[closed to Wanda] you can't go wrong if your will is strong

[worldsaway]

[It is with some surprise that Thor accepts the offer to infiltrate the little town that Wanda is holding captive with her incredible magic. He's got some time to burn on Earth, but he'd stay as long as she needed him to.

His surprise is only for the fact that, although they've worked together for some time now they've spent very little one on one time. Not for lack of interest, when they speak they get along well and they have a surprising amount in common. The timing has just been difficult, since they started thinking of those stones and their powers and of problems beyond this realm.

Perhaps this is an opportunity. Perhaps it has come at a good time.

He wonders if she feels as lost as he does, as alone as he does. If he would do the same if he had her power, to exist in a reality without the pain.

With that in mind, he accepts and infiltrates.

In Wanda's mind, she sees that one of her neighbouring homes has a For Sale sign and then, suddenly, there's a SOLD sticker over it. Moving vans and moving men follow and soon there is a large, obnoxiously yellow Jeep with a surfboard strapped to the top on the driveway. It's seen better days, muddy and dusty like the owner must travel often.

One sunny Sunday morning, she'll finally meet her new neighbour. A tall, broad and thick man wearing nothing but a pair of red board shorts, his thongs and his sunglasses. His messy, blond hair pulled back into a ponytail and his scraggly beard desperately in need of a trim. He's washing the muddied jeep with a sponge and a hose with very little regard for how wet he gets in the process.

He gets the sense he's being watched and so he turns with the hose in hand a brilliant smile on his face.]

Oh! Hello there!

[ when the beekeeper had slipped inside of her hex, she had felt an ever so small shift in the so-called force. every little piece of westview is connected to her, whether she likes it or not. so when someone bigger—and stranger and not quite human—steps foot inside of her hex…

it feels very, very strange.

at first, she doesn't think much of it. monica had entered the hex and had been thrown out of it. a plane had snuck through and had rendered itself powerless. whoever has stepped through is not a threat. she doesn't think they're much of a foe, either. their energy doesn't feel entirely threatening.

she should've known it would only be a matter of time before one of them found her. then again, wanda had her money on clint.

wanda had every intention of leaving her neighbour be, but when she had glimpsed a very muscled back and a shiny car… she'd felt absolutely compelled to step outside and have a gawk.

or, you know… simply watch. observe. for script writing purposes.

staring at thor, she realises stupidly that he's an attractive man. while natasha had mentioned it a few times to the point of eliciting a blush from wanda, she hadn't quite paid attention. after all, her sights were set on someone a little more red and lanky.

but now that he's here—and very, very much in front of her—wanda can't help but stare. she walks down her driveway until she's wandering over towards him, feeling very much like the neighbour wanting to greet her new hot one with a warm smile and long before agnes thinks to even catch a peep of him.

her eyes widen for a moment as she goes off-script before she lifts her hand in a small wave. ]

Hi.

[ and then she paints on a wide smile even though she's not entirely sure where to look. at his neck? nope, not there. thor has a very nice neck… his collarbones? god no. she thinks that they could slice a titan in two. at his abs… she'd rather close her eyes. so, after a long look at his chest that she hopes he doesn't notice, she looks up at his face.

safe… except he has very nice eyes. ]

Do you think you can wash my car after you're done?

[ isn't that what the neighbours always say? she thinks so. she's never had a car and a neighbour at the same time. ]
