------ Attilan ------
Vixen shoulder charged Black Bolt with the power of the rhino and the Inhuman leader slammed into the wall, going through it and tumbling to a stop on the other side. He picked himself up and angrily whispered as softly as he possibly could.
“Stop”
The ground began to shake, the walls trembled, and everyone in the room covered their ears from the power of the sonic blast. The force was incredible; Vixen was tossed aside like a rag doll and landed on the floor of the throne room with a thump. Gorgon and Karnak quickly pounced on her and held her to the floor. Black Bolt stepped out of the smoke and debris from his impact against the wall and motioned with a flick of his wrist for his royal brethren to let her go. Vixen shrugged them off and carefully picked herself up, never taking her eyes off of Black Bolt.
Medusa emerged from the shadows and gently caressed her husbands shoulder.
“My king, this woman has disgraced us with her insolence.”
Vixen wiped a trail of blood from her mouth.
“I did no such thing; your people attacked me first. I was tracking a signal here from the moon and I asked to inspect it. The big one there then attacked me.”
Black Bolt held his hand palm first motioning for her to stop. He then pointed towards the hanger were her ship waited for her. Vixen was puzzled, but none the less took the initiative and began to walk towards her ship. Gorgon approached Black Bolt angrily.
“My lord, you intend to let her go after what she has done?”
Black Bolt glared angrily at him, he clenched his fists in defiance and punched the much larger inhuman in the chest. Gorgon inhaled sharply and collapsed to his knees. Karnak bent over him and motioned for a medic to come. The medic helped Gorgon to his feet and Karnak followed them out of the room.
Black Bolt strode across the room and sat in his throne folding his head into the palm of his hand.
They have no patience. Whenever I am away they are always so quick to act in despite of the consequences. It is possible that the signal she was tracking could have come from a Skrull craft. If they were keeping me here against my will they must have had transportation to come and go from their installation.
Medusa seductively began to wrap her crimson hair around his shoulders. It enveloped him and began to slowly massage his neck.
“My love, you arrived at the perfect time. I trust the business with your five brethren went well?”
Five brethren? She thinks I have been with the Illuminati. Something is not right here.
Black Bolt nodded to his wife and motioned for her to come to his side. She gingerly stepped towards him and softly sat in his lap and traced her fingers along the contours of his head.
“I missed you love.”
She kissed him softly on the cheek and he turned to her, searching her eyes.
There must have been a Skrull impersonating me. I haven’t seen her in three weeks and the Illuminati haven’t met in months. What has she told them, what has he learned in my place, what has he done with my wife?
Black Bolt squeezed the armrest of his throne so hard it began to crack under the stress. Medusa placed her hand on his and spoke softly.
“What is it my dear? What has made you so angered?”
Suddenly Crystal entered the room out of breath, Black Bolt turned to her and she gasped.
“My Lord, you are here?”
Black Bolt rose effortlessly and Medusa slid off of him coming to a standing position next to him. Black Bolt nodded and stepped towards her. Medusa slunk back in her husband’s throne and curled up within her hair.
Black Bolt came to Crystal and crossed his arms in front of his chest. Like all of the other members of the Inhuman Royal Family she had become accustomed to reading his gestures. She wished that he could speak and tell them what he wanted, but his voice was too powerful and so he remained silent.
“My Lord, I just received an urgent message from earth. Namor the Sub Mariner says that the Black Bolt who joined them in their meeting two days ago was a Skrull in disguise and has been eliminated. He warns us not to trust anyone and that he will be here soon to begin searching for you.”
Medusa stood up and made her way across the room, she paused in front of Black Bolt and then moved beside Crystal.
“A Skrull, how can that be? I woke up with him in my bed the day that he left.”
Medusa turned to the Black Bolt standing in front of her.
“How can I be sure that you are my husband? If you are, where have you been? What is going on?”
She ran out of the throne room crying. Black Bolt took a step towards her, but then turned back to Crystal. She was eyeing him and as he stepped towards her she took a step back.
“Stop right there, Medusa is right. If the Black Bolt who left two days ago was an imposter where has the real one been and when were they switched?”
Black Bolt tensed his muscles, he recalled the terrible three weeks he had spent in confinement. He clenched his fists and the air around him began to ripple from the energy. Crystal stepped back farther and approached the terrace, she looked as if she was preparing to leap to safety when Black Bolt relaxed and hung his head low.
She is right, I cannot prove to them without a doubt that I am myself. I will wait for Namor and see if he has any answers.
Black Bolt walked back to his throne and sat down. He turned to watch as Crystal strode out of the room with a horrified look on her face.
