Chapter Two: (Y/N) meets Steven
Back in the woods, Steven and the other two are still running from the guards. They had to stop for a second to catch their breath and for Steven to get annoyed at his wanted poster. Whoever draws them can't get his nose right. They had to start running again because the guards had caught up. Steven put the poster in his satchel and started running. But then they came to a dead end. And the only way to get out of the dead-end is to climb up. Steven told them to boost him up first then he would pull them up. Drax told him to hand over the satchel that the crown was in first.
Steven reluctantly did and Drax and Rocket helped him up. But when it was time to bring them up, Steven showed them the satchel that he took again and ran. The guards caught up and started to chase him. The captain was wearing a cloak that helps him fly. The Cloak of Levitation. But we'll call it Levi. As Steven ran, he was shot at but the guards missed every time. Soon it was just the Captain chasing him. Using a vine, Steven swung around, knocking the captain off Levi and took him instead.
But instead of obeying the new person that's put him on, he tried to steal the satchel. There was a big tug of war over it when it was thrown over a cliff and into a branch. They ran to get it. Steven took it but the tree gave way making them fall. Levi saved himself but Steven had disappeared. Levi started searching for him like a hound. Steven was hiding behind a rock before quickly finding some vines hiding a cave so he went in there. He saw a light on the other side so he followed it to see (Y/N)'s tower.
Not wanting to be caught by Levi, Steven climbed the tower and went inside, finally alone and out of danger. Or so he thought. (Y/N) hit him on the back of the head with a frying pan, knocking him out. (Y/N) hid behind a mannequin. He got closer to him. Using her pan, she turned his face over. Groot told her to see if he had any pointy teeth as Hela said. She used the handle to open his mouth to see his teeth. Perfect and not at all sharp. As a bit of Steven's hair was in the way, she used the handle to move it out the way.
(Y/N) was fascinated by this man that had climbed his way into her tower. Steven opened his eye but it was closed again when (Y/N) smacked him with the frying pan again. She dragged him to her closet where she had trouble shoving him into. Once she did, she put a chair near the door so it didn't fall open. She felt very proud of herself. Hela said she wouldn't make it outside the tower, well, (Y/N) has proved her wrong. While looking in her mirror, she noticed something in Steven's satchel.
The crown. She took it out of the satchel and wondered what it is since she's never seen one before. She tried wearing it as a bracelet but it was obviously too big and Groot didn't agree. She looked through the diamond but Groot shook his head. (Y/N) then looked in the mirror and placed the crown on her head. Groot still didn't think it was right. That's when Hela called for (Y/N). She quickly hid the satchel and crown in a pot and helped Hela up to the tower. They both said they had a surprise for each other.
"I brought back parsnips. I‘m going to make hazelnut soup for dinner, your favorite. Surprise!" Hela said smiling.
"Well mother, there's something I want to tell you," (Y/N) said smiling.
"Oh (Y/N), you know I hate leaving you after a fight. Especially when I've done absolutely nothing wrong."
"Okay, I've been thinking a lot about what you said, earlier."
"I hope you're not still talking about the stars."
"Floating lights, and, yes I'm leading up to that.
"Because I really thought we dropped the issue, sweetheart."
"No Mother, I'm just saying, you think I'm not strong enough to handle myself out there."
"Oh darling, I know you're not strong enough to handle yourself out there."
"But if you just...
"(Y/N), we're done talking about this."
They started talking over each other as (Y/N) reached for the closet that Steven was in.
"ENOUGH WITH THE LIGHTS, (Y/N)! YOU ARE NOT LEAVING THIS TOWER, EVER!" Hela snapped.
(Y/N) backed away from the closet as Hela sat down.
"Oh, great. Now I'm the bad guy," Hela said.
(Y/N) then had to think of a new plan to see the floating lights. She has Steven in her closet. What if he could take her? But she needs to make sure Hela is away for long enough to go see them. She knows what to do.
"All I was gonna say, mother, is that... I know what I want for my birthday, now," (Y/N) said.
"And what is that?" Hela asked
"New paint. That paint made from the white shells you once brought me."
"Well, that is a very long trip, (Y/N). Almost three day's time."
"I just thought it was a better idea than the stars."
"You sure you'll be all right, on your own?"
"I know I'm safe, as long as I'm here."
"I'll be back in three days time. I love you very much, dear."
"I love you more."
"I love you most."
Once Hela left, (Y/N) took Steven out of the closet. He was still knocked out. (Y/N) used her hair to tie him to a chair and waited for him to wake up.
