The Room, All-Speak, and A Game! [Edited]

Spectre POV:

And then the women were left...

It always tickled my funny bone how Aldrif just did not seem to tolerate Mystique at all!

Not to be mistaken, she would totally understand and follow the tender, loving, and strict Natasha, as well as the fierce, strict, yet cool Elektra.

But even if Raven copied everything about the other two perfectly, while one was not in the room, Aldrif ALWAYS somehow knew she was not them, and completely ignored her!

It was so amusing to the sight, every time Raven said or commanded something Aldrif would just ignore her, as if she could just recognize she was a fake and did not tolerate fakes...,

I guess Kraven's games worked too well, in teaching her to ignore distractions. At least now we know that once she recognizes someone, she will never mistake them for someone else, no matter how similar they may seem.

Another 10 years passed by, and now Aldrif did not just crawl, she ran, and talked in complete sentences! Sometimes, that would not be too good for me though...

...

-Lady Death's Castle, Aldrif's room(Frigga & Odin's room) {The Asgardian Royal Family's Room}-

I was watching over baby Aldrif as she 'slept' and once her parents were actually asleep, I notified her through our connection. 'NOW!'

At that moment Aldrif's eyes snapped open, and she focused her eyes on her crib until she saw blue and black, glowing runes come to life all over the room.

Her parents had finally resorted to magic not too long ago.

She focused only on the runes and erased them all at the same time, successfully avoiding alarming her mother through their activation.

Then she proceeded to run through the door erasing it. Running all the way down the halls, and corridors, completely unrecognizable to the royal guards, thanks to the hide-and-seek games with Wolverine, and Kraven, until she reached the Throne Room, where Lady Death handled her work.

She ran up to her lovable aunt, and with the cutest expression she could muster raised both hands up to her.

Lady Death both moved, and amused would usually pick her up, and continue her verdict of the spirits, sometimes she would consult Aldrif, and ask her for the spirit's verdict..., The spirits NEVER stood a chance!

EVERY! TIME! One tried to fool her to get the sentence lowered, she would answer with one of her new favorite phrases. "OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!" Which was All-Speak for both 'Off wid del heads,' and 'the worst punishment' they could get!

Lady Death and I would chuckle so much, well she did, as she still had to remain composed in her own Throne Room.

I, on the other hand, laughed myself to TEARS from my hiding places, usually with Luke, who also facilitated, encouraged, and enjoyed Aldrif's theatrics.

But the fun would have to end, as at some point her parents would come furious and fuming down to the Throne Room, calm themselves down in front of Lady Death, pick up their daughter, and return to their room.

Luke and I would usually leave by this point, to not be implicated, but this time since I was so involved I felt the need to stay behind... IT WAS A MISTAKE!

I knew it, I saw it coming, but it was only ten seconds, and I needed to try to salvage the situation as much as possible. I DID NOT!

In their room:

Frigga asked with a frown, and defeated look, "Baby how did you escape this time?"

Aldrif looked straight at me, while I just shook my head from side to side furiously, then looked back at her mom and responds. "Ah, well, um, I learned how to focus on the runes, and erase them from Un-"

"Cough! Cough! Wow it suddenly, got so chilly in here, he, he, he..." I chuckled nervously as Frigga and Odin gave me an accusing stare, the moment they turned to their daughter, I blocked all magic perception towards my person, except for Aldrif's, and desperately mouthed toward her, 'I learned it all by myself', and winked twice... THAT WAS ANOTHER MISTAKE!

Aldrif with wide playful eyes, after her brain loaded the command for a few seconds. "...Right, I learned it all by myself!" (Wink, Wink) She winked twice in my direction, ANOTHER MISTAKE.

Frigga, with a smile that was not a smile, frightened Aldrif into answering honestly.

"IT WAS UNCLE SPECTRE! HE SHOWED ME AND ALSO TOLD ME WHEN YOU WERE ASLEEP TO WAKE UP AND PLAY!"

"Well, it was nice seeing all of you, rest well, see you in the morning!" (Traitor! I whispered to Aldrif, who sent me a playful smirk!) She knew exactly what she was doing!

...

Aldrif POV:

In the cutest baby voice. "I AM ALDWIF ODINSDODDIL! AND I WILL BE DA BESTEST HUNTWESS!"

"Sure thing Bub, but until you can find me and Kraven the mad, you ain't gonna be no 'bestest' huntress." Said Uncle Logan with a biiiiig smirk.

"What the wet mutt is trying to say, is that until you can disappear from in front of others, as well as find them, without any of your abilities and powers, only through pure skill, will you finally be the bestest huntress." Added Uncle Kraven with a biiiiig grin like Uncle Logan's!

"Well, I see you wight now! Does dat count?"

Both Uncles looked at each other and started laughing at me!

"Why ale you laughing?! It's twue wight?!

They both looked at me and said, "Do you wanna play a game?"

My eyes light up in excitement! "A GAME!? YES!"

Uncle Logan said, "We are going out to hunt a pack of hellhounds."

My eyes lit up even brighter, I was so excited, I was jumping for joy!

Uncle Kraven then said. "But not just any hellhounds, but the children of Cerberus, what do you think? Are you up for some extreme hide and seek, and tag?" He finished with the biiiiiggest grin yet, and I was completely copying it as well.

"I DO WANNA PLAY WID DEM!"

[Author Here:

Sorry, I took so long and only wrote this much. I have been feeling unwell recently and possibly have Covid, again..., anyway writing with an increasing headache is a literal pain, thus why it took me so long to write, and even this, is about half the chapter I was planning on writing, but I did not want to keep you all waiting anymore, I hope you enjoyed it, and especially the coming chapters.

GRAMMAR POLICE TAKE IT AWAY!->

- Did the switch from a specific situation to a generalized one, and back again feel weird? (Referring to the scene where Spectre is describing Aldrif's escape, and capture from the room)

- Does the Asgardian All-Speak make it so that anyone can understand you, and you them, or does it grant instant language mastery even for a baby?

- Should I keep the All-Speak proper translation of Aldrif to other POVs only, and keep Aldrif's speech learning curve in her POVs for now, or should I just make her speak right, even in her own POV?

I invite you to join me in Discord and talk about the fanfiction.

Also, please join and support my Patreon, I have a pole currently up, on what benefits I can offer tier members, and should also have comments, so you can voice your own wants if they are not there.]
