A bittersweet return; Video + Action
Who: Wanda Maximoff
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Starstruck
When: Right now
[At first, the scene appears to be a relatively familiar one. That is, the typical network broadcast of a new arrival to the fleet. A communicator's video feed broadcasting a slumbering figure curled up on a ship's cot. However, a second glance and one can easily tell that this not typical at all. Instead of the Marsiva's recognizably distinct interior, this feed seems to be coming from the bunkroom aboard one of the Fleet's smaller ships. In fact, crew members of the Starstruck may find the setting quite familiar looking indeed, along with anyone else that may have paid Wanda a visit in the past.]
[The sleeping figure stirs, waking from a deep slumber with a slow sit up and stretch. The communicator's camera focuses on the individual, as she quickly recognizes that something is amiss. Wanda Maximoff looks around, startled and confused to not find herself waking up in the room she'd been given in Wakanda. However, she soon begins to recognize the room. It's her room, her bunkroom aboard the SS Starstuck. And that could only mean...]
I'm back...
[The thought vocalized out loud, her tone sounding somewhat somber, yet also a tiny bit relieved. She swings her legs out of her cot, and pads her way over to her storage locker. Checking inside, she finds all of her trinkets, clothing, and other souvenirs that she'd picked up on previous planet visits. All of them in the exact place she had left them. A new outfit also noticeably present among the garments. Her fingers gently glide over each item, as the respective memories associated with each one float back to her.]
[A moment later, she closes the locker and turns her attention back to her room. She studies the interior, looking everything over.]
All exactly as I remember it.
[She then spies the communicator perched upon a shelf, optimally poised to capture her return. She walks over to it, picking it up and holding it out in front of herself. She looks ready to address the camera yet falters for a moment. A small frown on her face, and her eyebrows furrowed as she ponders what to even say, if she should even say anything at all. But only a moment later, her expression relaxes, and a small grin replaces the frown. Looking now more bemused and her tone more playfully sarcastic, she addresses the camera.]
It's been a while. What did I miss?

[ there is a smile here because for all their circumstances, he is glad to see her. being worried about Wanda has become Steve's thing since she joined their group, after all. she was young, for all her skill and had seen too much of this world already. ]
It's good to see you, Wanda.
Video
Working on your tan then? Guess this planet must have as nice of a beach as I've heard.
It is good to see you too, Steve.
[After spending a year with him, training and going on missions, the informal use of his first name just slips out. She doesn't even recognize that she may have said something odd, compared to how she used to address him before she went under for a month.]
Video
[ it's been a while for her and it shows. she seems a little older, a little different but she is smiling, she seems happy which is good enough for Steve, at least for now ]
You're doing alright?
Video
Could be better.
What's the last thing you remember Steve? From back home?
Video
[ in a word. it explains the entire matter best, he thinks. tony's mistake, ultron's uprising, the battle of sokovia, her brother's death. it's all a bit much, it was a lot for him, he thinks it must have been entirely too much for her. ]
You have new memories.
[ not a question ]
that bad?
Video
Vision told me that he and Winter... they remember new things as well. Have either of them spoken to you?
Video
[ there is a little sigh there. He's tired of secrets but these things, what choice do they leave, really? would it do him any good to know of a future that he can't change? ]
You don't have to, either. Don't worry. I won't ask.
Video
Thank you, Steve.
Give me a little bit, then you can ask.
