Red invades his vision, then he's inside another one of Wanda's memories. There's a church, the scattered pieces of sentries everywhere, an important machine on the platform behind her. Wanda tells Pietro to go, and while he protests he eventually does as she says and she's alone. There is guilt and fear under her determination, but all things considered, Wanda's doing as well as one could expect. No sentry can get near her though they try over and over and over...
And then it happens. Something tugs hard and Wanda can practically feel the bullets in her own chest. She gasps in pain and shock and her powers burn to the surface in some vain attempt to protect her from the backlash carried along their bond. The city is falling, Wanda's alone, Pietro is slipping away, and all she can think is no more.
Wisps of scarlet seek their targets as she falls to her knees, followed by a shockwave that burns the sentries so thoroughly there's not even dust but passes harmlessly through everything else.
The vision fades on Wanda's sobbing and present-day Wanda's eyes are wet with tears. Why couldn't he just leave this one thing alone?]
