*Mimic was tired of flying and landed on the sidewalk. Hie fixed his bag on his shoulder and kept walking. He stretched his wings before retracting them and walked down the street.*
"Man, nice little place here. I might stay here for a while. People don't seem to be too freaked out about mutants."

Wanda was headed home from a job interview she miserably failed at one of the downtown cafes. Things had gone so beautifully until the manager conversationally asked her about her family, and suddenly every glass salt shaker in the place exploded.
Turned out the manager didn't support evolution and asked her to leave immediately before he called the police.
She was fuming, so she barely caught what a man she passed on the sidewalk said about 'freaked out about mutants', presumably to himself. She did hear him however, and loudly scoffed on her way by.
"Better get out while you still can, pal..." she muttered quietly.

*Mimic saw her and turned.*
"The entire world hates us, I've come to terms with it. Now why is such a beautiful woman so angry?"

Wanda's eye twitched.
Is he trying to flirt with me?!
She rounded on him, eyes flashing. "So glad you've accepted your fate to be censured everywhere you go in this world. But inner peace doesn't bring in paycheques very well, now does it."

*Mimic smiled.*
"No, it doesn't. That's why I usually don't get my money.....legally if you will. My name's Mimic."
*Mimic extended his hand.*

Wanda glanced down at his hand, then back at his face. She didn't offer hers, but her features did soften ever so slightly into a more sarcastic expression. "Scarlet Witch." she replied.
He reminded her very strongly of her teammates.
"I know where you'd fit right in around here."

"And where is that? Hopefully somewhere near you."
*Mimic winked and let out a small chuckle. Then suddenly his face got serious.*
"Wait, Scarlet Witch...as in Magneto's daughter?"

Oh for the love of-
She rolled her eyes and started back on her route home. "Yes... cower mortal..." she said dully. "I'm the big scary daughter of the big scary mutant. Big scary deal."

"No you don't understand."
*Mimic unleashed his claws and ran in front of her.*
"I owe your father a little payback! It's because of his I rotted in jail. It's because of him I'm a felon. I've finally found him!"
*Mimic slashed a light pole with his claws and it fell into the street. He retracted his claws fixed his composure.*
"As for you being the big scary daughter. Well I agree you're the daughter. But big and scary and the adjectives I'd use."
*Mimic winked.*

Wanda watched in shock as the streetlamp tumbled to the ground in pieces, sliced like a stick of butter with a hot knife.
She thought only that Wolverine guy from the X-Men could do that! How did he- Mimic... Something clicked in her mind and Wanda deduced what this mutant's powers were.
He copied the powers of other mutants. Well, that wasn't really all that new to her since Rogue could do the same thing. But still, this guy had something against her father, so that made him dangerous. And she sure as hell wasn't going to lead this guy right to him.
"Listen pal! I haven't had too great of a day today, and the last thing I need is a whack-job like YOU showing up and threatening my family!" Wanda shot her hands out and aimed a large hex-bolt at Mimic's feet, causing the concreate beneath him to lose all traction and become even slipperier than black ice.

*Mimic used Iceman's power to make his feet ice and stood on the ice.*
"Listen here Wanda. You're right I can copy powers and it's nothing like Rogue's. Because my copying doesn't hurt them. As for leading me to your father, I already know where to look. And you'd be considered a whack job too if you had almost no memories of your own as well as no idea what your natural eye and hair colors are. I rotted because of your father and he didn't even relatively care."

Mimic's words echoed through her mind.
No memories...
Left to rot...
Her head suddenly began to ache.
"You just stay the hell away from me!" she snapped. Wanda turned and ran. She ran as fast as she could. She didn't care where she was going or when she'd get there - she just had to get away now.

*As he saw he run he said in her head.*
"I know what your father did to you. I know all about how he treated you."
*Mimic slowly walked down the street after turning his feet back to normal.*
