"Peter... I don't think you understand. I'm not cut out to be some hero," Marilyn hissed, having pulled him aside as the room emptied. "Just because I'm here, doesn't mean I'm able to do this! I can't even swing a sword properly, you saw!"
Peter looked down at her, frowning, her dress dancing around her legs in a draft that blew through the stone room causing strands of hair to fly in her face,
an aggravated hand instantly appearing to swat them away as she glowered at him.
Her eyes swam with something not so much unlike fear, not that she'd let him see it for more than one second- but in that second, that moment, Peter heard a voice.

"just because some man in a red coat hands you a sword, it doesn't make you a hero!"

Peter sighed, turning from her to look at the wall, as she folded her arms, looking at him expectantly, piercingly.
"I don't know why you're here Marilyn, but you are. I may wave around a sword, but it doesn't make me a hero either."
"I'm not being funny Peter, you're a King. Hero is written across your forehead!" Marilyn snapped, running a hand through her hair and shifting on the spot, arms wrapping around herself as the breeze increased.
Peter huffed, squeezing his eyes shut and running his hand over his brow, exasperated- clearly.
"When I first came here I wasn't a King, Marilyn. None of us were heroes. It's what kept us together, not just my family, but the Narnians- my people. I've let them down once, I'm not about to do it again."

welcome to this peter pevensie fanfiction, written by yours truly.

i do not own any rights to Narnia- the book, nor film franchises- i simply own Marilyn and her friends. i hope you enjoy this little story of mine :)

I also don't own Heroes by David Bowie but it has seriously inspired this fic.
