Summary: Billy experiences a prophetic dream.
For Billy, it was another evening staring at the ceiling in his room with Teddy’s warm body curled around his. After a loose sigh, he shifted his head toward Teddy’s sleeping face, reveling in the shadows on his smooth green skin.
Billy resisted the urge to run his fingers through his hair, in an attempt to not wake him, so he shifted his gaze back to the darkened ceiling.
Thoughts buzzed around in his head - all thoughts of finding his supposed mother, the Scarlet Witch. Despite his attempts to subtly pilfer some clues out of their Avengers mentors, Billy and Tommy still had come up short, and despite Master Pandemonium’s cryptic warning, Billy would never be appeased no matter what obstacles stood before him.

He felt the weight of hopelessness closing his eyes, and in this hazy lull, Billy found himself already dreaming, walking through a void with only his loud footsteps as comfort. He turned to his right, instinctively drawing out his hand for Teddy. A pinch of loneliness hit him when he only found darkness, and without Teddy, Billy didn’t know if he could travel through his dreams alone.
He even longed for Tommy, sarcasm and rudeness included.
“Hello?” he called out, but he felt silly for expecting an answer in the vacuum.
Unexpectedly, he heard his own voice. “You were my favorite Avenger.” A wave of joyful fulfillment washed over him as he felt the warmth of a someone’s palm against his cheek.
“Soon.” The woman’s voice was gentle yet intimidating. Billy trembled, noticing a surge of power rush through him like a flame to flesh. He blinked as the darkness turned on him, burning him with a scarlet flash.
When he woke up, Teddy was already holding his hand, wiping away his tears.
