Work Text:
Prince of Wales and Bismarck walked through the Scapa Flow harbour, "You remember what George said?"
"Yeah, this must remain secret," Bismarck said to her.
"I feel so bad that the girl I have a crush on is at death's door," Bismarck said.
"Yeah unfortunately despite her survival, her health has deteriorated and she is basically gonna have an extended leave of absence," Wales said.
Bismarck winced.
While King George V waited outside, Wales and Hood, entered a room that was fit for a royal, if it were not for all the medical devices and cables littering the floor.
At its centre was a bed where Lady Hood lay, the only sound was Hood's faint breathing, Wales didn't need to look at the screen to know the situation was dire.
"She seems at peace," Wales said softly.
"I wonder what she is thinking about?" Bismarck asked.
"Hmm, who knows, her vital is not good, she's dying," Wales said.
"I wish I had never used that damn black cube!" Bismarck said to herself.
"It's not your fault the sirens tricked you." Wales said to her, "Hood would say the same thing, I think she'd forgive you, Bismarck."
"You love her don't you Wales?" Bismarck said.
"Yeah, she is very beautiful, I think you do as well Biscuit," Wales said to the Iron Blood battleship.
"Umm…..Yeah is it that obvious?" Bismarck asked.
"It is," Wales said to her.
Bismarck smiled at Wales, finding 2 chairs, they sat down and made themselves comfortable as they watched over the comatose Hood, within an hour they fell asleep.
Hours later
"Bismarck, Wales, I'm coming in," King George V, Queen Elizabeth, Warspite, Renown and Repulse META entered seeing the 2 sleeping battleships with Bismarck resting against Wales.
"Wake up sis, Bismarck," King George V declared.
Prince of Wales and Bismarck woke up seeing the group, "Uhh….uhh….." Bismarck stammered.
"Don't worry Lady Bismarck, George told me, and Lady Wales, you and I will talk later and where is Repulse?"
"She's with Renown behind your majesty," Wales responded.
"Umm, Lady Wales, I'm Repulse META but we can talk later, right now, let's get this cure to Hood." Repulse META said.
"You know, your majesty, given…." King George began to say when Elizabeth stopped her.
"Hmm…. As I was the one to put Hood in this state, I should be the one to fix it." Bismarck said.
"Exactly, think of this as the start of your penance for your crimes against the Royal Navy," Elizabeth said to the Iron Blood battleship.
Lowering Hood's dress to expose her chest, Bismarck pushed the needle into her and pressed the cure into her.
Carefully removing the needle and wiping away blood and fixing Hood's dress.
Wales and Bismarck grabbed their chairs and brought them next to Hood's bedside, "Come on Hood, I love you too much that seeing you like this hurts so much, please wake up, you are needed, the Royal Navy needs its pride of the fleet." Bismarck said taking her hand.
Wales did the same, "Hood, seeing you like this breaks my heart, please wake up, we all need the pride of the Royal Navy, I love you, Hood, please….."
Hood's vitals improved, Hood's blue eyes opened, "Mmh…. I didn't know you both felt that way about me."
Hood held the pair's hands, once I am back on my feet, I'll happily go on a date with you."
"How about we leave the 3 of you to rest for now." Elizabeth suggested, "I want to discuss some things with our META Renowns."
Everyone quietly left leaving Hood with Bismarck and Wales who with some help climbed onto Hood's bed placing her on top of themselves before all 3 fell asleep.
Several days later, the Court of Camelot
Hood, Repulse-META, Renown-META, King George V, Wales were sitting on the beach of the Court of Camelot.
Monarch and Vanguard stood on the war but their riggings were anchored nearby as was Queen Elizabeth, Repulse-META, Renown-META, and King George V's rigging.
Queen Elizabeth stood with a microphone, "Now please take your place. Don't forget what I've stressed about using only swords, not cannons! Friendship first, results second! Although you can fight hard, click to the end oh click to the end!" she lowered the microphone.
"Your majesty, I have taken your orders to heart," Vanguard said.
"Well, I understand that too," Monarch said.
Elizabeth raised her mic, "Very good-" she said.
Hood sipping a drink, "Seeing their energy makes even I want to try my hand at it."
George turned to Hood, "Your health has just returned and this time, as a spectator, please enjoy this presided over by her majesty, the Queen. Besides, if you appeared on the stage, would all of us be afraid to strike?"
"Besides, your rigging is still in pieces." Wales mused.
Hood giggled, "It's just a feeling, I'm not going to force myself for a while, I have to cherish this hard-earned recovery."
Repulse META sipped a lemonade, "I really miss it, we used to compete against each other like this sometimes…."
Renown META sipping her drink, "Yes… But there was a lot more movement than there is now, and Ember didn't have a ban on cannons, haha…" META Renown giggled.
"The victor of the Vanguard and Monarch will win the right to challenge George V next," Elizabeth said through the mic.
George walked up to Elizabeth, "As her majesty, the Queen would say. I look forward to a duel with the winner between the two." King George V called.
Monarch grinned, "Very well, I've long wanted to compete with you."
Vanguard holding her sword's hilt, "First, we'll see how our sword fight turns out. George V's opponent may not be your turn. Avant-garde don't let up, fight me with all your might!"
Monarch took hold of the hilt of her sword, "Just what I want!"
Queen Elizabeth taking her mic once more, "It is well that both sides hold their swords and salute each other. Then let the duel begin."
"Vanguard and Monarch drew their swords and saluted before they began."
Later on
Hood was sitting at a table outside, Renown, Repulse, Renown META and Repulse META were drinking tea when Bismarck and Wales arrived, "Please sit, Biscuit, Wales."
The 2 battleships pulled up a chair near Hood, "Hey Hood what did you dream about while you were comatose?" Wales asked.
"Well I was on a beach, my sisters were there and so were both of you, you were all in swimsuits."
"Were we?" Wales asked Hood who blushed.
"Yes, you were and looked very beautiful in them, like a summer day I thought," Hood said leaving Wales and Bismarck blushing.
Hood sipped her tea, "I could hear what you said, the feelings you had for me, I feel the same way about both of you,"
"Oh, Hood," Wales said kissing the battlecruiser who returned the kiss. Bismarck blushed more only for Hood to kiss her, Bismarck returned the kiss.
"So now what? Hood's rigging is still at the bottom of the Denmark Strait." Bismarck said.
"Actually Bismarck, we had our King Salvor ocean salvage ship recover the wreckage, once Hood is recovered, we'll rebuild her rigging," Wales said.
"So Hood, Biscuit would you like to go out this evening, I believe Scapa Flow's cinema has a movie on tonight?" Wales asked.
"I'd love to, say dear biscuit, have you ever been to a Royal Isles cinema?" Hood asked the iron blood shipgirl.
"I haven't so yes I would," Bismarck said to the two royals.
Finishing their tea, the three went off to prepare for their date.
