[ 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.]

[ 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.

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

[ 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.

Ah, well, good to know. [A grin.] This place is the City. You have been witch-napped by the deities here.

Think of it as a rather pleasant vacation.

I was never very fond of vacations.

Or being kidnapped.

And yet neither of these things can be changed. There are plenty of very strong people here and they are stuck as well.

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?

[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.

I've been told I can't leave before. That time didn't stick either.

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.

[ 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.

[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.

[ 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.

Oh. [And some of that bounce dies out of him. It was weird not being recognised by the person he had sought and fought for. And even been hugged by.]

Okay.

[Where was he going to go with this? It wasn't going to be a family reunion.]

I guess we're from different worlds. It's happening a lot here...do you have any family at all?

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.

[ Oh.... now she feels kind of guilty. ]

I have my father, Magneto. And my brother and sister, Pietro and Lorna.

[ A pause.... ]

There's a place... where I have a child?

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.

I've heard of people staying longer than a year-- Mutants?

[ are you for real? ]

What kind of... mutants?

[ She is! A little guarded now. Are we going to have a problem? ]

People with genetic differences that grant them something that makes them unique to humans. The abilities differ from person to person.

[ he never has problems with ladies in red! ]

A group like that... [ this is all starting to sound a bit too familiar. ]

These genetic differences – were you born like that or were they--? No, I'm sorry, I must sound so rude.

[ Well in that case we'll get along just fine!

She softens a bit at that. He sounds genuine, not paranoid or cruel like others get. ]

It is a genetic mutation we are born with. I've not heard of people being able to create the mutations in people who are born human...

[Okay, it was a relief that some of it was the same. Otherwise there would have been a lot more awkward conversations to have.]

Would it weird you out of I told you I had a twin?

[ Blink.

Blinkblinkblink.

She not only has a child. But she has two of them? ]

I... I suppose you would get that from me...

[ her soft tone makes him lower his voice as well. ]

It's not common knowledge, but it has occurred more than once.

Where I come from... I assume we're no from the same world. There was a group of children who were genetically modified.
