WHO: Wanda Maximoff, Vision, Tommy Shepherd, Billy Kaplan, Sansa Stark, Vision
WHERE: Billy and Tommy's room, then Wanda and Vision's space
WHAT: Some Secrets Shouldn't Keep? Aka Billy and Tommy FINALLY tell Wanda she's a mom. Sorta? And then Wanda goes to Sansa and Vision to talk about what she has learned.
WHEN: Early January
WARNINGS: Emotions, discussion of death of previous incarnations.

They'd been putting this off too long. Far too damn long. Since they showed up. Tommy sighs and when he wakes up he's high energy. High anxious energy. Because they've been doing this too long. They've been hiding and lying and Tommy? He can't take it anymore.

So he reaches over to Billy, starts shaking his shoulder and keeps prodding until Billy wakes up.

"Get up, dude. We're going to talk to Wanda. I can't do this anymore. We gotta... We just gotta. Today. Now. Get up."

Wanda just snickers. Oh, she knows that expression on Tommy's face too well, and even if it's not a great joke, Billy's reaction makes it worth it.

And it's a welcome respite of humor because...oh, she can only imagine. Had the other Wanda had an accident with her powers and killed her own children? Or had they been killed by someone trying to get revenge on her or her husband? She's not going to ask, but...these are all possibilities that she'd mulled over for her own future at one time or another. "That must have been so difficult for all of you. I'm so sorry."

“I mean, we don’t remember the whole thing with the demon and the dying and all of that,” Tommy dismisses. “And we only learned this recently.”

Comparatively recently. Time has a... strange way of flowing for them. Like the years could be endless or pass in only a second. But with that said he does pull fully away and begin pacing. Because this isn’t better yet.

“We aren’t, like, asking you to be her. You’re different, right? And I like you for you. A lot. Just... lies and shit, right?”

That's kind of a blunt way to put it, and Billy winces a little, but also shakes off Wanda's apologies. "We don't really remember," he confirms. Though he has dreamt about it alot. He doesn't know how much truth is in those dreams.

And when Tommy starts his pacing Billy sits, watching him with a careful expression. "Yeah, there's...no pressure or anything."

Demon? So that's...apparently a thing in their world. But that isn't important right now and Wanda stifles the question.

"I can't be her. I am...different." Not as strong, she wants to say, but that's her own problem to deal with. It's just hard not to feel any twinge of jealousy, even knowing what she knows. "But I want you two to have all the support that you need. Anything I can give, just ask."

"Yeah, but you're wonderful," Tommy counters. "Different isn't bad. And if you prefer us to just, you know, call you Aunt Wanda or whatever."

He just wants her to still want him around. He can't handle a Wanda not wanting them. It's part of their inherent state, to want Wanda to approve of them.

Billy looks a little less sure about Tommy's name suggestion, but he's still struggling over what to call their own Wanda back home. Mom feels less right than it had in that emotional reunion, and he's more or less reverted back to just plain Wanda.

"We don't expect you to be her," he assures.

"I want you to call me whatever makes you comfortable. I don't want this to be any harder on you than it already has been." She's not sure how she'd feel if an alternate version of her parents suddenly appeared...but she knows how she'd feel about another Pietro and how badly it would hurt if he didn't want her.

"But...I do want to be something to you, if you want me to be."

Yeah, comparing it to Pietro may not be that far off. But Tommy nods and finally slips a bit further away from them both. Sorry, he needs to pace.

"I want you to. You've just been so good to us."

"You have," Billy agrees, allowing Tommy slip away and wear off some of that anxious energy. "You and Vision. It's helped make all this less scary."

In so much as an interdimensional kidnapping can be made less scary.
