Some of the Avengers and X-Men managed to remember, and they fought against Magneto's family. I'm not sure of all the details, but they won, and Magneto and Pietro were fighting, and Wanda... she was upset.

To take away the powers of a million people in a single moment is something so big, so terrifying, he can't even fathom it.
It couldn't have been her. He refuses to believe that. But whatever caused it was obviously stronger than her, and that meant it was stronger than him.
And that meant it could happen to him, and he has no idea how to stop it.]
