Evening.
Westview.
A Chinese restaurant on Food Street.
Levi was sitting by the window, eating spicy hot pot and occasionally looking out.
Although the autumn chill had covered the glass with a layer of frost, it did nothing to stop him from enjoying the sunset.
The sky was slightly bright and red, and the setting sun was gradually sinking below the horizon.
Not far away, the lake in the town park reflected the setting sun, its rippling surface sparkling brilliantly.
Facing the evening breeze, passing pedestrians enjoyed the brief comfort that came after work.
“It’s no wonder Vision chose to settle here.”
Over the past few months, Levi had seen this scene countless times.
After experiencing the afterglow of the sunset through three seasons, he had found that different weather and seasons gave people completely different feelings.
Maybe next year, it would become boring.
Just as he was looking out, a hand suddenly patted him on the shoulder.
“Hey, Levi, thanks for the rent.”
It was Josh.
Levi turned his head and looked at him, but the woman standing behind him immediately caught his attention.
She was a young woman with a kind-looking face, giving off the impression of a friendly neighbor.
But if one looked closely, the murky weariness and vicissitudes hidden in her eyes were strangely unsettling.
The woman was none other than Agatha Harkness!
One of the oldest witches on Earth, and one of the strongest!
From the Middle Ages to the modern era, she had traveled around the world under various identities, absorbing dark magic.
She had even taken the lives of countless people, all to obtain dark magic and increase her own strength.
“Oh, I forgot to introduce her.
She’s my Aunt Agnes.”
Josh noticed his landlord’s gaze and immediately slapped his forehead.
He stepped aside and smiled.
“Hello, I’m Levi.”
Levi only gave her a brief glance before looking away, a smile playing at the corner of his mouth.
“I heard Josh mention you on the way here.
He said you’re from China.
I thought you’d look like Jackie Chan.”
Agatha didn’t notice anything unusual and exchanged a few brief pleasantries with him.
After a while, Josh took her away.
The two of them had only stopped by to say hello and buy some Chinese food to take home.
It seemed Agatha wanted to try a new dish.
“Old witch, so there really is something going on.”
Levi watched the two of them walk away and sneered to himself.
But he had to admit.
Agatha’s ability to conceal herself was truly impressive.
She really was an old witch who had lived for hundreds of years, yet she had quietly inserted herself into Josh’s life as his seemingly unnecessary aunt.
And she hadn’t left behind a single flaw.
No wonder that in the series, even Scarlet Witch Wanda hadn’t noticed anything unusual and had allowed Agatha to lurk beside her the entire time.
It wasn’t until Agatha finally revealed her identity that Wanda belatedly realized that everything had been arranged by Agatha…
“Poor Josh.
He’s about to become a victim of the witches’ war.”
Levi shook his head.
In the Marvel Universe, the lives of ordinary people were the least valuable.
A single major battle could kill countless soldiers, let alone unarmed civilians.
…
Leaving the restaurant, Levi walked into the evening breeze, gentle gusts brushing against his face.
“Wanda?”
Not long after Levi walked out, he spotted a familiar figure among the crowds of couples.
Amid the bustling crowd, Wanda stood alone in the cold evening wind like someone abandoned in a forgotten corner.
Her expression was dazed and vacant, as if she had lost her soul.
She simply allowed the passing crowd to jostle against her.
“She’s emotionally unstable.”
Levi could feel the Chaos Magic within her becoming increasingly chaotic.
In fact, in WandaVision, the reason Wanda eventually did what she did was largely due to the influence of Chaos Magic.
After all, Chaos Magic was inherently connected to evil and demonic forces…
That was also why Agatha Harkness wanted to strip Wanda of her Chaos Magic—it was perfectly compatible with the Darkhold.
Thinking about this, Levi had already walked over to Wanda.
Pretending to be puzzled, he asked, “Wanda, don’t you want to go back?
The nightlife in Westview is about the same as in most places in America.
It’s not very exciting.”
Indeed, there were plenty of tourists in Westview, and the town was not small.
Many local thugs liked to commit crimes at night, robbing tourists or timid locals.
“I just came back from outside.
I was about to go home.”
Wanda wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, obviously not wanting an acquaintance to see her like this.
“It just so happens that we’re heading back the same way.”
Levi knew exactly how Wanda was feeling at the moment.
Seeing her pretend to be strong, he couldn’t help but feel pity for her.
At that moment, he suddenly remembered something.
It seemed that S.W.O.R.D.
had a base in a city near Westview!
And Wanda had left in such a hurry today, only to return with even stronger emotional fluctuations…
Obviously, she had gone to S.W.O.R.D.
headquarters that afternoon to look for Vision’s body.
As a traveler, Levi naturally knew that Vision’s body had been dismantled by S.W.O.R.D…
Wanda was already at the point where she could barely perceive Vision anymore, and her emotions were rapidly approaching complete collapse…
Levi thought about finding a way to calm Wanda down.
“Okay.”
Wanda glanced at the time, saw that it was already late, and nodded.
Just then, she turned her head and saw Levi wearing a sunny smile.
“Actually, it’s safer to go back with me.
Westview hasn’t been very peaceful lately.
People often block the roads and rob others.”
“Why?
You’re a man.”
Wanda made the remark politely.
“Because you’re an Avenger.
You have abilities that ordinary people don’t.
Come on, let’s see who can take on one of them.”
Seeing her response, Levi was relieved.
It seemed she wasn’t too unwilling to talk, which meant the situation wasn’t too bad.
“I’m just lucky.
My abilities haven’t brought me anything.
In the end, I still have nothing…”
When Wanda heard this, her expression grew even gloomier, and she sighed deeply.
Family, lover, friends…
In the end, she had nothing left.
Even Captain America, the only good thing she had ever had, had grown old and passed away a few months ago…
“No.
Someday, you’ll find something good in your life.”
Levi spoke slowly.
“Something good…”
Wanda was slightly taken aback when she heard this.
Something good…
all she had now was endless pain…
Unconsciously.
The two had already reached the dimly lit street.
When the community apartment was first built, its location had been relatively remote in order to provide a quiet living environment.
Suddenly, a sharp voice rang out from the alley ahead, followed by miserable cries and calls for help.
“Hand over all your valuables!
You’d better cooperate!”
“Fuck!
Get down!”
As soon as the fierce shouts ended, the heavy sound of something hitting the ground followed, and someone fell down with a painful groan.
“Looks like coming back with you was the right choice.”
Levi was stunned.
He looked at Wanda beside him and smiled.
“These robbers are really unlucky.”
