Wanda approached the main room on the floor. She assumed she would see fighting and fire and magical blasts from the scepter being shot across the room. Instead it was empty with broken glass on the side of the room that lead out to be public.

Wanda muttered something under her breath then walked over the the elevator. When it didn't work, she waved her hand and casted a hex, fixing the wiring in it and allowing her to go down to the main floor.

When the door opened on the lobby, that's when she saw the fire and magic blasts.

She had to step over an agent's body just to get out of the elevator. She turned her head as footsteps approached. It was Natasha.

"The elevator wasn't working for us." She commented.

"Someone messed with the wires." Wanda replied. "Do you know who's behind this?"

"Is it that hard to guess?"

Wanda gave a shrug and summoned her magic.

"Where's your brother?" Natasha asked.

"Uh I don't know. I figured he'd be with you." Wanda said.

Natasha gave a scoff.

"Wanda you're a lot of things. A good liar is not one."

Wanda turned her head and Natasha raised her gun, pointing it at the witch. Wanda sighed and allowed her magic to vanish.

"I didn't want him to get hurt. He's fine, in his room." She explained.

"You know he can handle himself right? What are you planning here?"

"Nothing!"

Natasha uncocked her gun and moved it down.

"We'll talk about this later. It's not your job to stop other's from fighting. Now if you truly want to help, we need to find Loki. We've spread out but it wouldn't be such a stretch to say he's teleported to another floor or has disguised himself as a SHIELD agent."

Wanda didn't reply, but magic reformed in her hands.

"I'm sorry."

Before Natasha could react, red magic grabbed her and threw her across the room. Before she could hit a wall, the red magic stopped her and just held her in the air.

"Really?" Natasha grunted.

She tried to grab her gun, but the weapons that she had on her flew out, red magic carrying them. Wanda then pushed Natasha against the wall with her magic and casted a hex to keep her there.

"I truly am sorry." Wanda admitted before leaving the room.

Natasha cursed in Russian, leaning her head back against the wall that she now couldn't move from.

Wanda made her way through the hallway of the lobby room. She heard something behind her move and she turned around, red magic grabbing a gun from one of the dead SHIELD agents and aiming it at whatever had showed up.

"So which team are you on then?" Loki asked.

Wanda rolled her eyes and the gun fell back to her ground.

"No one's team." She stated.

"Then how come you're helping me?"

"I'm not."

"Oh but you are."

Wanda glared at him, then he made his way over to her.

"Stop being so tense. You don't have to be on either side. You can happily attempt at holding both back." He stated.
