Weeks had passed and things were getting more serious between her and salic. Though she did have her own work cut out for her with the clubs needs and there were always building to be burnt down. Messages to be sent and what not. Nova was more than happy to help the club when they called. Though as of the last week she had been feeling so sick and wanted to see her doctor. Little did she know of the little bundle of magma that had taken up residence in her body. Nova had been on birth control but with her core temperature it was burning of rather than being effective.
The appointment had her waiting for all kinda of test results and the one that the doctor came back with hit her hard. It wasn't something she was ready to face the news of alone. Still the doctor preformed a ultra sound and sent her away with pictures and a very important future date. Unsure of how to handle the news her first stop was the club to talk with Lulu about it. Queenie happened to be there as well so it helped a bit to ease her mind. Mostly she wasn't sure how to break the news to William out of all her family.
While she was with both her friends her eyes glanced at Queenies phone to see the background image. It made her gut sink to the floor because from what she could see. Her guy was the same one that queenie had been so happy with. From there she left the club without another word and texted Salic on the way home. 'We need to talk.' Was all she sent to him before calling her brother and meeting him back at her apartment. The girl was upset and her big brother was the one who always fixed it when guys hurt her.
Though william was pretty unhappy about the news he was hearing from Nova. After giving her a lecture that made her cry the two just sat in silence for a while. She felt like an idiot and just a all around sleaze bag. She didn't know that Salic had a twin brother and that she was upset for basically nothing. Its not like that had talked much about family and their relationship was pretty physical to say the least.
The weeks after Salic and Nova had their moment at the Now crater that was once the base that tested on him, Salic had quit his Foundry job after making a good deal of money, had decided to do his garage work more now as his primary source of income. It was also so that he could spend more time with Nova. He was working on Motorcycles and other vehicles that pulled up to the two bay doors of his workshop. While spending time with her lately, hers been noticing that she hadn’t been feeling good. Getting sick every now and then. He had felt bad as he tried to take care of her, but if anyone knew Nova, they know that she is stubborn. But, she did manage to get an appointment to see her doctor. Salic told her to send him a message or to call to let him know when she finds out what was wrong with her. And the day she went, he was under the car lift looking at the suspension of a Honda Civic and had to look over an Ultra Classic’s Engine since it was said that it was sputtering badly when started.
With his flash light in his hand, he shined it up under the Civic to look at the springs the car had. One was bent, one was just snapped in half, and the two in the rear, they were rusting. So in other words, shitty Foreign cars. Stepping out from under the car, he went to his office. Sitting down in his seat, he began looking up different sites and even having to call different dealerships and junkyards to find the right springs for this job. When he managed to find them, he was paying 109 per spring. Thinking about it, he dialed up the customer and laid it out fully as to what was wrong with car and how much the parts were going to cost the would be street racer. And when the cost of what the job would cost him, the customer said with less cursing and kid tantrum like fashion that he was going to find someone else to work on the car. Taking in a deep breath, he hung the phone up and went out into the one bay where the car sat. Lowering the lift until all four tires were down. He put his hands on the hood of the car and pushed it out and let it sit outside with the keys sitting on the driver seat. Walking back inside, he closed the bay door and went to the Harley. Grabbing his tools, Salic began to take apart the Harley’s engine and was looking over every piece until he saw that carburetor was clogged and one of the spark plugs had went bad.
It was a simple clean job. Replacing the spark plugs with newer ones and cleaning out the engine. Filling it back up with it’s fluids, he put the engine right back together and had the bike running meaner then before. Smiling at his work, he went back to the office and called up this customer, an older looking woman biker. It rang a couple of times and he told her that her Harley was done and explained what was all wrong with it and told her the cost. She told him that he was cheaper than the Harley Dealership and she will be over tomorrow to pick it up. His cellphone dinged in his pocket. Wiping his hands, he pulled out the phone and saw the message just saying “We need to talk.” Raising an eyebrow, his thumbs typed in his response. “Sure thing my fire sprite. When and where do you want to meet? Just need to close up the shop and then I’m free for the rest of the day.”
Hear my shapeless songs i'm singing and painting this morning light, bit by bit, hoping I'd get to that summer sky. I'm feeling alright I can see your palm reaching out to mine. ---In the orange sky, there is glowing fireflies.
For weeks now William had been on a spiraling tailspin of self destruction. Nicole was dead and so was the future that involved his kids. Sometimes you dont realize what you lost until its gone and it hit him hard. So he wast basically drinking himself to an early grave along with abuse of other drugs. Most nights he spent partying with Johnny because at least that way it was a sure thing he would forget. Forget her smile and the lonliness he felt when she wasnt around for him.
Hell he hadn't even been back to his home since it happened because the pictures and memories there. For the most part he was crashing on Busters couch or on a couch at the clubhouse after a long night of drinking. Just depended how hammered he was and if buster and sophia could move him. Today he woke up in the clubhouse when Nova called him and she was upset. Apparently some guy she was seeing was a cheating dog and it was enough to get him to rise from the dead.
When he got to his sisters apartment and heard the other news it made him unhappy. Just for the simple fact that she was to young to be tied down in life this early. William had hoped she would go to college and maybe spend time traveling the world. Sure she was his little sister but as much time as they spent together he felt more for her than his brother. Nova had sent a sent to this guy to come over but after her fight with her brother she passed out from crying.
The phone was left on the table and when the screen lit up there was a selfie of his sister. Along with her there was a mans face and it was enough to make his blood boil. Grabbing the phone he slipped it in his pocket and headed to find this man. The drive was decent seeing as Queenie and Simon lived out in the rural area outside the city. Pulling into the drive he was out of the truck and moving towards the door right as Queenie was returning home.
"Ms. Queenie..." William spoke with a nod as she unlocked the door and he followed her in. She was calling for simon to say they had company and the minute the man appeared. William was already turned to metal and tackling him through the sliding glass door near them. When they hit the ground he threw to punches at the guys face in his angered state. Queenie was yelling in the background and confused as to the issue at hand.
Post by Simon Crawford on Oct 14, 2018 13:53:25 GMT
Simon woke up from his slumber to Queenie’s voice saying they had a visitor at their house. With a groan, he slowly forced himself to push his way off of their bed. The night before, he was dealing with the insurance company and thanks to Queenie, she helped him to loosen up and forget about the worries in Michigan. Going over to his dresser, he pulled out a pair of jogging pants and walked out. He didn’t want his guest or guests to see him without any sort of clothing on, Only Queenie was allowed that privilege. Rubbing his eye and yawning a bit, Simon walked down the steps and stepped down to see William coming around from behind Queenie. “Oh hey Will, you want something to dri-“ Before he could finish his question, he was slammed by the man of steel and right through the glass door that led out to the back yard. A sharp piercing pain jolted through his body and before he could yell out in pain, William’s fist was connecting to Simon’s face one after the other. With his eyes turning black, he watched as William drew back his steel hand and was bringing it back down when it stopped by Simon’s hand catching it and holding it back. He pulled the arm so that William went over head of Simon. Rolling away from him, Simon slowly stood up as he felt wet on his stomach and that feeling was going down his left le. Upon looking down, he saw a shard of glass from the sliding door was stickin out of his gut. Growling to himself behind gritting teeth, Simon clenched both of his fists wit the sound of them cracking at once. His diamond came forth and covered his body.
Simon was now pissed. Not only was William here starting shit, but he was tackled through his own glass door, impaled by glass and had been fisted multiple times across his face. Running at William, Simon came barreling at metal boy and sent a fist of his own into William’s not so pretty face with the force that could send a pickup truck rolling or flipping through the air depending on where he had hit it. Advancing slowly after William as they were now in the back yard. “I don’t know what your fucking problem is with me now, but you crossed the line by tackling me and thinking it’s a good idea to assault me. Even after keeping your sleezy ass out of the slam multiple times now because of your damn drinking Drunk spree. I understand your going through a hard time with the loss of your lass...but by Odin’s Beard, I will not tolerate this behavior on my Lands!” As Simon spoke out of rage, he was letting his old and natural accent to come forth. From an era that is only read in books, seen in movies or re-enacted of the Time of Vikings. As he approached William, the diamond around his hands formed two sickle axes with runic writing along each sharp edge. But when he heard Queenie screaming at them to stop, he took in a deep breath to try and get composure over his emotions. But when he looked at William, it wasn’t helping the fight in his soul. Gripping tightly to his axes, he threw them both down into the ground with them both sticking out of the soil from half way up the handle shafts up. Turning away, he began walking towards the house and said with a hash voice. “Get off me lands...or so help me William...not even the All knowing father will be able to stop the fury that I have for you!”
The diamond that covered his left leg was showing blood pooling up half way up his thigh. Walking onto the concrete pad with broken glass everywhere, he simply shook his head at the mess. Going into the house, Simon went walking through his house until he reached the one bathroom. Stepping into the shower, he had the diamond to disappear and the blood splashed across the floor of the shower. Taking a hold of the glass shard, he yanked it out from behind. A painful groan came from him as he dropped the shard on the floor. Turning on the shower, he let the cold that then shifted to hot water to wash away the blood and cleaned the wound. Covering himself again with his diamond form, the wound began to heal up and was then good as new. Turning the water off, he stepped out of the shower and moved about. Anger filled his usually calm mind as he tried to calm himself down. This was a side he tried to hide the most, the violent side of himself. At this point, he didn’t care for William!s reasons as to why he had done what he did nor did he care at this point in time. He wanted him off the property to calm down, or Simon might be the one going to jail at charges of Murder. Sitting down on the staircase, he placed his hands against his temples as a headache was forming and his vision was slowly going red as his Viking spirit wanted to spill blood like back many eons ago. His face was looking down at the floor where he sat as he was breathing deeply and exhaling slowly.
"I found no cure for the loneliness I found no cure for the sickness Nothing here feels like home,
Crowded streets, but I'm all alone I found no cure for the loneliness I found no cure for the sickness Nothing here feels like home Crowded streets, but I'm all alone"
The morning had started out to be an early one for her as she slid out of the bed. Simon was knocked out and today he was off work just to relax after everything going on it Detroit. Luckily his new bosses were understanding people and had given him time off to get it settled. Having him to herself for the most part had been so very nice and she didn't really want the time to end. Sure he had to go back to work at the office soon but she wished they just had more time at home. Her first stop was the club to make sure the liquor delivery went well and then she was off to look at wedding details with Lulu.
Nova had stopped by to have lunch with them and Queenie sensed something was already off. The tan skinned girl looked pale and anxious after a doctors appointment. Wasn't really hard to put two and two together but she didn't bring it up. Though Nova did excuse herself after glancing at the picture on Queenies phone of her and Simon. Queenie just figured she wanted to go deal with her business and didn't think much of it after that. As she arrived back home it was quite a odd occurrence that William would arrive as well. Thinking it had something to due with a future court date there was a smile on her face as he greeted her.
"Looking good slim. I'll let Simon know your here." She spoke as she opened the door and moved through the house. "Simon!..Baby we have company." Queenie called out through the house before going to set some groceries down on the counter. Everything was silent for a few minutes before hell broke loose in the house. Simon came downstairs and there was a loud crash of shattering glass. Her attention turned to see William on top of Simon. "Shit.." She muttered as she grabbed a phone to try and call nova.
As the phone rang she saw Novas actual phone on the floor near the shattered glass. The background was a picture of nova and what looked like a mountain man version of Simon. Picking up the phone she dialed the second number for nova. It was a burner phone and all the fools had been given one. When the very sleepy girl answered the phone Queenie told her to come over very urgently. After giving the address her eyes moved out to see Simon with two axes. Moving outside she stopped within several feet of the two brawlers. "Simon stop! Please don't hurt him, hes family and hes obviously drunk off his ass."
When Simon headed inside William tried to follow but strong vines shot forth from the wood line. They wrapped and constricted around his limbs and loosely around his neck. "I don't know what your fucking problem is but you don't come to my home and start shit. Have you lost your fucking mind?" Queenie asked angrily as she stared at the metal man before her. "Maybe you should asked your man about the piece of ass he gets on the side. Apparently he needed something younger and even made the mistake of knocking her up."
William spoke angrily and the words stabbed Queenie like a knife. Looking down at Novas phone and the back ground picture. Leaving William entangled in the weeds she moved towards the house. Grabbing a bottle of Jack from the cabinet she twisted the cap of and didn't bother pouring a glass. Turning it up she coughed a bit from the burn as she waited for Simon. When she did hear his foot steps on the stairs she came into the living room and tossed the phone with the picture in front of his feet. "Are you seeing his little sister? Am i fool for having believed you faithful?" Her words spoke every bit of hurt and confusion she was feeling.
Nova had a long heated discussion with her brother that ended in her locking herself in her room and crying. All the emotional stress had her worn out since her body was barely adjusted to growing another life. In her dreams she saw visions of the future with her and salic so very happy. Though it seemed dark clouds came to pass during this dream and there she stood over the dead body of her lover. It was enough to make her wake to the phone call she received.
Nova wasn't sure how long she napped but opening the burning flip phone she pulled it to her ear. Apparently William was being a dumb ass and destroying Queenie's home. Moved off her bed she hung up the phone and headed to her bathroom. Looking at herself in the mirror she went to start fixing her runny makeup. In the process she texted Salic. "Change of plans meet me at 1029 Williowhollow ln. Apparently my brother is destroying another club members house in a drunken rage."
When he texted back that he would meet her there she headed down to her car and was on the road in a hurry. Speeding down the highway to get there as soon as she could because she wasn't sure what exactly William knew. She didn't tell him about who her boyfriend was but then again she couldn't find her iPhone either. Soon enough she pulled up into the drive of Queenies home and sat William basically wrapped up in a tree that she was sure queenie made.
Stopping at the front door to their house she hesitated. Honestly she wasn't sure if salic was here and she would find out he was indeed with queenie or what was going on really. All she knew was everything was stressing her out and making her sick on top of things.
Once the customer had come to pick up her bike, Salic was starting to close up the shop when he heard another of the god forsaken ding’s happen. Pulling his phone out from his pocket, he looked to see it was Nova’s second phone she had. His eyes scanned the message and abruptly said out loud, “What in the actual flying fuck is with him destroying other people’s properties?!?” Shaking his head since he a feeling that the first meeting of her brother was going to be him trying to get him under control might end up in a brawl from what he heard about William, he texted back he will be their as soon as possible. Shutting all the bay doors and making sure everything was locked up, he went to his Harley sliding his riding glasses on as he fired up the bike when he gotten on it. Typing the address into his cellphone, he hooked it up with his blue tooth so he could hear the instruction from the annoying voice of the phone. Peeling out of the parking space, him and his bike cut across New York City going towards where he was needed.mhe was also wondering what the doctor had to say about her condition she was under. It was going to take him a bit of time to get to the destination. But he was determined to get there as fast as he could, even if it meant trying to beat the land speed record and going through every red light he came across...which he was doing.
At Simon
While he sat there trying to calm down, he heard the approach of his girlfriend and spoke to him like he had done something wrong while she tossed a IPhone at his feet. Looking at her confused before looking at it, he said to her. “Wait, William has a little sister? Wow, I hope she isn’t like him or I’ll have to bust her out of jail as well...and do you actually think I have intentions on cheating on you babe? And even if I did, which I absolutely don’t, do you think I have the time to even be Able to cheat on you with how my work schedule is?” Looking down, he picked up the phone and pressed the power button lightly as the Lock Screen came up with a disturbing photo starring at him. Like a knife had went through him as he saw his twin’s face with that smug look on his face. Cracks began to go through the diamond form as his hands began to shake in hatred and rage. Diamond spirals began to push up and out from his shoulders and down his forearms, he dropped the phone before he broke it. He stood up and shouted as he ran back up the stairs to their bedroom. “Salic you son of bitch!” As he ran through the upper level of their home, where his foot made contact, black diamond began to form and spread across the floor and walls. All but breaking the door, he went inside as he tried to wrap his mind around things as his fury only made him to make his diamond to grow across things that weren’t liquid or alive. A car pulling up was heard moments later and Queenie answered the door and let someone into their home. Whoever it was, she sounded young as the two of them talked. The doorway for the bedroom was consumed by Black Diamond to make a wall. His fists were connecting to the black diamond walls now as was slowly losing control of his sanity. With each punch, the house as a whole vibrated from the force of his blows. But when the sound of the engine of a motorcycle caught his and those downstairs attention, he stopped punching. He went over towards the window and looked out to see the bastard himself riding down the driveway.
Salic...
It had taken Salic a while to reach the place since he had to dodge and weave around traffic that it caused accidents every now and then when he had blown right through red lights. This was leaving the cops, firefighters and EMT’s busy as fuck now. When he finally reached the house, he pulled into the long driveway and in the distance, could see a pickup truck that he had fixed for Nova when William was out one day being ‘Busy’ and saw Nova’s car parked next to it. Riding closer and closer, his body was warning him something wasn’t right. That’s when he saw something from his past that enraged him. The one one window on the top floor of the massive ass house opened up and out fell from it was his dear twin brother. He could hear Harold yelling in rage as Black Diamond encased the outside of the house, making those in the house trapped. Opening his eyes wide, Salic began to swerve and weave as long pillar like spikes of Black Diamonds shot forth from Harold (Simon), one though had hit the fuel tank and pierced through it like it was nothing. This though caused sparks and the fuel didn’t react to kindly to it. The gas tank exploded sending Salic flying through the air. While he was soaring, he bursted into his magma form and landed scorching the ground underneath him as he slid to a stop with his hands and feet digging into the landscape. The two brothers grew in size as they then ran towards each other. Like two titans, they clashed against each other swinging. The limbs connecting with the bodies. The diamond piercing through the magma form while the magma fist hit the body of the diamond golem, causing it to start heating up. Both of them backed away as Simon caused the affected diamond to fall off and new diamond formed again much like how the magma golf just grew in new magma. Salic and Simon was now fighting a sort of equal battle and each blow could be felt via by heat and the massive amount of diamond encasing the mansion vibrating loudly.
She was standing out side for a short amount of time before Queenie let her in. This wasn't exactly a warm house visit that she would've liked to have in the future. "So crazy circumstances for the visit aunt queenie." Nova spoke as she stood into the home and the walls started to shake. The sounds of fists hitting walls weren't something she didn't recognize. Her own temper was one that she had a hard time controlling and it was the reason William had been teaching her to fight since she was young. To help channel her anger into something that wouldn't put her in prison.
Sure that was the life of both her brother and yet William always said he wanted more for her. Her attention turned when she heard the motorcycle on the driveway and for a moment her heart just skipped. Though things turned bad when another voice yelled from upstairs. Soon after the walls of the house and windows started to show encasement. A loud explosion made nova start to panic as she moved to the doors and windows trying to find a way out. The whole house was covered and this just made her even more anxious.
The problem was that her hormones were already out of whack and soon her temperature started to rise. Queenie was in the house and rushing around talking to her but it sounds like white noise. All she wanted was to get outside and see what was happening and even to protect salic no matter what. The degrees in the house rose rapidly to a point where queenie was having a hard time breathing and had to retreat to the exit in the basement. One she had never used but it was enough to get out and leave nova inside the giant oven.
everything inside the diamond casing started to smoke and smelter from the increasing heat. The furniture and walls all burst into flames along the clothing she wore that wasn't resistant to the heat. Novas eyes were bright orange and red as her body had swirling red waves dancing around it.
Hear my shapeless songs i'm singing and painting this morning light, bit by bit, hoping I'd get to that summer sky. I'm feeling alright I can see your palm reaching out to mine. ---In the orange sky, there is glowing fireflies.
Every power has its limits and even William who was strong was feeling them now. Wrapped in plant life that formed a tree had tired him out as she tried his best to break loose. His aggravation was getting worse as every time he managed to break a bit of himself free. More vines took the place of broken ones. His face was luckily uncovered and facing the home he watched as it was encased in diamond. His attention turned when this became a battleground for titans and the two twins went at it. On the upside it was a good thing to know that Simon was not two timing his sister, but at the same time why did there have to be two of them.
All he could do was watch for the moment until he finally felt the plants releasing their hold. Queenie who was moving towards him had stopped to watch Simon fighting basically a another huge titan beast. "Ironsides. I know you got issues with them but there is a bigger problem. Nova is still in that house and shes gonna over heat. You remember the last time she got this upset?" Queenie spoke as she glanced back towards the house. Cracking his neck he moved over to the wood line and dug his metal hands into the largest tree.
Ripping it from the ground he moved closer to the two fighting beings. Taking a swing at both of them the wood crashed and burnt on both bodies enough to hopefully get their attention. "HEY ASS HATS!! I DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT THIS FIGHT. KILL EACH OTHER AFTERWORDS BUT THAT DIAMOND PRISON NEEDS TO OPENED!! OTHERWISE IF MY SISTER DIES IM GOING TO KILL BOTH OF YOU." He screamed angrily at the two but it didn't matter. There was a loud explosion in one of the bottom floor windows.
Through the flames came a glowing form and after several feet into the cool air she dropped. Back to normal but passed out none the less as William and queenie both rushed over. Covering her with a jacket and scooping her up and moving her away from the house carefully. Her body smelled like charcoal and there was a bit of blisters marking her skin from the amount of heat she had let out.
@tag // Notes:---
MADE BY NOVA
Last Edit: Oct 14, 2018 17:05:50 GMT by William Pope
With the two focused on trying to kill each other, Simon had lost some of his concentration of his Fortess of Diamonds, not purposely allowing areas of it weak. Their feet du into the soil or charred into the soil as they threw punch after punch after punch and then, TREE! A tree out of nowhere came breaking across Simon’s diamond and when William tried smacking Salic, he’d see the tree portion disappears in the flowing magma that covered him and the piece he was still holding caught on fire. Their heads turned as the fight had stopped for a moment. Hearing that William’s sister/ sweet heart of Salic was in there, Salic knew exactly what it meant. But before either of them could do anything, there was an explosion and out came the naked figure of Nova as she was glowing brightly and it then vanished as her body landed on the soft grass. This was something he had seen and had to deal with a couple of times. Losing his form, he ran naked towards them. When he tried to take her from William, whom resisted Salic, he looked at William with his eyes flared up and spoke slow and simple for the man of steel. “If you don’t let me take care of her, her heart stops. Her body needs to stay warm and gradually cool down.” William wasn’t happy at what was being said to him, but he knew that he couldn’t help his little sister. A nod came from William and handed the unconscious Nova to Salic. Taking her in his hold, he took the jacket and tossed it back to William.
Moving away from the gathering, he looked at his twin brother with an almost plea like face. Simon merely nodded his head and stood nearby watching. Magma began to form around Salic again as he lifted his head, looking up at the skies above and let out a deep yell. He was focusing his powers as he yelled. The ground began to shake violently as heat was pouring off of himself and the ground around him did the same as the grass dried up and flash burnt. A hole formed under Salic as it filled up with swirling magma. Lowering her body on his arms, he allowed the magma to cover her bare beautiful body. That was when he noticed something different. Through the magma, he could feel two beating hearts. One from her own heart, then a smaller but faster heart beat. She was carrying...a child in her. Shocked at this, he knelt down and held her close to him as their head’s stayed above the surface. A soft humming was heard coming from him as he closed his eyes and rested his head against her’s. Simon saw this different side of Salic as strange. He came out of his diamond form and caused the diamond in and outside of the house to subside and slid back to him where it then disappeared. Walking over to Queenie, he wrapped his arms around her and his eyes looked at William. There wasn’t words to be needed as he was expecting him to say some smart ass words about how there was two of them that looked so much alike. Whispering into her ear, he said to Queenie. “That person in the lava...is my twin brother, Salic. I will explain everything to you once we are alone....and I mean everything. Some of what I have to tell you is something I’ve been living with for many years and haven’t told any other soul about....I’m sorry I didn’t tell you sooner...was only doing it to protect you.” In Simon’s voice, there was what sounded like sadness to it.
With Salic, he made a dome of lava to form around him and Nova somthat the heat stayed in one place. Kissing the top of her head, he was scared that he might lose her and the baby. As the lava inside the dome and the lava of the dome spun faster and faster, it caused a magnetic sphere to form. Every now and then, a discharge of electricity went for and zapped William while he was still in his metal form. Salic’s one hand rested on hercstomach and was gently running his palm back and forth over the spot. He lightly said to her. “I love you Nova, my little Fire sprite. And now you have a little blast furnace inside of you...waiting to be born and for us to have a fiery family of our own...now I know what the doctor had to say about you getting sick and feeling horrible. Don’t worry...I’ll always be by your side no matter what. Nothing will get in our way of having this family.”
From the time she was younger and started to show her powers. It was always believe they would be the death of her. Even when she went to school the professors warned her about the limitations she faced. Consequences weren't fully known but over the years she had learned from her own mistakes how far she could push it before it got bad. Today she pushed it further than her personally set limits and her arms had bits of red flaky skin because of it. When she hit the ground everything around her had faded away. She was in her world of sorts that took form of a battlefield.
There were slain warriors everywhere around her and there was a battle between the two titan brothers. As the two went out it she tried to call out to them but it didn't work. It was like her voice just wouldn't make the distance to reach them. She tried to move closer but everything shifted and soon she stood there before the figure of a woman. "They're mine silly girl. Your fight for him is a waste, for I am coming." This woman spoke to her and gave an evil laugh before she was pulled back to reality.
The sound of Salics voice was dragging her back into conscious thought as her eyes fluttered open. Her vision slowly cleared and she weakly stared up at Salic. "You're okay...I was worried about you." Her fingers moved from the magma to the side of his face. Her strength was already growing as she slowly rose and pressed her lips to his. Pulling away her hand rested on top of his on her stomach. "I didn't even think it was possible.. My temperature is to hot and i didnt believe that i could grow another life."
Nova spoke as she leaned her head against his chest. All her heat started to returned to a normal safe level as her eyes closed."I'm so sleepy. Can we go home now?" Yawning a bit her tired voice spoke out to him. Though really she just wanted to forget about what she had seen in her dream. It couldn't be real right? After all she had no real clue about the past of these to brothers of the fact that they had lived and fought each other for centuries.
you're a world away, somewhere in the crowd, in a foreign place—are you happy now? there's nothing left to say, so i shut my mouth, so won't you tell me babe: are you happy now?
[attr="class","happynand4"]
The whole situation was a mess but her hand rested on williams shoulder at the lava man took nova away. Honestly it was good to have someone that would understand the girls impressive power and be able to help her find her way. "She's gonna be okay Will. Just let him take care of her." Queenies voice was soft as she removed her hand and backed away a bit. Simon came up to her and spoke about his twin brother and things they needed to speak about. Her eyes darted back to the house that was now basically just a frame on fire and she sighed.
"I guess its a good thing that there are plenty of apartments available in the clubs complex. Guess we will just take over the penthouse on the top of building b. There's a nice sunny garden there." Even with the dire situation she was trying to keep an upbeat mood. Hearing the electric strikes she noticed William being hit repeatedly but he didn't dare move. When the storm finally stopped and he saw that his sister would be fine the man fell to the ground. "Lets take him home and we can talk after he's settled."
She knew he would heal on his own but it was going to take Simon to life him in that metal form he held. Queenie glanced towards Salic and nova in their lava pool. "You come after my man again. I will find a way to kill you and id rather not do that to nova. She doesn't need it in her condition. I hope we have an understanding." Following simon back to williams truck she hopped into the drivers seat. "Follow me handsome. We can retrieve the rest of the cars later. Report the home loss in the morning."
On the way back to the complex she was quiet and in her mind. Just seeing the way those two wanted to kill each other. Knowing there was bad blood in the family and Simons words made an ominous cloud hang over her head. After a call to lulu and getting William settled she found herself in the penthouse with Simon. Lulu was having furniture delivered to set them up and queenie just wanted to some air. Stepping out into the garden area patio she looked over the balcony. Lost in thought she didn't really know what to say to simon right at the moment. Nor was she prepared for this story.
As her eyes fluttered opened, a sigh of relief came out of Salic like a weight had been lifted off of him as he held her close. Hearing her words, he smiled softly at her as he said lightly in return to her. “I’m fine sweetie. I can hold my own in a fight...I was more worried about you though...but I’m glad you are feeling better.” With her getting her strength back, she placed her one hand against the side of his face. Feeling the warmth from it, he slid the side of his face in her palm before their lips pressed against each other as she had rose up a bit to meet his face. When she broke the kiss they shared with each other for a few moments, she rested her head on his chest and withdrew her hand to only place it on top of his hand that laid on her stomach. Nova sounded surprised as she spoke about how hot she can get, yet they had a life growing ever so slowly inside of her. Smiling still, he kissed the top of her head. Saying lightly, he spoke to her. “Life always seems to work in ways that we just don’t understand. Maybe it’s because I can withstand that fiery spirit you have inside of you that it was possible for us to have a miracle in your stomach growing...and I have no regrets of it either.” Feeling her temperature slowly returning to normal, he moved her body slightly so that she was sitting on his lap. His other arm was resting around her back and shoulder as he heard her talk and had the hints of her being tired as she asked if they could go home.
Nodding his head, he kissed her forehead softly. The domes that protected them had faded and subsided back into the lava pool. His lava had slipped over her body to cover her bare features. Hardening the outside slightly, he had made her a protective shell that moved whenever she moved her limbs. To her, it would feel like a warm set of clothing that fit her. The inside of it had it’s liquid form keeping both her and the baby warm. Moving hisnhand from her stomach, he slid it so that it rested under both her knees. When he had a good hold of her, he stood up as his lava did the same thing around his lower section of his body. Stepping up onto the ground while holding her like she weighed nothing, he made the pool of lava to slide back down in through the hole it had came out of. The ground collapsed in on it and covered the hole in. His blueish red eyes stayed on her as he looked over her facial features. But, he felt something that was distant had came to her earlier and this feeling was familiar to himself from back in time. Shaking it out of his mind, Salic knew that Harold would have felt it as well. Without saying anything to everyone else, he focused his mind on the lava under the ground and around himself. A high pressure of magma blasted out from under both her and him in a tight pact stream of bright orange making Salic and Nova to be set flying into the air. It didn’t take much time for them to be over his place and them free falling to the asphalt parking lot. Using his body and legs, he absorbed the impact while the cacoon of lava kept the baby and her safe.
Turning around with her still in his arms, he walked them to the mechanic shop that had his apartment above it. Going to the side, he opened the door, stepped through it and closed it behind himself. Going up the stairs, he kicked open the door as the lava covering the, both had slid into his body making him feel like a blast furnace on the inside. Salic took her right to his bedroom and set her down onto his queen size bed. Climbing onto the bed with her, he pulled the blankets over them both as he laid down upagainst her and wrapped an arm around her. The hand was gently tracing little circles over her stomach as his eyes glowed a bit in the somewhat dark room while watching her. Nova had made him happy over the time they had been spending time together. Even if some of the time was them in their fiery passions for each other, he wasn’t going to allow anything to get in between them and the possible plans of them being a family.

Moving back a bit, he listened to what she said and also looked at what was left of his house. The fire in which Nova had caused had consumed almost the entirety of it. One thing he noticed that wasn’t on fire besides the garage was the green house. Taking in a deep breath, he slowly let it out through his nose since this wasn’t a cheaply built house. He had invested so much into it and it was now gone. Queenie stated that they were going to be staying in the club’s one complex’s penthouse. Simon didn’t say anything as he looked at the ruins of his old home. But he looked at William who finally fell to the ground and heard that they should take him back to his place to let him heal up. Nodding his head, he grabbed one of Will’s hands and lifted him up and over Simon’s shoulders. Queenie already jumped into the driver side of William’s truck. But Simon, he decided on placing him somewhere different then inside the cab. Stepping up to the bed, he lowered the tail gate down and lifted him off of his shoulders and onto the bed of the truck. Climbing up onto it, he grabbed a few ratchet straps and strapped William down to the bed. Hopping off, he slammed the bed closed as he walked over to his Dodge Charger since he still had it’s keys in his pocket. Opening the heavy steel door, he slid into the driver seat and slammed the door behind him. With the key being put in and turned, it’s heavy engine fired up. If they were going to stay somewhere else, he wanted at least one of their vehicles there with them in case they wanted to go out somewhere. Turning the car around, he saw that Queenie was a bit away. It didn’t take him long to catch up to the two by the time they hit the mouth of the drive way.
Following the pick up with a car length space between them, Simon was mentally going over all the things they would be needing. Clothing was one of the top items on the list, for both of them. And since Simon had done shopping for her or helped her out of her dresses when she was done her shift, he knew what sizes to get for her. His mind also drifted back to seeing his twin brother. The fact he was in New York and they hadn’t run into each other was a feat all on its own....but Salic was seeing someone, that someone who had burnt his house down to cinders. She looked young and it was William’s little sister nonetheless. Shaking his head, he was hoping him and his brother could finally work things out between themselves. If not, then Freya would have an easier time controlling the hot headed one of the two brothers. Then came the thought that him and Queenie were going to have that talk. This day just kept getting better and better. His one hand came up to his jaw which still throbbed from William’s fist from earlier. He knew William good enough by this point that he knew that he wasn’t going to get an apology from him for coming into his house and starting a fight. But to know that the girl Salic was seeing was pregnant, meant that their offspring was going to be dangerous with fire powers...he was going to invest for them an underground on Simon’s land for when the kids came over. He wasn’t going to have another house go up in flames this time.
At the end of the drive, he pulled up into a parking spot next to the truck. Turning off the engine, he climbed out of it and locked the doors. There was a few guys of the club who came to help, but Simon lifted his hands up and told them to get both the doors ready cause he was going to carry the heavy steel body up the stairs himself. Undoing the straps, he dragged metal boy towards the tailgate and hoisted him back onto his shoulders. Carrying William up the flights of stairs and each step creaked with each step he took, he finally reached his apartment and dropped awilliam down onto the bed. Rolling both his shoulders back and forth in a circular motion, he then went up to the penthouse where Queenie had already went inside. Closing the door behind him, he was a bit exhausted from carrying the guy who assaulted him to his bed. The apartment was barren with the lack of furniture. His eyes went to the patio where he saw his girlfriend standing inside of the green house over looking the edge of the balcony. A frown came over him as he saw that she didn’t look towards him as he entered the penthouse. Something was wrong since she was always happy to turn around to see and greet him whenever he entered somewhere she was at. Walking over to the penthouse green house, he stepped inside and felt the dampness from inside the room greeting him as it sent a chill up his back. Walking over towards her, he stood next to her. Turning, leaning and sliding down to the floor with a sigh, he kicked off his shoes for the time being and rested his head against the balcony.
“As you have noticed, I have a twin brother named Salic. Many years ago, I was born under the name of Harold Skjǫldrin, a small village of Iceland. From what I hear, that little village is now a full thriving city called Vik. Me and him are very old due to a curse from an angry goddess that our lord wanted hushed. We were born in the time and era that you were grown up to know in school as Vikings. Just to think...that was over nine hundred and and fifty years ago...how time flies. Our lord Odin came to our parents one night and gave us nicknames, naming us after his two Ravens...Hugin and Munin. We were his eyes and ears in this realm. Keeping our mutant brothers and sisters in line...but his daughter Freya had other ideas. She managed to put him under her spell and was able to control him with a simple use of her words and false promises.” Sighing to himself, he looked upwards as he kept talking. “When we grew into our powers and into higher ranks of Odin’s military, we were ordered to go to Freya’s fortress and level the place. That’s when Salic betrayed us...killing all the men and women under our command. I was the only one who survived Salic’s magma, but I was weakened from it. She had shown herself and I took it to stab her with a diamond spear. When her strength was starting to fail and me encasing her in black diamond, she linked both of our lives to her’s. Forcing us to live ageless lives. I have seen so many wars...so much blood shed. I’ve seen the rise and fall of many empires and nations. I helped build Lady Liberty that stands on that lonely island. Having to change my name so many times...but because of that link Freya had with Salic...Salic was ordered to track me down and try to kill me. If he wasn’t able to do so....he had killed the first few of my lovers I had. Instead of indulging him with fighting to the death, Inwould force a stalemate and forced each of us to leave for a time before he started up his chase again.”
His head tilted downwards as he looked down at the floor. There was a pain etched in his face while sitting there, explaining and telling of this history. Running his left hand against the back of his neck to find some comfort but not finding none, he continued. “After killing five of them, I forced myself to not to date anyone. Learning and taking up new trades and jobs, I’ve lived alone for many centuries...until one day...a lovely blonde wearing a tight fitting dress came into a meeting I was having with coworkers and a boss who was trying to hard to get into my pants. She invited me to her clubto have a good time. When I saw her...my heart skipped a beat and I knew I was falling for her hard. Knowing that one day, Salic will show up and try to take her from my life like the others...the more I tried to resist the feeling, the more I fell in love with her...” turning his right hand up so that his palm was aiming skyward, black diamond began to form and took the shape of Queenie. The diamond figure was moving, doing Queenie’s dance moves that she did with Simon when they both were up on the stage. Turning his head, he looked at Queenie and she could see his tired eyes, filled with pain and bloodshot as tears began to form and skidded down his cheeks. While sliding down her face, they formed into diamonds as they hit the ground. “I fell in love with you Queenie...”
you're a world away, somewhere in the crowd, in a foreign place—are you happy now? there's nothing left to say, so i shut my mouth, so won't you tell me babe: are you happy now?
[attr="class","happynand4"]
There was already so much on her mind seeing the two men, Brother titans fighting with full intentions to kill the other. Even the slightest feeling of Simon dying made her heart hurt. By the time she had company on the balcony garden was starting to come to life. New plants and vines started to form in a quicker pace as she listened to Simon's story. She really didn't stop to look at him at first but instead she sniffed the flowers that started to bloom. The story was sad and tragic to hear how brothers could turn on each other.
When he mentioned past lovers, her eyes teared up as she finally looked over at him. Having lost many lovers before her was sad but it also made her realize just how short her own life was. She would get to grow old with Simon and go gray in the hair. Instead they would never see those days it seemed and by being with him she may as well have placed a target on herself. Queenie always wanted to find love and just live that happily married life. Now everything was just spiraling out of control. The vines of her precious plants started to circle around her.
He was in love with her and she couldn't deny she had loved him since she met his gaze that day. Now the happy ending she dreamed about seemed to be on the rocks and after the dreams becoming more frequent. "I love you Simon... there never was anyone else for me...I just...im not sure of anything anymore..." The voice she spoke in was clearly upset as she started to sniffle. Her plants vines had started to encircle her in a cocoon of sorts. "I had hoped we would spend our lives together and grow old. Seems I'm just the chapter of the century."
With her final words the vines encased her completely and the plant started to grow higher and higher. The ball of vines just lingering in the air as she curled up inside trying to calm her panic. It seemed that Freya had started to tap into her dream-world connection and as queenie fell asleep a plant had already begun to grow. This flowered species produced a toxic barb powerful enough to kill most. "They're mine!!" The of freya had spoken and it caused her to wake quickly. As she lowered back to the ground she saw the plant and quickly darted between it and simon. The barbs flew into her neck and shoulder. The shallow wounds more than enough to deliver toxins.
