A cynical smile works its way across Pietro's face. "That's the problem with trying to please everyone, isn't it? Someone always ends up disappointed no matter how earnestly you try."

"That wasn't the true problem in the end, however. Somehow, a few of the Avengers managed to regain their memories. They were angry, of course. Assumed my father had used his mentally ill daughter in one last attempt to seize power. They stormed the proverbial castle, but he had no idea why they were attacking. Eventually, someone with memory and precognitive abilities took care of that and he realized that I was the one to ask her to do it. He flew into a rage and the last thing that I am definitely aware of from that world was a sheet of metal flying at me and Wanda shouting. I believe he killed me in there." The cynicism turns almost thoughtful. It's true that while Pietro had a pretty good idea of what followed, the details of everything after his assumed death in Wanda's pocket universe are someone muddled.

"I woke up on a street in New York's lower east side later that day, completely powerless."

Piotr has to consider this for a long moment.

"So," he offers, hopefully, "if memories were able to be regained in spite of Wanda's warping of reality, does it not stand to reason that those who have lost their mutancy could eventually regain it as well?"

"Theoretically," he mused. "I regained my powers, as did my half-sister, Lorna. I'm told other mutants have had limited success, but not without technological intervention. I don't suppose it's simply going to reverse itself."

Pietro will likely be able to anticipate his next question. The logical extension of the topic of reversing the damage done.

"Is there no hope for Wanda to come forward and reverse this damage herself?"

"We would have to find her to ask, wouldn't we?" Pietro had seen the question coming, but it still struck him as unbelievably stupid. Surely any intelligent person would know that they'd have tried just asking her to fix it, were that possible. He's unable to keep the condescension from his voice as he replies. "I have been searching for my sister for several years now. There were rumors of her returning to our homeland of Transia, so I traveled there. Nothing. Soon she seemed to have joined Henry's team of would be Avengers. That monster was merely a bored god entertaining itself. Believe me when I say that I have done everything possible to find her."

It is not a stupid question from his perspective, as there's more to it than just her willingness. Her capability, whether any progress has been made in healing her mental state, and so on.

"She simply vanished, then, after decimating mutantkind."

He ignores Pietro's notoriously brusque manner, still respectful as he asks the next question.

"Are you certain that her last action was not also a suicide?"
