14 Deal

Medusa looked at Magnus with a newfound respect. 'Thank you, Magnus. For telling this to us but I don't see where this is a threat to us as Hive is already banished.'

Magnus smiled. "I have my ways as you have yours. And he may be banished now but he will be back in future. And even if all the Inhumans unite and combine their powers in order to prevent Hive even then they will not be able to defeat Hive that threatens their existence.'

Medusa and Blackbolt both looked at each other solemnly. That was true. No one can guaranty that he won't be able to come back. When he has his own society who are actively trying to bring him back.

"Well let's hopefully pray that he dose not come back. Then we have the other threat which you are actually facing fright now. The scarcity of resources. You all know that the resource on Moon are not sufficient to last you much longer and that's true. In the future because of some reasons the resources will deplete faster and this crisis can kill all the Inumans."

Medusa and Blackbolt both looked at each other solemnly once again. This time they were sure he was telling the truth as what he said is indeed true. The resources which They were lacking in resources and as they were on Moon they couldn't excess many types of resources and they could only survive because of the powers of their Inhuman breathren and the rigid system.

Attilan's society and culture are predicated on a conformist belief system that permits individuality as it applies to genetic development and physical and mental ability, but demands rigid conformity in that each member of society is assigned a place within that society according to those abilities following exposure to the Terrigen Mist. Once assigned, no Inhuman, no matter how great or powerful, can change his or her place within this rigid caste system.

So only the strong were entitled to resources because of this system they were able to survive so long. But they knew that it may fail into the very near future but they were helpless about it. As this was ingrained into their bones.

And they couldn't travel to another planet because of the same reasons. And as for Earth well they can forget about it. As they knew that there were many powerful people on Earth who did not want the Inhumans to interfre with the lives of the people on Earth.

And even though these people were very few in number they still could do much harm to them and even though they could kill these people there was no guaranty that the other powerful people will not be offended and take it as a form of attack and retaliate which will surely kill them.

It had been almost two hours when they finished their discussion. Their heads were spinning with all the information and secrets they had uncovered and been told. But they were determined that they would get all the answers to better prepare for the future of the Inhumans so that even if they died, their race could live on rather than facing extinction.

They decided to rest for a while, as the next day they would discuss more details regarding the plans and actions that must be taken to protect themselves and all the inhumans from facing extinction.

At this moment, Black Bolt started making hand signs. Medusa looked at the signs and then turned to Magnus to translate what Black Bolt said in sign language, but before she could do anything, Magnus said, "You don't need to translate it; I understand what he is trying to say. I can understand the sign language that BlackBolt is using."

Black Bolt and Medusa were surprised because it was not the common sign language used by humans; it was one developed by Black Bolt in order to communicate more easily and also to be used in battle so that the enemy wouldn't understand what he was saying, but Magnus understood even though practically he shouldn't.

Seeing their surprise, Magnus smiled and said, "Don't worry, it isn't lead, just that I decrypted your sign language. It's not a big deal for me.There is no need to thank me. Black Bolt, I came to help you out of my own selfish motives. I'm here to make a deal with you in exchange for this information as well as for my help."

Hearing what Magnus said, both Medusa and Black Bold became a bit apprehensive. They knew that there was no free lunch in this world and that there was a price for the information. And they knew it even more so as they were the King and Queen of the Inhumans, which made them understand all this through politics. Now that they have the information, they naturally have to pay the price too.

Black Boolt asked in sign language along the lines of, "What deal do you want to make?"

Magnus replied, "My request isn't excessive. I just want Terrigen Crystal and the help of your people when I need it. I don't need them to fight people. I just need them for some work that will surely arise in the future and will require their powers to accomplish. I hope you can help me too. I would also like to stay here for a year."

After a pause of a few seconds, Black Bolt signed, ' Okay.'

Medusa then continued from there and said, "You are welcome here as long as we have friendly and healthy relations. We will naturally help you when you need it, and we expect you to do the same in return. Also, I would like to apologise for the attack on you and for my rude behaviour too. But you should understand that we are the King and Queen of the Inhumans, so we can't just let any stranger come and go as he pleases."

Magnus laughed at that and said, "No. I am not offended, though I want to ask, am I still a stranger?"

Immediately, Medusa shook her head and said, "No. You are our benefactor; you are not a stranger."
