To protect her

{ Semi-plotted Princess!Amelia starter for @conflictandcontrol }

——————————————————

Having something - or, in their family’s case - someone, of a mix of both magic and of science made, would be something seen as odd in any time period. Fortunately enough for them, they were royalty. Descendent from the fae that used to live in the land, their daughter was the main one of the three who actually ended up carrying on the bloodline the strongest: she had been born with the ability to see souls. An ability not seen in more than a few hundred years, the last known to have it was a very revered and respected fae; one who held a strong resemblance to the princess, though she would not know it.

Around the time when she was four years old, an attack on the royal family left her without her sight. The sight of her eyes, anyway. In spite of the unknown assailant, Amelia retained her soul-seeing ability. And she saw their soul that day...so she knows who it was who hurt her.

In the wake of that attack and many other unsuccessful ones, her parents decided that they wanted to find a protector for Amelia. Not just anyone could be trusted, though, so the king and the queen sought out the best possible person for the job. It was not something that they took lightly; nor was it something that they paid a little amount for.

It had taken quite a few years, since their commission of the butler/guardian for their daughter. Today, however, was the day set to be for Amelia to come and meet him. However, she was out in the gardens again. Amelia had never let the lost of her eyesight stop her from getting into trouble. True to the ancient DNA that she carried, she loved to be outside. Which, was why she was definitely not going to be on time for the surprise that her parents had told her about.

@conflictandcontrol continued from here

Suspected it, he did. But he hadn’t actually expected that Loki would reveal the cube so readily to him. He imagined that it might’ve taken weeks; months… maybe even years to earn that level of trust in order to ensure that the Tesseract wasn’t being used for foul-play and… Well. Sometimes Vision could be surprised. “…I am… flattered that you trust me so. But why have you held onto it? For emergencies?” A part of him wanted to keep a… moderate distance from the artifact. Something about it was making the stone in his head - not visible at the moment - react oddly. But he tried to keep it under wraps.

It hadn’t taken years, no, but a few months for Loki to reveal it. Vision simply had something about him that even the most distrusting creature on Earth felt swayed toward. Vision was objective and rarely judged without sufficient evidence. He had a refreshing neutrality, particularly in having been ‘born’ after all the inconvenient troubles Loki had caused or been involved with. Furthermore, Loki was curious about what they might learn with Vision so connected to one of the Stones, and one that had been so close to himself.

“I.. yes. I couldn’t have left it on Asgard. I feared if I did that it would either be destroyed and leave us vulnerable, or worse, that it would survive and Thanos would claim it from Asgard’s ruins.” Something he was not saying was that there was the chance he could use it as leverage to protect himself from the promised punishment for failing Thanos. “The universe has been strangely quiet and I pray it is for good reason.”

“well, well, if it isn’t the famous VISION himself.” safely behind bars sits the INFAMOUS otto octavius, though perhaps a little worse for wear. his coat is worn and burnt, his hair mussed. behind those dark sunglasses, two eyes stare sightless, at the hero. one arm perches above his shoulder, its red optic burning into the other instead. “come to laugh? gawk? ask questions? i’m certainly not GOING anywhere.”

 There was a long dramatic pause before Peter actually finally spoke up. 

“So like does a killer stone jammed into your face itch or is it just like an annoying glowing pimple you try to ignore?”

He came home after a failed attempt of getting Steve to sign the Sokovia Accords. He had Wanda here and she was safe with Vision, the situation seemed half under control and then... not at all. He threw his keys onto the desk and moved into the living room, dropped himself onto a sofa and sighed, rubbing his face. He needed some sleep, some rest, needed half of the Avengers to understand why the Accords weren’t such a bad thing. 

He was afraid to lose everything he had managed to build up til now. He didn’t want to fight against S.H.I.E.L.D or the government, he just wanted to play along and be done with it. Resisting their orders could tear the Avengers apart and it was terrifying in a way. They had come so far but now it seemed closer to a disaster than much else.

He dropped his hands into his lap, suddenly sensing motion in the room behind him. He could see Vision’s reflection in the glass of a framed picture on the wall. “I’m sorry, Vision.” He said, sounding defeated. “I only got bad news.”

@conflictandcontrol liked for a starter! 

          “sometimes it’s just hard to be the hero all the time, i’m just a kid, y’know? i’m bound to make stupid choices--and when i do i feel like the world will be watching and it’s so much on my shoulders, man.”

@conflictandcontrol starter!

“oh come on, get in the car.” tony poked his head out of the window now it was done being lowered. “you can’t stay here all night. well okay, you can but it’s gonna be boring. i promise you’ll have more fun if you come out with me for a while. just a couple hours? that’s all i’m asking.” he reached over grabbing the handle for the other door to open it up. “pretty please? don’t make me beg.”

@conflictandcontrol is owed a starter!

» 💔 ||  Theo’s not looking up from his paperwork when the other walks into the Sanctum, too busy trying to figure out how to alphabetize someone whose name couldn’t be pronounced by human tongues.

“Hey, sorry, unless you’re an Avenger or it’s an emergency, the doctor’s not taking appointments today. If you did have an appointment and you didn’t get my call earlier in the week, I can see about moving you to another time--”

Theo stops short, finally looking up, and his chest seizes with anxiety when he sees who it is. “--Oh. Oh! I am so sorry, I didn’t realize--

“...Hey, aren’t you the guy that’s dating Otto?”
