Ready for Chapter 2? Here you go as I've explained back in Chapter 1 I know absolutely nothing about the Inhumans so I ask that if any of the Inhumans seem OOC that's why.

Edited A/N I merged chapter 3 with this chapter as I felt once again it worked better merged with this chapter, hope you like it!

Chapter 2: Meeting With Royalty

Once she reached the home of Black Bolt she turned back into a human girl and stood in front of the two guards stood in front of the home of Black Bolt Standing on either side of the double sided doors. They stood at attention wearing all black from the chin down. Her heart both dropped and lifted when she found that the two Guards were Leroy and Moira. Leroy she hated Moira however had amazing telepathy and would know in an instant she was telling the truth.

"I have just been informed of an important matter regarding the safety of the entire world, I must speak to Black Bolt" She said. If there was anything she learned from Loki it was how to act with Authority even if you did not actually have it.

One of the guards broke formation by rolling her eyes. Mary felt a twitch of anger but kept it down it would not do well to transform into a wolf right now.

"Oh? And what information could you possibly have for our leader?" The guard on the right sneered at her. He had flaming red hair and bright green eyes, fitting considering he was a pyrokinetic.

She ground her teeth. Leroy had always been antagonistic toward her.

"I speak the truth, Loki himself believes that the entire world is in danger and has enlisted our help."

The blond female guard turned her head to the side and narrowed her eyes at Mary. Mary took a deep breath and allowed the intrusion putting up as little resistance to the feel of Moira in her mind as possible.

Leroy however rolled her eyes. "How would that prince know anything about the dangers that would come to earth?"

Mary rolled her eyes. "He is not on Asgard now, bring me in to see the King and Queen and I will explain everything there."

Leroy smiled coldly. "And why should we believe you?"

Moira spoke up by then her analysis into Mary's mind complete, "She speaks the truth Leroy, let her pass, I shall take her to the King and Queen Myself"

Mary smiled condescendingly at Leroy before ascending the stairs and Moira opened the doors and allowed her through.

Moira opened the door to the palace and allowed her through. They walked in silence for a long time before Moira finally spoke.

"You truly believe him don't you?" Moira said.

Mary sighed she had expected this. "Can we really risk not to?" She said. "He said the world, Moira"

Moira nodded "I know"

She shook her head. "You saw him in my mind, he looked... sad, fearful, and angry."

Moira nodded but she still looked unsure. "You know I don't trust him Mary"

Mary sighed putting her hand to face. "I know, I know and you have every reason not to." But he's my friend, and he has never lied to me... well not about anything important, he wouldn't lie about this.

Moira smiled put an arm around her. "But I always trusted your judgment, if you say he wouldn't lie about something like this I trust you."

Mary smiled "Thanks Moira."

"Let's go speak to the King and Queen" Moira said and together they walked to the main office.

Moira entered leaving the door open first she bowed deeply. "My King and Queen, Mary the shape shifter has received a warning from the Asgardian, she says it is imperative she speaks to you immediately" Mary heard from inside.

There was silence on the inside for a few moments before the Queen spoke again. "Very well we shall hear her words first, before we make a decision." The sound of her voice made it sound as though her mind was already made up though

Now comes the hard part Mary thought. Medusa the queen could be hard to persuade even with a telepath right beside her and she had never truly liked Loki anyway.

Mary took a deep breath and stepped through the door. Staring at the King and Queen unflinchingly she told them everything she had been told.

"A being named Thanos is forcing the Asgardian Loki into raging war on earth" She spoke. "He has asked us for our help" She stopped speaking for a moment allowing it to sink in.

Medusa and Black Bolt looked at each other for a moment before Medusa turned to glare at Mary her flaming hair flying in all directions though no wind was blowing. "Why should we concern ourselves with the problems of the humans?" She asked glaring coldly at Mary. "We are protected here from harm as are all the Inhuman cities, should war be raged we shall be unharmed. Besides we have ways of escaping should this Thanos find his way around our defenses and attack our home."

Mary sighed. "We were all humans before we were transformed, and we are not even sure if we here in Atillon or the other Inhuman cities are the only Inhumans that exist, would you allow for other potentials to be killed?"

Medusa glared at the young girl, Mary could feel the fear eating at her body begging to transform into another form one stronger and more capable of defending herself, like a wolf or an Asgardian.

She could feel the change take place her muscles becoming only slightly more defined as her body changed to match that of an Asgardian though her outward appearance stayed the same.

Moira looked at her in shock but Mary paid her no mind, Moira knew she couldn't control the change when she was scared, and Asgardian was the safest option.

I'm tense Moira I have no plans to attack calm down

Moira just looked away but Mary knew she understood. When an Inhuman was afraid any control they had over their power tended to dissipate even if the person with the power had been mastering control for several years.

Medusa's hair stilled as she thought of that whatever she believed of regular humans she could not in good conscience say that some of those humans did not have the potential to become something more and while she did not care for humans she could not risk the murder of her own people. She and Balck Bolt turned to stare at each other in silent communication as they debated of what to be done.

Mary refused to smile but she felt the fear dissipate and with that her body transformed back into that of a human "Besides Thanos looking for the destruction of our world, and not just this world but every world we could potentially call our own, If we allow Thanos to get his hands on this Tessaract he will destroy the entire universe."

"According to speculation, by Loki, and how do we even know that what he says is true?" Medusa asked having gotten back her momentum and eyebrow raised. Black Bolt had not said anything (actually could not say anything given his ability to destroy with a single sound from his mouth) Still Mary had the distinct feeling that he was taking this a lot more seriously than Medusa currently was.

"With all due respect My Queen and My King, should we really take that chance? If this is some joke Loki is playing on us we will know immediately, Moira is a gifted telepath, capable of detecting even the most hidden of thoughts, if this is a trick she will know when he arrives on earth. Even more than that Loki would never lie about something such as this, and he has never lied to me."

Medusa looked as though she had the perfect retort to that but Black Bolt put a hand on her arm. Medusa turned around, and immediately Mary could tell that they were communicating using their own type of sign language that no one but those two (And Loki, who she was pretty sure could master anything given incentive.) could understand.

At the end of the royals discussion Medusa sighed and turned "Very well we shall lend the Asgardian Prince our Help, what would he have us do."

Mary closed her eyes and sighed. "The connection died before he could reveal what needed to be done, though I believe he may attempt contact again"

Medusa and Black Bolt stared at each other for a moment before Medusa turned once more. "Very well we shall await for him to attempt contact again, however if this is a trick I will not be pleased, Shapeshifter. Understood?"

Mary nodded once before Moira led her out of the room.

"That went well" Mary sighed. "Honestly I did not think they would even hear me out."

Moira shook her head. "You have more of a voice then you believe, Do you honestly think that your relationship with the Asgardian Trickster has not gone unnoticed? He was practically your Guide after Terrigensis."

Mary looked at Moira confused. "What does that have to do with anything? and no he wasn't, my transitioner was an Inhuman just like yours just like the rest of us."

Moira sighed "Yeah officially, but you have to admit you learned more from Loki than you did from Vera, Forgetting all that He still cared for you and do you honestly think that you haven't inherited anything from the Asgardian who cared for you? Your very presence demands attention just like his. The way you hold yourself, the way you walk, even the way you spoke to the king and queen just now... it was all demanding of attention, just as Loki's is."

Mary just shook her head. "I'm just Mary" She said. "The daughter of the heads of Security yes, but I'm nothing special."

Moira put a hand on Mary's shoulder. "Loki does not seem to think so, and neither do I."

Mary said nothing as they reached the doors leading outside, and Moira did not have to look inside Mary's mind to know that Mary did not believe her. Mary said goodbye to her friend and left leaving Moira to her post. Leroy smirked at her mockingly and Mary just flipped him off before transforming into an eagle and flying home.

She flew home tired knowing beyond a doubt both her parents would be contacting her early the next morning demanding more information as they received word from the King and Queen that Loki had contacting her for help. She would not contact them now, since she had all but cut off ties with them when she was 18 years old and had moved out.

She reached the window of her bedroom and prepared herself for bed it was early only around 8:00 at night but the events of the past hour had just completely drained her.

So slowly she stripped her clothes and clothed herself in a dark green nightgown before pulling back the covers and getting into her bed and closing her eyes, praying that tomorrow would be a better day (and that this had hopefully been a very bad dream.
