"Alright, alright, what was this great find you needed my help for?" Lilith asked, crossing her arms once she arrived on the Lost Revenge.

Harry simply grinned, gesturing to something that was laying on the table.

Staring at the needle wrapped in thread and different ink pots, Lilith glanced at the first mate. "You're gonna have to explain it to me."

"The Auradon kids call it a stick and poke. Something you can use to mark your skin permanently," The boy grinned, obviously excited at the thought. "What do you think I should go with? A hook? Or an anchor?"

"How about you at least sanitize it first?" Lilith suggested, shaking her head at the boy's excitement. "Where's Uma?"

Harry blinked, trying to remember the name of the place. "Curl up and die, I think it's called?"

"You mean Curl up and Dye?" Lilith asked, raising an eyebrow as Harry shrugged.

"Probably, yeah."

"What about Gil?"

"You said he could get you a pirate hat, so that's what he's doing."

Lilith sighed, facepalming. "He's still hung up on that?"

"Yup!" Harry said, still inspecting the needle and ink.

Rolling her eyes in amusement, Lilith walked towards one of the other tables, inspecting the maps the crew had been collecting. After all, if the barrier somehow came down, they would need to know where to go to do the things they want.

Sadly geography is not considered important enough by most villains so there were only small part of the maps that Lilith made her mission to piece them together. As soon as she even brought up the suggestion, Uma declared her the Second mate, in charge of navigating and updating any maps.

"How about this, Hook?" She called out over her shoulder, inspecting the maps. "You help hold this down so I get the map right even with all this swaying and I help you sanitize that needle of yours?"

"Deal!" Within a second Harry was next to her side, helping her hold the map down as she drew the entire map of the Isle of the Lost, marking every single street, shop, home and even the underground catacombs the crew had been exploring.

The map was coming together nicely, Lilith noted as she and Harry pinned it back on the wall.

"So?" Harry grinned, holing the needle ready.

Rolling her eyes playfully, Lilith took it out of his hands as they got to work.

About an hour later Uma finally arrived at the ship, staring curiously at Harry, who was hiding the back of his hand. "What did you do?"

"It's more so what did Lilith do for me," Harry smirked, proudly showing his captain the tattoo on his hand. It was simple anchor with the words 'Ride with the Tide' written across it.

"Yeah, at this point I should get paid for it," Lilith huffed playfully, gesturing to the rest of the crew, who-once they saw what Lilith and Harry were doing-insisted on having one as well.

Uma merely raised an eyebrow, looking at her crew. "And none of you thought to tell me?" She asked as the crew grew quiet. "Maybe I want one too," Uma's face broke out in a grin as Lilith grabbed the captain's hand.

"Come on then!" Lilith smirked before correcting herself with a playful tone. "I mean, come on, captain."

"That's more like it!" Uma laughed as Lilith got to work.

Uma stayed quiet for the most time, watching Lilith's steady hands get to work while the captain thought of something she could do in return. "Do you want me to do you?"

"One step ahead of you," Lilith smirked when Uma frowned, not seeing anything on her Second mate's hands. "Shoulder blade." Was all Lilith said while Uma nodded in understanding.

"Harry did it for you?"

"Who else?"

The two shared a laugh before chatting about the crew's progress. by now all of the Isle knew that the Lost Revenge's crew was not to be messed with. Not one single person dared to call Uma 'Shrimpy,' the Fish and chips shoppe always got tips-the customers were too scared of the crew not to-and most important of all, they all had a place to belong.

And that simple thing was priceless, not to mention the only thing that can't just be taken but has to be earned.

"Hey, wanna come with me next time?" Uma asked, making Lilith look up while she was cleaning the sea witch's hand.

"What do you mean?"

"To the Curl up and Dye."

"I'm not cutting my hair."

"Then try dying it, if you feel like it. I bet red would suit you," Uma smirked, making Lilith glare at her playfully.

"Geez, what gave that away?" Lilith chuckled, shaking her head but she had to admit, she wasn't completely opposed to the idea. But something like that would be difficult to hide, unlike the tattoo she specifically placed on her shoulder blade. Her mother would be furious.

But Uma could only make a noise of acknowledgement before Gil came tumbling down the stairs, pulling Harry with him.

"What the hell are you two doing?" Uma asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I finally found one!" Gil declared proudly, getting back on his feet.

Lilith crossed her arms and hopped onto the table, staring at the scene with amusement.

"You found it? I think you mean I found it," Harry smirked, pushing Gil in a playful manner that only got him a push back. Before the two boys started wrestling again, Uma asked them what exactly it was.

"Well-" Harry smirked, but Gil cut him off.

"Hey, I'm friends with Lilith longer than you are."

"Just hurry it up boys," Uma laughed, shaking her head while Lilith glanced confused between the three of them.

Gil grinned, gesturing for her to close her eyes, which she complied with with only a slight bit of hesitation. "There we go!" Gil declared proudly as Lilith felt him put something on her head. "Told you, it fits perfectly!"

"Not bad, not bad at all." Uma hummed.

"Can I open my eyes already?" Lilith chuckled when the three yelled yes at the same time.

"Harriet wanted to throw it away cause it had some tears but nothing this guy can't fix it," Harry smirked, slinging one arm over Gil's shoulders as Lilith inspected the hat.

With a small smile, she adjusted it so it didn't obscure her vision while she hugged the two boys. "Thanks."

"Hey, where's my hug?"

"For what?"

"The suggestion to dye your hair?"

"Uma, I swear to Lucifer-Gil, Harry, stop laughing!"
