After the defeat of Ultron, Wanda, not quite yet able to enjoy a full understanding or grasp of the true extent of her powers, joined the Avengers. Alongside Cap, Nat, and Sam, Wanda pursued Crossbones to Lagos, Nigeria, in an attempt to keep a biological weapon out of his hands.

When Rumlow set off a grenade, Wanda had the incredible strength and presence of mind to contain the explosion. However, as she tried to remove its danger and throw it into the air, she threw it into a building, killing and injuring many innocent civilians.

In the outrage that followed, Tony Stark assigned Vision to keep her inside the Avengers facility for her own protection. However it wasn't until Clint's attempts to break her free that Wanda accepted that she wasn't happy being held against her will.

Hawkeye was no match for the then strongest Avenger, but Wanda was able to easily overpower her future lover, drilling him through several floors and deep underground. Not only was this strength unlike anything she had shown before, it trumped the power that almost any being had shown in the MCU so far. Vision may have been able to life Mjolnir, but he was no match for Wanda.
