"Aunt Wanda! Aunt Wanda! Over here!!!" A child's innocent voice echoed in the chaotic Dark Space. Franklin jumped out of the teleportation portal and grabbed Wanda's arm, trying to pull her back. But Wanda seemed to be disturbed by something, shaking her head and retreating, calling out the names of Jarvis and her two sons.
"Billy, Thomas, come check on your mother!" Franklin shouted towards the teleportation portal, somewhat anxious, "She seems to be having a nightmare, wake her up quickly, we must leave here soon, otherwise that big guy will come, and that'll be trouble!"
Billy and his brother rushed out of the teleportation portal. Billy focused, suddenly seeing the nightmare scenes in Wanda's mind. In her nightmare, all the happiness she currently had was fake, nothing more than an illusion created by the power of Scarlet. When the illusion broke, she was all alone, with nothing left.
"Mom! We really exist, we're not fake! Wake up quickly, we have to get out of here!!"
"This won't work," Thomas said, "Let me try! Mom!! Someone's hitting us!! Help!!!"
Maybe he screamed too miserably because Wanda suddenly snapped awake, almost with fire in her eyes, shouting, "Who? Who's hitting my son?!"
"Oh, thank goodness you're awake. Let's go!" Billy shouted anxiously, "This place has already become a Nightmare Domain. If we don't leave now, we'll be devoured by nightmares!"
Wanda was initially a bit dazed, but soon remembered what she was doing, and then she anxiously said, "No, your grandpa, uncle, and aunt are still here! Quickly, find them!"
"Uncle has already returned to Battleworld," Billy said, "He couldn't withstand the explosion and had already sent us a message before. Grandpa should be ahead, let's go find him."
"And your aunt! Where's Polaris? Have you seen her?"
The two brothers exchanged glances, both shaking their heads. But soon Franklin came over and said, "Hurry, there's still someone alive over here, seems to be from the neighboring universe."
"Should we save him?"
"Let's save first, then talk. Those devoured by nightmares also add to that guy's strength, saving one is saving."
Wanda quickly flew over in the direction he pointed and saw the Arkham Knight lying quietly in the darkness, furrowed brow, seemingly having a nightmare too, scratching one side of his face until it was almost flesh and blood.
Wanda hurriedly pressed down his hand, slapping him awake. As soon as the Arkham Knight awoke, he shouted, "No! Shiller!!"
"What?" Wanda was very surprised.
The Arkham Knight took a deep breath, and quickly realized what was happening. He coughed a few times, reached for the energy device on his back, and said, "Your sister."
Wanda took the energy device, slightly dazed, then quickly heard Polaris's voice, she said, "I'm not dead, but I'm almost out of power. Magneto is over there."
Wanda helped the Arkham Knight up and quickly flew in the direction he pointed. Sure enough, Erik was lying over there. He also seemed to be deep in a nightmare, muttering words like "coal ash," "newspaper," and the like. Wanda knew immediately that he must be dreaming of the concentration camp life, as Erik was responsible for shoveling coal ash during his time there.
She hurriedly woke Erik up. Once Erik was awake, he quickly regained his memory. Wanda looked at Franklin and said, "How do we leave?"
"Use the teleportation portal," Franklin said, "You go on first, I still have to search the area to see if there are any survivors. That guy will gain all the abilities of those swallowed by the Nightmare Domain if a few Omega-Level Mutants die inside, there will be no way to fight it."
"No, you're too young, I have to stay and keep you company," Wanda said.
Franklin shook his head and said, "Your power of Scarlet and his strength are at most equal, and you can't open the teleportation portal. I'm using the source Power of Creation, that's why I can pass through smoothly. If we get separated, that would be troublesome. Go quickly, Auntie!"
Wanda resolutely refused to leave, her reasons were sufficient, arguing even as Franklin is not yet three years old, leaving such a small child on the battlefield was absolutely out of the question.
"You said anyway, at most my and his strength are equal, even if he devours me, he'll just have a bit more energy; I can still be revived in Battleworld. No more talking, quickly go save people."
Franklin couldn't argue with her, so he had to search the surroundings with her. They really did save a few mutants, including an Iceman from who knows which universe and a White Queen in her crystal state. Both of these people managed to survive by transforming their life forms, but they were obviously trapped in a nightmare, and waking them took some effort.
After circling around and seeing no one else, they initially planned to retreat, but suddenly saw two figures flying toward them. Wanda held Franklin and waited in place. When the two figures got closer, she realized they were Superman.
"Hello, ma'am. Are you in trouble?" the leader of the group asked after flying over.
"I'm fine. Where did you come from? You..." Wanda didn't recall seeing them in her previous battle against the Incubus.
"We were brought here by Professor X, searching for a way in Dreamworld, and somehow flew into this Dark Space. Can you lead us out?"
