The Road Goes Ever On and On...

pummelwhack:

LET’S TALK ABOUT THIS.

LET’S TALK ABOUT THE FACT THAT VAL SPENT MONTHS TRYING TO DECIDE WHAT IT MEANT TO BE A SHIELDMAIDEN, SORTING THROUGH DOZENS OF MIDGARDIAN SUPERHEROINES TO FIND OTHERS WORTHY OF THE ROLE AND CAME UP SHORT EVERY TIME.

AND IN THE THREE SECONDS THAT SHE’S KNOWN ANNABELLE, VAL LOOKS AT HER AND SHE SEES THE SPIRIT SHE’S BEEN SEARCHING FOR; SHE SEES A SYMBOL OF HONOR AND VALOR AND COURAGE IN THIS UNIMPRESSIVE NON-POWERED MORTAL WOMAN WHO’S PROBABLY NEVER DONNED A COSTUME IN HER LIFE EXCEPT TO GO TRICK-OR-TREATING.

VAL LOOKS AT HER AND SHE REMEMBERS WHAT IT MEANS TO SERVE THIS CALLING. SHE SEES SOMEONE WORTHY TO STAND BY HER SIDE. SHE SEES IT BEFORE THE ALL-MOTHERS DECLARE ANNABELLE A SHIELDMAIDEN.

VAL LOOKS AT STORM, ROGUE, BLACK WIDOW, JOCASTA, TIGRA, BLACK CAT, SONGBIRD, RACHEL GREY, THE WASP. SEASONED ASS-KICKERS. ILLUSTRIOUS WOMEN.

SHE DOESN’T SEE VALKYRIOR AMONG THEM.

SHE LOOKS AT THIS SHORT, FRECKLED, MORTAL ARCHAEOLOGIST WHO STUBBORNLY ARGUES HER WAY INTO A TRIP TO ASGARDIA, AND VAL SEES EVERYTHING SHE’S SOUGHT AFTER.

I’M LITERALLY HAVING A FIT CULLEN BUNN YOU ARE A MENACE.
