[ 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. )

[ 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. )

[ 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]

[mageia]

[ 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

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

[mageia]

i don't mind that they're like that
i am, too, sometimes
i was just thinking of natasha, and of you, and of everyone i know who isn't

( of how easy it would have been for her and pietro to become something else entirely than what wanda is now. )

[ did he just get compared to the black goddamned widow? game respect game. ]

After all that runnin around with Red, you're a breath of fresh air yourself
I been meaning to ask you: You get any hits in on Stark? [ he's wanted to punch that guy in the face since well before the carousel slaughter ]

[mageia]

( wanda shouldn't smile at that, but she does. )

i dropped cars on him

[unloading]

[ well she got him back. it's even. ]

Nicely done

[mageia]

thank you

( but ) i wish it hadn't been necessary

[unloading]

What's the alternative, you brainwash everyone into holding hands?

[mageia]

i think that may be worse
