[He wonders for a moment if this recovery is what Wash's username references, but he'll never ask.]

Someone has to be last on the priority list.

[He gets that too.]

Does not mean you are expendable.

They never die if you remember them.

[He leaves that open whether it's a good or bad thing, for him personally it depends on the situation.]

[Pietro doesn't tend to keep the origins of his powers a secret, the idea of someone naturally possessing them wasn't something he'd thought about until he'd met Ororo and learned about her version of himself in her world, where people were born with powers. He'd told several people about the experiments, including her and Eloise, and Wash's question gets a reply without any hesitation. For Pietro, it had been choice born from desperation, to let ambitious men use him for their purposes, with no compensation but promises of getting what he needed to save his country from destruction. He'd been half responsible for said destruction in the end, though...]

I did not always have it.
It was experiment with alien technology.
They found us at a protest, said they could help us.
I volunteered to be exposed to it, Wanda too.
Did not know what would happen, only it would change us.
They were looking to make supersoldiers or something like that.
Out of all volunteers, we were only survivors.
Everyone who went before us died.

It is exactly like that.
No matter what century, no?


[2552 is a long way ahead of him, and Pietro isn't the least bit surprised there's still massive scale war and profiteering from it, whether it be money or power.]

Inevitable.

Yes.
We were usually in the middle of war, but overlooked, you know?
They would say Sokovia is nowhere important, but in the way of everywhere that is.
Collateral damage.
This time, facility with experiments was targeted.
After, it became base for the robot who wanted to destroy all life to start over.
Big mess.

No. Always.

[If it wasn't bombs, it was gunfire and tanks in the streets. It hadn't seemed anything strange, anything wrong, because it's what he'd known. Until he'd been old enough to understand the way his mother would look out the window when the rapport of gunfire was too close, or why his father stayed up so late sometimes, chair positioned by the door to the apartment, expecting a raid that day based on rumours or someone else's over-vigilance. He'd barely gotten that grasp on it all before it became so real in an instant.]

It should not have bothered me like it did.
The shaking, the noise.


[But he'd been away from it long enough that he'd started to feel safer, had enough peace, something else to think about. And part of him forgot.]

I have, and I want to keep it.

[— and it's like you never left. Those are the words that stay, because it was exactly like that.]

I think it makes all the difference.

[Having something to lose again.]

Break is over, yes?
I will text you later.
