RP with Steve

ooc: RP with starspangledcap A few days after Wanda has dinner with Pietro. Tony Stark sent Jean and Steve on a mission: Go to Wundagore to speak with Wanda. Jean, Steve, Tommy and Billy take a plane, train and bus to get here. Jean and the boys hang back so Steve can speak with her alone.

Late in the afternoon, Wanda sat quietly reading Pride and Prejudice. She's read the book a hundred times before, it's like a old friend.

She was suddenly roused by the sound of the door-bell, and her spirits were a little fluttered by the idea of its being Colonel Fitzwilliam himself, who had once before called late in the evening, and might now come to inquire particularly after her. But this idea was soon banished, and her spirits were very differently affected, when, to her utter amazement, she saw Mr. Darcy walk into the room. In an hurried manner he immediately began an inquiry after her health, imputing his visit to a wish of hearing that she were better. She answered him with cold civility. He sat down for a few moments, and then getting up, walked about the room. Elizabeth was surprised, but said not a word. After a silence of several minutes, he came towards her in an agitated manner, and thus began:

"In vain I have struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you."

Wanda sipped at her cup of tea. She pulled an old patchwork quilt up around her to ward off the chill of winter in the mountains. But she felt still cold and put down her book to build a fire.
