Ivan was making dinner for himself when he heard noise coming from the fire escape outside his window. He opens the window and his eyes go wide when he sees a girl climbing towards him. He was frozen in shock.
Jinx blushed deep red and she looked back at Ivan in hopes for back up. “I think II’m okay with calling you Eva…” she joked with the woman and she looked down at the ground briefly, “I’m afraid I only just met Ivan a few days ago actually.” she brought up to Ivanka.

“You missed a few,” said Luna who while impressed with what she did a few arrows appeared and hit the queen from behind. “Never assume the fighting is over until you are absolutely sure the bad guys are all down. Since one might be hiding somewhere, especially if they deal with royalty people.”
James sighed figuring Luna had set up a few more traps that he wasn’t aware of. “Don’t worry the paint is easy to wipe away, but Luna is not completely wrong about that. Good thing though these were arrows. If they used a rifle then a bullet will be hard to see or block unless you increase the strength of your ice defense.”
“Yes, actually that’s an accurate description. I had him banned from Arendelle for treason. Why do you happen to know what he looks like?” She asked James. Arms folded out of habit of protection. But her brow was raised as she looked up at him.
“Because, he works for the Kingpin,” said James as he explains that years ago Abigail was confronted by the guy who wanted to offer a partnership, but was only doing it to try taking control of her company. Things didn’t turn out well when she discovered the guy also worked for the Kingpin of Crimes, but due to lack of evidence they couldn’t put him away.
“It might be possible he could have hired the Insidious Six to try killing you. He does have connections with the Kingpin,” said James who figures he might be the only one they have right now who has any connection with them.
She gives a look of concern and worry. “I understand but at the same time I’m still in disbelief at the whole thing. I…..I just couldn’t fathom these people coming after me and Arendelle for whatever reason. I just don’t know what could have brought this since Weasleton made it very clear he thought me having abilities made me a witch. He wouldn’t just go hiring people who also have strange abilities….I wouldn’t think” she said. Obvious concern spread across her face.
“From what we found out he only does it to keep up an appearance he hates those with powers,” said James recalling the stories Abigail told him and how the guy even calls for laws to be passed to do something about this. “Still, don’t be surprised if he ends up using criminals like these with powers to help him with crime.”
“That’s why we should go over there and kick his ass!” said Luna as her motorcycle comes over to her. “Let’s ride!”
James however turns off her motorcycle. “First of all, clam down. Secondly, we can’t touch him as long as his government protects him. Without proof of his involvement we can’t do much about this.”
She hugged herself Tighter while trying to think things through. “What can I do?” She asked. “And we cant go trespassing into his territory Luna. He’d have to come here or mutual ground” she explained to her. By the laws of most monarchy based territories/countries that remained.
“I sent Anna and others to the northern castle.” She mentioned. “Everyone was safe. But I fear Anna will start asking questions and I’m not sure I’m prepared to give her the answers yet” she added. And looked at all the ice and damage done to the garden area and she sighed
James goes over to her and placed his hand on her hand and tries to comfort her. “I think its time she does know. I know we shouldn’t tell her, but if these attacks keep getting worse she’ll find out the hard way. I’m sure she’ll understand why you kept this a secret.”
Luna meanwhile begins making a call to Abigail to let her know what is going on. So, she can be aware of who they think hired these assassins.
“It puts her in danger though. She has a temper and will jump the gun on things. I can’t risk her getting hurt. She’s all I have James” she said and her hand shifted and allowed him to hold it. She breathed out anxiously.

i’m watching trailers for upcoming movies and got to Mary Queen of Scots and margot robbie pulled off her big, noble rich bitch wig and booyyyyy. this hoe out here lookin like IT lil cousin THAT
THATS HOW THEY ALL LOOKED THEN THOUGH!
thats how all them bitches look now under all that bronzer and contour too!
nobody had hair under the wigs?? what were they doing wrong like…it’s a wig
nope! they used to lose their hair. and the white chalky face? to conceal their scars from various diseases, the makeup was made of lead and even vinager and only made the skin worse.but yeah all those “fashionable women” wore that makeup to cover up small pox. (Alot of their skin problems though…were the result of poor hygiene)
I also wanna point out her pupils, which are huge, they used belladonna if they had light eyes, to make them look dark,big and shiny.
and yeah, they wore wigs because they used to shave their hairlines waaaaay back to fake a high forehead. and well, they either shaved all of it off, or lost it because they spent their teens using urine or other chemicals to get “fair hair”. by the time they reached their 20′s and popped out a few kids (and lived) they’d lost it all.
(sorry i just know wayy too much about this period, lol)
margot robbie fucking up her own hairline to portray them old colonizers as they truly were while also undermining the euro centric beauty standards those same uglies implemented across the globe? i stan

Astrid had been patrolling on an island not far from berk. When suddenly she saw something….appear? It was almost dragon like. But something was off. She’d already. Landed and was watching the creature closely from away.
Snotlout noticed Ben’s change in demeanor as they flew over the ship. He immediately made the decision to fly down to it. When he lands with Hookfang he could hear the cries and went wide eyed and slid off his dragon to look for the source of the sound. “BEN! cmon!” he yelled at him.
Astrid smiled, “I suppose we shall see won’t we?” She asked him and breathed out. “I really can’t wait to fly again.” she spoke and looked down at the baby bump then up at Hiccup, “I would like to go for a walk hiccup.” she mumbled and kissed him softly.
Landing next toHookfang Ben turned human as he began looking through the ship for the baby. There was definitely evidence that thieves had ransacked the ship stealing what they could before killing the crew on board. Ben paused before a door where the crying was the loudest. Slowly pushing it open Ben’s eyes were drawn to a small basket as he saw the infant and walked over. As soon as the baby saw Ben walk over she calmed down.
“ Of course Astrid,” Hiccup smiled after their kiss as he gently took Astrid’s hand into his own.
Snotlout stood behind him as Ben walked towards the infant. He stalked behind him curiously and seemed to look in awe and sadness at the sight of the infant. “Let me take it….we need to get back to Berk” he spoke and neared the baby. He went to reach for it but it seemed to get upset at his presence “uh….nevermind….. you and it can just ride with me in Hookfang.” He said to him simply.
Astrid smiles knowing she shouldn’t be walking around but appreciated that he’d walk with her so she could not be so stir crazy. And squeezed his hand as they walked out.
Ben picked up the baby as it seemed to calmn down when Ben held her. She yawned a bit as Ben held he basket close getting on Hookfang after his bethrothed. Ben couldn’t help but smile down as the infant yawned.
The village had made a lot of improvements with the help of the Plumers. Their fortifications were sturdy than before and now could withstand alien attacks and dragon fire.
Astrid was walking with Hiccup around the village. Many people seemed to stop them and say hello or come to rub or see the baby bump. It was nice being out. She thought before she saw Hookfang and the two return. “Hiccup…..are they holding something?” She asked and started to walk towards them.
Snotlout remained silent the baby didn’t seem to like him. As they arrived on Berk he took the basket from Ben as he’d slid off first. And let Ben down.
“ Hey Astrid!” Ben called out to the rider as he saw the baby was fussing around in his bethrothed arms. The alien warrior saw how quiet his mate was as he sighed.” She doesn’t know you yet but I’m sure she’ll warm up to ya.” Ben reassured Snotlout. As the baby calmed down hearing Ben’s voice.
Snotlout crosses his arms after he took the baby. “Whatever. She doesn’t like me! Like every other female in existence” he huffed
Astrid looked wide eyed, “Is that a baby?” She asked them with concern. Then looked at Ben and Snotlout, “oh what did you guys do?!” She begin to get defensive.
“ Me and Snotlout found a merchant ship while on patrol that was wrecked. I was in Nightfury form when I heard her crying. We checked for her parents but there weren’t any other survivors.” Ben squeaked a bit when Astrid raised her voice at him. His arms curling the baby closer to his chest protecting her.
Astrid sighed and relaxed. “You’re sure she’s the only survivor?” She asked then looked up at Hiccup, then back to Ben and Snotlout. “Well she needs a home…..or someone to care for her” she spoke. “Until then I suppose….if Hiccup is okay with it we can take her in for the night so she has the right food” she spoke. Then looked up to Hiccup, “wha do you think?” She asked.
Snotlout looked at Ben, “Well Ben and I found her we should have a say too. I mean Ben should, she doesn’t like me.” He spoke to them
“I’d really appreciate that Astrid. It would give me and Snotlout to talk about what we are going to do.” Ben said as he nods in appreciation to the general before looking over at his chief. “We’ll take her in for tonight.” Hiccup said to the two riders.
Astrid nods and gives a small smile. She puts her arms out and comes close to Ben. She gently takes the infant from him and looks down at the little one. “She’s in good hands…..you did a good thing bringing them here to us Ben. And of course you too Snotlout” she spoke and she begun to cradle the baby. Smiling down at it. “We need to feed her, and get her changed.” She said to Hiccup.
Snotlout looked at how easy the pregnant Astrid could settle and hold the baby. She made it look easy. He thought. He then looked at Ben. “I guess we have a lot to talk about huh?” He asked him. And stepped next to him holding his hand.
“ Yeah I guess we do,” Ben took Snotlout’s hand as the two walked back to their hut. Iona was bounding along playing with Hookfang as the young Dragoness was half of Toothless’s size now. Hiccup wrapped an arm around Astrid’s waist looking down at the infant in her arms curious. “ Maybe this could be our chance to start the family we’ve talked about Snotlout.”Ben said to his bethrothed hopeful for that this was their chance to start to start their family. Despite the fact the hero could get pregnant in his Nightfury form, that was impossible while he was human.
Astrid cradled the baby. She looked down at the little girl “she beautiful. It’s a shame she was found with no one to take care of her…..I’m glad they found her” she spoke to Hiccup as they walked by the dragons.
Snotlout looked at Ben and he chewed on his lip a bit before scratching the back of his head. “Ben I just…..I’m not sure in suites to be a dad.” He put out. He looked down at the ground then breathed. “A baby and raising a baby at that is a lot of work….it’s not a pet. It’s not a dragon” he explained. His heart and stomach seemed to race and thump and sink all at once. He was anxious.
Astrid had been patrolling on an island not far from berk. When suddenly she saw something….appear? It was almost dragon like. But something was off. She’d already. Landed and was watching the creature closely from away.

It’s dawning on me just how genuinely difficult it is to figure out if an FMA character is good or bad when they’re introduced.
And this is because literally 90% of them debut by trying to beat the crap out of Ed. Seriously. If you tally up every good/ally character at the end and divide them into “tried to beat up Ed in their introductory episode” and “did not try to beat up Ed”, I’m willing to bet the first category is larger.
A list of eventually “good” characters who were introduced by assaulting Edward Elric:
Roy Mustang
Winry Rockbell (manga introduction)
Scar
Izumi Curtis
Greed
Greed again
Slicer(s)
Tim Marcoh
Ling Yao
Lanfan
Fu
Mei Chang
Buccaneer
The Entire Briggs Mountain Army
Jerso
Zampano
Darius
Heinkel
I made a helpful collage
Extra fun fact, the series Big Bad, Father, is introduced to Ed by healing Ed’s wounds. Ed and Al spend at least five minutes of that episode thinking “Maybe this dude isn’t so bad” which honestly I understand when you consider 2/3 of the people Ed meets typically try to kill him.
“the entire briggs army”
also the characters whos introduction is friendly tend to be evil people
Father healed him right up without even being asked
Pride fanboyed over him(if only as part of his disguise)
Wrath was impressed with his alchemy and complemented him at the exam
Shou tucker was happy to have them over and share his research
