Magic Maketh (Wo)Man

@stephenstrange-sorcerersupreme

Wanda Maximoff was nervous. She looked at the clock. It showed a steady 6:00 am. Might as well get up, she thought. She didn’t want to wake her sleeping kitten, so she got out of the bed as quietly as she could, using her magic to keep the little black ball of fur from moving too much. She couldn’t be late to her first day of training with Dr. Stephen Strange, Sorcerer Supreme. 

He’d studied his craft, read books, refined spells. Next to him, Wanda felt inadequate as a witch. Her power had always been with her, innate, almost a force of her own sheer will. She had to learn to control it. The consequences otherwise had already proved disastrous. 

She watched her sleeping cat for a moment as she calmed herself. It would not serve anyone for her to be so anxious over nothing. She ought to be excited. She decided to remain firmly neutral. Shattered expectations wouldn’t be helpful either, she reasoned. 

She made herself breakfast, ate and got dressed. She decided to forgo her headdress. There was no value to it beyond the sentimental and to identify her as the Scarlet Witch. She wasn’t the Scarlet Witch today. Today, she was Wanda Maximoff and she needed to see a doctor. Someone who could teach her how to refine her skill, control it, instead of it controlling her. Someone who could help her fix the chaos that was her magic. 

At seven am, she was pleased enough with her appearance that she decided to go. It was just under an hour’s walk to the Sanctum, just enough time to let her be alone with her thoughts as she went.

As she walked, she sang a song, an old Rroma lullaby that Marya would sing to her and Pietro. The walk was pleasant enough and she smiled when she finally arrived on the steps of the Sanctum Sanctorum. 

The doors opened of their own accord as she reached the top step, and she took it as invitation to walk in.
