Moment of Awesome - Wanda Maximoff/The Scarlet Witch Rescuing her little sister Lorna and her fiance from their father Magneto, Wanda holds back an angry Magneto to give Lorna time to escape with Alex. She spared a glance at what remained of the filing cabinet and knew they were out of time. Wanda lunged forward, wrapped an arm around Lorna's waist and, with a surge of power, slammed her foot down as hard as she could on the weakest part of the floor. She felt pressure from behind her as the metal closed in but then the floor caved in and they were sent tumbling down into the room below. "Shield!" Wanda yelled, unsure of what was below them. Lorna knew that she wouldn't be able to stop the bands, she wasn't in control - no matter how hard she was pressing. When Wanda's arms came around them, Lorna gave one last push with the metal objects towards their father before she felt herself falling. "Hold on." Lorna's hands came up to grab hold onto Wanda's arms as she slowed their descent down, with shields up and landed softly. "He is going to follow." Her eyes shot up to the hole in the ceiling. Wanda's eyes followed and she turned back to Lorna. Gripping her gently by the shoulders, she gave her a gentle push. "Go," she said, shaking her hand when the younger woman started to argue. "No, you need to find Alex before his powers destroy the building or harm anyone. I will buy you as much time as you need." Lorna nodded before hugging her sister, "I'll come back for you. And thank you." She pulled away before she broke out into a run in the direction of the makeshift holding cells. Turning back, Wanda opened the flood gates to her powers. It wasn't the same kind of explosion that she'd let loose after Simon had died but it was more than she normally operated with. This, she thought, gazing up through the hole in the ceiling, was going to be the opposite of fun.
