Scarlet and the Scarlet Witch

"You know guard duty isn't as bad as most people make it out to be," The Scarlet Witch remarked. She and Scarlet were up in one of the lookout posts. "It's peaceful up here."

"Yeah it helps put one's life into perspective," Scarlet sighed. "Not to mention it's helpful for spying." She raised a pair of binoculars to her eyes. "Is Duke ever going to get off the floor in his office?"

"You still like him don't you?" Scarlet Witch asked.

"Yes and no," Scarlet sighed putting them down. "It's…complicated."

"You can talk to me if you like," Scarlet Witch suggested. "I mean I've never really been in love before. And I am certainly not counting Toad's infatuation of me! But if you have problems…"

"Uh kid," Scarlet raised an eyebrow. "As much as I appreciate the offer I'm not that desperate and confused to talk over my love life with a teenager."

"Hey did you hear!" They heard the voice of Snow Job down below. "Falcon's gonna set up Duke with this cute dancer he met!"

"Bout time he got over Scarlet," They heard Big Lob remark.

"It all started when I first signed up…" Scarlet began.

Twenty minutes later in the communications control room Mainframe and Dial Tone were monitoring things. "Shouldn't Duke or Beach Head have called in by now to ask us how things are going?" Dial Tone asked. "Usually one of them checks up on us by now."

"Well I know Duke probably has his hands full with Avalanche," Mainframe shrugged. "But I would have thought Beach Head would check in, Xi or not. Oh well. Let's see what's going on in North Tower 3." He turned on the intercom.

"And what really gets me is that both of them seem to have it in their heads that I play some kind of damsel in distress mode," Scarlet's voice could be heard. "But with Snake Eyes at least I can talk to him. I don't have to worry about him interrupting."

"The fact that the guy can't talk must have something to do with it," Mainframe remarked.

"Who asked you to listen in on our conversation?" Scarlet snapped.

"Geeze don't get your panties in a twist," Mainframe told her. "I wanted to see how things were going. Or are you too involved in your girl talk to notice?"

That was when Scarlet Witch used her powers to send back a loud feedback at them. "OWWWW!" They screamed.

"Serve's em right!" Scarlet snapped. "Who do they think they are? Jerks!"

"Well we could always get revenge on them," Scarlet Witch said matter of factly.

"You're right!" Scarlet snapped her fingers. "And now is the perfect time! Look at 'em all down there! All chauvinistic morons! Well! We're gonna teach them a lesson right now!"

"But I thought regulations stated…" Scarlet Witch started to say.

"Screw regulations!" Scarlet snapped. "Now hand me that bazooka and get me some water balloons!"
