so new people showing
hi everyone! I'm Kate, or Hawkeye
there's a lot of younger people in the mix as well
before the adults get involved and start poo pooing the idea of *kids* saving the world
I'm sure mine isn't the only one that's been saved by the younger gen a time or two

anyway
I've found a building here that is basically mine from home
my home
it's marked as Bishop Publishing

any teens or 20 somethings need a place to hangout
it's open
there's several games, an archery range, gym, and a lot of other things that can be used to either train or just relax

[address of building here]

feel free to join us
it's all good

Billy's here?

[ brb crying ]

[notthatstraight]

[brb she has to let him know!]

yes!
a version
not sure if your version since you know about him
I hate the multiverse sometimes

[whatchoice]

[ it's a disappointment, but it would be silly for her boys to be here. they're ten. surely echo wouldn't bring in ten year olds. it doesn't make her feel any better knowing there is a wanda out there that gets to keep her— wait. ]

What do you mean since I know about him?

[notthatstraight]

if you know about him but not me
we were teammates on the Young Avengers
even met you
so it could still be just a timeline thing but I'm not sure

[whatchoice]

I've known him since he was born considering I was there

[ ?????????? ]

[notthatstraight]

[Oh wow. So this Wanda was able to keep the magically created twins? Good for all of them. But how to explain what happened on their world? ]

okay going to say defiantly different versions
there might be some differences in everything

the Billy I know, and is here, is 18
and his last name is Kaplan if you want to look him up
some things you might want to talk to him in person about to learn
this really isn't the place
or something I should tell you
I think

[whatchoice]

[ EIGHTEEN ]

No, this probably isn't the place

[ it's fine, it's fine, her baby is 18 and a grown(ish) man and someone else seems to have raised him and that's fine, that's totally fine, it's not fine (it's fine, maybe he had good parents) but she's too struck by the idea of her little boy getting older when she knows he and tommy will always be ten years old in her mind, trapped in tiny little bodies because she couldn't keep them.

at least she will have fair enough warning when she meets a full grown billy. ]

Is Tommy a Young Avenger too?

[notthatstraight]

[Kate can't imagine how Wanda must feel just getting that bit of information. She knows how hard it was for all of them when Billy worked out that he and Tommy were somehow her twins.]

yeah he was
goes by the name Speed
I think Quicksilver beats him on actual mph though

[whatchoice]

[ oh the hits keep on coming, don't they? she speaks of pietro in the present tense, there is a world where the other half of her soul wasn't snatched away from her to leave her bereft and broken.

her brother would have loved his nephews. ]

400 meters per second

[notthatstraight]

Tommy's bragged of 761 miles per hour

they're both really great
and some of my best friends ever

[whatchoice]

Thank you for telling me

And him, probably

[ look good friends text each other to tell them their alternate mom is here, she doesn't doubt kate immediately told him. ]

[notthatstraight]

[She absolutely let Billy know because wow. ]

I couldn't do anything less
you should come by
see him
talk
I know he'd love it

[whatchoice]

Won't it be awkward having a mom around?

[ the boys were at the "you don't have to tuck me in anymore" stage of being ten, even if they immediately changed their minds, so she is just so very aware that she is super uncool. ]

[notthatstraight]

not at all
he's from a time were we were on the run from this alien that took over most of the team's parents
he could use a friendly adult face

and a hug

[whatchoice]

Alright

[ it might not be anytime soon, but she will one day... find her way over there. ]
