Wanda Maximoff, aka, the Scarlett Witch, is one of the most powerful mutants in the Marvel Universe, and for good reason. She has the ability to alter reality, though this often comes about when she's grief-stricken, or not thinking clearly. When the "House of M" crossover event concluded, she succumbed to partial amnesia, resulting from her reality-warping activities.

She's eventually found by Hawkeye, who finds her in a small European village, where she's living in a small apartment. She claimed she was sharing the apartment with her elderly Aunt Agatha, which was somewhat confusing, seeing as Maximoff's former mentor, Agatha Harkness, was very much deceased at the time.

Seeing her news as a bit baffling and disconcerting, Hawkeye attempted to investigate by seeing what was in Agatha's room. Being so small, the room was referred to by fans as her "closet."

When Hawkeye attempted to open the door, he was unable to do so, thanks to Wanda's reality-warping powers. There was nothing he could do, and the door to the closet remained closed. What, or who was inside, and why was Wanda prohibiting anyone from entering? This may be answered sometime in the future, but for now, it remains a mystery to Hawkeye and the readers.
