“Oh, Billy, Billy, Billy… I could’ve told you tha—” At first, he wasn’t fully paying attention to what his brother was saying, but then it clicked. He cut himself off abruptly, turning to Billy with a confused look taking over his features. “When did that happen to you?! What the hell have you been getting into without me?!”

“Tommy, Santa has something extra special for you this year! You're at the top of the Nice List.”

Luna might think she was sneaky, but he was sneakier. It takes a lot to prank a prankster. And Tommy liked to think he was the best at it—at least in the family—which is why he always kept an eye on everyone when they were gathered, just to avoid getting caught in some revenge prank for something he’d probably done. And with his speed, this was a relatively easy task.

He pretended not to notice when she added salt to his cereal, then used his speed to swap his bowl with the one his mom was using while she was distracted. Turning to his cousin, he smirked. “Mom’s not gonna be happy when she finds out you put salt in her cereal.” Then he ran away from the scene.

"What are you talking about?" He didn’t have time to turn to his cousin, too busy analyzing the situation in front of him. "We went on a treasure hunt, and we found the treasure—which, sure, came in the form of trouble, but at least we found something."

@billyktothemax said: "I'm so sorry. I tried. I tried so hard, I couldn't find anyone else, I was running out of time, I - ! I wanted something better I'm sorry."

"Stop!" He hadn’t meant to yell, but he did, because it was too much. Too much to process. Too much to think about. And honestly, Tommy didn’t want to think about any of that. Things were the way they were—neither of them could change what had already been done.

He sighed, glancing at Billy for a second. "You don’t have to explain. It’s… fine." It wasn’t, but he wasn’t about to blame Billy for his problems. For his life. Maybe he should, but he wouldn’t. "At least you brought me back. That’s… better than nothing."

@inchaosthereiscalculation said: "Don't cry. You're perfect."

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.

Tommy widened his eyes and raised a finger, leaning forward slightly.

"Hey, you’re smelling that?" He sniffed a couple of times before turning his gaze to Ian. "Smells like envy to me—because someone wasn’t invited to join the Young Avengers."

He tried to keep a straight face, but it lasted only a fraction of a second. A sarcastic, teasing grin quickly took over.

Being part of the Young Avengers was a pretty big deal for tommy. It meant a lot to him. He loved that team. They were his family, so hearing the disdain in the other’s voice really got under his skin a bit. Crossing his arms, he let out a scoff, already growing tired of being there. He didn’t like to feel locked, after all.
