Moment of Awesome - Wanda Maximoff/The Scarlet Witch
Coming across Quentin Quire researching a potential tattoo, Wanda is horrified - and furious - at what he's thinking of.
Wanda stared down at him and made a decision. She was getting nowhere with him and this was, after all, an open secret and possibly the only thing she could think to get something through to him. Her position on the man her father had become firm but the idea of Quentin or anyone tattooing those numbers turned her stomach. If Wanda had to 'name drop' to get him to actually think... "A+ for not failing your most remedial history class," she said slowly, "however, you get a failing grade for mansplaining not only the Holocaust to a Rom whose people were also slaughtered but also to the daughter of the man who bears those numbers." It was not often that Quentin Quire was at a loss for words, but Wanda quite effectively shut him up with just those few of her own. He gaped at her in a mixture of awe and horror. Magneto had a daughter. His daughter was here. Why the hell was his daughter here and not with him, saving the world? When he finally found his voice again, he crumpled up the papers on his lap and pulled down his sleeve. "He knows you're here, with Chuckles?" he asked, keeping his voice steady. "Yes or, at least, I would assume so." Wanda's anger was slowly leaving her and all she felt abated was exhaustion. "He brought me here, you know, when I manifested. I spent my summers here." She held up her free hand. "And I do not have the energy to explain exactly why I eventually returned so please do not ask." It was past time to go but before she did, she said one last thing. "Regardless of who he is now, Erik's suffering in that death camp is his pain. The only person who can turn that and use it for whatever they want is him. Piggybacking off of someone else's suffering and pain cheapens what they went through." |
