[Beck looks very pleased with himself, a few strange marks on his face, like bug bites. Or maybe stings?]

Hey Kid, I've got something for you. Took me a little while to get it all set up, but I think it'll with your whole situation.

[He turns to show off a small handmade bee box. It's made from salvage, but looks sturdy enough, a few bees buzzing around outside their new home, which has been carefully bundled up to help them deal with the chill.]

What do you think? You in the mood for honey? Give 'em a bit to get settled and they should do the rest.

I thought and Stark were friends. You seem to be taking this all pretty lightly?

[doubled_speed]

I'm friends with Stark. He teaches me stuff. But it's not my Stark. Not my problem.

[itsamysterio]

[Beck arches a brow but accepts the explanation easily enough.]

Fair enough, I guess.

[doubled_speed]

[The multiverse isn't much of his problem.]

Hey, if you want me to care about what that Stark decides and what he did because of who he is in my world, then I guess I gotta care about what my Mysterio did and apply it to you, right?

[itsamysterio]

[Beck raises his palms.]

I just agreed with you. You really do like to be contrary, don't you? I'm not looking for a fight. The only doubles I ever met were Elementals trying to destroy the Earth, I thought it might be different if it was someone close to you.

[doubled_speed]

Elementals, destroying the Earth? Huh, sounds like you need Strange to deal with that.

[itsamysterio]

[His features twist a little. He was supposed to be the tragic hero of that story, but he gave another nod.]

We would have happily accepted his help. Like I said, the Avengers- pretty sparse around there. Off world, or off just plan the grid.

[doubled_speed]

Yeah, they do it sometimes. Back home it was when Mom sorta killed a few of them. But they had lied to her and she was possessed by the Lifeforce.

[itsamysterio]

...Right. Mom?

[None of the Avengers had kids apart from Barton and Stark, did they?]

[doubled_speed]

Yeah. The Scarlet Witch.

going with wandavision canon of MCU her not going by that title yet

[itsamysterio]

Who?

[Beck's head turns with genuine curiosity.]

[doubled_speed]

The Scarlet Witch. Come on, I know she exists in your world.

[itsamysterio]

I don't know who that is...

[And he seems to be very genuine in that assertation.]

[doubled_speed]

Weird, because she exists there. You know, avenger, powers like red energy.

[itsamysterio]

You seem very sure of where I'm from.

[That does draw recognition though.]

Maximoff?

[doubled_speed]

So far, like, ninety percent of the people we've met that are and aren't from our world, or one near us, have been from the same world. The exception was a Bucky, who was a variation of THAT world. So seems fair.

Yeah, Maximoff.

[itsamysterio]

Well my world didn't have any of the Avengers, but Spider-Man's did. And Maximoff. Though no one called her by that name as far as I know.

I'm guessing she must be older in your world then?

[doubled_speed]

No, she's not older. Not by much.

[Yeah, that's a strange answer, isn't it?]

[itsamysterio]

...You really going to just leave that hanging? You know I'm going to ask.

[doubled_speed]

Magic.

[itsamysterio]

Of course.

[doubled_speed]

You don't believe me, do you?

[itsamysterio]

I actually do. Not the sort of magic I'm familiar with, but I can see it happening.

[doubled_speed]

Wow, well, at least it's a simple explanation then

[itsamysterio]

Makes you and your brother make a little more sense. I guess you would take after your uncle rather than your father. Is there a father?
