Tony hadn’t expected this kind of reaction from Stephen, though he was sure it was more to do with the fact that he was currently impaled on a metal pole if nothing else. The explosion had shocked them all, with little time to evacuate before it went off. He was sure that he had blacked out not long after, awaking to a pain in his shoulder which proved to be more than just a knock. Looking up at the Sorcerer, he gave him a slight smirk, though his face was pale. “Easy Doc, I’m fine... just a little injury,” he teased, “don’t think you’re getting rid of me that easily. You alright though? You’re not hiding any injuries from me are you?” 

I should really tell Stephen how grateful I am for his help. To have him here to speak to if I’m worried about my powers, it’s been a blessing. For years I thought that I was alone but he has shown me that we’re very much alike, and that I shouldn’t be so afraid. 

Picking up the ball carefully, she glanced at the note before tilting her head. Was this real? Could she really communicate with the dead with this? She was curious, though she wondered if maybe she should contact Kaecilius first to have him show her. 

Wanda rested her hand against the Sorcerer’s cheek, a faint smile on her lips as she glanced up at him. The battle hadn’t gone as they had planned and she had been wounded. Still, she wanted to be strong, even as she laid in his arms, not wanting for him to lose sight. “We can’t always win,” she whispered, not wanting to use up too much energy. Her vision was already starting to blur and the pain was starting to grow unbearable. “I’m sorry I couldn’t have done more... but I don’t think there was anything else we could have done.... they were just too strong..” 

“You promise?” 

// eee I’m glad that you think so <3 they bring me joy too and I can’t wait to see what our muses end up getting up to!

Nat leaned into Stephen as they walked, smiling as he lead her to the Ferris wheel. "You're lucky I'm not afraid of heights or this wouldn't be fun at all." The view at the top was amazing, her head resting on his shoulder as she carefully and gently held his hand.
