Who: Wanda and Marc
When: Friday night
Where: Food court
What: Marc is Not Steven. Surprise!

Steven had been reading again, although in bed this time rather than hunched over a desk, so Marc had suddenly been shoved to the front when Steven drifted off to sleep. The weird textbook about hieroglyphics and their grammar snapped into focus when he took Steven's glasses off, and then he'd waited a while to make sure Steven was properly asleep before slipping out of bed and changing back into clothes instead of pajamas. It was his time with the body, after all, and he wanted to check out the park and see this weird no-breathing part that the Doc had told him about. First, though, was his usual stop at the food court.

Steven was a vegan. Marc kinda... wasn't. He did his best to keep kosher, so he was avoiding things with ham and shrimp and stuff, and he got where Steven was coming from with being vegan, he really did, but if Bucky had left out sandwiches with chicken or beef in them, they were his. It was late, though, so he might just have to take whatever was there.

He found a chicken salad sandwich, and made himself some coffee - it wasn't just Steven that was tired, after all - and then picked a table to sit at.

"Ain't that fucking wonderful," he snapped, looking back to glare at Wanda, "when I already told you, I keep him safe! Everything I do is to protect him, and you know nothing about us so you can fuck off with your threats."

The anger in Marc was more than enough to cause Khonshu to swirl into being, simply to see what was going on. The god took one look at Marc before turning to see the woman he was talking to. He tilted his head to the side and there was a distinct impression of an eyebrow being raised, despite his head being a skull. The sheer power in the woman...

MARC, YOU PICK YOUR BATTLES WITH THE MOST INTERESTING OPPONENTS.

"I don't give a shit how 'interesting' she is. I'm outta here," Marc ground out, his headache now pounding in his skull and the need to be on his own making him feel like he was close to vibrating out of his own skin.

Assurances did not mean a lot to her. She had seen them broken again and again. Lies used to keep themselves safe or use others. It was true, she didn't know that much about Stephen and as much as she might have wanted to believe this man in Stephen's body, she couldn't. Her past made it impossible. Not without more than just words as proof.

But then the stranger started to talk to someone else and that someone else seemed to answer. She reached out once again. There was another mind present. It felt different. Could it be Stephen? The thought felt wrong.

SHE KNOWS I AM HERE, Khonshu said, AND SHE IS EXTREMELY POWERFUL.

"Wonderful, have fun, make friendship bracelets," Marc said as he shoved his hands in his pockets and started towards the exit. He paused as he got level with Wanda, and looked over at her. "Nobody owes you answers just because you want to know, do you get that? I don't give a shit how powerful you are, you have no right to demand anything like you did of us. Me." And then he started walking again.

Wanda watched the man leave. She didn't say anything, didn't know Stephen well enough to jump into action and man who walked away, did not care for a conversation so why have it? If this had been Vision, she wouldn't have been able to stand aside. She loved Vision. They had only really realised who they were to each other and who they wanted to be before Vision had been insured and taken to Wakanda. Every day that he was not at her side was hurtful.

She didn't return to the task she originally came here to do. She felt unsettled by what she had seen. It was more than just that. It was another reminder how little she knew about what had happened to them. They had been taken from another world and placed into this one. She couldn't go back to her home. Couldn't study the Darkhold to make sense of who she was.

Instead, she headed back to her apartment and pondered how to proceed.
