[ the tone she takes when she says his name reminds him, shockingly so, of nancy. a firm, brave, surety that has whatever panic and worry and fear that had been building in his chest settle in place. it calms him down in a way he hadn't realized had such control over him, but that he's suddenly, very glad for.

he's the reason his horizon is this terrible. that the people who have showed up here have been so terrified. but wanda isn't - if anything, she is more sure and solid than anything else in this place, even as the ground shakes under them again. im the scarlet witch she says, and the title doesn't mean anything at all, but just like when eddie compares steve to his metal musicians, he doesn't need to know the details to know there is weight to the phrase itself.
the mention of demons does worry him, but not enough to draw him away from what she says next. the firm, confident words of their next plan. all steve can say is- ] Okay. [ because she's right. they will fight whatever it is that's out there.
and - even if steve doesn't really know why he knows this - she will protect him, and that feeling alone (no matter how foreign, how strange, how different it feels) is enough for him to believe it. ] Okay. [ he says again with a nod, letting go of the wall and grabbing for his bat. ] Just tell me when.
