[And he builds illicit weapons but he's not about to just up and admit that to anyone. not even Wanda who seems trustworthy enough but also against illicit weapon construction so... Yeah.
Somehow he does not think she'd approve of his pass-times.]
Apparently my skill set doesn't lend well to 'normal' professions.
I think Tony mentioned 'em a bit, yeah. Tell me more about 'em.
[He likes as many perspectives as he can get. Bruce also used to talk to him about stuff.
He makes a thoughtful hum at her answer. While the initial thought of "Sorceress" did cross his mind, it didn't remain long. After all... if she's Billy's mother in another dimension or whatever.]
We were a group of misfits really. Members switched in and out, Tony wasn't around much when I was there but his organization funded a lot of what the Avengers did.
We trained and we were deployed to stop those with superhuman abilities. The people no one else could stop.
[Wanda hopes that what they'd been doing was good but at times she isn't so sure. It's easy to doubt herself when the media had turned against her.
She glances up, her brow furrowing.]
Ah. Yes, he inherited my powers while Tommy inherited my brothers.
So what exactly did his organization do? I heard about the suit.. [A beat.} s. The suits. Those sound completely insane.
[He's a little sad he never got to see one. And probably never will. Which is even more disappointing. The following part did give him pause, a faint frown touching his features. Odds were they were probably completely willing participants in their missions... right? Yeah. Had to be.]
[A more thoughtful look.]
Huh. Just kinda... genetic, right? Shit, knowin' what Billy could do I'm kinda curious to know how crazy yours are.
[Or did Billy amplify it all? The poor guy had a good reason to be afraid of being compared to a Sorceress.]

I wouldn't lie and if I was going to lie I'd think of something more interesting to say.
no subject
I dunno how. But I guess I'll take your word for it.
[He leans back, regarding her like he's trying to sort out an alien of some kind.]
no subject
[She smiles and shakes her head. He really doesn't remind her of her and her brother.]
Tell me. You worked with Tony before in the village. What do you do here?

I didn't have a legal job back in my world either.
[She isn't a United State citizen either. So even being on the Avengers had been an precarious situation.]
Here I work as a body guard for the mayor and once a week I'm at the mines protecting the workers there from cave ins.

[His job was legal, but it wouldn't be on most other worlds. Their world was funny like that.]
Yeah. The mines? Wait how d'you protect 'em from cave ins?
[Now he's curious.]

[It's a little hard to explain.]
I can move things with my mind.

I see where Billy gets it now.
