'Sigh, anyway, I think you people really oughta go now." Erik cracked his neck as his eyes glinted with malice. "Or I'll personally drive you out. I'm not holding back anymore..."
"We won't leave before we stop you!" Captain Rogers stated with determination.
The next instant, a crimson energy descended from the skies. It landed beside Erik, it was Wanda.
"For years, you have ignored the matters of Sokovia, ignored the suffering of its people. It wouldn't matter if you continue to do so and leave it to our hands," she said as a ball of crimson energy danced in her hands.
Before they could even respond, Wanda shot a ball of crimson energy toward the gathering of American superheroes.
Most of them dispersed to avoid the attack but Jean stayed there to protect Charles and a non-functional Iron Man with her psionic shields.
Captain hurled his shield towards Erik. But before it could reach him, it was stopped mid-air, encased in a telekinetic field. Erik's eyes glinted with power as he redirected the shield, sending it flying back towards Captain America with triple the force.
Cap barely had time to raise his arm and catch the shield, the impact pushing him back several steps.
The next instant, Erik appeared just before Steve, punching him hard on his face, unable to bear the force, Steve dropped to the ground.
"Captain, big fan, here! But please leave before this escalates too fa---Waoh!" Erik exclaimed mid-words as he dodged a massive green punch.
"RoaAAAAARRRR!!!!!" Bruce had turned into the HULK, his roar shook the ground.
Hank McCoy had also turned into his beast form and he was helping Captain Rogers up.
Hulk roared again, his eyes filled with rage, and swung at Erik with all his might. Erik, using his telekinesis, lifted himself into the air, narrowly avoiding another devastating strike.
He countered with a small telekinetic blast, but Hulk's brute strength allowed him to withstand the attack, though it pushed him back a few feet.
"Impressive," Erik admitted, hovering in the air, "But my muscles are not lesser than yours."
Erik had Titan cells, after all.
Closing his fist he flew straight at Hulk, his form barely a blur, his fist landed on Hulk's cheeks, sending the green mass of muscles tumbling afar.
But before Erik could even follow after the Hulk, a red optic blast from Scott Summers—Cyclops—streaked toward him. Erik turned just in time, his teeth gritted as a similar but darker crimson ray shot out of his eyes.
The two beams met in the middle, each trying to overpower the other. But Erik's optic blasts were superior, enhanced by the Titan cells in his body. They overpowered Scott's blast with ease.
"Haaahhhh!!!!" Scott yelled as he strained even more.
Storm, intervened, and summoned a strong gust of wind, enclosing Erik in a powerful tornado. The clouds crackled again as she directed a bolt of lightning at him, but then a dark purplish vortex absorbed everything.
Meanwhile, Wanda faced off against Jean, both hurling debris and cars at each other.
Charles and Tony were already teleported into the Blackbird by Kurt who was now just waiting for an opportunity to intervene but the fight on both ends was beyond his calibre.
But Natasha was more experienced and daring than him, she could see the strain in the eyes of both female telekinetics and took advantage of the moment, her movements swift and stealthy as she closed the distance between herself and Wanda.
But Wanda's training with Erik wasn't for naught, she anticipated her movements and with her other hand, caught Natasha in a chaotic scarlet mist and launched her far in the air.
'That momentum and height would kill her for sure.' Wanda smirked, 'But...that's not my aim.'
Jean gasped as she saw Nat falling to the ground at a dangerously fast rate, she quickly concentrated her telekinesis to catch the Black Widow in the air.
The distracted Jean got hit by a powerful crimson blast directly on her head and passed out.
Wanda had learned a fair share of dirty tricks from Erik in the past year. And her control over her chaos powers had improved by leaps and bounds. She had begun to understand the true nature of her powers with Erik's help and now, she can even imbue the chaos mist with some of her will.
Basically, she can cast spells! Although still basic ones. And the one that hit Jean was imbued with Wanda's will to knock her out cold.
In other words, Jean was hit by a sleep spell.
Wanda also saved the falling female Avenger and then hit her bound form with a simple chop on the neck to knock her out unconscious.
Oh, of course, he taught her a bit of hand-to-hand combat as well!
After she defeated the two girls, she noticed that Erik was still testing his powers on the Avengers and X-Men. And the rest of the Heroes were all focused on him so, she was kinda free now.
Seeing him enjoy the test of his powers, she sighed, 'Is Lilja rubbing off on him or what?'
Wanda remembered the time when just after arriving on Earth Lilja went brawling with a bear in the forest.
From her spot, she noticed Hawkeye aiming at Erik with a bow.
She truly wondered how a metal stick would harm Erik, but sighing again, she tossed a harmless blast of chaos energy at him causing him to faint and fall down from the wing of the Blackbird.
Inside the Blackbird, Tony finally got out of his unresponsive suit. The suit's AI was completely destroyed by some freaking virus. He had to find a way to force a way to restart at least a few functionalities of the suit.
And that's when the hull of the ship was torn open by a crimson force, it was Wanda Maximoff.
She stared emotionlessly at Stark. Even if she had given up on revenge, she just can't forget him...
Out of his suit, Stark was very vulnerable, she knew. She could kill him easily, she knew... but exhaling she controlled her emotions, and just knocked him out unconscious like the rest of the people floating behind her.
"What did you do to them, what did you do to Jean!" Charles asked from his wheelchair, his voice, a mixture of anger and shock.
Wanda dropped all the passed-out heroes in the ship and turned to him, her expressions still unreadable, "Don't worry, Xavier, they're not dead. And just as Erik said, we are not the villains you think we are."
"Eirikyr has turned people into dead puppets, do you really think I'll believe you!" Charles retorted.
"Well..." Wanda hummed, wondering if she could try to diffuse the misunderstanding but chose to ignore them after all, "Anyway, he told me that he might explain everything to you and the Avengers in the future. Till then, don't dare interfere with our nation." She warned with an ice-cold voice.
Charles glared and brought his fingers to his forehead, 'This time, I'll defeat you, Scarlet Witch!'

"And this button should help you land the jet once you've arrived at your destination. Are you sure you understand it, Kurt?" Erik asked the blue-skinned mutant with concern.
Kurt nodded, still a bit nervous, "I think, I-I'll be okay, thank you, Mr. Anderson."
It was quite surprising to think that Kurt didn't even get a bruise in the skirmish between the combined might of Avengers and X-Men against Erik and Wanda.
"Okay, then have a safe trip." Erik smiled giving a pat on Kurt's soldier who was seated on the main cockpit of the Blackbird jet.
Erik walked out of the ship while avoiding stepping on passed-out Avengers and X-Men members.
