I would like to thank my beta, Akisu, for his help in this chapter.

13th May 2013, Asgard
(Hela Odinsdottir POV)
The woman gave her a knowing glance, "Because he's the one who took over your will and stabbed your father in the back."
Hela stiffened. She remembered the feeling of weakness and wanted nothing to do with it. She ignored the pain in her heart when she saw her father being stabbed. In the back of all places, what a dishonorable way of fighting. No matter what happened, she could not let her father's potential death stay unavenged, "I agree."
The Midgardian witch nodded, "Good. What about your father?"
"I'll assume that he was under the Shadows' control until he wakes up. When he does, I will confront him."
The woman nodded, "Don't expect much, Hela. Mind control or not, Odin is still an asshole at the best of times."
Hela stifled a snort at this. Yes, that was an apt way of describing Odin.

16th May 2013, Sayre Manor
(Wanda Maximoff POV)
Wanda Maximoff was used to her mother disappearing on odd quests whenever she feels like it. She disappeared for years after her first fight with Entropy, she stayed for months in a cave in Wakanda during her ritual, and now, she went to Asgard to fight some kind of Shadow Demon things that controlled the Asgardian in order to get Odin's alliance in the fight against Entropy.
Honestly, Wanda had no idea what the hell was going on with the Asgard mess, only that Jasmine was really going out of her way to deal with it. Honestly, Wanda stopped trying to figure out her adopted mother's plans a very long time ago. She had plans inside plans, surrounded by complex plots and turns, that somehow end up working. No, she wasn't worried about her mother's life in the slightest.
Wanda will admit without a shred of shame or guilt that being adopted by Jasmine was the best thing that ever happened to her. Her life before was so lonely, so uncolored, filled with nothing but madness and anger. Wanda's rage against her father, against her brother, against the world, had consumed every cell in her body and the young woman shuddered at the thought of what she would have become if her mother hadn't saved her.
The redhead shook her head, "No, no one knows anything. It's really weird, actually."
"Do you think we should ask Rose? She was obviously involved in whatever happened to Jasmine."
Jean nodded, "I don't know. She might be busy."
Wanda snorted, "It's not like we can't just teleport out if she's too busy."
Jean's green eyes bored through her, "You're really worried about Jasmine, aren't you?"
"She's my mother," Wanda returned, "of course, I'm worried."
"She's been through so much already, she can take it, Wanda."
The reality manipulator shook her head, "No, something is different this time. Something was wrong when she called us, and with how Selene is gone somewhere, and Rose is ghosting us, something must have happened, something serious."
Jean looked pensive, "Ever since I met her, she has been obsessed with the fight against Entropy. She's giving it her all, and I can tell that. This is probably another of her antics trying to think of the bigger picture or something like that."
"Jean, I'm serious here. I can feel that something is wrong."
Jean shrugged, "If it makes you feel any better, I suppose we could go to Britain and ask Rose. But if she kicks us out, or if she's too busy, you'll be the one explaining about your little hunch. I still think that it's probably nothing and that you're just missing Jasmine. But it's your mother, so I guess I can understand your worry."
Wanda was relieved by her girlfriend's acceptance to go to Britain. She ran and enveloped the redhead in a hug, "Thanks for understanding. You're the best girlfriend ever."
Jean gave her a cheeky smirk, "Remember that when it's my time to ask you for a weird favor."
Wanda snorted as Jean waved her arms and opened the portal. The two women walked inside and appeared in a deserted alley in Britain. Wanda was going to get answers and Rose was the key to it.
