Crazy Witchy story

(A/N: I own nothing and read last chapter.)
Everyone was silent as they went through a fold to Zambala all still processing the fact that strong and brave Will was dying… and they never knew it.
"Hello Ironwood. Can you please tell me if Kadma is at the palace?" Halinor asked calmly as she looked up at the fifty to sixty foot tall tree in front of her.
"Queen Halinor! Yes, Queen Kadma is in the palace. May I ask who you're guests are?" Ironwood asked quickly bowing to the blond pyromaniac queen who smiled kindly up at the tree.
"Please don't bow to me my friend. These are the new Guardians of the Infinite Dimensions, two of mine and Kat's old friends, and the rebel leader from Meridian." Halinor said kindly as the tree stood while most of the humans looked at Halinor curiously, Queen?
"Yes your highness. Do you need a lift to the top of the palace?" Ironwood offered causing Halinor to nod slightly.
"I would be grateful if you could lift the young guardian leader here, Will, up there at least. She would not be able to make it up the stairway in with her injuries." Halinor said putting a gently hand on Will's shoulder while the red head scowled slightly.
"Yeah she's a bit weak at the moment." Cornelia spoke up causing Will to growl.
"Weak my ass! I can climb up those stairs almost as easily as you can!" Will exclaimed with a stubborn glare on her face as she scowled at Cornelia before turning and beginning to slowly climb up the stairs.
"I swear you are as stubborn as Kadma and Nerissa combined!" Yan-lin called after Will who continued to slowly climb up the stairway, panting slightly in exertion while Halinor rushed up the stairs after the red head.
"Oi! I'm not that stubborn!" Nerissa exclaimed loudly earning a snort from Halinor and Yan-lin both.
"And I'm not blond." Halinor called over her shoulder as she tried to catch up with Will before the red head strained herself too much.
"T-told you i-I could ma-make it up here." Will said sweating heavily and panting slightly from exertion as she all but collapsed at the top of the stairs.
"I didn't doubt you for a moment sweetie. I just didn't want you to overwork or strain yourself with your injuries." Halinor said fretting over the red head while the others followed Will and Halinor up the stairs, all of them staring at Will shocked slightly or proud at how she made it all the way up there without falling or tripping once.
"I…didn't ov-overwork myself…I…just need a brief…five day…nap." Will said leaning against Halinor while Caleb and Nerissa were nearly flying up the stairway.
"Yeah five days is really brief sis." Caleb said looking at Will worried while the others finally caught up with them at the top of the steps a moment or two later around the same time that a tall woman holding a scepter and wearing a tiara of all things walked out of the palace.
"You'd be amazed how fast time flies when you're unconscious." Will retorted easily while the tall woman rushed towards Halinor.
"Hali." The woman said causing Halinor to look up and smile widely at the sight of the woman.
"Hey Kat." Halinor said just before she was wrapped in the other womans arms and kissed soundly.
"Where have you been? What's this about two of our old friends and the new guardians being here?" The other woman asked after she pulled back from Halinor who was blushing slightly at the wolf whistle that the kiss got from Irma and Nerissa, who promptly exchanged startled looks that made Will laugh. Will's laugh quickly became a cough as a few globs of blood came up, causing Halinor to break free from the other woman's hold and kneel next to Will worriedly.
"Are you alright Will?!" Halinor asked as she worriedly rubbed circles in Will's back.
"Yeah just friggin peachy grandma. Let me finish hacking up my lung real quick." Will said sarcastically, causing the other woman to look startled while Halinor winced a little.
"H-Hali why did that young girl just call you grandma?" The woman asked looking at Halinor questioningly.
"Because she's old enough to be my grandma and treats me like I'm her grandkid or something. Therefore I call her grandma, she hasn't said anything against it yet so I see nothing wrong with it. Why, grandpa?" Will answered instead, shrugging as she stopped coughing and looked up at the woman, Kadma she supposed, who jaw dropped at the title bestowed onto her while Nerissa and Yan-lin just about died laughing at the look on her face.
"Wh-Why are you calling Kat grandpa?" Halinor asked trying to stifle her giggles at her wife's reaction to her new title, trying being the keyword.
"She's married to you and according to what mom told me about her when she told me of the Guardians as a bed time story when I was little, she's probably the 'male' in the relationship. Therefore grandpa." Will reasoned bluntly and causing Nerissa and Yan-lin to laugh harder while Irma began laughing too and Halinor and Hay-lin were giggling up storms, almost literally in Hay-lin's case.
"Okay I think I took one too many hits to the head as a guardian. Someone mind explaining?" Kadma asked after snapping herself out of her shock as she merely stared at the young red head who gave her a small grin.
"I'll explain everything while you heal up our grandchild, dear. She has her arm broken in three places, her leg broken in four, and kemoe centered around her lungs so she needs immediate healing." Halinor said smiling slightly sadly as she looked up at Kadma who looked startled and worried at this.
"Why should I heal her? For all I know she could be a rogue Guardian that has enthralled or threatened you." Kadma asked looking at Halinor worried for a minute, although she seriously doubted this.
"Well first because she's an injured and dying child whose life you could save, second she's Rissy's kid and Rissy is likely to blast you to smithereens should you refuse to heal her only daughter, third her older brother is likely to run you through on his sword if you try to hurt his baby sister, fourth I see her as a granddaughter which makes her your granddaughter too by default." Halinor counted off of her fingers causing Kadma's jaw to drop while Nerissa and Caleb both nodded seriously in agreement with what Halinor had said.
"Also she's the New Guardian Leader, and has already helped save Meridian and defeat Prince Phobos. Then there's the final thing." Halinor added causing Kadma to gulp slightly.
"Final thing?" She warily asked, paling harshly at the sickly sweet smile Halinor gave her. The blonds response causing Kadma to pale to a light tan color while the others laughed or snickered.
"If you don't heal her I am making you sleep on the floor for the next year."
