"Mmm." Wanda's not totally sure what to make of everything Claire is telling her, but she listens politely, nodding occasionally. "I think your way makes more sense too. One of the good things about being a superhero is that people will make it quite clear what they expect of you - at least on the business side of things. I can't make any promises about the social side."
She sits back a little, uncrossing and recrossing her legs the other way. "When I first came to America I had no idea how to act around other people my age. My brother and I grew up in a very small village and we mostly kept to ourselves, so being Trailblazers was the first time we were really around other teenagers. I had the hardest time figuring out the social rules, and my English was very formal so I would sometimes get made fun of for that. It was easier for Quicksilver, he was just rude to mostly everybody and he picked up the slang much faster than I did." Wanda gives Claire a small smile, taking the cue and looking at her mouth instead of her eyes. "I know it's not the same. But I remember what it's like to be your age and to have a hard time making friends. If anyone ever gives you any trouble or you just feel lonely and need somebody to talk to you can always come to me."
Out of a hidden (possibly extra-dimensional) pocket Wanda pulls a business card. It's not the professional one she gives out to the press, but her personal card:
