"Ha!" Izzy yelled as she thrusted her hand into the air, her purple powers launching towards Olivia's stomach and throwing her across the training room. Before she could hit the wall, her foot kicked against it and she pushed herself off, flipping her body over and landing with one knee on the floor along with her hand and her other arm held outwards. Izzy sighed, rolling her eyes.

"Such a poser."

"You really thought you could beat me with those?" Olivia said, standing up and gesturing to Izzy's hand.

"I'm still working on them. I don't want to kill you."

"You couldn't kill me if you tried."

"Oh really? Well how about," The purple orbs sparked between her fingers as it expanded through to her palms. With her right hand she formed a fist, lifting her arm as the purple sparks laced around Olivia's midriff, levitating her off of the ground. With her left hand, she swiped her arm, tipping Olivia onto her side, "I do that."

"What're you trying to do? Send all the blood to my head."

"No." Izzy's fingers began to tremble as the orb grew larger, until both her hands swiped swiftly to the wall at the side of them. Olivia had no time to think before she smashed against brick, falling to the floor with a loud thud.

"Are you sure I can't kill you now?" Izzy asked, cocking her brow. Olivia pushed herself up off of the ground, looking towards her best friend with a cut lip and bleeding brow, a bruise beginning to form on her forehead.

"F-Fuck." She whispered, her voice raspy. Izzy ran over, helping her best friend stand to her feet, running her thumb across her brow and taking some of the blood with it.

"I'll get the first aid kit."

"I'm fine."

"You could be bleeding internally!" Izzy yelled as she walked away.

"That's where the bloods supposed to be- ah, nevermind." Olivia shook her head and brushed Izzy off, walking over to the bench where her water bottle was.

"What're you two doing in here?" A random voice broke out, causing the two girls to panic. They both spun around and had their wide eyes meet before looking over to whoever had walked into the room.

"Maximoff." Olivia said in a formal tone, folding her arms.

"Rogers." The witch replied, before looking to the Izzy, her best friend. Then it clicked, and she flickered her gaze between the two.

"Are you two training in here without your father's permission?"

"No!" The two lied. The stretch of her enunciation caused the skin around the cut on Olivia's lip to widen, making her wince slightly.

"You took a few good hits." Wanda chuckled to herself, earning a death glare off of Olivia.

"She threw me into a wall!" She yelled, pointing to Izzy. Wanda's eyes widened slightly, staring at Izzy in disbelief.

"You did this?" Wanda asked. Izzy sunk her shoulders in panic, worried she had upset Wanda or Olivia. Or worse; both.

"That is...awesome!" The two girls cocked their heads in confusion. This wasn't the reaction they expected.

"I didn't even know you had powers let alone that you could do that with them!"

Izzy beamed a prideful smile and held out her left hand, sparking the purple flame-like powers in her palm. Wanda rushed over and clenched the girl's wrist, marvelling at the lilac beam. She then lifted her own hands and let the red rupture from her skin, holding it close to Izzy to compare the two.

"They're the exact same..." Wanda muttered while observing the powers. Izzy smiled slightly, then looked over to Olivia, who was drinking from her water bottle, swooshing the water around in her mouth and spitting out the now red liquid.

"I'm going to head out, I have homework." Izzy said, diminishing her powers and grabbing the towel she used to mop her sweat, skipping out of the room, leaving Wanda and Olivia.

"So...you two think you can become avengers?" Wanda questioned, slowly wandering over to Olivia.

"Oh, you think just because we train in here means we want to be like you?" Olivia spat back.

"What're you training for, Rogers?" Wanda smirked and tipped her head to the side smugly. Olivia drew silent, bring her hand up to wipe the blood that dripped down the side of her eye. Wanda took a few quick steps forward, taking Olivia's hands away from her face and replacing them with her own.

"Just life in general. When your dad is known to be a criminal with a shield you don't know what can be thrown at you."

"And Izzy?"

"Her Dad is very cocky. People might think she's the same."

"I can see that happening." A few of Wanda's powers flew onto the side of Olivia's head, healing the cuts over into scabs or scars. She dropped from her tip toes and sighed pleasantly.

"There you go. All healed."

"Thanks..." Olivia trailed off, touching the fully healed skin of her lip and brow.

"Do you want to train properly now?" She asked, a mischievous grin on her lips.

"What?" Asked Olivia.

"Hold on." The witch walked off and out of the room, leaving Olivia on her own, until a face popped in from around the door frame.

"I forgot my water bot- hey your wounds are healed!" Izzy beamed, walking over to Olivia.

"Yeah, Wanda...did it...somehow..."

"That's fun." Izzy grinned. Olivia opened her mouth to speak but was silenced when Wanda returned, holding Steve's shield. Olivia's eyes widened in shock while Izzy's mouth dropped open.

"T-That's my dad's-"

"You really want to learn how to fight? Here." Wanda threw the shield aimlessly to the other side of the room. Olivia thrashed out and pushed Izzy so she could run and step onto the edge of the bench, using her feet to push her up against the wall so she could kicked herself back. The shield drew towards her like a magnet to metal, with it easily slipping onto her arm as she landed in the same position she did when she was fighting Izzy. Only this time the shield mostly covered her body, apart from her eyes which peeped over the top.

"Such a poser." Wanda tutted, earning an agreeing nod from Izzy.

"What do we have to do?" Olivia asked, holding the shield close to her body.

"Izzy and I will aim for you. All you have to do is dodge it."

"Right." She said skeptically, noticing the excited grin on her friends face.

"Are you going to like...aim-aim for me or just sort of...pew pew?"

"You'll know." Izzy smiled.

Olivia stood back away from them, holding the shield up as the two conjured up their powers. It was a series of Olivia jumping off of things, using the shield to protect herself and have the powers bounce off the vibranium. Eventually she managed to travel closer to the two, with Izzy flying upwards to get a better angle. Wanda had stopped by this point and let the two fight. Olivia held her shield over her head, deflecting a beam of Izzy's powers only for it to shoot back into her leg, making the girl drop to the floor. Before she could hit it, red laced around her and stopped her, letting her stand up by herself.

"You two really have been practicing." Wanda nodded, amused, "I would say you're even better than some of us."

"My dad's a super-soldier and hers is a playboy, genius, blah blah blah."

"Billionaire and philanthropist." Izzy corrected.

"Too bad you got your shield taken away." Wanda teased, making Olivia stir with annoyance.

"I'll get it back soon enough."
