"We Need to Talk." "You Too?"
During the course of the others return, Toni had finally found a moment to tell Charlie that they needed to talk.  Or rather, she had tried to.  Because Charlie had blurted out the same thing at just about the same time.

So they'd gone to her room to talk.  She stared down at the silver gauntlets covering her hands and forearms.  Keeping her alive.  Regulating the vast amounts of energy her body produced.  It beat other methods of containment, for sure, but who knew how long these would last?  Doctors McCoy and Pym were just barely ahead of the curve, even with Uncle Tony's help.

"So..." she ventured.  "Who goes first?"

Charlie reached out and grabbed her hand, squeezing lightly.

"I would really like to fix this," Charlie said, "I screwed up big time, and I'd like to fix that.

I'll listen to what you have to say first, though."

"I want to fix it too," Toni said, quietly, squeezing his hand back.

She looked up. "I'm... I'm not doing so hot, Charlie. My powers are probably killing me."

The look on Charlie's face was one of genuine concern.

"...They...they are? Are you getting help for it? Is there anything I can do to help?"

She nods. "I am. Doctor Pym and Doctor McCoy, and Uncle Tony too."

She held up her arms. "These are helping right now, bleeding off some of my access energy... but Doctor McCoy is basically worried I'm turning into energy, essentially."

Impulsively, Charlie stepped forward and drew her to him, holding her close.

"I want to help you," he said. "I...I don't want to lose you."

Toni held on tight. "I'm... I'm scared, Charlie."

She gave him a tighter squeeze and closed her eyes. "Right."

"I really do care about you, Toni." He tipped up her chin. "I'd like to prove that to you."

He kissed her.

Toni held the kiss for a long time. When they broke, she smiled.

"I'd call that a good start."

Charlie smiled back at her.

"Yeah, I'd say so.

Also, an attempt to further make things up and work my way into your good graces...dinner, soon?"
