Wanda: Your intern's been busy.
Sam: my intern??
Wanda: Fine, team Captain America's intern.
Sam: not what I was confused about
Sam: wanda, we don't have an intern
Wanda: Wait, what?
Wanda: Did you fire him?
Sam: no?
Sam: we've never had an intern, I'm not sure what you're talking about?
Wanda: Huh.
Wanda: I thought you'd gotten one.
Sam: nope
Sam: if you've got any suggestions, we'd love to hear them, we've been thinking that maybe we should get one.
Sunday 6:46 PM
Wanda: I'll think on it.
Wanda: I was thinking of coming to New York soon. I have some business to take care of.
Sam: you sure that's a good idea?
Wanda: Yes. It's just a quick trip, I'm not planning to stay for long.
Wanda: I need to see Dr. Strange about something.
Sam: well, come by afterward
Sam: I'm in town for the next couple weeks, I'll make us coffee
Sam: bucky says if you want to sleep on his couch rather than come here and go back in the same day, you're welcome to
Wanda: I'll keep that in mind. And I would love to have some of your coffee. All the instagram pictures have been making me jealous.
Sam: you've said

Peter: hey
Peter: uh
Peter: thanks
Peter: for what you said
Peter: and for your number
Wanda: Of course.
Wanda: I have been there and done that, in more ways than one.
Wanda: Please feel free to text me anytime.
Peter: yeah
Peter: I might
Peter: I don't have any other friends anymore, right?
Wanda: I suppose not.
Wanda: I have also been there and done that.
Peter: I probably need therapy, but I don't think I'm going to be able to get it
Wanda: You're not alone in that.
Wanda: I probably need therapy, too, and I also don't think I'm going to be able to get it.
Peter: you aren't going to tell them, right?
Wanda: No.
Peter: okay
Peter: like the whole internship thing would be cool
Peter: but I don't want them to know about the rest of it
Peter: like who I really am
Wanda: They won't find out from me.
Peter: I still don't understand how you know
Wanda: I suppose that when you fuck with the universe enough, it leaves you alone when other people fuck with it.
Peter: yeah
Peter: I guess it'd take a special kind of magic to fuck with the mind stone
Peter: I didn't think of that
Wanda: I doubt anyone thought of that.

Monday 9:17 PM
Sam: hey
Sam: so the new intern's working out fine so far
Sam: actually a really quick thinker, he thinks like he's done this stuff before
Wanda: Good. I'm not surprised, though.
Sam: how did you say you knew him again?
Wanda: Long story. You don't want me to get into it, trust me.
Sam: if you say so
Sam: I don't know, I feel like I'd really fucking like to know how you know a random teenager from queens
Sam: he just shrugged when I asked him and said he met you after his aunt died and you were nice to him but he didn't want to talk about it
Wanda: That's a good summary.
Sam: if you say so
Sam: thanks, though
Sam: we appreciate the suggestion, however you know him
Wanda: Anytime.
