Maeve and Wanda make their way to the common area. Wanda splits off so she can make some popcorn.

Natasha sits up from laying on the couch to make room for the other two women. Maeve takes a seat next to Natasha, bringing her legs up to sit criss-crossed signaling she will not be moving from this spot.

Natasha hands Maeve the remote, "Since it's your first official movie night here, you get to pick!"

Maeve takes the remote from Natasha but her face drops a bit. With nothing but concern in her voice Natasha lovingly puts a hand on Maeve's arm, "What's wrong? I thought you'd be excited for movie night.."

Maeve gives Natasha a sad smile, "Remember when you and Macy would have your movie nights? You guys used to sneak me out of my room so I could stay up with you guys.. I just miss her Nat.."

Natasha pulls Maeve into a comforting hug, "Hey, it's okay. We'll find her. I already have a pitch to throw at Tony when he gets back. We're going to do everything we can to help you. Now let's pick out a movie and chug some margs, yeah?"

Maeve gives a small laugh and chooses She's All That (1999) because, "It's the ultimate chick flick. Freddie Prinze Jr. and Rachael Leigh Cook, doesn't get much better than that!"

Wanda returns from the kitchen with some jiffy-pop and three margaritas (bless her powers) and Maeve pats on the open spot next to her so she'll sit there.

Per usual, Natasha fell asleep 30 minutes into the movie so Wanda and Maeve were just enjoying each other's company. Maeve points out her favorite outfits and music used for the soundtrack. Wanda giggles when Maeve reaches the punchlines in time with the movie. Laughing, Wanda asks, "How many times have you seen this?" Maeve shrugs, "I honestly couldn't tell you."

The final scene starts rolling and Maeve stands up and puts her hand out, "Dance with me?" Wanda giggles, "It's the end of the movie, we're going to miss it!" Maeve grabs Wanda's hand from her lap and pulls her up and starts to spin them around, "They dance, they kiss and the credits roll. See you didn't miss anything!" They laugh as they dance to Kiss Me and they take turns dipping each other.

Their laughter eventually wakes Natasha up, looking confused at the women but ultimately smirking, "Never thought Maximoff had some moves. I'm going to bed, I'll see you tomorrow morning?"

Once Natasha started speaking the girls stepped quickly away from each other. Maeve speaks up first, "Uhh, yeah.. Sounds good. Night Nat!" Wanda waves, "Goodnight!"

As Natasha makes her way to her room she smiles to herself thinking, "I knew it.."

Maeve looks at Wanda, a little embarrassed that Natasha woke up, "I can make more margaritas if you are down to watch another movie?" Wanda smiles and takes her seat back on the couch, "Maeve, if I ever say no to margaritas I probably have a fever!"

Maeve returns Wanda's smile, "Good to know you are as passionate about tequila as I am! One pitcher coming right up!"

Maeve makes her way to the kitchen, humming Kiss Me thinking about how much fun just being around Wanda is. "She really is beautiful. We're about to start working together though... I shouldn't have a crush on her, I barely know her. But that smile, she's amazing. Oh I'm in trouble." Maeve is pulled from her thoughts when she hears Wanda's voice, "What movie do you want to watch next?!"

Maeve, walking back to the common area, "Silence of the Lambs? It's a classic." Wanda gives Maeve a tight lipped smile while she takes the drink from her, "I've never seen it..." Maeve takes a seat next to the redhead, "Umm, please tell me you're kidding!" Wanda laughs at Maeve's expression, "I'm serious! I've heard of it but never seen it." Maeve reaches for the remote on the footrest, "Okay, we're watching that."

About mid-way through the movie and about 10 Jodie Foster impressions in, courtesy of Maeve, Wanda asks, "So, essentially Clarice Starling is a 23 year old interviewing a cannibalistic doctor, who sees her as a friend? And he has insight on who the killer is?"

Maeve laughs at how Wanda simply broke down the movie, "Dr. Lecter is actually a genius when it comes to psychiatry, he understands the way Buffalo Bill works purely from the reports Clarice has given him. He doesn't necessarily see her as a friend, he respects her because she holds up her end of quid pro quo. I think she is supposed to be on the younger side to show how impressive her accomplishments are." Wanda nods, accepting Maeve's answer.

Two pitchers of margaritas in with 10 minutes left in the movie, the girls are sitting so much closer than before. Wanda, watching Buffalo Bill reach for Clarice's hair, turns her head, placing one hand over her eyes and places her hand on Maeve's thigh signaling she was a little freaked out. Maeve chuckled at the woman's reaction and blushes a bit, "Wands, I promise this scene is one of the best in cinematic history, you gotta keep your eyes open!"

Wanda reluctantly removes her hand and faces the TV again. She looks to Maeve for comfort, which she instantly feels looking into those blue eyes. Maeve gives Wanda a smile before they both turn their heads back to the TV.

Once Clarice pulls the trigger Wanda shouts in excitement, "Fuck yeah!" Maeve laughs at the woman's reaction. She gets up from the couch with their glasses and pours the rest of the margarita pitcher into the glasses. Returning to the couch, she hands Wanda her glass and sits next to her. As Clarice answers the phone call to speak to Dr. Lecter, Maeve watches Wanda in awe. Maeve can't help the butterflies she feels while watching Wanda so interested in one of her favorite movies.

As the credits roll on the screen Maeve gets up to grab them a blanket from the other couch and comes back to see Wanda laying down with her head on the armrest. Maeve smiles at the woman getting comfy in front of her, but of course in a sarcastic tone, "Where the hell am I supposed to sit Maximoff?"

Wanda returns Maeve's smile, "I guess you'll have to take the floor Marx."

Maeve pouts but sits on the floor, wrapping herself in the blanket, "Fine, but no blanket for you then!" She has the blanket over her head, kind of similar to how E.T. did and Wanda can't help but laugh at the girl's antics, "Get up here, you can be the little spoon."
