Skye was tightly holding onto Jay's hand, with Coulson, Melinda, Monica, Fitz, Simmons, and Antoine, looking around at the two groups of people on their left and right. A handsome man was sitting on the stone throne in front of them. And a woman with red hair standing beside him.

"How dare you come here!" The King, Black Bolt, silently glared at Jay.

Melinda talked under her breath, "he doesn't look happy with you. What did you do?"

Jay scratched his cheek, "um...I do understand that the last time I was here, things didn't go well."

"Things didn't go well? Your friend killed my brother. And you dare bring more people over?"

Fitz covered his mouth in panic, "oh boy, we are so dead. Simmons, it was nice knowing you."

Antoine nudged him, "wait, there must be a misunderstanding."

Jay let out a sigh, "yeah. That he did."

Antoine nodded, "ok, we are dead now."

"But, that was because Primo and I came here with hopes that we might be able to convince you to live on Earth and help you as much as we can for finding a place where you don't lack resources. There will be no need for the caste system that you use to preserve. And among other things that you have to go through. But your brother hated humans because his terrigenous turned him into humans. He also manipulated the circumstances which caused the death of your parents. He also planned to spoil anything that we would have done for Attilan. Primo thought killing Maximus was better. And the only reason you haven't attacked us is that you understand that more than anyone. After all, he was the one that manipulated you into killing your parents."

"Wait, what again?" Coulson raised his eyebrow, not understanding what was going on.

Jay glanced back, "well, King Black Bolt here has the ability to Hypersonically Enhanced Voice. But since he cannot diminish it, his voice is fatal to anyone that stands in front of him. Basically, a grunt is enough to kill us where we stand. He is the most powerful Inhuman."

"But, isn't he talking?" Monica blankly looked at Black Bolt.

Black Bolt touched the back of his neck, "well, Jay did create a device for us that is connected to our brain. Now those of us with dangerous powers can use it to stop our powers and then use them when necessary. An artificial control."

Jay smiled, "that's another reason why we are alive."

Black Bolt stood up, causing everyone to tense up as Jay walked over, standing in front of Black Bolt.

Black Bolt let out a sigh, hugging him, "it's been years, old friend."

Jay smiled, "well, the time wasn't right before."

Black Bolt sat back down when Medusa smiled, hugging Jay, "I thought you forgot about us."

"Forget about you and your beautiful red hair that tried to suffocate me? No way," Jay chuckled.

Gorgon patted his back, "come on, you are not holding a grudge for that, are you?"

Karnak narrowed his eyes, "if he held a grudge, then we'd be facing an army."

Triton patted Karnak's shoulder, "just shut up."

Jay gestured towards Medusa, looking at Coulson and the team, "this is the Queen of Attilan, Medusa. The one with the tattoo on his face is Karnak, the tall, muscular one is Gorgon, the green one is Triton. These are the members of the Inhuman Royal Family."

He gestured towards the other group of people, "these people are from the Genetic Council. Anyway, we are old friends, so don't worry about it."

Black Bolt smiled, "welcome to Attilan. Sorry if I scared you; I have been planning to chew Jay out for ears. I couldn't stop myself."

Jay raised his eyebrow, "I liked you better when you didn't speak."

Black Bolt lightly smiled, "so why are you here?"

"Well," Jay pushed Skye forward, "she is an Inhuman. I was hoping you could help her awaken her powers. Also, things are about to change, so I was hoping you come back and live on Earth. But we can talk about that later."

"No, there is no talking about that. I already told you that Inhumans won't leave Attilan."

"I know, I know, because of your great enemy. I understand. But this time, hear me out. The circumstances are different, much different," Jay explained.

Black Bolt was frowning when Medusa put her hand on his shoulder, "why not take her there?"

"Well, those people were a bit touchy about the inhibitors. So that technology isn't available there," Jay shrugged.

"Her powers are dangerous?" Black Bolt frowned.

Jay shook his head, "I don't know, but she has Primo's flame inside her, and it's a Top-tier one."

Karnak frowned, "are the things that bad? To awaken someone who could destroy the whole planet?"

"Wait, what do you mean to destroy the whole planet?" Coulson interrupted, looking towards Karnak.

Karnak looked at Coulson, looking at Jay, before turning back to Coulson, "Yes, the top-tier ones aren't all that different from us. But let's just say their abilities have a key, a unique usage that allows them to create damage enough to destroy the planet."

Jay nodded, "Yes, the circumstances are that dire, we need every bit of strength that we can, and there is no one better than Skye. She is someone I can trust with that much power."

Skye escaped his grasp, backing off, "wait, I don't trust myself. What if I accidentally hurt someone, power to destroy a planet? Couldn't have told me before."

But suddenly, she found herself where she started, "shh, it's not as bad as it sounds. You have seen Monica; would you believe that she is a Planter Destroyer as well?"

"Wait, I am?"

"She is?" Coulson and Melinda both shot a look at him.

"Aha, I said it!" Fitz shouted, making everyone look at him.

He shriveled up, muttering, "I theorized if she turns into hard light and hits the Earth at lightspeed, she could destroy the Earth. That is why Jay has told her not to move at light speed."

Monica opened her mouth in enlightenment, "ah, I thought that was only a theory. Cool."

Jay shrugged, "see as I said. It's not that scary or that easy. It's not like you are getting a power that you wave your hand, and Earth is destroyed. It's going to be all right."

"But..."

"Coulson, Melinda, tell her," Jay moved out of the way, turning Skye over.

Coulson took a deep, rubbing his face, "God, I can't believe I am saying this...but we don't know what we might be up again. And at a time like this, if I want someone with powers on my side. I would want it to be you."

Melinda harshly looked at Skye, patting her shoulder, "don't worry. If you run out of control, I will shoot you with Icers."

"Night-night gun," Fitz tried to remind her.

"Not calling it that," Simmons smiled at Skye while Antoine walked over, hugging Skye, "go, girl. I know you will make an awesome super agent."

Skye pressed her lips, smiling, "I like that...super agent."

Monica patted her shoulder, "come on, I like the idea. I'll have some company."

Skye tightened her jaw, "all right, I'm ready."

Black Bolt looked at her, turning his eyes towards Jay, "are you sure about this?"

"Hmp," Jay shrugged, "I can trust her with my life. So, yeah, yeah, I am sure."

Medusa smiled, walking over to Skye, "well then, I will show everyone the room."

As she came closer, Jay whispered, "right, where is she? How come I haven't seen her?"

Medusa smiled, "and here I thought you forgot about the little girl. She is playing with her talk. I sent the guards so she will be here-"

Before she could complete it, a massive bulldog appeared, and it was a young girl with golden hair. Her face lit up into a huge grin as she jumped on Jay, hugging him, "Jay!!!"

Jay stroked her head, with a slight smile on his face, "Crystal...you have grown up, sweetheart."

Crystal buried her face in his shoulder, tightly hugging him, "I missed you...and you didn't come to see me. You promised."

Jay kissed her head, "sorry..."

Medusa cleared her throat, "now, Crystal, we have guests. Behave like a princess."

"Mm, give me five minutes."

Jay shrugged his mouth, "well, she has the princess part down."
