Fight back Wanda's mind screamed at her fight back!. But she couldn't. She could not defy him that way. Running away, that was one thing, but attacking Magnus was entirely another. She gasped and writhed in his grasp as his grip on her neck tightened. There would be more, of course, he would kill her another way. The strangulation was just for pain. Suddenly she kicked out at him and tried to claw at his face with her fingernails. In response he slapped her hard across the face and she grew still again, whimpering and choking.
