It was my fault.

[there's no point in cutting corners. it was her magic that spiraled out of control, latched onto something incredibly private, all because her intent was that she wanted to uncover something dark, something deliciously upsetting, just so she could feed her own pain.

but she offers a small smile nonetheless, because it means so much to her, that peter would not blame her for what she's done. wanda knows he is smart enough to know where fault lies.

this really speaks to how beautiful and generous his heart is.]

It's not easy. [parsing through these feelings—keeping them in, allowing others to know about them. neither option is easier.] Vision would constantly walk into my room to see how I was doing, after Pietro's funeral. I found it so irritating, but... it helps.

[she rubs her hand gently along his back, and then allows for distance between each other. their knees knock together, but nothing more.]

You can talk to me any time you want, Peter.

[looking around at the work-in-progress that is peter's horizon, she settles back on the couch.]

I only saw these kinds of apartments on American sitcoms. Do you know Friends? [PLZ] Their apartments were much bigger.

[piqure]

[ it wasn't, actually, he wants to say.

but sometimes, good intentions still lead to messes. he knows that too and it doesn't feel like a point that they need to keep dwelling on, he thinks and it's easier to react with just the slightest shake to his head against her shoulder before righting himself away.

he looks down at his hands again, before rolling his shoulders, and looking back out at the incomplete horizon. edges of memories of everything it wants to be, too much all at once. ] Thanks, Wanda. [ not alone. ] You too. [ for now. ]

[ the question catches him off-guard though, and his eyes are quickly snapping up to look around the room again, then back at her. his mouth tilts in tired amusement. ] Oh, yeah! Yeah, I know Friends — [ hey are you trying to say this place is small!! ] — their places were definitely bigger than what you can get now. I guess it depends where you look.

[ he hums, as if realizing he never really knew, or asked: ] Where were you, before getting brought here? [ country, planet. universe? ]

[wanda is glad that her comment offers some levity to their situation, despite all that they've witnessed so far from each other. it brings a smile to her face that he's quick to recognize the sitcom she would watch a lot of, in a faraway country, unawares of the reality of a place such as new york city.]

I never actually got to go to New York City.

[so she has no scale of it, only ones from a very particular viewpoint.

she is curious about his question, though, frowning for a moment as she thinks about it, until she lands on what she's talking about.]

I was... in some part of Sokovia, but [a light shake of her head] it's obviously not Sokovia anymore. Thanos was defeated, and it's been, maybe a few months? I didn't keep a calendar or phone with me.

[with a slight sigh and a bit of a shrug, she straightens her back before she speaks.]

I don't have anywhere else to go.
