A/N: Hello faithful readers. We are back after a month long hiatus. It's been a crazy month, We moved, unpacked and I am finally finding free time to write. I hope you guys like this one, because we introduce a handful of new characters.

Disclaimer: I do not own Marvel, Disney, ABC, Fox or the Avengers. Just Sera.


It was a month later, that we decided the kids were ready for their Terrigenesis. Daisy and I were in the room with them, as it was sealed off for safety. Jemma had confirmed the InHuman gene herself only minutes before, and I could breathe easy that I wasn't going to kill my babies. Jemma did have some concern about mine and Daisy's unborn children, with us being in the room, but I felt they would be safe.

Ultimately I was right, as Daisy and I were unharmed by the Terrigen crystal's effects. The kids however, went into their 'husks', as Daisy liked to call them. It was a minute or two before Elijah's started to fall from his skin, breaking himself free and shaking off the remaining pieces.

"Am I… taller?" He said, and I studied him. He was taller. In fact, He looked older.

"ARSENAL, suck out the particles through the bio filter. And then open the door. Congratulations Eli. When the door opens, go see Lincoln and Jemma," I said, now having to reach up slightly to kiss his cheek.

Just as the door opened, Callie's husk shattered, showering all of us in pieces of debris. I picked a piece off of my head once it stopped, and saw my little girl was also older looking. She looked down at her hands, as if in confusion.

"Callie," I said softly.

"Mom, I feel funny," She said, holding her stomach.

"It's your powers. It feels different to everyone. Daisy felt like a million bees buzzing around inside her. I felt the same, but an intense burning heat."

"No, I feel…"

"Taller?" I asked, noticing she was my own height now.

"Yeah," She said, "Plus my clothes feel kinda tight again."

"We can bring the other stuff I bought you out of storage, but for now, you can borrow a few of mine," I said, guiding her out with my arm around her shoulders.

"Everything okay?" Bucky asked nervously as we approached them. Most everyone had waited outside.

"We have two new InHumans!" I smiled. Bucky sighed in relief and helped me lead our daughter to the medical lab, for Jemma to run tests and Lincoln to perform his acupuncture therapy.

Steve and Eli were already there, trying very hard to get a blood sample for Jemma. Apparently when future Eli said he was bullet proof, it also meant his skin was like Thor's. Loki then produced an Asgardian blade to help, with Jemma collecting the sample in a sterile bowl. Helen drew Callie's blood, before she nodded to Lincoln that they could be taken for acupuncture. I walked back up to our apartment, grabbing a few clothes of mine for Callie, when I got a call from Phil.

"Hey, that InHuman group you mentioned, they just appeared on our radar."

"Oahu?" I asked, worried.

"Yes, how did you- oh, right. Anyways, I need a team on the ground."

"Phil, the kids just got their powers not even 10 minutes ago."

"I know. I was thinking-"

"Phil, I'm pregnant. Plus Bucky and Steve have been very strict about no work, for obvious reasons. I'm four months before I pop."

"I was hoping they would go with you," He said, "We might need the muscle."

"Mack, Hunter and Trip as well. They need to know that humans can be trusted," I conceded, "And you get to convince Steve and Bucky."

"You are cruel. But I accept. Thank you Sera," He sighed.

"I know the only reason you aren't letting Daisy go is because she is further along than me, and Trip would lock her in their room if he could."

"Yes. And because we know Daisy has a temper regarding authority. As you will recall her opinion when you mentioned this Black Bolt was the King of the InHumans."

"True. Okay, but I want to be here when the kids test their powers."

"Obviously. Wasn't going to keep you from their first trial."


With the Zephyr and 9/10 Quinjets, we took off. Daisy would make sure the kids didn't test their powers until we were back, because I knew they would be eager to. Steve and Bucky grumbled that I was only to come out if necessary, which I argued would be at one point. None of them knew sign language, except for their army signals. I needed to speak to the King that could bring down a city with a whisper. We touched down outside of the base where the US government was holding them until we could relocate them.

As May touched the Zephyr down, and ARSENAL all the Quinjets on the side of the field of tents, I realized that this was going to be a big step. The UN had already pre-approved my proposal of refugee right to be given to the InHumans, so it wasn't like we would get food and clothing for them. It was more the power struggle we would have. I knew that while they were royals, they cared about their people. But they still expected certain things to be handed to them. Or that was my prejudice, but I wasn't going to roll over and be grateful there was an unelected leader of the InHumans. Daisy and Lincoln were considered ours for a time, and then Daisy just wanted to be in the field more, and shoved the responsibility on me as Ambassador.

Thanks sis.

I walked down the ramp first, as Bucky and Steve were still making sure their suits were fitting right. Shuri assured them that they might pinch for a few tries, but they would adapt to their body shapes.

Trip, Mack and Hunter flanked me, with Steve and Bucky catching up as the royal family met us in the middle of the field. I locked eyes with Black Bolt first, signing, "Hello, my name is Seraphina."

"Hello."

"Forgive my signing. I am a bit rusty," I smiled. Medusa watched me with hard eyes, obviously still untrusting to those she thought human.

"Our government has released you into SHIELD custody, as refugees. The United Nations has provided clothing, food and shelter for you and your people."

"What is SHIELD?" Medusa asked, speaking for her husband, as I assume she has had to do for years.

"The Strategic Homeland Intervention and Logistics Division. A not so secret agency founded to protect our world from a much stranger one. To protect them from threats. But please know we do not perceive you as a threat. Our Director extends a warm welcome, with the assurance that none of your people with me experiment on or used. We bring a banner of peace, as we have InHumans among our people as well. We are familiar with gifts."

"Ours are birthrights," Medusa said.

"A birthright I share," I said, before extending my wings, and producing balls of fire in each extended palm. The family looked shocked, as more of their people came to investigate us. No one moved, staring at me warily, before I retracted my wings, and extinguished the flames.

"The Siren," Black Bolt signed to me.

"Yes. It is my Avenger's codename. But the whole world knows who I am, so it's more for theatrics we use it now."

"The Avengers? The heroes?" Crystal asked. I was glad the Watcher's spy had relayed the names of the royal family, or I would be lost.

"Yes. The leader of our motley crew, Captain Steven Rogers. Our sniper slash muscle, Sergeant James Barnes. Better known to the world as Captain America and the Winter Soldier. We thought it best that only a few of us were present."

"Where would you take us?" Black Bolt signed.

"A place of refuge. While we are making leaps and bounds in ho InHumans are treated on earth, we thought that a population as large as yours should be relocated to slowly integrate into society here."

"And this place is close to your own facility?" Medusa asked, unsure whether to trust us.

"Yes. ARSENAL," I asked my watch.

"Ma'am, as requested," She responded, bringing up a holographic 3D display of our facilities.

"This is Avenger's base. We added the SHIELD building and surrounding acreage only last year, and this… is the Cocoon. It was originally built to help new InHumans with learning and developing their powers, before they were given a choice of integrating back into society or aiding SHIELD."

"That building?" Crystal asked.

"My stables. I couldn't live without my horses," I smiled. She smiled back, as I looked at Lockjaw.

"I have a feeling you and my dog will get along. He's not your typical earth dog."

The royals looked a little more relaxed, but I knew that there were still doubts.

"If would like some time to think about it, we will let you decide amongst yourselves," I said, resting a hand on my stomach. Black Bolt gave a questioning glance and I smiled.

"Yes, I am pregnant. And neither of my husbands would appreciate anyone moving towards me in a less than friendly manner," I said, watching them get confused again.

"Oh, these two fine specimens are my husbands by the way. And while I don't want to rush you, my twins just went through Terrigenesis back home, and I really want to be there to help test their gifts."

"How old are your twins?" Medusa asked, looking at me funny.

"Almost two years old. But they aged faster because of their father's super soldier serums, and in being in close proximity to our Terrigen stores. And then funny enough, the process aged them again. They look 18 now. But man, those growth spurts were a bitch," I said dramatically.

"Sera," Steve chastised me.

"Sorry, Captain 'Language'. They were," I said, to a chuckling Crystal.

Black Bolt gave Medusa a look, and I watched tension roll off his shoulders. She must have sensed it, because she smiled and turned to me saying, "We accept your offer."


It was a tight squeeze and I had to explain to a few people that the Quinjets would fly themselves. ARSENAL would keep us updated, but unfortunately it was standing room only for those that were injured or elderly. The command centre was reserved for the royal family and our own agents.

"We should have used the Helicarrier," I said, squeezing past a few people.

"That would have been a great idea, but it's in Wakanda right now," Mack said.

"I miss my baby," I sighed.

"ARSENAL's original?" He teased.

"You are STILL not touching it! She is safe in the garage. No, I meant the Helicarrier. She was my first design for SHIELD," I said, "I'll tell you all about it after we get back. But I need to talk to Coulson. And then T'Challa."

"Yes Madam Ambassador," He teased again, mimicking T'Challa's accent.

"I'm telling him you did that!" I said in a tattling voice, as he walked away. He just chuckled as Steve and Bucky laughed at our bickering. They walked over to offer rations to the royal family.

I sat down in the interrogations room with a mobile uplink to the TV and called Coulson.

"Well?" He asked.

"As you can see behind me, they accepted refugee status with SHIELD," I said, turning the camera slightly so he could see.

"Alright. The President is aware of the situation. Doesn't think Senate or Congress will give us too much grief about the last minute part."

"Tough cookies for them, we already got a fast tacked application through the UN. Matthew will do everything in his power to help anyways. You have the Cocoon set up?"

"Yes. Should be good to go when you arrive. Daisy is overseeing setting up a registry, keep track of powers, families, group them together."

"That sounds an awful like the Index Phil. We nixed that idea, remember?"

"Not for the government. For us, for helping them integrate into society."

"I already promised no experimentation."

"Of course not. But we need to know who has super hearing, or the ability to wipe out our defenses, power, etc."

"But nothing more than that. Think of Daisy and how scared she was of someone treating her differently when she became InHuman," I argued.

"No one will be tested beyond learning what his or her gifts are. You have my word Sera. I wouldn't dream of treating your people differently than my own."

"Right, I guess they are my people. My mother did say I was descended from the oldest line of InHumans to walk the earth. I think they kept track of our ancestry too. Oddballs," I sighed.

"Not so different. Maybe you have a mutual ancestor," He joked.

"Shotgun not telling the royal family that I'm their designated leader down here," I said touching my nose fast. Phil tried to beat me, but then said, "We can let Daisy do that."

"Oh, you are cruel. I knew I was your favorite daughter," I teased. I hung up after a quick goodbye, and saying we would be there in about four hours. Touching my Kimoyo beads, the holographic display brought up a contacts lists and I selected Shuri.

"Sera, I am so glad you called. I wanted to inform you of what we have upgraded on the Helicarrier," Shuri greeted me. My baby was in the best hands.
