"No. She's just asked who they are after appearing suddenly."

Permalink

"We should start making our way there, but maybe not try to spook mystery super."

Permalink

"Lorica agrees."

Meanwhile, Wiccan reflexively smiles at the strange woman. She seems familiar, but the thought's sliding out of Wiccan's mind -

"Sorry. We're no one important, just looking for someone who got split up from our group."

Permalink

"Your group?"

Permalink

"Just me and my friends! We're traveling Europe, apparently neglected to charge our phones."

Permalink

"What's the name of your missing friend, then?"

Permalink

Wiccan opens her mouth, then frowns, then presses the heel of her hand to her forehead - "I don't want to tell you that - I know you - "

Permalink

"Wiccan is reporting a cover story in response to questions, but claims she knows the stranger."

Permalink

" - Is Wiccan behaving weirdly at all - "

Permalink

"Yes, she seems confused, maybe disoriented."

Permalink

"Jet, get me over there - "

Permalink

"Right."

And zoom -

And it's like she hits a brick wall.

The strange woman has a hand up, keeping them from approaching. "I see you found your friends."

Permalink

"She noticed," the bot reports to the rest of its group, "and intercepted Jet and Loki. No aggressive moves per se so far."

That's just Jian.

"Great. Just great. I'd bet we found the Scarlet Witch but I super don't want to be right."

Permalink

"Lorica says, 'wasn't that the point?'"

Permalink

"I was kind of hoping we'd find her body. Or nothing."

Permalink

"She's concerned that the person who may or may not be Scarlet Witch is causing some mental effect, to which she and I are immune and you may be out of range. She suggests you stay out of range for the time being."

Permalink

"Yeah. Sounds legit."

Permalink

 

"Ma'am, is everything okay?" says Lorica, attempting 'neutral'.

Permalink

"You're Americans. You're not Doom's. You're looking for me, aren't you? I don't want to be found."

Permalink

The others seem confused - except Loki, who stands.

"Professor Maximoff. We'd wanted to talk."

Permalink

She frowns, seeming disoriented suddenly.

"Do I - know you?"

Permalink

"I was your student for two years, and I damn well remember shooting you to end that world you made."

"We don't want to fight, though, we just want to talk, and we'll leave you to keep hiding afterwards if you want - "
