Wanda had never felt more lost and helpless in her life. For months now, she wandered about the country, searching for her twin brother, Pietro. During the chaos on Alcatraz island, they had gotten separated from each other and Wanda had been on her own ever since. She had debated long and hard on what she should do with herself until they were reunited, and she ultimately came to the conclusion that she needed to seek outside assistance if she ever wanted to see Quicksilver ever again; it was not surprising that all when she decided to seek out the X-Men for help. Her father had long since gone into hiding and she had no idea where to begin looking for him. Even if she did know where he was, she probably wouldn't want his help anyway. After all, this was all his fault.
If he hadn't gone off half-cocked and stormed that bloody island, none of this would've happened. And she and her brother would be safe and sound, and more importantly, together. They had never gone more than a day without seeing or talking to one another, so needless to say this separation was pure torture for her and she hated to think about Pietro feeling just as miserable and lost as she was. But she knew, as he probably did, that they needed to remain strong and positive, and keep hope alive. It was hard, though.. So very, very hard.
When Wanda arrived at the Xavier's Institute for Gifted Youngsters one evening, she stood outside the wrought iron gates, peering through bars at the large estate beyond. The windows were alight with life, and there was no doubt in her mind that some of the inhabitants within knew of her presence. She was somewhat skeptical that they'd help her, as she and her brother had openly opposed their ideals and had faced off with them in combat before. But she had to at least try. If they were true blue do-gooders, they would at least listen to what she had to say, before her turning away.
After a few moments of quiet contemplation, the Scarlet Witch pressed a button on one of the brick posts, buzzing whoever had control over the gate to let her in. Wanda took a few steps back from it, hoping that one of the security cameras they strategically placed near the entrance of the school, would catch her image more clearly. She looked harmless in muted, but multicolored woolen coat, but didn't they all look innocent at first glance? This could've been some kind of trick, but this time, Wanda wasn't up to no good. This time, she was coming to the X-Men for help.
