Because I trust your judgement, how would Namor and Ororo's first meet go? I'm becoming increasingly invested in the possibilities of these two because we have a fine ass Namor and it's ORORO. I'm not sure if it would canon-compliant considering we still don't have 'Ro in the MCU, but like in your mind, how would it go?
Honestly, there are so many avenues it could go and I'll be honest I'm conflicted on how I'd actually want it.
(Mind you: I fully realize that this could seem creepy but Namor's reasons for coming out of the sea are pretty rare. So. It doesn't foster a typical meet-cute. Also sorry that this took so long to answer but also that it's not even done lmaoo.)
Option 1:
Namor catches a glimpse of her while training, She's sky-riding just letting loose and having fun. Perhaps she's on vacation?) and he's mesmerized because when has the surface world ever produced something so beautiful? Never, so then she must be divinely made. A logical deduction tbh.
He hears her relaxed melodic laughter and is CHARMED. He keeps a low profile because he doesn't want to be found out but also because he doesn't want to disturb her and also a little bewildered because no surface dwellers have flown without some sort of device in all his years.
He leaves Ororo feeling a little enchanted but sends scouts out just to be sure she isn't a possible threat. He is a leader after all.
They find nothing.
Then it's MONTHS until he sees her again and the only reason why he sees her is that a part of the ocean is being disturbed. Underwater twisters are getting a bit too close to Talokan and he needs to figure out why it's happening and put an end to it. He notices that twisters aren't being caused by the currents but from above.
So he ventures out of the ocean and sees that the sky is in chaos. Something in him tells him not to write this off. That a storm like this isn't natural. So he again ventures higher and ends up seeing Ororo.
Ororo is clearly distraught over something despite all the rain he can see the pain in her eyes and posture.
She was making this happen?
He slowly ventures towards her. He makes his presence known.
it takes her a minute to notice him but when she does the shock of seeing someone else in the air unaided by machinery snaps her out of sadness and puts her in defensive mode.
He does his best to tell her that he means no harm but it isn't until he shouts, " GODDESS, MY PEOPLE ARE IN DANGER!"
That she relents. She looks down and sees figures staring up and she's appalled. She does her best to calm herself down, and soon enough the skies clear and the only sound is the water below.
Then it's just them. Staring eye to eye
The moon was their backdrop. Her hair glowed from the light of the moon. Her eyes finally revealed a blue only captured after an intense storm. Skin shining like precious jewels. In all his years no one has made him so speechless.
She's the one to break eye contact. She gets skittish, clearly remorseful. He sees the shame envelope her. He isn't mad, more so worried. Not of the power, that this being possessed but of the cause of the unleashing.
What has caused a goddess such distress?
"I-I am...so sorry! I came here because I thought- Well, clearly I was mistaken." Quickly wiping her face, " Please, was anyone hurt?"
He tells her no. He watches her as her body relaxes, her eyes shining with tears once more but her mouth turns upwards into a grateful smile.
" Thank you, Bright Lady...and you, you've stopped me from making a tragic mistake." She whispers as she cups the front of her face with her hands. " Thank you, thank you, thank you..."
There was silence again before Ororo finally collected herself and looked directly at him.
He feels his heart beginning to race, and his mouth becomes dry leaving him unable to speak. She looks at him with wonder and warmth.
"The world is filled with such wonders. A people that live under the sea without detection...? Do not worry I will not tell a soul. Again, please forgive my disturbance. Goodbye."
She's about to fly off when he finally finds his voice.
" My name is Kukuklan." He did not tell of his other name, for he never wanted to be her enemy. "....and your name Goddess?"
He sees her become a little shy, which he finds endearing, but she answers the question that has been plaguing him for months.
"Ororo, but I'm no Goddess I'm afraid."
The name suits her perfectly, he thinks.
" Well In my humble estimation, no human could hold such power or even be worthy of such a gift. So I'm afraid...the title will have to stand. "
She smiles at him, shaking her head. " You're too kind. I've made such a poor and disastrous introduction and yet you compliment me. I should go."
" As I've said no harm was done, but if you really must go...I only hope your heart is now lighter than it was before, Goddess."
" Thank you." She takes the sincerity in his words for what they are. Trying to swallow down the embarrassment of being caught in a such vulnerable state. "If we meet again, I hope it is under much better circumstances. Goodbye."
She finally flies off and leaves the God King to his own thoughts.
By the next morning, another mural is added to his wall.
can you see Storm and Namor working well romantically?
They were together in an AU verse once!!!
Age of X: Alpha (2011) #1
Honestly I think they would work too well together, they are both royalty and have complimentary personalities, they both would see reason and understand each other well. However I don’t ever see it happening in the main 616 verse simply because I worry that it might would fuel more T’Challa vs Namor rivalry and I don’t want Namor to be the third wheel again like he is with Reed/Sue or was with Emma/Scott. But when Namor was with the X-Men he and Ororo interacted very well.
However for fanfics or shipping they would be great together, I mean come on! It’s STORM! ‘nuff said.
