Chapter Text
“Your husband wanted to see me?” Crystal said, arriving at her sister and brother in law’s chambers.
Medusa looked up from her tablet as her baby sister walked into the room. “Yes, Crystal.” Medusa said, After a brief hug Crystal made a comment about the hair growth Medusa got down to business and clicked on the TV. “He’s not here currently, but… We found her.”
“Daisy Johnson?” Crystal said in awe. The famous inhuman hero that was all over the news. The one Crystal really wanted to meet if she was being honest with herself.
“Quake.” Medusa said preferring to refer to her by her code name. “Yes. She was spotted in a town named Los Vegas.”
“Cool so we invite her here and…” Crystal began before seeing her sisters face. “Crystal we’ve been over this. She’s a criminal and murderer.”
“Not this again.” Crystal said rolling her eyes.
“We are barely able to convince the U.N. to trust us.” Medusa said. “How would it look if we invited her here?”
“The only reason he wants to get involved with catching he is because he wants to bribe them with her.” Crystal said, crossing her arms. “We both know that she’ll probably be tortured, maybe even experimented on. “
“We don’t know that.” Medusa said. “Trust goes both ways Crystal. If they’re to trust us, we need to trust them.”
“He’s making the same mistakes that he once did.”
“Watch your mouth. He is still your king.” Medusa warned. “Your king who has ordered you to find her.”
“What!” Crystal said. “Why not Karnak or Gorgon?”
“We are stretched too thin.” Medusa said, “Besides, she is powerful. Extremely powerful. The only two we have that can come close are you and Black Bolt. He’s to busy dealing with this U.N. or he would.” When she saw that Crystal was still angry Medusa cupped her sister’s face so she would look her in the eye. “There’s no one else he tru… there is no one else I would trust to do this.”
“Fine.” Crystal said in a huff. “I’ll do it. But she stays here!”
“I’ll talk to Black Bolt.” Medusa said, “But you need to go now. We don’t know how much longer she’ll be around.”
Medusa grimaced as she watched her younger sister leave. She hoped she was ready like Black Bolt believed her to be. And if not, heaven and hell would not stop her from ripping out Johnson’s heart.
