So he wasn't-- [--'dead,' but Wanda's own wounds are fresh and she can't quite bring herself to say it. From what she's heard of Loki, it's not that surprising.] I'm glad you found him, but I am sorry you needed to.
[She's glad for an out, though...and really, how could she not ask if he's going to phrase it like that?]
Yes, that kind of help. [She manages a wry grin. This is the second time someone's figured out that she knows Steve before she's brought him up. How much trouble has he gotten into?] You know him?
I do, he's on the guard with me. [ and he tends not to make a secret of the fact that he used to run around superhero-ing. neither does Tony, for that matter, so it's not hard to put two and two together with that group. Wanda seems like she could hold her own, it was a guess in the right direction.]
He's one of the good ones. Kind of reminds me of my dad a little - not that I'd tell him that.
[ not when he's one of the few she's talked about home with.]
[Wanda's a tactile person, so even though she doesn't know Mantis, she doesn't flinch away. It's the sort of gesture she'd expect from a friend. But she doesn't expect the sudden rush of emotions behind that touch, something much stronger than everything else she's feeling. There are fewer boundaries, no way of telling where the calm ends and her own thoughts begin.
Wanda doesn't try to fight it. It doesn't stop the pain, but it gives her a stable base to start from to finally shove the ambient emotions out of her mind. Much better. And just like that, the crippling headache is gone and Wanda still feels much better than she would normally. Wow.]
Thank you, but...what did you do? [Wanda knows what she did - she can do something similar, after all - but she's never met anyone with powers like hers. ]

What is this 'space stuff?'
