[ he sighs big, handing her the packet as he immediately loses interest in eating. even this brief interlude has him thinking he should be getting back to work. ]
That's super fair. This place sucks even worse than Under the Sea world.
I think if anyone's entitled to think that, it's you.
[ As if reading his thoughts, she swallows the rest of the pseudo-apricot and gently grabs his hand, proffering the opened packet he pushed at her in an obvious prompt. ]
Hey. Try-- please? Even a little. [ Little is truly what there's on offer here, so... Okay, maybe there's some nagging left in her after all, but she does think he could use a bit of a boost in his blood sugar levels before he gets back to work. ]
[ he looks down at his mag-boots, thinking about the nightmare that place immortalized for him. should he tell her...? ugh. it takes him a moment to catch on, but then he's taking the packet back and moving to sit down at the little desk assembly that's hooked to the wall. the truth is he has negative energy right now, but it's never stopped him before. ]
I have to tell you some... things you're not gonna like. But I don't know if this is the right time. [ he munches a dried blueberry and looks up at her nervously. ]
[ Oh, well. That's not ominous at all. Pepper swallows a sigh and pushes some of the stuff on the bunk to the side so she can perch on the edge of it, grabbing a fresh fruit packet to tear open. ]
Well... is there really going to be a right time to tell me something like that? [ She gives him a look with a tiny shrug of one shoulder. The choice is his, but he may as well while they have a moment to themselves. ]
Astoria reached out to Cap when we came back from Fishtopia. She said... well, a lot of stuff. But the gist is that she's Voldemort and we're all carrying around a stupid piece of her stupid magic inside us, only we didn't even get a cool scar.
[ he grimaces, really hating the whole thing. but she needs the truth as much as he and steve do. ]
I'm starting over, square one. The only people I trust are in this room. [ which incidentally... extends to miles. he is a superkid, his true weakness. ]

What... [ Shaking her head slightly and swallowing, she tries again. ] What does that mean, exactly?
