Agatha reveals that Wanda’s children were born out of her desire to have a normal home, making manifestations of Wanda’s will through a combination of magic and her mutant powers.

Because her power cannot create real life, she stretched unconsciously to catch anything that would function as souls for newborns.What caught, still much weakened by their recent separation, was two of Mephisto’s missing pieces. ! ”

The future danger
The keepers of time tell Immortus that his only duty was to eventually transmute a certain Nexus creature – the Scarlet Witch – into a source of power.
