"You're very weak, doesn't look like training went well for you," you whisper as you wrap your fingers around Maven's ribcage, "burned out?"

"Har Har."

At least it put a smile on his face.

You love healing Maven after his one-versus-ones. He is not the warrior-born type like his brother. But that's what makes him so interesting.

You crouch over his sitting body. He sits up, his back propped by the wall. His long legs are spread in front of him, and you ghost over them. His diamond eyes look at you as your fingers shine his skin. The other Silvers chat on the other side of the room. You look over at them. You see Evangeline. You see Cal. You see Mareena. Maven sees the jealousy in your eyes.

"What do you think it's like," you eye the microscopic essence of metal in Evangeline's veins, "being a queen?" Being already fully healed, Maven just sits quietly.

"You can be queen."

"No."  You hitch a breathe, pulling your fingers from his slowly. You stand up together.

"Healers can't rule. We can't even participate in the Queenstrial." Another glance at Evangeline.

Just wait. Maven watches as you walk away. 

Just wait until I'm king. Then, I can show you what it's like to be queen.
