"Will! Will! Will!" I say as I try to shake him awake. When Will wakes up, he looks at me and sits up. "Oh, thank goodness you're okay!" As I hugged him, Vision also woke up and looked around. The three of us saw that a circus had come into town.

"What happened?" Will asks.

"Wanda expanded the barrier. She must've figured out what we were doing." I say.

"Oh, great." Will sighed as I helped him up. A man in a blue leotard approached us.

"You're the new clowns?" He asked us. "At least you're already in makeup." Will and I looked down at ourselves to see we were still in our Halloween costumes. "You're late for rehearsal with the escape artist. Come on." When the man walked away, we saw Darcy, who was chained up.

"Can I help you, creeper?" Darcy asks

"Can I help you, creeper?" Darcy asks.

"You don't remember us from last night?" Vision asks. "We locked eyes. There was an unspoken understanding."

"Um, hard pass," Darcy says, taking off the chains. She started to walk away.

"No, wait. Wait up." Vision says as we follow after Darcy.

"Hello? Excuse me. Uh, you tried to help us." Vision says as we follow Darcy.

"Doubtful. I'm notoriously self-involved." Darcy says.

"No, no, no. Please. Just hear us out." Will says. "All right. We believe that you were part of a team monitoring a supernatural anomaly. And now...well, you're in it."

Darcy sighed and looked at Vision. "Fine. I'll go out with you, but I'm ordering the lobster." She walks away. I tried to look for a distraction to stop Darcy and saw a mime practicing one of his acts.

"Oh, no. Look, that mime...his tray is getting too heavy." I say, pointing at the mime.

"Oh, your bad back!" Darcy says to the mime. Vision comes up behind her and touches her temple to wake her up from Wanda's control. "Whoa! Okay. Ooh." Darcy stumbled but regained her footing after waking up from the hex.

"You're awake?" Will asks.

"Ooh, uh, yeah," Darcy says.

"Are you alright?" I ask.

"Oh, hello, self. You know, part of me secretly wanted a guest spot on the show, but seriously, that sucked." Darcy says.

"Look, uh, what is your name? Your real name?" Vision asks.

"Darcy Lewis."

"Dr. Darcy Lewis. Will and I intercepted a communication regarding your work." Vision says.

"Hey, the lions just got off stage. You're up." The man in the blue leotard says to us.

"Dr. Lewis, we have questions," Will says.
