"Why are you still here." 

Lavena messaged Illyana on her cell, looking towards Ikaris, "Why does it matter to you?" 

"This is the matter of Eternals; you shouldn't be here," Ikaris narrowed his eyes, saying. 

"Oh," Lavena looked towards Sersi and Sprite, who awkwardly looked away, "Right. You made your point." 

She turned her eyes back towards her smartphone, waiting until Sprite couldn't take it, "If you didn't get the cue, then that means you should leave." 

"No, I got that," Lavena chuckled, taking pictures of rare artifacts in Sersi's house, sending them to Illyana. 

Sprite made a fist, "Ughhh...why didn't I see that she was so infuriating."

Lavena sighed, "Hah, I could say the same. You don't get the cue, do you? I am not leaving. I came to Longdon because I thought the worldwide earthquake had something to do with the Convergence of Nine Realms centered around Greenwich. I just came to see how Sersi was doing since I was here...but to be attacked by a Deviant? Something tells me what I was searching for...the root cause is centered around you people. So either you get to do whatever you want under my Supervision or...I can just inform Yohra. You don't want them interfering in your business, right?" 

Sprite looked towards Ikaris, who frowned, "Fine..." 

Sersi let out a breath of relief, sitting beside Lavena, mouthing, 'Thank you.' 

Lavena smiled, sitting down, "Btw, does every Deviant that strong? Didn't you say there were only ten of you? Why did it take three of you to barely defeat one?" 

"No, it could hear itself...I have never seen one heal itself," Sersi confusedly shook her head, "We should go see Ajak." 

"Where does she stay?" Lavena raised her eyes, asking. 

"South Dakota?" 

Suddenly, the four of them turned their eyes towards a portal on the roof as a blonde fell down from it, "Let's go then." 

"Who are you now?" Sprite frowned. 

"My sister," Lavena stood up, walking towards Illyana as she created another portal, "let's go." 

"Where is Gali?" 

"She'll find us." 

South Dakota, Ajak's House, 

The three Eternals and two Humans dropped in, looking inside the house, "There is no one here. Maybe she went to find you?" 

"No, she'd just call us here or wait for us," Ikaris spoke, looking around, standing at the window. He opened the door, walking out, drawing others' attention. 

"What's that?" Sprite looked out, rushing out with Sersi following behind her. 

"Ajak!!" 

Lavena walked out, seeing a woman lying on the ground; her skin had turned ashen, her few circuits visible, dull, "Hmm, what was her power again?" 

"What are you talking about! She's dead!" Sprite shouted at Lavena. 

Lavena glanced at her, "And you are using her death to lash out on me? Who is the worse one here?" 

Sprite clenched her fist when Lavena ignored her, turning towards confused, crying Sersi, "What was her power again?" 

"She could...she could heal..." Sersi frowned, "That Deviant...he..." 

"He was the one that killed her and absorbed her power," Ikaris frowned, "A Deviant that could feed on Eternals." 

"Hmm," Lavena looked around; what worried her was that there weren't any signs of fighting. If she had to think, then the Deviant they faced wasn't that strong before he absorbed Ajak's power. And yet, this was only possible if it overwhelmed Ajak or she wasn't killed here. 

She walked forward, seeing the signs of burn, removing the sand and mud to reveal a deep burnt line. She focused on it, turning back to move towards Ajak's body, calling a number on her phone. 

"Who are you calling?" Ikaris, who had been watching her closely, asked. 

He just asked when there was a pillar of white light that appeared behind them, and from that came out a young boy, sitting on a cuboidal flying drone, "Hey! You called!" 

"9S, you are everywhere," Lavena smiled. 

9S rubbed the back of his head, "No, but I am there for every need of the Royal Family." 

"There is no Royal Family." 

9S nodded, "Yes, you can tell yourself that." 

"Royal Family? Who exactly are you?" Sprite looked up in confusion. 

"Ah, you don't know? This right here is Lavena J. Romanoff! And she is Illyana J. Rapustin. The daughters of Sir J.C. and Lady Natasha Romanoff." 

Lavena rolled her eyes, "You know there is no use scrubbing my presence from the world if you keep telling everyone. Now, get me a suitable coffin to keep her body safe." 

"You are not taking her anywhere!" Ikaris stood in front of Ajak's body, defending her. 

Lavena stopped, "What? You don't want to revive your friend?" 

"Revive her?" Sprite and Sersi looked up at Lavena; when Ajak's chest shone, a golden sphere came out of her entering Sersi's, shocking the other two. Sersi went in a daze, but she came back to her senses. Lavena was squatting in front of her.

 "I guess that decision has been left to you." 

Sersi touched her chest, hesitating, "Can you revive her?" 

"No." 

"Then?" Sersi confusedly looked at her. 

Lavena shrugged, "My father is JC, basically the guy behind most advancement in current times. My Uncle is Sephiroth...the guy that created Yohra, which is actually a race of Automata's. My grandfather is Primo Prometheus, who came up with their designs. So if anyone can...those guys. Or they can just go to your creator and make a deal with him to revive her." 

Sersi shrugged her lips, "Umm, ok." 

"But those three have disappeared, right?" Ikaris narrowed his eyes. 

"Yes, but you want maggots in her body when they come back and revive her or want her body safely stored?" 

"Safely stored," Sprite spoke before them, making Lavena nod towards 9S, who told the drone. 

It took a few minutes before someone else teleported, "Oh, shit!" 

Illyana hid behind Lavena, who took a step back, gulping, "Commander White, why are you here?" 

White looked at the two of them, turning her eyes towards the three Eternals, moving back to Lavena, "An Eternal died, and you didn't report to Omega Flight?" 

Lavena put her hands together, "Please don't tell them! Let us see this through!" 

White knelt in front of Ajak's body, "I think Lord Primo left something in case an Eternal dies. It's called Ressurection Chamber." 

"You have it!" Sprite's eyes shined. 

White shook her head, "Just the blueprints. It would take about a week to make the machine and then virtual testing. Let alone you seem to carry Cosmic Energy, so we'd have to ask permission to get Infinity Stone. Either way, with Lords, it could take months." 

"But it's possible," Sersi stood up. 

"Yes, it is." 

"Then please...take care of her." 

White nodded, picking up Ajak's body, "I'll adhere to your wish, for now. Don't mess up." 

"Yes, thank you, White," Lavena let out a breath, watching the two of them teleport. 

Illyana let out a shuddering breath of relief, "Hah, damn it. I can never stop being scared of her." 

"Nor can I," Lavena felt relieved, turning her eyes towards Sersi, "So? What now?" 

"Now we go find others," Sersi exchanged a look with Sprite and Ikaris. 

Mumbai, India, 

Lavena stood with Sersi and Illyana, watching the movie set, with one of the Eternals, Kingo doing the dance bit, "Hmm, did not expect that." 

"Hello." 

Lavena and fascinated Sersi turned her eyes towards the old Indian man joining his hands together, greeting them with a smile. 

"I am Sir Kingo's Valet. It's a Great Honor to be in the presence of the Great Eternals." 

"Oh, we are not," Illyana pointed at herself and Lavena, "They are." 

Sersi, Sprite, and Ikaris silently gasped, watching the two, still shocked that Karun Patel knew. 

"He's strong?" 

"Ok, Ikaris is the strongest," Sprite proudly said.
