Hey can you come by later? There's something I want to talk to you about.[And he doesn't want to do it via text.]

[action]

[weirdexperiment]

[We need to talk is rarely a good thing. Wanda makes her way over to where he is. She had been trying to decipher what to do with the prophecies that seem to be showing up more and more around town.]

[when she arrives, she sends out a little wisp of red energy to find him and let him know she had arrived]

[thisblankpage]

[It wouldn't be fair to tell her over text. Nick wants to talk to her face to face.

The wisp of red is met with a smile as it curls around his wrist almost like a living thing. With that smile still in place he moves to greet her with a gentle kiss.] I wanted to tell you in person rather than over the TC.

The party going to Erebus to look for this oracle, I'm going with them.

[weirdexperiment]

[She kisses him back then frowns deeply]

Then I will go with you.

[Don't mind that her grip tightens a little on him]

[thisblankpage]

Ok. I'm glad that you are.

[Because he's not going to argue. In fact he's going to feel a hell of a lot better about it with Wanda going along.]

[weirdexperiment]

[She cannot lose any more people in her life. Wanda looks up at him]

Do you know what Erebus is like? What this Oracle is?

[thisblankpage]

It's fascinating. All of it is underground. Caverns connected by underground oceans, at least one really nice resort and a lot of bioluminescent life.

Nothing about the Oracle yet. Only that wherever they are, they're in trouble.

[weirdexperiment]

You said that the prophecies were about you. So we'll meet this Oracle, find them, and then they will be in trouble.

[With her.]

[thisblankpage]

[His smile is warm and fond as he cups her jaw.] I'm sure they will be. But we'll get them somewhere safe first. Then you can yell at the Oracle all you want.

[weirdexperiment]

[She kisses his palm]

Always with your promises, Nick.

[thisblankpage]

[A warm smile at the kiss, his thumb sweeping gently across her cheek.] Always.

[Because he'll never break them. Not to her.
Nick will always return and he will always hold her close in his heart.]

[weirdexperiment]

You are not leaving my sight, Nick.

[She looks into his eyes when she says this, meaning it with all of her heart]

We are going together and we are coming back together.

[thisblankpage]

[And Nick doesn't for an instant doubt her resolve. A firm nod as he kisses her]

Together. [He doesn't sign what else his mind supplies which is 'forever'.]

[weirdexperiment]

[she hopes those prophecies are nothing more than simply nonsense. They deserve better than that. Nick deserves more than that. Wanda kisses him back]

These prophecies may not even be prophecies. Perhaps they are simply ramblings.

[thisblankpage]

[Wanda can hope that they're nonsense but Nick isn't so sure. There have been enough references to his past, to his world and god help him, Tom Cullen. He has to go if only to put his own mind to rest about it.]

Maybe. But I think we owe it to this Oracle to at least investigate.

[He smiles at the kiss, a quirk of his lips as he pulls back.] And if there's nothing there, we can get in a little sightseeing, right?

[weirdexperiment]

A vacation together already? I would have picked anywhere else.

[Still, she's worried and it shows in her features. Wanda holds him close]

[thisblankpage]

[His smile is pure mischief as he smooths a hand down her hair.] And why not? After everything in both of our worlds who says we're not due a break?

[weirdexperiment]

After. After all of this. After I speak with this Oracle. Then maybe we could have a break.

[And maybe invite a speedster along.]

[thisblankpage]

We do need a break. Once the Oracle is safe.

[Absolutely the three of them. Savitar needs reasons to smile, reasons to be happy. Maybe they could give that to him.]

[weirdexperiment]

Once you are safe, Nick. Those prophecies--

[She shakes her head]

[thisblankpage]

[Nick cups her cheek gently, shaking his head.]

Once we're all safe, Wanda. You included.

[weirdexperiment]

[She curls her hand over his. There's a red glow to her eyes as she speaks directly into his mind]

I've lost too many people that I have loved in my life, Nick.

[thisblankpage]

[That still takes some getting used to, sound after a lifetime of quiet. But Nick doesn't falter as he closes his hand over hers.]

I love you Wanda.
I'm not going to lose you and I'm not leaving you. Not now, not ever.

[weirdexperiment]

Nick.

[She says it out loud because she knows it's strange, even for hearing people to be spoken to in their mind. She holds onto his hand and kisses him.]

I'msoscared. Don'twanttoloseyou.

[She doesn't intend to but her thoughts run errant and possibly find their way into Nick's mind as well]

[thisblankpage]

[Nick can hear her thoughts, her terror at losing him. He reaches out, folding her into his arms and holding her close. He doesn't have fantastic powers, fantastic speed or any of the other amazing abilities people seem to have here. What he can offer her is calm. A certainty. He has fallen for her and as a result she's never going to lose him. He will always find his way back to her.]
