I know these things happen, but I've never understood it. I would do anything to have my family back.

[The late hour must be getting to her. Normally Wanda doesn't talk about it much but it just kind of...slipped out. Or maybe it's just because she fundamentally does not know what to do with Peter. She gets it, she really does - before she came here duty was the only reason she could even get out of bed in the morning.

But she looks at Peter and sees Pietro, sees the countless unnamed brave Sokovians who had died in Strucker's experiments. He has powers. He doesn't need her protection.

But that doesn't stop her from wanting better for him than they had.]


I know. [And she'll never argue with his right to fight for what he believes in.] But you need to save time for Peter too. It is...easier than you think to let it take over, to be just Scarlet Witch or Spider-Man. To lose yourself.

[Like she's sure he will if he keeps this up - somehow Wanda doubts this is a one-off, 'oops, superheroed too late' situation.]

You have to balance them.
