"Maybe. Most magic acts I've seen involve tech...or at least their attempt at tech." Some of the showcases during the Stark Expo may as well have doubled as a magic act more than once.

"I know...but still...” Taking a deep breath, Sarah quieted for a moment so Annalee could listen to her heart. She knew from both her mother’s experiences (and her own) that there would always be assholes in the world. Men who thought they were superior just because.

It was frustrating. And the urge to slam her father’s shield into their face was very real but...Annalee was right. There was no use. Nothing was ever going to change their mind. Better to just ignore them.

Like she wished she could ignore the episode that sent her to Annalee’s office. A collapse in the training center after she had pushed herself too hard. Needless to say her family (and EJ) had been massively concerned. Insisted she go on bedrest until Annalee cleared her.

The pout that comes across Talia’s face is instant; it was clear the future Avenger hated being called out. Especially when it came to the flimsy excuses she often gave authority figures. 

Looking over at her companion, the young sorceress frowned. “It wasn’t supposed to be like this...” She had only meant to open a small door, to traverse the demon dimension in order to find the Gem of Amara. She had never meant to rain literal hell down upon New York.

Her parents (and Wong) were going to kill her.
