[Like any teen, Kamala can't stand being stuck inside the house for long without some good video games and snacks. She's not sure if this is better. It's freezing out here. It does get her out of the house which nets her a meeting with an Avenger.
Kamala immediately does a doubletake at her advice. It can't really be Wanda Maximoff saying that. The longer Kamala stares, the clearer it is that is her.
The teen visibly brightens. This is the coolest thing that's ever happened to her. Kamala is about to laugh her advice off. She's standing by someone who protected the planet from the greatest evil the galaxy has ever seen. What does she need to be afraid of?
The fallout and circumstances around that victory start to filter back in. Her smile gradually fades. She remembers it being confirmed Wanda died in the Snap along with half of all life on Earth. She remembers that even when she came back that not all the Avengers joined her. Some of the survivors of the initial Snap were even lost in the battle too. She recalls hearing news reports about what went down in Westview before her parents quickly changed the channel. Sorrow colors her features rather than fear.
She'd been 11 when half of all life on Earth came to an end. Her parents taught her early on to only have compassion for her fellow survivors and grace with herself as they maneuvered through life at the end of half of it. Not everyone can handle so much loss and be their best selves all the time.
Kamala catches herself staring and laughs nervously.] Oh... thanks. I'm sure I'll be okay since- you know. [She gestures to Wanda only to wince. Okay maybe she shouldn't just assume Wanda even wants to superhero anymore. She probably saw her friends die in front of her.]
Sorry, I'm being a total jerk. Ignore me. [She'll just start to walk a little faster in any other direction. It's okay!!!]
