Jay gently placed a kiss on Natasha's lips, caressing her back, when the watch shined, turning into picomites, entering Natasha's body. He caressed her cheek, whispering, "This should be enough to help you survive in Dormammu's domain."

"We have more serious matters to talk about," Natasha furrowed her brows when Jay kissed her lips again, making her close her eyes.

"No. I think I have a solution for that," Jay gently kissed her cheek, making Tommy grin, "Of course. Dad always has a solution."

"See, the kid knows what he's talking about," Jay shrugged, "Now go. Handle Dormammu for me? Both of you."

Natasha let out a tired sigh, "Whatever, we are going to have this talk when this is over."

"Yeah. We will," Jean patted Natasha's back, gesturing towards the door, "We don't have the time for this."

Natasha pressed her lips, "I'll be back soon, Jay."

Jay nodded, watching her leave as Tommy followed after her, "Lavena...Galacta, go with the two of them. You'd be of much help."

"No! I thought you were going to keep the children away from him!" Natasha's footsteps stopped when she looked back, frowning.

"Babe, I believe the power you command, combined with theirs, would be more than enough to keep them safe," Jay shrugged, "Anyway, they were already planning to sneak off."

Tommy grinned, flashing, appearing in front of others, "Dad, knows us so well."

Lavena curled her lips, "No one asked you to come."

Tommy grinned, gesturing towards Billy, "Come on, bro."

Billy waved his hand, "I know my place. With my magical powers... It will only make me a more delicious target. You guys go on ahead."

Natasha nodded when Lavena pulled her hand. The two walked out of the room, teleporting to the Dark Universe.

Jay took a deep breath, walking over to Billy, giving the boy a hug, "You were always the smart one."

Billy closed his eyes, with his hands inside the hoody's pockets, whispering, "You really are leaving."

"Not exactly leaving," Jay patted Billy's head, "I still have two avatars here."

"Let me come with you."

Jay chuckled, "And separate you from your mother? She'll never forgive me."

Billy let out a smile, opening his eyes when Jay walked over to the bed, sitting down, "Let me show you something, kid."

"I am not a kid anymore," Billy walked closer when Jay spread his palm, gesturing Billy to focus.

Billy sat down, looking closer, when Jay made a fist, opening it, showing the virtual image of Sokovia.

He closed them again, opening to show the image of the continent, again, and this time there lay Earth. The next time, there was the solar system, then the galaxy, and finally, the universe, "If I wish. I can see all, know all.  Because everything is in the palm of my hand."

"It's your gift," Billy gently whispered, "I know. Mother told me."

"Not just my gift," Jay closed his fist, looking at Billy's face, "You are my son."

"What?" Billy tilted his head, "I know you treat me like one, but we were-"

"No, Billy. I used my powers to put a part of me in both of you. To make sure that you are a real existence, not the sons created by Wanda's powers. You, my child...are my bloodline. It might not be strong in you like in Lavena, but I believe...you have the sight."

"Sight?" Billy raised his palm when Jay stroked his head, "Let me show you again. More closely, this time."

Billy raised his eyes that abruptly expanded, reaching far above, seeing the whole Sokovia from a bird's eye view. He could see every human, every animal, every insect, every atom, the cause and effect that connected everything, the grand design.

He hurriedly stepped back, falling down on his butt, with fear etched over his face, "No!"

Billy breathed heavily, sweat covering his body, the chill spreading through his body, "What...what did I see?"

"The Grad Design, every life, death, event, creation, destruction, action, and reaction from the beginning of continuity/totality until the end of everything known, unknown, imagined, or forgotten. If I wish...I can see everything. That is my sight. My bloodline."

"Huh," Billy held his head, "You never used this power to the fullest extent, did you?"

"No, never. In fact, I barely touched the surface of this power," Jay rubbed the back of his neck.

"Lavena holds the sight, but hers is still young...it's enough to crush her. I believe that you can achieve something similar. You possess the talent for it," Jay smiled, "You not only have my blood but a little bit of the essence from an elder god. Which I might have stolen when your counterpart came here."

"He came here? Or you guided him?" Billy looked at his father with suspicion.

"Mm, he came, and I might have guided him to Sokovia. So, you know," Jay shrugged.

"Why now? I just saw you know...the strings that come out from you...the cause and effect are divided into three. I know that even gone...you will be here."

"I know," Jay lightly nodded, "Let's call it a...bad habit. I don't like to mix the lives I live. Other than in the matters of woman...anyway. Right now, my Sephiroth body is being held down by the Darkforce. The other is walking the path that would let me deal with that same Darkforce...this one was supposed to deal with Dormammu and Mephisto. Since I can't do that now...I can only put this burden on you. Before it's time."

Billy gently nodded; his brown eyes turned blue, glowing as he created a sphere of blue energy between his palms.

Jay frowned, "Don't use it so recklessly, the sight...it doesn't take your lifeforce, energy, or things like that. It will eat your humanity."

"I need to see it," Billy's eyes glowed even further, "To know...where you won't be lonely, Dad."

Jay gently smiled, "Take care, my son."

Billy closed his eyes, creating a portal that sucked Jay in; a tear slid past his cheek, "Sorry, Dad."

He wiped the tears, closing his eyes, nibbling on his lip, crying harder, "Ha, so I do have a dad. Could have told me sooner."

Genosha,

Wanda widened her eyes, "What happened? Why can't I feel you?"

Sephiroth shook his head, "It's nothing. It's something I have been trying to hide my presence from Dormammu. Since it worked on you, then it must have worked on Dormammu. It will stop the infection from spreading."

Wanda relaxed, holding his palm, "That's good. Still, what happened to Billy? I just felt a jump in his powers."

"I just let him borrow a little bit of my strength," Sephiroth lay down on the bed, "Wanda...I love you."

Wanda put his palm on her forehead, "I know...I love you too."

Sephiroth chuckled, closing his eyes, "Just remember that... later on."

"I will always."

He stood up, "It's ready."

Wanda created a portal, taking his palm, stepping inside the Prometheus Type-2,  "Yes. It is."

She turned her eyes towards the machine in the center. Seeing a similar compartment to the machine that created the Heart of Innocence. She looked around, seeing White stand next to the machine, "Where are you? I mean Primo?"

"I have something else to do," Sephiroth put his hand inside the machine, closing his eyes. He might have used his sight for only a few moments, but even without trying, he saw something dangerous in the future. If he needed to stop that from happening, he needed to create something that would act as a stop-gap.

"Master...will this work?"

Sephiroth smiled, "It doesn't matter if it will or it won't. What matters is...I want it to work."

A scarlet glow appeared in his green eyes, "For one moment, I am the Grand Design, The Master of the Universe, and that...is enough."
