( they're a nice family is the first thing that matt thinks when everything unfurls in front of him. small, close, loving. it's what he'd almost imagined families to be like. his own was fractured, not quite with all its pieces but he loved his father with everything he had.
he can't help but smile at the image of a younger wanda, sitting with her brother, tolerating him as younger siblings do. even if her family weren't here, he thinks he would be able to feel their love for each other in way that everything looks homey and lived in.
but he can tell that the memories are shaky, that she's clinging to them tightly to make sure she doesn't lose more. he knows how that it. he has no memories of his own mother but he tries to conjure his father's face everyday to make sure doesn't forget.
still, the image gets blurrier and blurrier and he hates it.
when she brings him out of the memory, he reaches for her hand, fumbling a bit to try and find it before he grips it tightly. )
That's the most important part. Even when everything else is gone, that's still going to be there.
