first hex | video

[ The video feed opens on a young woman sitting on the edge of the fountain. She looks very firm and hard set as she addresses the camera. ]

I don’t know what is going on here, but if this is a kidnapping attempt someone has made a grave mistake. I won’t be coming easily and trust me, you’ll wish I was easy on you when I’m done with you.

[ A look around at the buildings and… sigh. ]

I’m also open to the possibility that something else is at work here. Regardless of what it is, I refuse to be limited by it. It would be nice to get some information, though. This looks like some sort of odd city, none like I’ve ever seen. If this is so then I understand it may not be simple to leave this place, but if there’s a way in there has to be a way out, correct?

[ Looking back at the camera now, a tad more relaxed. ]

My name is Wanda Maximoff, also known as the Scarlet Witch. If you are listening to this and you are an ally, find me and we will work something out. If you are a stranger, I ask for any assistance you can grant me. In time I hope to be able to repay the favor.

Thank you. [ Feed ends. ]

But are you a good witch or a bad witch? [Just the most innocuous question ever.]

[chaoswitch]

[ This is seriously the strangest question she's ever gotten. Just give her a moment to wrap her head around how to even answer. ]


I suppose I'm a good witch, if those are my only options.

permavid

[doeswhathewants]

Well, I suppose those are not your only options. So on a scale from the Avengers to Doctor Doom, where would you rank?

[chaoswitch]

[ That makes a little more sense. And something she understands too. ]

Just shy of Avengers. Admittedly my concern for others does not spread to the entirety of the world as theirs does.

The way out hasn't been found yet, I'm afraid. [ he actually sounds apologetic. ] You'll have to sit by and wait like the rest of us.

... "The Scarlet Witch", eh? Are you part of some team?

video

[chaoswitch]

Yet. There is always time to change things. [ At least he's not outright saying it can't be found. ]

I used to be. I am still more commonly known by the name.

[merespark]

There won't be a lack of time, I can tell you. I've been here almost two months now.

May I ask what kind of a team it was? There are a lot of teams around here.

[chaoswitch]

Two months is too long. At least I can devote my time to one cause.

It was a team I regret being a part of in hindsight. We did more damage than good, though I had always hoped we were doing good. I was wrong. It was a team of all mutants.

[Billy apears on the video faster than anyone can say supercalifragilisticexpialidocious]

Hi Mom, [Yup it's out of his mouth super faster okay. But really he isn't thinking about her looking a little younger or anything.]

There isn't a way out that anyone's found. We are sort of stuck here with deities and a lot of weird curses.

[Video]

[chaoswitch]

[ WOAH WAIT hold on a sec. Deities and curses? Sure she can handle that. She knows of Lokis and Thors and such already and hello. She has her own hexes~


But did he just call her..... mom?! ]

I'm sorry, but I think you have me confused with someone else.

Re: [Video]

[lovesthecape]

[Oh shit. He doesn't swear even silently usually. But this kind one of those times it's okay because this is going to be weird. Is she from another world like the Avengers were he doesn't exist?]

No. I uh, [And there is a sheepish grin.] At home your definitely my mom. I'm Billy.

[Video]

[chaoswitch]

[ She has a soft spot for kids, so at least she's not acting aggressively but...

This is beyond what she's used to handling. ]

I'm sorry, Billy, but I have no children. Nor have I ever had a child.

[awildhulkling]

[ Hey future Mother-in-law. ]

Hi, has Billy found you yet?

audio;

[chaoswitch]

[ OH GOD things she's not ready to cope with yet. ]

Yes, he has.

You are... one of his friends? [ He doesn't look like a twin. ]

audio;

[awildhulkling]

[ He doesn't know what to say. It really isn't his place, especially if he's right and Wanda doesn't remember them. ]

Um, yeah. Something like that. Are you all right? Do you need help?

It's a little bit like a kidnapping, but not for any reason you'd suspect. I think the Deities are just bored.

voice;

[chaoswitch]

[ AHEM excuse me she is quite sane! atm... ]

I wish this was the first time that reason for kidnapping me has been used.

[debrief]

The Scarlet Witch? [ A beat. ]

I think there is at least one person here who knows you. Welcome to the City, Ms Maximoff.

[chaoswitch]

Ah... you mean Billy, yes? [ She's had that awkward encounter.... ]


Thank you, Mr....?

[debrief]

Yes. [ Something in her voice tells him that did not go as well as Billy might have expected. ] Do you know him as well?

Coulson. Agent Phil Coulson.

[godoftricks]

The assistance I grant you will be that of warning.

[ From the waterballoons in his hands. He has no idea where they keep coming from , or why he's enjoying them so much, but there isn't any word another hiring him. ]

I have you in my sights.

[chaoswitch]

[ .....

Oh.

My God.


This is so not happening. She just got here!!

She takes a step or two back, looking half poised to turn and bolt as she glared at him. ]


I suggest you think twice about what you are about to do before you regret your decision. [ Her hands are all glowy and red now. ]

[godoftricks]

[ Oh, how interesting. He hadn’t been expecting quite that sort of defence. Perhaps these projectiles had usage beyond mere fun.

He wants to see what she can do, so he kindly requests information in the most expedient way available to him.

He smiles, and throws the first balloon rather forcefully, directly at her face.

Well, he did warn you, Wanda. ]

voice;

[hexuality]

[Can't blame this witch for sounding a little amused as she teases,]

You didn't happen to Sort into Gryffindor, did you?
