The Penguin backed up slowly, one hand gripping his umbrella the other gripping a dagger. He had landed here in fog before waking up in some type of giant lizard staring down at him with such hated filled eyes. “ Come near me and I’ll gut you like a fish” He spoke clearly and strongly hoping the creature would just back down. To his great dismay it only seemed to enrage his enemy, he quickly moved just barely missing the strike of the craws sinking his dagger within the Lizards belly cutting it completely open. As Oswald looked down at the horrible creature panting a bit due to the strain on his leg when he heard the rustle of the leaves behind him, he moved to a fighting stance to prepare himself for on coming attack before noticing it was not another creature but a person. “Did you send me here? if so it will be the last mistake you make”

wanda remains surprisingly calm through the display, but when the man turns to speak to her, her expression changes.  her lip curls, and the anger she feels starts to make her eyes glow with a tinge of red.  “ i have felled far more intimidating men for speaking to me that way, ” she warns, cocking her head.  “ i have not sent you here, but if you would calm down then perhaps i would be inclined to help you. ”

“Now I got it. Wanda had never had a girl pal at all!”

“I really wish she hadn’t,” Natasha sighed. But Wanda was right, this new situation they were in didn’t just add new vigilantes, but a lot more problems as well. “And how have you been adjusting to all this? I don’t know about you, but I find it very…uncomfortable to be in situations I haven’t prepared for.” 

    “ i’m alright, actually.  believe it or not, this isn’t exactly my first trip to another world.  reality, rather.  i just haven’t figured out the way home yet. ”

A laugh, small shrugging of her shoulders. “A pretty face doesn’t hurt.” Neither did spending years in the underbelly of the word city in the country, learning how it worked because she got kicked around its corners. Because it was learn or die. 

  wanda cocks her head, observes selina without pretense.  expression blank, wanda searches selina’s eyes for a moment.  she wonders, a little, how many times selina has practiced these lines.  selina doesn’t strike her as -- fake.  only false.  there is something oil-slick about her that leaves a saccharine taste in wanda’s mouth.  “ i’m sure people could argue that a pretty face does hurt, occasionally. ”

“sure you are, lady.” the young blonde teased, her lips ripening in a smile before she scooped another helping of the meal into her mouth. felicia chewed the food thoughtfully, pondering on it to leave the woman and her question on edge. then, tauntingly, she swallowed and pursed her lips. “yes, alright,” she said tonelessly, glancing up at the woman before a wicked gleam twinkled in her eye, her pout curling up into a smile. “k i d d i n g- it’s good. really good. aren’t you going to sit?” 

felicia is a pain in the ass if wanda has ever met one.  and she grew up with pietro, so wanda’s an expert in pain in the asses.  but, regardless, there’s some sort of endearing quality about her, too.  wanda can’t truly be annoyed.  with a roll of dark eyes, wanda sits down in the chair opposite her feline companion.  “ i’m glad it doesn’t offend your oh-so-refined palate. ”

“ that’s what i’m sayin’.  you don’t disrespect dibs.  that’s like — on par with a cardinal sin. ”  when the door swings open, tommy’s smile widens at the sight of his mom.  “ hey ma, you didn’t think i’d forget, did ya? ” he teases, leans in to give her cheek a quick peck & then proceeds to extend the gift towards her.  “ happy mother’s day.  though, don’t eye the gift too much, alright?  you’re not allowed to open it until after dinner.  are you good to go or do ya’ need a minute??  and since it’s your big day, i’m even willing to wait two! ”

wanda accepts the gift, and the smile that spreads across her face is so pleased and wide that it almost hurts.  complacently, she puts the gift down on the counter.  tommy doesn’t get away with the quick peck on the cheek, though.  she pulls him into a tight, embarrassing hug that ends with kissing him firmly on both cheeks.  her son, as she has always suspected, is an angel.  she’s immeasurably lucky that the universe can rearrange itself so haphazardly and she still gets to have him around.  “ i think i’m fine.  just let me grab my jacket. ”

anthonyxstark:

Perhaps this was going to sound impossible, and in truth it was, but he still wanted to hear what she had to say. ❝I heard someone refer to you as a nexus being, is it possible you can restore our reality?❞

   a sigh passes dark red lips.  “ potentially, yes.  but the -- the amount of energy that would take is unbelievable.  if i tried to do it on my own... ” she trails off, feels a little nauseous just at the thought.  “ i could destroy both realities, commit another atrocity in my long, shameful list, or rip my own mind to pieces irreparably. ”

[nexvsbeing]

cvtscrvtch:

Selina chuckled, a light sound. It was a dangerous question, and the truth was a wicked sharp blade. But she’d learned to avoid the truth a long time ago. “You want something, you take it. That’s how Gotham works. The trick is not getting caught, and all that takes is wit.” 

   wanda’s days of thieving are far behind her, frankly.  she was never a thief by trade, simply by necessity.  never gotten a taste for it.  thievery, in a way, had killed her parents.  except, not really.  mobs were always looking for an excuse.  “ you must be very full of wit. ”

( @nexvsbeing // happy mother’s day !!

     tommy’s giddy with excitement, the gift he’s carrying being tossed from one hand to the other as he waits for his mother to answer the door.  “ hey ma !!  if billy’s in there trying to kidnap you for the day, remind him that the declaration of ‘dibs’ is sacred  & should be respected !! ”

the knock on the door startles wanda, but she moves towards it quickly.  though, not quickly by speedster standards, surely.  “ why on earth would billy be trying to kidnap me --? ” wanda calls back as she unlocks the door and lets tommy in.  oh.  she had nearly forgotten the day ( dates, like names, go in one ear and out the other ), but the reminder has her suddenly choked up.  “ hi, sweetheart. ”

           ‘ being an avenger has it perks but it also has a downside. ‘

   “ it’s still the best gig i’ve found, though.  so i suppose i don’t have much room to complain. ”

the blonde nodded her head, picking up her fork and allowing herself to poke at the food, inspecting it. when you were a wanted criminal, trust wasn’t your greatest strong suite….and being as felicia liked to push this woman’s buttons, it wouldn’t be a surprise if there was more than just lasagna on her plate. “an elder,” felicia laughed after she had chewed a piece of the food, not tasting anything funny, assuming it was safe. “ i’ll treat you like an elder when you look like an elder. what are you, twenty-somethin’? early thirties? ”

    “ oh, who remembers exactly ??  i’m -- older than i look.  my children are in their twenties, if that gives you any indication.  and technically they should be well into their thirties, but magic is a pesky thing.  is the food alright ?? ”

I don’t know about you, but I find it very…uncomfortable to be in situations I haven’t prepared for.” 

   “ my life is one chaotic disaster after another.  as far as i’m concerned, this is just a relocation.  albeit one that has put an unimaginable strain on the fabric of reality. ” 

[nexvsbeing]

russianspydcr:

“Careful, she’s a complete menace,” Natasha warned, although Liho’s big eyes and soft purring tried to prove her wrong. With a sigh of defeat, she turned the tablet to show Wanda the files she was reading. “There’s a lot of vigilantes around now, I’m updating my database. Things were much easier when the only people I had to know about were public figures and spies.” 

   “ and now there’s a whole new world to worry about, too, ” wanda adds, tearing her attention from the cat for just a moment so she can look at the files for a moment.  “ well, at least your familiar came with you here. ”

🔥     “i came for your beauty, but stayed for the palm reading.” danny laughed as he did as he was told and sat himself down beside her. wanda had been someone that danny admired and respected without a doubt even before he had met her. so, to say his opinion had only escalated after getting to know her was an understatement. crossing him legs under him, he smiled in amusement. “it’s been too long and as per usual, so much has happened in that time. but, seeing you is always welcomed. now– please tell me that’s a genuine smile and you’re doing well.”

   “ of course it’s genuine !!  i’m happy to have your company again.  especially if your company means i get so many compliments, ” wanda teases.  “ what about you ??  how have you been ?? ” 

[nexvsbeing]

nxtathief:

“ don’t tempt me, “ she taunted, “ -but honestly, i was just bored. i’d love to eat some food and not-make-fun-of-your-romantic-life.” then felicia, smirking at the woman, slipped into the seat across from her and allowed pearly white teeth to grip at her lower lip, resisting an amused laugh. “what is it?” she inquired, referencing to the food. 

   “ it’s garlic, squash, and spinach lasagna, ” wanda answers, shaking her head at flicia.  “ i’m an old woman, you’re required to be nice to me.  as an elder. ”

[nexvsbeing]

anttman:

                ‘ do any of us not have sleeping troubles? i feel like we all do. ‘ 

   “ i think that’s probably a prerequisite for being an avenger. ” 

[nexvsbeing]

cvtscrvtch:

Her guard went up, and Selina resisted the urge to grin. Good. Self-preservation instincts that strong would serve her well, no doubt already had. Women like this could keep secrets. Women like this weren’t to be tangled with. “Sounds very dramatic and fancy.” 

   “ it is, ” wanda agrees, smiling just a tad now.  “ and what about you ??  how did you learn your trade ?? ”
