Chapter Four: Darren is what!

Right in front of the castle

Scott looked up to see that the castle was beautiful with marble and everything. Luis looked at Scott as he said "Scottie Hood, it's a ball don't we need to look fancy" Scott looked at merry men as he said "What we're wearing is fine, now we need to find a way in to this place." As they looked around to see that there wasn't anyone coming until Scott spotted a balcony. Scott looked back at his men as he said "Okay we're going up to that balcony" but then Dave chimed in with "But how are we going up there." Scott showed them by pulling out an arrow from his quaff tied a rope around it and even without thinking it he had a bow with him. Scott's merry men did o sounds as he pointed at the bottom of the balcony and shot the arrow to the bottom of the balcony.

Scott pulled on it to see if it was not loose as he said "Okay here we go" then went up the rope with his merry men falling behind him. As they finally got to the bottom of the balcony Scott grabbed the ledge and pulled himself up. He then got over the railing of the balcony he helped out his merry men over the railing as well. Scott finally got a sigh of relief as then all four of them heard someone coming as they hid behind a bunch of bushes that were on the balcony as then Scott gasped at the site of the person that had just came outside on to the balcony that it was no other then Hope.

Hope was standing outside on the balcony as she walked up to the railing and looking up at the stars realizing how beautiful they were. As then she heard something from behind her as she turned around to see Scott looking at her in such a way that she didn't even recognized. Scott went up to Hope as he hugged her while saying "It's nice to see you" Hope smiled as she returned the hug back as she said "Same here Scott, but what are you wearing?" Scott stepped back as he said "Oh yeah this well I'm supposed to be a Robin Hood character in this fairytale" Hope looked at Scott weird as she said "Fairytale" Scott nodded as then Hank appeared saying "Scott, thank goodness you're here. . . . Wait why do you look like Robin Hood?" Scott turned round to see Hank as he said "Thank god you're here too I don't have to repeat myself. Okay Wanda was just here like an hour ago talking to me."

Hope went up to Scott as she said "What did she say" then Scott continued "She told me that we were sucked into a fairytale book that Amethyst had created and in order for us to get out we need to play out the story." Hope then said "So in order for us to get out of this we need to go with whatever the story is telling us to do?" Scott nodded as Hank said "Well that answered some things" then Scott said "Well for some reason Luis, Dave, and Kurt said something that you Hope won't like."

"Okay Scott tell me what is it" said Hope as Scott made a eh sound before he said "Well they said that you're my beloved" Hope looked at Scott angry and so did Hank as Scott put his hands up as he said "Look it's what they said, and they've been acting weird ever since I saw them." Hank thought for a second as he said "What if they're not real" both Scott and Hope looked at Hank odd as he continued "Look you said that they were acting weird right" Scott answered "Yes" then Hank said "What if they aren't really the guys that helped us with the heist that we did to make sure that Darren Cross didn't unleash chaos to the world. What if they are" then Hope finished it "Part of the book."

Scott got what they were saying as he said "Then Luis, Dave, and Kurt aren't really here" Hope smiled at her father as she said "I guess since they're part of the book we have to go with what the book wants." Hank was about to say something as then one of the servants appeared saying "My lord the people are starting to get worried as to where you and Princess Hope are. Oh Scottie Hood it's so good to see you again" Scott nodded as Hope said "We'll be there in the minute, please I need to talk to Scott some more."

The servant nodded as he went back to the ball as Hope turned back to Scott as she said "Let's get something straight I'm not your girlfriend and even though we're going with what the book is going with just remember that I'm not your girlfriend." Scott looked at Hope for the first time noticing how beautiful she looked, but only sighed as he said "Got it" then walked in the direction of where the guard went as Hope looked upon it with sadness. Hank went up to her as he put his hand on her shoulder as he said "Don't worry honey I'm sure he's fine." Hope looked at her father as she said "Cassie said she didn't want to see her father sad. . . . . . What if it's my fault that this happened just like last time" Hank then said "This isn't your fault honey now why don't we go back to the party." Hope nodded as both of them went back into the ballroom where everyone even Scott was at. Even Luis, Dave and Kurt followed Hope as well as Hank back into the ballroom as well.

Back in the ballroom

At the ball Hope saw everyone dancing around the ballroom floor with such grace that she still couldn't believe that this was a story. Then she saw Scott standing next to the food table drinking something as she looked at Hank as she was about to say something Hank stopped her by saying "Go ahead talk to Scott. I know you want to see if he's okay" Hope smiled as she kissed her father on the cheek as she walked over to the table to talk to Scott. There she noticed that Luis, Dave, and Kurt were there standing with him eating the food as Luis bumped Scott on the shoulder. Scott turned around as he said "Oh it's you" Hope gave off a sad look as she said "Scott I need to talk to you" Scott sighed again as he said "Look I get it you don't" Hope stopped him as she grabbed his hand in urgent gesture before she could realize what she was doing she said "Scott please I didn't mean to say it like that. . . . . . It's just when one of the servants said that this ball was for me to look for a husband I just."

"Thought to take your anger out on me, so why would you just tell me that in the first place" said Scott.

"Well how was I supposed to know that we were in a story, and well after I said that I realized what Cassie was telling you before we got here? That she didn't want you to be sad and I just wasn't thinking also just remembering what Amethyst do to you I just" said Hope as Scott looked at Hope sweetly. Scott placed his hand on Hope's cheek making her look into his hazel eyes as he said "Look Hope I am happy that I have my daughter in my life, also look everything turned out fine right. Eleabeth heal me and everything was sort of back to normal and even though this would probably be a confession to you. . . . . . But when we kissed just before your father disturbed us from it; I fell in love with you and wanted to so badly to ask you out on a date." Hope giggled as she said "But you kissed me first and then when" Scott laughed as he said "Yeah and he said that I was full of shit" which both of them laughed.

Scott got closer to Hope making their bodies touch as he whispered in to Hope's ear "I wanted to tell you that you look so beautiful in that gown." Hope nuzzled Scott making him smile as she whispered "By the way you look very handsome with that Robin Hood outfit" Scott smile like the sun at what Hope said as he lean into Hope's neck as he kissed her on it. Hope giggled as Scott made Hope lift up her face with his hand and kissed her sweetly in front of everyone at the ball. Then after their embrace both of them heard a voice say "Thank god Scott and Hope I found you!"

They turned around to see Tony Stark coming towards them; both of them noticed that Tony was wearing a burgundy suit with gold trim and navy blue pants with black shoes. Both Scott and Hope were shocked as Tony hugged them as he said "I'm so glad that I found you guys. . . . . . Something weird is going on and I really don't know what to do." Tony finally got done hugging them as he stepped to the side as Scott said "Oh well Tony you're in a fairytale, but this is mine and Hope's. Where did you come from anyway" Tony sighed as he said "The weird thing is I don't know. . . . . . . . All I remember is that I was standing outside in front of your dad's house Hope and then I got a call from James so I was trying to tell him that we were going to see your dad to tell him that something happened to you. Then all of the sudden I wake up in a castle where everyone calls me a prince; who in their right mind does people call me a prince. That isn't the only thing though" then Hank showed up looking at Tony, Scott and Hope as he yelled out "What are you doing here Tony Stark! I won't let you get the" but Hope stopped her father as she whispered "Dad he's not here for the suit. He's in the same place as us."

"Oh well I'm sorry for you know" said Hank as Tony smiled as he said "No problem oh and by the way nice party. . . . I mean ball" Hank rolled his eyes at Tony as he said "Thanks" then Hope said "Tony you were going to say something before my father came over what was it?"

Tony looked at all of them nervous as he said "Well" as then a man with a navy blue tunic and white pants with gold trim all over with a crown on his head. Then next to the man was a beautiful woman with a pale blue gown with crystal going through the gown and a crown on her head. The man smiled as he said "King Pym it's so good to see you" as then Hank gasped out "Howard Stark? Maria Stark" both parents of Tony Stark laughed as King Stark said "Oh King Pym you know who we are. Why so shock to see us" Hank tried to compose himself as Hope said "Well we were just surprised that you, your lovely wife and son come to the ball."

Tony gave off a nervous smile as he said "Mom, dad they didn't know that we were coming to the ball. Look why don't we just" then his mother Maria said "Oh honey don't be embarrass in front of your child hood friend Princess Hope" both Tony and Hope looked at each other odd as Scott said "Childhood what?" As Hank said "Oh yes now I remember we did send you an invitation. . . . . I'm so sorry with what was going on" King Stark waved his hand as he said "Think nothing of it we all have our busy days. . . . . Now why don't our children go out into the ballroom and dance for us."

Both Hope and Tony were going to say something as Scott said "Well actually I was going to ask the beautiful Princess Hope to a dance. My lady" Scott gestured with a bow and his hand out making Hope giggle as she said "Of course" then took it as he lead her into the dance floor. Then they started to waltz around the dance floor like a pro; while they did that King Stark put his hand on Hank as he said "I can't believe just how grown up your daughter and my son is. Soon they'll have a kingdom of their own and children to have" Hank and Tony swallowed hard as Maria went up to Tony as she whispered to him "Who is that man dancing with Hope?"

Tony looked at his mother as he said "Well that is Scott" then Hank said "That is Scottie Hood, and he's with my daughter." Howard and Maria gasped as Tony said "Look they are in love and I for one think it is okay. Besides he takes from the evil rich and gives to the poor." Maria nodded as so did Howard as Hank said "Is there a reason for you and your wife not dancing as well." Howard nodded as he said "Yes there is something we wanted to warn you about" Hank looked at them as Tony noticed that there was a black and golden light swirling around it. Tony yelled out "Scott, Hope get out of the way something is coming down."

Just as Hope and Scott stopped only to hear Tony's warning both turned around to see something coming down on to the floor. Scott helped Hope get to the thrones and out of the way of the thing that came down with all the people moving out of its way. Hank went straight for Scott and Hope as did Tony, Howard, and Maria standing with them. Watching the mystic black smoke with the gold dust swirling around it as Scott whispered "Okay who the heck is that" as then everyone got their answered as the figure appeared.

Even though the man was wearing a black and yellow cloak and gold trim going through it Scott, Hope, and Hank knew exactly who it was as they all gasped out "Darren Cross?" Tony looked at them as he said "Who is Darren Cross" only for his father to whisper to them "That is the evil wizard Cross and I've heard that he takes what he wants." Hank stood his ground as he said "What do you want Cross. . . . . . I mean Wizard Cross" Darren smiled wickedly as he went up to Hank, Hope, Scott, Tony and his parents as he said "Oh I was just in the neighborhood and then I realized that you forgot to invite me to the ball."

Hank growled as Hope whispered "Father please we have to go with what the story wants" Hank nodded to Hope then looked back at Darren as he said "Okay now you're here tell me what you want so then you can leave!" Darren smirked as he walked around the people at the ball with his staff as he said "Well I've actually came here to take your daughter's hand in marriage" as then Hope looked at Darren discussed as he walked up to Hank, and then finally taking Hope's hand kissing it. Hope took her hand away from Darren's hand as she yelled out "Never, I'll never marry you" as Scott got her behind him as Darren growled out "Are you sure that is what you want princess! You should think long and hard of what you say next because something bad might happen to your people!"

"I'll repeat what I said before that I'll never marry you" said Hope as Scott kept her behind him as Hank yelled out "You'll never marry my daughter, and you never will! Besides if I want someone to marry my daughter it would be" Hank stopped himself even before he could finish it as Scott yelled out "Princess Hope should choose who she wants to marry and not being bullied into marrying someone like you!" Darren went up to Scott's face as he said "Is that so Scottie Hood! You think you can stop me from getting the prize that I most desire" Scott growled out "That is right I'll stop you from hurting anyone or forcing Hope into a loveless marriage to a monster like you!" Darren smiled wildly as he said "We'll see Scottie Hood, we'll see" then Darren stepped away from Hank and the rest of them.

Darren turned around as he yelled out "Make no mistake Princess Hope I will have you one way or another I will have you as my wife!" As then everyone watched as Darren Cross hit his staff on the floor making a puff a black smoke and gold dust swirling around him and then disappeared from everyone. Making everyone gasp as Hank said "This can't be good" making Hope, Scott, Tony and his parents worried about Darren's threat.
