While Istredd rarely claims friends, it's not easy for him, he and Wanda's connection has been so strong from day one. They've felt so many things from each other and toward each other. He has shared with her in a way he never has before, and it feels so natural. He will not fail her now when she needs him most.
Her illusion, the magic, is trying to get her through Pietro. If he lets her stay here with it, she won't manage to get out of it any time soon. As hard as it is to lose, and lose all over again, he cannot leave her to this madness. He cannot lie to her though and keep the trust they've earned.
"I truly wish I could."
He was hoping to have her pick it willingly but with the delusion gripping and holding her down, he had to do it the hard way. Istredd moves forward quickly enough to take her hand and he psychically pulls her. Out of where they were hiding, out of the destroyed apartment, out of her brother's hand, and back into reality. Or a version of it, anyway. He uses his telepathic control to add her underneath his shield so that the glowing blue surrounds her as well, even from her own chaos. It can still burst in, but he is hoping that if he holds onto her tight, she may be able to relax into it.
It does mean that he ends up pulling her effectively into his arms, mentally and physically, but they are friends and he has a feeling after what she was just forced to relive, she could use an embrace.
