One early morning, Hope was browsing the dark web for children. She stumbled across an article advertising a dynamic duo. Martin Stein and Jefferson Jackson. Firestorm. Hope knew that they were her children. She contacted the seller, and bought her children for a pricey 30 cents. Martin and Jefferson would arrive at her doorstep in a large cardboard box.
3 weeks later
Hope was overwhelmed with happiness. She'd never been so excited to see a package. Except for that one time she ordered a life size cutout of Tom Hiddleston. That had been the best day of her life. Hope excitedly ripped open the packaging and screamed in delight when she saw the top of Martins balding head. She yanked her children out of the box, and pulled them inside.
"Hi!" Hope said excitedly. "I'm Hope and we're a family now, even though I bought you on the Dark Web."
"I'm sorry, what?!?" Martin screamed, his hairs sticking up on end. "Wait, who are you? Why are we here? We're supposed to be in 1865!"
"I bought you fair and square!!!!" Hope yelled, her anger beginning to cause her face to flush. "You were so expensive!!
"We're people!" yelled Martin. "You can't buy people! Okay, I'm leaving now. Bye!"
"Noooooooooooo!" yelled Hope.
Martin and Jefferson walked out onto the street, where they were instantly confronted by Ursula. Her large tentacles filled the street, and a dark shadow overcame the two men. Martin retreated backwards towards Jefferson. "What do we do!"
Suddenly, a mermaid appeared, but since they were on land, she instantly began to die. Luckily, her death wasn't in vain. Ursula was distracted for a second, allowing Martin to shoot her with a laser gun. She dissolved into darkness.
"Lucky I had that gun," said Martin. "Okay, where should we go?"
The waverider suddenly appeared in front of them, and Jax and Martin raced towards it and threw themselves inside. Hope grasped onto the back of the waverider, and soon found herself inside the temporal zone. Hope pulled herself into the ship through a window, and found herself in a room with a typewriter, a bed, and a fire gun. She glanced around, and noticed that Loki's sweater was laying on the bed. She was confused.
Hope heard voices coming from outside. It sounded like a group of people were yelling at each other. "I wonder who that is," she said to herself, walking out of the room to go investigate. She moved slyly out into the hallway, and slipped down the hall into the bridge. She moved her body behind a large bookshelf, and observed the meeting from a distance. To her surprise, she saw her dearest husband, Loki, standing very close to Mick Rory. Mick and Loki's hands were clasped tight together, their fingers intertwined. Hope gasped in horror.
The blonde girl turned around and looked straight at her. "Who are you?" She said, glaring at Hope.
"I'm his wife! And he's not supposed to be here!" Hope said, her voice squeaking in anger. She was more mad than she had ever been. Her face flushed red, and she clenched her fists in anger. Mick moved closer to Loki.
"I wasn't aware of any wife." He said in his deep brooding voice. He slipped his arm around Loki's waist, and Hope cried out, and she could feel herself getting madder and madder.
"Well, Fine!" Said Hope. "Be like that! I don't care! I'll find someone else!"
Loki shrugged, unconcerned.
Hope stormed out of the bridge and down the hallway. The blonde girl ran after her. "Hey!" she said. "Where are you going?"
"Nowhere," Hope said, almost crying. "Maybe I'll just throw myself out of this ship and see when I end up."
"No, you can't," said the blonde girl. "You'll mess up time and stuff. I mean, even more than we've messed it up already..."
"I DON'T CARE!" yelled Hope. She ran back to the bridge, shoving people aside, and jumped into the captain's seat. She then steered the ship out of the greenish space and into some random time. Everyone screamed as they crashed into the ground of a lush green field, in front of some stables.
"Where are we?" Martin said.
Then the ship talked, because they do that in this story. "The magic land of Equestria, 2010."
"Great," said Loki with a sigh. "Well, I'm leaving-wait, who is that?"
In the distance, they saw a rainbow pony frolicking in the greens. Then a tall, brown-haired, gorgeous man went over to the pony and spoke to her.
"Is that..." said Loki.
"Is that who?"
The rainbow pony suddenly walked off towards a church in the distance, the man right next to her.
"It's my parents. Rainbow Dash and Tom Holland." Said Loki, his eyes growing wider by the second. "My parents told me the story of how they met. I only ever dreamed about seeing it for myself." Loki's eyes followed his parents as they frolicked through the field together. "They're so beautiful." Loki said, his voice full of love. Hope watched Mick and Loki lean closer to each other, and she raced out of the room, tears streaming down her face. The girl with the blonde hair followed close behind her, and took Hope in her arms. Hope sobbed into the blonde girls shoulder, and the blonde girl wrapped her arms around Hope.
"It's fine," said the blonde girl. "I'm Sara. I love you."
"You do?" sniffled Hope. "Oh...okay then."
And they embraced in a heartfelt kiss.
