Claire has looked up to the Scarlet witch for... pretty much her whole life. (It didn't hurt, as she got older, that Wanda wore so much red - even though Claire would talk her ear off about how her powers were probably blue band rather than red band.) She was a Trailblazer, she and Quicksilver were the youngest Alpha Force members ever when they graduated to the adult team, and she's generally just elegant and awesome.

Which is why Claire stands on the other side of the room after Wanda finishes her talk and starts reading, just... watching her for a few minutes. It takes ten for her to get herself in a chair vaguely near Wanda.

"I just joined," she blurts abruptly. "My name is Claire and my hero name is Gale and I'm aerokinetic and I had a Scarlet Witch backpack when I was little."
