Bite my tongue, bide my time Wearing a warning sign Wait 'til the world is mine Visions I vandalize Cold in my kingdom size Fell for these ocean eyes You should see me in a crown

ziva couldn’t help but roll her eyes. everyone in this school was so full of themselves, but she supposed that was typical in a school of nepotism children and protegees. “ breathe, “ the mutant said in an eerily calm manner. “ i could quite literally care less about what’s going on in your head, though it sounds like it sucks. “ a pause. “ you’re blocking the path, but i’d much rather stay and listen to you. “

“Oh” She moved aside, relieved in a way to meet the eyes of a stranger. “My apologies. I just despise hovering” Mira explained with a gentle nod. She had no patience for people that hesitated and had always believed that individuals should speak their minds. Otherwise, what was the point? “There’s nothing to listen to. I don’t have anything of interest to say” she shrugged weakly, not used to such a kind gesture from anybody besides Warren. “What’s your name, by the way?” She didn’t look overly familiar, and Mira was typically rather good with faces.

“Don’t be too flattered. This is a direct order. If it were up to me, you’d chum for the kraken. ” she smiled back, but her eyes were full of fire. Ignoring her sister’s almost effective way at getting under her skin, Marina pressed on. “Father wants you to come home.” she finally spoke the reason for her sitting down. “Neptune knows why and somehow it’s my job to bring you there. But I’d rather lay out in the Sahara desert.” Okay was it a tad bit dramatic? Yes. But at least the drama helped with the twitch to jump across the table and strangle her. “So I’ve decided that you are simply no longer worth the effort. You’ll ruin everything yourself, just like you always do and I won’t have to do a thing!”

“Well…You always have been nothing if not consistent” Mira regarded her with a sigh. Despite Marina’s blatant aversion to being similar to her older sister in any ways that she could help, neither of them could deny that they each possessed the same headstrong tenacity when it came to achieving their goals - even if their goals could not be more opposite if they tried. Her sister would never forgive her, but Mira wasn’t certain that she could ever forgive herself either. Not after all that had happened. “Fake smiling at me like that is just unsettling though. Say what you mean with your chest, coward. Otherwise - Don’t waste my time” she scoffed, giving a roll of her eyes. Finally. A reason for the unwelcome disruption. “Oh, I’m not going home” she stated, mind made up on the matter long before the gesture had come her way. Atlantis hadn’t been home to Mira since she had left all of those years ago and there would be too much haunting her there. “You’re pathetic, Marina” she shook her head as if she were disappointed. Perhaps she was. “Is that all?”

Closed starter for @miraofatlantis​

“humor me. what are you drinking?” Marina asked, sitting across from her sister, trying her best to be casual. Emphasis on trying. Despite her relaxed posture, her knuckles were white from clutching the side of her chair. Her time at home was anything but relaxing. Her father practically put her through the ringer about her elder sister. Saying she needed love and support. As if. The only thing Mira needed was the end of blade. YEARS and YEARS of training her to put the kingdom first and when she did she was being punished for it? It was bullshit.  Find a way to bring her sister home? She’d rather die. But that’s what it would take to keep her position then that’s what she had to do,  “Relax, it’s not a trick. That’s your thing. Not mine.” 

Mira blinked in surprise as her sister came into view, schooling her surprised expression quickly as she watched the other curiously. “You know...For somebody that claims to hate me so much, you sure do seem to make a habit of seeking me out, little sister” Mira smirked softly, stirring her drink a few times with her straw before she sat back, taking a long sip as she waited. Marina would never reveal an ulterior motive without being pressed, but she couldn’t help but hope for a hint as to what the younger was up to. “My, my. So catty today” she pretended to chastise her, knowing it would push her buttons. It was almost too easy. “And here I would have thought that a break would have done you some good”

She still seemed a little off but he figured he just wasn’t trying hard enough to brighten her mood. Mira began to tease him and Warren’s cocky grin only widened. The corners of his eyes crinkling with delight. “Very funny. I know you like me and it’s just a matter of time before you admit it.” Wren told her like it was an inevitable fact. He leaned forwards almost mischievously before speaking, “I would have rather had some quality bonding time with you.” His father would forgive him for that one- he was the one he learnt all his lines from anyway. Warren nodded his head “Yeah! Have you ever been in the sky before?” He asked her gently. “I’ve had a lot of loves… but the sky was my very first love. You’ve never known freedom until you’ve been up there. I’m always my happiest when I’m flying. Before you get too spooked. I’m very strong. I’ve only ever dropped one person… and they deserved it.” 

“You seem really confident about that” she chuckled, beginning to shake her head when he leaned in close and she momentarily forgot how to breathe. Warren was breathtakingly handsome which was not something that he needed her to tell him but something that caught her off guard more often than she preferred and her cheeks flushed as he whispered to her as if it was some kind of secret. She thought about it for a moment before she leaned over, pressing a kiss to his cheek before she settled back into her seat. “I would never ask you to stay here with me when there’s so much to do outside of these walls” But still, the thought that he wanted to made her heart leap in her chest. “No...I feel like nature practically forbids it given that I was born to be in the water” Mira shook her head. “Then again, I’ve never liked being told that I can’t do something, so” She would do it to make him happy, heart already melting at how passionately he talked about flying and perhaps she would even enjoy it. “That sounds fun...I don’t think I want to know what they did to deserve falling, though”

“Hey, that’s alright. We all have those days.” Warren replied, swiping the air with one hand as if he was swatting away any negative feelings that could have been between them. He was never one to dwell on bad attitudes. Especially not when she didn’t mean it towards him. Besides, all he wanted to do was melt away her stress with a smile and a kiss if she’d allow it. She giggled and he immediately brightened. His heart quickening like the beat of humming bird wings in his chest. All the while, his real wings (out in the open like they almost always were) fluffed up with excitement. “Of course I did! You missed me too right? Come on, you can admit it.” He teased with a grin. “I did. My mother was out doing some hero work with Hawkeye.” He said before shrugging. “So I spent it with my father. It’s nice to have a flying buddy. Maybe I should take you sometime… if you’d like?” 

“Yeah...” Mira nodded gently, unable to understand even now how he could be so kind to her after the things that she’d done. He didn’t seem to care at all what was in her past, in fact, and she almost envied how easily he had managed to move past it when it felt as though she was still chained to her mistakes. “Miss you?” she pretended to be confused, raising a brow. “Who are you again?” she teased, her smile growing into a larger grin as she rolled her eyes playfully. Of course she has missed him but she couldn’t bring herself to admit it out loud. Couldn’t acknowledge the way that he had invaded her every thought while he’d been gone. “That’s cool. I’m glad you had some quality bonding time” she nodded, smiling still. She remembered when she used to practice her powers with her father when he had the time, the look on his face at parent’s night shooting a new pool of guilt into her stomach as she shook her head, deciding to focus on Warren instead. “To fly?”

[miraofatlantis]

flyingeros​:

“Whoa, whoa.” Wren said suddenly, holding up his hands and giving her a smile.”I didn’t mean to ruffle your feathers, baby.” He tried to assure her. Moving from where he was standing to sit beside her. Wren pulled one leg up to cross in front of him and relaxed in the spot next to her. It was clear that someone had gotten on her nerves today. Although it was true that she could be easily riled up… he’d seen her real self plenty of times before. Her beautiful smile, her carefree laugh… How could anyone think she was evil? Just because she made a few mistakes. “I was just admiring you from afar. I missed you, Mir.” He soothed with a smile on his lips. 

Mira began to relax at the sound of Warren’s voice before immediately tensing again as she remembered that she was supposed to be avoiding him. He was getting too attached and worse yet, so was Mira. “Sorry” she replied softly when he sat down, making it clear that getting rid of him was going to be a challenge. “I’m a little cranky today, I guess...I didn’t sleep well last night” she explained, turning her body towards him as she spoke. While it wasn’t ideal to be locked in over break, it had also been weirdly peaceful not having any professors breathing down her neck for a short while. Knowing that was going to be over had made her restless and each time she had managed to drift off, she’d been woken suddenly by nerves. “You did?” she asked, hating the way that her body betrayed her as she smiled, a giggle leaving her to add insult to injury. “Did you have a good break?”

Open Starter!

“I’m not in the mood to be accused of more things that I didn’t do” Mira huffed, dropping the hand that she had been using to turn the water in her glass to ice as she let it rest in her lap. She had sensed somebody standing close by before she had heard their breathing and her mind instantly went to Marina. Her sister, unlike their father, had not forgiven Mira for the part that she played in what had happened at Atlantis and Mira was not naïve enough to believe that she would not exact her revenge given the right opportunity. “It’s rude to hover, you know2 she continued, still not turning her head. “So if there’s something you wish to say to me, I’d prefer that you come out with it already”

“I do not know of this scan to which you speak but images seldom tell the truth I have found, particularly the bright ones.” Floating colors with floating meanings that could easily be turned about in a second’s notice with the right flail. “Chemicals.” He mused the word. “I’m quite good at chemicals, so easy, raindrops on roses and girl in white dresses and sleeping with roaches— so many least favorite things.” A giggle left his lips at the thought of those things in a formula and the outcome borne of a scream. “Most things aren’t all things and all things are so little in the end. Just more of the same, less of the more.” He rambled onward. “But what does an explanation do except confide you into a box? There forward you can no longer explore what’s beyond, they are terribly rudimentary and sometimes plan rude.” 

Mira liked knowing things in black and white, she had been that way for as long as she could remember, but listening to March ramble on now she could at the very least appreciate that while factually he was largely incorrect, he was also free. His thoughts weren’t limited to or defined by the same rules or science that hers were and she wondered suddenly if he was closer to being a genius or insane. “Alright, fine. You win” She was tired of talking about it and besides, she wasn’t too sure what more she could argue anyways.

“Isn’t that the truth all these goodies running around thinking they know the way the world works” Astoria sighed this place got on her nerves at the best of times. “Oh Ew, how very prehistoric of him to still give allegiance to people based on royalty” she rolled her eyes before smirking “We really should, also I’ve heard the rumor Martin Cobblepot has finally appeared here and boy does he piss off Emry~ Maybe we get him sloshed and he’ll tell us why the rivalry between them” she mused before nodding her head “I could use a nice evening”

“I’m telling you - I thought that I hated the way that they thought they were better than us before, but it’s so much worse when you have to meet with a sponsor every day which in itself is so much worse when your sponsor is somebody that you tried to kill one time...” Mira grimaced, shaking her head. To say that she would rather be anywhere but here would be the understatement of the year. “Oh? I was wondering if he would show his face” she smirked widely. “Sounds like a plan...something tells me he’s a lightweight”

[miraofatlantis]

flyingeros​:

“Really? I’m shocked no one else tried to take you out before.” Warren replied. “Or maybe someone has and I’m the only handsome one?” He teased. Knowing that was a little vain of him, but she said it first. He grinned to her as he answered, “I’m a fourth year too. It’s crazy we’ve never had any classes together.” He said. “What can I say? I like you already.” He told her. Although, if he was honest… he liked a lot of people right off the bat. He’d always been too trusting. At least, that was what Caroline told him. “Come on then.” He said before offering her his arm to take. 

“People ask me, I just don’t go” Mira shrugged weakly. She’d held no interest in dating and she still didn’t but he didn’t need to know that. Just so long as she was charming enough for him to like her and let her in, everything would go according to plan. It wasn’t even that much work considering that she’d been herself so far and it seemed to be working. “I don’t think that you needed me to tell you that you’re handsome, but...I mean. It helped” she laughed softly, rolling her eyes playfully. Typically Mira didn’t like vain people all that much, but there was something about Warren that wasn’t irritating. He was more than just a pretty face. “Yeah, that is surprising, actually” Although, she wouldn’t be surprised if she found out that her sister had, had anything to do with that. “Already? And I haven’t even pulled out my best lines yet” she teased, following him towards the place that he had mentioned. “I like you already, too”

“Nor do you have any for yourself or your family it would seem.” Dory shook her head. This was a challenge in life she was not expecting. Both Marina and her sister Mira Dory considered her family, they had grown up together. The betrayal she felt was something she wouldn’t ever forget and yet she hoped to help the girl who was lost. “Perhaps you will in time learn something here - there is good in everything and there is good in everyone if they wish to find it.”  Dory looked down at the notes handing them over to Mira. “Pick one you’d like to answer.” 

“Ouch, that really burns” Mira scoffed, rolling her eyes dramatically. There was a part of her that was buried down deep that felt remorse for what she had done to Dory - to her home - but she was ruled by the anger that Manta had set alight inside of her. Everything that he had said had made far too much sense for her to simply rule out. Nobody back home had appreciated her for all that she could do, always pushing her aside to celebrate her sister’s achievements. At least Manta had seen Mira’s potential. “Yeah, who knows, and then we can all make friendship bracelets and live happily ever after” she smirked, her tone mocking as she sat down with a sigh. “Fine” She looked over the cards, searching for the least invasive sounding question. “What am I hoping to achieve in my time here?” she read aloud. “I want to get stronger” She had failed before. She wouldn’t let it happen again.

 💏  Annie

…where it hurts.

Mira’s eyes grew wide as she realised that Annie had been caught in the crossfire of her powers and she was quick to rush to her side. “Are you okay?” she asked, eyes searching the other’s frame for any obvious signs of damage and it looked like she’d only caught her arm, thankfully. It would heal. “Here..” she listed her hand carefully, pressing a gentle kiss just above the small mark on her forearm. “Do you need to go to the nurse?”

[miraofatlantis]

…to wake yours up. (Ren)

It was initially panic that tore Mira from an otherwise pleasant dream before she remembered the company that she’d been in and she found herself kissing back, hand circling the back of his neck before resting at the nape of his hair. She hadn’t meant to fall asleep. She was supposed to be waiting for him to fall asleep and yet...she had just been so comfortable. More comfortable than Mira had felt in a really, really long time and she had drowned in the sudden peace, her eyes getting heavier and heavier before she could do anything about it. “I didn’t mean to fall asleep on you, sorry...” she smiled gently when she pulled away. Boy, this was going to be a lot harder than she thought. 

[miraofatlantis]

…for luck.

“Have you never heard the whole fake it until you make it thing? Confidence is like, at least sixty percent a perception thing. If you look confident then everybody will just assume that you know what you’re doing” Mira shrugged. “Trust me, it works every single time for me - Here” she reached out, hand circling the other’s wrist as she pulled her closer so that she could press an encouraging kiss to her cheek. “You got this, okay? I’ll catch you if you fall down. Promise” Mira certainly hadn’t come to this place to make friends but she had a soft spot for the other girl for some reason.
