Chapter 22 - Chapter 22: Another League Meeting, The Savior and Evil Queen

[3rd POV]

While Wanda was continuing to run her bookstore, selling books to all sorts of people, ranging from those from this universe, to all sorts of other ones. The Justice League was in a meeting once again, as they had been called together by Bruce once again, which was concerning, until they found out what they had been called together for.

"You called us together over...a book?" Wonder Woman asked, both annoyed and confused. She had been looking into the woman that had knocked her out once again, but had yet to find anything on her, even after quite some time of searching.

No matter what she did, no matter who she asked for help, she could find nothing on her. As if she simply didn't exist, or as if she had disappeared from the world as a whole. It was aggravating, to say the least.

"It's not just a book, Diana. It's something not of this world" Bruce said, as he tapped on the holographic keyboard that appeared in front of him, the book's contents forming in a holographic form.

"So is it alien?" Oliver asked, growing a bit more interested now that he heard this. It wasn't everyday they had knowledge from other worlds that appeared on Earth, especially not in book form. The last time something like that had been found and taken care of, was over a year ago, and it was...not a fun time for the League.

"From what I can tell? Not exactly. It is primarily human in nature, from Earth, written by a human. But...I believe it is not from this world" Bruce said, as Barry Allen who was reading through the page, felt his eyes widen the more he read.

"This...these formulas are well beyond anything we have on Earth. Stuff like this would revolutionize the energy industry! But from what I can tell, that one is alien, the others though...are you thinking this is a multiverse situation?" Barry asked, as they did know of the multiverse, primarily thanks to Doctor Fate, and his own knowledge on it (Speed force for the win).

But their knowledge was...limited to say the least.

"I believe so, yes. It's well beyond our Earth, but...it is likely within the capabilities of another Earth. I don't know how or where they come from exactly, but I do know that the owner of the bookstore that I had gotten these from is not a normal woman, far from it" Bruce said, as a picture of Wanda flashed into view, none of them recognizing her thanks to her magic shielding her from Diana remembering who exactly she was.

"Wanda Maximoff, 25, unmarried, no children. She is the owner of the popular bookstore known as "Emporium" as well as the writer of several comics and books, ones that are becoming increasingly popular online as more and more people buy them. She's a sort of growing celebrity in the book and comic industry, for her unique and often brutal stories" Bruce said, as the picture shifted to her sipping on some coffee at her favorite coffee shop.

"She is currently living in her bookstore, or at least the apartment above it, in Gotham. And from what I can tell, that is all there is on her. No college degree, dropped out of Highschool, no family, nothing. She's...almost like a blank slate, little to nothing on her" Bruce continued, as they all looked at him in silence.

"...And what about her business? How did she afford a bookstore? As it should have cost quite a bit to buy, right?" Black Canary asked, as Bruce sighed.

"An inheritance from her grandparents. They passed and she was beholden to quite a lot of money, enough to buy the bookstore and then some. The sort of money that allows one to live in comfort for a long long time" Bruce replied, knowing that her background was basically a dead end, there was little information on her that stood out, besides her dropping out of High School.

But that could be explained by her love for books and opening her bookstore.

"So what do we do? Do we approach in our civilian covers, try to gleam a bit more information from her? Or do we just go out and be blunt with it?" Clark asked, as he really didn't know how to approach something like this. An unknown woman with knowledge not from their world, or even their universe, how do you go about talking to someone like that?

"We go in our civilian cover and try to get as much information as we possibly can. If that does not work, then we go out and be upfront with her. Which I am sure that'll be necessary eventually, but for now, we go in quiet and stealthy" Bruce replied, as the League all nodded in agreement, finding the idea to be the best one.

They didn't know anything about the woman, and it would be best to be careful about how they speak to her, and with her.

"Good, now, how has your search been for the woman who knocked you out?"

___________________________

Back with Wanda, the woman sat behind her counter, watching in interest as her newest guests had begun to shop around the store, watching her out of the corner of their eyes as they wondered who the hell she was.

The new customers were an interesting group of people, ones that Wanda hadn't exactly expected, from a show that she quite liked in her past life.

A blonde woman who exuded light and warmth. This woman was known as the "Saviour" in her world, Emma Swan, daughter of Snow White.

A short brown haired boy, who was looking at her with wide eyes of confusion, as he held a large book in his hands. This boy was Henry Mills, son of Emma, adopted son of the last individual in the shop.

A beautiful black haired older woman, who was staring at her with narrowed eyes, gave off darker magic, and darker feelings. The Evil Queen, known as Regina Mills.

Glancing at the three in amusement, she could tell that they were currently at some point during season 2 in terms of timeline, likely after Emma came back from the Enchanted Forest, from the way it looks.

They were all very very weak, but she had to admit that their magic was quite interesting. Especially the magic known as "Love" a magic that could break any curse, break the very laws of magic itself. It was interesting to her, and the light and darkness within the two women were interesting as well.

Especially considering there was a rather interesting spark between them.

'Huh...interesting. Suppose the SwanQueen shippers from my past life were onto something after all' Wanda thought in amusement, before she opened her mouth and spoke.

"You don't have to be afraid of me, you know. I'm not going to harm any of you" Wanda said with a small smile, as she looked at them.

"Who are you?" Henry asked before either of his mothers could stop him, causing her to smile wider.

"Wanda Maximoff, owner of the Emporium, the bookstore you three are currently standing in. And must I say, I didn't expect for the Saviour, the Evil Queen, and their son to appear here" Wanda said genuinely, as Regina pulled Henry closer to her.

"And this...bookstore, what is it? It didn't exist before, but now...now it does" Regina asked, as Wanda hummed.

"A pocket dimension of my own design. Quite the complicated thing really, well beyond anything anyone in your universe could create. Even with your rather interesting Darkness and Light, and the oh so powerful love your universe holds within it" Wanda replied with a small smile on her face, as she magicked a tea into her hands.

"Our universe? You talk as if you are not from our universe" Regina spoke, eyes narrowed.

"Who says I am? Existence is an infinite expanse after all. Plus you're in a world of fairytales and magic, other worlds existing can't be that shocking to you" Wanda replied with a wave of her hand, the nearby books that were not put back being neatly floated back into place.

They all watched with wide eyes as she did so, amusement forming in her eyes for what felt like the 30th time today. As she looked them over, the magic books forming on her shelves, as she began to speak once again.

"So...what sort of books are you looking for?"
