During one such encounter, a battle with the sorcerers known as Salem's Seven, the Scarlet Witch used accumulated magic energy to become pregnant by the Vision, and she later gave birth to twin sons, William and Thomas.
When the Scarlet Witch and the Vision choose to return to active duty as members of the West Coast Avengers, a multi-government force called Vigilance, concerned the Vision would again attempt a world takeover, captured and dismantled him; although he was soon rebuilt, his personality was severely altered, greatly distressing the Scarlet Witch.

Wanda also sought the help of the witch Agatha Harkness to help control her mutant powers (the Scarlet Witch causes the impossible to happen 80% of the time by creating what she calls "Hex-Bolts" and "Hex-Spheres."

The Scarlet Witch, as well as her AWC teammates formed a new group, Force Works, with her as the leader (which didn't exactly make sense, since Iron Man provided funding and everything else).
