"You don't fucking say."

You were smirking, your eyes full of mischief, and you could feel the power that was radiating under your skin, pumping with every beat of your heart, rubbing your two fingers with your thumb, a wispy ball of gray appearing above the movement. They watched, completely mesmerized by what you were becoming right in front of their eyes, and you didn't know where to start, to be honest.

Wanda didn't look fearful of it all like you had kind of figured she might, but she actually looked impressed and quite proud, actually. Strange looked scared shitless, his eyes darting from your face to the movement of your fingers, debating whether he should attack – or, if he would even have a chance at being successful when in reality it would end with him dead on the floor before he could boom, boom, whoosh his ass out of this mess. And Peter, well, Peter was still munching, but he was chewing slower now as he got distracted by your dark gray eyes.

"Try to think rationally." Strange pleaded, putting his hand out, his palm facing you, and the corner of your mouth twitch as you eyed him.

"She is." Wanda insisted, coming to your defense.

"Blue or red?" You asked, eyes still on Strange and him and Wanda shot you confused looks so you huffed before adding, "Peter, what kind of Doritos you woofin' down and are you gonna share or what?"

"Oh, um...neither."

"What."

"They're purple...the chili ones." He grimaced and you put your eyes on him, glaring hard.

"I'm disappointed in you, kid, but you're cute, so I'll give you a pass," You were distracting Strange, but of course, he noticed the sparks of gray by your feet, so you hurried along as Peter grinned, and then you turned to Wanda, "You said you trust me, so do me a favor?" You nodded towards Strange, "Keep an eye on him and if he tries to follow me, kill him, okay? I'll be back, just need to see if something works."

"Sure, babe." She smiled with a firm nod, and you smirked as Strange's face paled when she easily agreed, making Peter raised his eyebrows.

Then you gave them all a cheeky wave, dropping into the floor where you opened a portal, and you hoped it would bring you into the universe you needed to check on – but with these new powers and your shit memory for that spell ages ago, it was – oh, fuck, what the hell?

"What the hell?" You muttered; dudes dressed in neutrals storming by you with purpose.

"Hello, there."

"...General Keno-"

"Wrong universe!" You laughed and just before they glanced your way, you plopped down again with a cringe, squeezing your eyes shut before you cautiously opened them again.

"Anddddd, action!"

You were behind a camera next to the operator, watching a very bright scene unfold as a group of guys started dancing before the music played. He hadn't spoken in English, but you knew bits and pieces of languages from just watching enough television and listening to random music to pick up on what he meant.

"Rock with me, baby! You know that I got that heat – lemme show you, cuz talk is cheap!"

"Dammit." You mumbled, stalling a little bit while you watched them, bopping your head to the beat, and then shook out of it before trying again.

There was a loud explosion, and you were suddenly on the side of a dark road, out of the way as a chaotic scene unfolded. But you just watched as a wild looking black motorcycle came from said fiery explosion and headed for some guy in the middle of the road with wide eyes. He had a knife down at his side and wet hair, but he kept licking his lips – dude was insane looking with the Halloween makeup, but who seriously brings a knife to a fight where another dude will just hit you with a vehicle? It piqued your interest, to say the least.
