Bruce was gone by the time Wanda joined the team, so he never got the chance to accept her apologies and attempt to start again. He understood people who sought redemption. The blood on his own hands would never go away, and he was not capable of blaming others for their past deeds. Not if they were trying to change. Someone like Thaddeus Ross, he would always hate and never trust, but that was because the man only got worse with time. Wanda was young. She was misled.

"It's okay. I don't hold grudges." He wanted her to understand that up front, and hoped the genuine understated warmth would prove it. She'd been a true Avenger when he saw her last. She fought hard for them. She'd put the time in, he knew that much. "Text is easier, but context is lost on it." It was typically more comfortable for him, to have that space in between, but he would live with it.

"No, I, uh, got some answers about our situation back home. I came back to earth after a few years." So as far as he was concerned, that was wrapped up. Unless Wanda wanted to talk about anything. He was definitely not going to offer her the misery of knowing what came next. "I suppose if you want to explain what's happened here since you arrived and what you think the key parts to know about are in this place. Cliff notes, if it's easier than going into detail."
