It's the easiest thing to call myself, I think. [Something different from mutant. It's not in her DNA. It's something deeper.] My group was... human, at the end of the day. Highly trained and skilled humans. Some enhanced through technology or science. But no one looked at them differently like they did with me. They all had their monikers. Black Widow. Captain America. Hawkeye. Me, I was just Wanda until recently.
[Forged, the Darkhold had said. It was a long road that led to her becoming the Scarlet Witch.]
The only other witch I met tried to take my powers for her own. Not really a great first impression.
Captain... America? [ He raises a brow at that one, if only because it sounds about the same as there being a Captain France, or ...Lieutenant Norway. But then again, if anyone would take on a name like that, it'd be an American. ]
I suppose all monikers are a little strange if you think about them too long. My group had their own as well. [ And he'd held too tightly to his own moniker for so long, it had only been recently that he was able to just be Erik again. He did find it interesting that she had been only Wanda initially, rather than her own moniker of The Scarlet Witch - which she seemed to have gained later. There were missing pieces still of her story; but just like his own, they were revealing them on their own time. ]
I'll assume it didn't end well for her. [ Not a good first impression indeed, and also not a wise choice to try to take someone's powers; especially someone like Wanda, he thinks. ]

I think the name was chosen for him. He was a war hero. Human, but... enhanced. A super soldier.
[And so he was a little more sympathetic towards her than most. She had appreciated it.]
Agatha's still alive. Just subdued.
