《Princess Of The Underworld》17| Father Knows Best

"Careful on the eyeliner," I instructed Evie as she did my makeup for my date with Ben, "I don't want to scare him away."
Mal snickered from where she lay on her bed, flipping through the spell-book, "Not that you could."
Evie rolled her eyes at her girlfriend, before turning back to me, "Don't worry, my mom taught me how to do makeup before I could walk."
I thought back to my own father and what Lonnie had said about parents making you cookies, and telling you jokes, "I never really learned about the whole makeup thing." I thought aloud.
Evie smiled at me, "Well, I am honored to teach you. I'll be like your big sister, we'll need all the family we can get if we don't pull this off."
My eyes went down to my boots, "Are you afraid of your mom?"
The taller girl nodded, "A little, she's not a barrel of laughs when she doesn't get her way. What about you Mal?"
The other girl looked up at us, thinking about it for a second, "Kind of, I know she loves me. I just wanna make her proud. She gets really upset when I disappoint her."
Evie nodded, looking back at me as she fixed my blush, "What about you, Hads?"
I shrugged, "I know he wants what's best for me in the long run, he's just...a little pushy about it. He says he's prepping me for the real world, well, the real underworld."
The Evil Queen's daughter was quiet for a moment before smiling as her eyes scanned my face, "We're all done!"
Evie then led me over to the mirror, Mal not far behind.
My mouth dropped when I saw my reflection, Evie had really worked wonders.

"Go, on," Evie said from the left of me, her hands on my shoulders, "Say it."
"I look.." I trailed off, not knowing what to say.
"Wicked." Mal cut in, smiling at me through the mirror, "You look wicked."
I smiled at the two girls, turning around to face them, "Thanks guys. Ben will be here-" A knock on the door signaled his arrival, "Now."
I walked over to the door, pulling it open, where Ben stood with two helmets under his arms, his jaw dropped when he saw me. I guess the change was pretty noticeable.
"Close your mouth, Pretty Boy." I told him, pushing his chin up, "You'll catch flies."
Ben shook his head, smiling at me, "Sorry, it's just for the first time I understand the difference between pretty and beautiful." He looked at me for a couple of seconds before holding out one of the helmets to me, "I hope you like bikes."
I took the yellow and blue helmet in my hands, tossing it back and forth, I had never ridden a bike before.
I smirked at him, "Let's find out."
As Ben lead me down the hall I looked back in the room just in time to see Evie and Mal mouthing, "Good luck."
I was gonna need it.

Anchor Points: Age of Heroes
If you had a chance to reset history, knowing what we know now, would you take it? Six years after kicking an alien expeditionary force off the surface of the Earth back to their staging bases in the asteroid belt, and aided by stolen alien technology, the United Terran Republic Navy has finally achieved enough warship production to put the enemy on the run. Despite the facade of unity projected by the Earth's new federal government, deep cracks still lie under the surface that threaten the stability of world peace and the ability to protect humanity with a unified military response. Within this backdrop, the North American Union, now a mere state in the greater union, has created or reopened multiple off-books projects and black sites to house secrets both old and new that would be far too toxic or dangerous to be known to the wider world at such a delicate stage in world history. One of these secrets will draw Captain Henry O'Toole from his comfortable posting with the Jupiter Fleet straight into a world of conspiracies and secrets that could destroy the new, still fragile world order. Captain O'Toole will take command of mankind's first true starship with a secret mission that would be seen as treason by the new federal government. His orders are to use a prototype faster than light drive to travel through dimensions higher than spacetime and ride the expansion of the universe to create an off-books colony solely for the NAU. There are consequences for escaping time's jealous grasp, which instead position them to have a chance to change the course of human history. Fate has called the Indomitable Will and her crew into the Age of Heroes, will they be able to rise to the challenge?
