Infinity and Chaos: The Seventh Infinity Stone

Childless

Let me backup just a little bit. Why was I at the TVA and wait what? I am the queen of New Olympus? When did that happen? I know big puzzlers, and yes I am aware this is the same format I started my story the last time. I am having a bit of a life crisis at the moment so bare with me.

I should start with moving day. I hated moving day, and yet it was a wretched necessity. I told Poseidon I did not want the crown of Olympus, at least not yet, but he did not listen. I wanted to spend time with my mortal family. I wanted to live with them, to grow with them, to grieve and love with them until they died. I wanted the chance to be a normal human girl (who was sometimes not human due to inexplicable urges to be a different species caused by being the Emotion Infinity Stone) with a normal mortal life. I wanted to have the life that was denied me.

I guess I was being somewhat selfish after all they were Poseidon's family too. As king of New Olympus he could not rule and live on Earth, at least not fully. He could have a sliver of himself on Earth or in New Olympus but that was tiring. What made me loath this entire situation was that he did the most devious thing he could do.

He played the grandpa card.

He would flatter my mom, bringing her flowers whenever he visited, spoiling my adopted siblings with gifts and outings. Before I knew it my mom had quit her job somehow convincing me to do so as well and we were packing to go to New Olympus just before my birthday.

I looked around my now almost empty bedroom and sigh. Moving to New Olympus made sense. I would learn how to rule without actually ruling and Poseidon could be with the family as well. That did not mean I had to like it. I already lost part of my home when Grandpapa died and we had to sell his house, now I was losing the other half.

A knock sounded on my door. I wiped away the start of a tear before saying that it was alright to come in.

My adopted sister, Kiara, poked her head in, "Hey Al, everyone is ready to go we're just waiting for you."

I sigh again giving my room left with only the bed one last look before turning to follow Kiara out. When I do, Kiara is taken a little back by my appearance but does not question it. After roughly a year of being my sister she is used to me randomly changing species depending on how I am feeling. However it was hard not to be taken back when your sister who normally looks like a female version of Loki, all of a sudden having snake eyes, scales all over their body and face, with a frill and fiery red hair.

When we joined the rest of my family outside my mom gave me a worried look, "Al, are you feeling alright?"

"Yeah I'm fine, why do you ask?" I say protectively.

"Well it's just you have changed species again and you have been changing your appearance everyday for the last week. I can't help but wonder..."

"I'm fine." I repeat.

She purses her lips, "If you say so, but if there is anything you want to talk about, anything at all just let me know." She walks towards Poseidon who was finalizing our ride to New Olympus.

Curtis, my youngest sibling who was six years old runs up to me and jumps into my arms, "Al! What are you now?"

I smile, "That is a good question." I try to boop his nose but he doges my finger.

"You mean you don't know what you even are?" He asks.

"No I don't. I don't always know I just feel it and I trust that my feelings know what they are talking about. I trust them to make me what I need to be. Even if I don't even know what I need to be is!"

"I like your fangs and snake tongue." He says keeping his priorities straight.

I smile again showing off the fangs, "Me too buddy. I'm going to ask mom and Poseidon what is taking so long okay?"
