Chapter 17 by Nanking

Is Wanda caught?

No

As air entered Wanda's lungs she felt at peace for just a moment. But not for long. She had just breached the water and exposed the top half of her body to the open air. Wanda quickly sank back down, stopping only when the water had ingulfed everything below her neck. She was facing the pool corner with her eye's down. Wanda wasn't sure she could face the denizens of the pool party that she had literally just dropped in on. Especially in her birthday suit no less! Humiliated by just the thought of it, Wanda considered making a run for it right now. Just jump out of the pool, run out of the yard, and streak down the street to who knows where. Wanda didn't know what to do and it was hard to think with that music playing.

Wait music?

Wanda turned her head towards the source of the loud music. On the opposite side of the pool was a small stage not unlike the one from the magic show Wanda had been roped into doing. However instead of a magician there was a band up on stage, and they were rocking out. The lead guitarist was currently preforming a long solo. He was pretty good the whole party was entranced by his skill.

"Wait a minute," Wanda whispered. The whole party had their eyes glued to the stage, not a single one was looking away. They hadn't noticed her. Even the band was too ingrossed in their music to look up at the crowd. She couldn't believe it. No one at this party had noticed Wanda. In fact their music was so loud they probably didn't ever hear her splashdown.

This might be my chance. If I can get out of here before the band stops playing no one will notice me!

Wanda immediately grabbed the edge of the pool and began to pull herself out. She didn't have time to think. If she wanted to escape, now was the time.

"Wanda?" A voice said causing the crimson housewife to freeze, "Wanda Maximoff, is that you?"
