clean up effort

[Red mist curls between long slender fingers as Wanda gathers the dirt smeared across the floor into a ball of floating sediment. She's done this a few times with gases and other small objects and finds the familiar exercise to be comforting.

What would Steve say if he saw her using her powers like this?

She smiles to herself as the whirlwind of magic pulls the sediment and any unfortunate sea creatures into a large pile at the edge of the room. There is a brief moment of intense concentration as she pushes her palms together and then silence as the debris finally subsides. Wanda exhales a heavy tired breath, looking back at the floor to inspect her work. The floor still has to be scrubbed and clean but at least all of the dirt is out of the way.

After a short break she'll start scrubbing the floor with bleach and soap, once again using her powers to ease the monotonous task.]

around dorm 305

[The door to her apartment-esque living space has been propped open with a piece of rubble that Wanda has obtained from the cleaning effort. She hasn't done much to make her apartment her own but she's planning to slowly turn the space into something similar to her old room within the Avenger's Compound.

Subdued echoes of classic rock flow into the hallway along with the most irresistible aroma.

Thick heady scents of roasted meat and warm spices fill her apartment and then spill graciously into the hall.

Wanda hums softly, matching the tune of the playing song, as she cooks. From time to time red mist can be seen from the doorway or the occasional floating object as she uses her abilities to grab things from the other side of the apartment. Wanda isn't thrilled about being stuck in the sphere but she's adaptable and Earth will be fine without her for a little awhile.

Anyone is welcome to join her for lunch or maybe they'd rather tell her to keep it down and stop making the entire dorm smell like food.]

Comments

[minus1twin]

Wanda listened, her shoulders tensing only briefly at the mention of the Kree.

She didn't know the full expanse of the universe but her exposer to the Mind Stone had shown her visions spanning out to the far reaches of the galaxy. At the time she hadn't understood what it all meant but now... now she realizes that everything she had seen back then wasn't just the product of fears or hallucinations but the wisdom of the Mind Stone and the power that now resided in her. What little she remembered made little sense to her now but the Kree sent a familiar uncertain chill through her and she knew that it was all connected some how.

"You miss him?" She asked, unwilling to let her thoughts be voiced. From what Tommy has explained in their previous conversation, Mutants are born not created in his universe. Her life had been different and she wasn't willing to expose him to the horrors of Hydra's experiments.

[doubled_speed]

Miss him? Hardly. Tommy didn't know him long, or all that well beyond the guy being unfairly hot and seriously did his team have to replace him with a hotter white haired moderately fast and strong guy. Some of what he remembered was getting attacked by the guy once, but he'd already forgiven it. But really? It boils down to the fact that Tommy's used to people not being there, so he's not exactly all that surprised that even this place wouldn't let him hold onto something familiar.

In some ways, Wanda's a fucking miracle.

"I mean, his music choices sucked. But he was a good workout partner? I don't know, I didn't know him well."

[minus1twin]

Wanda smiles. "I could try to work out with you." It'd be like a mother daughter exercise.

She knew what it felt like to be alone and she didn't want Tommy to have to experience that. There wasn't anything she could do about the past but there was a whole future for them here while they were trapped here.

[doubled_speed]

Work out with him? He can lift around eight-hundred points, leg press a ton, and run a few hundred miles per hour. Yet he holds the snark back. Noh-Varr had been stronger, but Tommy had been worlds faster. And he’s worked out with the Young Avengers too, where no one could keep up.

It was more about the company anyway.

“I mean, you look fit and you’ve got magicky-stuff to help with life but... yeah. We could try. Your thoughts on jogging?”

[minus1twin]

Wanda had to practice lifting with her magic as well as without and there was a significant difference in the amount of weight she could lift between the two. It just took practice for her to lift more, just like it had taken practice for her to contain gas, explosions and other similar materials with her powers.

"I wouldn't mind you leaving me behind. Pietro used to carry me."

It was something she was used too.

[doubled_speed]

“Probably over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. He did that to Billy once.”

Tommy just chuckles at the memory. That was when he outraced his uncle. Yeah he knows that Pietro wasn’t going his full speed. He had to go slower to talk to Billy. But the idea is interesting.

“I could do that. Piggy back or bridal. It isn’t an issue. I’m really strong.”

/fade to black here?

[minus1twin]

Wanda felt her smile grow. "Bridal. That's how Pietro carried me too." Because she could sense his thoughts, she was always ready for him. He had to slow down but their movements were synchronized and as flawless as they could be.

She missed the feeling of the wind rushing by her.

Absolutely!

[doubled_speed]

"You've got a deal then. One carried jog when I go out in the mornings."

Which meant a lot actually. Time with his mom that no one could infringe on, even if they wanted to.
