[mageia]

thank you
i think

[unloading]

No, thank you
Give it a week and you'd put me out of a job

[mageia]

would you really mind that?

[unloading]

Going stir-crazy, pressing shells in the middle of the woods for no damn reason like one of those TEOTWAWKI nutjobs?
Yeah I'd mind that

[mageia]

but you don't kill for pleasure or entertainment
do you

what's teotwawki?

[unloading]

I kill cause it needs doing. Helps that it keeps my head on straight.

The End of the world as we know it [ thx marines ]

[mageia]

it wouldn't need doing anymore if i did all of it right
i mean
i won't
i'm not

( she's not sober enough to be having this discussion with him right now. )

i don't even think killing them is the right thing to do but
you could find a new way to keep your head on straight

[ no shit. things she's done, he figures she drinks all the time or very rarely. gonna go ahead and put all his chips on very rarely. ]

I had an old way, it's gone now
Don't you go trying to fix me. Could call up one of your coworkers if I felt like another round of that shit

[mageia]

( it's very rarely, and that's as it should be. )

i could, maybe
i won't, though
not unless you want me to

( sober, she wouldn't even have said as much. wanda doesn't like drawing attention to her powers in conversation with most people and this is — too much, probably. definitely. )

[unloading]

[ and there's the other reason it's very very good she's very very bad at killing folks. nobody needs another take of the kilgrave incident and he doesn't have time to nurture someone's budding assassin career to make sure that they don't, as much as we all love the professional. ]

Stay out of my head. That's for you sake, Glinda

[mageia]

i will
not just for my sake

( but because it's the right thing to do. )

i'm sorry

[unloading]

For what?

[mageia]

bringing it up

[unloading]

Nothing to forgive, ma'am
It's always there

1/2

[mageia]

i know

( she's talking about her powers, red sparks dancing between her fingers before she makes them disappear again. )

but still

[mageia]

do you ever get drunk

[unloading]

[ hey, it's her. she can't shelve her abilities any more than frank can bury his arsenal and walk away. but that's none of his business ]

I used to. Haven't got the downtime much anymore.
What's a witch's poison?

[mageia]

( she wouldn't mind hearing it, even if it is none of his business. but wanda is getting better at not relying too much on the opinions of others for her self-image. )

tonight? vodka

( the cheap kind that reminds her of trading a bottle back and forth with her brother in the sokovian winter. )

[unloading]

[ yep, that'd do it. ]

Try whiskey next time

[mageia]

okay
im glad you're still awake

( and texting her back. )

[unloading]

You caught me during work hours
I hear you gotta room with those guys too. That true?

[mageia]

am i keeping you from anything?
sometimes
sometimes just with one of them
clint snores

[unloading]

[ his silence in response to her question should be telling enough. it's an inventory night. ]

You and the sharp-shooter? Wouldn't have figured

[mageia]

me and

( that sounds like he means more than rooming in cheap motel rooms while on the run those times they leave wakanda )

not like that

[unloading]

Hey nothing to do with me, just thought being cooped up with those boy scouts would make anyone think about switching career tracks
