Do we know what happens to people who disappear? Are they safe?

[Everything is fine.]

It's Pops, isn't it? Because I saw Billy respond to you. And I saw Sansa on the ship.

[seeingscarlet]

I can't sense him

[doubled_speed]

Fuck, that's... FUCK. I'll search. Just give me a moment, okay?

[He's going to burn out all of his energy searching.]

[seeingscarlet]

He must be far. Or they've done something to him

[The ships don't seem to have that dampening effect anymore but that doesn't mean somewhere else doesn't.]

Be careful. I can't lose you both

[doubled_speed]

If Pops is out there, I'll find him. I promise. I can't just not try!

[seeingscarlet]

I know

But whatever they did to him, I didn't even wake up

Either they have put him somewhere I can't feel again or he is very far away

[doubled_speed]

I can go far. Further than anyone. I’ll find him. If anyone here can find him, it’s me. And I won’t stop.

[seeingscarlet]

Can you take someone with you?

[doubled_speed]

Yeah. But I go slower if I have someone else. I wouldn’t want you hurt by the forces.

[seeingscarlet]

But would my senses help you?

[doubled_speed]

i don’t know
see your senses are, like, so much better than the wanda I know
which is really cool actually

[seeingscarlet]

['Cool' is not the word she'd use right now. Her powers may let her enjoy a deeper bond with the people she loves, and she certainly had a closer connection to her Vision that the other Wanda would ever have known. But right now it means his sudden loss is overwhelming and almost physically painful.]

It's your choice. I trust you

[She wants to do something more than sit here and cry, but Tommy knows his own powers best.]

[doubled_speed]

[Trust. Damn, that's a powerful word for him.]

Yeah, uh, put on warm clothes, okay? And goggles if you have them.

[seeingscarlet]

[Why wouldn't she? They're Maximoffs.]

I have warm clothes but not goggles or glasses. Everything I found was for someone with three eyes

[doubled_speed]

I guess we can ask Billy for goggles. Don't know if his magic can track pops down. And if not, you'll just have to wear a hood and hide your face.

[seeingscarlet]

Pietro always told me to just close my eyes

[Then again, strict safety measures weren't exactly at the top of Strucker's priority list as long as the twins didn't come to permanent harm - neither of them had any special protective gear.]

[doubled_speed]

Wow that is SUPER not safe. I mean, this is carrying you at WAY faster speeds. A single stone could put an eye out.

[seeingscarlet]

You know I can shield us, yes?

[doubled_speed]

Wait, you can?

[seeingscarlet]

Your Wanda can't make energy shields?

[doubled_speed]

I mean, she can use her hex bolts to deflect things and sometimes make energy shields, but I didn't think she could make ones that MOVE.

[seeingscarlet]

It's centered on me. It will move with us

[doubled_speed]

Dude, that is SO COOL.

[seeingscarlet]

[?????]

Is it really so uncommon where you're from?

[doubled_speed]

actually yeah
except for mutants who specifically shield
