[ There's a precise moment between normal rapidfire Tommy texts and texts that aren't getting answered because Tommy's attention is fully occupied by what's around him (or sleep). This teeny little gap in which the response is quick enough that you know he wasn't otherwise engaged but instead struggled to find words. He doesn't know that the moment is now, and sends the message. ]
[ Because finding out both twins are now gone (not that he didn’t feel Pietro’s actually gone a month back) stings and puts into question if one of them’s next. ]
It’s been on my mind ever since I found out. Kept thinking about it. None of us should be stuck here without the other.
[ Billy regrets not talking to William afterwards but he was so spooked by William’s last line in that memory that the teleport was out of panic. It reminded him so much of when he lost his temper at the Warden.
Suffice to say, it still haunts his dreams sometimes. ]
Something like she took over a town called Westview and the rest of the townies were trapped there. He's said that's where she had us. Might've screwed up telling him it wasn't the same for me - it's not like there's RULES about talking to him.
There was something else. A morgue. I thought it wasn't a prison but he corrected me. Said that William Kaplan died in a car crash. And I drowned.
[ Wrong subject. Tommy flinches, wherever he is, and tries to correct it. Just because he experienced it doesn't mean it was him. He's fine. ]
[ After reading all that, Billy closes his eyes for a moment, takes in a deep breath and lets it go in a sigh. He's not with Teddy right now, and after reading Tommy's message, he wishes he is.
It's all confirmation of what he guessed. At least, just half of it. Hearing "Do I have to kill this boy for my brother to live?" from William, in his memory, is enough for Billy to think William's Tommy did die.
He didn't know the rest. ]
That's awful.
So that's why his magic signature is a bit off. He's inhabiting a dead teenage boy.
I don't think I have words to describe how terrible this experience must be for them.
[ And Tommy won't be appearing when this topic is on the menu. To say he didn't like the experience is an understatement, nor did he take too well to the morgue. ]
For him. I don't know if it worked on Thomas. It felt -
Wrong. I didn't say it. But he's got a right to be messed up about and a right to not want to talk about it. It's not his fault the elves decided to let me see in his head.
[ That's not nerding. It's only nerding when Tommy doesn't want to know the backstory. When he does, it's just really fucking useful. ]
'cause William's in a coven with an Agatha, and you know an Agatha in the context of magic and witches. That's the lady that was in the morgue with him.
That's her? The Agatha Harkness I've heard about is supposed to be this old witch. Not like she can't just change her appearance to make herself look younger, to be fair.
Did William mention why he's in a coven with her in the first place? [ Billy doesn't think he'd join Agatha's coven. Then again, Agatha always had ties with Wanda one way or another. ]

What about William?
no subject
Still here. His name is still on the door next to my room.

[ That's more like it, speedwise, that almost too quick full steam ahead never think never beg forgiveness response.
But he realizes that it might sound like he doesn't want William to be home where he's maybe safer. ]
Not that I want him kidnapped - or you - but if I'm here, you're here and I don't know what "not here" means.

Was too horrified that I teleported away after seeing it.

Do we know anyone named Agatha?
no subject
In the context of magic and witches, the only Agatha that comes to mind is Agatha Harkness.
Why?
