Rescue of Wanda Maximoff

"What are you doing here?" "Disappointing my kids."

- Wanda Maximoff and Clint Barton

The Rescue of Wanda Maximoff was a successful rescue mission by Clint Barton to break into the New Avengers Facility and retrieve former teammate Wanda Maximoff.

Background
"Wanda? What about Wanda?" "She's fine. She's confined in the compound currently. Vision's keeping her company."

- Steve Rogers and Tony Stark

After a terrorist attack in Lagos claimed the lives of twenty-six people, eleven of the victims being relief aid workers from Wakanda, several international politicians called for the United Nations to create a system of accountability.

Secretary of State Thaddeus Ross gathered the Avengers and presented them with the Sokovia Accords, which would establish a panel to monitor and control their movements.

In the wake of the announcement, Tony Stark placed Wanda Maximoff under house arrest in order to avoid another public incident. He tasked Vision with keeping her confined to the New Avengers Facility and not allowing her to leave the premises.

However, Steve Rogers contacted the now-retired Clint Barton to rescue Maximoff and help him deal with the threat of the Winter Soldiers.

Breaking In
"Please consider the consequences of your actions." "Okay, they're considered."

- Vision and Hawkeye

Vision and Maximoff were asleep when an explosion suddenly went off outside the compound. Vision told Maximoff to stay inside before heading off to investigate.

Maximoff did as she was told only to realize someone else was in the compound. She used her powers on a nearby kitchen knife to attack the intruder, only to realize that Hawkeye was in the room and that he was responsible for the explosion, which was meant to distract Vision while he rescued her.

Before the two could escape, they were confronted by Vision, who had realized the truth and had returned to foil the attempt.

A Team Divided
"If you do this, they will never stop being afraid of you." "I can't control their fear. Only my own."

- Vision and Wanda Maximoff

Vision warned Hawkeye to consider the consequences of his actions only to be stopped when two trick arrows released an electric shock that paralyzed him. Barton then realized Maximoff was not following him towards the exit and learned that she was afraid of the damage she had caused.

As Barton tried motivating her into leaving, Vision broke free from the trap and fought his former ally before easily subduing him. Maximoff attempted to convince Vision to let Barton go. When he refused, Maximoff reluctantly used her powers to control the Mind Stone and forced him to release Barton before increasing his density and blasting him meters beneath the facility.

Aftermath
"You locked me in my room." "Okay. First, that's an exaggeration. Second, I did it to protect you."

- Scarlet Witch and Iron Man

Barton and Maximoff successfully escaped from the facility before recruiting former petty criminal Scott Lang, who had been personally recommended by Sam Wilson, to their cause.

The three then made their way to Flughafen Leipzig-Halle Airport, where Rogers, Wilson and Barnes were waiting to take a Quinjet to the HYDRA facility where the other Winter Soldiers were being kept in cryogenic stasis.
