Two days later. At the Avenger facility. Wanda is cooking when Peter comes over to talk and see Wanda.

Peter: Hey. Sorry to just show up. This was the only time I could get a ride.

Wanda: How are you?

Peter: Better now that I am in therapy again.

Wanda: Do you want to talk about it?

Peter: I don't know where to start. I've been diagnosed with depression, bipolar, and anxiety.

Wanda stares at Peter.

Peter: Wow that was the first time I actually said that out loud. I'm kind of a mess. How do you deal with everything you've been through? I guess I just don't know how to handle things.

Wanda: I'm sorry you've been going through this. You should have come to me sooner Peter. You know we are very similar. We lost so much at a young age. I still struggle but I definitely understand how to control it.

Peter listens to Wanda.

Wanda: I take it one day at a time. If I'm having an off day I talk to the team about it. Also don't worry I've been to therapy too. You need people to talk to outside your therapist that you trust. I know it is hard to trust people.

Peter: It is hard to trust people in high school. Yes I could tell Ned but he just wouldn't understand. It's hard to find people that relate to my situation. It's not like I have that many friends. It is just easier to be alone.

Wanda: I'm your friend. The team is always there for you.

Peter: Of course but I just don't want to bother anyone. You all are all so busy saving people.

Wanda: Peter, you will never bother me. Next time you better text me. I expect you to hang with me and the team more. We miss you.
