[3rd POV]
"That is a rather simple question, Miss Maximoff. We would like all of the ones that are currently purchasable" Data responded to her question with a small smile on his face. He couldn't really show excitement, so he did his next best thing. He made a fake and honestly creepy smile.
Wanda saw his face, and looked at the others.
"Is he okay? Why does he look like he's constipated?" Wanda asked, as the crew behind Data fought back their laughs, while La Forge openly let out a snort. Amusement twinkled in the eyes of Picard and Riker.
"He is an android, Miss Maximoff. Did you not already know that?" Worf asked, confused.
"Oh I do know that. But I thought he would have gotten a smile down by now. Perhaps you should help train him in the art of a good smile? One that doesn't look so...eerie" Wanda suggested, finding the android to be a bit creepy when he smiled at her.
The android wasn't at fault or anything, as he didn't really know better. But the fact that nobody had decided to teach him how to control his smile to make it look at least somewhat realistic, and not so forced and plain weird looking.
"We've tried, believe me. But teaching someone who does not truly understand emotions, how to smile, is...not particularly easy. No offense to you, Data" Riker said, giving Data a small apology during this.
"None taken. I am not going to disagree with the facts that you have put forward. I indeed do not truly understand emotions, and I indeed cannot truly show emotions. I will endeavor to improve my smiles, in order to not make those around me uncomfortable" Data responded, not even remotely bothered.
Wanda didn't see how Data could even really get "uncomfortable". The man was an android, a rather "Plain" one. Androids of his make were not going to work the best when it comes to emotions, so it was only natural that he would have absolutely no clue what he was doing when it came to them.
Wanda just hoped that after she had pointed this out, his fellow crew mates would decide to truly help him improve his facial expressions and mannerisms. Wanda wanted them to at least get him to a decent enough level where he can talk to her and some other people without being immediately noticeable for the strange way that he acts.
If they trained him properly, he could even come off as just another human. That way things like infiltration and even just plain old communicating with others, would go far far far easier for their entire team. The man just was not very good at working with others.
Not because he was disagreeable or anything like that. But because he was just too strange for most people to get used to, or really interact with in general.
Wanda didn't mean anything by it or anything like that.
"Fair. But I do suggest you at least seek the aid of your fellow crew members, perhaps not just one or two of them? A big part about getting used to social interactions in general, is the fact that you have to get used to interacting with all sorts of people. People with different personalities, different emotions, and different mannerisms" Wanda suggested once more, as the crew nodded at her words.
They found that it was a good idea.
"Oh, speaking to things I suggest you do. You probably will want to come around in a few days time" Wanda said, remembering something that she very nearly forgot about. A rather important promise she made.
"Why?" Tasha asked with a furrowed eyebrow.
"Because that Timelord I spoke to you about? Well, I also told him about all of you. And he is very interested in meeting all of you. Particularly to see what differences there are in technology, history, and other things involving your two universes" Wanda responded, with the reaction once more causing La Forge and Data to light up.
Because who would not want to meet the man that belonged to the species that had managed to create a device that could generate infinite energy from a literal black hole paused at a single point in time. Not just any single point in time, but the moment that it was exploding.
Just a few words or suggestions from the Doctor, and they could learn about or develop entirely new sciences. Or at the very least he will almost certainly help them improve on what they already have, and probably not by a minimal amount whatsoever.
"We will make sure we are there, Miss Maximoff. And we will arrive around noon, to ensure that we can meet with the Timelord" Picard said, also excited at the prospect of meeting a member of the species that is so immensely far beyond them, but still somewhat peaceful.
"Does he have any companions we should be aware of before we meet him?" Deanna asked, as Wanda looked over at her with a raised eyebrow.
"He does, why do you wish to know?"
"Because they may be able to provide even further information about his universe. What species are they?"
"She is a human, from London. As far as I know she comes from the early 21st century, and will not really be able to tell you much. She is pretty new to the greater universe in general. But if you want to learn more about Earth from that time, I'm sure you'll be able to learn quite a bit" Wanda replied, as the others looked at her with surprise.
"That will certainly be a good conversation to have, Miss Maximoff. Learning about the past of another Earth and their differences could prove to be very helpful for our own future" Data said, agreeing that it would be good to learn about the past of human civilization.
Even if that past turns out to be dramatically different from their own.
"Well I'm sure she'll be coming around with him. Either way, he'll be here in a few days, and I do hope that you'll all be here to see them" Wanda said in response, as they all nodded.
It would be far too great of a learning experience to not go there.
"Great, now, here are your books" Wanda said, as she reached down and pulled out a bag.
"This is a pocket space book bag. Capable of holding tens of thousands of books - and only books - inside. You are welcome to attempt to study it, but I have placed...measures upon it so that only books can go inside. That way you can only use it for other things once you have truly learned how to create it" Wanda explained, as they all looked at the object with wide eyes.
"A pocket space?"
"Mmhmm, a form of special manipulation. It is advanced, and complicated, but you should theoretically be able to replicate it, given you train enough" Wanda replied with a swift nod.
"And this is simply being used as a...book bag? Truly?" La Forge asked with wide eyes under his visor.
"Of course. This entire place you are in is a pocket dimension, La Forge. And outside of this pocket dimension, is an entire pocket "Universe" that I have created. If you were to walk upstairs, you'd find entrances to over a hundred different dimensions inside. Making something like this is laughably easy for me" Wanda replied, waving off the man's shock.
It really was nothing to her. She could create billions of them in an instant like it was nothing.
They all stared at her in silence, not even going wide eyed or anything like that.
Instead, Riker just shook his head.
"You really are incredible, Miss Maximoff, you know that right?" Riker said, as she laughed.
"Oh I know, but so are all of you. You don't realize it yet, but you will in the coming years" Wanda replied with a mysterious smile on her face, making it pretty clear to them that she knew the future, or at least a part of it.
"...I'm assuming you will not be explaining what you mean by that?" Riker asked, as Wanda just smiled at them.
"Anything else? I sell sweets, bakery goods, and food" Wanda said, ignoring his question as they all glanced around.
They ended up ordering quite a lot of bakery foods for the entire crew. Which led to her making literal crates of food for them to take back. But it would all float, so they would easily be able to bring it out.
And soon, the group left, leaving Wanda alone once more.
Waiting for her next customers.
