WandaVision

Chapter 9

Once again Tommy stared at him.

For what felt like the millionth time that day, Billy's face burned.

"Aww," Tommy cooed "That's sweet. Maybe you should become a poet!"

Billy was thinking about different things, though, his mind moving a million miles a minute. Skrulls, space, heroes.

"Tommy," Billy whispered "What if we're heroes? You saw what the note said. About heroes being a crazy gig..."

Tommy laughed "Heroes? Nah, I'm more of a bad boy. You on the other hand... I don't know."

Tommy flipped through more photos, "Hey, here's a photo of us flipping through these photos. Crazy."

There was a knock on the door. Billy and Tommy looked at each other, panicked. There were still photos flying around Billy's room.

"Tommy distract whoever's at the door," Billy said, "I'll get rid of the photos."

Tommy ran to the door, opened it, slipped out, and closed it before the person on the other side could see into the room.

Billy looked around his room, at the photos everywhere, at his future family and friends. He looked down at the picture in his hand. He was holding the one with him, his daughter, and his husband.

He would get married to a man named Teddy. They would have a daughter. Her name would be Charlie. Billy smiled. He took some pictures that he didn't want to disappear and he ended the spell. All the pictures in the room flickered and vanished. All except the ones in his hand. He needed proof that he was happy in the future.

He shoved the pictures under his bed just as Wanda and Vision burst into his room. Billy stood up.

Wanda looked around in shock "I thought I sensed... Nevermind. Did you boys clean Billy's room?"

Billy looked around his room. He had involuntarily cleaned it using his magic.

Tommy went along with the ruse. "Yep, sure did!"

The Vision looked skeptical. He turned to Billy. "Son," He said, "Is there something you want to tell us?"

Billy thought of all that had happened that day. The magic, the mysterious visitor, the photos, being sacred of his mom and her abilities, doing scary powerful magic that his mom had probably sensed. He thought about looking through the photos. And he thought about Teddy and Charlie. His future friends and family.

"Billy?" Vision prompted.

Billy felt as if his stomach was tied in knots. He looked his parents in the eyes, "No" He lied. He wanted to tell them everything.

Tommy gave him a thumbs up.

"Ok then," Wanda said, slightly suspicious "You boys know you can tell us anything right?"

"Yes, Mom." Tommy responded with a yawn.

"Better get to bed, boys," Vision said upon seeing Tommy yawn "Good-night."
