  Summary

  Wanda Maximoff confronts Tony Stark at his lakeside retreat, seeking answers for the trauma tied to Stark Industries' weapons. What begins as blame slowly unravels into reluctant understanding. Both carry scars, hers from loss, his from grief and detachment. As truth surfaces, they find closure not through forgiveness, but through clarity. In the end, they share one thing: a solitary hatred for Obadiah Stane, rotting in his grave.
