"Thank you, Peter Parker."

She didn't know how to explain it, but she felt good within him. It's why she was so drawn to him. It is also why she pushed him away when they first met.

"I think that may be enough about me. For now. I want to know more about you."

"Thank you..."

If she knew how to fidget, or what fidgeting was, that's what she'd be doing. Instead, she sits completely still.

"You always seem to know just what to say."

She nods slowly. Not really having any words to speak. She feels comfort knowing she's broken the cycle. But the idea of starting over... it scares her.

She sits in silence for nearly two minutes before finally replying,

"I was Galactus's Herald for two hundred and thirty-five years."

"How many days are your Earth years again, Peter?"

"No... I agree. That can't be healthy."

She meant that. And she hoped he knew that. That was a good step toward autonomy. Right?

power until she was shown it. As of now, she had little to no agency. She craved agency. But she was so... passive. Reactive.

She wished she felt something physical from his touch. She couldn't even feel the warmth of his flesh. This only made her feel emptier. Lonelier.

Regardless, she smiled at the boy,

"I have... the power."

She nodded. But those words didn't hold a lot of meaning. She wouldn't feel like she had any

|| I MIGHT~!!!

i am lowkey considering a new muse 👀🤭

She was disappointed. Not only at Peter's words, but at herself.

"Shalla-Bal is... broken?"

That's how she felt. She didn't remember a life without a master.

She said exactly what she thought,

"I don't remember a life without a master..."

"... it's... terrifying."

|| need someone to make a taylor swift dazzler 😍😩

"And I am so grateful to you and The Avengers for freeing me from Galactus. I am forever indebted to you."

She nods.

"Shalla-Bal is almost like the Herald of Spider-Man, now."

She not only unironically spoke of herself in the third person, but meant what she said. She was at his service.

"I'd like to help you discover it, Peter Parker."

She smiled softly, placing a hand over his,

"Maybe if you discover things about me... it will help me learn more about who I am... I could discover myself. With you."

"You are so kind, Peter."

She gives a nod.

"My beauty isn't the reason you spend time with me though, right? There's more substance to it?"

"Peter..."

She stepped off of her board, (which by itself, reoriented itself into an upright position and sat against the wall) and sat on the boy's bed,

"You're very sweet. But do you mean it? Or are you just distracted by a shiny object?"

If she could blush, she would be 100% be blushing.

"I appreciate your honesty, Peter."

She smiled, giggling to herself,

"I haven't been admired in a very long time... I'm flattered."

"And even then... it was only a handful of them plus you. I understand your concern to be a hero for your city, Peter."

She felt Peter's eyes on her.

"Is something wrong? Is there something on my chest?"

She dusts herself off, but realizes there's nothing there,

"What are you looking at?"

She strokes her chin before asking,

"Do The Avengers also adventure? What do you mean they won't always be around?"

"I like that. 'With great power, there must always come great responsibility.' Hm."

She smiles to herself,

"And yes, um... that lady in the armor, she told me that usually a team called the Fantastic Four usually handles intergalactic relations and threats, but they were off adventuring."

"That's very noble of you, Peter... but why are you Spider-Man? What being chose you? What made you answer the call?"

She titled her head, awaiting his response.

|| kinda crazy that the idea for this flip, (spider-man to shalla-bal) sprang from a ship idea, and it's becoming one of my favorite characters to write.

SHE IS SO FUN.

"And you Peter Parker? Tell me about yourself. Anything. Whether I know it or not. I will listen."

"I wouldn't hesitate. I would doom myself to spare Zenn-La and my daughter in a heartbeat."

She paused. Taking a breath. Not that she even really needed to. She just noticed little things Peter would do when stressed. Or... anything Peter did. She studied him as intently as he studied his books.

Especially, spending her time with Peter. The boy who saw something more in her that day. Who didn't give up until he'd found it.

Or... on a sadder note. I had died and been reborn. I felt the sweet release of death in that moment. Only to have it ripped away. To be given..."

She gestured at herself,

"This... I never felt that joy, that bliss, again."

The closest thing to joy she had experienced, were the little moments.
