If you tell Dad, I'll make it hail on your head.
No one got anything past Dr. Doom.  No one, that is, except the occasional shenanigan perpetrated by Danica Von Doom.  She wasn't quite certain why it was she managed to sometimes get away with things, though she suspected it had something to do with her mother.  Most people knew the story of Victor and Ororo Von Doom: some stuff went down, Latveria v.  Wakanda style, Dr. Doom ended up striking an off-book deal with the then-queen of Wakanda and after several months of her being his "permament guest" her marriage to T'Challa was over...and her marriage to Doom began.  That was public record, but what few knew was that Dr. Doom, cranky weird old Doom, genuinely loved Ororo and in time she loved him and well...

...at some point Kristoff got himself a little sister who could drop a cyclone in his bedroom as a show of affection.  The little girl was very much the shiny metal apple of her father's eye, very much like her mother in her abilities and behavior and so Danica surmised that it was her father's fondness for her mother that generally let her get away with anything short of murder.

Including those cyclones dropped on a certain elder brother.  And as for that brother, Danica was very fond of Kristoff, so much so that when she did manage to pull something over on their father, it was he that she knew she could trust.  Now that she was more or less grown it was no different, which is why she sought him out this evening, whilst her parents were otherwise engaged.

"Kristoff?"  Danica poked her head in a door.  "You around?"

Kristoff looked up from the book on skein theory. "I am." Pause. Two seconds of looking at her. "What has gone wrong now?"

Insert innocent face here.

"What, I can't come by and see my brother without something being wrong?"

That the last two times she'd snuck up on him something had actually exploded was a bit of business she was going to pretend never happened at the moment.

"This is not the posture or behavior you use when nothing is wrong, Danica. Do you need me for repair assistance, advice, a place to hide, or to distract Father?" This isn't sarcasm. He's completely earnest.

"A combination of all of the above plus possibly an early warning for someone?" She flopped down in a chair.

"It's about Cameron McKenzie."

"And what must His Highness be warned about, especially in matters having to do with Your Highness?" Kristoff's expression is still worried, but getting a pained tinge to it.

"Well...you tell Dad this and I swear I will make it hail on your head..." Danica took a deep breath. "I'm dating him. If you can call making out on a beach every day for the last two weeks dating."

A pause. A breath. A making sure the door security is all in place. "I will do my best to keep your confidence, Danica," he says sincerely. "But clearly, something has developed to make you suspect you cannot keep this secret any longer?"

"Yeah," she says, picking at her fingernails for a moment. "I think Cam's parents are onto us and his mother thinks I'm the devil."

"She will not do anything to you," Kristoff says a bit steelily. "I think the two of you have been a bit... hasty, but you are wel within your rights."

"Hasty?" Danica tilts her head. "We haven't done anything and I have known him since we were little. Who do you think gave me the idea for Kristoff's Personal Hurricane?"

"You have been making out on the beach without telling anyone. That seems a bit -- never mind. I am not the best judge of these things." Your brother is stuffy, Danica. Shocking news indeed.

"I shall have to remember that."

"You think maybe we should invite spectators to the makeouts?" One curious brow went up, then back down. Kristoff probably expected the use of sheets with holes in them for further adventures.

"I'm not worried about Cameron's mom, either. What I am concerned with is her calling Daddy, telling her I'm the devil, Dad getting pissed and sending Doomsharks or something after Atlantis. This would ruin my chances. Seriously."

Kristoff's eyes widen. "No! I mean... you didn't discuss the fact that you were considering dating -- never mind."

"Perhaps you should pre-empt the situation. Tell Father yourself?"

A great deal of color drained from Danica's face.

That was something that caught Danica off guard a bit. She hadn't even considered her mother's opinion in this because Storm was typically more permissive than Doom.

"...she doesn't hate him?"

"Now consider, Danica, would it not be best if, at such time as Father does find out about this -- as it cannot remain hidden forever, especially if Her Majesty has become concerned -- your Mother is there, not hating Cameron and fully informed of the relationship and all the reasons not to hate it?"

"Yes. But...I.." She sighs. "I'm worried one of the adults are going to see this as an excellent political opportunity instead of matters of my heart."

"I didn't say that, Kristoff. I just...I just want to have a normal thing with Cameron without having to worry about how it all ties in with our father's plans and strategies...or Cameron's parents' plans and strategies. There is also the concern that because I am not a nice Atlantean girl I may not even be deemed 'suitable'. All of that drama, it'll happen. I just want to be happy for a little while before it gets tied up in diplomatic red tape.

I love him, and please don't try to say otherwise. It's not like I haven't known Cameron pretty much my entire life."

"I am not going to try to say otherwise. It is not how I would approach such things, but when do you ever do that?"
Kristoff takes a breath. "Taking this one step at a time. If you love him, it is worth eventually acknowledging his people's eccentricities and making a few eventually inconveniences, yes?"

"The possibility has been raised. How else does a man survive in this family?" He smiles and goes in for a slight hug.

"Hailstorms, weaponry, or badass armor. Those generally are popular choices." She smiled and then accepted the hug, giving her older brother one back as well.

"Thanks for always listening, Kristoff."

"Which is why you will just never be as cool as me. It's a fact."

Danica grinned as she walked to the door.

"I'll try to remember that when I feel like I need to create one for you."

He just chuckles. "Have a good day, Danica."
