Mia turned around and held up a hand in surprise, “Woah, woah! Hold up frosted tips, I'm not whatever that is.”

“Liar! You look and sound like me!” Amelia yelled with a glare. “Tell me something only I would know, not some green freak.”

“Okay first off, ouch. Secondly…um–uhh, we will never admit it to Liane but we enjoy some of Taylor Swift’s songs.”

“You are…not wrong. Wait, is this that alternative universe meet up, I heard about?”

“Alternative universe–nevermind. But yeah, sure, it is I guess…”

“I’m Amelia Morse. Earth 616.”

“Uh, Mia Morse-Parker, uh I don't know what exact Earth number am I from? Possibly Earth 1-99999. Sorry I had a weird day.”

“No problem, I get it. Weird days happen to me too! Yesterday Avengers Tower was attacked and Liane freaked out while Rochelle was taken. Oh! Luna went insane as well, using purple magic.”

“No way! Doc Ock attacked yesterday too, but Ji-Hoon blasted him and Ricky went straight to disarming his extra arms. Nano-tech, weird but cool.”

“Very cool! I use it to design a few suits.”

Amelia nods, dropping her weapon and putting it into her pocket for safety reasons. She scanned Mia up and down, already getting a sense of who she is and possibly where their timelines/universes split up.

“Age.” Amelia said with a smirk. “You look a bit younger than me, no offense.”

“I’m 24? How old are you exactly?” Mia asked curiously, relieved she lowered her gun.

“28, so you're only 4 years younger than me, nice.”

“Huh? 28 years old..I age gracefully, unless that’s all surgical?”

“Nope! All natural, the Parker genes are a gift…and so are my father’s genes.”

Mia blinked in confusion, “Father? Ben Parker or Phil Coulson…?”

“Aunt Bobbi’s big brother.” Amelia clarified as if it was obvious. “Shitty father, no wonder Bobbi never liked to mention it, but at least I got some closure.”

“I…okay.”

“You never met him?”

Mia shook her head innocently as Amelia cocked a half smile nodding.

“Oh, you sweet, sweet, child.” Amelia replied, shaking her head with a sigh. “You lucked out and dodged a bullet. I assumed you got your powers on Nepal alright, even if you didn’t meet him there? You know ‘The Afterlife’?”

“I’ve been to Nepal, which is where I met Jeremy and–wait did you say powers?!” Mia asked, taking in the information.

“God, you’re slow, aren’t you? And yes! I said "powers”! What are you? Human?”

“Apparently!?”

Mia explained that she never went to the cave, below the lighthouse, where Daisy got her abilities and never got blasted, she was above the surface level with the rest of the team. Amelia blinked and scoffed, realizing how risky she must’ve been meanwhile her counterpart was more or less on the safer end.

Possibly, less traumatized too?

Amelia looked at her up and down trying to comprehend what she was hearing, now she’s betting that neither Earths were totally different when it came to certain things.

“Okay, so it appears like we have some differences. Take it back, how about your time within SHIELD, i’m guessing you and Grant Ward had a connection?” Amelia said with a smirk.

Mia huffed and smiled annoyed, “Yeah, some connection…we were good until it was revealed that he was HYDRA all along, working for John Garrett. Well, technically he was loyal to Garrett, not HYDRA and–”

“Wait what? Stop! No, no, no that’s wrong! Ward was always SHIELD, since day one, no undercover code or shit.”

Mia raised an eyebrow and scoffed, “You clearly didn’t have your coffee this morning…Ward is HYDRA, girlie. Wake up.”

Amelia pinched the bridge of her nose, “I know that, dumbass! But in my universe, he became HYDRA later!”

“Come again?”

“Grant was and will always be loyal to SHIELD since day one. It’s where he felt home, but after having to go undercover at HYDRA for a few months to gather intel, something went wrong and he turned on us. It was all Garrett’s fault.”

Mia blinked in shock and took a shaky breath, trying to understand what she was hearing. She wasn’t going to lie, she didn’t know weather to feel envious or sad for her counterpart.

“Okay, so he was SHIELD all along but betrayed you guys due to being manipulated by HYDRA?” Mia exclaimed, raising an eyebrow once more. “What? No, him wanting you to join him or whatever? Or him apologizing for his actions and trying to get you to understand him?”

“Oh yeah! He’s done that a few times, and still did that..” Amelia smirked and giggled looking off into the distance as if remembering something. “It was a joy to see him in that cell and plead for my forgiveness.”

“And you forgave him?”

“Sometimes. My man is very convincing.”

Mia nodded then paused, it was like a record scratch was heard in that very moment.

“YOU’RE WHAT?!” Mia exclaimed, putting her hands on her hips. “Did you just say ‘your man’? Are you and Ward…a thing?”

Amelia just shrugged, “It’s complicated. We never really dated or anything, but you know, chemistry. Friends to enemies kinda dynamic, with a hint of underlying tension kinda thing.”

“So you're not together?”

“We were! Way back when, a few dates but afterwards? Nahhh!”

Mia sighed in relief, as if a huge weight had taken off her shoulders, but still questioning her counterpart's motives. But before we can smile and turn to the next topic on her mind, her counterpart sorta beat her to it…in a rather calm and odd approach.

“But I did date Michelle’s brother though?”Amelia said ever so casually, holding up a finger and grinned.

“I’m sorry you dated who?” Mia asked in disbelief as to what she just heard. “Did you just say Michelle’s brother? Rochelle’s girlfriend Michelle’s big brother?”

“Yeap! That’s the one!”

“HOW?! WHEN?!”

“Uh, hello? Isn’t it obvious? He’s handsome and flirty, and I'm pretty and flirty, plus we both had similar interests right off the bat. Why not date?”

“I..okay. You dated a dude with ultra powers, and who’s mother is literally Carol FREAKING Danvers…?! So you just flirted with your friend’s brother?”

“Technically, he found me and there was a connection sooo…wait you never hooked up with Michelle’s brother Micheal?”

“NOO! I don’t even think I met the guy! And you-yo-you are a wild little flirt!?”

Amelia smirked and snickered, holding back her laughter at her counterpart's reaction. The poor girl was in pure shock and maybe a hint of disbelief, even disgust. Or even some jealousy? Amelia couldn’t tell. It was clear that this version of her was more tamed when it came to the romance department than she was.

But then again, Amelia has had wildlife and lived longer, even been to the underworld once and so much more. She has been with Grant Ward, Micheal Danver, Quieten Beck, Nikolai Morozov and possibly had a few other romances, depending on the comic book she was in.

“Okay, okay, calm down, sweetheart.” Amelia said, chuckling, holding up a hand.

Mia scoffed, “Slut.”

“Ouch. But at least hoe sounds a bit nicer.”

“Whatever.”

“Now i’m curious, who did you fall in love with?” Amelia asked curiously.

Mia softened her expression and nods, “Nikolai.”

“That royal flirt?!”

“Nikolai isn’t royalty…”

“Uh, sweetheart, he is. His family comes from a royal bloodness, has he not told you about his past?!”

“I know enough. He said his parents were murdered, his older brother is horrible as he trained him to be a skilled fighter and treated him badly..and he escaped his home then ended up in New York, a few years later he met me.”

“Girl, you seriously realize you are literally considered a princess in some universes cause you marry him right?”

“I’m what now?”

Amelia pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed deeply. She shook her head and let out a little chuckle, knowingly. She knows that Nikolai wasn’t ever one to let the world know about his trauma or accidentally let it slip about himself. He kept that tight lipped and only let a few things slip, depending on the conversation.

Mia, of course, knew what she needed to know and didn’t push her man into that level of talking about his past. She knew what she needed to know! She respected it and wasn’t going to poke the bear. Last time she tried to get him to talk about it, he threw a pillow at her face with a smirk.

“So kids?” Amelia asked with a smile, hoping to change the subject into something lighter. “Got any?”

Mia mumbled, “...with all the men you’ve been with, you probably got a few.”

“Hey!”

“Just saying!”

Aww I miss Amelia’s Matt Murdock flirty era 😂 me and @gcthvile had fun flirting with literally everyone. Good times, good times. @missstrawbs2001 had Rochelle and Liane be soooo different too hehe 😜

Feel free to reblog and post ur own versions of the game fic haha

One afternoon, Amelia put 7 months old Joshua on the floor and let him crawl around. She turn her back around for a minute and then he was gone! But the only thing she heard were giggles along with a voice from the dining hall, it was too early for lunch, as she grabbed her sword and entered.

To her surprise, she saw Michelle bouncing her son on her leg while eating a piece of ham. Amelia lowered her sword and squeaked, “Michelle?! What the-how the-?”

Michell looked unfazed and waved her piece of ham, “Hungry?”

Amelia blinked, “No! What are you doing here? Should you be at war or something?”

Michelle raise an eyebrow and giving Joshua a piece of ham to chew on, despite the baby not having any teeth yet, as she answered, “Am I? I don’t remember any war in my schedule—OHH right, Troy! Nahh, I can watch from afar, besides everyone knows i did not start that fight.”

Amelia blinked, “I know Helen and Paris started the war because of a love affair but still. Shouldn’t you be there in support?”

Michelle rolled her eyes, “My dear friend, someone needs to keep you company and protect you. And that person is me! Besides, I don’t trust these men…”

Amelia raise an eyebrow, “But aren’t you the goddess of war?! You’re literally pissed off every single week.”

Michelle grumbles, “Don’t start.”

Year 3-5 — 🍋

Joshua is 4 years old today, babbling out phrases and chowing on whatever his little teeth can dig into, unless it’s vegetables then he’s spitting it out. His curls were looking more like a golden brown, looking blonde in the sunlight, according to Nikolai’s mother who would oftentimes visit the palace. Amelia’s little boy was being treated like the prince he’s always been.

His eyes filled of wonder and a sense of humor, along with strength that reminded Amelia so much like his father. Amelia sighed, thinking about the weight and pressure of not having her husband home. Waking up some mornings without him were tough rolling over to not see Nikolai fast asleep beside her, but other times she would feel alright to start her day.

She figured that the war in Troy would end soon, she hoped.

At least she had Michelle who would stop by with a firey laugh and a couple of words to keep her spirits high. Even updating her on things have been, as Hermes—Cole—would accomplish a little more detail with messages from what he could overhear from the front lines.

“Dawling! Look who’s here, it’s me.” He’ll say giggling pulling out a scroll and reading it, “It’s from Nik. It says ‘Hello love, I apologize I can’t be there but, blah, blah I miss you and blah blah blah I hope you’re having a nice day. We’re planning on having a meeting this afternoon, my love’—man, he writes a lot.”

Amelia would snicker, rolling her eyes at Cole’s words. Other days, Amelia found Michelle enjoying her time in the dining hall, teaching Joshua little moves—more like Michelle will sing but deny it saying Apollo’s new stupid song is stuck in her head—as the boy will giggles and ask her questions.

Year 6-7 — 🍴

To say Amelia was still holding onto the ball was an absolute, ridiculous understatement. 7 year of war, waiting, meetings, waking up alone and tending to her world. There were weeks and even months where she would not see Michelle, as she went off to watch over the war, accompanying soldiers and making twists in the direction of the people.

Even joining Rochelle, her beloved lady of Wisdom, in the fight as they watched over Nikolai if they weren’t somewhere else. Meanwhile at home — sailors, vendors, royals, politicians would arrive at the island to speak to Amelia on matters, as she’ll hold up meetings with them.

Sometimes—if not, she’ll usually leave it up to the captain and councilman of the court to deal with it, then report back to her later.

Instead, Amelia would find herself reading in bed to her boy, Joshua. Eating lunch with him, watching him playing with their dog in the yard, and joining him in his studies as well. Sometimes she’d find Joshua writing away in scrolls and crafting sketches filled by ideas of him own.

One afternoon, she got the question she was dreading to answer.

“Mama..” Joshua started, midway through eating dinner.

Amelia was chewing on a piece of chicken as she answered, “Yes, baby?”

“Is father ever going to come back?”

Amelia froze—yes, her now almost 7 year old son would ask for stories about his dad, pondering how he’s like, and listen to messages Hermes would send—but that question hasn’t truly been raise yet.

She took a breath and swallowed the piece of chicken before answer, “Bug, I like to believe that he will. It’s just taking longer than expected.”

“Why? Auntie Michy says they just fight all week.” Joshua asked in confusion, referring to Michelle.

“Well, yes, they do. But it’s more than that, it’s a fight between love and hate…Papa is on the front lines of that battle helping to sort everything out.” She explained, “So it takes time.”

Joshua nods and sighed before mumbling, “Does Papa think about us? I don’t even remember him…”

Amelia cupped his cheek and rubbed his cheekbone with her thumb as she said, “Of course he does, baby. I’m pretty sure you’re father is wondering if you’re doing okay.”

—+—

Years 8-10 — 🏹

Rumors we’re flying over the borders of the war would someday, somehow come to an abrupt ending. But then again, they were rumors. Amelia likes to say how this felt like the homestretch of it all.

She was considerably older now and grimace at the thought of getting older with the side of the bed remaining empty. There were days where she’d awakened to the sound of birds and servants voices, realizing that she on Nikolai’s side of the bed instead of her own. She will never admit it, because it felt wrong to say it, but having a bed all to herself felt pretty good sometimes. She was used to it by now, despite the odd feeling of not having a proper pair of arms wrapped around her in the morning.

Things had their routine by now.

Wake up at a later hour, lying in bed for a bit before crawling out of the bedroom to greet her son and mother in law at the breakfast table. Reading, doing some simple chores—yes, they had servants in the palace but she liked putting her clothes away as well—actives such as darts, entering the garden and taking her time to get her hair done. At some stage in the week, she’ll have a few meetings, taking time to enter the town, participate in a small event of training and greetings folks at the docks.

Sadly, her mother in law, Nikolai’s mother, passed away one night, peacefully in her sleep. Amelia sighed and sniffled, wiping away young Joshua’s tears at his grandmother being gone.

However one afternoon, during year 10, changed things.

Amelia was in the throne room painting, it was a rather strange scene, quiet but pleasant among the chaos of it all. She heard the sound of boots clapping the floor and smiled to see Michelle playfully sitting in her throne, keeping a watchful eye on everything that Amelia didn’t see.

Suddenly the sounds of screams, chatter and the noise of sails came into view—as Amelia put her brush down and gazed out the window. Her eyes doubled in size, seeing the docking of ships slowly approaching the shore. It wasn’t uncommon to have visitors but still.

“Michelle. What’s going on?” Amelia asked, looking between the window and her goddess friend.

Michelle snapped her fingers in realization before saying, “Ah! I knew I needed to tell you something.”

Amelia gestured for her to continue, “Tell me what?”

“That the war ended yesterday afternoon. People are packing up their weapons and crewmen to come back soon.” Michelle explained then pause, “Why are you looking me like that?”

“Because you didn’t say a word.”

“Ohhh right. Well, now you know..”

Michelle stay quietly grumbling about the stupid fact Nikolai and the other soldiers hid in a wooden horse to get the job done. She rolled her eyes in anger and annoyances, knowing she would’ve went in slashing mortals with her sword instead.

Amelia grinned in hope then rushed off to tell Joshua, who was climbing a tree with a few children of servants, in the garden as guards stood by watching the sight. Amelia chuckled at the sight of her son climbing, screaming and laughing with other children his ages.

“Darling, can you come over here for a moment?” She called out, as her gaze followed him jumping down from the branches.

Joshua jumped down and slide over catching him breath, “Yeah, ma?”

Amelia the moment to tell him the news that she just heard, seeing the young boy’s eyes lit up in awe and excitement. He asked if his father was on one of those ships, ready to rush off to the docks to find him.

“Well I don’t know yet but Michelle is here and-”, Amelia started but was cut off rather quickly.

Joshua gasped, “Aunt Michy?!”

Without a second chance to continue her sentence, her son ran off inside to greet the goddess of war, also known as his aunt Michelle.

Amelia smiled to herself that week in anticipation for her husband’s return, only for her smile to slowly fade away as time progressed. It’s been 9 days and he’s still not home?!

“I’mma kill him..” She muttered once in the war room, by Sunday afternoon.

Michelle looked up from chatting with someone when she heard her. She smirked, “You’ll what?”

“What are they doing? Having a party with the people in Troy who didn’t try to kill ‘em?!” Amelia remarked clearly not happy.

Michelle snickered, “Maybe. I usually don’t get to see this side of you. I like it.”

Ahhh I added more! ☺️ Let me know what you think 💭

I’m interested in see what yall come up with hehehe 🎭

Side-note — Hmm I wonder where they could be? 🙄👀

Weeks went by without any results of any kind that could fit the charts. Then I started to feel like I wanted something more—I wanted someone could be there for me and make me smile on my darkest days, as I can do the same for him.

As we search, Petra thought of Alexander Of Sparta, but Melissa had her eyes on someone different.

I wanted someone smarter. Kinder! Then we searched his family tree, as my eyes caught onto the boy for me. A boy I would give the world to see…

Nikolai.

He made my heart beat faster than I swore it couldn’t do such a thing. He made my smile grew even more. He had a lightning in his darkest days, I couldn’t explain but it felt just right.

He made every face in our island blush, men and women alike, with his recognition and charm. Trouble. That was the word whisper across the room from the elderly woman who stood there watching.

It felt like a roar! A fighter with a heartbeat that held layers.

I swear, he was one of the few men I had a curiosity for. He’s what I saved my affection for. Oh! He was the most impressionable man I ever seen, witty enough to be.

But long before we had a true chance of peace, he wrote to me that he thinking the same thing.

We were wondering…

Where is she? Where is the women you’ll have as your bride?

Where is he? Where is the man you’ll have as your guide?

Where is the love with whom you’ll spend your life?

Cause in my darkness, my heart is my drive. Time is fleeting, it’s running out, time to be women of the house.

—

Queen Amelia tug on her hood as she took a deep breath, her sword behind her back as she walked towards the palace. Her palace. As she headed to grab the doors, she paused hearing voices as she glances around to see several ships docked afar.

‘The fu-? Is my man having a party of some kind? I mean it’s been more than 10 years, he can do whatever he wants but still.’ She thought.

But she kept her guard up, as she slide in between the palace walls only to find it to be completely torn down and sacked like Troy.

‘Oh hell nah!…pigs.’

She even saw the silhouette of her husband in his layered clothes, slightly longer hair and stronger built. He built a challenge for the people here as he left the room.

Behind him followed their dog, Arrow.

‘He’s replacing me?! Oh wait, I been gone for years. Nevermind..’

Whoever could string Mia’s bow…

But what caught her attention more were the words coming out of men and women too. Suitor and suitress.

‘They are gonna wh-? And then—ooh hell no! Nah nuh! Nope! Geh—not today!’

— — —

I went on to hide their weapons as they OUTWARDLY planned out their attacks against my man AND MY SON—closing the doors as i shuffled to the weapons room. That’s when I saw a certain white dog.

‘Oh shi..ahh!’ I thought as I was approached by the fluffy mutt.

I was sniffled, licked and nuzzled in the side by the dog. Mainly surprised he would still recognize me.

“Oh, oh, hey, baby. I missed you too.” I whispered, “Shh, Arrow.”

Arrow calmed down puffing his chest out in front of me and looked determined, yet faithful.

“Good boy. Where’s daddy?” I asked in a whisper.

And without a single second to spare, I got my answer. Like a shadow in the wind, I looked up to see him coming through the curtains from the other side of the room.

I lost my breath, my mouth went dry—

‘Ah shit! He’s looking at me! He’s looking at me! I’m not even freshened up, oh no, I probably smell like sea! And then—uhh why is he looking at me like that?! Gah—’

Before I knew, I was slammed onto my back facing the floor, seeing my husband on top of me. He had a dagger in his hand and the other locking me in.

“You think you can buy me into your arms so easily?! That you’ll have to take me down—” Nikolai exclaimed with a glare.

I looked at him with frantic eyes, my hood fell off and my hair fell onto his fingertips. I could hear the sounds of suitors screaming and laughing down the hallway.

“Baby, wait it’s me!” I shouted.

“As if that were truth, I had women claim—” He snarled but then paused noting the scar on my cheek, “Wait...Mia? Is it really you?”

“You else would think to come in here?”

“I…hi.”

“Hey..”

He removed himself from me, and stumbled back onto his feet tugging me off the floor with him. I could see the wav of emotion spiraling his eyes and body, as he picked up his infamous sword.

“We uh..we have a lot of explaining to do to each other..” I mumbled, reaching for my bow and arrow.

He chuckled dryly and hummed, “Yeah, no kidding…”

Then I saw the determination in his eyes.

“Listen. Here’s the plan, for they don’t suspect a thing, you’ll take the ones in here and I’ll take the ones who’s stupid enough to reach our halls.” Nikolai stated, with a firm expression.

“But..” I started. “You don’t have a question for how I..?”

“No buts. And believe me, I have questions. But first..”

Before I could say anything, his hand slipped underneath my chin and pressed a long awaited kiss onto my lips. I hummed returning the affection, as my hand came to rest on his chest.

“But first, I have plans to ravish my dear wife once this is over.” He mumbled between our lips, before pulling away to exit the floor.

That left me breathless…

-> CUT TO MOUNT OLYMPUS ✨

Liane sat down with her large mirrors on display watching the screen unfold as she squealed. She is holding her tissues in her hands and replying the scene.

“Oh my gosh! Finally some romance—wait why is he..? Oh right.’ She said.

Michelle walked in raising an eyebrow muttering, “What in gods are you—ooh! Gross, my human with Rochelle’s human again..eh they’re kinda cute.”

“Go away, i’m watching the show—oh my! Did she just..?”

“THATS MY GIRL! Shoot them in the back!”

That’s when Rochelle walked in, “What is all this yelling abou—Oh my goodness!”

“ISN’T IT WONDERFUL?!” Michelle yelled with a grin.

Okay I had way too much creating this! Let me know what you think

@missstrawbs2001 @gcthvile are mentioned as OC’s used!

Amelia’s smile was radiant as she took his flesh hand and pressed it against her belly, “He keeps kicking.”

“He?” Nikolai asked as his smirk grew, “I thought it was ordered for the medical droids to not spoil our surprise.”

She smiled softly, “Oh, I didn’t get this from the droids. It’s my…motherly intuitions?”

He chuckled when he felt a sudden kick against his palm before saying, “Mother intuition, huh? With a kick that hard? Definitely a girl.”

——

Amelia placed a hand on his cheek as she told him, "No, don't do this. This isn't you...all I want is your love and for you to come home."

But Nikolai is so far gone as he cups her face, "Love won't save you, darling."

Suddenly she stepped back slightly and began to furrow her eyebrows, "Excuse me?"

He added with a smile, "Only my new powers can do that. I won't lose you the way I lost my mother. I am becoming more powerful than any Jedi has ever dreamed of, and I'm doing it for you... to protect you."

Amelia shakes her head, "No, no. Baby, listen to yourself. Leave everything else behind while we still can!"

Nikolai smiles and shakes his head, "Don't you see? We don't have to run away anymore. I have brought peace to the Republic. I am more powerful than the Chancellor; I... I can overthrow him. And together, you and I can rule the galaxy... make things the way we want them to be!"

Amelia gasped and place a hand on her bump before saying, "I can't believe I'm hearing this! You're not yourself..you've changed, Ji-Hoon and Liane were right."

Nikolai sends her a glare, "Enough about our friends! This is about us!"

Amelia steps in front of him and waves a hand in front of him in a glare, "I don't know you anymore! Nikolai... you're breaking my heart! You're going down a path I can't follow!"

Nikolai pushes her finger away and grabs her hand as he says, "But you can! You always dreamed of powers, you said it yourself plenty of times before!..we can do this together, imagine our child, living the life we always dreamed of..you and me, together, for all the stars above to see!"

Amelia sucks in a breath as her eyes water before saying, "Baby, you don't know how much I want to say yes.."

Nikolai furrow his eyebrow and step forward, "And what's stopping you? Is it Ji-Hoon and Liane?"

Amelia shakes her head, "I don't want to rule in darkness..come back please.”

For a brief moment he snaps out of it.

Nikolai can see the heartbreak in her eyes and sighed cupping her cheek, "Let me do this one task and I'll come back to you, darling.."

Amelia's sniffles and whispered, "But I'm losing you…”"

Nikolai shakes her head, wiping away her tears before saying, "I can do this.."

Suddenly Nikolai looks past Amelia to see Ji-Hoon standing in the ship as he glares, "What are you doing here? You idiot! You brought her here?!"

Amelia looks over her shoulder and gasps, "No! No! I didn't..he must've snuck aboard the ship."

Nikolai protectively steps in front of Amelia, a hand hovering over her frame and blocking Ji-Hoon from getting anywhere near her.

He pointed a finger and glared, "Whatever you think you're doing, don't try it!"

Ji-Hoon steps out of the ship, "I haven't even started. Now, if you're smart enough, you'll let her ago and we can settle this…you’re just lucky I didn’t bring the others.”

Nikolai looked down at his wife and whispered, "You brought him here, didn't you?"

Amelia shook her head rapidly and placed a hand on his shoulder, "No, no! I didn't."

Nikolai narrow his eyes, "I want to believe you.."

Ji-Hoon rolls his eyes, "Let her go, Nikolai! She has nothing to do with this."

~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~

Hehe that’s where I got so far as I brainstorm. I did make a crack 🤪 one where Darth Vader!Nikolai met his Jedi!daughter Margot after 5 years of being away from his wifey in my head 😌📺

Sooo let me know what you think about this world? And yes @purpleprincessonfyre is a Duchess/Princess and @calmbeforezero is a Jedi Master!! OH I think Michelle and Rochelle would be Jedi Knights as well?? 🤔

“How cute. Didn’t think of inviting your brother to the wedding?” Yelled the dark prince of crime.

Charming held his wife closed and pointed his sword as he spat, “Get out!”

“Relax, brother. I’m here to offer you a gift for your precious little wedding and you’ll like it.”

“I don’t want it! Get out, Alexander. Your not king anyone, only a mere prince.”

“Oh hush, you never let me finish. Here’s my gift, this whole day will be a peaceful one, I’ll even give you the week. But starting Sunday at the tip of midnight, I will destroy your happiness, if it’s the last thing I do.”

Charming ordered the guards to get up and lock the castle, as he threw shadow sword straight at his brother, in a cloud of smoke older man disappeared. But he left with a cut on his right arm as the shallow sword dropped.

———

Weeks—months past as Charming and Snow, also known as Nicholas and Amara when on the run, have gotten that news with their friends and found family. As they tried to all search for the prince, regroup and find a way to stop whatever cursed plan that is coming their way.

Nikolai was searching one night, stressing about it in the king’s office of their castle as he spoke with Marlene and Melissa about it. Princess Liane, sat down trying to figure out how it can play out.

His wife stole him for a moment, telling everyone else to rest as she stood in the castle’s kitchen making him a sandwich as he sat down listening to her words. He adored that she was always supportive and there to ease his emotions with a couple of smoothing words, even when he felt he had the entire weight of world on his shoulder.

She placed the sandwich on the table telling him to eat as she listened to his worries and rubbed his shoulders, pressing a kiss to his cheek.

“My heart, you’re in need to sleep and regroup later. You’ve been practicing your sword fighting all week and if not, you’re scouting with Marlene..” She said with a sigh, “He’s just trying to get into your head.”

“He’s not. He once held me captive in his chambers underneath the castle because he thought I was a better sword man than him. Poison me with a stupid apple and gave you a sleeping a curse..” He replied taking a bite out of the sandwich humming.

“If he hasn’t inactive since the wedding, he won’t be now. He’s petty and narrating a path that will lead him to more hate towards you. He wants to get in your head and not feel worthy of your title.”

“Am i worthy of this?”

“You married a farm girl, who was thrust into a world of royalty. You showed me and others kindness despite all you faced, so yes. Your worthy. And our child will see that to be true.”

He pressed a hand to her belly and rubbed small circles at catch their little prince or princess attention. He whispered a few sweet nothings to her belly and smiled getting a small kick in return.

Then he thought of something and smirked, “Your child. I want to ensure their safety if it’s the last thing I do..and will have to ask Cassandra to do so.”

She gave him a confused look with slight fear, “I-is that asking of too much? What if she says something that isn’t true?”

“It will be. We can resting knowing they will be alright, protecting them from my brother and his dark plans will be worth it. She can see the future!”

“If she says I’m twins I’m gonna be freak out.”

With that he laughed and pressed a kiss to her cheek. He always planned on day having at least 3 children with her, especially knowing that she will be an amazing mother.

Within 48, Cassandra they arrived at the castle after guarding her flowers and spells to tell them all the truth behind the plans. Her eyes turned white and held up a finger with a odd look on her face.

She sat at the round table and spoke softly, “..The dark prince is casting a curse to spend us all to a land without magic, helpful dreams will never arrive. It will take over as much land as possible. He is teaming up with..the prince of mischief and Shaw to help with his spell.”

Those words caught Erik and Charles attention, as they sat the round table with their children Cole, Meira and Ethan. Erik grunted and looked at his husband who sighed already thinking of what can be done to protect their young.

Liane sighed looking at Ethan and then Nikolai, as she heard Cassandra speak softly what she can see. 3 villains all in one go, but the main one was Alexander who caused the grand curse as to destroy everyone at play. She wanted to protect her soon niece or nephew from all of this just as much as the parents did, hell she wanted to protect her found family along with herself. Alongside her crush, that was Ethan.

Cassandra opened her eyes as if her flashes were over as she said, “I didn’t see much but we all don’t survive this smoking dark curse. But we can save ourselves once it’s hit.”

Nikolai groaned pinching the bridge of his nose as he shared a look with Cole, and asked, “How? My child is a stake here, Cass! My brother will be..”

“Relax! We can send a few into the curse with knowledge of it all.”

“I’m not risking that. Erik come on, our friends likes are at stake and we only half will know.”

Erik sighed and grunted, “You think I like this? I don’t. But if we can go with Cassandra’s plan find a safe spot and do a few thing, it will work.”

Cole scoffed, “Yeah, sure dad, with what?”

“The Enchanted Forest is filled with trees of all kind, if we crave one with elements of magical escape, we can send all of that.”

Liane asked, “You can’t be serious. What? Are we gonna make a wardrobe out of a tree?”

“She’s onto something. Yes that can work! Melissa can help carve it.” Ethan added as Meira nodding knowing where to find such tree.

Cole and her disappeared in a cloud of smoke with Erik to go search for it with a second to spear. Amelia was quiet the entire meeting, rubbing her husband arm as she leaned into her chair. Liane noticed wondering what exactly she is thinking as she noticing her friend look at her husband with worry. Melissa share a look with the other girls.

“Mia relax. It’s gonna be fine..” Liane spoke, fixing her tiara with a smile, “I heard stress is bad for the baby.”

She sighed, “I have not given up hope..but who will go through the wardrobe is my worry..”

“Depends on the magic it can hold. My heard my father say it sometimes take up to 3 people or more..”

Nikolai looked down at his wife and kissed her cheek, “I got everything under control. And if we can’t find one, we will still find each other.”

“And your brother? Honey, you got bags under your eyes..we all do.” She asked with so much concern for him and their friends.

“If he shows up, I’ll let him know that he will have to wish he never enacted the curse in the first place.”

“Cole will try to kill him along with you…”

————

3 trees were found, as Melissa and Cole’s husband Jeremy carved it in the at the man’s workshop. Jeremy was a pirate first, builder second as he grinned.

The idea that wardrobe might protect memories and because children are most likely to believe in fairytales, they will remember once the reach the land. The adults might not remember every single thing, or so they think.

Rick, Roch and Luna planned on bringing their kids into one.

Bruce and Natasha suggest it would be for the best. Everyone single of them had their own plans and businesses to take care of that they kept a secret from each other.

Cole being the wiser one of the crew, knew if he didn’t make it into any wardrobe he would remember and know everything, by hearing the sound of any one of the kids names he will snap out of the trance and enact his murder to Alexander. He may not like Nikolai too much but Amelia was like a sister to him.

Beside that, Cole and Alexander had their own problems together in the past before he even knew that he was Nikolai’s older brother.

Suddenly the curse hit as cloud of smoke started to wash over the land as the crew started to fight for their lives, bringing any children to safety to the crafted wardrobes. At one of the castles, knights were coming as Erik was fighting them off with Ethan as he out of his own reasons, pushed his son into one of wardrobes closing it knocking him out cold.

Let’s just say Ethan arrived to the real world due to being knocked out cold without as many memories of his past near the woods of a city. It was rather fuzzy for him but he was fine, going on his merry way. Creating a bit of trouble that will come to bit in him the ass later on, in the future being a daughter named Belladonna.

The kids however arrived at the real world as well but somewhere else as the curse it them, waking up in their beds within a town. Where their parents there with them of course, but given cursed memories of not being fairytale characters.

———

Meanwhile in the Enchanted Forest, as the curse was slowly washing over the woods into the rest of the land, Amelia was panicking a bit more than she thought she would. Not as much as Nikolai, who was preparing himself for a possible war with Cole, if any arm came to anyone in the castle.

Amelia placed a hand over the belly, looking at the small bassinet nearby that was meant to their son. She looked over at her husband, not feeling like a princess but a little farm girl in worry as she said, “I’m ready to leave you..”

Nikolai placed his sword on the table and cupped her face, “You won’t be alone, my brother will pay for this.”

She sighed, “I know he will. But Cass and Cole predicted we will see everyone again on his 18 birthday..the closest thing is 16th. He will need his father.”

“And he will, tell him tales about me. How I slayed a dragon on my first try or how I became my time sailing a ship with Captain Hook.”

“You are so confident in this whole thing aren’t you?”

“I have courage and compassion, I learned that from you. Mainly, i have my wit, my charm and my powers..”

He about to say something else when he sensed a pressure in the air, then sudden his wife gripped his hand tightly muttering that they had bigger things to deal with it.

They were about to have a small surprise.

A few short moments later, Amelia was on the bed screaming in pain and cursing out how she can’t have the baby now. Nikolai held her hand trying to hush his wife’s worries, yelling for the doctor to do something.

The whole castle was abuzz with chaos. Liane fighting against the evil guards outside, Marlene flying about trying to give her wife time with any additional stuff to the wardrobe. Cole was on the rooftop of the castle with a murderous glare as Alexander and his curse reached closer than ever, trying any protective shield.

That was when Jeremy raced into the bedroom, with sword in hand telling Nikolai that the final wardrobe was ready, about to help get his friends to the nursery. Nikolai about to carry his wife and move her out to the wardrobe when the doctor told him to not take any chances, as their son was about to be born now.

Alexander reached to castle with his guards surrounding the place on the rooftop fighting Cole as Nikolai’s chuckled softly at his son being born and placed into his wife’s arms.

The curse is here, they basically failed. He was leaning towards the two pressing a gentle hand on his head hushing his cries as Amelia smiled with tears in her eyes humming a tone.

He was so small yet so beautiful, wiggling and whispering a little as his cries calmed down.

“Hey Joshua..our little love..” Amelia whispered smiling.

Nikolai used the back of his finger rubbing his child’s cheek and smiled, “..welcome to world, you couldn’t wait a few more hours could you sweetheart?”

“We failed..that’s okay..”

“But at least we’re together.”

Amelia paused for a moment and sighed wishing her husband’s strong wit and clever beliefs didn’t rub off on her but it did. She looked at him and said, “Go fight your brother..”

“What?” Nikolai said, holding his son in arms now fixing his baby blanket to keep him warm.

“..take him to the wardrobe with Jeremy and go help Cole..”

“No. Darling, no I can’t leave you like this right now. And not our son!“

“You said it yourself! We need to have courage and believe we will be okay, he will come back to us. It’s a risk, I know…”

“But we have to take it. We have to give him his best chance no matter what it takes. I hate it when I’m right.”

She pressed a kiss to her son’s forehead, telling Joshua to be a trooper for his daddy as Nikolai smiled softly hearing her, kissed his wife quickly grabbing his sword and rushed out. He joined Jeremy in the hallway who was fighting his brother’s knights and raced down the hall, defeating them to fight more keeping Joshua relaxed in his arms.

Jeremy lead the way to the nursery, as he rushed off to kill some guards that were coming to Amelia’s room to find Melissa trying to wake their friend up but she was knocked out cold.

Nikolai raced into the nursery, stabbing a knight and dropped his sword to create a shadow to knock a few other guardsmen out cold, hell he made sure they were dead.

With a flick of his wrist, he flung open the wardrobe’s doors and placed his son inside safety pressing a kiss to his forehead telling him to have courage and find them soon as he closed the doors.

Just as he did, in a cloud of green and black smoke appeared Alexander and Cole neck and neck trying to kill one another. Nikolai stood up with a shadowy smile and glared blasting his brother to a wall, as Cole pinned the man to the wall shouting at him.

Two verse one, as the 3 of them fought and as the smoking clouds from the curse becoming a storm, that rip off the top of the ceiling as Nikolai gasped pinning his brother to the ground holding up a shadow in his a hand.

Cole was behind him, trying to block the storm and yelled, “Where are we going?”

“Somewhere horrible.” Alexander said smiling with a glare.

“No shit dipshit.”

“In a few moments you won’t remember you were fighting me.”

“Very specific.”

Nikolai with a last minute stitch to leave a mark, pulling his sword in front of him and cut his brother in the same place he did months ago during his wedding day. A way for his brother to remember, that matter what happens he will never fully destroy his spirt. Alexander shouted in pain and pushed his brother away, causing him to storm back then attack Cole with a blast.

That was when cloudy spoke louder, engulfed the whole castle sending everyone to a town called Fighter-town, Maine.

Fun fact! 🖋 Josh Dallas who plays Prince Charming in Once Upon A Time, played Fandral in Thor (2011)

~~~~

As Charming prepared for battle that morning come, his mind raced with millions thoughts of a millisecond ranging from blaming himself for losing her to the fire that boil at that mere thought of her suffering by King Midas men.

His sword in hand burned at how tight his grip was held, placing it into it’s rightful spot by his side. He sniffled glaring remembering the arguments held with Michelle and Hook at how he should go in with back up. He didn’t want to put any more people in danger than he already had, he couldn’t live with himself if Cole or Queen Caroline lost their loved ones because of him.

However he did proclaim if he needed an additional crew member, they would know. His turned around and swiftly left his small home within the woods, riding his horse racing towards the castle sneaking past the guards and stabbing a few knights to do so. A part of him felt like it was too easy this time, his chest tighten racing towards the cells to find Snow.

He only found pieces of fabric from her wedding dress within the cell as he gasp, feeling his heart sadness then release allowing him to breath. He sighed releasing she wasn’t here but her dresses fabric felt thicken than the material he grabbed earlier, a laced coat dust particles that belonged to the a certain type of magic.

His brother’s magic.

He groaned, realizing he had something to do with this. He looked over his shoulder to see incoming guards, swiftly masking a turn escaping Midas castle and returning to the woods gripping onto the frabic of the dress halting for his horse, Maximus, to stop and rest. He climbed down for the horse and kneeled wiping his finger across the fabric of the dress as the black particles rises onto his fingers and into the air.

Charming wasn’t one to use his own magic anymore as he used to, crafting a shadow sword as a replacement as the blade can cut, disappear and reappear to his wish.

But for the circumstances of this mission, he must, with a twist of his wrist a cloud of black appeared from the magic remains of his brother revealing an image to him being a glimpse of his women on the ground of the very dungeon he was trapped in all those years ago as his brother smirked over her.

But the thing was, he knew his brother would not keep her there for long and move Snow somewhere else out of his reach and into the forest. He was smart enough to figure out that his sword to led him to harm his brother as a reward for his crimes, knowing he will find Snow but his brother would want something in return.

“Hello!”

He didn’t flinch once, knowing that voice just as well, turning around he grimaced pinching the bridge of his nose to face Cole. Last he saw of him was on Jeremy’s ship, as Hook gave him the wonderful blue crested ring as promise for their love. Cole stood on a log with a leg crossed over the other with a grinned dress in black as always, but this time with a dark brown coat and the one of many rings on his finger waving.

“What is it that you want?” He asked, titled his head with a old look, couldn’t help but return the grin and rolled his eyes, “I’m kinda busy here.”

Cole grinned and nodded, deciding whether or not to hop off the log as he said, “Oh I know. Busy, busy, busy man! And you don’t have much time to waste.”

“And I am guessing you’re here to help me.”

“Well, you are friends with my favorite Captain and you did help him get my gorgeous new jew, so I believe it’s only fair.”

“What’s your price?”

“Sneak into your brother’s vault and get me a lovely old item that he stole from me.”

“What item?”

“A crested item, a crystal ball that I want to shape into a saber for my collection. The saber allows me to look beyond realms and within this land using blood magic to track it.”

“Who are you tracking?’
“My brother, he left Wonderland not to long along in search of a witchy dragon to slay and he has been blocked out his net for me to find him. God knows my brother isn’t the brightest in the land and as promised, I need to make sure he’s not dead.”

Nicholas nodded knowing Cole isn’t one for plenty of details depending on the person and knows he has beef with his brother beyond his knowledge so he won’t ever question why or what happened between them. But he did question one thing.

“Why are you helping me? Aside from the Hook part.” Charming asked, lifting his sword into place.

Cole just grinned, “Because! You and I both want the same thing, for good things to happen. True love and blah blah blah to win.”

“Hmm.”

“And your princess has grown on me.”

“Snow is..?”

“Yes, yes, yes! Do you want my help or not?”

“I do.”

Within a matter of moments, Charming was given a old tiny hyper crystal that would glow a sharp red when he’s within range of the ball. Cole gave him a light start, pausing the clock then restarting it once Charming reached his old castle.

A shiver went up his spine at returning to the very place he lost his partner and his family turned upside down, there were vines growing up and around the collapsible groups, the carousel he used to play in was damaged to stone and as he entered across the back of the palace where he once used to sneak out of to explore the woods on the backs of horses, the colors that used to bleed with one another..we were sucked out of any brightest light left. The walls used to be a golden brown, turned seemed to be a dull brownish grey, the flowers that belonged to his mother went from daisies to fallen roses.

~~~~

As he went down the steps to the vaults, slaying away guards within the shadows muffling his shouts with a blade to their necks and others knocking out the knights who tried to capture him. However, two came his way dressed in black masks and leather from head to toe, just as he thought they were gonna murder him one twist their sword and the one follow behind him as the other knock a knight out cold.

He knew this place a little too well, so he knew she wasn’t in the dungeons or any an cell within the castle, she must’ve been moved by now. His brother wasn’t gonna make it that easy for him, just yet. It was all a test of some kind.

Charming lifting his sword ready to knock both of skrulls together when the two knights flipped the face guards to reveal his two friends. Jeremy and Michelle smirked having figured it was only fair to help out with the knights meanwhile Charming collected the item for Cole, Nicholas was about to remark them for being so foolish for coming here but he just winked instead thankful for his friends. He rushed off and into the vault, pulling out the tiny crystal waiting waving it around as he searched for the ball in question.

His footsteps creaked as his flinched around swiftly turning his sword instead the person behind him, the blade fell above his older brother’s cheekbone giving him a mere cut. Alexander hissed then scoffed as he rolled his eyes with his hands behind his back, a part of him was impressed at his quick moves but still pathetic as always as he moved away from the blade.

“Cute.” Alexander remarked in a monotone, using two fingers to pushed the sword downstairs, “Yet, never as good as good me. And I thought with the months—ah no, years away you’ll get better. Guess me not.”

“Pardon me for not perfecting my craft, I was too busy trying to get away from you.” Charming muttered with a glare.

“And yet, you come back rushing to the place where it all began?”

“You took something from me.”

Alexander scoffed and playfully gagged walking around, “And did I take from you this time? You’re pride? You’re little toy? Father’s favorite pendent? I wouldn’t have done if it were to listen to good little brat you were and not disrupt me every day.”

“I was young, I didn’t know any better. I grew to understand you never liked me because in your eyes I was always our parents favorite meanwhile you weren’t. If you nicer, it couldn’t been different!” Charming added, as his flickering to the tiny crystal in hand.

“It wasn’t! You were born and took away everything from me. And every time I tried to have you behave, you would act to embarrass me.”

“No wonder why you’re heart is so dark..now like I was saying, I want my things back.”

Nicholas has grown to understand that his older brother was just selfish, mean and cruel only caring about himself in hope to lighten the mere sight of his true feelings. He knew his brother was alone and always will be, as a child he tried to befriend him plenty of times, show him a picture of kindness but he always in response got the cold shoulder.

He stopped trying to save him at this point, the only person who can make that change was himself, not him. They had to make the decision to do that themselves and overturn that choice.

Alexander noticed he was in his vault searching for something wasn’t labeled his and used a shadow to pushed Charming to to his face as he snarled with a smirk. His younger brother will never learn, to disobey, you get hurt in the process. He knew he was here for his preisous little princess, thanks to King Shaw’s tip before his exile, but he was here for cruel stolen item. Not his item but someone else’s he assumed.

Charming and Alexander were in a position to fight within the vault, as darkness filled the room to the Dark Prince’s command.

Charming closed his eyes wilding his sword, it guided him opposing member turning around to feel Alexander behind him popping and out of the shadows summing a sword at his will to fight his brother. The two of them were at it, not like princes, but training knights ready for battle.

Alexander even used one hand to his blade of swords growing bigger with the commsuing darkness above them, mocking his younger brother and yelled, “Tell me when your tired of missing, brother.”

Charming glared and growling twirling his sword summing his shadows at combat, hoping off treasure chests within the vault yelling, “I only have to hit you once.”

The fight went on for a while, neck and neck, things flying across the room, remarks being thrown to one another and be siblings were even tossed across the floor. In the mist of the fight that led them into a hallway, Charming noticed the tiny crystal bringing a low glow as he smirked. It wasn’t in the vault but in another room. With his confidence returning, just as Alexander was about to tower over him and tossing him out a window, he disappeared within a shadow and used another one to kicked him into a separate place within the castle. The Dark Prince was thrown away into the depth of his castle the dungeons knocked out cold.

~~~~

Nicholas run down the hall into the room thinking he found to find said room, following the crystal as it grew in color only for his grin to drop. “Oh come on!” He muttered, due to the moment he enter the room he was found within the chambers was the crystal ball, yes, but what he didn’t expect who guarding it.

Once this is all resolved he is gonna need a strong drink…

“My brother doesn’t need a beast to guard his items, when he already is one himself..” Nicholas said to himself, readying his sword, “At least it’s not the trolls again.”

But to his surprise, just as he moved forward to silently attack the dragon, it didn’t appear as fearful but more like calm. Tired even. It whimper, opening their eyes to showcase purple orbs with pools of tears within. It let out a soft growl that grew as he carried himself over to the said beast. Their leg was chained up to a wall that made them look smaller.

The dragon snarls and whimpered some more, showcasing themselves to be larger than life but they—she wasn’t. His eyes widen, seeing she was missing her—Nicholas has slayed dragons before in one go but this was different, she didn’t want to fight him.

He wasn’t gonna fight another if they weren’t going to themselves, he was in the very castle his parents build him in. If his mother was here, she would be hurt to see him do such as thing. Nor did he think himself as a killer either. He never was a murder.

He rushed over using his blade to cut though the chain releasing the dragon as she transformed from dragon into human. Her horns were still there but they were surrounded by long blonde curls, her dragon like scales were now a dark purple long dress, she held a cape close to her body and her paws were a black almost a deep purple slippers.

“Are you alright, miss?” He asked, helping her stand with one hand and the other still grip his shadow sword.

She hesitated but took his hand as she nodded, “I-I think so..”

“What did my brother did to you?”

“It’s a long story..I’m sorry, did you say brother?”

“Heh, yeah, long story..I apologize for almost hurting you.”

“It’s alright..I’m okay, just uh why didn’t you?”

“I couldn’t. You were a prisoner here, not a helper of his. I’m Prince Nicholas..”

“Liane..t-thank you. You can uh, take your thing..”

Nicholas took the item on the table and stuffed it into his satchel, looking over his shoulder he noticed that he couldn’t escape the same way he came. He glanced over at the stain glass windows of the very room as chaotic yet delicate smirk appeared on his lips.

Liane asked, “Uh, what exactly are you g-?”

But she didn’t get a second to finished her sentence, as she grip tightly around his neck as he held onto her waist telling her to brace for impacted. All from Liane could be heard was a sequence of ‘Oh my god!’ repeated over and over again, as Nicholas launched them from the ground flooring through the glass window shatter around them as the two right into landed in the ocean waves surrounding the castle.

The two clawed onto the shore near the woods, Nicholas helped Liane up asking if she’s doing alright as she yelled if he was crazy or just plain dumb. The prince just shrugged and snorted a smile.

“W-we could have died!” Liane whisper yelled, sighing at how soaking wet her dress was.

“But we’re safe and sound from him!” Nicholas replied with smile still on his face.

“We jumped into the water we could hav..”

“We survived that’s what matters.”

“Huh? Wait, no your right. You didn’t plan that, did you?”

“Nope. Call it pure luck and last time I checked my brother won’t after us a while.”

Liane broke into a small smile and thanked him once again for helping her back there saying she can now return home safely, hoping he found her princess. Nicholas smiled telling her to keep hope alive and her prince might have to save her soon enough. The two paired aways afterward.

~~~~

He arrived still soaking wet to the place where Cole requested to met him. At docks near the huge pirate ships, and as always he found him curled up against a few barrels on the ground comfortably with his man. Nicholas couldn’t help but smile at the two, the way his friend returned from the castle before him with grinned at his dinner.

Jeremy was grinning and laughing trying to hush Cole who was playing with his short blonde hair telling a joke stealing a piece of chicken from his plate.

“Who made this?” Cole said chew the chicken with a snarky smirk.

“Mr. Smee did it.” He replied taking a bite of the bread being presented on the plate.

“Tell the chief he desires a raise!”

“Don’t push my crew, babe. They hear that and they would all want one.”

“Ah pishy caca, love.”

“No he’s right.” Said a voice.

Both men looked up to find Nicholas soaking wet holding up the promised crystal ball but no princess, yet. Jeremy snorted seeing his friend’s face as Cole bit back some laughter of his own, eating some more chicken for himself.

He stole a kiss from his man before standing up taking the crystal ball from Nicholas’s hand nodding with appreciation for the task being complete. Jeremy kept snorting explains that Michelle returned home safe and sound as Nicholas sent him a playful glare.

“I’m guessing your lady is miles away from the castle too? I didn’t see her in there.” Jeremy exclaimed after coming down from his effective snorting.

“Nope. He is hiding her somewhere else and I won’t rest until I find her.”

“Aw my boys in love!”

“Shut up. It’s a test to see how hard am I willing to work for this.”

“I say you worked hard enough. Babe, help him!”

Cole sassed him with a smirked, “I’m getting to it! But i need that.”

Nicholas heart pinged again as over his chest lay his gifted chain and asked, “My chain from Snow?”

“Mhmm that lovely little gift from her mother, that now belongs to you will guide you to her.”

“A location spell? Smart.”

“I know I’m genius.”

Jeremy slapped his arm playfully and chuckled watching Nicholas pass the chain over to him. He asked why his heart felt like it was bruised during the beginning of this mission, Cole was doing the locator spell on the chain as he explained how the heart feels like it’s lost when a loved ones is gone.

Cole knew that well after his father Erik and stepfather Charles broken up years ago when he was a child before getting back together, it felt like their bodies were sometimes in pain because they were apart for so long.

True Love, as he called it. A connection between two people whether they believed it or not, as opposite a pairing may seem, if they are somehow meant to be, fate has its ways to pulling them together.

Once Cole was done, he smiled saying depending on the next favor was, Nicholas might own him by collecting whatever another item was. He rolled his eyes and chuckled lightly telling Jeremy to keep his man under control as the pirate captain just winked in return.

Before Nicholas could go, Cole yelled, “Ah! Wait a minute stupid. You’re gonna find your girl dressed like you went swimming with the fishes?”

With a flick of his wrist Nicholas was dried up with his hair freshly swept back, a white collared shirt with a long elegant leather coat, dark brown pants and boots that fit him perfectly. For added measure, Cole added a nicely tailored hat that seemly fitting his more pirate side. It made him look rather dashing and distinguished from the other men in the crowd.

“Much better.” Cole added as he looked over at his shoulder to see the sun almost laying down to rest and huffed, “Go before your time runs out!”

He thanked both of them before swinging onto his horse riding Maximus across the docks into the woods allowing the chain with the small hoop to guide him through the forest. He could see the sun going down as he approached Max to hurry in which the horse speed riding like the wind.

“Woah boy! What did I feed you today?!” He muttered jokingly.

Max followed his direction going past the trees in vintage and entryway into the lower ends of the valley sliding into the ground path of the woods. His hat almost flew off completely a couple of times messing around his hair a bit. The chain kept glowing brighter and brighter than ever before as they moved through the forest reaching the edge of the plantation then began to slow down as they landed int the exact spot she was placed in.

Nicholas hoped off his horse, patting his head with a soft smile pacing himself over to find a bed in the middle of the woods surrounded by dwarfs. He heard stories around him being great hard working men, he looked over to see it was Snow asleep. Her skin looked paler, her were a blushing pink instead of their usual light red color and her body looked cold despite being dressed in long sleeves.

One of the Dwarfs, Grumpy gave him a once over and raised an eyebrow before noticing that he held a chain similar to the jewelry Snow was wearing.

He gave him a small smile and said, “You better do something or sister is gone forever. At least say goodbye.”

Nicholas smiled softly and walked across placing his hand over Snow’s very own as he leaned over to capture her lips against his. He muttered a small glimpse of hope that she’ll wake up as his heart started to settle into a nice flow. As he did, a small wave that would’ve felt like blast pushed through them and across the landscape of the woods. He pulled away to be met with the sound of gasping coming from the woman he loved dearly.

She opened her eyes as color started to return to her cheeks and looked over to see who woke her up, her lips slowly growing into a smile. Her voice was a little horse as she said, “Y-you found me..”

He smiled softly in return blinked as tears slowly appeared thanking the heavens it worked as he nodded placed a hand on his across her face. He replied, “Did you ever doubt I would?”

“The sleep gave me a pause..truly, I was afraid you wouldn’t come..”

“I came, it took me a while but I made it. I will always find you.”

She smiled chuckling, as he helped her stand up from the bed thanking the Dwarfs for watching over her. Grumpy just winked saying that him and his brother are here to help the good guys just say the word as the prince chuckled in return respecting them.

~~~~

Snow and Charming walked alongside each other letting Max relax from carrying the weight of things all day, especially after his thick run across the land. Nicholas finally took a breath getting his girl back and foremost by the end of day, wrapping an arm around her shoulder rested his head on top of hers. Snow hummed at his touch as she wrapped both around his middle playing with the layer hair at the back of neck that flipped up, instead of flipping downward.

“Hey no touchy!” He joked nuzzling his head against hers.

“You ruined your hair earlier.” She hummed in response giggling.

“Uh excuse you? I’ll have you know i was racing against time, m’lady! You try running across the woods and trying to look perfect while doing it. It ain’t easy, I’ll tell you that much!”

“Okay, okay you win! Whatever you say, princey. I do have two questions for you.”

“Which are?”

“How did you get here so fast?”

“I had help from Cole. I went on a few trials to get him an item but then he came through with a location spell.”

“Location spell?”

He nodded pulling out the chain that relaxed its glow having done its job eariler, as he explained it led him right to her. She giggled seeing how her mother’s jewelry saved them after all.

Nicholas joked as he moved away for a moment, “You know I’ll have to meet your mother after this to thank her.”

“Thank her? For that little thing?” She asked with a teasing tone.

“Yes ma’am. You’re mama will be having a son in law real soon.”

“She’ll have a field day, never wanting us to leave hearing—wait, did you say son in law?”

She didn’t have a moment to finish her sentence as he grinned widely enough removing the hoop off the chain. She was about to joke about something than decide to let him figure it out himself.

He tried to kneeled down properly but the pants Cole gave him were a little too tight, for his liking and he usually doesn’t mind tight fitted leather as he decided to stand instead.

The noise and incoming jokes he made resulted in Snow to laugh looking away snorting as he told her to be quiet he was trying to be romantic here.

“Shut up, you’re ruining my moment!” He remarked breaking into laughter himself biting his bottom lip.

“Your moment?” She exclaimed softly giggling trying to stop herself from falling into more laughter.

“You done?”

“Mhm hmm.”

“Good. As i was trying to say, Amara Snow, will you marry me?”

She made a face as if she’s thinking about her answer and playfully said, “Hmm i don’t know.”

His face playfully dropped giving her a look that said ‘seriously women?’ As he smirked and added, “May I also remind you that I jumped into a freezing cold ocean today? I think my butt cheeks were chattering on my way to the docks.”

“You jumped into the ocean?”

“Yes ma’am, but it was for a stupidly good reason.”

“In that case, yes.”

“A ‘yes’ as in you’ll marry me or ‘yes’ as in you will give me well deserved massage after risking ass today?”

“Yes to both!”

“Good answer.”

“Shut up.”

She rolled her eyes chuckling realizing she got work to do tonight after his glorious save as he ran the hoop nicely onto her finger then bringing a couple of kiss onto her face. She pressed a few of kisses wanting to hear all about his day and where they were heading next.

But before Snow can say another word, he lift her into his arms as she wrapped her arms sound his neck as Nicholas requested he take them to their home within the forest where he would tell her everything that happened. He leaned forward to press another small yet warm kiss onto her face as she closed the space between them with a smile asking for him to lead the way.

The two made their way to the small house within their own hundred acres woods, finally after all the hassle back in each other’s arm once and for good. Nicholas released Max to go to stretch his legs and rest before dinner, as he followed Snow up the steps to find a note stuck on the door.

She plucked it gently off the door and opened it to read an invitation for Princess Michelle’s ball in 3 weeks, due time to prepare for the festival of riches, everyone in the land was to be invited.

Nicholas smirked, “Three nights, free drinks and food to die for.”

“I guess we’re going to a ball.” She replied returning the smirk.

The two chuckled and entered their home, locking the door behind them as they lit the fireplace to flop onto the couch in glee. Nicholas sat on the couch as dinner was being cooked on the stove as Snow sat behind him to rub whatever knots that landed in between his shoulders blades. To say he was satisfied was an understatement.

He hummed and softly grinned, “If this is the treatment I get, I should risk my ass more often.”

“Shut up, charming.” She replied jokingly holing back her giggled.

He looked over his shoulder for a split second and smirked saying, “Hush, you’ll ruin the moment.”

“I can’t with you sometimes.” She added rolled her eyes returning the same smirk.

The future spouses stayed cuddling in the comfort of the living room til dawn, for as long as they were together all was fine in the world.

Nikolai is a musician and entrepreneur 🎸 (currently traveling the world for his latest international installment after a fight with his brother)

Rick is a baker 👨‍🍳 (a very skilled chef and taste expert, judging people on their cooking levels)

Ethan and Rick are old friends (having stayed in touch over the years and reunited after so long!) 🫂

Rick, Ethan and Nikolai used to be a trio of best friends but things happened as they moved on with their lives 😉

And the list goes on etc!
