Ooh, thank you very much! I love what you did with the prompt; the echos were very haunting, especially the echo of Jennifer loosing control (that page always seemed especially disturbing to me).

The idea that Wanda killed Scott because he had Cassie is very powerful and sad. Poor Wanda and Cassie, having to face each other after that. I really love how steadfast Wanda is in facing the past, and I love that Steve is with her. Also, it's really heartwarming that the last echo seems to be of her originally joining the Avengers. That's fantastic.

I am so glad you like it! :D That's a load off my shoulders! LOL

And thank you for the excellent prompt! The idea of Wanda seeing all those events came very clearly to me the moment I read it! :)

I'm holding out hope that Wanda will come back and redeem herself in canon, so I had to give her that same chance here. :)

Thanks Sam! :) She is definitely the one to keep an eye on, that's for sure. There is a lot of story potential in all that tragedy and madness, but I think Wanda lends herself to redemption very well. Here's hoping Marvel agrees with me. :)

More important than asking for redemption is the willingness to shoulder the responsibilities that come with it. You did a great job showing that here.

I could not agree more if I tried! Thank you so much. :)
