#they are going to get to know why Thena is called the Goddess of War

[softquietsteadylove]

Let’s do some Christmas stuff! You choose wich AU! A snowball fight :D

"It's snowing!"

Jack's declaration of excitement had woken the entire house as soon as he was up. He was bouncing with excitement over the powdery snowfall all through coffee/cocoa, and breakfast, and presents.

Until Phastos was finally - finally - ready to let everyone outside.

The Genius Eternal yawned as he dragged himself to watch his son from the covered porch. He smiled as he felt his husband come up beside him, laying his head on his shoulder.

"Which number Christmas is this?" Ben asked softly.

"Jack's 11th Christmas, technically," Phastos answered easily as he rubbed Ben's shoulder, "that's all that matters."

"Baba, come on!" Jack waved to his fathers, but they both held out their mugs of coffee as their excuse not to roll around in the snow, at least just yet. Jack rolled his eyes at them. "Uncle Gil?--Aunt Thena?"

Thena, who had been avoiding the snow very purposefully, shot out the back door. Snow was not her favourite weather, and she actually didn't adapt to cold very well for an ageless being of Cosmic Energy. It made her sluggish.

But the Warrior Eternal flew into the backyard at Jack's beckoning, landing in deep - up to her knees - and sliding next to him. She smiled at Jack's excitement, who never tired of the displays of their inhuman strength and speed. "What are we doing?"

He held up a fist sized collection of snow, "build a snowman with me?"

Gil emerged only a few minutes later, with his own coat thrown on and Thena's draped over his arm. He cleared his throat loudly (aggressively). "Ahem!"

Jack blinked over at Uncle Gil, only now realising that Thena didn't have her gloves or scarf on, having leapt out to join in him in only the long sweater dress she had been wearing since that morning. "Aunt Thena, you'll get cold!"

"Eternals can't get cold," she stated rather factually as Jack started pulling off his mittens to try and offer them to her.

"That's not true," Gil corrected freely as he walked into the backyard with them. "Especially about Aunt Thena."

Thena sighed, sounding an awful lot like Jack. But Gil held her coat open for her with an expectant eyebrow raised. She let go of the snowball now rolled as high as Jack's shoulders, and slipped into it. She turned, letting him button it up for her. "Being around Phastos for so long has made you nervous."

"You," he corrected with a kiss to her nose, "running around in the snow makes me nervous."

Thena let him pull off his scarf and loop it around her hair, although she smiled as he used it as an excuse to pull her into a kiss. She sighed, eyes glittering as she watched a few snow flakes get caught in his dark hair. "Lucky I have you to warm me up, then."

"Uncle Gil, can you help us get the head on?"

"Sure can, buddy," Gil chuckled, releasing his hold on Thena to help Jack with the second, smaller snowball.

Jack watched his uncle pick up the snow barehanded. But he had also watched Uncle Gil pull stuff out of the oven without ovenmitts, so maybe he was the one exception to that rule, even among Eternals.

"Just two?" Phastos called out to them from the porch, "it's gotta be three pieces, Gil! C'mon, I'd expect you to know that!"

"We live in Australia!"

Ben hid himself behind his husband as he saw Thena's hand go up. Right in his assumption, he heard the snowball make contact with Phastos. "Oof, that sounded intense, Habibi. Are you okay?"

Thena merely looked at her brother, holding another densely packed snowball in her hand. "Shall you be a Fighter today, brother?"

"Oh, you are so in for it," the Genius Eternal chuckled. He pulled some snow to his hand with his powers, using them to shape it into the most perfect of spheres before launching it.

Gil caught it in his fist before it could reach her, the snow exploding back into powder as soon as it was in proximity to his Cosmic Energy, "nice try!"

"Jack, help your Dad!" Phastos cried out as he dove behind the barbecue for cover.

"Every man for himself!" Jack screamed out in a laugh as Aunt Thena menacingly approached him with a loose handful of snow.

"There's no escape, Jack!" Gil laughed as he caught their nephew, who was prepared for the capture and tossed a snowball at him. "Sneak attack!"

Jack scrambled up the back porch to his father's side. "Alliance?"

"Alliance," Phastos nodded seriously at his son, peeking out to look at the backyard. "They're gonna be hard to fight."

"We can do it," Jack said as his other father crouched down in their huddle as well. "Uncle Gil will get distracted by Aunt Thena soon and then we can get 'im."

"I believe our time is now," Ben chuckled, pointing around the barbecue's covering.

"Gil!" Thena laughed as he wrapped his arms around her waist, spinning them around with snow at their feet. It almost looked like they were still in the snowball fight, but it quickly devolved into him dipping her down in his arms to kiss her amidst their little dance.

"Now, Jack, now!" Phastos whispered, handing Jack a perfectly crafted snowball.

"I don't wanna hit Aunt Thena!"

"Let your father throw it," Ben chuckled, ruffling his son's hat.

Phastos had no trouble taking aim at his sister. But of course, there was no getting a sneak attack in on the Warrior Eternal. Phastos sighed as she let her shield materialise to block their kiss.

Gil pulled them upright again, staring at Thena as the snow fell gently into her already sparkling hair. He stared into her eyes, catching his reflection in them. "I almost forgot how beautiful you are in the snow."

Thena blushed softly, leaning into his touch as he held her cheeks in his hands, "almost?"

"I could never," he whispered before pulling her into another kiss.

Thena sighed against his lips, reaching inside his coat to wrap her arms around him.

Gil's lips gave her an extra little bump as the snowball collided with the back of his head. He brushed it off, of course, turning around to glare at his brother (who was being abandoned by his husband and child, knowing what was to come).

Thena, already crafting the densest snowball yet, relented as Gil held his hand out. "Don't crush it."

"I won't," he laughed, holding it just so and letting his Cosmic Energy build up behind his hand instead of in his palm. Ben held Jack a good distance away, both of them laughing in preparation for what was to come.

"Now, Gil," Phastos held his hands out, moving away from his precious barbecue so it wouldn't get caught in the crossfire. "Let's just...talk this through."

But Gilgamesh was already laughing. "No one interrupts me when I'm kissing my wife!"

The snowball flew, faster than any pitch any human professional could make. The ball of snow hit Phastos like a brick, tossing his sturdy body into the side of the house and then down to the powdery snow below.

Ben laughed. "Darling, are you okay?"

"Fine," Phastos grumbled in return. It had been a long time since he'd trained or sparred with any of his relatives. How could he forget the punch Gil packed in whatever he did? And this was Gil, joking around and having a good time. If Thena decided she wanted to get serious... "I yield!"

Thena had been preparing an attack of her own when she heard his admission of defeat. She sighed, knowing it would only be dishonourable to attack him now. She dropped her tightly packed snowball - half of it pure ice - to the ground, "fine."

"Dad!" Jack ran over to his father to help him up. "That was so cool!"

Gil wrapped his arm around Thena's waist again, all of them slowly heading back inside after their little battle. "You get it out of your system?"

"Hm," Thena mused. Gil wasn't asking if she had burned off her energy; he was asking if she was going to try and get revenge on Phastos later for the snowball he'd thrown. "Maybe."

Gil kissed her cheek, "Ben and I will be cooking dinner in the kitchen. Just don't do anything to damage the house."

"Of course," she murmured, letting her husband nuzzle his cold nose into the hollow of her cheek. He took her coat right off of her, as well as the scarf that had, at one time, been Phastos'. She pulled Jack's hat off his head for him.

"Aunt Thena, come on, you can show me how to use my new sword game!" Jack beamed at her, pulling her to the tv where Ben was hooking up the motion sensors necessary for it.

Phastos smiled as his son excitedly booted up his new game. Thena looked ever serious as the Warrior Eternal, but Jack could have no one better to show him how to stand and how to move without hurting himself. As much as it was in her nature, it was a nice change to see her smiling as she instructed.

"Cute, isn't it?" Gil chuckled beside his brother before setting his stockpot full of ingredients. "Be careful, though."

"Huh?"

"Thena hasn't forgotten you nailing me in the back of the head with that snowball," Gil advised as he started sharpening the knives and Ben pulled the turkey out of its salt brine. "She's still gonna get you for that."

"Oh, come on, you already got me," Phastos sighed, although he knew it was true. His sister was the Warrior Eternal, and she did not forgive any transgression against the Strongest Eternal.

"Yeah," Gil snorted, "but she didn't."

"I'm sure Thena's more mature than that," Phastos said loudly, as if that alone would keep him safe.

Thena listened from where she was watching Jack play his new game. She grinned as she heard Phastos scream at the top of his lungs. He could assume about her maturity all he wanted, but she had put snow in his slippers, in the sleeves of his house robe, even inside his news paper, all in the name of her husband.

#I'm bumping this up in the queue #because it's mistlefoe season #happy holidays everyone #I hope you're taking care of yourselves #Jack and Thenamesh again #because we're here for good vibes today everyone #but is Gil still going to flirt with his wife? #of course! #Thenamesh #always has time to flirt #whether they've been married for hundreds of years at this point or not #And if anyone #has the audacity to throw snow at Gilgamesh #they are going to get to know why Thena is called the Goddess of War #especially if he's their brother #I mean she's already taken his scarf from him #Jack gets to see his dad actually acting like siblings with them #and Phastos gets to see them acting like a family with his son #everybody wins

✧.* Extra - Reader is hinted to be from the West Coast of the U.S. Reader is hinted to being Latina. Reader is hinted of being a variant of Thena from the eternals. Miguel is a tiny bit out of character (and by that I mean a little bit nicer).

✧.* Word Count - 2,256

Miguel never really saw or thought of himself getting close to anyone. It's canon that every time a spider person gets close to someone, they get put them in an immense amount of danger. That's the sole main reason why he never wanted to get close to someone. Until he met her.

"You know Miguel, you're so negative. Why can't you have fun for once?" Y/N asked.

Miguel just ignored her snarky comment. He always said he didn't have time for stupidities and that he had too much work, he couldn't be distracted. There are some moments that people would think he was absent from the building because he's always locked in doing his multiverse work. and this was one of the times people thought he was away.

"Hey, come on. You need a break. You look like you haven't slept in day-"

"That's because I haven't." Miguel interrupted Y/N in an angry annoyed tone.

Y/N just looked at him and furrowed her eyebrows, " Ay, pero no te 'nojes. I'm just suggesting what's best for your health."

"I don't have time for your dumbass comments, Y/N. If you don't have anything useful to say, then don't say anything at all." Miguel replied and continued looking at different scenes from different dimensions.

Y/N just stayed quiet and sulked in the chair she had set next to Miguel. She hated when Miguel would get mad at her, especially if it was her fault. But oh how she loved how hot he looked. Her stomach would twist in guilt at him yelling at her, but she couldn't deny that she would get a little aroused.

A few minutes went by of pure silence. The only noise being made was the noises Miguel's devices were making. Y/N looked up at Miguel and smiled.

"You know, down on the West Coast, we have this saying... How did it go again? Shit, era como 'Late afternoon on the West Coast ends with the sky doing all its brilliant stuff.' " Y/N said. She missed her home in the West Coast. She missed the beautiful beaches and sunny skies. Miguel just looked at her and smirked just a tiny bit. He had forgotten she was pulled from the West Coast. He pulled a chair behind him and sat down to face her. "The West Coast, huh? Escuché que es muy bonito ahí."

Y/N's eyes went wide at him saying that. "Nunca has ido al West Coast?!"

Miguel only shook his head.

The two sat and talked to each other for quite a while to the point where they ignored anyone who tried calling them form their little watch devices. It was strange. Having a full civil conversation with Miguel without him insulting her or getting mad at her was very peaceful to say the least.

The tall male couldn’t deny that he enjoyed his conversation with Y/N. He always admired how courageous she was on her earth. For the love of Aphrodite, her hero name is inspired by the goddess of war and wisdom herself, Athena!

After the two stopped talking, they just looked at each other. Y/N’s eyes gleaming, attracting Miguel.

“Don’t look at me like that.” He whispered.

"Like what?" she innocently said to him.

Miguel stood up from his chair and got closer to the girl. He grabbed her jaw and leaned in, analyzing her face. She was a pretty girl, no doubt. He saw how some of the spider-people would stutter when speaking to her or how they would find anything to compliment her, whether it was her pretty eyes, funny jokes, or elegant fighting skills. They would do anything to make her smile.

That's what pissed O'hara off the most. He always told himself that he was just angry at other bullshit that was from a mission, but the little voice in the back of his head would be telling him he was angry because he was seeing other people trying to get to Y/N. That little voice was always the loudest. Miguel got tired of just staring at her. Their faces were so close to each other. Both O'hara and L/N closed the gap between them and started kissing like crazy.

It was sloppy.

The kiss was sloppy. They didn't have time for all of that slow lovey dovey bullshit. They needed to taste each other. Y/N stood up from her seat to fully experience the messy kiss. Lips moving aggressively. Tongues being shoved down each other's throats. Hands were wandering on each other's bodies.

Miguel pulled away from the kiss and made Y/N sit on a counter so he could stand in the middle of her legs. He started leaving small pecks on her lips all the way down to her collarbone. He loved hearing her whimper. It turned him on even more.

He started stripping her out of her clothes. He needed to see her in all of her glory. Y/N got a little embarrassed at the fact she was fully naked and he was still in his spider-suit, so she rested both of her hands on her private area to cover up a little bit. But Miguel didn't take that reaction very lightly.

He forcefully took her hands away from in between her thighs and slightly bared his fangs. "Don't try to cover now, slut." Miguel snarled.

"It's not fair that im all naked and you're not..." she said in response.

Miguel smirked and stepped back. He started to take off the top half of his suit. His buff figure was insane to Y/N. It's like he was molded by the gods. Miguel went back to kissing her collarbone, but this time his hands started wandering down to her most sensitive area. His fingers immediately started rubbing up and down on her wet pussy, making Y/N whimper.

Miguel looked at Y/N's face and gave her a smug smile. He needed to see more. He immediately shoved two fingers inside her wet hole and started fingering her, loving the sound of her arousal and moans.

"Te miras muy bonita, moaning for me." he whispered in her ear.

Miguel made Y/N fall into tiny pieces whenever she's with or around him. She couldn't help it. His broad strong shoulders and muscular back made her melt like ice cream and his muscles made her face warm like the morning sun.

Y/N's erotic moans made Miguel solid hard. The more she moaned, the faster his fingers kept going. She kept getting louder and louder. She couldn't take it, she needed him inside her, pounding into her like a crazy man and Miguel knew she needed him. He just loved to tease her.

"Miguel, please. I need you."

"What do you need exactly, princesa.

"I need you to fuck me~ Use me however you want~ I'm all yours..." She moaned out.

Miguel pulled his fingers out and stuck them in Y/N's mouth, making her taste her own arousal. He groaned at the sight of her sucking on his fingers, looking at him with those precious eyes that were begging him to fuck her.

He pulled away from her mouth and started taking off the bottom half of the spider suit, leaving him in his underwear. Letting his pretty girl in front of him drool at the sight of his bulge. He pulled out his hard cock and started stroking it a little bit in front of her, teasing her a bit.

"Get off the fucking table and turn around." He demanded, to which Y/N willingly complied to.

He forcefully grabbed the back of her neck and made her bend over, making her whimper at his strength. He lined the tip of his dick on her pussy and slightly pushed in. He knew what he was doing. Don't get him wrong, he wanted the same she wanted. He wanted nothing more to just pound into her until she forgot her own name, but he loved to see her all worked up.

Y/N started backing up a tiny bit so she could feel more of him inside her, but Miguel didn't like that. He slapped her ass cheek to make her stop, making Y/N moan at the impact. "You can't wait to get fuck, huh chiquita? You want me to fuck you? Yeah?" he teased.

Y/N whimpered and kept telling him yes. "Please fuck me, I need you inside m-" she was cut off by her own pornographic moan since Miguel shoved himself inside with no warning. He groaned at the feeling of her walls hugging his dick so tightly.

He started pounding into her, making her moan loudly. He suddenly remembered that people in the building thought he was absent from the building, and if they hear Y/N's sweet moans from inside his working headroom, they will know something is up and barge in. Miguel leaned forward and grabbed Y/N's throat and pulled her upper body towards his chest.

"Shut the fuck up. I don't need anyone barging in on me fucking you. Unless you want that to happen since you're moaning so fucking loud like a whore." he groaned in her ear. Y/N could only moan in response. The pleasure she was feeling in her body was too good.

"No? You don't want to listen?" Miguel started pounding into her even harder, making her scream in pleasure. The pleasure was starting to become too much for Y/N to the point where she started feeling tears build up in her eyes. Her vision started to become blurred so she closed her eyes and felt the tears fall from her eyes.

"You're such a good girl, baby. Taking me so well like a fucking slut." He praised. He started to leave little kisses on her cheek and had his unoccupied hand travel down to rub her puffy clit. He looked down to watch his cock disappear and reappear with every thrust he made and with every thrust he made, he realized Y/N was creaming more and more. To the point that it started reaching his fingers that were rubbing her clit.

The sight of Y/N creaming made O'hara's thrusts more aggressive. His groans started to become louder and louder. Everything was going smoothly and full of pleasure until Y/N's little watch started ringing, indicating someone was calling her. Miguel's thrusting didn't slow down though, he didn't care.

"Answer it." he demanded.

Y/N's eyes widened, "B-But-"

"But nothing, answer it or I'll stop fucking you."

Y/N's shaky hand pressed the button to answer the call and answered it like how anyone would answer a regular phone call. "Y/N, it's me." A voice called out.

Ben.

Ben fucking Reilly.

The Spiderman that would take his flirting with Y/N a little too far for Miguel. "H-hey Ben! Is there a r- oh fuck - reason why you're calling?" Y/N tried answering without sounding suspicious.

Ben let out a dramatic sigh, "Yes, there is actually." He dramatically said. Ben was a very dramatic Spiderman. Some spider-people would call him a wannabe anime character from how much he exaggerates things.

"Well what is-" "I just wanted to-" they both spoke at the same time. Ben let out another dramatic sigh, "Y/N, please. Don't interrupt."

Y/N brought her hand up to her mouth to try and hide the moans she wanted to let out so badly. "Y/N, I wanted to call you and ask you out on a very amazing date. I think you are the woman of my dreams and I need a strong woman like you by my side." Ben dramatcially said.

That was the final straw for Miguel.

Miguel gripped both of his hands on Y/N plump ass and started pounding into her even harder, making Y/N's tears come down even more. Y/N's grip on her mouth tightened even more, in fear of letting out a moan and ruining everything.

"Is that a yes or a no, princesa," Miguel whispered as he smirked. He forcefully took her hand off her mouth for her to answer. Y/N didn't want Ben to know Miguel was drilling into her. That would be so embarrassing.

"I-I'm sorry, Ben! I can't t-talk right now" she tried her best to say. Ben let out another dramatic sigh, "But why, Y/N?"

"Because she's busy," Miguel said out loud. He pressed the hang-up button and continued his vicious pounding. Y/N began to feel a strange but pleasurable feeling in her abdomen and so did Miguel.

"Fuck, Miguel~ I'm gonna cum~"

"Yeah? You wanna cum, baby?~" Miguel teased. Y/N moaned in response and didn't have time for his teasing. She let out her final erotic moan and came. She came all over his cock. Miguel came shortly after and filled Y/N up with his load.

Miguel groaned and let his upper body softly lay on Y/N's back, giving it little kisses. They stayed like that until their gasps started to slow down. Miguel pulled out and watched as his cum started coming out of her pussy. Running down her thigh and some even dropping to the floor. He smiled at his accomplishment.

"Okay, are you two done now!? I have some very important data I need to run and I've been waiting patiently!" a voice said, making Miguel and Y/N snap their necks to the right to see the iconic female hologram.

"Lyla, you scared the shit out of us, a-and why are you turned around?" Miguel asked confusingly.

"Because I don't want to see both of you naked! Hurry up and get dressed I need your monitor to run some data!"

No Time To Die

1: i warned myself

1942

I knew there was a war going on. I knew I couldn't be there, I can't solve human's problems. I shouldn't. An Eternal is not on Earth for that.

But I can't watch the planet I love getting destroyed. I can't watch people killing each other. Not again. Every human conflict reminds ms the last time I saw my family, how we argued, how we walked away from each other. I remember the feeling of loneliness, watching how we decided to be by our own, all the hopes of going back to Olympia started to shatter, looking how the black dressed man walked downstairs, how the blue dressed man flew away. I knew that we were going to stay here, living on our own.

So when I walked there, watching by far how men shoot each other, I started to feel mad. All the innovations my brother made, all the gifts he made were being used against each other to kill, to destroy. I wanted to step on the middle of them, stop them. I wanted Druig to come back, to control their minds and make them stop, even if it was against our own nature. 

I know I can stop them with my own hands. I'm powerful. I can create a hurricane with a simple sigh, or make a volcano explode with the soft movement of my hand. I could stop the war. But not with my powers.

The only option was to watch from the inside, but because I noticed a powerful thing calling me, a power that is not from the planet, more from the outside. An Infinity Stone. I tried to talk with Ajak. I tried to get help.

"No Korra, you know you can't be there. You have to let the humans do their thing, that's how they evolve" she said, placing a hand on my shoulder and giving me a maternal hug. 

"But... I saw Phastos' technology. And I felt something like a non-human power. I swear!" I sighed, looking at my hands and then at the ground, grass moved a little thanks to my powers. 

"We can't interrupt-". 

"I won't" I interrupted her. "I'm only going to watch. I promise you I won't do anything".

So i went there, meeting the people that fought by America's side, standing alongside Peggy, my new friend. I never used a weapon or my powers to attack, making sure that everyone knew me because of my sense of planning and strategy, thanks to all the years of learning after fighting next to the goddess of the war, Thena. 

But when I met Steve Rogers and saw his transformation, I feared the worst.

Did Phastos make this? He can't, right? Ajax would punish him, or Arishem. He can't. He can't be part of this, what if someone discovered his powers? What if the enemy is using his powers?

My mission changed. I understood that Steve Roger, the now named Captain America, was the only one that could finish that war.

I tried everything to be on the squad of the people who went to fight the enemy, showing them my strength and the reason why I was worthy to be with them. Of course I had to cheat sometimes, using my powers to fight against the soldiers who tried to kill me, melting their weapons or throwing them away with a push of air. I had to stay by their side just to see with my own eyes what Phastos made. 

It was a little easy to be friends with the team, luckily. And none of them saw me using my powers, how my hands had a golden glow when I used them, even if they were covered with gloves. It was self defense, so I wasn't using them for the good of humanity. No one noticed me. Right?

5 weeks before the assault

The camp was cold. Normally, in this place and many years ago, the sun would be shining, making my skin get softly tanned. I can remember those days where Sersi and I worked with the people, helping them work the land, giving them the material they need and gifting them with protection.

They gave me the name of the Elemental Goddess: the one that brings water, fire and life, that creates mountains and rivers. Korra, the portrayer of the aether, the fifth element.

I miss those times, where we were Gods and our people adored us.

But now, instead of sleeping in a palace built for us, in beautiful rooms decorated with gold and all the gifts the people gave us, I was sleeping in a tent under the rain. I could stop it, but if I do, people will suspect if it never rained wherever I was. And I can't risk it, I can't let them discover me, who I am, why I'm here with them.

It's cold, but the best part about being a woman and having Peggy Carter with me, is that I can have a roof –even if it's the roof of a tent– where I can be safe from the freezing water while sleeping.

But I could hear him, how he coughed, how he sneezed. His groans and deep breaths kept me awake as well as the complainings of the others.

I should make the rain stop, it's too much at this point. I looked around making sure that Peggy was asleep and that my hands were under the sleeping bag, not wanting the golden light to wake up anyone. I breathed deeply and closed my eyes, feeling the warmth of the golden likes on my wrists, and closed my hands slowly hearing how the rain stopped hitting the material of the tent. The cold was still there and it's nothing I can fix, but at least the water stopped and tomorrow the ground won't be full of big puddles.

"Thank God" I heard him groan and sigh with relief. He was doing the night shift?

Sometimes I don't understand how they could stay awake all night. With my fellow family we never did that, it was Ikaris the one that made that job. After all, he was one of the strongest and could fly everywhere, if something happened he could be there easier and quicker. We had our jobs and we never did the things others could do.

But those humans... These humans risk their own health, mentally and physically, to keep us safe. In moments like this I understand why Sersi is in love with those people.

I felt the sun rising, making me sit straight and stretch my sore body, looking at my side and sighing when I saw the clothes. I miss my purple and golden suit, I wish I could wear it. But, as all my family, we keep something of our color as our identity. I always wear purple dresses or skirts, and when I have a uniform I keep a necklace of a beautiful oval amethyst with gold gifted by Tutankamun after helping him during his reign.

I sigh, shaking my head, erasing all those old memories from my mind and focusing on the present, and get up getting dressed with the uniform, that green skirt with a white shirt as Peggy. I touched my hair a little making sure it wasn't too obvious that I just got up from bed and tried to make two braids tying them at the back of my head.

After splashing cold water on my face and painting my lips with dark red lipstick while looking at a pocket mirror, I got ready to get out of the tent. For my surprise, James Barnes was there, standing in front of the camp we made last afternoon with his suit wet.

"Morning, Sergeant Barnes" I smiled walking towards him, biting my lip when I saw him opening his eyes and looking at me.

"Agent Ether" he nodded with a sleepy smile, blushing after he stood straight.

"You were doing guard all night?" I frowned looking at him. His hair was still a little wet and his clothes were soaked.

"Half of it, Rogers did the first shift" he nodded and I looked at him.

The first time I was with him was on that exposition Stark made, the one about futuristic things and flying cars –nothing Phastos could make, but I was actually impressed by how he made that car since my fellow Eternal never thought about a car that could fly–. I was already an official agent with Peggy and we had a break from the training that let us go visit our "families". But instead of visiting my non-existent family, I went to investigate any hint of my brother's presence in this war.

We were in the same unit while he was training. I was a supervisor and he was just a soldier that showed his skills quickly, making him be Sargeant fast.

It was true when they say he's a flirty man, even an immortal being like me fell for his charm. But that happened only once.

After that, I never saw him again.

I remember how I felt when they told me he and his unit were captured. How confused I felt, new feelings coming to me. Confusion, anger, sadness. Maybe that nigh was the last time I saw him. And even after that I couldn't stop thinking about him.

But then Steve saved him from the factory where was captured and they were trying to make experiments on him. He brought him back to the main military camp, as well as the other soldiers that were captured, just after Colonel Phillips argued with Peggy and I about letting Steve free around Europe making his own missions.

"I'll try to make a coffee, you want some?" I asked him, gesturing him go to the tent where we keep the food supplies.

"Yeah, thank you" he smiled, brushing his wet hair with his fingers.

I smile and nod, walking to the tent and grabbing two metal cups, the coffee and putting it on them. I looked to my side and grabbed them while golden lines showed up on my hands and the hot water started to grow inside the cups, turning on a black aromatic color. The coffee is ready.

I walked back to him with both cups on my hand after checking that the golden lines and light of my hands were gone, smiling softly to him and handing him the cup I was holding with my left hand. I saw him taking a small sip to it and waited patiently for his reaction.

"How the hell can you make coffee so good?" he gasped, swallowing the black hot drink.

Because I was there when they created this beverage, my soldier.

"My dad has been a coffee lover since I can remember" I lied.

"Then he taught you well" he smiled, groaning softly after swallowing another sip of it.

I smile looking at him while leaning my back on the truck that was next to him. I have to say it: he's handsome. Maybe if he let his beard grow a little he would be more handsome. Yeah, definitely more than Ikaris, maybe just a little more.

"Are you ready to go back home?" he said, sighing, looking to a concrete point and not looking away from it.

Home. I don't have a home. I mean, yes, I have an apartment in Manhattan. But home... I wonder where is the Domo.

"Yeah, kinda" I sighed.

The next minutes were full of an awkward silence, drinking our coffees and hearing people yawning and groaning while they woke up. Colonel Phillips was the first one to get out of his tent, walking around and making sure everything was ready to go to the nearest harbor. Even if it was a long way home, we have to do it. Many of these people didn't see their families for a long time.

"Well, at least now I can forget about this place" he groaned. "Yesterday was really awful".

Colonel Phillips thought all of them were dead, and just minutes after screaming at Peggy that reminded us that all the men were defeated, they just came walking behind Steve. Their faces showed how restless they were, scared and defeated, but not dead. All of them and Steve Rogers were alive and going back home.

"You deserve the rest" I said, nodding. "You served your country well".

He looked at me with a smile, as if what I said touched his heart, making it warm. I just said what maybe a lot of people thought right now. He served his country and now he is returning to his family.

"Well, they are going to give Steve the honor medal" he chuckled, looking at how Steve walked out of his tent stretching his now muscular body, trying to style his hair with his fingers.

I laughed at that. That medal is nothing, just a reminder that he did something heroic, nothing more. But I know Steve, knowing him for the last few weeks, and that thing means nothing to him.

"You have someone waiting for you back in New York?" he asked me suddenly. Is his flirty self back? On one hand, that's good, since he was kidnapped nearly two weeks ago. "I-I mean, family and... Yeah".

"No" I laughed looking at him. "No, I don't have someone waiting for me. My sister is working in London. But I moved to New York to work with Agent Carter".

I mean, Sersi is the one I consider my best friend and sister since we worked a lot together helping people. Makkari and Sprite are like my little sisters, while Thena was like the cool aunt that taught us how to fight and helped us during battles and Ajax was the mother of the group that took care of everyone and listened to us.

"I didn't know you had a sister" he said, impressed. 

"I have three, actually. But I'm closer to the one that lives in London..."

"So your family is all around the globe?" be chuckled.

If you knew... All my family is around the globe because of a stupid discussion.

"Yeah, you can say it like that" I smile weakly.

At this point of the morning everyone was already awake, taking all their things to go back to their home. Peggy and Steve were talking, and the smile he had was warm while his eyes danced between her lips and her eyes. That's cute. It reminds me the way Ikaris looked at Serisi, o how Gilgamesh took care of Thena or how Druig talked with Makkari with only their eyes.

Will I ever find someone that looks at me the same way?

"Well, we better get ready" Bucky said, grabbing the empty cup in my hand, his fingers touching mine making me flinch softly. "We have a long journey so we can sleep on some comfortable beds".

I laughed at that comment, shaking my head and walking away, not noticing the way James was looking at me.

"Captain" I nod walking behind Steve and smiling when I saw him blush after I caught him standing close to Peggy.

I wish I could find someone like they did. I wish he looked at me like that again, how he did that night.

[sillygoofsterhihi]

I watched eternals, here are my thoughts

SPOILERS

Overall... it was okay, nice movie, would give 4/10. I have more thoughts and opinion about characters, so I would go about each of them. Not proof read.

Sersi

Main character with no personality. That's all I can say about her.

Ikaris

Bucky bait. Looks and acts like Bucky. Has his own "I'll follow you to the end" line. He's just a Bucky bait. His betrayal was a bit suprising but not that much. And then his suicide was kind of from nowhere . I feel like he also doesn't have personality. I don't like him. He has no emotions. He's just blank.

Thena

Precious baby. I like her. Her plot was okay but I feel like she also was a bait. I really like her name. The idea about calling her similiar to greek goddess? Love this. Great. She did okay. It wasn't painful to watch.

Ajak

Cult leader. Either Eternals where a cult or she started another one at some point in her life. I think she's supposed to be this "smart leader who knows evertything and is mysterious" but the cult leader vibes are stronger than her lovely aunt vibes and that lowkey kills her character.

Kingo

He gives me Shane Dawson vibes. Didn't like him from start but this started to change between middle and end of movie but I still don't like him. Sorry. He has kind of good plot about wanting to be like Ikaris but that imo wasn't explored enough. Him and that dude followed him had some good jokes and had some good jokes. So they're okay i suppose.

Sprite

Bruh. I liked her. Loved her from the start. Reminded me about kid Loki. Then the stupid as fuck plot "I love Ikaris" came up and I was done. Plot about wanting to grow up - good, great even, plot about Ikaris - why? She's 14, dude, she could go without it, no difference, she still could betray if you wanted. imo betrayal was at least a bit stupid and made no sense except "I love Ikaris". Loved her at start, then hated her, then liked her bit more. For my mental health I will ignore her plot about Ikaris.

Phastos

Best boi. Loved him from the start. As soon as I saw him. His name - same as Thena - love name and idea behind. And then he had a husband and a kid. Loved him more. He's so sweet. My fav character in whole movie. He's cool dad. Could have more screen time with family but that's okay. Love nonetheless.

Makkari

Didn't get much screen time. She was okay. Liked her relationship with Druig. Imo her character wasn't explored enough. Could been better if that would happen. Still okay character. I love that they casted deaf actor for deaf character.

Druig

We already had Bucky bait. He's Loki bait. Edgy teenager. I'm 85% sure he's bait for fangirls. So many similarities with Loki and this black haired dude from Star Wars. I was annoyed when he talked but had cute relationship with Makkari. Has punchable face. Fucking tumblr bait.

Gilgamesh

I liked him. He was so sweet with Thena. Then poof he died. And then they forgot about him. Like I don't think they told Phastos or Makkari about it. About Ajak - they told everyone, even not on screen, her death was important, they cried. And after Gilgamesh's death they said idk two things about him. I liked him. Why didn't he get some screen time? Why?

Overall characters are either not explored enough, annoying baits or have some stupid plot. Three characters i loved from this movie - one had stupid plot, second died. Like bruh. Bit dissapointed. CGI was good, liked stone hand at end. Main plot about Titanica however was this big boi inside earth called was okay. Plot about memories - also okay. Like I said 4/10. Could been better. At least they didn't ruin my boi Phastos.

Edit:

I was right about Druig. Eternals tag is filled with fanfics, he has so much fics already I hate this edgy teenager fucking tumblr fangirl bait but please don't @ me.

#eternals #mcu #phastos #gilghmesh #sprite #thena #makkari #ikaris #kingo #sersi #ajak #druig #second tag to druig is about fanfiction #i was right #i mean i would read fics about him if he wasn't so punchable and annoying mf #why tf druig x ikaris exist #druig is edgy teenager #phastos best boi #phastos eternals #i love phastos so much #why didn't he had more screen time #there was only two good romance plots #drukkari #and phastos and his family #phastos is so cute with his family #no idea what's their names but i love them so much #bruh i should study for chemistry #eternals movie #eternals mcu #marvel eternals

Marvel Thor Phase 1 Pros and Cons

Pros

1. I’m big fan of Mythology so I was interested to see how the MCU will handled Thor trilogy that the character is based in real life Norse Legends, I have to say that my opinion is mixed because MCU universe takes place on Earth-19999 so Thor and rest Asgardians race are vastly different from their Earth-616 counterpart, don’t get me wrong i still like the MCU version of the Thor Trilogy and we got from it in terms character development and story arc.

2. Chris Hemsworth as Thor Odinson The God of Thunder, Chris is truly perfect casting as Thor he really embodies the character in terms of he’s acting abilities and physical appearance, now MCU Thor is mostly the same as comic book counterpart still different, but what I mostly like about MCU Thor is the incredible character arc that Thor goes through from his own trilogy to the Avengers saga, going from a hot headed tempered god to a more humble, wiser and compassionate individual who has suffered and Learn so much about himself and the path moving forward.

3. Tom Hiddleston as Loki Laufeyson also known as Loki Odinson The God of Lies and Mischief, what can i say about Loki only that he is the MCU top tier villain only behind Thanos and Erik Kill-monger. I know originally Tom audition for the role of Thor even going as for as wearing blonde hair and wielding a toy hammer, I’m so glad that he didn’t get the role because he’s perfect casting as Loki i can’t see anybody else play him not in the way as Tom does. Loki is more of a misunderstood character who’s just wanted to be accepted and loved by his father because in his mind he thinks Odin loves Thor more than him. I mean Loki was orchestrated a whole plot to banished Thor from Asgard and using the Bifrost Bridge to destroy the realm of the frost giants, all of this was only get his approval as a worthy son.

4. Anthony Hopkins as Odin Borson The AllFather and King of Asgard, Odin the AllFather was truly the most powerful being in the MCU and one of the few Individuals that Thanos waited to die, Odin dedicated his reign on protecting his people and maintaining peace throughout the nine realms by any means necessary by accomplishing so many extraordinary feats such as defeating the fire demon Surtur and stealing his power, stopping his firstborn daughter Hela and sealing her away in Hel and using his own life force as a barrier, defeating King Laufey and his Frost Giants army from conquering earth, even taking a power away from a another God like his own son Thor.

5. Overall the most positive thing about the MCU universe version of the Thor trilogy is the story arc and the character journey that Thor and Loki goes through while moving forward as character as the MCU going to a new era.

Cons

1. Now their are some positive creative choices with the Thor trilogy but theirs also the negative choices that they did with the Thor Films, the first being I don’t like that they made the Asgardians Extraterrestrials aliens in the Earth-616 the main Marvel Universe the Asgardians are a group of Extra-dimensional beings. In the comics their was always a balance between Extra-dimensional beings and Extraterrestrial beings, in the MCU their seems to be more aliens and less beings from a another dimension.

2. Also I don’t like how the Asgardians being technologically advanced because in the original comics the Asgardians relied more on Magic then Technology, we rally see any Asgardians using magic i mean we have Loki but to be far we only seen Loki used illusions casting, Duplication casting, conjuring that’s basically it but all that’s fine but its nothing compared to the original comic book.

3. Lady Sif in my opinion is the weakest Asgardians in the movie, Sif is nothing like her ComicBook counterpart I mean the MCU have the audacity to call Sif the Norse Goddess of War really she barely had any fight scene to show us why she holds this title, The Eternals Thena holds the title Goddess of War better then lady Sif.

4. Plus MCU is missing other Asgardians character from the comics like Tyr the real Norse God of War, Balder also son of Odin and Frigg, Honir Norse of The Hunt and Hermod the Norse God of Speed miss opportunity that the MCU missed out on.

5. Also why was Jane Foster in this movie, i know that Jane is the main love interests for Thor in the original comics but she and her team really serve no purpose in this movie and it’s really disrespectful to the Incredible Natalie Portman.

[softquietsteadylove]

For the special force AU:

how about Thena putting together her Team and meeting Gil the first time? Like a little flashback?

They called her the Goddess of War.

Well, her name really was Thena. It wasn't an amazingly creative nickname. But it certainly was true, given she was known for being particularly vicious, whether it was in the field or the office. But what she lacked in social skill she made up for in sheer ability.

Gil had to admit he was surprised. He had heard about the Goddess of War, and everyone knew she was a top agent--they had to know that if they were applying to be part of her special ops team. But he hadn't heard anyone mention that she was literally the most beautiful woman on the face of the earth.

He thought that would have been mentioned at some point.

Kingo fidgeted beside him in line, "dude, she's so-"

"I don't want to hear anything about being badass."

Gil did his best to contain his laughter as Kingo's spine snapped straight so quickly he could swear he heard it.

Their new boss and team leader looked up at them finally. She had striking features, razor sharp bone structure under startlingly pale skin. Almost as pale as her whiter-than-platinum blonde hair. She leaned against the bullpen desk, "I'm no more or less badass than any of you. That is why I selected you, no?"

"Yes, sir!"

"Each of you excels in something far and beyond anyone else in the agency," she narrated, eyes scanning over them. Gil met her eyes for just a second as she passed over him. Her eyes were green. "That's why I chose you."

"Yes, sir!"

"But I can un-choose you," she tipped her chin up, and Gil was pretty sure it was almost the beginning of a smile. No one else seemed to think so, though, already quaking with nerves. "The next month we'll see if you have what it takes to be directed by me in the field. And ultimately, if I don't think you're a right fit for the team, then back to rank work you go. Am I clear?"

"Yes, sir!"

"You two," she eyed him and Kingo, "stay. The rest of you, back to work. You report here in the mornings now. It's oh-nine-hundred and not a second later."

"Yes, sir!"

"Dismissed," she looked down at the desk again, not even watching the rest of the candidates file out of the room.

Gil snuck his eyes towards the door as a few started whispering to themselves before they were even out of the room, like school children. Rookie mistake; she didn't say anything, but the boss lady made two sharp flicks of her pen on the files she had in front of her. They were already out of the running for placement on the team.

She drew herself up again, arms spread out and shoulders sharply angled, giving her a certain amount of presence. It was easy to forget that she was actually pretty normal statured as far as women went. If anything, she was a little skinny for being such a skilled fighter.

"You," she pointed at Kingo with her pen. "Sharp shot."

Kingo had both the best aim and the best actual shot record in the agency. "Yes, Boss?"

Gil nearly flinched, wondering what the sharp edged woman would have to say to the casual way of addressing her. They were a little higher ranked than some of the other agents she was considering, but certainly they weren't exempt from addressing her properly.

She raised a brow at him.

Kingo cleared his throat, "Boss...lady?...ma'am?"

"Hm," she let out singularly, but Kingo didn't get the little pen mark of doom. "You're...chatty, so I hear."

"Is that really in my file?" he couldn't resist muttering to himself.

"Yes." It obviously wasn't. "And I would like to use that to my advantage."

Gil watched the exchange cautiously. She was testing them both, that much was clear. He just wasn't sure how she was assessing them--and for what.

"How so?"

"I want...gossip."

"You?"

"I want things that aren't in any file," she clarified, keeping her eyes on Kingo. "It doesn't have to be anything sordid, but I do hope that if there's anything about any of your fellow candidates you feel I should know..."

Kingo stared right back at her. It could be a test of his loyalty, to see how easily he was turned on his own with so much as an order. But then again, it could be a test of how well he took orders. It could just be a test of if he lied on his file, for all they knew.

"Well?" she drawled.

Kingo straightened his shoulders. "Nothing worth reporting, I'd say. A friendly rivalry or two, but nothing that would distract them in the field. One is sorting out the tail end of a divorce, but he's a good father, so he hasn't let it affect his work. One of them does smoke, but I've never seen her ask for a smoke break, and she obviously still passed the fitness test."

Everything as promised; nothing worth reporting. It was both things that Thena would want to know as a leader but also the immediate promise that they wouldn't impact the team's work. They were nonstarters, as Kingo was telling her. He had both protected his fellow agents' personal affairs and reported honestly to his superior.

Again, Gil saw just this faint twitch at the corner of her - amazing - lips. He could swear it was a smile (of sorts).

"Very good," she nodded, taking the information for what it was. "Dismissed."

"Yes, sir," Kingo turned on his heel, catching Gil's eye ever so briefly before leaving as asked.

Gil was on his own.

"Gilgamesh," she murmured, looking over his file right in front of him. She nudged the papers lazily with the end of her pen. "But you go by Gil."

He shrugged.

"You can lift almost double what your fellow agents report," she looked up at him, one of her heels coming off the ground faintly. "And you did exceedingly well in your combat training and tests."

He shuffled a little in his stance, unsure if she wanted boastful confidence or sheepish modesty. "If that's what it says there."

She tilted her head, flipping his file closed. "Why do you think I selected you for this team?"

She had just listed one of his biggest assets as an agent, so why ask him? He had been asked to join countless special divisions since becoming an agent, thanks to his size and his strength. Everyone from homeland security to infiltration wanted him.

Gil looked at her--really looked. Her eyes were actually quite expressive, despite the facade she put on. There was no hiding what was in them and that beautiful colour. And he was pretty sure he knew what she was really asking. "My great sense of humour?"

There!--a real smile!

He brightened (he was never any good at hiding what he was feeling). "Is that a laugh?"

"No."

"Almost," he murmured, which he was pretty sure would have gotten him kicked out if anyone else were present for it. But they weren't, and he wasn't. He lifted his eyes to hers again. "I'll get you next time."

Her ice cold glare melted a little and he was pretty sure she did actually think he was at least a tiny bit funny. Maybe amusing, at least. "No one will believe you."

"I'll just have to try harder," he grinned to himself, setting his shoulders again. She resumed the cold, polished mask required of a team leader. But he could still see the very human warmth in her eyes. "Is it because of the cat thing?"

Her eyes sparked, even if her face was as still as a statue.

How had no one ever noticed this before? She was way easier to read than people thought. Or maybe she was deliberately letting him read her just to test him. Oh well.

"That stray cat that got caught in the tree outside of the main office?" Gil repeated, standing by his statement. "I spent all morning trying to get it down. I didn't call in my lateness and got suspended for a week without pay just because of some stray?"

"And you were asked why."

So, that was the reason. He smiled, "poor thing was scared. I couldn't just leave it there."

Another real, almost gentle seeming smile crossed Thena's face. She tilted her head at him, "that was the statement you gave. It's not attached to your suspension notice but I asked around for it."

Kingo must have told some higher up he knew would be close enough for her to hear it.

"That is the reason I chose you," she said without the forced sharpness of her tone. It was actually a lot softer, even higher than she could make it seem. "Because you cared so much for a strange animal that you couldn't abandon it. Nor did you contest your suspension--which you could have."

"Yeah, but I had a new cat to take care of."

She caught it right away, but it had happened, clear as day: she laughed.

Gil felt something rattle in his chest as she pinched her lips together and pretended to look down at her papers again. His life belonged to her, now--no questions asked.

She looked up at him, offering a sleekly shaped eyebrow with the remains of her smile, "congratulations."

"I don't know what you're talking about," he shrugged, and he didn't really consider making someone laugh something to gloat about anyway. "No one will believe me, sir."

She nodded, her smile remaining. "You and Kingo will be my leads. You'll report here at 0800 and I will tell you how the rest of this week will go."

"Yes, sir, Boss," Gil offered a smile--just a small, sheepish one.

"Don't test your luck," she advised him, back to keeping her smile very much in check.

It seemed she really couldn't control that one little corner from twitching upward, though.

"Yes, ma'am," Gil nodded and took his leave. Maybe joining the special forces would turn out to be not so bad.
