Summary: Slowly but steadily, Wanda is learning to trust herself and her powers as well as her teammates, but there's always room for more practice.
The Story:
[The morning of the 21st finds Wanda in the Training Center shortly after breakfast. It's still empty when she gets there, although she's sure it won't stay that way for long-- she expects people to trickle in throughout the course of the day, teammates and other Wonderland residents alike, but she likes it best when it's quiet. Over time, she's improved when it comes to working with her teammates, but she still feels safest when she has the opportunity to practice alone. She hasn't had any accidents since arriving in Wonderland, but she still doesn't quite trust herself-- or how much stronger her powers seem to be than she first realized.
She spends the better part of the morning training with the targets provided, flinging hex bolts of various sizes and strengths, testing and aiming to refine her control over distance and impact as well as aim. Steve was right when he told her that she would learn more when there was another party involved, especially when it came to having to think on her feet, but she maintains that there are certain things she can only do by herself, things that can only be properly tested and practiced in a controlled environment.
Late in the morning, one of her bolts goes rogue and damages one of the dummies she'd been practicing on more severely than she'd intended. Grimacing, she levitates the target itself from its post and detaches it, bringing it to her rather than walking over to investigate, turning it over in mid-air before she passes a hand over its body, focusing until the metal itself begins to bend itself back into shape, mending.
The rest of her training goes mostly without incident, and after lunch she dips into the Magic Training Room. While she doesn't have any lessons planned with Billy today, she's been meaning to take the time to spend an hour or two looking through some of the books in the collection he's assembled during his time in Wonderland. As it turns out, she ends up staying there for the better part of the afternoon, and can be found either perusing the shelves, investigating potion reagents, or sitting in front of the fire with one of the books she's helped herself to.]

[Whether or not Billy or Tommy themselves thought she should, now that she knew it was difficult to imagine going on not knowing. How painful would it have been for them, never to mention it to her? Having to carefully guard their words at every turn?]
I understand why you kept it from me. Still, I am-- glad to know, even if it was difficult to grasp at first.
no subject
So, you're...okay with it? It's not too weird?
no subject
I have had time to think it over. ... digest it.
[A lot more time than she's willing to admit. She really should have said something sooner, but she wasn't ready.]
The last thing I would want is to cause you pain. If keeping it from me was difficult for you... I am sorry.
no subject
[ And the fact that she still wants to see him is good.]
It's ok, it's not your fault. It's a strange situation and I understand. Do you have any questions about it? I'm not sure I would trust everything my mirror told you.
no subject
[Some of what she has to ask may touch on subjects that are just a bit delicate, but she does have questions.]
You and Tommy have both told me that you grew up without one another. The Wanda that you know-- she did not raise you?
no subject
Right for the hard one. That's kind of complicated and I don't know all the details, so bare with me. Wanda in my world wasn't able to have kids, so she kind of created us using a lost soul and her reality bending powers. When we were five we were...killed. And this is the part I'm not all that clear on, but our soul was reborn as William Kaplan and Thomas Sheppard and we didn't know who we were until we were sixteen. She didn't know about us either. I got her powers and Tommy got Pietro's.
no subject
That is--
[She feels her stomach dropped. Killed. Killed at five years old. Even without being a mother in the truest sense herself, she can only imagine the kind of devastation that would cause for any parent-- the unending, all-consuming grief it would inspire. She's lost enough family to know something about how that feels.]
That's quite the story. ... I am sorry, for all you have gone through.
no subject
[ He didn't really want to have to tell her all that but it felt like it was inevitable. He just hopes she holds off on asking who their father was. ]
Its ok now. I have Tommy and I get to see Wanda when we both have time. Plus well my birth parents are pretty great. So. It hasn't been all that bad.
no subject
You are happy, then.
[She smiles, just a little. Really, that's all that matters.]
no subject
I- I think I am. I wasn't for a while, a long time but I think that I've finally come to terms with somethings.
