As Ms. Marvel draws attention to herself, the Widow sprints after her before she phases into the structure. “Sofen! Stop!” Once the Widow has gained ground to be close enough to communicate, she barks, “You will not enter this place before I say, and especially not illegally. The Vision is not your matter to tend to. If you want to make a go at heroing and teaming with the Avengers, you're on my leash. You run off again, you will be treated as an enemy. Once again, are we clear?”
With the Widow off after Marvel, Iron Man, Walters, and the other heroes who have approached the building are left at the door. From here, the mansion could be any building, albeit an ornate, massive one. The doorbell could be attached to any dwelling. When Iron Man presses it, it emits a chime like any other, the sound muffled as it comes from inside. There is no sound to replace it as its echo recedes.
A breeze rustles from nowhere, created suddenly by the speed of a person who has run up at great velocity. It is the veteran Avenger and mutant, Quicksilver. His blue costume is scuffled and dirty, his hair tousled beyond being wind-blown, and he is out of breath, a rare state. His eyes are wide and wild and he looks behind him more than he looks at the heroes at the front door. He gasps: “Avengers. You must leave immediately. It is far too dangerous for anyone here. She may already be too far gone. Go. Now. I implore you. Please go.”
The front door opens. In his classic blue-and-gold uniform with a mask leaving his perfectly-combed hair exposed, it is Cyclops, leader of the X-Men. “Hello!” he says, with a welcoming smile.
Looking back at Quicksilver, the speedster is gone, so far removed that it is like he was never there.
