I didn't mean for it to happen
WHO: Billy, Tommy, Bucky/The Soldier, OTA
WHERE: Temba, YA House
WHAT: The aftermath
WHEN: Early June
WARNINGS: TBD
The Return & What Follows (for Tommy)
Billy screamed, and the world dissolved. The Shadow had shielded him from the worst of it, assaulted by those memories in a non stop barrage for however long they were in there, but now he remembered it all. He dimly registered he was back in his calibration room, hoping he'd managed to release the others before he collapsed heavily onto the floor. He shouldn't have been able to perform that level of magic here. And whatever had allowed it abruptly cut it off with his return, utterly drained from the experience.
He was unconscious, in and out of nightmares for days before he finally jolted awake in a cold sweat, practically tumbling from the bed in his race to the bathroom to retch.
What had he done?
Avoidance [OTA]
Even after he awoke, Billy didn't want to leave the house. He was ashamed and scared, and used the excuse of resting for far longer than was true.
A few faces managed to hunt him down there, and it wasn't like Billy could turn them away, eventually relenting and breaking down a few of those barriers.
After that it was a little easier to venture out. It took a few smaller outing before he was able to get as far as the Hospital, but there at least he could focus on work.
(For Bucky/The Soldier)
Billy knew he probably wanted to stay hidden away as much as he did right now, but after what they'd been through together in the other world, he trusted the man to help him with this. Tommy and the others would refuse, but he was confident Bucky would understand. And he needed to apologize.
His magic was still weak, but it led him to the general location where he was meant to be. Billy couldn't quite meet his eye when he found him, swallowing thickly and looking uncomfortable.
"...Hey. Could we talk?"
Apology- Network- Text
I can't begin to make up for what I put you all through this last month. I had no right, and I'm so sorry you all got caught up in this mess.
I know that doesn't begin to make it right.
They did something to me. Like Calibrations...but worse. I don't know how. And I'm not trying to make excuses for what I did but- I'm scared they'll do it again. To any of us. I thought people should know.

Do you need anything?

I'm okay. Tommy could use some distracting.
no subject
Uh, yeah, Billy? I might not be the one for that particular job.
Do you remember any of it?
no subject
I remember all of it.
I didn't...design that part. I'm sorry if that's made things awkward for you two.
no subject
Yeah. Me too.
It's fine. For seriously. Kinda sad no more family dinners for us all.
no subject
No one says we still can't.
no subject
That would be cool. September we could all like, do holidays and stuff. If you guys don't mind.
This is so weird, because I feel like you're my almost-brother now.
no subject
Kinda fast tracked through the getting to know each other, huh? I feel the same. You're basically family.
no subject
Yeah, pretty much. And I gotta warn you, dude, I'm pretty protective of my actual little brother, so... now that's you I guess. :)
That also means I'll totally do stuff for you while you recuperate.

I'm the best one, though. I have like, nineteen years of practice.

I'm going to tell Tommy you said that.
