The scene he found caught him by surprise. He'd expected, however unwittingly, to find something he knew how to take control of: some enemy to be subdued, either by Mjolnir or by a show of power. This, though - she knew a different Thor and he knew a different Scarlet Witch, but she was still Wanda. He was no stranger to magic, but neither was he any sorcerer. His only peaceful means of resolution might have had no effect on even the woman he knew, let alone this one.
"Wanda! What is the meaning of this?"

As Thor drew closer to her, she turned and frowned sadly. This was the opposite of everything Pietro wanted. She had helped him once before, but she could not transport foreign natures now. What could would a Stegosaurus do in this utopia turned battlefield? And what did Cyclops expect them to do? Go after their own flesh and blood?
Wanda addressed Thor, "I don't know, Pietro. I don't know. Father has finally lost his mind and Cyclops has deserted us. We are alone here."

He stepped toward Wanda and reached out to the winds through Mjolnir, but as he'd suspected, they were not so easily calmed. The mortals had all but fled, at least; that was something.
"Aye," he said gravely, lowering his hammer lest she decide he was threatening her; "there are no enemies here. Calm yourself, Wanda. Come down."

She blindly reached forward, wrapping her arms around Thor, and resting her head against his shoulder. Wanda spoke softly--a voice only ever heard before by her twin, "This was our home and now it's...nothing, but a crater. Trash. Maybe Father was right. Maybe we should let the Sentinels go."
