[Wanda sighs, her eyes searching. She did not have all the information--at least, not yet. She had clues though.]

I think it is both. Something that was put into his head before he even arrived here. Something that the Atroma somehow knew or found out about, and something they apparently decided to take advantage of.

[passingthrough]

You think they triggered it this time but maybe next time will be different?

[notmutantbutmiracle]

I don't know.

[She wishes she had a better answer for Kitty.]

Whatever it is though-- whatever made Winter act that way, I do not think it is something that happens just by accident.

[passingthrough]

Have you talked to him about it? Maybe he knows the trigger? Of course I'd understand if he didn't want to hand it out.

[notmutantbutmiracle]

[Wanda shakes her head. It had been a while since she last spoke with Winter, and even then...]

He's not really the talkative type. About anything really.

[passingthrough]

Good point. I have noticed that about him.

Does he talk to Steve?

[notmutantbutmiracle]

[A shrug.]

Your guess is as good as mine.

[passingthrough]

Right.

Well, anyway... Were you here visiting Vision?

[notmutantbutmiracle]

[At that, Wanda's notably seems to perk up. Though, she had naturally been concerned for Kitty, and it was important to her to make sure her friends were all right. Their conversation had caused her to totally lose sight of why she had come to visit the Windrose in the first place.]

Oh! Yes, I had almost forgotten what I'd came here for.

[Kitty smiles.] I'm sure he's around here somewhere. I won't keep you.

[notmutantbutmiracle]

[There's something about Kitty's smile... it felt familiar to the way Wrath had referred to her directly as Vision's "special friend." Like, somehow, everyone seemed to know all about the feelings she'd been harboring but trying to hide. Clearly, she must not be doing a good job at all... She almost feels like she needs to say something, but decides that would seem more obvious. Instead, she just tries to seem nonchalant and smile back--though the slight shading of pink in her cheeks might give her away.]

Thanks.

Yeah, I'll... go see if I can find him again... or reach him on the communicator.
