Voice - Announcement. [ota] un; wanda

Hello. For those who do not know me, my name is Wanda Maximoff.

[Her voice is direct and informative.]

I am reaching out today to inform those living within the domes that Loki and Charis have both left. In the way of their absence, I have taken over the care for Bjart. For those who do not know her, she is a dragon and has a recent history of escaping her home. She is being trained and I am looking after her now but I thought it best to inform those living here.

If you stumble across her, please do not interrupt the magic that keeps her constricted to the abandoned dome. I would like people to visit and help her train. She needs to get used to others, besides myself, and I think introducing people to her one on one would help. This is only when I am there to keep her and you safe.

Thank you.

I don't know if I really am but I hope, one day I will be. I think it's natural to lose people.

[At least that's what she's experienced.]

Thank you. Would you like to get a drink?

I could use a break from Bjart.

It might be natural to lose people, but it's not natural for them to just disappear.

[He can't believe that. Can't trust that's something that someone should get used to.]

Sure.

Bjart giving you just far too much hassle right now?

That's true. Though I've been here for over a year now, a lot of this place feels too natural. It's probably not a good thing.

[Her lips quirk into a smile.]

A bit. She can be a lot at times. It's been an adjustment for both of us. [Now that Charis is gone.]

This place has never really felt natural to me. Maybe it's just that I've not been here long enough.

[There's a soft smile there.]

Well, if you want I'll give you whatever help you need.

I think that might be a good thing and thank you. I'd like that.

I've been checking the wards daily to make sure Loki's magic won't fade with him but there really is no way to tell for sure.

It's not a problem, Wanda.

You know that if you ever need help, all you have to do is ask. I'll be right there.

Are you free now?

I could use a break and you could help by providing me some company.

I'm free now.

I can definitely provide you that company. Might even be able to feed you, if you're hungry.

I could eat.

Where should we meet?

Wherever you're comfortable.

Pick a favorite spot and we'll meet there.

There is a cute coffee shop in the market dome. It has some food.

It's called just 'coffee' I believe.

There is a coffee shop in the market dome just called "Coffee"? That's real original.

We'll meet there.

They get to the point.

[It's not creative but it's one of the reasons Wanda likes it.]

I'll be there shortly.

So, they do.

[It wasn't creative in the least bit.]

I'll meet you there.

[He heads out and if he gets there a little early, then he's at least there for when she shows up.]

[It takes Wanda a little longer to arrive but she isn't later. Her hair is pulled into a messy bun that looks like it was quickly flipped into place to avoid some disaster. It's only when she arrives that she's tugging her hair down from the tight clip.

She spots Grayson after a moment of looking at the tables and approaches with a warm smile.]

I hope I'm not late.

[Dick leans back in his seat and gives her a small smile. Hair up or down, she was still pretty and he's sure that she knows it. No matter how much of a mess it looked.]

Not late at all. Just in time, actually.

I'm glad. I wouldn't want to keep you waiting.

[Wanda takes the seat across from him before glancing around to meet the gaze of a waiter or waitress nearby. Her attention quickly returns before she exhales a tired sigh. Wanda has never really focused on her appearance before but Bjart was running her ragged and she hadn't wanted anyone to find out, least of all her son.]

I'm excited for a chance to relax and do nothing for a change. It's an... unusual feeling.

[This is what happens when you are suddenly the guardian of a large dragon.]

Even if you had, it wouldn't of been too bad.

[Honestly, if Wanda had been late he probably wouldn't of said so. No need for her to think anything except for the fact that she's on time.]

Well, I'm going to see about getting you out and relaxing quite a bit. Even with a sudden dragon around.

[When the waiter does show up, he gives them a nod and his order before letting them get Wanda's.]

[Her smile breaks into a light chuckle.]

Thank you.

[She orders some black coffee and a blueberry muffin.]

How have you been? It's been some time since we've spoken.

You're welcome.

[He watches the waiter go off to get their drink and food before looking over at her.]

I've been doing pretty well. Thinking about things, back home, some what. How've you been?

Good. I haven't really had time to think about things at home.

[Wanda pauses, her lips pressing into a thin frown.]

I'm not sure I want to return to Earth. My son is here. He's from another Universe but I still think of him as my son and he's the only family I have left. It's selfish but I've been wrestling with this feeling for awhile now.

There are others there. With myself and Gar here, it makes me wonder and worry a bit.

[He notices that frown and reaches over placing his hand over hers.]

It's not selfish, Wanda. There is nothing wrong with wanting to be where family is.

[Wanda glances up and meets Dick's gaze, surprised at the soft gesture.]

Thank you for saying so. [Her expression softens and for a moment, she keeps her hand beneath his.] I just worry. The world is constantly getting into trouble and I am one of its defenders.

There's always been a greater purpose than my own happiness and every time I find it, it's taken away again. I wonder if that's what I am supposed to do. [It's easy to feel guilty despite the fact that she's done nothing wrong.]

Trust me, I know what it's like to be your city's defender. I'm one of Gotham's.

[Which is another reason that he worries about not being home, where the others were.]

Here? We can actually have happiness. Home? We have to fight to defend the city. Happiness? If we do have it, can be ripped away from us.

Yeah.

[She turns her hand over and gently squeezes his hand. It's a sweet gesture though Wanda hasn't ever been intimate for long, so as the waitress returns with their order she moves her hands back.]

We're in the same position then. Do you mind if I ask about those you left at home? Your team.
