Wanda Maximoff was many things: a twin, a sister, a girl with many undiscovered powers at her fingertips.
But never call her an Avenger. They are to blame for her brother's death in their home of Sokovia.
Having refused to stay in Avenger care, Wand...

Helena did not mind heights...when she was safe in a plane. But this, being abducted by this...robot, she minded a lot. She should have ducked when fellow New Yorkers had done the same.
Then again, how was she to know the robot wanted to nab her?
Helena fought against the robot's grip. The streets, cars, streetlights, stoplights, you name it, were growing smaller the higher the two flew. I may go skydiving, but I'm not being abducted like this. She doubted her power could subdue or kill a machine, and she definitely didn't want to risk sending a plague on all that were watching her being taken.
Helena searched for Wanda frantically below in the small specs. She couldn't find the witch anywhere. Wanda, you're my only hope. I don't want to become a sidewalk pancake. Please!
Helena screamed as the robot continued to fly her higher into the sky. Birds cawed in surprise at the two of them. The robot paid the birds no mind. It seemed so focused on taking her away that it did not speak to her.
"Put me down!" Helena insisted.
The robot did not look down at her, but responded, "I am trying to save you. Wanda Maximoff is a danger to society."
This is about Wanda? "No, she's not! What—who are you?!"
"I am here to help you."
"That's definitely not what I asked. Put me down!"
"Not until we are in a safe location."
Suddenly, a red blast broke Helena and the robot apart.
Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Helena freefell, screaming every second she could. She refused to look down below, she was already on the verge of vomiting from the sudden drop.
I might just die. I'll go splat on the sidewalk, or on the roof of a building. Maybe someone will break my fall. Why couldn't I be given the ability to fly?!
Something caught Helena in her pursuit of hitting the ground. Her breath got knocked out of her.
"I've got you."
Helena gasped in surprise. Despite being held in both arms, Wanda Maximoff kept them afloat in the air. If Helena's heart didn't slow down, she would've kissed the witch for catching her. What a cliché moment to think about kissing a girl.
"What—what is that thing?" Helena rasped, her body trembling from the sudden adrenaline.
"We need to get out of its sight. Hold onto me."
"Not a problem." Helena held onto Wanda tighter for emphasis.
Despite being relatively high in the air, Wanda slowed her flight speed down. Helena didn't dare look down at New York. I wanted no attention, but I just got a lot of it from people down below. Great. Her attention wouldn't be for her powers but rather being abducted by a green and red robot who thought Wanda was a bad person.
