Welcome to Eastview

And she wanted it back.

"I know, I know you didn't mean to," Lilia assured him gently, seeing it was affecting him. "And any magic can be fixed. It's just...."She gave a wince. "...figuring it out. And it could be worse."

He kept his eyes down, staring at the ground. It wasn't as bad of a mess up as creating The Road. He knew that. It was still bad. Still changing someone without permission, still could have been so much worse. He could have taken her head off. "Maybe that's enough for today..."

"I'm not mad," she corrected. "I'm frustrated, but I'm not mad. You made a mistake. We've all made mistakes. That's how you learn, okay? But maybe," she added, stepping forward and taking Billy's hands in hers and putting them slowly down at his side. "We keep those holstered for now"

"I didn't mean to," he said quietly. For all that was worth. Didn't mean to meant nothing. He was sure Wanda didn't mean to when she hurt the people of Westview. He didn't mean to kill Sharon Davis or Alice, either. They were sill dead. "Can it be fixed?"

He was still sure part of her was mad at him. She had every right to be.

"You were supposed to use the spell to move around time, see through it, not make time move through us!" Lilia protested, looking down at herself before hurrying to check the nearest reflection. The face looking back felt like a stranger.

Sighing heavily, she tried not to get frustrated; this was how witches learned, by making mistakes. And this wasn't the end of the world-- she was sure it could be fixed, even if it might take a while.

"I suppose we should be grateful you didn't accidentally cast it on yourself. I've lost about two hundred and fifty years, which means you'd..." Lilia trailed off, looking at Billy. "Well, maybe we shouldn't think about where that would put you."

His whole birth thing was still something he was wrapping his head around.

They will defend or agree, it could be ANYTHING! SAY ANYTHING TO THEM!!

"I’m not saying I’m the best, but the Avengers would be lost without me."

"Bad plan? I call it thinking outside the box."

"Does it ever get tiring being right all the time, [name]?"

"I’m just here to save the world... and crack jokes."

"I could be at home, but this is way cooler."

"What’s the worst that could happen on this mission?"

"We’re gonna die, but we’ll look great doing it."

"I’m a walking disaster, but the fun kind."

"I could take down the universe... maybe."

"Spider bite, thunder god, or rich guy in a suit. I’m in."

"I’m not surprised you betrayed us. Again."

"Life or death situation... no pressure."

"I should be scared. But I’m not."

"Save the world first, team up later."

"You’ve never seen a giant green guy throw a car?"

"Does messing things up count as saving the world?"

"I’m not arguing. Just enthusiastically debating."

"I’d totally save you. If you needed it."

"Too much firepower? Impossible."

"If you tell anyone, I’ll deny it. All of it."

"I have a bad feeling... but it’s my default mood."

"I’ll stop with the jokes... for now."

"You plan. I’ll handle the explosions."

"I saved the day last time. Just saying."

"Not saving the world yet? I’ll get there."

"No plan? Just pure confidence and chaos."

"I don’t need a cape to look cool... but it helps."

"Being a superhero isn’t as glamorous as it looks."

"Wing it and hope for the best. Solid plan."

"I’m saving the world. Can we talk later?"

"I imagined this being more glamorous."

"Fine, but you owe me coffee."

"Think that’ll stop me? Cute."

"Can we stop arguing? We’ve got a city to save."

"I’m not a hero. Just good at punching things."

"You have a point, but I’ve got cool weapons."

"I may have broken a few things... but not the universe."

"Don’t make me call Hulk. You know what happens."

"My sarcasm is unmatched. Deal with it."

"I’m definitely the best at making things explode."

dialogue.

i hate this country.

it would go against everything i believe in.

who doesn't love the company of monsters?

i don’t care what you think, i want your truth.

you have to work quickly, tie up all the loose ends before it’s too late.

well, you beat him up, didn’t you?

this world of yours in its current form is one hell of a shithole.

it’s only a tool for me. i myself am only a tool.

i was just fifteen then, i was so stupid...

i left a bad impression.

that'd be why you smell like a flower!

i can't hear you, some pig keeps squealing.

we've got to take action, immediately!

i lost her. that's what happened.

it wouldn’t be very chic of me to call three hours earlier than agreed.

i must have caught a little cold.

the things i do want to remember, i don’t remember.

you don't understand, i'm leaving today.

are you sure we're at the right place?

party's over. go home.

you are never alone. you have yourself!

how is he so hardcore?!

where did you get my number?

it's good to know that you're still cool.

this is my crown jewel! this is the apple of my eye!

you always listen to me, don't you.

i could give you some slick answer, but it would be too cruel.

you and your taxis. i'd rather walk.

do you want me to make you some tea?

listen, be a good man, tell me what it is.

i feel like... i don't know how to feel.

everything is still possible for this world.

when i do my job, i don't do it for the rule of law.

the need for closeness is just so deadly.

where do you want to flee from then? countries are enormous.

i sincerely hope there will be a next time.

it's beautiful when you believe in a person.

i put my heart into what i do.

i love the world, every last atom of it.

"Are you in danger, too?"

"You're a queen. Don't beg."

"All I have to offer you… is me."

"Speak to your assailant? Why?"

"And I'd probably try to kiss you."

"You can't even protect yourself."

"He was beheaded this morning."

"Love is irrelevant to people like us."

"Trust is a luxury I can no longer afford."

"You have no intention of marrying me!"

"I don't know who to believe or to trust."

"You're very quiet. Are you warm enough?"

"Such games we play against those we love."

"For a royal, there's no such thing as safety."

"All engagements really do is hold alliances."

"Don't trouble yourself over niceties. I don't."

"You have a strength you have yet to realize."

"o see you smile is to feel the sun, your grace."

"But you won't love me. You won't let yourself."

"Somehow, our love seems so fragile suddenly."

"How lucky I am to have such steadfast support."

"Do you need lives at stake to take this seriously?"

"But it's all settled now. (Name)'s been executed."

"I am his queen, and I demand to speak with him."

"Danger surrounds me here, and I am in your debt."

"You cannot relent. You must continue to sacrifice."

"Men must find something to kill from time to time."

"History is written by survivors, and I am surely that."

"I'm too high-spirited to be a widow. People will talk."

"Don't hide yourself away, or I'll have to come find you."

"You don't want to marry me. You don't want this at all."

"You have already achieved the glory, now do the good."

"I brought you something to decorate your swords with."

"We have positioned ourselves for the worst kind of pain."

"I'm going to be king someday, responsible for my people."

"And you… you shared a bed with him. There are witnesses."

"I'd rather have hope with you than certainty anywhere else."

"I'm not scared of death anymore; I'm scared of being alone."

"Take care, child. If anyone knew you were even asking this…"

"Keeping an eye on you requires vigilance both day and night."

"You don't sound very enthusiastic. You were playmates once."

"Why do you sound so… are you alone? Are you with someone?"

"Sooner or later, blood will be spilled. It's just a matter of whose."

"I don't believe in monsters. I never have. But I do believe in fear."

"She had skinny legs, a missing front tooth, and strong opinions."

"I wouldn't be so smug, my dear. You just let the devil into our home."

"What happens when being a good king means being a bad husband?"

"I know how to manage men and I know how to pick the winning side."

"You do do realize that we're going to be married someday, don't you?"

"I don't know who you are, or why you hide, but your warning saved me."

"I shouldn't have said what I did. There were other ways of handling this."

"Men will trust you and die. These are the first, but they won't be the last."

"I won't let anyone hurt you or your family. Whatever it is, we have to fight."

"Don't get sentimental about a father who was never sentimental about you."

"Words don't bother me. Threats don't bother me, either. Losing bothers me."

"If the end of your story is a happy one, then does how it began really matter?"

"Is that what bothers you? Her power? Or the fact that she's young and pretty?"

"I will lose my head. But not before I watch you burned to death. I promise you that."

"My country and I are one and the same. Forget that, and you've forgotten who I am."

"You may hate me right now, but I've done this for you. I love you and I've put you first."

"If you want to protect your realm from these devils, you must kill the monster they serve."

"I will rise, and rise, and rise, until I am rich and powerful. But I will never be yours, again."

"You must leave immediately. This was an assassination attempt. You were nearly poisoned."

"You may have behaved foolishly, but you are not responsible for your countryman's actions."

"I marvel that you could have been brought up at court and still understand it so poorly."

"Nobles, servants, stable boys, the man who clips the hedges in the garden, it doesn’t matter."

"I have lost good men, and I'm not prepared to sacrifice any more, especially if I can help it."

"Nothing bothers me more than problems I've already solved coming back to be problems, again."

"Don't you think that we owe it to each other, to our families, to our countries, to give it a chance?"

"Gossip poisons, too. It can poison a young queen's reputation, her heirs' right to the throne, an entire kingdom."

"Expect me to make you a lesson to my other problems… by grinding you into the dust you no longer see fit to sweep."

"You're beautiful and clever and unpredictable, but it… it doesn't matter. What matters is what's right for my country."
