Agatha thought they were summoning a green witch. Instead, she got...Wanda Maximoff. Groaning, she shook her head at the other, pointing at her angrily.

No one could ever say that Billy wasn't an easy target. He was a make up wearing gay Jewish kid - and he was proud of it. He was used to being a bit hassled, maybe shoved around a bit, and honestly, it wasn't a big deal. He was going to roll with it like he usually did, shrug it off once they got bored -

he just wasn't expecting them to drop and run on a dime. He turned, trying to figure out who was behind him that made them short-circuit. Billy had been expecting Eddie, honestly, not - "aren't you dead?"

"Please. Don't." Billy said quietly. He didn't know how to react to that. It was an odd, twisting sort of sensation, but enough of him remembered his mom, to take a half step backwards, away from Wanda. He had to respect that much, and he couldn't-? He couldn't. "You don't have to talk like that."

When was the last time Tommy cried in front of someone? Probably never. Actually, when was the last time he cried at all? He couldn’t say anymore. Tommy never did well with emotions—especially sadness. It was always better to be angry than sad, and that’s how he’d lived for as long as he could remember.

But… so much has happened the past few months. And he felt comfortable around the Wanda. Probably because of that, he couldn’t stop the small tears that stubbornly escaped. He wiped them away furiously, determined not to let any more fall.
