Inside her room, it was Wanda who woke, retaking control of her battered limbs and bloodied body as the beast within her muttered dark threats. It was still paralyzed by the venom blast, and it needed more time to regain its strength. But Wanda could sense that it was seething.
"Jessica?" Wanda called out in a desperate croak when she heard her friend's voice outside. She rolled from her bed and crawled through the viscera on her floor to the door. When it opened, she looked up at the pair of them, her expression a mix of wariness and relief. "Jess. Tony? It- it's angry, Jess, we made it mad. You have to stop it," Wanda was whispering, as though she thought that if she was quiet and careful she could keep control. The attempt was futile. "You have to-" She didn't get the chance to tell them how to quell the monster, because the monster had returned.
"Back for more Jessssica?" it asked, wearing its cruel smirk and black gaze on Wanda's face. " And you called for help. Who is it?" The thing inside Wanda stared at Iron Man and then sneered, chuckling to itself. "Oh. The knight in shining armor."
Wanda's body was suddenly dragged away from the door by an unseen force and then wrenched to its feet. It threw back Wanda's head and cackled, long and low. "Another murderer! She loves such terrible people doesn't she? No surprise. She doesn't have the best judgement." The monster gestured at itself as proof, and then tilted its head, gaze fixed on Jessica. "Jessss, you were bad, weren't you? Shouldn't have come back. Now I'll have to hurt her again. And you. And him."
