Supreme Queen of Escalation[Worm/Yugioh] - Chapter 3

xxx

"My Queen, Taylor I think you need to let go of her, I think she needs to breathe." Taylor heard Yubel say, and she looked down at the tiny girl she hugging and saw her face was starting to turn blue.

"Sorry," Taylor apologized and let go of the magician she summoned who started to breathe, and her face returned to a healthy skin tone.

The small girl that she had summoned dusted of her ropes and turned to look at her. But instead of speaking a sign with words on, it appeared in the hand that didn't hold her staff.

Oh right, 'Silent Magician.' Taylor thought as she read the sign. [That is okay, my summoner, I am Silent Magician, but my true name is Quiet, my Supreme Queen.]

Well, that was a stereotypical name. "Well, good to meet you, Quiet, but how did you know that I was the Supreme Queen?" Taylor asked it was a title she was starting to enjoy hearing, but she was still uncomfortable with it, it just seemed so arrogant.

[I can feel the Gentle Darkness that your outfit is composed of with my magical powers, your Majesty, and the Duel Spirit next to you. And might I ask for what purpose you did so?] Taylor read the question on the sign.

"Sorry I didn't summon you for anything Quiet, I was just testing out my new powers. And it was your card I got. Though later I hope, you would patrol with me later." Taylor explained to Quiet, and the young magician nodded as she did.

[That is alright, your Majesty, you're a Summoner, so all Spirits of the Dueling Realms are at your disposal and answer to you. Though could you tell me why I have to patrol with you our Majesty, do you not have human soldiers to keep the peace?] Taylor could read the confusion that Quiet portrayed through the text.

And so Taylor and Yubel began to explain to Quiet, the status of the human world, which made the young Spellcaster want to do some experiment to figure out why humans suddenly got, seemingly the powers of Duel Spirits.

Quiet also explained to Taylor that besides her magical prowess, that she was also an Effect Monster, and thus had a unique ability, that related to her status as an LV Monster. That being, it allowed her to take draw power from the opponent and increase her own strength and evolve. Though since this wasn't a duel, she had to rely on Taylor's draw power, but only at half its effectivity, so she had to use two of Taylor's draws to get the full effect and get a Spell Counter.

Taylor had been a little bit amazed, then Quiet told her about how she would get stronger naturally without the need to sacrifice her for a stronger monster, as Yubel had explained she usually would do.

[Your Majesty might do you have a place to work and do research?] Tylor read Quiet's request, she only needed to think about for a second before a location came to mind. And it was right in the house.

"The basement should be a good place to work in, we don't use it anymore really, only the freezer is down there, so we just need to clean it up." Taylor proposed.

Taylor saw Quiet summon another sign into her hand. [That should be adequate enough for now, can you show me where it is?]

Taylor nodded, but before she left her bedroom, she quickly changed out of her costume and back into her regular clothes.

The sound of the oven cooking could be heard as Taylor chopped vegetables, on the kitchen counter. She hummed as she prepared dinner for the day so that it would be ready, then Danny got back from work.

Taylor had spent the entirety of the day staying home, not moving outside the walls of the house. Hanging out with Yubel and Quiet.

Though hanging out with Yubel seemed to be a permanent must from now on, the girl was incredibly clingy, obeying her every word kissing the ground she walked on, and probably would if Taylor asked her. But she was well of information about her own powers and The Duel Monsters she could summon.

And there was Quiet, the adorable little magician that she had summoned with her power, had been a joy to talk to. If speaking and reading a sign in response could be called a talk. Taylor found it a little awkward to talk to the mute girl, but she knew she would get over it fast enough, and soon it would be natural. Together they had cleaned up the basement and turned it into a study for her, and other Spellcasters Taylor would probably call upon at some point. The midget had even tried to teach Taylor some actual magic, not just her manipulation of The Gentle Darkness, only to discover that she kind of abysmal at it.

Not even managing to summon a single fireball, one of the most simple spells that existed in a spellcasters reservoir, according to Quiet. But Taylor had only managed to make a few sparks at most even after spending half the day trying to do it.

It had gotten a great laugh out of Yubel when she had somehow managed to make smoke instead of fire on her last try.

Making Taylor give up for the day.

Taylor put the vegetable into bowls and set it on the table where Yubel was sitting watching her.

"It smells delicious my Queen, what is it your making, I have never seen such a dish in my life?" Yubel asked her.

"This is Lasagna Yubel, it's an Italian dish, though this is my mother's recipe," Taylor said and quickly squashed the wave of sadness that hit at the thoughts of her mother.

She would no longer cry.

She would be stronger than tears.

"I see, then enjoy your meal with your Father, my Queen," Taylor heard the disappointment in her voice, guessing she wanted to join them for the meal. But as she didn't have a physical body, the food would fall right through her. Unless she kept focusing on keeping herself corporeal. So Taylor really wanted to draw her card so that she could summon her body, and physically interact with the world permanently. And to make it worse, she mad food for Quiet to join her and dad at the dinner table as the thing as decked for three.

Taylor didn't say anything as the timer sounded signaling, the lasagna was done in the oven.

Taylor didn't take the gloves from the drawer. Instead, Darkness surged around her hand, forming into mittens for her to use, it was good practice and what fun was there in superpowers if you couldn't use them for a mundane task.

Taylor took the lasagna and placed in on the table for it to cool down and ready for consumption.

Now I just need to wait for Dad to get home. Taylor thought. And speaking of the devil, and he shall arrive. Taylor heard the sound of the front door opening and closing, and a few seconds later, Danny walked in through the kitchen door with a smile on his face.

"Thanks for making dinner Taylor, though. Why did you deck for three?" He asked as he saw three plates on the dinner table.

"Dad, before we eat, I have something to tell you," Taylor said. "Or rather show you, I didn't want to keep this a secret." Taylor reached for the Gentle Darkness, and a second later, she was standing in the costume she had made. "Dad, I have powers."

Danny didn't really know what to feel at his daughter's revelation and admittance of having superpowers, showing them off by changing her clothes into a Cape Costume.

Now Danny wasn't an ignorant person in regards to Parahumans, and he knew how they gained powers. He had learned it from his wife, who had learned it from Lustrum.

That they only gained powers when they experienced the worst day in their life, and Danny knew exactly what could qualify as such an event.

"You got them after getting out of the locker, didn't you?" He asked, his answer was her silence on it, which confirmed his question. "So, what are your powers anyway, hopefully not just cloth making." He joked, which got a small laugh from her, he couldn't see her face because of the mask, but he was sure she smiling.

"My power is in two parts. The first is to make stuff out of Darkness like my costume here. The second part is the I can summon stuff."

"What kind of stuff?"

"It's best if I show you. Quiet, you can come out now." Taylor said, calling for someone else within the house. Danny's body tensed as he heard the wooden floor being walked on and from the living room came…

A little girl dressed in white robes and a pointy hat.

Well, he didn't expect that.

"Taylor?" he said questingly as he looked at his daughter for an explanation of the small girl standing in the doorway to the kitchen.

Danny didn't expect the answer, to be that his daughter was the reincarnation of an ancient king, with mystical, magical powers.

Well, that went better than I thought it would. Taylor thought as she now sat at the kitchen table with her dad and Quiet eating the lasagna that she had made.

After telling her dad the truth about her power and its origin. And convincing him that she was not crazy by introducing him to Yubel, they had managed to get him to believe them.

During the dinner, her dad had further asked into the mechanics of her power, or rather if the beings she summoned was harmful/a danger towards her.

It was nice to hear him being so concerned about her wellbeing.

But during the conversation, she had noticed that Dad didn't trust Yubel, and was currently eyeing the demonic woman, leaning over her chair looking at Taylor with adoration.

Taylor still didn't know how to handle the apparent love and lust Yubel had for her.

Though during the conversation about her powers, her dad, had asked if she wanted to join the Wards, and she immediately rebutted with no. When he had asked for an explanation as to why she didn't want to. She had answered with, that she didn't want to deal with more teenage drama such a group would bring. And that she wanted to gain a reputation so that she could debate with the Protectorate/PRT about the probable contract she had to sign so that she could leave if the previous statement were proved correct.

But that was just an excuse she had told her father and not the truth.

The truth had been that her mind had revolted at the thought of being beneath somebody, for another to dictate her actions.

Though thankfully, Taylor had managed to convince her dad to let her go out tomorrow and patrol the city.
