To be frank, Wanda didn't really have many ideas on what she should be doing after this whole situation had been settled. All she knew was that she needed a change, and possibly some new scenery to go along with it. She'd been at the school for many years now and she was growing a bit restless. Of course, that'd been increased (the restlessness) since her 'house arrest', but she couldn't lie and say she hadn't been thinking about this for a while - even before she'd (temporarily) lost control of her own sanity. This was just something she felt was necessary, if she were to make a full recovery.
"I'm not sure," she'd admitted, followed by a slight shrug of her shoulders. "I just know that I need to leave, Russ." Even though there was a good chance all would be forgiven (but not forgotten) over time, she still felt like her destiny lied well beyond the Institute's walls and that she owed it to herself to go see what was out there. "The X-Men are noble, and so is the goal they are trying to accomplish, but," she paused, taking a breath. "I've never felt like I was really part of the team." No one had really made her feel that was, per se, but it was plain to see that not everyone trusted her - even before the incident. And the gypsy couldn't fault any of those who felt that way.
Granted, there had been others who had made (some of) the mistakes she'd made, but a lot of them had been smart enough to get themselves out of that situation and do the right thing, before it marred them too deeply.
"I have actually been thinking about speaking to Mr. Stark." Though, due to his involvement with Zap, she didn't think the iron-clad billionaire would want to have much to do with her. But, perhaps, if she made those apologies and they were successful.... Maybe, just maybe, he'd give her a chance to redeem herself.
"If that does not pan out, I may just.... travel," she added after a brief pause. Wanda, after all, was a gypsy; it was in her very life's blood to keep on the move. "I would like to try and find my brother."
