[ The alias attached to the entry reads only Scarlet Witch, no name given. The alias is a relic, a token from the old days when she and Pietro shouted revolution from the rooftops. After HYDRA, Wanda didn't think she had anything to fear anymore. No cell could hold her, no bullets could touch her. Together, she and Pietro were invincible. No one could hurt them again.

Then, she came here. ]


today i have learned that in america, a hero is someone who grows fat and lazy off the praises that are given to him, but he has not earned. for this, a hero will give away his freedom.

[ Though she does not fear as she once did, Wanda doesn't accept the tattoo on her wrist easily. Rather than being gunned down in the streets, the masses of "imPorts" allow themselves to be cataloged and controlled -- even those that profess to be unhappy with their enslavement. They say things like, "it could be worse," using that to justify their own slothfulness.

It could always be worse. That doesn't make it right. ]


where i am from, the avengers are so high in their tower that humans appear to them only as little ants. the complacency i see here is worse, i think.

where do i find a true hero?

Succinct, even better.

But from here it looks like you've already answered your own question.

You may have to show them. Most had different occupations until recent...recruitment.

[ Avoidance really was its own kind of answer. This woman's future may just be interesting. ]

I worked for a man attempting to save the world on a less fantastical level than all this. And going from personal assistant to superhero isn't really a seamless career change. Or one I'm that interested in attempting when there are clearly more qualified candidates.

Faith? I'm not really the type. But putting on a cape in the front lines isn't the only way to make an impact.

So I guess I'll find those other ways.
