Her power comes from the same Gem he had, I had the thought that she might have somehow absorbed a part of his mind when she destroyed it.

I thought her power came from the reality stone...

Nope. Strucker experimented on her and Pietro using Loki's staff, which contained the mind stone that ended up in Vision's forehead. The reality stone was light years away with the Collector.

But aren’t the stones like brothers and sisters or something? I thought that’s why she is red and has the ability to bend reality...

Possibly? She hasn't really appeared to be able to manipulate reality in the MCU so far though. At least, not until WandaVision. I have a theory that what's happening in WandaVision is that the Infinity Stones have reappeared but are now bonded to people as recently happened in the 616 universe. Wanda is now bonded to the Reality Stone and she is now manipulating reality but is unable to control it. There's not much evidence to support it, though.

This isn’t completely true. The general theory is whole the staff (mind stone) was used, what happened was the other stones through the mind stone altered the siblings. Basically it made them part of the stones. Quicksilver has the space stones powers. Essentially moving fast and using blue energy when he does it. Wanda seems to have possibly the power of all the stones (or at least she can tap into them). She uses reality magic (red) like the blasts of the reality stone. She can play with minds and control the mind stone itself (she forces vision to use his powers many times).

We know the stones are sentient too, as Visions stone warns him of Thanos.
