That hits her like a punch to the gut, and Wanda clenches her jaw, an intense look of sorrow and anger flashing across her face. He has a right to be angry, she knows. She's seen the records on his parents, his school reports, his CONDOR file. It's awful, that the random rolls of chaos magic left him to be raised by such a dismal family, but it had nothing to do with Wanda. And now Tommy is lashing out, saying things to hurt her because he can, and that's certainly not allowed.

"Thomas Shepherd Maximoff." The placating tone is gone from Wanda's voice, replaced by a razor sharp edge. "I didn't know you existed until I ran into you in that park. I thought that when I became a parent I would have a little advance warning, and I am doing my best here. Magic is complex, and I'm sorry that you grew up in a bad situation. But that was not my doing, and I'm not going to defend myself or keep apologizing for it just because you are angry."

Maybe she can handle this mom thing after all.
