This choice: Janet and Wanda get lunch—like, a lot of lunch. • Go Back... To say that Wanda looked foul was an understatement.
It was one thing to force her to socialise outside of the compound, but the prospect of clothes was borderline repulsive for the witch.
Not to say that sizing itself had caused her problems, a short time weaving her magic had made sure that her outfit was fitting fine, 'civvies' just lacked the comfort of pyjamas she had become so used to as of late.
"Isn't this great Wanda?" shouted Janet a few steps ahead of Wanda as they walked towards their destination.
In contrast to her friend, Janet was far more excited about their lunch date.
Ever the fashionista, it didn't take much convincing for Janet to put an outfit together, especially with a new season on the horizon.
Feeling exceptionally autumnal, the weather had called for jumpers and Janet was set for the occasion with modest natural tones cladding her body from top to toe with a knee length skirt, tights and heeled boots to match.
"Uh huh" grunted Wanda in response, her mind mulling over any potential escape from her forced excursion whilst a mental flick eased the wedgie working its way up her ass.
She found further distraction in the hot dog cart parked on the other side of the road, a glimmer of red dancing across her eyes at the thought.
"Come on" cooed the smaller heroine, stopping on her heels to close the gap between herself and her guest "even you can't be grumpy when food is involved"
"Uh huh" grunted Wanda again, Janet's optimism starting to grate on her.
By pure coincidence they were dressed quite similarly, the main difference been Wanda had opted for jeans and her leather coat was knee length to Janet's hip hugger.
None of that mattered to the witch though and Janet continued her march.
"Have you thought about what you're going to get for lunch then?" asked Janet in the hope that Wanda's new favourite topic would instill some conversation from her and, in a strange roundabout way, it did.
"I dumph know" grunted Wanda through a large mouthful of hot dog, one delicacy in each hand as she continued to swagger behind Janet.
"Where did you get those from?" asked Janet, bemused at the appearance of food as well as Wanda's apparent need to eat more when they were nearly at the restaurant where they were about to get lunch.
Silence followed, met instead with a single movement of the brunette's eyes guiding Janet to the cart where she had acquired her food, using her magic to demonstrate as she drew a third dog to her to refill her now empty left hand.
Janet was dumbstruck and opted to carry on rather than question the situation further which suited Wanda down to the ground as she proceeded to eat in peace.

"Table for two is it?" asked the hostess without looking up as she caught a glimpse of two pairs of feet walk through the restaurant door before her.
"That would be great thanks" replied Janet as the hostess looked up at the pair for the first time.
"Wonderful, lets see where...ohmygod! Jan...Miss van Dyne?!" cried the hostess upon realising who she was speaking to.
Janet chuckled, not to say she was vain but it always brought a smile to her face when she was recognised outside of her superhero get up.
"Janet will be fine"
"Oh great, follow me...Janet"
The two women followed the host as she meandered between tables of people already dining, or at least waiting to dine, with little disruption and it didn't take them long before finding themselves by a discreet booth to one side of the restaurant.
"This is a little more out of the way so you'll be able to dine in peace today" smiled the hostess as she beckoned the two women to their seats "would you like a moment to browse the menu?"
The two women sat down and instinctively reached for a menu, particularly Wanda who couldn't seem to reach hers fast enough, which was odd given that she had had to disintegrate her last hot dog wrapper with her powers as they walked through the restaurant doors.
That was when their host spotted Wanda for the first time properly.
"Oh my goodness, you're Scarlet Witch aren't you, like, THE Scarlet Witch!" squealed the girl, even more excited than when she had indentified Janet.
'Oh great' groaned Wanda internally, feeling no patience for fan girls today of all days.
She never had the patience for them come to think of it but today was low on the list when it came to her tolerance levels.
"Can I just say that you are my absolute favourite Avenger and..."
"I'll take the foot long BLT, a half pound steak burger, a double portion of the macaroni chilli cheese, fries with all three and an onion loaf"
Patience well and truly tested, Wanda had cut the poor girl off mid speech as her hunger gnawed away inside her.
"Please"
"Not a problem, let me just write that down" acknowledged their host, basking in the mere presence of her favourite superhero "and for you Janet van Dyne?"
*****
"Mhm, this looks great" purred Janet as her chicken Cesar salad was placed before her along with the stream of plates been placed before Wanda.
Pleasant acknowledgment wasn't on the larger woman's mind though as she dove straight into her meal.
Considerably more refined than her friend, however, Janet proceeded to delicately spear a selection of greens through a piece of chicken and gently pop it into her mouth.
"Oh wow, that tastes really good too" cooed Janet, continuing to attack her salad with her usual delicate grace.
Wanda, meanwhile, was far from delicate, tearing large mouthfuls from the sandwiches she had ordered whilst magically controlling a spoon to handle her macaroni for her so as not to delay its creamy deliciousness.
It crossed Janet's mind to play mother and insist that Wanda didn't use her magic to eat in public but the prospect of annoying the woman opposite her when there was a chance to help her halted that thought.
'Let her be Jan, let her be' she thought to herself as she continued to work through her salad.
*****
"Oh boy, I am stuffed" declared Janet as she delicately placed her fork down onto her plate, feeling a pleasant warmth inside after her meal.
Meanwhile, Wanda was still devouring the remnants of her order along with the replenished macaroni she had ordered after.
'My that girl can eat' thought Janet, watching over her friend as the last morsels of burger disappeared between her crimson lips.
"Hey, was your lunch good too?" asked Janet genuinely, seeing an opening
"Yeah, it was pretty good" pondered Wanda with an air of pleasantness to her that Janet had not seen on her recently.
"Can I get you anything else today?"
The hostess had returned again, looking a little flustered having still not gotten over the fact that she was serving her idol.
"Oh I think we're done now" responded Janet, taking a moment to inhale some air.
"I could go for some dessert" chimed up Wanda
"Absolutely" smiled their waitress, producing her notepad "what can I get you?"
"Could we get a cheesecake for the table please?" purred Wanda, an almost sultry aspect sneaking into her voice as she ordered.
"Certainly, coming right up"
As the waitress disappeared from the table, Janet could only stare at Wanda in disbelief.
"There is no way you're still hungry after all that"
"Oh yeah, I've been eating none stop for weeks now, this is nothing" purred Wanda again "besides, you know you want a piece now"
Wanda wasn't wrong, although you wouldn't need a telepath to tell you that Janet was a sucker for sweet desserts.
"Besides, with me asking we'll probably get it for free seeing as this girl is crazy about me" smirked Wanda, taking a gentle sip from her glass.
Janet laughed.
The day had certainly taken a turn beyond what she expected but seeing Wanda actually interacting with her was fantastic.
A slice of cheesecake was a worthwhile sacrifice for that cause surely.   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
