The morning meeting brought Hyun Soo in with his usual selfish money making schemes. The Muse was truly curious why Big Hit let this man have such power. He was in the middle of explaining his latest plan, this one involved making her look as if she was helping some charity, when in fact the money went to the company, when she snapped "I am not a trained animal, Weasel Man, and I will NOT be doing anything of the sort. If I have anything to do with a charity, that charity will take every penny made. Not your company."

Although Seokjin had not yet technically reconnected with The Muse, he seemed to know and understand her moods. He stood and moved behind the chair she was sitting in, putting his hands on her shoulders to try and calm her. "Yeppeun, Weasel Man is not a very nice thing to call someone." She glanced back at him, "Why? He's being a Weasel right now. Wanting to use a charity to earn more money for a multi billion dollar company? It's disgusting."

     Hyun Soo was not dissuaded by her, and continued to push the idea until The Muse had enough. She stood, 'Queen' coming out of every pore in her body. She stalked toward him slowly, head held high, shoulders set. Looking down her nose at him as if he were an insect, which at this moment she felt he was. "Listen, Weasel. I do not work for Big Hit. You do not own me." danger glittering in her eyes as she spoke. She could finally see a hint of fear in his eyes, and it gave her a sense of power. She liked it.

    Hyun Soo had backed into a chair as she got closer, plopping down into it with surprise on his face. She leaned down and placed her hands on the arms of the chair caging him in with her eyes boring into his,

"I will not be doing anything that I do not deem worthy. Do you understand?" she had not raised her voice, on the contrary it had gotten lower. Quieter. More threatening. Hyun Soo was starting to show a sheen of sweat on his brow and his breathing had picked up, much like prey sensing danger. "He is such a weak man," she thought, ready to break him.

    She heard Seokjin clear his throat, and knew he wanted her to back down. She wasn't going to hurt the Weasel. She just wanted to play with her prey. The Queen had no idea where this feeling of power that coursed through her right now came from, but it was heady.

And none of the other Warriors were quite sure what to do with her.

She leaned a little closer to Hyun Soo, got close to his ear, and simply said "BOO!".

    The little Weasel Man jumped in his seat, letting out a scared little squeak. He stood the moment she let him, and ran from the room. Looking down at the chair, she chuckled. He had pissed himself.

    The Queen turned back to her Warriors, most of whom were looking concerned at her actions. One, though, was simply annoyed with her.

"What?" she asked Seokjin as she sat back in her chair, ready for the rest of the meeting.

"Did you have to make him wet himself? That was highly embarrassing, and I'm sure it hurt his pride." he said in an admonishing tone.

"Pride?" she snorted at that. "A man worthy of Pride would not suggest such a disgusting thing. A man worthy of Pride would not act as he does. I don't know how he got to be in such a position of power in Big Hit, but he does not deserve it. He is a Weasel, and I will treat him as such.". She crossed her legs with the air of finality, placed her hands in her lap, and looked expectantly at the other managers in the room, who were all regarding her warily.

"What?" She asked. "You have no need to fear me. You are all worthy of your Pride." She said, making a motion for them to continue.

    They had all decided to meet for dinner in the suite after rehearsal that night, Namjoon saying they all needed to have some time together. She had quickly gone back to just being The Muse once they had gotten to rehearsals.

The day was almost normal, for them. Jungkook dragged her off for a quickie in the bathroom. Yoongi got his cuddles in while they watched the other's solo stages. Tae wrapped his arms around her from behind at every opening he could find. Jimin brought her a water and they even held an entire conversation about cute cat videos online.

    She was just diving into the chocolate cream pie they got her for dessert that evening when Namjoon spoke up, "What was that all about this morning?"

"What?" she asked, innocently.

Namjoon gave her a knowing look, "You know exactly what. Why did you attack Hyun Soo like that? And what was that feeling I got from you. I am guessing you guys all felt it, too?" looking around at the others, who all nodded in agreement.

Seokjin sat back on the couch with his arms crossed over his head, "Couldn't you tell what it was, Namjoon? It was The Queen. That was the first time she has made an appearance with us. In this lifetime, anyway."

"She was a bit scary," said Hoseok, looking at her like a science experiment.

"Guys," she said, putting down her fork, "It's just another part of my personality. That's all. Just like The Muse is with me at all times, The Queen is, too, Although i had never felt her before today. I don't think that side will be something I need all the time, so I wouldn't put too much effort in worrying about it. But," She said with a smirk, "I do think that's where 'Mother Dragon', as Min-Ho put it, resides. I felt something that could definitely explode given the right circumstances."

Yoongi smiled at her, "I liked it. It was sexy," wiggling his eyebrows at her.

"I did, too!" said Taehyung. "Just don't use it against me, ok?"

She laughed at that and went back to her pie.

They played their BTS Uno game for a bit, with Jimin losing in the end, and got to bed at a reasonable hour. Tomorrow was a full day of interviews and rehearsals, and it only took a few minutes to fall asleep as The Muse snuggled into Namjoon that night.
