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 has no energy left to argue and so she does as Sansa says. Lady is a very welcome distraction and can have all the pets she wishes.]

We can't fix it. It's my fault. I am...not the right Wanda.

[But she's getting ahead of herself. Wanda takes a shuddering breath and tries to refocus on the things she can feel: the couch under her, Lady's soft fur.]

There are two other versions of our world that I know about. The Wanda in Kitty and Kurt's world...died. The other one... [Gulp.] ...her children are here. And I don't know how I'm going to tell Vision.

[She keeps one hand on Lady but buries her face in the other as she dissolves back into tears.]

( It hurts, painfully, to reveal she knows this but she feels it is her bounden duty to tell Wanda what she knows it and how she does. She clasps her hand between both of her own. )

He knows. One of your sons told me so. I never told you because your son swore me to secrecy and I would never interfere in something so personal. He revealed it to me unbidden and, frankly, I didn't want you to be hurt. I never like seeing you hurt.

[Wanda holds Sansa's gaze maybe a moment too long before she curls into herself as the tears return. Of course. Vision would do anything to protect her, just like she would for him. Even if it meant hiding his own emotions or his own need for her support. He knew this was going to hurt her, just like Sansa did.

Because it's her fault, even if it's beyond her control.

The possibility of being angry with them for hiding it from her doesn't even cross her mind. She knows them, and she knows it came from a place of love. And Wanda couldn't say she wouldn't have done something similar to spare either of their feelings.]

We don't get to choose and it's my fault. My powers don't...I can't. I am not like her.

You are not her. You are not her the same that I am not the Sansa who went home afraid and frightened of her world. I learned from you, from Vision, from Bucky - I learned how to defend myself and be strong and I became a queen. We aren't bound by our destinies, Wanda.

( Sansa says it with conviction because she knows it to be true. She knows she wouldn't have survived the Long Night or Daenerys or any of it without being in the Fleet. )
