Chapter Text

The New York skyline shined in the sunset of a cold autumn. However, amid the towering skyscrapers, an oddity stuck out like a sore thumb: a large factory, mostly light brown in colour, but featuring many glass panels and swirling chimneys of blue and red on its roof, and the name ‘Wonka’ was practically plastered on every section.

The factory had only popped up recently, but it had become the talk of the town. Supposedly, it was owned by the ‘Wonka corporation’, or ‘wonkacorp’, which had produced some of the best confectionery items in the world. However, a certain team of all-female heroes had grown suspicious, and so they deployed to go and investigate.

Leading the squad was captain carter, proud Brit and world-famous super soldier.

Serving as her second-in-command was the proud lawyer-superhero, Jennifer Walter’s, aka: the she-hulk

And accompanying them was infamous red room agent and super spy Natasha Romanoff, the black widow…

Jessica drew, the spider woman…

Tech genius and mech pilot, peni Parker…

The ever bright and bubbly squirrel girl, Doreen green, and her sidekick tippytoe the squirrel…

Both veteran interstellar hero carol danvers, captain marvel…

And her stretchy inhuman sidekick and biggest fangirl, Kamala khan, ms marvel…

And last but certainly not least… The ever-eccentric, 4th wall-breaking gwenpool…yeah, she kinda just tagged along.

“So this is the place” Jennifer asked, rubbing her hands together. “Doesn’t seem all that special.”

“Even so, be on your guard” Peggy replied, keeping her shield close to her chest. “There’s no telling what’s waiting for us.”

Gwenpool, who had just finished blowing a piece of pink bubblegum, popped it and started chewing.

“Eh, say what you want Madame Britannia~!” The pink-and-white punk stated in a somewhat mocking tone, “but get the feeling the viewers at home are gonna have a real treat tonight!”

Natasha gave her a confused look. “…who is she talking about?” She asked.

“Eh, you learn not to question it” Kamala replied, shrugging her shoulders.

Eventually, the team reached the gates of the factory. However, before they could even touch the gate itself, a voice came over the speakers: “My, oh, my! Finally, I’ve been waiting forever for this!”

peni quickly looked at a holopad on her wrist, attempting to hack into the speaker system to find where the voice originated from, but to no avail: whoever their cybersecurity guys were, they were good

Suddenly, the gates burst open, revealing a curvaceous woman with multicoloured hair, a somewhat manic yet childlike glint in her eye and a staff in her hand, wearing a gaudy outfit of various pastel colours.

“My name is Wanda wonka!” The lady exclaimed with a voice of pure glee. “And I welcome you to my humble candy!”

The entire team, who had immediately jumped into defensive stances, slowly dropped their guard as they quickly assessed that the woman, while certainly eccentric, seemed to mean them no harm.

“Wanda, huh?” Peni muttered to herself before asking “you wouldn’t happen to be relayed to Wanda maximoff, would you?”

Wonka chuckled as the question before replying, “oh, heavens no, dearie. Though I guess I can see why you’d assume such as thing!”

“Well…ms wonka” carol danvers said to the lady. “It’s a pleasure to meet you. Forgive us for the intrusion, but we had suspicions about the factory.”

“Ohhh, it’s nothing to worry about my dear interstellar captain~” wonka replied with a bounce in her step that caused her cleavage to bounce. “I completely understand, I’m fact, this whole thing has given me a wonderful idea: how about I give you gals a tour of the factory?”

Initially, the members of the team were hesitant: they had no idea who this lady truly was, nor what she was capable of. However, there was one member that was really chipper about it:

“Will there be peanut brittle!?” Squirrel girl asks with such joy that even wonka seemed taken aback before replying with:

“Why, of course! In fact, I have a whole room of the stuff!”

And at that, squirrel girl squealed like a child who just got told she was going to Disneyland. And before any other heroine could convince her otherwise, she bolted past the factory gates.

“…dammit” was the only thing coming out of captain carters mouth as she and the rest of the team perused their chipper squirrel friend.

However, as they passed through the gate, the world around them shifted. The factory seemed to warp and altered, going from the standard beige factory they all originally saw…to an absolute kaleidoscope of colour and shapes. It looked as if someone had designed a building while in the middle of a simultaneous sugar rush and crack overdose.

And at the sight of this absolute OSHA violation of a building, the only thing gwenpool could say was…

“Why do I get the feeling the fans at home are getting real happy right now?”
