Elizabeth's P.O.V

It had been a long day of moving into my new house. I took notice of the girl that was "secretly" trying to watch me as I got out or my car earlier. I couldn't help but laugh to myself as I went about my day. There was so much to do and to unpack. It looked like a tornado went through my house but I knew it would all come together.

A few hours later, the movers left after setting up all the big furniture. I only had some boxes to unpack and then I would be completely settled in. I was standing outside on my front porch when heard what sounded like punching and heavy breathing. I looked over to see my neighbor in her garage going to town on a punching bag.

I couldn't help but admire how graceful she looked while hitting the bag. She seemed to perform with ease. I watched her for a moment when she suddenly stopped and grabbed some water, taking a short break it appeared before walking over to her treadmill. I looked away suddenly remembering I had stuff to unpack, and although I wanted to meet her, I didn't want to interrupt her routine.

So I went back inside and unpacked some boxes in my living room. I caught a glimpse of her through my window and shook my head at her dedication to running in place. I honestly could never. I thought to myself. I was in shape but treadmills weren't my thing. Being in the marvel movies I maintained a healthy workout routine but I don't think I've ever touched a treadmill in my life. The thought seemed daunting.

About a half hour later I noticed she was laying on the floor of her garage just looking up at the ceiling. I thought this was the perfect time to go introduce myself. Walking out of my house I headed over to her driveway and made my way to the garage opening. She didn't move an inch. She must really not have any worries out here.

As soon as I reached the garage opening I stopped and stared for a moment before speaking.

"Hey Neighbor."

Really Lizzie? Hey neighbor? That's the best you could come up with? I mentally scolded myself for sounding so dumb. And then the girl sat up. She looked familiar. I knew I had seen her somewhere before. But where?

She looked puzzled for a moment but her eyes were wide like she couldn't believe what she was seeing. I figured she'd recognize me but at the same time I'd hoped she wouldn't.

"Hey yourself." She let out in a deep almost throaty voice. It fit her. Very well.

"Sorry for bothering you, I saw you working out and thought best to wait till it looked like you were done before introducing myself." I said with a smile

"It's no bother at all." She smiled back

"I'm Elizabeth Olsen. Your new neighbor, obviously." I chuckled

She looked at me quizzically for moment. Almost like she was trying to piece together who I was or where she'd heard that name. I waited patiently for her to respond.

"Avengers. Right? You play Scarlet Witch." She said nonchalantly almost like it didn't faze her that I was a famous actress. Oddly making me like her more. She was cool and collected. She had tattoos all over from what I could see. She seemed to not have a care in the world.

"Yea haha that's me." I said with a smile

" I thought so. I uh don't want to freak you out or anything but I'm kind of a marvel buff. I grew up reading the comics and watching the films. I was a little nervous when they announced that they were bringing scarlet witch into the movies cause I wasn't sure who would do the character justice. But I have to say I am very impressed with your portrayal of her. You play the role very well." She says with a almost shy look on her face.
