After the emotional rollercoaster of the morning, MJ was determined to make sure America Chavez had a proper meal. Despite America's protests that she was no longer hungry, MJ had seen just how fragile the girl's condition was. So, she gently but firmly convinced America to sit down at the kitchen table once again.

"Trust me, sweetie, you need to eat something," MJ said with a motherly tone. "It's been a while since you've had a proper meal, hasn't it?"

America hesitated, her eyes downcast. "Yeah... I guess so." After all, it wasn't easy to find a reliable source of edible food when traveling through the multiverse.

MJ dished out a generous plate of scrambled eggs, bacon, toast, and some fresh fruit. She placed it in front of America, who picked at the food with a mix of curiosity and reluctance. The aroma of the hot food filled the air, making it difficult for her to resist taking a few bites.

...

After America filled her stomach, MJ noticed that the girl was still clinging to her side like a lifeline. It was as if she feared being left alone, and MJ couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for her.

Meanwhile, Lily was practically vibrating with excitement. She had spent the past few hours glued to her new friend, trying to include her in every activity, and now she was bursting with questions. Finally, unable to contain her curiosity any longer, she blurted out, "So, America, where did you come from? And those star portals you make, they're so cool! Is it magic? Or are you a Metahuman?"

America's gaze flickered between MJ, Peter, and Lily, unsure if she should share her story. She glanced at MJ, who gave her a reassuring nod. "You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to," MJ said gently. She had a hunch that America might be a victim of some sort of incident or abuse, and she didn't want to pressure her.N0v3lRealm was the platform where this chapter was initially revealed on N0v3l.B1n.

After a moment of contemplation, America finally sighed and decided to open up. She owed this family that much, considering how they had taken her in and even stopped her portal as well.

"I don't know what universe I'm from," America began, her voice shaky but determined. "I used to live with my mothers, Elena and Amalia Chavez. When I was just a little kid, about four years old, I... I developed this strange ability. I could create portals to other universes, but I couldn't control it."

As America spoke, she couldn't help but remember the day it all began. Playing innocently in a field of flowers, a bee had landed on her hand. In her fear, she had unintentionally conjured a portal, which had swept her parents off their feet and into the swirling, star-shaped vortex. She had never seen them again after that day.

Tears welled up in America's eyes as she continued, "After losing my parents, I was alone. I traveled through a bunch of universes, accidentally opening portals whenever I was scared or upset. Not all universes are friendly either..."

Lily listened with wide eyes, absorbing America's story with a mix of fascination and empathy. She couldn't imagine what it must have been like to lose her parents and travel through different dimensions all alone.

The Ancient One's eyes widened, and she immediately began to warn Peter about the dangers of the Darkhold. "Peter, the Darkhold is an ancient and malevolent grimoire. It corrupts its user, driving them to commit unspeakable acts of evil. You must steer clear of it."

Peter nodded in understanding. "I get that, and I have no intention of using it. I'm going to destroy the Darkhold and the temple."

The Ancient One regarded him with a mixture of skepticism and concern. She knew Peter had a knack for getting himself into trouble, and she didn't want him to be swayed by the book's dark influence.

"Okay, I'll tell you, but only under one condition," the Ancient One said firmly. "I'll tag-along to make sure you don't do anything stupid..."

Peter shrugged uncaringly before nodding in agreement. "Alright, then let's go."

With that settled, the Ancient One began to explain. "Let's start with the book... Last I heard, It was in the possession of a Salem witch named Agatha Harkness..."

In a dimly lit chamber nestled deep underground, the Scarlet Witch paced nervously. Her powers had grown exponentially since her possession of the Darkhold, and she had used its malevolent knowledge to monitor the movements of her quarry, a young girl named America Chavez.

However, her frustration had been mounting. Her attempts to capture America had been thwarted time and time again. The girl's unique abilities to manipulate multiverse traveling rifts had proven elusive, and each time she sent her monstrous creation after her, she always managed to slip away.

Suddenly, Wanda's scarlet eyes glowed with anger as she realized that her creation, a grotesque monstrosity of twisted tentacle limbs and gnashing teeth, had failed in its mission. But instead of the being unable to catch its target as per usual, her attack dog had been destroyed.

She couldn't help but curse as she slammed the Darkhold to the floor. America Chavez was her only link to her children. She needed the girls powers to reunite with them, but the America's resilience was beginning to test her patience.

With a deep breath, she reached down for the Darkhold, a sinister tome that pulsed with dark energy. Its pages were filled with arcane knowledge and forbidden spells, and she had been using it to peer into the multiverse, seeking answers and guidance.

As she delved into the ancient grimoire, her vision blurred and expanded, transcending the boundaries of her own reality. She sought out the truth of what had transpired, reaching out with her enhanced powers to see through the fabric of the multiverse.

And there it was, a vision of a young girl(Lily), wielding powers far beyond normal human capabilities. She watched as the girl, with determination in her eyes, faced down the monstrous abomination that she had sent to capture America. With swift and decisive action, she unleashed a deafening blast of Eldritch energy, defeating the creature with an impressive display of strength and courage.

Wanda's frown deepened as she realized that this new player was a force to be reckoned with. The girl had protected her target, making her a potential threat. "I'll have to adjust my strategy..."

Closing the Darkhold, Wanda knew what she must do. She would need to send another universe-hopping monstrosity after America, one even more formidable than the last. And this time, she would use the Darkhold to enhance its power, making it a truly unstoppable force.
