[ There is an endless amount of energy in Tommy to burn, even after the rave. He bounces back quickly because he can, because he chooses to, but once the music's gone and his friends have all gone home to bed, there is nothing else to think about but the events of the last...day? month? couple of months?
The last thing he remembers is Patriot, and the terrible sensation of being unable to move, of being terrified.
It had been Wanda's prerogative to get to know him, not the other way around. In that time that Billy spent moping, staring out the window and ignoring the super world around him, Wanda had come to Tommy, told him that if he needed anything, he could come to her. They had lunch sometimes, but then he was gone. He wonders if Wanda noticed, given that whole Mother thing Billy filled him in on. He hopes but doesn't expect, because he knows better than to expect parents to be reliable.
What he didn't expect was what he got when he zoomed over to see if she wanted his company at three in the morning.
An instant later he phases himself through Billy's door, not bothering to knock because it doesn't matter. Not now. Not with this. ]
