[action, october 15th-21st] house of m follow-up part 1
Visit him, yell at him, punch him in his stupid reality-bending face? Just be aware that Teddy is never very far away, and ready to protect his vulnerable boyfriend if necessary.]
[october 15th]
Which usually means she repeats herself kind of often because, let's face it, even with all the work she's taken on, Luceti's still a boring place. Clint's no longer here for her to pester and Tommy... Well, Tommy's something easiest to avoid.
When she walks in today, ready to tell Billy and Teddy all about the painstaking task of trying to hire a club staff, she stops dead on her feet in surprise. Okay, he doesn't look immediately better. But he's awake.]
Billy?
[october 15th]
His eyes are still blue, and he's been cleaned and bandaged; otherwise he looks... very unlike himself. Like all the spirit and personality that makes him him has been drained out, leaving only exhaustion. There's recognition in his expression as he gazes at her, but only just barely.]
...Are you real?
[october 15th]
The stab at her heart is as painful as the one she felt when she saw Cassie again for the first time in years. It's a mix of guilt and sadness, worry and helplessness that she absolutely hates. What good is being a superhero when you can't save the people that mean the most to you?
God, sometimes life really does suck.]
Yeah. I am. [She takes a deep breath, pushing her sunglasses on to the top of her head before walking towards the bed.] Want company?

Billy? It's me. How are you today?
[17th]
It hadn't felt right without Teddy.
Finally he glances over his shoulder at her, willing the memory of her identity to the surface of his mind.]
...I don't know. Is this... how the room's supposed to look?
[When you don't remember what your reality is supposed to be like, it's hard to tell when you've accidentally changed it.]
[17th]
[He seems very distant, or perhaps lost, despite sitting right there in front of her. The window has his interest. Mia crosses the room to it, and him, leaning toward the glass.]
If you'd like, I can open this for you. [It takes two working hands.]

[Action, October 16th]
She had not felt like she deserved to see anyone.
That didn't keep her away for long, though. In short order, she's slinking back in, nervously looking around. Worried that Rogue will be he here, or worse, have already been here, to exact an eye-for-an-eye type revenge.
It upsets her that she hasn't been able to catch up with Tommy.
She is surprised to find Billy awake and alone, and she pauses, looking around, uncertain if she should continue her approach or not. She likely just caught him while Teddy's in the washroom or something, but what if he wants to be alone? ]
... ... Billy?
[Action, October 16th]
[But- no. No. Her voice is a little different, her hair is shorter, and when he looks at her, he can tell that she's younger. His expression, hopeful, eager, and frightened at first shifts to appear apologetic instead, rubbing absently at his forehead.]
No, I- I'm sorry. Wanda. You're Wanda. It's hard to- I'm still sorting it out- I didn't mean to say that.
[Action, October 16th]
But. It wasn't real. Not any more.] ... I'm still trying to-- sort it out, myself.
...
How... are you doing? [She moves across the room, looking to occupy a chair near his bed. She is purposefully slow in her actions, as if to defy her desires.]

[Action] October 20th
[Plenty of her friends already knew by now. Billy was even a fellow superhero! So why hesitate?]
[It isn't until around the end of the week that she finally just goes for it, making her way into his room. She can't help but feel awkward. She's not exactly a stranger to Billy in this form because of what went on during the invasion, but she never thought to reach out to him as herself after that -- or anyone from that time, for that matter.]
...uhm. Hi.
[...off to a great start.]
[Action] October 20th
So when Kari enters the room and greets him, all she gets is a nervous, slightly vacant look, expectant and confused. Who is she? What does she want?
She's... actually kind of familiar, now that he's looking at her. Was she...?]
[Action] October 20th
You're probably wondering why I'm here, right? Or, you know, who I am. We kinda knew each other during that whole invasion thing, remember? I mean, if you don't, that's okay. A lot of people don't remember much from that week anyway...
[And after spending a week in his own magical lala land, he probably wouldn't want to remember having his brain messed with in the past. Nice going, Kari.]
But. I mean. I wouldn't normally just show up out of the blue like this, but after everything that happened, I just wanted to see how you were doing, so...

This isn't really what he wanted to see so soon after getting the happy Billy back... It isn't really what he wanted to go through that week either, but that could be set aside for more important matters. He raps quickly against the door, hesitating only a minute before pushing it open. ]
You better be decent!
[action, october 16th]
Tommy...
He'd wronged Tommy almost as much as Teddy- and certainly as much as Wanda. He'd forced them both into a family with him, a real-not-real family, only to take it away in a matter of days. They hadn't deserved that, not in the slightest. And maybe it's worked out okay in Wanda's case, more or less, but Tommy?
He never really believed we were a family before. Why would now be any different?
Still, Tommy has a right to do whatever he wants- accuse, yell, hit, shun, whatever...]
[action, october 16th]
He drops into the visitor room chair. ]
I brought you some chips. Figured you'd be pretty sick of hospital food already.

She pauses in the doorway, waiting to see how he'd react and if she should be here at all.]
Billy. You're awake.
[Action, October 18th]
you deserve that
He doesn't speak, but his eyes drop wordlessly to her hip, searching for some kind of weapon. Stupid, stupid; she's a spy. She could be hiding a dozen somewhere and he'd never know it. Her whole body is a weapon. She's the freaking Black Widow.
If she's here for him then he's already dead, isn't he?]
Re: [Action, October 18th]
Breathe, Billy. I'm not here to hurt you. I just came to see if you were alright. May I come in?

He simply teleports into the room and looks at Billy coldly.]
[Action, October 17] i screamed a bit irl
Suffice to say that Billy's smiling a bit when Loki arrives, gazing out his window like he's done more often than not since waking up, but when he turns around to greet his visitor - sensing his arrival, magically or otherwise - the smile fades. He looks... so angry...
And why shouldn't he? You ruined everything. You made promises and you fought and you ruined it all.
His eyes had been mostly brown before Loki's arrival, but now, the blue slips back into place, his stability failing, the unnatural power possessing him internally curling around his mind like a blanket. Safe. He's safe. Loki couldn't hurt him, not with the magic here, not with Teddy so close by. Not unless Billy let him.
He's... halfway inclined to let him, though, if it came to that. He's earned it. And so, his voice is eerily calm when he speaks:]
Are you here to kill me?
[Action, October 17] crying
Oh no. You might then think you'd begun to pay for what you did.
[Action, October 17] strangled noises
[Action, October 17] didn't take long did it
[Action, October 17] it never does
[Action, October 17] you're less fun to kick if you don't struggle, Billy
[Action, October 17] he's not here to have fun
