AN: Tumblr prompt: Could you do a sequel to King at some point?

Drabble 40-King part 2

Steve never thought he would ever meet him again. After all, it had been five years, and neither he or any other ghost had showed their face on the earth. Not since he got blasted to Ghost Zone by Loki and then kidnapped by Fright Knight.

But then again, anything could happen in a HYDRA cell.

He was sharing one with a little girl, who had green skin and white hair. She had thorns poking out of her arms, and her eyes were green with bright red irises. She was just a little kid. A small, cute, glowing kid.

"Hi, there," he said in a soft, gentle voice in an attempt to calm her down. She flinched away from him, curling into herself, and Steve couldn't help but notice the bright green bracelet around her ankle, blinking methodically. "My name is Captain America," he tried again. "What's yours?"

"I-Ivory," she whimpered. Ivory sniffed and wiped away the tear that fell off of her cheek.

"Hey, listen," he said, voice still gentle. "I'm gonna get us out of here, okay?"

"H-how?" Ivory didn't sound as scared, and Steve couldn't tell whether or not she was faking it.

"Really carefully. Um...Do you have anything sharp? I cold pick the lock on the door."

She shrugged and stood up, her pink sundress bouncing as she did so. She searched her pockets and pulled out a plastic screwdriver.

"Will this work?" She asked. Steve nodded and took it from her before getting to work. It was a perfect fit, but it was also plastic, so he didn't actually know how well it was going to work. He might just have to break his shoulder to get the large, metal door down. But then there would be no stealth.

After a couple minutes of trying, he pulled the screwdriver out and handed it back to Ivory.

"I'm sorry it didn't work," she said sadly. Steve waved her off.

"Don't worry about it. Where are you from?" He needed to take her mind off of what could happen to them. She shrugged and started to play with her long, white hair. He had a feeling he already knew the answer, though.

"Um...Daddy told me to never tell anybody..." She said nervously. Steve gave her a warm smile.

"And who is your father?"

"King of the Ghosts," she said proudly. "I'm a princess!"

"I actually know him," Steve said. "He's a good friend of mine."

That meant that the anklet was suppressing her powers. He scooted closer to her, trying to make himself as small as possible.

"I might be able to break this," he told her. "And then you can walk us through the walls. Does that sound okay to you?" She nodded and stuck out her ankle. Apparently knowing her father had its perks. It meant you were automatically on his daughter's good side.

Steve gripped both sides of it and pulled as hard as he could. His face was turning red with exertion, but after a few tries at finally crumpled in his hands, the pieces flying everywhere as he tore it to shreds. He helped her up and held out his hand for her to take. She wrapped her hand around three of his fingers, and he could feel the tingle run down his spine as they walked through the door together.

Hoewver, there were several guards down the long hallway. He pulled Ivory into his arms and covered her with his body as they shot at him. e dodged and rolled, keeping her safely tucked into his chest as he took them down one by one before running down to the armory to retrieve his shield. Once he had that, he told her it was safe to look again.

"You're damn right it is."

Steve whirled around, only to see his old friend Danny with a big grin on his face. He held out his arms and Ivory jumped out of Steve's and into Danny's. But Steve had seen through the fake smile. His eyes were burning with hatred for the people who kidnapped his daughter.

"Where's mommy?" Ivory asked.

"Well, let's go see," Danny said. He put Ivory on his shoulders and grabbed Steve's arm, and within the blink of an eye hey were in the main lab. But it wasn't how Steve remembered it.

Everything was covered in large plants and mutant Venus fly traps. It was truly a sight to see. In the middle of it all was a woman with short, black hair and a green knee-length dress with glowing red eyes. Danny looked at her lovingly.

"There she is!" he said excitedly. "Look at what she did with all of the bad guys!"

It was true. All of them had been taken down by the vines or eaten by the mutant plants. Skull, though, was nowhere to be seen.

The woman walked over to them, looking as strong as ever, and hugged her daughter tightly. Then she turned to Steve.

"You're Captain America?" She asked. He nodded, and she stuck out her hand. "I'm Sam, Danny's wife. It's so nice to finally meet you," they shook hands, and Steve ind of felt like he was dreaming. Everything was so surreal.

"Do you-wanna join us for dinner?" He asked stupidly. What else was he supposed to say to the Queen of the Ghosts. Ivory lit up at the thought, and both she and Danny gave Sam the pouty face. Sam rolled her eyes and sighed, a smile gracing her lips.

"Yes, we would be happy to," she said. "Thank you. For everything." Steve smiled and scratched the back of his head.

"It was my pleasure, Ma'am."

Next to them, Danny laughed as he spun Ivory around.

"So," he said, "What's for dinner?"
