( that wasn't. what he wanted tommy to latch onto, but it's a little too late to turn back time now, oops. maybe he should have had it come up with loki around. used his godly durability to his advantage so he could get the hell away from tommy's questioning. billy knows what he's getting at. what he's really asking. )

I got here in November. This me. I guess there was another me here before I was? I can't remember any of it. Before I got here, Teddy. . left. He thought I made him, or I made him love me. Not--not intentionally, but that my being a reality warper had some effect on how he felt. That his emotions were just fabricated, a piece of a spell I weaved without realizing it.

( that's the answer tommy's looking for, isn't it. )

Right before I got here, I used my magic to give Loki a boost--aged him up a bit. That's when I was pulled through to here. But he's several years ahead of me, he--uh. Apologized for the mess me made my life, was actually honest about it. I thought the whole thing with Mother was my fault, that I dragged her out here, that it was my power that caused everything and it still kind of was but it wasn't actually, I guess. ( tommy doesn't even know about all of this shit. ) Anyway, he was really clingy when I got here. Like, weird levels of clingy.

I guess part of it was how he got along with the me who was here before and I got used to it and we started dating and that's seriously all you need to know.
