For every “Trope” I get, I will post a TV trope for my muse.

( You Can’t Fight Fate ) — So this is mix of meta ig and some stuff that DID happen in canon. So there was the famous note at the end of Iron Fist S2 where Danny tells Colleen that maybe it was destiny the whole time that she end up with the Iron Fist. One of her alleged ancestors is the Pirate Queen of Pinghai Bay, the first woman to ever hold the Iron Fist, and in the farewell note he tells her that the childhood story she heard about the Pirate Queen wasn’t a story because it was also told in K’un-Lun. (Bonus points for Colleen telling Danny point blank that she didn’t want the Fist and he couldn’t just dump it on her.) 

But anyway, there has been a lot of discussion about whether or not Bakuto knew about this before he took her into the Hand and if the Hand had taken her in with the intention of hijacking that ‘destiny.’ Have Colleen take the Iron Fist from the current one (Danny) because having someone they had brainwashed since a child wielding the Immortal Weapon? Wouldn’t that have been great for them? Of course, they weren’t counting on Colleen meeting Danny, falling in love with him, or her loyalties shifting away from the Hand and Bakuto, towards Danny Rand. But it’s a lot of speculation, did Bakuto know about Colleen’s ancestry? Had he or the other Hand members been trying to track down a descendant of an Iron Fist in the hopes that having a direct line that could be traced back to K’un-Lun and an Iron Fist – had they hoped that having that would help tip the scales in their favor so that they could find more of their “substance”? The long and short of this is that there are some theories out there that the Hand had every intention of exploiting Colleen’s connection to the Iron Fist, and that the intention might have been to groom her to take the Fist and use it in a way that favored the Hand.

When you had the power to manipulate metal, there were very few things on the planet that were secure.  Locking mechanisms were always metal, except for the one on the door of the cell in the Pentagon built specifically to contain him.  No, the trickier part was the human element, but even that was child’s play with the skill set Erik had at his disposal.  

Getting into Emma’s office had been easy.  Getting into her filing cabinet, even easier.  His feet are propped up on her desk when she comes in, thumbs skimming over the labels of the files in her desk as he leans back to read the labels.  Her entrance draws his gaze away, though he doesn’t close the drawer.  

“I think I just did, as it turns out.  Hello again, Emma.”  

His mental barriers are firmly up, already, his natural wariness of psionic manipulation only strengthened by the history between him and the telepaths he’s been closest to, over the years.  “Always such a frosty reception.  You don’t seem very happy to see me.”
