For lastvoyages : Eleventh Hex [voice+angst]
[Once upon a time there was a witch that got most of her powers taken away. Everyone patted her on the head and told her that it was for her own good, and that she didn't need all that power anyway. But because she couldn't defend herself anymore, suddenly it seemed like every filthy creeper on the Barge decided that she was a Damsel in Distress and should be treated accordingly. And when she wanted protection, she was forced to run to her friends.]
[Except the last "friend" turned out to be a creeper himself, and kept her captive. And it was two days before anyone noticed she was gone. That was when she burned out on looking to other people for protection.]
[So she went out and she got herself a knife, and went to find the guy who keeps her so low powered that she can't defend herself. She planned to give him two choices: give her her powers back, or get chopped into little bitty pieces. But unfortunately, when she found him, he had lost his memory and was like a different person. So she waited, planning to ambush him with the knife and her powers as soon as they stepped back on the Barge and his memories came back.]
[But as soon as that happened, the knife vanished. And as soon as it left her hand, she felt something break inside of her. Someone might have noticed her falling apart on deck before she fled back to her room, locked the door and pushed the dresser against it. But it was a long time after that before she could bring herself to speak on the communications net.]

Two days. Two days.
And the only reason he was caught and I was freed was that you suspected him of something else.
And one particularly heartless bitch among you even made jokes when I was reported missing.
[Crying hysterically]
Great job. Just fucking brilliant. Shows me just how much we can really rely on you.
[private to Tony]
Either you give me back my powers so I can protect myself, or you can come clean up my corpse. This isn’t fucking negotiable so you had better pay attention this time. GIVE ME MY BIRTHRIGHT BACK, YOU BASTARD!
[[Here is the actual timeline of what happened, in contrast to Wanda's hysterical accusations]].
[[In reality, people started noticing her missing after she missed some daily and every-two-day appointments on the first day she was missing. Bruce Banner and a few others also noticed the lack of her music. Unfortunately, the person whom her Warden asked to look for her with his superhuman senses was...Franklin. The next day, his suspicious activities were noted by Nygma and Luke went to check in on him.]]
[[Wanda is being informed of the truth and slowly calming down, but came into this post in an utter stew of irrational rage and despair. Her accusations are in no way fair, and she's even starting to agree with that fact, but a lot of her anger is a matter of paranoid cray-cray and not righteousness.]]
