Uma had a lot of rivals— more than she could count. Mal, Carlos, Evie, Jay, her own mother… but none of them were anywhere near the top of her list compared to one person in particular. The devil of the seas. You. Uma didn’t fear you necessarily, but she was incredibly intimidated by the power you held above her as a captain— which is why she craved reassurance from everyone else that she was the best in all the seas.
You had been gone for years, and Uma finally got used to taking control again. Everything was great, she inflicted fear on anyone that dared to come close to the ship… but that joy was short lived. Because you returned.
Despite not admitting it aloud, Harry was absolutely over the moon when he heard about your return. The pair of you had always had that tension, that undeniable chemistry that Uma had always been jealous of. And so hearing that you were coming back to the Isle filled him with intense anticipation and desire. He wanted you back in his arms— his doll.
Uma had been on high guard since the day the news was spread, waiting for the day for you to actually come and face her once again. She was stronger now, believed that this time she could take you down and maintain control over the seas and everyone in them.
Until you actually showed up.
