What would you consider to be unforgivable?

You know where my powers came from.

[Must she say it?]

From the Mind Gem, I assume. That is the extent of my knowledge.

I can do anything the Mind Stone could.

[please don't make her say it

...she's going to lock this just in case.]

[ He's clearly missing something here. ]

So can I.

I fail to see the issue with that.

You asked what I did that is unforgivable.

I think you can imagine. I was not always the Avengers' friend.

[Maybe she shouldn't be telling him this, but if he's going to be helping her, he'll find out eventually.]

And yet you are now.

Is it that you are unforgivable or that they'll change their minds?

Somewhere in between, I think. I can't say I would never use these powers again.

[She's sorry for hurting them now, and she's very sorry for losing control of the Hulk. It's a darker power, sure, but Wanda can't say there isn't someone out there who's earned a little mindbending.]

Your powers are a part of you now. To deny it is to deny yourself. And there's no point doing that for other people.

[There's a longer pause this time.]

I don't want them to hate me.

[Would they, if she stopped holding back? Steve might not, but the others...]

Hating yourself is a worse alternative.

[ And Loki would know. Who else would he hate more? ]

I don't hate myself. But sometimes it frightens me.

It is the same thing.

[They haven't officially had any lessons since his original offer, but:]

Can you help me understand it better?

I don't want to accidentally hurt someone.
