Talent for running? More than that. It had been beaten into him. From a young age. Running, or wanting to run. It wasn’t until he got his mutation that the ability to manage it had come to him. But yeah, he was like her brother. In so many damn ways. His dish is washed and dried before she even gets to the sink. And then he starts on her bowl.
“The Shepherds wouldn’t look for me. They wouldn’t care. That much is beyond obvious. Billy’s parents have learned not to press too much so it would take them months to notice their precious boy’s not-twin wasn’t around. My...”
No, he won’t list of his soul-parents. Can’t tell Wanda about her or Vision and their connection to him.
“All I have is Billy. And my team. And if Billy is looking, if he could, he’d be here now, tearing this place apart to find me. But he isn’t. So he doesn’t know I’m gone or he can’t get here. Which means that I guess it doesn’t matter if he’s looking. I’m just... I’m here alone.”
Which is an inherent state of Tommy Shepherd. So he finishes the bowl and dries it. Puts them both away. See, he can handle it. Alone is easy. People don’t go his speed anyway. So that’s just a thing.
He does sigh before turning to look at her.
“You’d be a good mom to some kids someday. I know Scarlet Witch was supposed to have been amazing with her kids back in my world. Before they died and all. Anyway, I suppose I should thank you for dinner. So, uh, that.”
