Moment of Awesome - Matt Murdock/Daredevil: Undercover as a biker gang, Matt and Wanda Maximoff get creative while highjacking a truck load of demonic weapons. "Roger," Matt replied, curious, but trusting that Wanda would knock it out. He could feel energy sparking around him, but what it meant, he had no idea. That was fine, he didn't need to know as he accelerated towards the cargo truck. Chicken wasn't perhaps the smartest, safest thing to do, but it was effective. And there was a reason he was known as Daredevil. There was enough charged energy in the air around them to make this work, Wanda knew. Much like kindling waiting for a lit match to be dropped, all it needed was a nudge or a guiding hand. Guiding the motorcycle with muscle memory, Wanda reached out and counted down to three, manipulating the strings around Matt and his bike, and the world, coaxing them to be in the right place at the right time. So that when his tire hit a piece of metal and threw up a spark, the world around him burst into flame. The roar of the flames in his ears was more unexpected than the heat engulfing his body even as he didn't feel burned. Strange. Analyze that later. Now, focus. The sound of the fire made driving the bike much more difficult and all his concentration was on that, though 'go straight' to get the cargo truck wasn't all that complicated. With luck, the truck wouldn't leave the road or something else equally random. Of course, he was also paired with Scarlet Witch. She was pretty good with luck. Just like she was with making the flames not burn him. Wanda's mind was a riot of ever changing lines as she pushed and pulled, manipulating the world around them. Her mind’s eye was guiding her every movement and thought, from the terrifying show of Matt on fire to her speeding along after the truck. She spared a moment to focus on the truck and noticed the brake lights flashing on and off - they must have just gotten a good look at the flaming spectacle racing after them. Reaching the truck, Matt veered to the side while still accelerating, forcing the driver to move towards the shoulder. He likely looked more devil than anything right now, flames dancing over his body. It was glorious. Leaning into it, he continued to try to force the truck to a stop off the road. They didn't know he wouldn't set their truck alight right now, after all.
