#this is my ideal conclusion to Wanda's arc and you can pry this headcannon from my gay little hands

[visions-indestructible-head]

honestly all i want for the end of Wanda's arc is to absolutely feral and possibly on a killing spree. i want her to be rightfully furious with the world and how it treated her and to do bad things. i want people in-universe and out to debate whether she lost control over her powers or if she chose to do that out of free will because the writing leaves it ambiguous.

i want Doctor Strange to be there at the end, sent by whoever is in charge to kill the Scarlet Witch. i want them to have an actual conversation instead of a fight because can you imagine how powerful that would be?

Wanda has created this little Hex pocket for herself after she laid waste to her surroundings. Stephen comes floating through the barrier like it's nothing. Wanda watches him approach and does nothing. "What do you want?" "Just to talk." she regards him for a moment, then invites him to sit with her.

they sit side by side on a half destroyed building and she asks him how he got through to her. he chuckles and says "Wizard to witch, magic is a complicated thing only to those who do not know it." "that's what they call me now, a witch?" she then nods to herself "they've been treating me like one anyways."

after a beat Wanda asks if he's here to kill her. "no, Wanda, nobody--" she looks at him and he concedes, "-- thinks you can be killed." "but you know better, don't you?" "i know that everyone can be defeated."

there's silence for a moment until Wanda says that heartbreaking line from House of M: "am i a coward for not wanting to kill myself when i know i should?"

we see how tired she is. it's never explicitly stated, but the audience is given the feeling that Wanda already is defeated.

it ends there. you see the Hex breaking away and only Stephen emerging. he tells whoever sent him that it's done, that the Scarlet Witch is no more.

there's an end credit scene where we see Wanda in a small cottage, cooking some paprikash. she looks out over the side of a mountain. the subtitle says "Mt. Wundagore". her face is unreadable, and when the screen fades to black the story of Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch, is officially concluded.
