Wanda hovers close in case Loki wobbles and needs help stabilizing, but she seems to be some degree of functional for now. Thank goodness for small victories. Wanda would have carried Loki out of here if necessary, but it would have let them uncomfortable and vulnerable.
One brief moment of vulnerability is surely all right, though. Wanda closes her eyes and leans into that touch, exerting all of her willpower not to sob in relief. She can't be Wanda yet. She has to be the Scarlet Witch and get them back to the Quinjet, and then she can fall apart into a useless mess of a person.
"They moved you," she begins softly. "And then I think they moved you again? We escaped but I couldn't find you." A beat; Wanda raises a hand to Loki's. "I'm so sorry. I should have found you sooner."
