There is no ice cream in the freezer.

[Because they're eating it, but there's no need to be technical about it.

It doesn't take him long to finish off the ice cream.]

Feeling better?

[seeingscarlet]

There never was any ice cream.

[Now that the carton's empty, Wanda gestures and scarlet energy obliterates it. Now the only evidence is the spoons, but that's easily taken care of and smuggled back to the kitchen with other dishes.

Wanda feels better for now, but somehow it feels like 'for now' might be the operative term. She wraps her arms around Pietro again, settling close. He's still alive. It was just a nightmare.]

Can I stay here tonight?

[never_seemecoming]

[Good. They can't get in trouble for something that never happened, right?]

Of course. Anything for my little sister.

[He's going to milk that twelve minutes for all it's worth.]

[seeingscarlet]

[Of course not. Where's the proof? Sounds a lot like someone else dreamed up that ice cream...]

Hush.

[And with that, she flops back on the bed. It's a performance with no true annoyance behind it, but she doesn't even crack an 'old man' joke this time. It's proof she's still somewhere between rattled and exhausted. The ice cream helped, but it can't make the nightmare go away entirely.]

[The fact that she doesn't make an "old man" joke tells him exactly how troubled she is about this, but he doesn't know what else he can do to make her feel better about it.]

I'll be here when you wake up.
