i haven't been so good
but right outside the door
nobody knows

Wanda walked the quiet halls, carefully stepping incase of any lurking guards.

"Wanda." A voice called out.

Wanda turned around quickly, her hands and powers ready for attack, yet she saw nothing but a dark narrow hallway.

She walked through hesitantly, looking around subtly with deep breaths.

"Wanda take out the light show." The voice commented again. "It's just me."

The voice was deep and sinister, only making her force stronger. "Where are you?" The girl finally called out to the ominous person.

"Right behind you, honey." Wanda felt a hand on her shoulder from behind her, causing her to viscously turn around in caution. Standing before her was a man she didn't recognise. He smiled an evil grin at her.

"The famous, Wanda Maximoff I've heard so much about. A hero, an avenger!" He sighed deeply, acting proud of the youngster standing in front of him.

Wanda conjured two red energy lights in her hands, her palms facing each other to her side, before pushing the man away with one swipe of her hand.

The man was moved back but recovered rapidly, looking as if the attack didn't affect him at all. "Save your energy. Who you really want to fight is your little friend."

"Lana? Why would I want to fight her?"

The man only laughed at this. Yet when Wanda didn't give up the stern look, the man looked at her with realisation.

"Oh, you really don't know?" He looked amused. "We have something you may want to see." He shrugged.

"Why would I ever trust you?"

"You don't have to. I just think in honour of Pietro you shouldn't be hanging around the girl that murdered him."

Wanda's eyes widened, taken aback by these casual yet threatening comments, she shook this out her head with doubt.

"If you don't believe me you can just see if for yourself."

Wanda knew Lana wasn't a monster, no matter what they had gone through she wouldn't do that. Lana was compassionate and sensitive and even if they were apart for years, she was sure she knew Lana.

"The footage is a bit graphic, right in front of you as well, I thought that was a bit harsh but, I don't know Lana as well as you must do."

She didn't know if she should trust the man, but she also knew she would be able to take him out if needed.

"I want to see it."

The man's eyes slightly widened in a delighted manner, smiling softly at the girls words. "Okay."
