Since we're apparently doing the coming clean thing, let's lay it all out.

A few of you seem to think we're all hiding something. So, go for it. Q&A. Ask away. If any of us has the answers, we'll give it. I honestly don't know what you think we know that you don't. If any of you had any idea what some of us here have sacrificed to keep this planet spinning, you'd wet yourselves.

You know what, that goes for you natives. You want to know something from my timeline, ask. I'll do what I can. But I don't promise happy endings for anyone and I will be answering those privately. I think Stark Jr. and I believe Ms. Maximoff are the only ones ahead of me timewise. I'd prefer not to "spoil" those who don't wish to be.

	I thought I understood before but now... Yeah. I do. I'd be like if we hadn't ~~killed~~ stopped Balcoin back home, but a million times worse. I'm sorry all of you had to go through that. [Stephen] So we keep planning and we keep going. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I knew. I'm trying to keep that fairly quiet among the others. Ms. Maximoff may have been told at some point but Stark does not and I'd rather he not find out unless it's necessary. But I used the Time Stone to see how we could win. There was only one way. And it involved breaking my oath to protect the stone itself. I had to put my faith in the others to do the right things to bring us back and there was nothing I could do to help them then, but if I can help them now, I fully intend to. But not at the risk of you and the others.

~~Wait he's telling me?~~

But if there was only one way, like only one way, then maybe you were meant to give up the stone. If time's a straight line and things are supposed to be linear, if that was supposed to happen, then you wouldn't have broken your oath. You would have been doing what the stone wanted you to do.

So by doing that and then setting us back here - this is where we're all supposed to be. Whatever reason that's is. So even if you knew, doesn't that mean you did your job? And now we have a chance?

Wait... what do you mean at risk to us? This is our fight too.

It was the only way and I know that but completing the only way still meant breaking my vow.

The Stone is confusing. I was its protector for a very short time in its exceedingly long life and I honestly feel I know very little about it. I genuinely think it was sentient, had a mind of its own. That doesn't mean I'm certain I've done the things it wanted me to do.

And yes, it's your fight. But you're still incredibly young, Diana. I know you're capable but that doesn't mean you need to be getting wrapped up in intergalactic battles if some of us can prevent it.

...sometimes you have to do things that are wrong in order to do what's right. Nothing's ever that black and white.

Figuring out other people- er thing's motives can be difficult. It's hard whenit's people, but if it's not able to communicate? Do you think the stone was differently sentient than the cloak?

So we're just supposed to sit here and watch all of you go of and- ~~don't say it. don't say it. don't say it.~~

I do. The Cloak of Levitation, as I'm sure you've seen, has almost human like characteristics at times. It has its own personality outside of what I may want. The Stone...I believe it simply exists as an almost living being. Like there is life in it. But a powerful life at the end of the day.

If we handle this correctly, none of us will go off "and" anything. And I would never sideline powerful witches who can be helpful. But I am the adult here, not to mention one of the leading sorcerers of my world, and I'm the first line of defense.

	If what everyone said about when the stones were made is right, when all life started, the theory'd be solid. Universe-scaled theory, holy shit... ~~They don't come back.~~ (ooc: strikeouts can be seen through here.) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Know this much, Diana. I am good at what I do. That is partially ego, yes, but it's also simply the truth. I am not a warrior by nature but I do know a good game of chess and I don't play my better pieces until they're ready. And at the end of the day, I intend to come back to where I'm needed. I have too much to lose not to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	... Okay. I shouldn't have said anything. My control is nowhere near ready to be fighting. The dark magic lashed out when the headaches hit, turned my desk to ashes. ~~My hand's been itching since.~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And when were you planning on telling me this? Diana, it's important that we track these things. How else are we going to know how to follow it? We're getting you a sling ring. I plan to get one for Wanda as well. The two of you need extensive practice and the mirror dimension is the safest place for it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

After everything with the headaches and the Mind Stone and Wakanda and Thor, it seemed a lot less important. I talked to Madison and Sabrina about it. You were busy and I didn't want to add anything else.

It was just my desk... and my walls. I talked to Madison and Sabrina, they calmed me down. I thought it was just the backlash that caused it. Now I need to replace it.

I think we need to cast anti-fire spells on our furniture.

	When I say don't burn the place down, I typically mean it jokingly Diana. Please don't literally burn the place down. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Last month, Madison burnt down my bed and we had to replace it. Last week I turned my desk to ash. Our luck with furniture seems to be kinda low. This is a safety precaution. Oh, right, before you ask, the books from the Sanctum are fine. They were in my bookshelf. I put wards around it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Diana/Stephen cametobargain 2021-07-20 07:03 pm UTC (link)
	Well, I suppose at least there's that. Now could we put wards around the rest of your room? That would be helpful. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
