Synopsis

"Night of the Swordsman"   As the Scarlet Witch mulls over the fact that her own brother is against her romance with the Vision, she storms out of Avengers Mansion after watching a training session between Vision, Captain American, and Iron Man when they refer to Vision as an android. In public, Wanda is gawked at by construction workers and she attacks them in a fury. When they retaliate they are stopped by Mantis who fights them off and brings Wanda back to Avengers Mansion.  There, she is joined by her partner, the Swordsman and both ask for membership in the Avengers. The idea is opposed at first, especially by Captain America gave their past clashes with the Swordsman, but the other Avengers vote to give him and Mantis a chance as their ranks are depleted with the departure of Hawkeye and Quicksilver.
