I got your gift btw. Billiam said they're for protection? You want me to wear some runes around my neck and see what happens? Did you make any for yourself?
I actually have been trying to get a little magical protection and other minor effects from tattoos. New ones I got here. I'll have to show them off to you sometime. And you can blame Tony but in a good way.
Not entirely my idea. I’m working on something different for you. Kid’s working with what he’s got, and hey, if one of these runes catches something and stops it from doing something to you, you can him for it.
Yeah, he gave me a couple, too.
Blaming Tony but in a good way seems appropriate. You with more ink also seems appropriate.
Kid's looking out for us squishy normies. Warms my heart.
Hey beats blaming Tony for stupid shit he did. He apologized to me you know. I damn near had to beat it out of him what about. Typical. But sometimes he causes good things to happen. Guess there was a reason we kept him around.
He's a good kid. I told him we trained Wanda when she was first starting out. May not know about magic, but I've got his back if he needs someone. Might know a thing or two about complicated families.
Speaking of-- have you seen Yelena?
I'm not surprised he did. He can be an ass, but I didn't think he'd be so dense to not understand the concept of consent. He has a tendency go too far when he's onto something, but I'm still holding out hope we haven't lost all decency. [And honestly as far as sexist comments he'd gotten better over the years-- and out of two Tonys here, he's not the one constantly propositioning her. Though she has learned that the other version of Natasha and him have much more of a history there.]
I know Yelena's here. She said we're fine, and it isn't that I don't believe her, but I figured I still wasn't going to be the first face she wanted to see when spending time drinking fairy vodka. I'll say hi face to face eventually. Figuratively speaking.
Oh THAT bullshit. My roomie apparently shot Steve. A couple of times. So I feel like maybe I need to intensify her lessons some. (She did good from what I hear, she just needs to get better at calming down, finding her center, not panicking.)
You're going to judge me in a second but you know I'm a gentleman. Futaba's great if a really socially awkward teenager. She's extremely tech savvy and could be a frighteningly effective mix with Tony. She's more of a backliner, has abilities to boost the skills of others rather than be a fighter herself, but she's looking to change that, so I've been giving her lessons. Her and some of her buddies here are skilled at sneaking around and stealing which is not a bad skillset to have. She can summon up an honest to god UFO.
I don't really get that last part but it's handy anyway.
I don't disagree with what they're doing. She needs to practice with playing nice with her brain powers, and people need practice blocking people getting in their head. I'm not exactly chomping at the bit to sign my free real estate up though. I'm gonna start working with Strange about it.
She uses it? Lets her do some of the helpful stuff she does. I do NOT know how it works, but she likens everything to video games, so at least I understand the concept of buffs.

Who's your roommate? Sounds like a good person to have on our side.

Like the ship? Or an alien?
no subject
Which yeah that isn't fair of me to say in retrospect. [Tony did have a kid. She's cute. She's gonna grow up okay.]
Ship. Like straight up classic flying saucer. Only it also has tentacles, and I'm a little concerned what she's looked at on the internet before.

Huh. Interesting. Is it like... a distraction? Or does it do something?

Huh. It’s interesting what people not from our home can do. Or home adjacent if you count the universes that aren’t ours but are similar.
