[Anelle is actually easier to talk about than Sarah, since Teddy never actually knew the former. It's a relief, even if he takes a moment to answer, and even if there's a little ache, knowing that he'll never really get to know her like he'd want to. At least Wanda's alive back in their world.

Even so, as he pressing his hands against Billy and slides them up his back, his thoughts jump to something else. Not Anelle, but...]

I know we shouldn't talk about the future, but... After the war ended back on our world, there was a broadcast of Captain Marvel saying that he came back. In the flesh, Billy, actually back. We were on a date in Times Square when it happened, and I decided to be a lousy boyfriend and bail to try to find him.

[He doesn't mention that Billy followed him, or that he made a callous remark that made Teddy actually have to warn him.]

I did find him. Apparently, it was some kind of time travel thing that made him show up again. And I kind of blurted out immediately that I was his son.

[A half smile comes up, slightly bitter and not at all real.] He bolted. I don't know what I was expecting, some kind of father-son reunion or... whatever. God, I acted terrible to everyone after that. Sorry in advance for that.
