[3rd POV]

After looking through the eyes of her clones, Wanda had to admit that they had been up to quite a lot over the past few weeks. The progress they had made in the two universes was impressive, which wasn’t surprising considering they were both her.

From what she could tell, future clones she creates will be just as successful at their development in different universes. Meaning she could effectively begin to rapidly accrue more and more knowledge over time.

She planned on making some more clones soon, for the Dragon Ball universe, the Once Upon a Time universe, and the Vampire Diaries universe.

Speaking of the Once Upon a Time universe, Wanda had gotten visited by Emma for the first time in literal weeks. She hadn’t seen the blonde in quite some time, but according to the woman, she had been pretty damn busy as of recently.

“So, have you talked to Regina yet about your attraction to her?” Wanda asked, staring ahead at the woman who sat across from her at the table. She hadn’t seen her in literal weeks at this point, meaning something had to have happened during that time.

Hopefully.

“Well…not exactly” Emma responded slowly, wondering how to explain this.

“So I uh…might have…pushed her farther away from me. But it wasn’t entirely my fault” Emma said, as Wanda raised an eyebrow at her words.

“And what exactly did you do that was “Not exactly” your fault? I do hope it wasn’t anything to idiotic” Wanda asked, as Emma grimaced slightly.

“My mom – Snow White – might have called her Evil and basically warned me to never go near her ever again. And while I was ready to tell her off, Regina had stepped out of…who knows where, and had heard all of it” Emma responded, causing Wanda to sigh.

“God you people and your inability to do the simplest thing, the easiest possible way to fix this” Wanda said, barely holding back her facepalm. As she looked at the confused woman in front of her.

“And what is the way to fix this?” Emma asked.

“Simple, you apologize to the woman that you are attracted to, and ask her on a damn date already” Wanda responded with a twitch of her eyebrow, wondering how this woman would ever get with Regina if she kept making stupid mistakes.

Not to mention asking stupid questions that were easily answerable.

“I-well, that’s easier said than done! Do you even know what type of woman that Regina is? Cause sure, she is beautiful, incredible, smart…the best. But she is also vindictive, sometimes cruel – which is kind of hot at times – and isn’t one to just forgive and forget” Emma responded with a deadpan, knowing that Regina was…difficult to work with.

She was still very much falling in love with her though. That incredibly stubborn personality was very alluring to her, as she was just as stubborn, if not more so at times.

“Stop being a wimp and just speak with her, Emma. We both know that it will only get worse if you continue to push it off and ignore it. But, if you face it straight up and speak with her, then you can have a good chance at fixing your relationship with her. You might even improve your relationship by speaking with her properly” Wanda said in response, finding Emma’s cowardice to be both exhausting and kind of amusing.

“…You’re very blunt, you know that?” Emma replied, a little insulted by her words, but she had to admit that the woman was…right. She was acting like a wimp, and needed to toughen up in order to repair her relationship with Regina.

“I know. But me being blunt is going to help you right now. Now get out of here and go and talk with the woman you are in love with” Wanda responded just as bluntly, while Emma could only blink as she was basically pushed out of the shop by a smiling Wanda.

Pushing her out of the shop, Wanda watched her leave with a small hum.

‘I wonder how long it will take her to actually talk with Regina again, much less get together with her’ Wanda thought, wondering if it would take weeks or months like it had with Emma coming to her shop again. And she wondered if Regina would even accept it if she took that long.

She hoped Emma was smart enough to not wait.

After Emma left the shop, Wanda had returned back to her normal routine. With the book club coming into the shop again after a week. They had finally finished their current book, and ended up choosing another book from the recommendations she had given them.

This time it was a romantic fantasy.

Once they had left, Wanda was left in the shop alone. The kids were currently hanging out with Raven, having a fun day out just the three of them. Ivy was visiting a friend in Gotham – who she had a feeling she knew – and Teekl was slumbering absentmindedly on her catbad that she had made her quite a while ago.

The cat in question regularly just wandered the shop and around the house, and particularly enjoyed exploring some of her personal dimensions. Like the ones that had a shit ton of fish or yarn to play with.

Cat things.

Teekl was also incredibly lazy, so she found little interest in doing much besides eating, sleeping, and sometimes playing. But that was pretty rare these days, as she tended to stick near Raven more often.

Sitting behind her counter, Wanda was sipping on her tea as she read one of the new books she had picked up recently from the world of Game of Thrones. It was a book on ancient Valyrian history, and was quite interesting.

The language was rather easy to follow, and sounded very interesting when speaking it. Its connection to dragons and fire magic was also quite peculiar.

Reading through her book, Wanda sipped on her tea as the door to her shop opened with a ding. Glancing up, she raised an eyebrow at who she found walking in with a bright smile on his face.

“What are you doing here, Lucifer?” Wanda asked the man. She hadn’t seen him visit the shop in a couple of weeks or so. And since he was visiting now, that meant he probably wanted something.

“What, can I not come visit a friend?” Lucifer asked in response, giving her a fake look of hurt. Wanda just deadpanned in response, causing the man to pout.

“Fine, fine. I’m here to buy some books of you. I’ve got a…friend that would greatly appreciate them” Lucifer said.

“Ah, you mean the detective, right?” Wanda asked, remembering Detective Decker, the woman that he had recently met and was absolutely falling for. It was a funny thing to witness, the powerful entity like Lucifer falling for a simple mortal woman that was barely more unique than any other.

“Yes yes, now, I am going to shop. Oh, and I’m not the only one coming here today, you’ve got another guest coming” Lucifer said as he walked over to the non-fiction section. Hearing his words, Wanda raised an eyebrow, only for it to shoot up even higher when she saw who had entered her shop next, as the door dinged in response.

For the one that had entered her store was…

Dream of the Endless

“…Impressive” He said simply as he looked around the shop, stilling slightly when he saw that Lucifer was in the shop, before opting that the better idea was to just ignore the troublesome devil, and had instead focused back on Wanda who was looking at him with an interested gleam in her eyes.

“Ah, Death had told me that you were coming. But I was pretty sure she said it’d be in three days, not weeks” Wanda said, staring at the man.

“Time is fickle, and I was busy” Dream replied simply, as Wanda chuckled.

“Fair and true. Now, what can I do for you, Dream of the Endless?” Wanda asked, staring at the man who only stared back for a few moments.

He could sense the intense power within Wanda, but only barely. He remembered his sisters words, the warning Death had given him in regards to the power and danger of Wanda. The warning to never, ever piss her off.

And he knew as he stared at her, that she was going to have exactly what she needed. And so, he said only a short sentence in response, one that got a raised eyebrow out of Wanda.

“…I need your help”

And in response, Wanda could only say one thing.

“…I’m listening”
