[1st POV]
The city of Attilan was a lot more impressive once you started to walk through it and see the technology in person. It was nothing in comparison to any of my cities and their tech, but it was definitely more impressive than anything on Earth, by a long shot at that.
I noticed that a lot of the Inhumans either looked at me in distrust, disgust, or fear. They likely think of me as a normal human, and humans are not exactly the most well liked people, and they certainly aren't the most open when it comes to people that are different from the supposed norm of the world. Hence why mutants are no longer on Earth.
In all honesty I would have done a lot more to the people on Earth that had been behind the actions against the mutants, but I've held my hand only because of the consequences that would bring. Consequences that I can definitely deal with, but they would be annoying either way, and it would probably risk the lives of my citizens, something I would never do if I had another option.
Medusa and Black Bolt were having a silent conversation with one another, and seemed to think I didn't understand what they were speaking of. But when you have the ability to tell what someone is thinking just from glancing at them, it was easy to read people, even if they were not speaking a word.
And as I had guessed they would, they're talking about me. About who I might be, about what my purpose there might be, all sorts of things really. The stuff that you would assume they'd be talking about in a situation like theirs.
Whether or not they would be willing to join my city was...hard to guess. From my knowledge of Inhumans, they were quite the prideful bunch, and did not like the idea of serving under another person, not that they would be. I'm not a Queen or anything, just someone who wants to save the lives of as many people as possible, and to create a safe haven for all species.
A safe haven that was likely going to need some terraforming soon, as Mars was beginning to become problematic with its normal climate. So, I'd likely be warping it into something like Earth, using a massive world spanning illusion to keep that fact hidden until I am ready to reveal the truth to the greater universe.
Although if Carol Danvers kept searching for my city as she had been, it'd be found sooner or later.
Honestly at this point I am contemplating whether or not it's better to just reveal it to the Avengers and get that annoying part done with. None of them could actually do anything, well, at least as long as Thor doesn't get involved. That man was an entirely different beast, considering he was basically his mainline 616 counterpart in terms of power, just a little more inexperienced is all.
And there was Odin too, who had his eyes, Heimdall, looking for me. The man likely thought I wouldn't feel it, but it's hard to not feel the eyes of the Gods looking at Mars as they have been. And even now I could feel him searching for me, not that he would ever actually succeed in that endeavor.
I am quite the monster at stealth, afterall.
Walking into the main palace of the city, it wasn't long before I was brought into a private room where we could speak. Only Medusa and Black Bolt were here, so I didn't get to meet the pup, Lockjaw.
I want to pet the cutie, sue me. I plan on starting to introduce pets to Malzif, including alien dogs and ones that I myself have created, ones that were extinct in other universes but are reborn anew in this one.
Dogs were man's best friend afterall.
Sitting across from the King of the Inhumans, and his Queen, I glanced between them, trying not to show how amused I am feeling from this act. They were trying to gauge me, or at least intimidate me, but really it was just more funny looking than anything. Especially with what looks like a fork on Black Bolts forehead.
"So, do you wish to begin, or should I?" I asked, looking to Medusa who would be the one to respond.
I'll have to find a way of allowing Black Bolt to speak without destroying a city with a whisper, because my God is it going to get annoying to have to constantly look back and forth between the two.
"What is it you are here for, Gwendolyn Wayne?" Ouch, full name, makes me cringe even hearing it.
"Please, call me Gwen. As for why I am here, I'm here to give you an offer, one that I believe you may find to be...quite interesting" I replied, as the woman looked at me with furrowed eyebrows, evidently confused with this entire situation.
"What is this offer?"
"My people, the Mutants, a sort of...sister species to the Inhumans, have been living on the Planet Mars. We have been growing rapidly over the past couple of years, and are now reaching the point where we are looking to recruit and expand to other species similar to our own. Species that are under constant threat of extinction, and other species. You are the first of the species we wish to invite to live upon our planet" I explained, as the woman frowned.
"You wish for us to...join you? Serve as your subjects?" Medusa asked, scowling at the thought. Well, she just jumped to conclusions rather quickly.
"No no no. There is no one ruler on Mars. There is a...council of sorts, made up of the most important figures, who make decisions together, which are then sent to me, as I am the head of the council, being the one who had built the city of Malzif, and it's sister cities" I explained again, hoping she wouldn't be unreasonable.
"...What is it you are offering us?"
"Simple. I am offering to transport you, your people, and your entire city onto Mars, where it will be merged into a larger city that I have already built for your people. Once there, you will follow the rules and laws set by the council, but in return your people will be safer than before, with new technology, new knowledge, and a level of safety you couldn't possibly have at the moment. On top of that, you will be the first residents of the sister city to Malzif, that will soon host more and more Inhumans from not just this universe, but all universes, just as Malzif hosts mutants from around the multiverse" I replied, watching as her eyes widened in surprise at the mention of the multiverse, and the interested gleam in Black Bolts eyes.
"My King asks what sort of technologies? And what laws?"
"For technologies it's all sorts of things really. Cures to diseases, medical care well beyond anything else in the universe, methods of training and methods of balancing the Inhuman DNA within you, strengthening your powers and granting more control. In terms of laws, it's the simple stuff. No murder, stealing, rape, etcetera. Should they be broken the one breaking the law will get punished severely, the worse the crime the bigger the punishment" I responded.
And considering the looks in both of their eyes, it seems that they were growing more and more interested in my proposition.
"...And how large is this city you have built?"
"It is built to house billions of Inhumans, Queen Medusa. With a spot perfectly built to put Attilan in, which will make the city itself the "New Attilan" if you will. A city that you are welcome to run, as long as you do not go against the laws set, and understand that you are not simply a "King and Queen" anymore, but members of the Council of Mars, in which you will be equal to all the others, and in which you can lose your positions of ruling over the city, should you do anything that is...too far" I said, watching as they glanced between one another.
And it was at this point that I knew...
That Mars was about to get some new residents

That's the end of the chapter!
No idea how to write Black Bolt or Medusa, as I haven't read much on them. So if they're OOC just imagine this is a difference in this universe or something.
Some more stuff will happen before the big stuff in this arc begins.
Anyways, have a good day!
