Dark Designs Wanda has been having ominous dreams of a malevolent entity with her face wreaking havoc on alien worlds and worries she's at risk of going mad and evil again. She contacts her mentor, Agatha Harkness, for help, who thinks it might be related to Wanda's nature as a living mystic nexus and promises to investigate new sources of information on that front. The next day, Wanda is training her physical combat abilities with US Agent when a host of demons attack the WCA compound. The demons are searching for Wanda and have an apparent connection to the presence in her dreams. Recognizing their weakness to iron, the Scarlet Witch transmutes War Machine's armor to turn the tide of the battle, and the demons are driven off. However, her worries significantly escalated.
Touching base with Agatha, Wanda learns she's found a lead in a private library in an abandoned New England town called Unity. Wanda sets off to meet Agatha there, and together they delve into the mysterious church basement looking for old mystic tomes. Shortly after splitting up, Wanda runs into another occupant of the library. Declaring that he's been awaiting her arrival, the figure reveals himself to be a much more demonic revived Master Pandemonium.
