[open] I know it's tearing you apart

[seeingscarlet]

Who: Wanda Maximoff and YOU!
When: Late July
Where: The Safe Space
What: Open office hours! Got something you need to get off your chest or need some assistance getting to sleep? Wanda can help...probably.
Warnings: Extremely likely mentions of horrible things, including slavery and violence.

Wanda's office has mostly returned to normal by now, aside from the bookshelf and the fountain. They still seem to serve their purpose despite being glassed, and hopefully the soft sounds of the water will have the desired effect on anyone who comes to see her.

Because after a month like this, how could she not expect people to need help coping or getting to sleep? The Caducans' attack or the Ingress accident or the outpost alone would have been bad enough, but all three in such a short period of time left ripples in the psychic current of the ship. She doesn't even need to reach to feel it. Thanks goodness her own room is shielded.

Now that her family is safe, Wanda makes sure to be around for a few more shifts than she normally would, just in case.

And while Wanda might normally fuss and tell him to be more careful...this time, she doesn't. She knows her brother, knows that being locked up and shackled for days must have been torture even without factoring in the hard labor. If he wants to run, she's not going to actively stop him.

"It is better than being in everyone's heads looking for trouble." The odd thing is, she doesn't even remember what prompted her to actually apply for a job transfer. The first Ingress malfunction hurt and scrambled her memories, but as far as she was aware, it wasn't the best job ever - far from it - but she didn't mind working with Bel and Thor.

Still, whatever prompted this, being able to actually use her powers to directly help people is much better.

She reaches for the cake, more careful in how she peels it open to hopefully avoid getting frosting on herself. "How do you feel?"

"Now you get to go in looking at their feelings," he jests, chocolate smeared at the corners of his smile. Peter prefers this for her. She gets to be safe inside a nice room working nice hours instead of doing something more likely to get her hurt. He thinks its better not to say that part out loud. Wanting to keep her wrapped up out of trouble is what started his messes in the first place. "You'll probably be pretty good at this, I'm not all that surprised you're here."

Maybe it's projection, but he thinks she'd be the easiest person on the ship for the crew to talk to.

"Better." Peter answers after a moment. It's mostly true. His bruises have faded, he's gotten back to his regular diet of more calories than any one human should need. Outside of his knee, he's physically doing fine. "What about you? How's Wanda doing?"

"And no one will try to make me use my powers on someone to hurt them. I don't think I would be asked to do more than make someone sleep." She thinks it must have come down to that, after the captains started talking about stricter policies. She'd been afraid of them preemptively doing something to people like her to seal their abilities or forcing her to be much more invasive in what she did do...and not having control over when and how she uses her powers makes Wanda nervous.

But hopefully it really won't be a problem anymore.

"I'm all right. No more glass." She takes a bite of the cupcake and doesn't do much better than Peter at keeping it from getting everywhere. "I would feel better if we could stop...all of this, but I'm glad we found everyone." And as much as she hates it, there are very good reasons the captains are going to great lengths to keep the Moira from being noticed. They're in no shape for the kind of heroics they pulled on Ceta to save the sky whales.

"Have they been? Asking you to hurt people?" He looks up sharply, expression dropping into something concerned and upset. "The fight on the ship, did they make you do it?"

He's still seated but his body tenses in preparation to leave. If she was used, he's got words for the Captains, for anyone who was put in charge.

"And there weren't any effects from it?" He's not sure how the glass really effected anyone on board. He'd seen it, sure, but that's not the same as experiencing it. "You have to take a win when you can. You saved people Wanda. Me and Billy and Pietro, we'll all here. You did that. That's a good day, I think."
