Chapter 5: A Looming Threat
They went back to the compound. The wedding has been moved for a few days much to Plumette and Kate's disappointment. Belle's room was unchanged besides all of her stuff being moved to the castle.
The day was filled with arguments, explanations, and lots of yelling. Belle willed herself to stay in her room, unwilling to hear about the Titan who will undoubtably come and kill them all.
Tears blurred her vision as she stared down at the ring that gave her so much hope.
Adam raped his knuckles on the door, letting himself in, "Oh, my Belle. You mustn't fret."
He sat down beside her and wiped her tears away with a swipe of his thumb, "Its just, this last month had been perfect. I had you back, the curse was broken, and we were getting married."
"Are. I will not let this news changed that." He held her hands in his own, "I will marry you La Belle."
She leaned up to place a slow, lingering kiss to his lips, "As will I, Bête."
Before this kiss could grow more heated, Natasha came in, "Ooh, sorry for the disruption." Her infamous smirk in place, "But there's something you both need to see."
The couple rose and followed Nat back to the common room. Belle's breath caught and Adam's fingers grew unbearably tight around hers. Standing beside Thor and Banner was Amora and Loki.
"-my brother maybe an idiot, but he is telling the truth. Thanks is coming and he will do whatever it takes to get the stone." Belle could see Vision tense at his words and the worry in Wanda's eyes.
Amora's eyes landed in them and she smiled warmly, "Well, I see my curse has been broken, nice job by the way."
Belle glanced up at Adam, half expecting him to lash out in anger. He hasn't had a fit in a while but that didn't mean they weren't to be expected. To her surprise, he relaxed his grip and met his former flame's gaze, "Thank you, for helping me change my ways."
Amora walked over to them, "No, that was all you, and your fiancé. I just gave you a push."
"And gave him life." Belle added.
Amora shrugged, "Well, yes that too."
Kate stood in front of the Enchantress, "So you're responsible for my friend meeting Adam, falling in love with him, and getting engaged with him?"
"Yes."
Kate pulled the woman into a hug, "Thank you! I thought she'd end up being a old cat lady like me!" Belle's mouth hug agape and Kate grinned at her, "Love you Tiny."
Belle pouted. The last thing she wanted was to be reminded of her short stature, but she knew her friend was jesting, "Love you too, Red."
The gingered haired girl grabbed Amora's arm and pulled her away, asking endless questions about Asgard, "So, you guys have dragons, right?"
Adam pulled Belle aside to give her a searing kiss. Belle reluctantly pulled away, "I'm proud of you, you know."
"Well, if it wasn't for her I wouldn't have this beautiful, courageous, and intelligent woman as my bride."
"Charmer." She pulled his head back down but fell against him as the compound shook. Steve grabbed his shield, "Avengers, were under attack!"
