Y/n held onto Tommy's hand as they walked behind Agnes and Billy.  They stepped past the front door slowly.

"Look, I don't think I've ever been in Agnes'  house, but I think  this town should be very happy she didn't go into interior design." She leant forward in her close up chair. "Very happy."

She looked around the doorway as Agnes danced through to the living room. "Welcome  to my humble abode! Go, run around! Find some dark corners! Explore!" Y/n watched as Billy and Tommy hesitated before walking through the archways.

Billy  sat down on a green couch, and Tommy followed. Not a second later a rabbit jumped  onto his lap.

"Woah!" Agnes smiled from the kitchen. 

"Oh don't worry  about Senior Scratchy, he just wants some cuddles." Y/n watched as Agnes walked into the room, a small bowl of candy in her arms. She gently placed the bowl on the coffee table before sitting between the twins. She leaned down to Billy.  

"Penny for your thoughts?" He was silent for a second before answering.

"I like it here." Agnes smiled.

"Oh good! Is it because Senior Scratchy is such a good listener?" Billy looked down at the rabbit.

"No. It's because it's quiet. You're quiet Agnes." Y/n laughed.

"I've  never heard that before!" Billy shook his head.

"No, Agnes is quiet on the  inside." Agnes frowned, but before she could even think of  something to say Tommy cut in. 

"Do you think our mom  is okay?" Agnes  turned her head silently between them.

"Oh for sure!" Y/n nodded.

"Of course boys! Every mom needs a day off sometimes! Even I..." She stopped. What was she saying? Who was there? In her mind? She could feel someone. Agnes hugged the twins.

"You don't  have to worry about your mom! She can do anything, she's supermom!" She patted the boys on the back before shrugging her shoulders to Y/n.

Y/n looked out the window. There was something going on in Wanda's yard.

"Hey Agnes,  maybe the boys should go play somewhere. The attic maybe?" Agnes shook her head.

"You should take them down to the basement, I'll go talk to Wanda." Y/n frowned. 

"She's my sister in law I should," Agnes  shook her head.

"No. I insist."  Y/n blinked with a  smile.

"Of course. Billy! Tommy! Let's check out the basement."

Y/n held their hands as they passed through the basement door. It was dark, and unlike the tacky decor upstairs, the basement seemed empty.

"Boys, watch out okay?" Y/n felt something  surround her, a mist. In seconds she felt herself get yanked to the ceiling with vines. The boys had disappeared.  She thrashed her arms and legs, but the vines just grew tighter.

"I can do this. I'm a superhero!  I'm  a superhero?" Y/n felt her brain become her own again, slowly slipping her past back to her. She closed her4 eyes  and took a deep breath.

She opened her eyes.

She was still there.

"God, why can't I teleport?! I really need this right now." She looked down, a small puddle of water pooled below her, reflecting her face back at  her. And there, around her neck, she found her answer. A small necklace with a ring threaded on it like a pendant. One orange gem, one blue. But this wasn't her ring. Wanda, or maybe Agnes, had changed it. It was a power dampener in disguise, and it was choking  her.

~~~

Y/n listened closely. She  closed her eyes, focusing. She could hear Wanda and Agnes, it was faint, but she could hear them. Them and the hum of magic.  They were getting louder, and angrier. There was a bang. Another. And silence. A long string of silence. They boys yelled out. At least they were alive. That was all that Y/n knew. She was here, and they were here. And all three of them were  alive.
