For Wong and Cherry if you want :)

The lights in the Sanktum dimmed. A rush of wind rattled the windows, as a flesh of red caught in the corner of their eye.

Someone was watching, lurking in the shadows. To the left a pair of pots fell off the wall. They clang together but didn't hit the floor, caught and stayed aloft by a soft crimson glow.

"Sorry. I didn't intend for that to happen." A familiar voice told them from exactly the opposite of the room. The shadow dissipated and revealed the Scarlet Witch. No longer adorned in garments and a crown, but regular clothes, jeans, sneakers a long cardigan that reached her knees. Red energy glowed in her hand as she lifted the pots and hung them back to their original place, standing there awkwardly.

Wong frowned as the hair on the back of his neck stood on end. Would there never be a moment of peace? Cherry and himself had been enjoying a quiet conversation as she finished cleaning a couple coffee cups.

Quiet moments like these were Wong's favorite. Just a little slice of domestic bliss as the sun came through the windows reflecting in the soapy water in the sink. The smell of coffee and the lemon cleaner Cherry preferred to use still hanging in the air. He was close enough to smell her perfume; vanilla and florals, a warm undertone of musk, as he stood by her elbow. Cherry rattled off a couple things she wanted to go into town for, turning her face to him and for that moment the world stood still.

A moment was never long enough as the windows rattled and the lights flickered. He put himself between whatever was happening and the soft woman without a thought, dark eyes keen as he tried to pinpoint what was happening when several of the pans closest to the rattling windows were dislodged, but they never hit the floor.

Wong felt his jaw tighten so hard he thought he'd crack his teeth as a young woman manifested. He'd know her even without her crown and garments.

"You've got a lot of nerve showing up here," He growled, hands raised, ready, his mind already racing on what spells to cast. "What do you want?"
