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?

2/2
Wait, did you say 24 years in stasis? And a baby cousin that is now older than you?
no subject
I did. I got kind of... stuck in space, and time moved around me. Kal-El made it to Earth on schedule and grew up normally.
no subject
Kal-El, that is the name of your cousin? And he made it to Earth before you, so you were both sent to Earth then? It wasn't an accident that you found yourselves there?
no subject
My planet was dying, and my parents and his parents knew it was coming, so they sent us away to save us, and knew that we would survive on Earth.
no subject
Your parents saved you both...
[She draws in her lips. Her mouth forming a thin line for a moment before turning into a sad smile.]
You must miss them.
no subject
[ sigh ]
But I found a wonderful new family on Earth, and they'll never, ever replace my Kryptonian family, but I love them and I'm so happy to have them in my life.
no subject
I can understand the feeling.
no subject
Yeah? You have a cool found family too?
no subject
Something like that.
no subject
no subject
Maybe just a little. Some are "cooler" than others.
no subject
no subject
And who do you think I am talking about?
no subject
no subject
Is that all three, or are you giving me a multiple choice?
no subject
no subject
They each have their moments.
no subject
I tease, but so far they've all been very nice.
no subject
no subject
Well, I'm not sure about Vision. He seems pretty powerful.
no subject
He's not invincible... But he is very strong.
no subject
no subject
No. It never is.
Sorry, but I need some time to think.
[And with that, Wanda switches off her communicator feed. A clearly troubled look on her face before the video cuts.]
