[ Obviously all of these messages were meant to be audio, because at the moment Steph is changing clothes. Into her batsuit. Let the record show that her bra does not have any bats on it. Her underwear is all up in your faces. ]
[Wanda is out in the woods in the CES and looks like positive Hell. Clothes ripped, face smeared with dirt and tears, lips trembling.]
Nobody's died yet. Or that we know of. But she means to make us die, and the curse is getting worse. I can see it. I can feel what it's doing to me.
And I can't believe that people are comforting her. It's like they're rewarding her for going psycho hateful and trying to kill us all. "Oh, poor Sveta, she's so sensitive and hurt..." She belongs in Zero, and then under a permanent power damper so she can't do this again.
I'm covered in bruises. One friend has a broken hand, another a broken nose, a third a broken ankle. I'm having to exile myself so my powers don't hurt people and I've nearly gotten killed twice. She's a horrible, horrible person, and if she gets away with this....
That doesn't mean she deserves to die. She didn't mean for this to happen, so we don't take it out on her, understand?
[ That is some intense serious voice there, Wanda. Because Steph's made mistakes on this scale before, and when you put it like that? She refuses to let it go the same way. ]
Did I say she deserves to die?!??! NO! Goddamn it, though, she does deserve to have her powers taken away, and to be put in a cage until she's not being a crazy bitch anymore! Not to be cuddled and comforted and protected while she spreads misery everywhere and refuses to stop! Where's the comfort and support for the rest of us?
[HUGE pop of static; the screen jumps. Wanda is sobbing.]
Look at us! Do you think I deserve her hijacking my powers and making me too dangerous to be around people? Did my friends deserve to be hurt, or Braxiatel to die? It's happening because she hates us. Her being a Warden and well liked shouldn't give her a get-out-of-torturing-us-free card!
Yeah, and I'm tripping over everything in sight and probably going to break something before the day is over. It's horrible, but we deal with it and we move on. It doesn't matter that she's a warden. I didn't even know her before this.
But she made a mistake. She knows she made a mistake. This is not her fault and she will not suffer for it more than she has to. Do you understand me? I'm sorry you're in pain, but we deal with it and we move on.
This isn't a mistake! She's refusing to stop. If I die, are you still going to try and babble at me to move on and that she shouldn't be punished for letting her hatred take over? If I did this I'd be thrown in the cage within minutes--and I'd accept it for everyone's safety. She's not that good a person, so she should be forced there for our safety. She's not more important than the rest of us, she just thinks she is!
Did you hear a word she said? She didn't know. She and Howie are trying to stop it right now. She does not deserve to be punished more than she already has for something she didn't mean to happen. She didn't know.
It's not punishment if it's the only way to stop her! And yeah, I heard what she said. She said that I did something to her and that I deserve what she's done. That is what she said to me. If she's not evil, then she's plain crazy.
I may have to go to Zero to damp MY powers because of what she's done. Do you know how scared I am of that place? It shows up in my nightmares, okay? But I'll do it, for the safety of people I mostly don't even know.
What the hell are you talking about? I'm stuck somewhere else. I already promised not to do anything to the crazy bitch. But she deserves to be thrown under the power damper and locked up until she gets over herself.
You're just so wrapped up in must-protect-Sveta that it's turned you into a reactionary asshole. Go to Hell. You, and her.

And if it's good enough for me...

I won't let you punish her for a mistake!
