"You don't know me!" Tommy counters sharply. "I'm just a fucking nothing in your life. We've known each other, like, a week and a half. It's nothing. So stop!"
Now who is being unreasonable? Tommy, actually, but dammit he wants to protect this one good guy who has cared about him. And clearly the world has enough hatred for mutants. Consider what they might do to a nice push-over like Billy? So what if he's only fast. That's got to be dangerous in its own ways. Sonicbooms or something.
"In fact? Forget my name, forget about Tommy Shepherd, forget you met me altogether," Tommy snapped. It isn't even accidental. It's for Billy's own good, he tells himself. He forces his magic and energy into the words and it's not easy, but force comes with them and the force echoes like the weight of the world.
Nor does he wait to see if the words work. He just dismisses the projection. It's enough for him. To know the magic went off. Too bad he didn't think the word choice through too well. After all, he specifically equated forgetting his name with forgetting him. How is a young witch to know that hearing the former might one day release the memories his magic sought to smother?
Oops. Not that he cares. As far as Tommy is concerned, this is the end of the wold having to know anything about Tommy Shepherd.
[OOC: thinking maybe B talking to Teddy or Kate about feeling like something is missing after the YAs start up? Maybe B lending Teddy his phone or them hanging in B's room and Teddy finding that Billy's computer history had him researching stuff in jersey for abused kids and emancipation and questioning him about it?]
Seems like a good skip point. Billy getting scooped by Nate, then on to some YA shenanigans
