[ It lands poorly, and Tommy’s anger flares at hearing Billy rattle off Wanda’s “sins” like what people say about her matters. The truth doesn’t make a good story. Oh, Tommy doesn’t doubt that Wanda did something. Doesn’t even question that people got hurt. But he knows that the story doesn’t allow for reasons or extenuating circumstances. It’s why he - they - went looking for Wanda in the first place. They wanted the source.
And whoop-de-doo she made them. That’s what moms do. Call it IVF. Same deal. Alternative conception. Conceived with her mind.
They’re her kids. They’re alive because of her. They got their powers because of her. Without Wanda, what would they be? Nothing. They’d be like a hundred millon other suckers who hope to grind out 45 years of drudgery and retire to a trailer in Florida on Social Security.
They owe Wanda a defense. If Billy wants to sound like he’s ashamed of being like Wanda Maximoff - of being one of the most powerful people in the universe - let him. He deserves to fucking wallow in it. He thinks Tommy doesn’t trust him ? Tommy knows what that blue energy can do, can’t run three feet off the ground, and he didn’t worry for a second. How’s that for trust? ]
