Lavena sat on the dining table of a run-down house with the other Eternals. They were in place of Gilgamesh and Thena, who was attacked by another Deviant, defeated by Gilgamesh, but it triggered Thena's Mahd W'yry.

Mahd W'yry was a mental illness unique to Eternal; the sheer volume of their memory caused dementia. It reminded Lavena of the story that Wanda used to tell her about how she held her father regulate his memories and emotions, so he didn't go crazy.

But that wasn't what worried her or the reason why everyone on the table had a gloomy expression. Because Sersi was finally able to contact Arishem and hear his voice and learn of the purpose of why the Eternals were here, their overarching goal.

Illyana ate the pie, making everyone who was silent look at her, "What? I am hungry. Also, I think I have a solution."

"What solution?" Kingo curiously asked.

"Lavena, tell them my solution," Illyana gleefully ate, praising Gilgamesh, "Awesome cooking."

Lavena rolled her eyes, "First thing first, let's cure Thena of her madness."

Thena raised her head, "Me? How?"r

"Right, we have tried everything; there is no cure," Gilgamesh shook his head.

"You haven't tried magic," Lavena crossed her legs, messaging someone.

"What is your network? I am not getting any bars," Kingo tried to peek in Lavena's cell, making her chuckle, "It's a Private Network, Yohra's. It's available throughout the three Earth's."

"Get me one?"

"Sure."

"You mean those Wizards? Like Harry Potter?" Kingo's Valet, Karun asked.

"Yes, and No. You see, my Grandfather, Primo Prometheus, lived for a long time, about 25000 years. He faced the same problem, so he removed the emotions from memories every 3000 to 4000 years."

"Removing emotions...isn't that the same as killing yourself?" Sersi uncomfortably asked.

"Yes, it is," Lavena didn't deny that, "But in the case of Thena, we are going to remove emotions from before 7000 years ago's memories. The memories of her last planet, those emotions, are what's trying to surface. Once they are removed, those memories are like data packets, read-only. It should be more than enough to cure her of her...episodes."

"We can't go to Doctor Strange, and we don't want Omega Flight interfering," Ikaris rejected the idea.

"No, need. I can help with that."

Ikaris jerked his head, seeing a boy wearing a black hoodie walk out from bluish light, "You..."

"My brother, Billy J. Maximoff."

Billy took out his hand from the hoodie, waving at everyone, "Hey."

"Hey," Karun, Gilgamesh, Sersi, and Kingo waved back while Thena closely watched him. He walked over to her, putting his hand on her cheek, "If you don't mind."

Thena smiled, shaking her head, "No...thank you..."

She just said when her eyes were covered in blue light, like Billy's, magic swirling around them as they slowly turned golden, and she came back to her senses.

Billy removed his palm, frowning, "Emergence...you have trouble on your hands."

Lavena sighed, "I know, just don't tell anyone?"

"Ok," Billy waved his hand, opening the portal for himself, leaving, "Westwood's second season is about to come out, so don't let the Earth get destroyed. I am looking forward to it."

Lavena chuckled, "Right, thank you."

"Wait, wait, it's done?!" Gilgamesh got on his feet, trying to stop Billy, who closed the portal. He turned towards Thena, who stood up, holding her head, "I remember...everything."

"Good, now we can come up with a plan."

Amazon Village, Church,

"So the plan you come up with is for me to put a Celestial back to sleep?" Druig stood against the table.

He put his hand behind his back, talking to them, "Do you all remember this place? This is where the last time we all lived together. I have protected these people for 20 generations now...from outside and from themselves."

He stood in front of Karun, "Your kind, my friend...I was so sure that your kind would be responsible for your own destruction and that someone needed to be in charge, to guide and protect you. I am glad there is someone like that now."

He turned towards Lavena and Illyana, "That's why it's an honor to see you here."

Lavena shook her hands, "That's just my Father..."

She shrugged her mouth, "Grandfather, Uncle...Mother...and other Mother..."

Her voice became smaller and smaller as she sighed, "Wow, starting to feel so useless right about now."

Illyana held her hand, "Me too, Sis, me too."

Druig smiled, "You are still a child...I hope you find your place in all this. If Earth survives."

"Let's go; he has no plans of helping us," Ikaris started walking towards the door.

"We need him," Sersi tried to talk to him as he started marching off.

"Ikaris! We missed you," Druig shouted, forcing Ikaris to stop, "It must be heartbreaking to find out you are not mother's favorite."

"I am sure she'd be real proud of what you have been up to."

"Druig, this is serious," Sersi got on her feet.

"I'll tell you what's serious," Druig walked towards her, "I just learned that for 7000 years, we have been sent on a suicide mission. That everything we knew about ourselves was a lie that the meaning of our existence was a lie. So forgive me if I don't give a shit about your plan."

He marched out of the room, shutting the door behind him.

"Druig sucks," Kingo spoke, breaking the silence.

"He does, Sir," Kingo's Valet agreed, hearing Lavena chuckle, looking at him, "I like you two."

Night,

Lavena sat on the roof of the house when she heard the footsteps, making her open her closed eyes, "Illyana...are you asleep?"

Illyana sat down beside Lavena, taking her hand, "What are you trying to do, Lavena? This is too big."

She pressed her lips, "We shouldn't be the ones dealing with this."

Lavena breathed in, lying down on the roof, putting her head on Illyana's thigh, "You know when Dad took away by True Sight and gave it to Billy. I realized that it's not that I couldn't control it...I just never had enough discipline to control it. The temptation was too much.

Illyana stroked Lavena's blood-red hair without saying anything.

"When I got it back...I started training my willpower...controlling the True Sight...it was like being on drugs...it was hard at first. But now I have been Six Months sober. The more I don't use it...the stronger I seem to be becoming...and I can feel the stronger is my True Sight."

"Did you use it recently?"

"No, but recently, it's starting to slip. The moment that Worldwide Earthquake hit us, Sersi's face just appeared in my memory, and I came to see...what it could have meant."

"Now that you know?"

Lavena turned in Illyana's lap, "You know why Dad closed the Gates to Hell? Or don't see us anymore? I think it's because I can't control my thoughts around him now..."

She scoffed, "I am having sexual thoughts about my own father...no wonder he doesn't want to see us."

"Well, to be fair, he is gorgeous and boiling hot," Illyana giggled, "And now he's the Satan...because he could seduce anyone. Let alone now his existence breaks down the walls of morality."

Lavena turned her eyes towards Illyana, cupping her cheek, "I feel it...Every bone in my body screaming that I need to see this through...without others. And I'll find the key...I'll find a way to reach Dad."

Illyana puffed out a breath, "Ok, if you say so...then I'll protect you till you decide to use your powers again."

"Thank you, Ana."

"I'll protect you too."

Illyana blinked, looking towards Gali, who appeared to them, "You already knew about Celestial and Emergence? Is that why you disappeared?"

Gali took Lavena's palm, pressing her lips, "I didn't want to lie to you."

Lavena gently kissed Galacta's palm, "Yeah. I understand."

Illyana rolled her eyes, "You know...reminds me of how Dad fell in love with Mother Natasha."

Lavena blinked, "You think it's the same?"

"It's similar."

"No, it's not," Galacta curled her lips, "I would tell if I wasn't worried about the Cosmic Entities coming here. And take me back because I was interfering too much."

"That's true," Lavena smiled, "This is better."

*BOOM!*

"Deviants," Galacta said, making the other two glared at her.

"What? I came to protect you, right?"
