Captain America's."

"If this trend continues, it's expected that within 1-3 years, she could surpass both of you in popularity."

Tony was taken aback. "Huh?!"
