Doctor's Check Up- Network- Text

[wearingthestars]

Hey everyone.

So, that was a really trying couple weeks.
I just wanted to remind everyone that if they need anything they can drop by the hospital.

Whether you got banged up, or just want to talk about what happened, I'm here. Or you can reach out to anyone else around here, or whoever you trust.

We gotta support each other, right?

Everyone take care, and check in.

We visited it just before we broke free. It was a singing planet, what the core of the Agrii's ship will become one day. It was...more comfortable to have powers in a place like that. The planet supported us.

It was wonderful. Beautiful and strange, but wonderful.

[wearingthestars]

What is a...singing planet? I kind of...never really got that.

[seeingscarlet]

Did you get a chance to see the core on the Agrii ship? The one that sang in your mind?

whoops, missing notif, sorry <3

[wearingthestars]

[His head tilts, but he shakes his head.]

No, I stayed back to watch the kid and the ships, I never-...how does it- like...the data points?

[It's an awkward guess, but the closest he has to something like he imagines that sensation.]

no worries!

[seeingscarlet]

No, it...it might be easier if I show you.

[There aren't words in any language Wanda knows for some of these concepts. She can try to explain around it, but it doesn't really get the point across.]

May I?

[wearingthestars]

Oh-uh-

[Billy hesitates a moment, flushing, but he gives a quick nod. He was pretty sure couldn't block her out if he tried, but he appreciates the ask, looking a little unsure as to what to expect but shifting closer.]

Yeah, go ahead.

[seeingscarlet]

Don't worry, this won't hurt.

[One moment Wanda is reaching out, directing tendrils of power--

--and the next, everything has shifted and Billy is seeing an entirely different world through Wanda's eyes. It's a beach on an alien planet and Wanda's sipping on a brightly-colored slushie that's definitely tasty, but also definitely not an Earth flavor. There's a dim psychic buzz from the other beachgoers, as well as one brighter point that feels like Sansa. But under that is a song. It's not like a song stuck in your head, and somehow it's not irritating at all. It's soothing, comforting.

And past-Wanda is also aware in this moment of how much better her powers feel. Stronger, yes, because she's had to walk quite a ways to get drinks for herself and Sansa but can still find her way back easily. But they're also more easily controlled. The crowd doesn't bother her as much as it might normally.

The vision fades a little later and they're back in her kitchen.]

And that is why I had to stay. Everything was just...better there.

[wearingthestars]

Oh-

[It's strange. Not at all like when Emma Frost had taken hold of his and Tommy's mind, but still a sensation he wasn't sure he could fight if he wanted.

He could feel it, and even after the vision fades Billy's left blinking as he tries to process.]

...wow. That was-... [He touches his forehead and looks to her curiously] Is that what it's like for you? Always? [Not the singing planet part, obviously, but...feeling the others like that.]
