[She'd stopped in to check on the boys a time or two after everything that had happened, but Billy had still been asleep, unawares, each time. The aftermath of Clint going home hadn't left her feeling the most social, so it's days before she gets back to the clinic room. And it's not to find Teddy trying to catch some sleep at Billy's bedside for once.

She pauses in the doorway, waiting to see how he'd react and if she should be here at all.]


Billy. You're awake.

Depending on how you feel, it might just be a walk down the hall and back. We have a little kitchen sort of room, and if you like, you can eat in there today.

[She almost makes a joke, about Tony and pop-tarts. Bringing him up doesn't sound like the best idea at the last second, and cutting herself off gives her a moment to look at Billy more carefully.]

You can say no. ['No' is in his expression.] What matters is what you feel like you can handle.

[Teddy tightens his grip as he walks onward, knowing that this would be another hurdle to get over. A few of these people were the ones who were affected, after all, though he hasn't seen much of them. He hopes they're not out today, either; just one glimpse and Billy might just try fleeing, go straight back to that room and to that window...]

There aren't a lot of people out today. [There's never a lot of people out. Not compared to New York, at least, and it always feels a little strange.] Probably too cold right now. It's not that long of a walk from here, anyway. [Just down the path, across the bridge, and turning a corner. They don't even have to go through the plaza or anything.]

You never know.

[He leaves it at that, because he's pretty sure Billy won't believe his words. Right now, he reminds Teddy of those prisoners you see on TV, the ones that are transferred somewhere and try to hide their face from the camera as much as possible, whether with their hands, their shirt, or whatever. The image makes him want to wince, because Billy's been acting an awful lot like that for the past week. Like he's a prisoner in his own mind, placing himself under arrest and confined in the clinic.

At least they're moving. At least they're in sunlight, and soon, they'll be home. He does nod to anyone who notices him, but otherwise, he doesn't call attention to them. Just leads the way, until the apartment building is in sight.]

[Almost. And the tease, as Teddy likes to think that it is a tease, isn't really that funny, considering how awful the tunnels are and how it makes the both of them feel on their good days. He glances at Billy, eyebrows raising slightly, and with Billy looking at him now, he might notice how Teddy's hair, at the roots, is just slightly darker than the rest of it.]

Nope. No throwing you anywhere.

[He looks up at the stairs, takes in a breath for himself, and moves forward.]

[Not even a response, huh? Either he's a lot worse off than she was thinking (which may still very well be the case regardless) or he's just really confused why someone he barely knows is coming in to visit him. Or maybe a mix of all of the above?]

You're probably wondering why I'm here, right? Or, you know, who I am. We kinda knew each other during that whole invasion thing, remember? I mean, if you don't, that's okay. A lot of people don't remember much from that week anyway...

[And after spending a week in his own magical lala land, he probably wouldn't want to remember having his brain messed with in the past. Nice going, Kari.]

But. I mean. I wouldn't normally just show up out of the blue like this, but after everything that happened, I just wanted to see how you were doing, so...

[With Billy's eyes hooded, Teddy couldn't quite tell if he noticed the difference. He isn't sure if he wants to know the answer, either.

Did Billy... like that look? The slightly darker hair, the extra muscle; was that what he wanted? Teddy can't see himself, but going by what he thinks in his head, it seemed desirable enough. Something worth looking at. Something worthwhile -

Stop.

On about the fourth flight, Teddy looks back at Billy with a little smile.]


Almost there.

[Teddy slows down until he comes to a halt in the middle of the stairs. He tightens his grip, not wanting to let go of Billy's hand, but...

No, no, he can't give up now. He's so close, they're so close, the apartment is just right there, just a few more steps... If they can make it this far, then it'd be such a huge step they took. Anything but going back to that jail cell of a clinic room...]


... Billy?

[... Shit. Shit shit shit, he did too much, went too far, wasn't subtle enough, look what you're doing to him!

Teddy turns on the stair he's on, hair shifting back to normal and muscle tone decreasing to how he normally look, eyes wide and looking almost afraid as he takes Billy's hand in both of his own. Is - Is he doubting who he is? Does he think -

... Does he want the fake? Does he think of that as the real one?

No, focus.]


Yeah, it... it's me. [He squeezes Billy's hand, giving his hands something to do other than gesture and hold his own arms or something.] It's Teddy.

[But not the one you're looking for.

Shut up.
]


Why, is... something wrong?

[Teddy doesn't hesitate - He leans forward just slightly, enough to let Billy's forehead bump against his chest, and he rests his chin on top of his head. Unseen to Billy, however, is how Teddy glances at the wall, uncertainties and doubts attacking him again.

He isn't sure if it's because of the possession, the way he himself isn't sure of the way he reads things anymore, or both. He doesn't know what to make of what Billy just did; a part of him read relief, the other loss, and he doesn't know which to follow anymore, what to trust anymore. Doubt and sureness are split two ways, and they're separating to the point were he can't hold on to the edges anymore.

But he refuses to allow Billy to see it. They're so close to the apartment, and he doesn't want to scare him off because of his own stupid uncertainty. What Billy's going through right now - he needs to take care of that first. He'll do something about himself later, when things are stable enough to be able to take a little break.

So right now, he remains at a loss for himself. But he brings his eyes ahead again, and he lowers his nose to brush against Billy's hair.]


If you want to keep doing that, let's get off the staircase. It's not far now.

That's right. I do exist, too. [He says as a quiet attempt at a joke.] Is this a bad time...?

Are you deaf? I just said I'm saving you from starvation. [ Biffing it at his chest. ] Eat up.

[She reads his reaction plainly and holds up her hands slowly, not moving too quickly, not wanting to startled him any worse than she already has. She stays where she is, her gaze locked steadily on him.]

Breathe, Billy. I'm not here to hurt you. I just came to see if you were alright. May I come in?
