[3rd POV]
Turns out her shop was just as she remembered it in Earth 616, except there was more room for books, and even some mystical tomes. She realized that a lot of these were from Earth 616, so she had to do the rather annoying process of warping the space in the room, making it so that the bookshelves would change from normal to mystical ones at her command, that way no one would try anything with all the magic books she would have had in there normally.
Even the front of the shop had been the same, with its clean and simple design.
The inside of the shop wasn't too big, but it was homely and she was pleased with its overall look. Especially since sitting behind the counter was comfortable and let her read as much as she wanted without having to worry much.
She also made "Dimensional Doors" in Washington D.C, Gotham, and decided to add one more in Metropolis. They hadn't been too difficult to make, just more annoying than anything, as she had to make them in areas that no one would see, and that she could do so without having to deal with cops or anything.
This was all accomplished through magic, magic that was a lot stronger than it was...different. She realized it once she started to warp reality and conjure books from her memory, finding that her chaos magic was a lot stronger than before. It was like she could use both the chaos magic of Marvel AND DC, as if she was a Lord of Chaos herself.
She was already likely the strongest magical user in this entire multiverse, but now that she could use DC chaos magic as well? Wanda had no idea how powerful she even was anymore, and quite frankly, she didn't care to find out. All she cared about was opening up her bookstore, and that is exactly what she was doing now.
Sitting behind the main desk where customers would check out, Wanda breathed in and smiled, as she flicked her wrist, the open sign forming at the window, as she leaned back and sipped on her tea, waiting for the first customer.
_______________________________
'...This is problematic' Wanda thought, as she looked at her first customer, someone that she had recognized very well as Dick Grayson, aka...Robin.
He was browsing the comic section specifically, as using her knowledge from her past life on Earth, she had recreated certain comics, primarily the Walking Dead and Invincible ones. His eyes were scanning the invincible ones the most.
"Are these like custom comics or something? I've never heard of "Invincible" before" Dick asked, as Wanda smiled.
"They are. I wrote them myself. But are you sure you wish to read them? They are quite graphic" Wanda replied with a nod, as she did change the names of the author to herself, which was a bit wrong, but she wanted to share some of her favorite comics from her first life here so...sucks to be them.
"Alright, I'll get these three, and yeah I can handle it, I've watched tons of horror movies that are way worse than anything you can put in here. Oh, do you have any books on quantum mechanics?" Dick asked, as Wanda raised an eyebrow before humming.
"Okay then, and yes I believe I do. Let me check the back" Wanda said as she walked into the "Back" which was actually just a room full of books that she hadn't put out, before walking back out and handing the teen the book.
"Basics of Quantum Mechanics, by Reed Richards?" Dick muttered, not knowing the name by heart, while Wanda just smiled amusedly. She had remembered the book from her life in 616, and decided to make a copy of it, as Reed was the smartest man she had ever met, so it's likely the book would be a good introduction into the science.
"Alright, I'll take this too. How much will that be?" Dick asked, as Wanda tallied the total.
"That'll be 40 dollars please" Wanda said, causing Dick to blink at the price, before forking over two 20 dollar bills.
"No receipt needed" Dick said, as Wanda smiled.
"Well then, have a nice day" Wanda said as the teen walked out of the store, the bell ringing as he did so.
Putting the cash away, she smiled excitedly, happy to make her first sale in her new shop. At the side where the Invincible comics were taken, another took its place moments later, a red glow forming the comics as if Dick had never taken one.
_______________________________
On the other hand, Dick was at home, reading the Invincible comics with interest, finding that it was...good, really good. This world had a lack of proper comics, most of them centering around the Justice League, and cliche heroes and villains. Whereas this...this was new and different, and he was enjoying every moment of it.
"I gotta show the guys this!" Dick exclaimed after finishing the second issue.
"Dick?" A mans voice called out, as Dick looked up at the man that had taken him in, Bruce Wayne, aka....Batman.
"Yeah Bruce?"
"What're you reading?" Bruce asked as he entered, noticing the comics laying on his bed next to him.
"They're some new comics I bought at this new local bookstore" Dick said as Bruce raised an eyebrow, before noticing another book.
"Basics of Quantum Mechanics by Reed Richards? That's quite advanced, you sure you're ready to learn it?" Bruce asked, flipping through the book upon noticing that he had never heard the name, wanting to make sure it was legit.
"Yeah I'm sure! You should come with me next time, the store owner has tons of different types of books, even ones on different forms of martial arts" Dick said, as Bruce read through the book, eyebrows furrowing upon noticing the things it was teaching.
"Dick, where did you say you got this from?"
"Some new bookstore called the Emporium, it opened up a block away from my school in this dingy little alley. The insides nice though, why?"
"...Can I borrow this book for a little while?" Bruce asked, as Dick tilted his head before shrugging.
"Sure, just get it back to me in a few days" Dick replied, as Bruce gave the teen a nod before walking out.
The second he did, he glanced back at the book again 'This "Basics of Quantum Mechanics" is more than just basics, it's on a completely different level compared to what other books teach. Whoever this "Reed Richards" man is, he should be more well known with a book like this one, and yet...he isn't' Bruce thought, deciding that it was time to sit down and read through the book, all the while, one thought on his mind.
'Emporium huh...seems I'll be visiting it soon'

Back with Wanda, she was finishing up with her last customer for the night, a kind older woman who wanted to read a murder mystery novel, which Wanda had given her 2 different ones that she bought.
As she flipped the sign to "Closed" the door opened with a small ding.
"Sorry, we're closed" Wanda said, glancing up only to stop as she looked over the 4 men that stood in her store.
'Go figure' Wanda thought with a sigh, as the men grinned, looking over her figure with lecherous grins.
"Look, I'll let you all go scot free if you just leave. If not, you won't be leaving at all" Wanda said bluntly, as she really couldn't be bothered to deal with them right now. She wanted to make dinner and read some of the local comics.
"Lookie here bitch, we won't kill you if you just take it nice-" "Alright, I've heard enough" Wanda cut the man off with an eye roll, as in the next instant, a crimson glow formed around each of them just...disappeared from existence, soul and all.
"...Hopefully that doesn't make Death mad" Wanda muttered, hoping that the destruction of their souls wouldn't make her mad.
She wasn't sure if Death could even do anything to her, but she'd rather not test the theory. Mostly because she'd rather read and sell books than fight some nigh-omnipotent entity. That, and it'd probably destroy her shop which would be a bitch to fix.
'Well seeing as she hasn't shown up and tried to kill me, I think we're fine' Wanda thought with a shrug, as she flicked her wrist, the magical barrier surrounding the shop, not allowing anyone but her to enter anymore, as she made her way upstairs, ready to eat, all the while, she had one thought on her mind.
'I wonder who'll come tomorrow?'

So...yeah, the poll was very obviously one sided in favor for this fic, so here you go! She's got her first customer in the form of Dick, who had wandered around a bit and found it. Batman is now interested in her and her shop, and she's killed a few...annoyances.
Who should her next customer be?
Anyways, have a good day!
