⚠️ WHOOP, CODE RED!! 🚨 Hey, you! Yeah, you, the person who is younger than 18! The minor who read the warning in the book description in the very beginning but disregarded it because it's a Wanda Maximoff fanfic (Can I blame ya? We're gay for her, lol). PLEASE READ CAUTIOUSLY because there's sexual stuff in this chapter. Just read cautiously or just skip and protect your virgin eyes! ⚠️

The late summer air of Milan warmed Jade's exposed skin of her face as she strolled along the brick ground of the city. She had her cloak hood over her head, keeping her somewhat in disguise. She had nothing with her but her catsuit. She had to take a burner phone instead of her own phone just in case the government was tracking her. The only real communication she had was HUEY, but she had to disable his tracker. The only thing the A.I. could do was talk to her.

She was practically alone.

She tensed up as she heard footsteps from behind her; they were running towards us. She glanced over her shoulder, ready to attack if they dared laid a single finger on her, but they ran past her. She released a deep breath, walking back on her path. She had been exploring the middle of Milan for an hour, having no luck in finding the four fugitives of Team Cap.

"Perhaps, they are on the outskirts of the city," HUEY guessed, theoretically. "To avoid being seen in a populated area."

Jade huffed as she scanned her surroundings, not seeing anyone else near them. It was late at night, preferably when everyone was getting ready to go to bed. She slid her hood off of her head, letting her ombré braided hair show. "That's not what they did when I ran into them in Manchester."

As she carefully rounded the corner, she immediately stopped walking when she heard footsteps approaching her from behind again. This time, the person didn't run past. Jade had made an uneasy expression before she rushed into an alleyway, plastering her back up against the brick cold wall.

Jade wished that she could teleport like North. She sucked in a breath when the footsteps slowed their pace, and Jade anticipated the worse as she saw a shadow show up on the brick building across from her.

Jade slowly lifted her hand, using her molecular kinesis to carefully and silently raise the metal trash can lid in the air. She dangerously and rapidly slung it against the corner of the brick building. It clattered, producing a startling noise that indeed scared the person coming towards her. The person fell back, and Jade emerged from the alleyway, her hood placed firmly back on her head, keeping her identity safe.

Her eyes scanned the figure with the help of the moonlight and the streetlights. Their long strawberry blonde hair draped over the female's shoulders. She wore jeans and a long blue-green coat with a matching beanie.

Wanda grabbed the trash can lid out of survival instinct and threw it at Jade like a frisbee, meaning to hit her. Jade dunked right on time, jumping up as she twirled in the air, her foot knocked against Wanda, causing her to fall back down.

Wanda clenched her jaw as she remembered all of the techniques that Natasha had started to teach her over the last two months. She swung punches at Jade's form, but the ombré haired girl dunked at each blow. She blocked one of Wanda's arms and kicked her away from her. Wanda pushed herself back up, glaring at a hidden Jade. She charged towards her, ramming her body against Jade's, and the younger girl crashed into a phone booth with a thud. She groaned in pain, the air being knocked out of her.

"I don't know who the hell you are, but I insist you stop following me before things get ugly," Wanda ordered, her Sokovian accent completely gone as she marched towards her.
