[Here's a small boy. He is blinking, confused, into the camera. He looks remarkably like a one Billy Kaplan, but tiny.]

Zeyde, wo bist du-

[There's a pause.]

I think I'm lost. I shouldn't have left, hello? Hello? Can you see me?

I'm looking for my grandfather. Or my brother? Or-

I lost Matthew.

[ BILLY STOP TRYING TO CALL OUT YOUR GRANDPA ON HIS INCONSISTENCIES HE'S FROM AN X-MEN FRANCHISE!!!! ]

You didn't do anything wrong. But tell zeyde what you did, I promise you won't get in trouble.

[unenchantment]

[IT'S NOT HIS FAULT BLAME BRYAN SINGER]

I did.

I did a really big spell.

Only I don't remember any of it.

But I know it's mine.

[incogneto]

[ Don't worry I already do ]

...

It's alright, Billy.

[ But uh, now he knows why he's holding an 8 year old and not a 20-year-old ]

Just don't lose me, alright? And we can figure this out together.

[unenchantment]

Don't be mad?

I talked to mama. She's not mad.

[He holds on.]

I was scared.

[incogneto]

I'm not mad.

[ He presses a kiss to Billy's crown. ]

I'll never be mad at you. You have nothing to be afraid of. Let's find your mama, alright?

[ He'll carry Billy, if he'd like. Having a small weight on his hip and a soft cheek on his shoulder, it's getting him a bit emotional. ]

[unenchantment]

[That much is true.

Erik loves his grandsons no matter what universe he's in. Provided they're still his grandsons. Or something.

God fuck Marvel, honestly.

Billy keeps his chubbyish hands around Erik's shoulders. If he's not putting him down he's not going to insist on walking.

He always was the one who was more clingy.]

Everyone else is going to be mad.

[incogneto]

[ Maybe he'll even enjoy the bouncing from Erik's quick pace, trying to get to Wanda in as little time as possible. Maybe she can fix this. Whatever this is. She's magical! Right! ]

Don't ever worry about everyone else, Billy.

Do you remember anything about... before you cast the spell?

[unenchantment]

No.

I woke up the other day and Gansey found me.

And then I hid a lot.

[incogneto]

I remember that part.

It's alright, your mama will know what to do.

[ HOPEFULLY... ]

Don't worry, okay? About any of it.

[unenchantment]

Okay.

[He rests his head on Erik's shoulder, and he finally, finally feels safe.]

Can we get dinner, too?

[incogneto]

Of course we can. What do you want to have?

[ He's pretty much bracing himself for a grocery run to get dino nuggets and oreos. ]

[unenchantment]

Kreplach?

[Son, you raised this child.]

[incogneto]

Only if you help me make them.

What kind is your favorite? Beef? Cheese?

[ He did and his heart also grew three sizes bigger ]

[unenchantment]

Cheese.

[He does not find this question odd because he changes his mind once a week.]

[incogneto]

Cheese it is.

[ And don't worry, he's had enough experience with little kids to know they change their minds constantly... ]

And dessert?

[unenchantment]

Rugelach!

[Because Billy is of the go big or go home school of getting shit out of grandpa]

[incogneto]

You bet.

[ Erik totally beams at him. He loves this child. ]

You're going to help me make that too, yes?

[unenchantment]

Yes!

[incogneto]

[ I guess they're gonna step through this thing and go find Wanda on the other side. FTR Erik's sleeping on the couch and Billy and Wanda can take Erik's bed. ]
