❝I'm not here right now, but leave a message and I'll get back to you when I can.❞

How is it complicated? Because Loki's a guy? He told me people were more accepting of mutants were he's from, they can't be still giving people shit about that right? Or is it the whole "god" thing? Because I'll admit I'm not sure what's going on with that. Maybe? And the muder stuff.

He came to see you while you were asleep. He was worried.

Some things are not as simple as they look.

Why can't they be? Things are simple with you.

[Are they? Are they really?]

Only after we talked.

[And even after Peter found out what Wanda was hiding from him...it still didn't uncomplicate everything, clearly.]

[No. Not at all. But he likes to pretend. It's easier than admit how out of his depth he is.]

But you're easy to talk to. I don't even know where to start with him. His version of me is a hero. Someone great. He talks about him like he's some idol, like he's so proud of him. I don't know how to deal with that.

[If he was using audio, his tone would imply that it's not just Billy he's talking about. This ambiguity makes this conversation easier to have.]

[Her powers don't work on these things, but Wanda is ever the perceptive one, especially where her twin is concerned.]

Do you think we're not proud of you?

[He's always very quick in his responses; every text is returned within seconds of one being received. He would reply faster, if the technology would allow. But this response takes time to get to her, minutes pass instead of seconds. A clear sign of his hesitation.]

It's not that I don't think you're not proud. I just don't see how it could be the same.

[The time gap isn't lost on her and Wanda's just about to go looking for him when the MID pings again.]

It's still there. I think you will always be a hero in any version of our worlds.

But I'm not. I did something pretty stupid back home. I broke a guy out of jail who probably killed a president. Just because some other mutants asked me to. Just because I wanted to see if I could break into the Pentagon and get away for it. I didn't even ask what he was in there for, I just went along with it for fun. And everything I've done here? Not heroic. I'm not a hero.

[She lets that sit for a moment, considering. Does he really think her Pietro was some super-serious boy scout who never got in trouble? Because that's really not true.]

Do you know what Pietro did as soon as we escaped Strucker?

I only know what you've shown me.

[It was mostly a rhetorical question because:]

He started flirting with every pretty girl in sight, stole expensive dresses for them. I was afraid he would get hurt.

[Not quite the Steve Rogers way to go about things...]

Wanda I'm not sure stealing some stuff for dates is the same thing as letting a murderer walk free.
