I don't hate you, Tony Stark.

[perhaps it'll mean something for him to see that. the grievances he caused her and her family are in the past, and the greatest of them all was something he had no idea happened. people change, the past doesn't define them, especially when someone is so willing to give it all up for the greater good.

one man in exchange of the universe. one family in a perfect suburban home in exchange for the freedom of a neighborhood.

different, but not all too dissimilar.

wanda isn't saying she forgives him, but she's putting aside her anger. she's letting go of that—has let go of that for a while now. maybe, if she can do this much, there might yet be hope that the children she terrorized would be able to put aside their anger, too, and perhaps forgive her some day.

she doesn't send tony anything else. not anything to say she appreciates the offer, or that she'd like to extend it to him in return, too. perhaps the words she leaves him with will be enough for the both of them for now.]
