Floating (open)

[Power Princess]

Zarda floated in space almost lifeless but she was very much alive she only had her eyes closed. Tuning out the world and the sounds coming from it below her. She was there waiting for what you might ask? That was her business and one would find out when the time had come until then she wasn’t going to move from where she was. If people were smart they wouldn't bother her but no one was that smart it was only a matter of time before someone came along and disturbed her.

[Thanos]

Someone, or something. The Slave appeared, a massive ship that had recently been modified. Large, but still as stealthy as the early models this one comes from cloaking to orbit around Zarda. Inside the Mad Titan sat watching. A grim look on his face.

He'd been wondering what to do with her for a while. Least a few moments. Zarda, was a strange specimen. Of an alien race. Her powers were incredible and if he could harness her. Tether her down to his will. Than he'd be the master of all in no time. Able to smite any enemy. However, she's the mental skill of a child. She would sooner rip the wings off a butterfly than know of its other uses.

That's the hard spot. Her mind is of no use to him. Her power and body were. That's the only thing he needed. Standing tall he followed the halls. By now she's either gotten bored of him or decided to become physical with the ship. He'd meet her hopefully before she got too rowdy.

[Power Princess]

Zarda opened her eyes once she had the strange feeling she wasn’t alone anymore. Who had the power to come up here? She looked around spotting a huge ship behind her where had that come from and why hadn’t she noticed it before? She floated there watching the ship wondering who it had belonged to and why they had it orbit around her.

Confused and annoyed she took off towards the ship she had questions which she was going to get answers one way or another. Zarda narrowed her eyes shot off towards the ship smashing right through the side of it she hadn’t got far when she was greeted by a bunch of robots. Did who ever created these things think they could stop her? She smirked and met them head on tearing into them as they piled on her.

[Thanos]

The drones attack mindlessly for they had no orders. Flying and blasting beams from their eyes. Nothing really to her, but to most they were a problem...

For now they slowed her down. Until the doors open and the head of a drone rolled to his feet. Thanos lifts a boot and crushes it, then he calls, "That is enough Zarda. You have no reason to be so crude."

He stood with hands behind his back. His souless eyes peering at her for now. A smile, he offers out a hand turning it slowly in the air, as he marches toward her.

"It is impressive the display. Your power is as assumed for a missmatch name like the kind you partake. Yet you've no wish to smash pointlessly a few toys here or there. You want to know who I am and what I'm looking for, am I correct?"

Thanos looked to her. He believed he was capable of handling her. Least, this early. Then again she's a strong one.... they would be equals in strength. As well durability... so by all means a conflict did not profit him.

"If you calm yourself. I will explain everything, may we?"

[Power Princess]

Zarda stopped her attack for a moment when Thanos showed up so he was the owner of this ship. “How do you know our name alien?” she was pretty sure she hadn’t met this man before she was sure she would remember a face and bad fashion sense like that. It wouldn’t be something easily forgotten even with her mind in the state it was.

Okay she’ll stop for now but first she punched the robot that was in front of her it had its hands on her chest that area was off limits even to the tin cans in front of her. No one touched that are with out asking first. “Explain yourself then why are you orbiting me what do you want?” she demanded as she watched him he looked like he would be able to put up one hell of a fight that would be fun no one else seemed to be able to do it.

[Thanos]

Thanos heard a last drone be broken. A slight sigh, he rubbed his nasal passage to calm himself. Then he explained. "We have met before my dear. As in another world, another time. Yet that's not important. It is hard to not know you a woman that takes the interest of so many on Earth."

Thanos, showed on a screen as they pass her recent activity in SHIELD, as well a few other occurances... He'd been watching the SHIELD group after the incident with his drones. Testing the resilence of this Earth. For now the heroes are weak. They are manageable. He needed to destroy them and Zarda was a great tool for such a task.

"Simply put I want you, Zarda. I want you to work as a Titan of Thanos, one of my chosen warriors. To become a weapon in a war against the Earth. A planet you have no ties too. So why not serve with me, and earn the rewards of such greatness?"

Thanos stopped, and turned with a smile. A wicked, shit-eating grin that just spelled out 'fucking creepy'. "I had two previous allies. They failed me. Yet you, are too great a power to fail. I know that with my control and your power, there is nothing that could withstand us."

[Power Princess]

Okay now she was confused another world and time? What did he mean by that? She’ll have to find out later. “Great you’re an alien stalker.” she said after she had seen what was being shown on the screens as they passed by. “And why should we work for you?“ she wasn’t just one to jump on the bandwagon of every nut that comes by wanting to take over the world or something like that.

She needed a good reason to join him and the creepy smile he has on his face wasn’t helping him any. “We do not need to be a Titan of Thanos to reach greatness we can do that on our own.” She crossed her arms over her chest “If your last ones failed then you must not be as great as you clam you are if you can’t even choose great warriors.”

[Thanos]

"Mmm, but I chose you. Does that imply you are not so great?"

He had not taken any offense by her. In fact, she's not really too capable of hurting his feelings. Instead, he smiles on and tells her. "They had served a purpose for a time. Yet they failed to meet my honest expectations. So on with my next choice, you. You ask what I can give you?"

He walked to her. Then uncharacteristically he set his backhand on her cheek. Caressing it, he told her, "You can get anything you want. Yet one day that lovely face of yours will wither. I've noticed you take pride in your looks. In your strength. Yet it takes a great deal of work to stay young forever. To that I offer a means to retain your strength and beauty forever. Working for me, you can be as you are now. Without ever fearing your looks going to.... well, you know."

He stepped back, waving a hand. "If that however isn't good enough. Maybe you'd want something else? You have power. Maybe you'd rather some recognition by the masses rather than them dismissing you for another woman on the streets. A rank of queen? Or something like that? Name your price I'll make it happen, if you serve under me."

[Power Princess]

Zarda did move when Thanos put his hand on her face “If you have such power why do you need us? Could you not just kill whoever was in your way and be done with it?” that was something she didn’t understand he claimed to have the power to give her anything she wanted but yet he couldn’t do whatever it was he had wanted her to do.

Of course the mad titan didn’t look like he was one to do much hands on when it came to doing anything. Let someone else do it and if they fail they get blamed and not him or so he probably thought. Hopefully that was the only time he would touch her he wasn’t her type and wasn’t planning anything else for him.

[Thanos]

Laughter met her words. Laughter he used to mask his rage...

"Why do my own work when I can house others to do it for me?"

Was his reply. He went on toward his lab. She wasn't too insulted. So she must believe him somewhat. He walked on and took note of her ignorance to the devices. He could capture her....

No, easier to fool her. Walking along he tells Zarda. "I have some problems still. Some people, are hunting me. Seems I upset a number of powerful beings in my fracturing of things. I'd explain more, but there is a lot of metaphysics involved and you're not one for those conversations are you?"

He stopped and stood about toward her. "You like to be shown and given a good solid explanation. Very well... here, why not sit in this chair? I can show you the tools to alter your youth. Of course, you can trust me."

Bull...

[Power Princess]

Zarda looked around the room they were in it reminded her of Bruce Banners lab only better. This place would probably be a wet dream of his. She doubted the guy even had dreams of women. She stopped in front of some odd looking chair then gave Thanos a side ways look “Do you take us for a fool? We know you do not just give someone what they want with out working for it first.” She had done it many times in the past herself.

They would agree to do something for someone then when it was done they would be rewarded for their work sometimes getting what they asked for other times they would be killed or lucked up to be used as many times as the person wanted before getting rid of them for good.

[Thanos]

Thanos raised a brow. Then he shrugged his head before saying, "As true that is. I can't expect someone like you to do anything for free. My task was rather simple. I wanted you to kill a creature that has been somewhat hounding me. A old creature in some ways...."

Thanos turned, smirking. "If you kill this creature. I might be inclined to work with you. Yet, are you sure you wish to do this task before becoming young forever?"

Either way he can get something out of Zarda. When he strapped her down, he'd remove her will. When she's just a slave, he can make her do what he wanted and that was destroy his enemies. While he was free to seek for the rest of the gems.

[Power Princess]

Zarda stood there thinking about all this for a while trying to decide if she should trust this man or not. Well if it was a lie she could come back and beat him until he fixed it then probably kill him afterwards simple as that or so she had thought it would be. She finally took a seat in the weird looking chair “Do this and we will kill your creature that you seem powerless to beat.”

If Zarda didn’t have such an ego she probably would have realized this was a trap and left or attacked Thanos but didn’t think anyone would try and bend her to their will and make a slave out of her for their own uses.

[Thanos]

A smirk. He nods. "Your trust is commendable. Lack there of, also."

He saw her sit in the chair. Then, he narrowed his eyes. The next she knew a number of straps of thick metallic strapped to her stomach, her legs and arms, and lastly over her neck. At that he sighed and shook his head. "Maybe foolish? Either way... I'm shocked you even accepted such a vicious made up story."

With a device floating in on a tray by some drone. He picked it up and held it, with numerous sharp moving parts. "It is true I do have the ability to do what I said. It is also true, I do not trust your mental state. So in other words before I waste time making you young. I will first, break your will to be that of my own."

He smiled wickedly as he grabbed her by the hair. Beginning to lean forward. "Do not try and struggle. Those bonds are formidable. Only I, or a being such as Thor himself would be able to break them. I do not believe you to have that much strength... yet I do believe you to have enough to be a valuable weapon in my up and coming war..."

[Power Princess]

Zarda glared at him he had just all of that up? Of course she struggled she wasn’t about to be bent anyone’s will let alone this fool. There was no way in hell she was going to stay still for him and whatever he had planned for her. “We will rip the flesh from your bones and feed it to you.” this was one time she wished she had atomic vision like Mark had she would use it on Thanos and that weird device. But she didn’t all she could do was glare at him as she still tried to free herself.
