SAVE ME

Another world

Vanessa's POV

I grab Gabe and nod at the bags, sending a guard to grab them. I face the other avengers, and smile, heading for the portal. "Don't be afraid, it won't bite you." I say, standing next to it. Thor enters the portal without a second thought. I give a small chuckle, smiling. I look over at Steve, who looks a little green. "Come on, man with a plan." I tell Steve, holding out my hand to him. He reaches for me, grabbing my hand, giving it a small squeeze. I see a guard looking between Steve and my hands. I give a small cough, causing him to look up at me. His eyes widen when he spots me having caught him staring. I wink at him, causing him to blush and look away. I drag Steve after me, heading for the portal. I stop, and make him stand so that hes facing away from the portal. I give him a wink and place my foot behind his ankle. At the last moment, I give him a light shove, pushing him into the portal. I giggle, then turn to face the rest of the hero circus. I wave my hand, giving them all a nod of my head in respect. After my quite farewell, I jump into the portal, colors swirl around me and I give a cry in excitement.

When I see the other side of the portal, I prepare for landing. My feet land quietly on the black glass floor. I look up to see that we were dropped off in the throne room. I spot my younger brother, sitting upon a throne. He's bigger than I remember him. I turn to spot a maid who I could never forget. Grace was my nanny growing up. Grace is a short older woman who looks about forty and has thick silver hair. I walk over to her, giving her a quick hug. I see her eyes light up at the bundle in my arms. "Grace, I need a big favor. Can you watch my son? It's just till everything is settled." I ask the woman. Grace smiles and nods her head. Did I forget to mention that Grace is mute? She has been sense my parents death. I hand over Gabe, who somehow slept through the portal ride. I see her leave out one of the side doors, letting me concentrate on whats going on.

I turn to notice that everyone is on one knee, bowing towards the front of the throne room. I look up to the throne to see my brother, sitting on his throne. I notice that Steve and Thor look out of place kneeling on the ground, bowing before a twelve year old. Well, ok, on my planet he's only twelve. On Earth, he's like, a couple hundred years old. I see his gaze slide over the court till they rest on me, the only one that can not bow. My mark keeps me from bowing to lower rank. I can feel the eyes of the court as they start to whisper. "Why is she not bowing before the king?" "Such disrespect." "Is that who I think that is?"

My brother raises a hand, instantly silencing the people. I can see a slight smile cross his lips before a clear look crosses his face. "Why do you not bow before the current king of Gallifrey?" My brother asks, looking me in the eyes. I wink and start to walk toward him. "My dear king, I come with glad tidings." I say, spreading my arms out, twirling on my toes, doing a 360. "What are these glad tidings? May I ask." He banters back, standing from his throne. I start to slide my jacket off, tossing it to a guard, having it land on his face. Sadly, he's not allowed to move unless told to. Whoops. "I bring word from the planet Earth." I reply, standing up to be next to him. "What is this word?" He says, taking a step down a stair, showing the court that I was of higher rank then him. I Take a seat in the throne, smiling at my brother who now bows to me. " Thanks for keeping my seat warm." I say with a smirk, slouching in the seat.

I hear a lot of gasps as they see my now bare shoulder with the crown mark on my shoulder. My brother keeps walking to he is on the main floor, taking off his crown and robes. I see Thor giving me a slight smile, knowing what is about to happen. I close my eyes as my brother bows from the waist. Him being family keeps him from taking a knee. I hear my brother take a deep breath, then with a loud voice, he screams. "The king is gone, long live the queen!" I suddenly hear a lot of hoots and gasps of surprise as some recognize me from my younger days. I stand. looking at my court.
