Recess

Gus Griswald and Ashley Spenelli

Us Agent and new Captain America Gus Griswald and Spinelli as Ghost

Thunderbolt 2025 they have off I lay join the Toon cinematic universe .

MCU 2024 Gus Griswald's journey from a timid child to a valiant soldier and eventually the US Agent is a tale of courage, loss, and redemption.

Gus Griswald: From Recess to US Agent

In the playgrounds of youth, where fears loomed large,

Gus Griswald stood, his heart's courage charged.

A soldier at heart, in the game of pretend,

He vowed to serve America, to protect and defend.

High school brought challenges, friendships so bold,

Lemar Hoskins, Battlestar, their stories unfold.

Together they trained, in the army's strong hold,

Climbing the ranks, their bravery untold.

Sergeant Major Griswald, with honors so bright,

Was chosen by the government to fight the good fight.

To replace Samurai Jack, a legend so grand,

As Captain America, he took the command.

He was alongside with Wade ( falcon ) from Kim possible(fern the human ( wintersoilder )

With shield in hand, he faced the Flag Smashers,

Defending the values, against all the bashers.

But fate struck hard, Battlestar fell in the fray,

And Gus, in his rage, made the Flag Smashers pay.

Stripped of his title, in the public's harsh gaze,

Gus's path seemed to darken, lost in a maze.

Yet, the secret agency, with a mission so clear,

Saw potential in him, and drew him near.

The CIA's offer, a chance to rise once more,

To harness his power, to settle the score.

As the US Agent, with a new role to play,

Gus Griswald marches on, in the USA's sway.

Ashley Spinelli, once the tough kid on the playground, faced a life-altering tragedy that would redefine her destiny. Here's a narrative that weaves her past into the fabric of the Marvel universe as "Ghost":

**Ashley Spinelli: The Making of Ghost**

In the quantum realm, where science meets fate,

Lived a girl named Spinelli, with strength innate.

Her parents, brilliant minds, in their lab so vast,

Tinkered with particles, in experiments cast.

One fateful day, as the atoms danced wild,

A quantum accident struck, engulfing their child.

Her parents were lost, in a blinding light's fold,

Leaving Spinelli alone, with powers untold.

She found herself changed, in ways surreal,

Her body could phase, through walls it could steal.

A power surged within, a force undefined,

But with it came a curse, a balance maligned.

"Molecular Disequilibrium," the doctors would say,

Her atoms in chaos, in constant disarray.

Yet, within this turmoil, a hero was born,

As Ghost, she would rise, from the ashes, forlorn.

She fought Antman and wasp ( eddy) (mabel pine) Ed eddneddy and gravity falls

Thunderbolt Ross, with an eye for the rare,

Saw potential in her, a weapon to snare.

He offered a purpose, a chance to belong,

To fight for a cause, to right what was wrong.

The CIA, too, with motives concealed,

Recruited her skills, her fate thus sealed.

As an agent of shadows, silent and swift,

She'd harness her powers, the nation to lift.

Now, Ashley Spinelli, once a child so fierce,

Battles the threats that through defenses pierce.

As Ghost, she moves unseen, a specter of might,

A guardian phasing through the perilous night.

The Legend of the Aurora Dragons

In the coldest regions of the world, amidst towering mountains and endless snowfields, there exists a creature of breathtaking beauty—the Aurora Dragons. Known far and wide for their shimmering, iridescent scales, these majestic beings shift in color as light touches them, dancing between hues of pink, blue, and purple like the very auroras that grace the night sky.

It is whispered among the northern tribes that when the Aurora Borealis illuminates the heavens, it is not just celestial light but the dragons themselves, gliding gracefully across the sky. Their forms blend with the light, their wings outstretched as they soar through the frozen night. Only those who look close enough, and with eyes unclouded by doubt, may glimpse their radiant forms.

Legends tell that where the blood of an Aurora Dragon touches the earth, a miraculous ore grows—one imbued with the light of the auroras. Whether it be grass, stone, or barren ice, these glowing crystals rise from the ground, pulsing with the colors of the heavens. It is said that those who find and hold such a crystal are blessed with untold power, yet few are brave or lucky enough to witness such an event.

The origins of these enigmatic dragons are shrouded in mystery. Some believe they once lived among the stars, radiant guardians of the skies. In ancient times, they were thought to be dying stars, whose light had not yet faded, casting themselves down from the heavens before their time. Upon their fall, they took the form of dragons, their celestial essence preserved in the ever-shifting light of their scales.

Their eggs, too, are a marvel beyond compare, resembling glowing gems—crystalline orbs that emit soft, colorful light, reminiscent of the auroras themselves. It is said that when these eggs hatch, they do not simply crack open like those of lesser creatures. Instead, they burst into a radiant flash of light so blinding that no mortal can look upon it. In that moment of brilliance, the dragon emerges, fully formed, while the egg itself dissolves into nothing, leaving no trace of its existence.

Aurora Dragons are said to be beings of pure light, able to harness and manipulate it for their own purposes. Some believe that when all the colors of their flames unite, a portal to another realm may open—a realm where light reigns eternal and darkness has no hold. Yet, this remains a tale unproven, a rumor passed down through generations.

Though their true nature—whether kind or cruel—remains a mystery, the people of the northern lands revere these dragons. Each year, they hold grand festivals in their honor, believing that the sighting of an Aurora Dragon brings good fortune, health, and prosperity. Offerings are made, songs are sung, and fires are lit, all in the hope that these celestial creatures will look kindly upon them from the night sky.

(Aaaaand das what I got for now! I may reblog if you are to answer this and add the abilities this dragon species got! Hope ya have fun reading!)

OMG!! The writing!? IT WAS SO GOOD! It really felt like I was reading some old scroll or book or something!! Damn!

The dragons themselves sound really cool! And beautiful! Wow! The wording was wonderful, and it was an effective way to go into the dragon's lore!!

Into the Anthill pt 29 - Heroes Reborn

The Heroes Reborn event is set in an alternate universe created by Franklin Richards to save the heroes who sacrificed themselves facing Onslaught. I really wanted to skip this, but since the characters are still the real ones (just reality-warped with fresh amnesia) I couldn’t. It wasn’t really worth worrying about since Hank was in almost none of it and Doom brought them all back after only a year anyway.

My one positive note here was that I liked his Heroes Reborn costume a lot more than the one he wore when he got back.

🐜🐜🐜

Avengers vol 2 #1-4, 7-12

Hank Pym is introduced as the lead scientist in the lab on the newly founded Avengers Island. Since his previous lab assistant Vision was now a member of the Avengers, Hank created a new robotic helper to work alongside him: Ultron. Ultron would continue to upgrade himself to a new, more capable body each issue to better assist his father, but after Janet hit him for trying to be affectionate toward her and scolded him for calling her “mother,” his disposition grew cold. When Vision’s body was damaged and brought to Hank to examine, Hank tested out his new “micron gas” to shrink down inside him. Ultron-4 attempted to trap him inside by cutting his escape cable and told Jan he hadn't seen Hank all day.

S.H.I.E.L.D. eventually confiscated Vision’s body, unaware that Hank was still trapped inside in his Ant-Man suit and fighting for survival against Vision’s internal defenses. He found that Vision’s memory data was being downloaded out, generating copies of his old enemies to fight the Avengers. Hank was able to stop this and escape by shutting Vision down completely, but this caused a meltdown that nearly destroyed the Helicarrier. Reunited with the Avengers, Hank discovered a crack in the universe from which the real Thor appeared with his pre-Onslaught memories mostly intact.

Heroes Reborn: The Return vol 1 #4

Dr. Doom, Mr. Fantastic, Iron Man, Bruce Banner, and Ashema the Celestial worked with Franklin Richards to return everyone to their home dimension, allowing Ashema to preserve this world within her for eternity. Doom tried to steal Franklin’s power on the way back, but he was stopped by the heroes and their journey was successful.

Avengers vol 3 #1-4

The heroes who had been displaced by Onslaught and believed dead were doing their part to settle back into their lives when, all at once, Avengers all around the world were attacked by Asgardian monsters. Captain America, Iron Man, Giant-Man, Wasp, and Thor decided to gather together every possible Avenger to make sure they were all aware of the situation. Thor, who had discovered Asgard abandoned and the Rainbow Bridge lying in pieces, believed the monsters had spawned from places where the shards of the bridge had fallen. Turns out Morgan le Fay was in possession of the Twilight Sword and the Norn Stones, and she used their power to transport the Avengers back to a medieval-England reality warp. Scarlet Witch and Wonder Man channeled the power of every Avenger to defeat her, but Simon appeared to die in the process and Vision’s body was badly damaged.

Several days later, the founding Avengers met with their new federal liaison to reduce their roster down to a more manageable number yet again. Cap, Thor, and Iron Man signed on, but Giant-Man and Wasp returned to inactive membership again. Scarlet Witch, Warbird, and Hawkeye filled out the roster while Justice and Firestar were brought on as reserve members for training.

Minor/Cameo appearances from this period:

Fantastic Four vol 2 #12-13

Iron Man vol 2 #12-13

Captain America vol 2 #12-13

Uncanny Origins vol 1 #11

Marvel Heroes and Legends

Unlimited Access vol 1 #2-4

Untold Tales of Spider-Man Annual #1

Spider-Man Unlimited vol 1 #18

Thunderbolts vol 1 #11-12

Captain America vol 3 #3

This list also includes updates for digital only games, such as the Nintendo Badge Arcade, a game that will both be unobtainable and unplayable (legally) after March. (I may update this list to reflect these games later, but don’t count on it). This also includes updates for games like Animal Crossing

The listed requirements were generally taken from the eshop, (although I did have to take a couple of entries from the Data Management section of my 3DS). This is relevant because the listed requirements on the eshop are generally 1 to 3 blocks higher than their actual size. For example, according to the eshop the Shovel Knight update requires 1378 blocks of storage, but according to the Data Management section of System Settings it only takes up 1376 blocks.

If you are reading this before March 27th and are looking for other eshop exclusives to obtain, this video has some good recommendations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXWz3cSGFe8 . There’s plenty of freeware, but you can also add money to your 3DS account by linking it to a My Nintendo Account and using the shop menu in your Account Settings. You can also add funds via your Switch account (if it’s linked to My Nintendo) or by searching games on Nintendo’s website and buying them there.

Linking 3DS to My Nintendo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJJUstNDl8Y

#long post #art #3ds #eshop #This doesn't include free DLC that requires you to play the game in order to obtain it #If we're lucky I'll be able to create a list like this for Japanese New 3DS's #(forgive the links; I did not know how to add custom hyperlinks)

In the distant future, humanity's reach extended across galaxies, yet some mysteries remained. One such enigma was the legendary Guardian of Elara, a being said to protect an ancient forest on a distant, uncharted planet.

Captain Elias Mercer, of the Indo-China Steam Navigation Company Ltd., had heard whispers of this guardian during his travels. Driven by curiosity and the promise of untold treasures, he set a course for Elara, determined to uncover its secrets.

As the Icarus, his sleek interstellar vessel, approached the planet, Elias marveled at its untouched beauty. Dense, emerald forests stretched as far as the eye could see, shrouded in an otherworldly mist. Landing on a soft, mossy clearing, he and his crew disembarked, their advanced scanners and exploration gear at the ready.

Elias led the way through the dense foliage, the air thick with the scent of ancient flora and the hum of unknown creatures. After hours of navigating the labyrinthine woods, they stumbled upon a hidden glade bathed in ethereal light. At its center stood a majestic figure, unlike anything they had ever seen.

The Guardian of Elara was a woman of striking beauty and formidable presence. Her dark, blue-tinted hair flowed like a river of midnight, contrasting with her pale, flawless skin. She wore intricately designed armor that gleamed with golden accents, and a crown adorned with majestic horns sat upon her head. Her eyes, a deep, glowing amber, pierced through Elias, seeming to see into his very soul.

"Who dares to trespass in my domain?" her voice echoed, carrying the weight of centuries.

Elias stepped forward, bowing slightly. "I am Captain Elias Mercer of the Indo-China Steam Navigation Company Ltd. We come in peace, seeking knowledge and understanding of this place and its guardian."

The Guardian's eyes narrowed slightly. "Many have come before you, driven by greed and ambition. Few leave unscathed. Why should I spare you?"

Elias straightened, his expression sincere. "We are not here to exploit or harm. We wish to learn from you, to share stories of our worlds, and to protect the beauty of this place as you do."

There was a moment of silence before the Guardian spoke again. "Very well, Elias Mercer. Prove your intentions are true, and perhaps I shall consider your request."

Elias nodded, signaling to his crew to set up camp. Over the following days, they shared tales of their travels, the technological marvels of their time, and the vast, interconnected universe they hailed from. In turn, the Guardian spoke of Elara's history, its ancient civilizations, and the sacred duty she upheld.

As the bond between them grew, Elias learned that the Guardian was once a mortal named Elara, transformed by an ancient, benevolent force to protect the planet. Her armor, a gift from the planet's long-lost inhabitants, was imbued with the essence of the forest, making her its eternal sentinel.

In return for their honesty and respect, the Guardian granted Elias and his crew access to the planet's hidden wonders—crystal-clear lakes with healing properties, flora that could extend life, and knowledge that could change the fate of entire worlds.

Before they departed, Elias vowed to protect Elara's secrets, ensuring that only those with pure hearts and noble intentions could ever find their way to the Guardian's glade. As the Icarus lifted off, Elias looked back at the disappearing figure of the Guardian, knowing that their paths would cross again.

In the vast, uncharted realms of space, the legend of the Guardian of Elara and the noble crew of the Indo-China Steam Navigation Company Ltd. would live on, inspiring future generations to seek knowledge, preserve beauty, and honor the bonds between worlds.

Whispers of the Monochrome Muse

Once upon a time, in a quaint village nestled amidst majestic mountains, there lived a young artist named Eleanor. She possessed a unique gift, one that forged a beautiful union between her imagination and her brush. As the days unfolded, her enchanting artwork captivated the hearts of all who beheld it.

One fateful summer's eve, a peculiar package arrived at Eleanor's doorstep. Excitedly, she opened it to find an ancient sketchbook adorned with delicate engravings. Bound by curiosity, she set her eyes upon its first page, encountering a mesmerizing black and white drawing of a woman with long, flowing hair. She seemed to stand still as Eleanor studied the intricate lines and delicate shadows etched upon the page.

A mysterious energy emanated from the drawing, and Eleanor couldn't resist its pull. Late that night, she was transported into a surreal monochromatic world, resting somewhere between her vivid dreams and the realm of her imagination.

Amidst this new reality, Eleanor stood before the woman depicted in the sketch, her hair cascading like obsidian ribbons. The woman's piercing blue eyes seemed to hold secrets while her lips curved into a gentle smile. The ambiance whispered tales of untold adventures and hidden desires.

Curiously, Eleanor approached the woman, longing to understand the essence behind the intricate artwork. With each step, the world around her transformed, as palatial architecture transcended time and nature manifested in infinite textures.

A Poetic Ode to History

In the annals of time, where stories reside,

A tapestry woven, where history abides,

From ancient epochs to the present day,

Let me paint a poetic ode, a lyrical display.

In the echoes of past, we find treasures untold,

Legends of valor and tales of the bold,

Civilizations rising, empires in their prime,

The symphony of history, transcending space and time.

Behold the pharaohs, mighty rulers of old,

Their pyramids piercing the heavens, stories unfold,

The Nile's sacred waters, life's eternal flow,

Witnessing a saga of power and status quo.

From Rome's grandeur to Greece's golden age,

Philosophers and thinkers, their wisdom engage,

Through marble statues and epic poems so grand,

The birth of democracy, ideals taking a stand.

Medieval castles, knights in shining armor,

Chivalry and honor, like a radiant armor,

The clash of swords, on battlefields they met,

A testament of courage, a legacy not to forget.

The Renaissance, an era of rebirth and revival,

Masters of art, creators with a survival,

Leonardo's strokes, Michelangelo's might,

A canvas of beauty, transcending mortal sight.

The industrial revolution, a world transformed,

Machines and progress, innovation performed,

Factories hummed, forging a modern age,

Changing society, turning a new page.

From the trenches of war to civil rights fights,

Humanity's struggles, through darkest nights,

Champions emerged, their voices resound,

Equality and freedom, on their sacred ground.

And now we stand, in this moment, today,

A product of history, each step on the way,

Let us learn from the past, its lessons profound,

Shaping a better future, where harmony is found.

For history's tapestry, woven with care,

With every thread, a story we share,

Let us honor the tales of those who came before,

And create a world where peace can restore.

So, let us marvel at history's grand design,

Embrace its wisdom, let it forever shine,

For in its embrace, we find our true worth,

A legacy of humanity, transcending birth.

Silken Sails Masterlist | OFC x Multiple Marvel Characters | Pirate AU | Chapter 2 | The Legend of El Hombre de Hierro

Summary: Charlotte Liddell dreams of a life of adventure on the high seas. She sets sail for the Caribbean which ends up entangling her with the hunt for the lost Spanish ship Viuda Negra and untold Spanish treasures. Along the way, she crosses paths with British Navy Officer Steve Rogers and famed French pirate Loki Laufeyson. Will she keep her wits about her?

This Chapter: Charlotte has settled into life aboard the Hawk with Clint. After the death of the ship’s cook, Charlotte takes over duties as cook. The ship changes course to hunt for the treasure of La Viuda Negra and the famed Spanish pirate, Antonio Áspero. But they are not the only ones looking and they encounter the French pirate, Loki Laufeyson. How will Charlotte fare?

Warnings: violence, death of characters, sexual harassment, smut (sex), mentions of pregnancy, pirate typical violence

Life at sea was not what Charlotte expected. She wasn’t sure what she expected, but she didn’t expect to be heaving overboard every ten minutes. This continued for the better part of a week before Clint took pity upon her and gave her a spicy tasting root to chew on, soothing her stomach.

Once she got her “sea legs”, Charlotte spent most of her days exploring the ship. In particular where the cook stayed and prepared the day’s food. She was most comfortable in a kitchen of any sort and for another. The cook was the only man besides Clint who didn’t leer at her at every opportunity.

“Ignore them, my dear.” Clint offered when she brought it up one evening.

“It is hard to ignore ten sets of eyes boring right to your soul.”

“You must try.” Clint kissed her forehead. “They would never lay a hand on you with me on board.”

Charlotte squirmed at the thought. “I am certain but I still notice them undressing me with their eyes.”

“Rid your head of these notions. If their stares bother you so, perhaps you would prefer to stay away from prying eyes?”

“Where you suggest I stay?”

“The ship’s kitchen might work. The cook is half blind. And the rest of the men avoid it.”

Charlotte smiled. “I like the sound of that.”

Clint smiled back. “I like when you are happy. I hope you are as happy when we arrive at Port Royal.”

She stifled a shudder. Charlotte found her unexpected betrothal unsettling. She left Bristol to find adventure, not a husband and a life of keeping house and tending to children. She would need to find a way out of the arrangement, but for now her priority was to survive the voyage.

“Here is how I would use the salt pork.” the old man explained as he chopped the meat and slid it into the big pot.

Charlotte sat in awe as the half blind cook worked miracles with the modest food aboard ship. Crandall was the cook’s name and the amount of knowledge far outstripped anything she learned at her mother’s skirts. She spent every day learning from him.

“And this—” Crandall opened up a cloth to cough into. “will add the flavor.” He sprinkled a powder over the stew.

“And you sure you are well, Crandall?” Charlotte inquired. She seen enough back home to realize what was happening.

“Right as rain, love.” Crandall lied. “Now stir until bubbling.”

Within the week Crandall was dead, his body tossed overboard. And Charlotte took over the duties of the ship’s cook. The men soon started hanging out around the kitchen more and more.

“If I had realized the view was so nice, I would have stepped in here a long time ago.” A man called Mullins commented.

He ran his hand up Charlotte’s sleeve. She wore the breeches and shirts of a man with her dark auburn hair tied up behind he. Charlotte found her skirts cumbersome on the ship.

Charlotte slammed a hand down on the table. “Can I help you with anything?”

His lips curled to a smile, exposing his yellowed teeth. “Many things, love, but we would need to rid you of these…” He tugged at the shoulder of her shirt as he leaned on the table. “… garments.”

In a flash, Charlotte grabbed the knife and thrust it into the tabletop, centimeters away from Mullins’s hand. She turned around and landed a knee to his groin. “My garments shall stay where they are. And I suggest if you like to keep your body parts where they are, you steer clear of me.”

Mullins backed away in a hurry. From then on, the men avoided the kitchen and Charlotte. The weeks dragged on, and she settled into a routine, cooking by day and listening to Clint tell stories at night.

“The men are talking.” she muttered one night as she changed for the night.

“About what?” Clint pulled the blankets back.

“They say we changed course. That we are going on the search for something.”

“Have you ever heard of Antonio Áspero?”

She shook her head. “No… Is that some sort of pirate?”

“Only the most feared Spanish pirate to sail the Caribbean. The stories say he wore a metal plate under his clothes in battle. It earned him the nickname El Hombre de Hierro or Iron Man.”

Charlotte settled underneath the blankets. “And why would we change course because of him?”

“His last voyage was to deliver the dowry of a Spanish noblewoman to the Carolinas. They say the dowry’s worth rivaled the Crown Jewels. But the ship disappeared in a storm off the shore of an uncharted island. The men think they have found the location of that island in a logbook.”

Clint pulled out a folded piece of paper and showed it to Charlotte. “This logbook speaks of an island of wrecked ships not far off of the intended course of Antonio’s ship.”

He folded the paper again and tucked back into the pouch around his neck. “A treasure that great is too much for any man to pass up.”

Charlotte settled against Clint’s chest. His even breath soothing her. “Tell me more about Antonio Áspero.”

She drifted off to sleep in Clint’s arms that night, hearing of the tales of the Spanish pirate and his ship La Viuda Negra.

Charlotte woke to the ship rocking and rumbling. She dressed and ran up to the deck. A fog settled low on the water. The men scuttled about the deck as Charlotte stood dumbfounded. Clint bumped against her shoulder, carrying a bow and arrow.

“We are under attack, love!” He yelled. “Hide in the galley. If they capture you, tell them you’re Charles Liddell, the ship’s cook.” He kissed her and shoved the pouch into her hand. “Keep this safe.”

She nodded as she headed under deck and Clint climbed one of the masts, weapon in hand. Charlotte shut the door behind her and moved a barrel in front of the door. There was rumbling and cracking of wood. The entire ship threatened to tip from the shaking. A great boom shook the ship as the mainmast fell from a grapeshot. Then silence.

Charlotte backed up against the wall. The sound of voices muffled by the wooden planks of the decks above. The door rattled as someone on the other side of the door tried to open it.

She cowered in a corner and ducked her head as the wooden door splintered, and two men stepped through the door.

“What do we have here?” the taller man said as he caught sight of Charlotte in the corner.

“Oi, boy!” the other man with a scraggly beard gestured for her to step out.

Charlotte scrambled to her feet and pulled up to her full height.

“What’s your name, boy?” Tall Man asked.

“Charles Liddell. I’m the ship’s cook.” She recited just as Clint told her to.

“Young to be a cook.” Scraggly Beard said to Tall Man.

“The former cook died some weeks back. I took over duties.” She summoned all her courage. She prayed her true identity was not found out.

“Take him up on deck. Captain’s orders.”

Scraggly Beard grabbed her by the scruff of her shirt and dragged her out of the room with Charlotte’s feet scrambling for purchase on the floor. Once on deck, she was tossed towards the rest of the crew. Charlotte looked around for Clint, but there was no sign of him. Her heart sank.

“Gentleman…” a rich voice cut through the noise on deck. “… I am search of a specific item.”

The pirates parted to allow the man that Charlotte can only guess would be the captain to address them. Charlotte’s breath caught in her throat. The captain was breathtaking, with a long black and green coat and long raven hair falling upon his shoulders. Charlotte had never seen such a handsome man.

“Can anyone help me?” he grinned as he nodded at one of his crew grabbed the nearest Hawk crew member and dragged him to his feet. “You look like an enterprising fellow.” The captain’s lips curled into a devilish smile. “Can you help me find a logbook?”

The man, Nelson his name, paled. “All the logs are in the captain’s quarters!” he screeched. “I don’t know anything more Captain Loki!”

Loki’s head dropped. “Pity.” He raised a hand to the man holding Nelson by the arm. That man raised his knife and slit Nelson’s throat with no warning. Charlotte turned her head at the sight and gagged. “My men already checked the captain’s quarters and found nothing.”

Loki stepped forward as his crew pitched Nelson’s body overboard. The buckles on his belt clinked against the metal of his sword’s scabbard. “Anyone else ready to help with the location of the logbook? Or should I find another volunteer?”

The tone of his voice caused shivers to run up and down Charlotte’s spine. Surely he won’t kill us all, Charlotte thought. She then remembered Clint’s stories of the treasure and realized the pouch around her neck held what Loki was looking for.

“I can show you where it is Captain.” Mullins’ voice stated. “I can take your men to it.”

Charlotte narrowed her eyes at Mullins. She should have known the man would turn on Clint and the rest of the crew the moment it gave him an advantage. He was nothing more than mercenary.

Loki gave Mullins the once over with suspicious eyes. “Parks! Follow this man. If he does anything not to your liking, kill him.”

A man stepped forward and grabbed Mullins hard by the shoulder as Mullins led them down below deck. Charlotte knew where he was taking them, to the bed Clint and her shared. She gave silent thanks that she had torn her dress to rags weeks ago. Several minutes passed as Loki paced the deck. His eyes caught Charlotte’s, and he gave a smile which caused her stomach to flip into her throat.

Mullins emerged with logbook in hand, a broad grin upon his face. “Here you go, Captain. As promised.”

Loki snatched the book away with slender fingers, his hands ran up and down the cover. “Excellent work. Parks…”

Parks grabbed Mullins from behind and held a blade tight against his throat. “But I gave you what you wanted!”

“And you did so eagerly and willingly. I can’t have a man whose loyalty sways with the changing wind on my crew.” Parks drew the blade across and Mullins died with a gurgle.

Charlotte wished she pitied poor Mullins’s untimely death, but the man was a flea and in her heart deserved to die.

Loki gathered his crew and they spoke amongst themselves.

“What are they doing?” Charlotte asked the crew member closest to her.

“Deciding who they will take on board as crew from the Hawk.”

Charlotte’s eyes widened, she didn’t know which prospect was more scary, being left to float in the sea on the Hawk or being recruit aboard Loki’s ship.

“Liddell!” Tall Man called out. Charlotte rose to her feet. The other men looked at her with varying expressions of horror and pity.

Charlotte walked until she stood toe to toe with Loki. “Sir?”

Loki leaned close to her face. “Already compliant. I will like you. Our ship is in desperate need of a competent cook. I hear you may be able to fulfill that role.”

“You have the supplies, I can cook it.” She boasted.

“Confident boy, aren’t you. Welcome to the crew of Le Méfait. Find Quartermaster Moss and sign the contract.”

Loki stepped away, and Charlotte shuffled along with the rest of the crew. She found aboard Le Méfait and face to face with a gruff elderly man.

“Charles Liddell?” He looked her up and down.

“Sir.”

“Here.” He shoved a piece of paper underneath Charlotte’s nose. “Everyone gets an even share of our haul. Captain gets an extra share. Keep your pistol fit for service. No smoking.”

Charlotte’s mind swirled with at all the information coming in at once. She never expected pirates to be this organized.

“Oh…” Moss continued. “… and we settle all disputes by first blood.”

Charlotte scrawled the name “Charles Liddell” onto the paper.

Charlotte did her best to keep a low profile on board, sticking to the kitchen as much as possible. Unlike aboard the Hawk, the crew of Le Méfait kept out of the kitchen. Except for the Captain.

Loki Laufeyson believed it was his obligation as captain to observed the day-to-day operations of his ship and crew. He found himself more often than not lingering in the ship’s kitchen. There was something about the ship’s newest cook that intrigued him. He needed to know more about Charles Liddell.

“What is that delicious aroma?”

“Stew.” Charlotte answered, not raising her head to acknowledge her captain.

Every day it was the same. Loki made some excuse to spent time in the kitchen with her. She did her best to answer his questions without raising any suspicion.

“And where did you learn to cook such appetizing food?” Loki grabbed one of the knives and flipped it in his hand.

Charlotte searched for a plausible story. Telling Loki she learned at the skirts of her mother would create more questions. Loki’s eyes pierced right through Charlotte. She found his stare so unnerving and yet she did not want him to leave.

“Uh..” she fiddled with a nearby rag. “… Crandall, the Hawk’s former cook, taught me everything.” She hoped the answer would satisfy the captain’s curiosity for another day.

Loki leaned forward and plucked a cut vegetable off the table before popping it into his mouth. “He must have been a talented cook.”

“Thank you, Captain. Now if you’ll excuse me, I must tend to the flame.”

Loki nodded and turned to leave. Charlotte glanced over her shoulder. The tight breeches hugged the curves of Loki’s backside in a way that made Charlotte’s cheeks flushed. She was so distracted she allowed her arm to travel into the flame.

“Shit!” she screamed as she flailed her arm in the air in a vain attempt to extinguish the flames.

In a flash, Loki tore her shirt from her body and threw it to the ground where he stomped upon the fabric.

“Are you okay?” He asked as Charlotte cowered to hide her torso.

“Fine. Just leave!” she bit back.

Loki spied strips of fabric covering her body.

“Mr. Liddell, are you injured? We a doctor—” Loki reached for her.

“I’m fine, Captain! Just leave it be.”

“If you are not injured, then why…” Loki’s eyes widened in realization. “… oh.”

With her back to him, Loki plucked the ribbon holding back Charlotte’s hair and the deep red strands fall along the bare skin of her back.

“I have been blind. What is your proper name, girl?” Loki’s fingers lighted on Charlotte’s shoulder.

She turned, and Loki saw the tears on her cheeks. “Charlotte. Charlotte Liddell.”

Loki licked his lips. “Well my dear Charlotte, it is rare one can keep secrets so well from me for so long.”

“I’m sorry, sir. Please don’t kill me.” she begged.

A hearty laugh bubbled up from Loki’s chest. “And lose the best cook the ship has had in years? I think not.”

“But having a woman on board is bad luck.”

Loki flicked a lock of hair off her Charlotte’s shoulder, his finger traced her collarbone. “I have never subscribed to such antiquated ideas. You are of use to the ship, therefore you are welcome aboard.”

Charlotte gave a smile. “Thank you.”

“I won’t disappoint you.”

Loki’s eyes lingered on Charlotte’s curves. “I’m certain you would never disappoint me, dove.”
