MARVEL/DC: DOCTOR IN THE MULTIVERSE

One word.

"Stop."

Wanda's exhausted mind couldn't properly process it.

Instinct reacted before reason.

Fear.

Panic.

Protection.

The crimson energy surrounding her erupted violently.

She thrust both hands forward.

A surge of scarlet power exploded from her palms and rushed toward Lynn.

This wasn't a conventional energy blast.

It wasn't heat.

It wasn't electricity.

It wasn't even pure magic.

Chaos Magic functioned on a deeper level.

It altered probability.

Distorted matter.

Interfered with reality itself.

Anything struck by it risked having its fundamental structure rewritten.

Blood could become metal.

Stone could become flesh.

A wall could become water.

Reality obeyed no rules once Chaos Magic fully manifested.

The scarlet wave struck Lynn directly in the chest.

Lynn didn't move.

Didn't dodge.

Didn't block.

The crimson energy splashed across his white coat.

Ripples spread through the fabric.

Then—

Nothing.

The Immortal Divine Body's layered energy resistance activated automatically.

The overwhelming majority of the reality-distortion effect dissipated before reaching his physical structure.

Only a tiny residue remained.

A small patch of cotton near his chest transformed into smooth silk.

That was all.

Wanda froze.

Her strongest attack.

The power that had shattered reinforced HYDRA containment chambers.

The power that had accidentally rewritten human bodies.

The power Strucker feared.

And all it accomplished was changing part of a shirt.

Her pupils contracted sharply.

Lynn glanced down.

Examining the altered fabric.

Then looked back up.

"This coat cost twelve thousand dollars."

His tone remained calm.

Almost conversational.

Then he moved.

Not quickly.

Not even remotely quickly.

A normal human walking speed.

Yet Wanda suddenly discovered she couldn't follow his movement.

One moment he stood several meters away.

The next—

His hand was around her throat.

The grip was terrifyingly precise.

Not crushing.

Not choking.

Not restricting her breathing.

His fingers simply occupied every position necessary to completely control her.

Wanda's feet left the ground.

Chaos Magic retaliated immediately.

Scarlet energy erupted from every pore.

Reality distortion waves flooded Lynn's arm.

Matter-rewriting effects attempted to spread through his hand.

Lynn raised his free hand.

Not to block.

Not to counterattack.

To correct.

At the atomic level.

Chaos Magic was actively destabilizing surrounding probability states.

Lynn's Quantum Electromagnetic Domination responded by re-anchoring those probabilities.

Where Wanda rewrote.

He restored.

Where reality warped.

He stabilized.

His palm touched Wanda's forehead.

The distorted environment immediately began calming.

The wooden floor reverted to concrete.

The warped examination bed returned to metal.

The melted lighting fixtures resumed their original structure.

The clinic itself seemed to exhale.

The scarlet glow gradually weakened.

Wanda stared at him.

Completely terrified.

Since obtaining her powers, nobody had ever done this.

Nobody had ever touched Chaos Magic itself.

Nobody had ever suppressed it directly.

Yet the man in front of her accomplished it with a single hand.

"Turning my clinic into lumber?"

Lynn's voice remained soft.

"What exactly were you planning to compensate me with, Miss Maximoff?"

Wanda opened her mouth.

Nothing came out.

Lynn released her.

She dropped to the floor.

Gasping.

Shaking.

The red glow faded further.

"I..."

Her voice cracked.

"My brother..."

"Please."

That single word contained every remaining ounce of strength she possessed.

She looked up.

Tears filled her eyes.

Not magical tears.

Not enhanced tears.

Just the tears of a frightened young woman watching the only family she had left die in front of her.

Lynn studied her quietly.

Rainwater mixed with tears on her face.

Her jacket was torn.

Her hands trembled.

She looked less like a future Scarlet Witch and more like a homeless refugee.

Which, at the moment, she essentially was.

Lynn turned away.

His attention shifted toward Pietro.

The All-Seeing Eye activated.

Three-dimensional biological scans unfolded across his vision.

Every blood vessel.

Every muscle fiber.

Every damaged nerve.

Every altered cell.

The diagnosis completed instantly.

[Automatic Diagnosis Complete...]

[Patient: Pietro Maximoff]

[Codename: Quicksilver]

[Injury Assessment:]

[1. Extensive vascular destruction throughout both lower legs. Tissue necrosis exceeds 85%. Severe secondary infection detected.]

[2. Cellular instability caused by repeated Mind Stone energy exposure. Regenerative functions heavily impaired.]

[3. Significant neural damage affecting sensory transmission pathways in both legs.]

[4. Persistent exotic energy residue interfering with stem-cell recovery and tissue reconstruction.]

[Overall Survival Rate: 87.3%]

[Without treatment, bilateral amputation becomes unavoidable within 48 hours.]

[Curing this target may allow acquisition of an A+ Rank Talent.]

Lynn's eyes narrowed slightly.

A+ Rank.

Not bad.

Very valuable.

Particularly considering who Pietro would eventually become.

Unlike DC's Flash Family, Pietro's abilities weren't connected to the Speed Force.

His power originated from accelerated biological processes and exotic energy enhancement.

Different source.

Different mechanism.

Still useful.

Very useful.

Lynn looked toward Wanda.

"He can be saved."

The words hit harder than any miracle.

Wanda's entire body froze.

Then she immediately nodded.

Almost violently.

"Anything."

"I'll answer anything."

"Good."

Lynn adjusted his glasses.

"Who performed the experiments?"

"What was injected?"

"How many treatments?"

Wanda answered immediately.

Strucker.

HYDRA.

The Mind Stone.

Escalating dosage levels.

Experimental failures.

Everything.

She spoke rapidly.

Sometimes mixing English with Sokovian phrases.

Sometimes stumbling over words.

Sometimes nearly crying again.

But Lynn understood.

Every detail.

Mind Stone exposure.

Progressive augmentation.

Cellular destabilization.

An attempt to force further evolution through repeated Infinity Stone interaction.

Classic HYDRA methodology.

Crude.

Dangerous.

Predictably catastrophic.

After Wanda finished speaking, Lynn remained silent for several seconds.

Then nodded.

"Lay him flat."

Wanda immediately obeyed.

Pietro remained unconscious.

She carefully adjusted his position on the examination bed.

Legs straight.

Arms relaxed.

Lynn moved toward the surgical area.

Gloves slid onto his hands.

The system had already completed several treatment pathways.

He selected the most efficient option.

"Surgery begins."

Wanda stayed exactly where she was.

Lynn made no attempt to remove her.

Partly because her mental state was too unstable to be left alone.

Partly because he wanted her to watch.

Trust was easier to establish when miracles happened directly in front of witnesses.

The All-Seeing Eye expanded its analysis.

Pietro's legs became a microscopic landscape.

Damaged arteries.

Necrotic tissue.

Destroyed capillaries.

Dying nerves.

Everything visible.

Step One.

Remove the dead tissue.

Lynn placed his hand against Pietro's right knee.

The stellar thermal cycle activated.

Not maximum temperature.

Precision temperature.

Exactly controlled.

The heat spread inward.

Not burning.

Not cooking.

Not damaging healthy cells.

Only targeting necrotic structures.

Wanda watched in stunned silence.

The blackened skin gradually began changing.

Gray tissue disintegrated.

Necrotic cells broke apart.

Fine white particles drifted from the damaged areas like snow.

Layer after layer.

The dead flesh vanished.

Leaving healthy tissue untouched.

The process looked less like surgery.

And more like a miracle.
