23 || Royals

And we'll never be royals

It don't run in our blood

That kinda luxe just ain't for us

We crave a different kind of buzz

And let me be your ruler

You can call me queen bee

And baby I'll rule

Let me live that fantasy

"So... this is Aladna." Gamora says as we step off of the ship. My eyes squint as they adjust to the sun and I raise a hand above my face.

"It's very sunny here." I say. "Like, ridiculously sunny."

"Yeah," Quill agrees. "What's up with that?"

"Carol! How great to see you again!" A man approaches us, his arms outstretched towards Carol. She hugs him warmly. "I knew our paths would cross, I just didn't know when."

"Is he...?" Peter whispers to me. I stare at him.

"I think he's rhyming." I whisper back.

"No way," Peter shakes his head. "It's a coincidence. It's got to be."

"Everyone, this is King Yan." Carol says, gesturing to us all. "Yan, these are my friends."

"I welcome you all to my lovely home. This palace and land is yours to roam." King Yan says cheerfully, and his happy demeanor puts me at ease.

"Not a coincidence," I note.

"Thank you," Gamora says kindly.

"Yan, this is Y/N," Carol grabs my hand softly and plants me square in front of the King. "She might need your help." 

"It's so wonderful to meet you, my dear, whatever you need, I'll help you, no fear." He says, taking my hand. 

"T-Thank you," I say. "That's... very kind." 

"Y/N is an alien," Quill steps in. "We're trying to find her father." 

"Your technology is much better than the technology on Earth, where she's from," Carol says. 

"Earth does not have fabulous tech, that's true," Yan agrees. "Hopefully here, it's better suited for you!" I giggle a little at his rhyming, and he tilts his head, amused and confused by my laughter. 

"We don't have much time," Gamora warns. "We have a lot to do, and we're currently evading some... people. We don't want to put your planet into danger." Yan gives her a soft, warm smile. 

"Thank you for the warning, it really is kind. I promise to keep your time here in mind." Yan says, and then begins to walk into the castle, gesturing for us to follow. 

"You know what's funny?" Peter slides up beside me, grabbing my hand in his. I lean my head on his arm. 

"What?"

"This is the second castle we've been to in the past week and a half." I laugh at his comment and he beams. 

"I miss Nat," I sigh. "I was really hoping she would be there with Tony when he picked up the phone." 

"I know," Peter says, and I look up at him. He smiles again. "I could hear your heartbeat slow down when you didn't see her." I give him a funny look. 

"What do you mean, you could hear my heartbeat?" 

"I can hear you heartbeat. I have spidey senses, remember?" 

"I didn't know spiders could hear well." I say, and he rolls his eyes and huffs out a laugh. 

"Oh, come on, Y/N, you've had to have known about this." 

"The spidey senses I knew about. The hearing, you know, I thought it meant you could like eavesdrop on a conversation in the next room, I didn't think it meant you could hear the inside of my body." I reply, and Peter laughs again. 

"Well, for the record, I can do all of those things." Peter says matter-of-factly. This time, I'm the one who laughs, and once it dies down, I finally get a moment to look around the castle. 

It's absolutely stunning. 

"This is... wow." I whisper. "I mean, Karnilla's palace was nice, but this is... wow." In all the places Karnilla's castle was barren and cold, Yan's castle is bursting with life. People (talking in rhymes, obviously) chat with one another and bustle through the wide hallways, attending to their bussiness. Everything is so vibrant. 

Yan leads us down another hallway and I note that we're now being followed by a heavy amount of guards. He gives us a tour as we walk, pointing out bedrooms and portraits of his predecessors and introducing us to each person we pass. 

I like Yan very much. 

"We have finally reached the room we desire," Yan announces, and the doors magically open, revealing a large, white room full of technology and medical supplies. "There are lots of seats, sit down before you tire." Everyone does as we're told and I watch as a scientist in the back of the room bows in the presence of his King. They talk in hushed tones as we wait. Peter places a delicate hand on my leg and I finally realize that I have been anxiously bouncing it ever since we sat down. 

"There's nothing to be nervous about." Peter says quietly. "This is what you wanted, right?" I nod.

"I just... I dunno, now that we're here, and there's a good chance I could find my dad, it's just all feeling so real." I explain, and he nods thoughtfully. 

"I understand." He says. "It's crazy to think about. But think about it - you've done this before with Tony and Bruce. And if nothing happens from this, and this doesn't work, you won't be losing anything you had before. Stakes are the same. I will always be here, your mom will always be here, all of our friends, the Avengers, these guys, nothing will change. I promise." He removes his hand from my leg and squeezes my hand, and I melt, although there's something in the back of my mind that makes me uneasy despite his words. I bite it down. 

Carol appears beside me a moment later. "You ready?" She asks, and I nod softly. Peter gives me an encouraging nod and Carol leads me over to another chair in the back of the room. "I spoke to Yan, and he already told me this won't hurt a bit. You've been through more than a little pinprick or two." I grin. 

"Yes, yes I have." I agree. She laughs. 

"Well, I'll leave you here, and the doctor will be with you in one moment. It'll take five minutes, tops." She assures me. "But I can wait with you if you want." I laugh softly. 

"You are very, very nice for someone I met two days ago." She shrugs.

"I try," She says, and I smile again.
