"No worries, you too..."

She nods over to Cross, and steps over to him. She jerks her head to indicate "come over here if you want in on this", and a shimmer appears around her.

She's telling the truth, no-one's getting perma-Metatron'd out of this unless multiple willpower saves are failed unless you'd really like to make it happen that way.

He walks over to her, interested piqued.

*Engie drone watches whatever Alpha is doing with obvious interest.*

The fact that only 140 characters are allowed here is honestly so disappointing to me.

Pietro walks over to Alpha as well, wanting in on what she was about to do.

Wanda waits for Alderoth's response.

Alderoth looks at Wanda.

"I'm eternally grateful for your constant support..."

He then looks at Alpha and looks curious.

"Umm... what is she doing?" he asks no one in particular, although he seems to be talking to Wanda as his gaze is fixated on her.

"What can I say, you're worth the world to me," Wanda says to Alderoth, smiling at him. "And I think Alpha's about to show Pietro and the other guy what it's like to have Metatron inside you without actually infecting them. Should I give it a shot or would you rather I just watch?"

Pietro waits for Alpha to do her thing.

The shimmer of Metatron energies grows brighter, and in the minds of anyone affected (including Wanda should she decide to step forward at the last minute), she'd start to seem like a mystical, almost "transcendant" figure, a prophet to be revered...

"Don't touch me while I'm running this. I can't guarantee it wouldn't try to take a chance."

The usual Metatron whispers would start up, about how the Will of Metatron is One and All would be One, but they'd sound appealing, like such a state of events is natural and desirable, and underneath it would be a crystalline humming, almost like a song...

The nearby buildings would (appear to) start to shimmer with light like Alpha's, and beautiful crystalline growths would start to appear on them, turning them from ordinary stone to shining crystal palaces, and all through it the Will of Metatron would whisper and sing, rendering All One in Truth and Purpose...

...and then the song would end, the light and crystalline visions would fade, the whispers would cease, possibly leaving behind a sense of loss depending how deep the others got into it. The light fades away around Alpha, leaving only her ordinary self, wearing a serene smile she quickly shakes off into her usual good cheer.

From the outside, someone unaffected might think they see auras like Alpha's (but much fainter) appearing around everyone affected, but they'd fade before they could blink, and be so faint and brief that they'd wonder if they'd seen anything at all.

"I... don't know..."

I'd say go for it, Karras mentally says to Wanda.

We can easily fix the problem if it goes downhill, so yes, you should give it a shot.

I'm staying neutral.

Alderoth then sees whatever Alpha is doing, but makes no visible reaction, save for the fact that his eyes shimmer grey for a second, although from the looks of it, he doesn't really regard Alpha as a higher figure.

"Whoa... that was actually kinda... beautiful, in a way," Pietro says to Alpha. "Y'know, even if the whispers were kinda trippy."

"Well, Alpha just finished it up," Wanda says to Alderoth. "So unless she feels like letting me have a second chance to experience it, I think I may have missed my chance."

Alpha chuckles. "Y'see? It's not all about blowing stuff up and brainwashing people after all..."

I can't even imagine the kind of technologies that could be built with it, either... harnessing its power, but in symbiosis rather than exploitation...

"Alpha. Nice to meet you."

Alpha can and will do... something similar if Wanda decides she did want to do it.

The faintest hint of disappointment can be seen in Alderoth's eyes, but it vanishes quickly.

"Well, you could ask Alpha again some time soon... or I could help you have an experience, but, umm..."

Alderoth immediately trails off.

"You should just go ahead and ask her again. If anything goes wrong, I'll be here to help."

"The pleasure's all mine."

He moves over to a nearby house, and leans against it. Pulling a pencil from behind his ear and a pad of paper from his pack, he starts to write things down.

"You've got that right," Pietro says to Alpha. "Though I don't plan on being infected with it any time soon, if that's alright with you. Still, thanks for that experience, Alpha."

"What, you think you might accidentally infect me if you try a demonstration like that?" Wanda asks Alderoth, glancing briefly at Alpha to see if she'd be willing to give a repeat performance.

"Hey, that's fair enough... plenty of places for Metatron to grow, after all... but it would be nice if you stopped running around smearing our name..."

She catches Wanda's eye and nods, smiling, to answer the unasked question.

-to engie- "I temporarily extended my Metatron resonance and focussed it into them, without leaving enough residue energy to persist. In layman's terms, they saw through my eyes for a moment. There won't be a lasting effect."

"What? I'm not smearing its name. That's what Gamma and the other psychotic cultists are doing," Pietro says to Alpha.

"Well, if you say so," Wanda says to Alderoth before she walks over to Alpha, motioning for the Summoner to follow her as she looks at the Daughter of Metatron. "Okay, Alpha, I'm ready when you are."

"True..." Alpha says, in a tone that suggests there's a bit more to it, but...

The Metatron aura forms around her again, and with the resonance more focussed on one person rather than spread across the general area, Wanda's experience would be slightly more powerful and a bit shorter, but much the same.

Alderoth follows Wanda, and smiles reassuringly at her.

"I'll be here, alright?"

Then he looks at Wanda as he sees the aura briefly, but soon shakes his head off of it.
