Tomaz takes it carefully back into her grasp. She isn't really sure how she made it to the outside. One minute she's floating outside of totem to see herself and Behrad, the next she's in a living body again. It's strange how only now she can really perceive the difference between being a spirit within the totem and a living, breathing woman.
She looks up to meet his eyes, wet and completely humbled. "You actually did it. You kept your word." This Zari sounds like she can scarcely believe it. She had trusted him. Things never work out so neatly for her. She had assumed he'd fail through no fault of his own. Tomaz shifts her attention to her brother. She looks so uncertain about what to do. It's one thing to long for someone, but it's another to finally get them back. She doesn't even know what to say. He doesn't remember what they went through together. He can't give her the absolution she desperately craves.
"Behrad, I..." It's now Behrad finally catches on. When he meets his sister's eyes and no longer sees Zari looking back at him. He doesn't freak out. Behrad looks at Tony with a wave of righteous anger he rarely has in him. "What did you do to my sister?" He asks with a quiet fury. He is already plotting the next move. He needs to call Gary or search the timeline for a point where they know where John is. He'll fix this and help beat up Iron Man once it's done without asking him to forgive first. He won't. Not when it's Zari involved. For all the bad blood between them, he loves her so much. Losing her would destroy him.
Tomaz quickly reaches up to make Behrad look at her. It's no easy feat. She realizes quickly this version of her brother is taller. He's older now. "I'm right here, Behrad. Please. I know this is a lot to take in, but I'm your sister. He is our friend. Tony brought us back together." She sends a quick look in Tony's direction. "Tell him."
