“You did the right thing there, you know. I know that it might not feel like it, after everything that happened.. but what matters is that you did the right thing in the end. And that you turned things around and made sure it couldn’t happen to anyone else. That’s commendable.” Daisy had a feeling that Wanda didn’t really get to hear that too often. And even if she had her own qualms with what the Scarlet Witch had done during her time with the Darkhold, she had a heart. And she could see that Wanda had one too. “Maybe it does. But you sure burned away a good chunk of it. Or an important chunk, at least.”

“Part of me wonders if she drew some inspiration from Westview.” Daisy commented quietly, her voice dark as she thought back to the picket fences and green grass inside of the fake town. She didn’t have any context from the last Pleasant Hill to draw comparisons to, but she did get a rundown from Monica about with Westview. She’d heard enough to know the two were far too similar. But none of this was Wanda’s fault, and she didn’t need to make the other woman feel any guiltier than she already did. “I’m assuming you’ve heard about the spell too?”

“Honestly I’m surprised you even have a phone.” Bucky admitted, a hint of a smile tugging at the corner of his lips as he finally glanced back up at her and shrugged. From what he’d heard recently, Wanda had isolated herself somewhere off the grid for awhile after everything with Westview. She was more present now, but he got the feeling she wasn’t really the phone type. Then again, neither was he. He still embarrassingly got wrapped up in using his iPhone himself. Never in a million years did he ever think he’d live to see technology advance the way it has. He watched quietly and a bit awkwardly as she put her contact in, and once she was finished he took the phone back and typed out her name in the field. There was a hesitation before he shot her a quick text. Hi. Once it was sent, he held his phone up and raised his brows before shoving it back into his pocket. “There. Now you have my number. I’m only a call away if you ever need anything. I live in Brooklyn.” Her next words earned an actual smile from him as he nodded at her. “Yeah, yeah I’d say so. It’s progress for me too, honestly.”

Matt couldn’t help the way his face brightened as their conversation shifted over to Jen. It was hard to contain it, with how well things were going between the two of them. Things with Jen were easy, and fun. They still hadn’t officially defined their relationship, but he was happy with being exclusive with her for the time being. “That’s understandable. I wouldn’t expect you to keep up with the happenings in the lawyer world.” She-Hulk was a pretty hot topic, even beyond legal gossip. She’d made national news after she hulked out and punched Titania through a wall in the middle of a court session. “If you’re asking me for advice, I’d say you’re off the hook. Although it would probably be a good idea to lay low for a bit, which it seems you’ve already been doing.”

“Honesty is difficult. You shouldn’t feel too bad about that.” Maybe Stephen was giving Wanda too much leeway after she literally tried to kill him and America, but if he’d learned anything from that entire experience it was that she needed more support in her life. Support that he’d neglected to give her after the Accords and certainly after Thanos. If he’d been there from the beginning, maybe Westview would have never happened. “Because I can see you deserve it,” He paused then to cast his gaze onto her, his eyes softening slightly as he tried to think of how to phrase his next words. “You’re not a bad person. Bad things have happened to you, and I can’t really blame you for turning to the Darkhold the way you did. Especially after the way we all didn’t.. reach out, after Thanos.”

“Yeah, I know.” Bucky’s voice cracked a bit as he spoke, needing to break eye contact with her for a moment. He could understand that feeling of having atone for something so terrible that it felt like you’d never come back from it. He knew the terrible feeling of grief that encompassed you that came with it. Wanda had been through a lot, more than anyone should ever have to go through, and Bucky knew that there was nothing he could say that would really make that okay. Not until she found it in her to move forward rather than get caught in the cyclone of those feelings. He was still working through his own shit, but if there was anything he knew Wanda needed, it was a friend. Someone to be there to talk these kind of things through with, or just a shoulder to lean on. He couldn’t help but to feel like if he’d provided that support earlier, she would have stopped before things escalated with the Darkhold. But there was no sense getting caught in the what-ifs. He was there right now for her and that’s what mattered. “You don’t need to apologize, seriously.” Pausing, he pulled his phone out and frowned a bit before holding it out to her open on the contact page. “I don’t think we ever got to the exchanging contacts stage during all of the shit with Steve and Tony. Here, put your number in.”

“I don’t blame you for sitting out. I can understand how Pleasant Hill might have been a little too close to home for you.” That wasn’t to say others didn’t blame her, but Stephen kept that to himself. He’d learned that it did no one any good to ignore Wanda and how she might feel about things, and he knew he needed to show her that respect. Someone had to. 

There was just a smile given. to that, Valentina deciding she didn’t want to lay too many of her cards on the table right that moment. She had a good thing going with the Thunderbolts so far, but she couldn’t help but to introduce herself to the Scarlet Witch herself when given the chance. It was just too tempting. “Woah there, we’re just having an adult conversation here, Wanda. There’s no need for the hostility.”

Stephen nodded once. “This might just be another dead end, but do you have any ideas for a next step? I’m sure it’s been on your mind.”

“I don’t think so. It’s not like they could force you to do anything even if they wanted to.” Matt was earnest in his response, despite the severity of everything they were discussing. Wanda had definitely made plenty of mistakes, mistakes that most people don’t come back from, but she did. And he believed that most people had the opportunity to come back from those mistakes and be a better person in the end. Most people. Not Wilson Fisk, but Wanda was no Fisk. “I guess so. She-Hulk only recently became more than just Jennifer Walters, though.”

Stephen pondered that for awhile, returning the tight smile as he stared off at the window across from them in the Sanctum and watched some of the cars pass by. Hadn’t he dragged others down with him back in Pleasant Hill? When he let his emotions get the best of him and lead the charge into town? It felt foolish in hindsight, but now that he’d had some time to reflect he could recognize how impulsive that had been. How short sighted the hunt for Clea made him. It would be difficult, but he’d need to learn to live with the way things were. And as it stood, Clea Strange had her husband back. Even if his gut still twisted with resentment, he was happy for her. Truly. “Thank you, Wanda. It.. means something, for you to talk with me like this. I know the circumstances haven’t been great, but I appreciate it.”

“Hill’s been taken care of.” When Daisy realized how final that sounded, she raised her eyebrows and quickly backtracked. “She’s not dead, though. Just on a mandatory medical leave.”

An orange portal leading to the Sanctum dissipated behind Stephen as he turned around and faced the person in front of him. “This better be important. I don’t know if you’ve heard, but reality is still falling apart.” The bags that had plagued his eyes for the past few months were gone now, which was an improvement, but things were far from fine.

Daisy gave a hard swallow at that, not sure what to really say in response. After hearing of the destruction the Scarlet Witch wrought, she was definitely hesitant to just fully agree with much of what Wanda said. She had sympathy, of course, but she didn’t need to cross any boundaries there. She nodded slightly though at the question and practically shuddered at the thought of Aida’s scheme. “The Darkhold’s influence was pretty clear once she did finally get that body. It was a combination of the book and some tech, but she came back and tried to kill me and my entire team.” And that was after kidnapping them and forcing them into a VR fascist state. Point being, Daisy was completely fine with every copy of that book being gone forever. “That’s good to hear, at least. It’s evil as all hell.”
