Tommy nods, Natasha's smart like that. She follows along quickly and he appreciates that. Appreciates taking a few nanoseconds to arrange his thoughts even more.

"So, well, things get complicated from there. Demon came and reclaimed the souls, killing her kids. Which of course led to her having a serious breakdown. Her magic had altered our souls enough that we sorta exploded the demon for a while. And her old mentor used a spell to block her memories. A lot of shit happened after that," Tommy says, because he's definitely going to be vague over his soul-mom going crazy, blowing shit up, killing a few Avengers, and having to be stopped by Dr. Strange because no one had ever cared to tell him she was hurting so he could help. "Thing was? No one knew our souls were also thrown into the past. Wanda lost little boys, small, toddlers or something. Not long after, she meets Billy on the street. Billy who was sixteen."

Tada. Retro-reincarnation.

"So Billy and I were born to different families in different states. But he takes after her powers, and I take after Pietro's, but Billy and I, being the kids of a nexus being, are supposed to be insanely powerful compared to even her."

Except he'd never proven to be, though Billy really has.

"And things didn't even stop being complicated there."

Not by a long shot.
