Ariel hadn't wanted this.
She had been curious(she was always curious, she couldn't help it, she felt like she learned nothing no matter how much her tutors tried to teach her, no matter how many how many questions she asked). She was constantly escaping from the Golden City's palace- to explore, to forget the fact that she was the seventh daughter of King Triton. She and Flounder went to whichever coral reefs or kelp forests were near at the time, to the edge of the surface to almost feel the sun, to sunken ships if they were near, to the outer confines of the Golden City with grit and dirt in her hair so no one would know who she was.
That day she had been wondering and interested to see if the Sea Witch Ursula was really as scary and horrible as her father said. So she had snuck away the second her governess had been distracted by the actions of her older sisters. Flounder had followed her, her fellow friend, however, had not been happy with her choice of adventure for the day. But nonetheless, here she found herself, trying desperately to get away from the laughing and magic wielding Witch.
But, she was only a guppy, and the Witch's powers were too great.
AN: So yeah. I own neither the Avengers series or The Little Mermaid. This is just a plot bunny that wouldn't leave me alone. The fact that Disney owns Marvel Studios just made me think of them inhabiting the same universe, and boom, this comes to mind. I know I'm bizarre.
