Her heart pounded painfully against her ribs, and for a moment, the briefest of moments, ice ran through her veins as she watched her son nearly die right before her. But then she saw him breathing, and she didn’t hesitate to throw herself by his side, murmuring something about losing him while brushing a reassuring (and reaffirming) kiss to Billy’s forehead. Hot tears stung at the corners of her eyes, and her throat felt impossibly tight, like she couldn’t get a proper breath, but he was alright. He was going to be alright.
Hand encased in the signature fuchsia glow, Wanda trailed her fingers from his hairline down the side of his face, stopping only once she reached his jaw. She wasn’t exactly thinking, reacting more on instinct than anything, and she didn’t know how much pain he was in, but a blow like that had to have left some damage, and if she could ease any of it then she’d try.
❝Is that better?❞ she asked, concern etched in every facet of her being.
