185. The Melancholy of Wanda Maximoff
Black Elk Bar.
This is a very inconspicuous bar in Brooklyn, New York.
It is also one of the secret strongholds of Hydra.
Now it is the main gathering place for the Mutant Brotherhood in New York.
"well……"
Scarlet Witch Wanda Maximov sat on the bar, supporting his cheeks with both hands, and sighed quietly.
So, how did things develop to this point?
Wanda's beautiful eyes were full of confusion.
The brother and sister were watching Crafts and others in Sokovia kill the Hydra in Baron Strak's hand in destruction, but in fact they did not hate Craft.
Later I learned about Craft and Martin Lee's experiences was one of the reasons, and more importantly, I was scared at that time...
But no matter what, they had no idea to seek revenge on Craft and Martin Lee.
However, the two Maximov brothers and sisters did not let go of their hatred for Tony Stark, so they first spent some time finding some Hydra abilities who were not in Sokovia at the time. Then Wanda directly used his power to change their memories and let them use them for their own use.
After gathering a group of initial members, they came to the United States to seek revenge on Stark, but they happened to encounter S.H.E.L.D. cleaning up Hydra. By chance, they fought with S.H.E.L.D. and the Avengers.
Unfortunately, Iron Man was not there at that time, so Wanda and Pitro did not hurt them after defeating the Avengers, but took the initiative to leave with their men, and also kidnapped some of the remnants of Hydra. To be precise, they were entangled.
However, under Wanda's mental ability, this group of Hydras who wanted to use superpowers as guns became Wanda's lackeys and contributed a lot of Hydra's resources. Black Elk Bar is one of them.
In order not to equate with Hydra, Wanda and Pitro discussed it and simply set up their own business again, formed the Mutant Brotherhood, and fought with the Avengers several times during this period, and they all won.
The result was that this organization, which was originally just used to retaliate against Tony Stark, actually attracted many psychics to join.
Of course, there is no need to say much about those villains with bad intentions. Wanda and Pitro can't pay attention to it at all, but some of them are not considered bad people, and are more forced by life.
For example, Flint Marco, a sand man, just wanted to get some money to treat his daughter. After Wanda and Pitro helped him with Hydra funds, he devoted himself to doing things with the two siblings.
In addition, there are: he was forced to be arrested and later escaped. He was excluded because of his inexplicable mutant appearance. He lost control when he woke up and caused damage. He was wanted by the official and had to flee everywhere.
At first, Wanda was soft-hearted and took all these people under his command. Later, he found that the trend was gradually wrong and stopped doing this. However, at this time, the Mutant Brotherhood already had many members.
In fact, most people's demands are similar to those of two siblings, especially those who are snatched to do human experiments. Their idea is to make the group of forces that do not treat them as humans at a price. Since some of them belong to official laboratories, it is inevitable that they will have conflicts with S.H.E.L.D. and the Avengers.
In addition, there are a very small number of people whose ideas are more complicated. They want to use the power of Wanda and Pitro to allow mutants or psychics to obtain "the right they deserve"...
America has never lacked such human rights fighters, even mutants.
These people actively connect with other members, wanting to formalize and institutionalize the Mutant Brotherhood. When Wanda and Pitro come to their senses, they have formulated all the logos to uniforms, as well as slogans and actions.
Fortunately, Wanda and Pitro have seen similar faith fanaticism in Hydra and know that this is not a good thing, so Wanda took action in time and used his mental ability to calm the group of incited members, and then kicked all the troublemakers out of the Mutant Brotherhood.
After reorganizing the Mutant Brotherhood, there was a little disagreement between Wanda and Pitro.
The cause was that Tony Stark took the initiative to come to the door, and he admitted his mistakes to the brother and sister and asked for their understanding.
In fact, after two fights with Tony Stark, Wanda learned from Stark's memory and subsequent information that he had collected that those weapons were not sold by Stark, and he had long since closed the weapons department of Stark Industry.
At the same time, after this conversation with Stark, she learned about his sense of responsibility as a superhero, so she and Pitro naturally put down their hatred of Stark, but did not agree to Stark's invitation to join the Avengers.
Because Pitro wants to continue to lead those mutant companions to retaliate against those forces conducting human experiments, and does not want to disband the Mutant Brotherhood organization.
But unlike Pitro, who likes excitement, Wanda only wants to live a peaceful life like a normal person.
Although Pitro has made it clear that Wanda can live the life she wants, how could she just leave Pitro, her only relative, so she finally continued to follow Pitro and manage the Mutant Brotherhood.
It is indeed a little difficult for Wanda, a little girl with little experience, to maintain the work of an organization. Even if she has the assistance of those brainwashed Hydra agents, she still feels unsuccessful.
"well……"
Wanda, who was frowning, sighed again and lay on the bar.
"Are you still thinking about the Brotherhood?"
Flint, a sand man, came to the seat next to Wanda and sat down, put the drink in front of her.
"Uncle Flint, do you think it's really okay for us to continue like this?"
Wanda sat upright, picked up the drink and took a sip, and then let out a long breath.
Although Flint, a sand man, chose to stay at the Mutant Brotherhood for help out of morality and concerns about these two young people, he, like Maximov, is not a well-educated person.
His life experience is not helpful to how to develop an organization, so in the face of Wanda's problem, Flint could only smile helplessly.
"well……"
Wanda sighed again, no longer thinking about those complicated things.
In addition to the Brotherhood, Wanda is still worried about Craft, who destroyed Hydra's base.
You should know that Craft went to Sokovia for revenge. What he did was actually no different from what Pitro and the others were doing now.
So if Craft refused to give up and wanted to continue to seek revenge on her and Pitro, she had no idea how to deal with it.
This is also the reason why she and Pitro knew about Craft and Martin Lee but did not invite them to join the Mutant Brotherhood.
Fortunately, after so long, Martin Lee did not move, and Craft disappeared for a long time, so Wanda was just a little worried and didn't take it too seriously.
However, at this moment, Flint next to him suddenly turned his head and looked at the TV hanging above the bar.
"Oh! Dream Company is going to launch a new product again! I hope this new product is played by girls, and Penny is their loyal fan."
When talking about his daughter, Flint chattered a little.
However, Wanda had no intention of paying attention to Flint because a figure she was still talking about appeared on TV.
The chief designer of Dream Toys, the famous genius teenager, Craft Lee, reappeared in the public's sight after disappearing for a while, and announced that there will be a brand new product launch in three days.
