Walking Around Haven (Open)

Wanda felt a sense of relief wash over her when she heard her sons voice. Though she had been gone, she never stopped worrying about or thinking about her kids. She turned towards his voice, a soft but bright smile appearing on her face. “No deep thoughts here.” she said, standing. She moved over to her son, reaching out to gently rest a hand on his cheek. “I’m so happy you’re safe, Billy.”
She let her hand linger for a moment before pulling it back, the smile still one her face. “It’s really good to see you.” she said. “I’m sorry I disappeared like I did, I should have let you know I was leaving. I hope you can forgive me for that.”
Wanda looked back towards the couch before looking at her son. “Would you like to join me?” she asked. “It would be nice to spend some time with you.”
When her eyes fell on him, he felt an innate sense of comfort, one unique only to her. The words 'past' and 'life' were usually thrown around in his mind whenever they were together, accompanying the bizarre sensation of familiarity. The mutant leaned into her touch, her fingers warm on his cheek.
"I'm so glad you're safe." Even if out of everyone, he hadn't ever been quite as worried about her. It was no secret to anyone how powerful she was. Wanda knew how to take care of herself, it was one of the things he had always admired about her as a kid. He’d reserved the anxiety for his boyfriend and teammates.
Billy was quick to shake his head at the apology, "Don't be silly. There's nothing to forgive." Sure, he had missed her, but if there was one person who'd understand needing to get away from everyone- well, it'd be him.
"I'd love too," He was quick to accept the offer, of course. As if he'd ever turn down an opportunity to bond with his mother (And still favorite avenger.)
"It was quite the wild ride here, let me tell you that." he began almost immediately once he sat down, crossing one of his legs of his knee. Any previous awkwardness he felt gone apparently, as he couldn't have sounded more casual now. Curiosity now peaking in his eyes.
"Did you- did you come back at the start of all this? Or, did you travel over here to haven?"
