Authors Note: This chapter is very short, but future ones will be longer. I'm just guessing how baby Lark should act, so if I make a mistake please tell me. Master Cyclonis means Lark's father until Lark becomes Master Cyclonis herself. The chapters will be posted in time order. Also, there will be death in later chapters, and it will be described, so should the rating go up when those chapters are posted?
Summary: This starts off 14 years ago and leads up to the present. Sort of drabbles about what happened in Cyclonia, mainly about Dark Ace, Lark and her parents. Hints of Dark Ace x Master Cyclonis, but no romance. Warning: Death in future chapters.
Disclaimer: I do not own Storm Hawks.
When I Grow Up I'll Conquer The World
Chapter One: The Microphone Is My New Friend
"But what if she gets scared? She's only ever seen us and a few nurses, this is a huge crowd we're talking about!" A woman paced back and forth, holding a small baby in her arms who looked like she was getting dizzy.
"She's going to be up on the stage with me, not down with the talons, plus there are rumours going around that I created a mutant child who is freakishly deformed. They need to know the truth." Her husband, Master Cyclonis, argued. "If she starts to cry I'll give her back to you and you can take her back to her room. She seems to like new people though, like that nurse who checked up on her last week."
"She just liked her hair." The woman remembered how she kept pulling the nurse's hair and once tried to eat it. She forced herself to focus on her decision and frowned as she stopped pacing. The baby shook her head to try and get rid of the dizziness, then, noticing her mother was troubled, decided to hug her to cheer her up. She attempted to wrap her tiny arms around her neck but ended up just clinging to her top. The woman patted her back and kissed the top of her head. "Oh fine. But if she starts crying, you give her straight to me." Master Cyclonis grinned, kissed his wife and daughter and left to organise showing his daughter to the talons. The baby yawned, resting her head on her mothers' chest. "Are you tired, Lark? Come on then, here's your teddy." She said, laying the baby down and handing her a small, light brown teddy bear, which the little girl cuddled.
Master Cyclonis stood on stage in front of a microphone, most of his talons gathered in a crowd to hear his 'important announcement'.
"As some of you may have heard, I do now have a daughter. She is two months old and in the future she will become the ruler of Cyclonia." Master Cyclonis cut straight to the point before walking to the side of the stage and taking Lark from his wife. Lark was dressed up in a tiny purple and black dress and a fresh nappy, and her mother had taken extra care to make sure she didn't dribble on the dress. Master Cyclonis carried Lark back to the center of the stage and presented her to the crowd. "If you do see her around, I expect you to treat her as you would treat me. Well, she might as well make a speech." He held her up to the microphone and she made a small noise. Hearing how loud the strange object made her voice, Lark continued to make noises and poked the microphone. She continued poking it for a while before hugging it, deciding that it was her new friend. The talons laughed a at this. Master Cyclonis chuckled a little, "That is all I have to say." Lark released the microphone and he started to leave until she made sad noises and reached her hands out back to the microphone. Realising she wanted to do something with it, he went back. Lark made an odd noise into it, which meant 'bye-bye' and slowly waved to the crowd, who thought she was adorable, despite the fact that they were supposed to be ruthless talons. She then repeated the strange noise to the microphone and waved to it. Master Cyclonis took her back over to his wife. "See, everything went fine."
"Yuck! I think she pooped." The woman exclaimed. Master Cyclonis sniffed her and quickly handed her to his wife. "Hey! It's your turn to change her!" Lark just poked her mother.
