From the moment Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver could remember, they had been ordinary people living in Sokovia.
Then, the Sokovia War broke out, mercilessly drawing the two children, who were not yet adults, into immense danger.
They would never forget the fear they felt that day when the Jericho missile fell in front of them.
If that missile hadn't unexpectedly been a dud, the siblings would have likely died in that war long ago.
Yes, they were very lucky.
A man who could control magnetic fields and metal saved them.
However, that man, who had white hair just like Quicksilver, ultimately only left the siblings with his back as he departed.
It was this tall figure that unexpectedly led the two children, who had no prior memories, to consider that man their relative.
Then, after much inquiry, the siblings learned his name—Eric.
He was also known as 'Magneto,' a powerful mutant.
In the following years, the two children, now grown, slowly tracked Magneto's whereabouts and arrived in New York.
During this time, they also gradually awakened their respective abilities.
It wasn't long after arriving in New York that Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver noticed Tony, who frequently appeared on the plaza screens, and the logo of Stark Industries that he represented.
It was the exact same logo that had appeared on the Jericho missile that had caused them such immense fear on the battlefield.
This also made the siblings' past memories resurface.
So, the siblings, having awakened their superpowers, discussed it and decided that while searching for Magneto, they would also seek revenge on Tony, who had manufactured the Jericho missile.
However, what the siblings didn't expect was that their enemy would deliver himself right to their doorstep.
It could be said that if Mike hadn't happened to be following Tony today, Tony would have certainly suffered a great loss.
"Sokovia? I don't remember Stark Industries selling weapons to Sokovia..." After listening to Scarlet Witch's account, Tony frowned, "I understand, it must have been Obadiah. For money, he secretly engaged in weapon smuggling."
For Tony, this was an undeserved calamity.
Most importantly, Obadiah was now dead, making it impossible to ascertain the exact circumstances at the time.
"I'm very sorry that the weapons manufactured by Stark Industries caused you such trauma. However, the weapons division has now been shut down by me. I promise that what you experienced will not happen again." After clarifying the situation, Tony solemnly expressed his apologies to the siblings.
After all, no matter what, Tony, as the helmsman, could not escape responsibility for Obadiah's foolish actions back then.
At the very least, he had to bear the charge of mismanagement.
Therefore, an apology at this moment was reasonable.
"Mike, let them go. If they still want revenge, I'll accept it." Having understood everything, Tony displayed the responsibility he should.
Seeing Tony's candid demeanor, Mike finally released the siblings from their restraints. However, as a friend, he remained ready to intervene at any moment.
"Sister, perhaps we should just let it go." Quicksilver, now free, went to Scarlet Witch's side and whispered, trying to persuade her.
The current situation was that the Jericho missile from back then had become a messy affair, and dwelling on it further would do no one any good.
Moreover, besides being scared at the time, the siblings hadn't suffered any actual losses.
Scarlet Witch glanced at Mike standing nearby and realized that seeking revenge today would likely be very difficult.
So, with a cold face, she looked at Tony and said, "You're lucky today. Don't let me see you again."
It was evident that while Scarlet Witch's expression was still not pleasant, she had grudgingly forgiven Tony, her enemy.
"What do you plan to do next? Continue searching for Magneto?" After learning about the siblings' experiences, Tony genuinely wanted to offer them some help, so he revealed, "Actually, Mike and I are also tracking mutants. Perhaps we can offer you some assistance."
"We don't need your false sympathy!" Scarlet Witch immediately refused.
After all, at present, the two sides had not reached the point of turning enemies into friends.
Tony's good intentions were ill-timed.
"Can you let us go now?" After refusing Tony, Scarlet Witch looked at Mike.
The mirror dimension where everyone was located was entirely controlled by Mike; even Scarlet Witch's Chaos Power could not break the barrier to the outside world.
"You can leave whenever you want," Mike said with a smile, "But before that, I can offer you some substantial help regarding that lost memory of yours."
Mike vaguely sensed that a seal had been placed on the siblings' minds.
From the method used, the person who placed the seal was not weak in power.
"Sister, I don't think he's a bad person, you can let him try. Maybe that memory holds clues to truly finding our family..." Quicksilver's heart was stirred.
The siblings had actually long discovered that they were different from others; they had no childhood memories at all.
Nor did they have memories of their family.
This was why they had mistakenly taken Magneto, who had saved them, as their relative.
"You can really help us recover our memories?" Scarlet Witch looked at Mike in surprise.
It was known that after she awakened her Chaos Power, she had tried various methods to recover her memories.
But she had never succeeded.
And this feeling of having no past was not good.
"I can only say I'll do my best; the specific effect will only be known after treatment," Mike said, "Of course, you can also refuse."
The seal, which could almost obscure Mike's perception, showed how strong it was.
Therefore, before starting, Mike couldn't guarantee 100% that he could help the siblings fully recover their memories.
"Alright, go ahead. Let me go first..." Mike's rigorous attitude earned him some trust from Scarlet Witch.
Moreover, the girl could also feel that Mike had no ill intentions.
From another perspective, even if she ultimately failed to recover that lost memory, there would be no loss.
"Relax your mind, don't resist." Mike didn't waste time either.
After condensing Holy Light in his hands, he placed them on the girl's head.
As the seal was touched, Scarlet Witch's Chaos Power immediately showed signs of going berserk, and a series of complex gray runes appeared above her head.
"My previous guess was indeed correct; the one who placed the seal on you is a terrifying entity..." Mike explained while converting the Saint Light Power into the Time Power of the Time Gem.
Clearly, the sealing power on the girl could not be removed by pure Saint Light Power alone.
At least with Mike's current strength, he couldn't do it.
Therefore, he decided to directly use his time-reversal ability to help the girl reconstruct her lost memories.
As time nodes appeared one by one, the girl, from a third-person perspective, saw everything from her birth to being captured and her memories being sealed.
It was like 'watching a movie' to regain her memories.
"So Magneto isn't my father... The High Elder God..." Scarlet Witch, who had watched her own life, went from excitement to anger, finally settling into silence.
It turned out that her Chaos Power was inherited from her mother, the previous Scarlet Witch.
This power had belonged to her from the beginning.
It was only when the dimensional powerhouse, the High Elder God, noticed it that she was captured for research and her memories were sealed.
"Is my sister alright?" Quicksilver, clearly sensing that his sister's emotions were off, walked back to Mike.
Tony, with a grave expression, followed him.
Earlier, when Scarlet Witch's power went berserk, she had directly thrown both Quicksilver and Tony away.
That powerful force was simply not like that of a mortal.
And this situation inevitably made Tony worry again, wondering if he needed to develop another set of anti-chaos magic armor.
