Marvel: Breezing Through History as an Eternal

[Greenwich, New York]

Pluto is now standing in front of a rather peculiar building that has a strange window on top of its roof. The air was beginning to become colder as December approached, so he wore a simple coat to ‘blend in’, after all, his family is quite famous right now.

He climbed the steps towards the double door of the peculiar building, and he pushed it as if it was his building. As soon as he entered the room, the temperature changed quite drastically and it became quite warm. Inside, he found two individuals, one was a woman wearing a strange robe typical of a student of the mystic arts, and another, a boy, drinking tea while watching the TV in front of them.

Pluto raised his eyebrow at the sight. He took off his coat and hung it at the coat hanger beside the door.

“Since when did the Sanctum Sanctorum have TVs?” He said his thoughts out loud.

The two individuals turned towards him, it was his family of course, Thena and Theo.

“Just now.” said Thena casually. “I asked for it.”

Pluto walked towards them and kissed Thena on the cheek, before sitting beside her.

“Why are you wearing that?” Pluto asked again, pointing at the strange fashion of Thena.

“Well my clothes are all bloodied and you ask us to come here as soon as possible.” Thena shrugged. “I simply asked your friend to give me some clothing.”

“Right…” Pluto hummed, before turning to Helios. “You okay there bud?”

“Dad, what are we doing here?” Helios sighed. “Look at the TV, we’re all over the news! How do you plan to fix this?!”

“Eh it’s quite easy, I just need to borrow Boudica’s basement real quick.”

“Boudica?” Helios looked at his father weirdly. “You mean the weird bald lady?”

“That is quite rude of you, young Eternal.” a voice behind Helios suddenly said, making the boy jump from his seat.

“Ah, there you are.” said Pluto as he stood up from his seat. “You’ve heard my words right? It’ll not take time at all.”

The voice, who is The Ancient One, looked at Helios in amusement before turning to Pluto, her face turning serious. “Mr. Smith I must remind you, the Runes of Kof-Kol is a risky spell. It travels the border between known and unknown reality. It is simply too–”

“Who says anything about using the runes of Kof-Kol?” said Pluto, his eyebrow raised as TAO became confused. Pluto then turned towards his son, before walking towards the basement. “Come boy, I must ask your opinion on a couple of matters.”

Helios looked at Pluto walking away from the group, and then to TAO. She didn’t follow him, so Helios could only sighed and followed his father.

“You want me to change the memories of everyone on earth?” A construct appeared as Pluto arrived in the basement. It was Hypnos, glowing orange as he stood in the middle of the room, right beside a runed stone.

“Well yes.” Pluto said casually. “But you already know that.”

Hypnos sighed at Pluto’s words “Alright fine. But I must remind you that someone knows your identity outside of earth.”

“Who? Oh, her? Don’t worry about it.” Pluto shrugged. “She doesn’t know me per se, she just knows I exist.”

“Very well,” said Hypnos simply. The construct quickly floated in the air, orange mist quickly filled the room, and neuron-like images started to appear in the air.

Not a minute later, Helios came down to the basement, confused at the sight.

“What’s all this?” he asked, trying to get rid of the mist in the air.

“Well, we’re trying to change the memory of everyone on earth,” said Pluto. “And I mean, everyone.”

“Wait, what do you mean?” Helios frowned as he walked to his father, standing opposite of him.

“After this, no one will know what exactly we are,” said Pluto. “Well, except our family of course.”

“But then—” Helios quickly turned to Hypnos. “How does it work exactly? The news is all over.”

“Well after the process is over, the people only will know that those people in the news are from some mysterious organisation.” Pluto shrugged. “You’ve simply been saved by them.”

“What about the ones that know before this?” Helios asked again absentmindedly.

“Like Gweny?” Pluto smirked, making his son annoyed. “She’ll forget everything too.”

“What if I don’t want to?” Helios said rather quickly.

“Well I call you here because of that.” Pluto shrugged. “Just simply say to Hypnos. He’ll make an exception.”

Helios just nodded meekly and walked towards the hovering construct. Hypnos looked frozen, as if he was concentrating.

“Hey,” said Helios awkwardly. “Could you not change the memory of Gwendolyn Stacy and…”

But Helios noticed that the construct doesn’t give any reaction or not. “Oi, are you listening or not.”

“Just speak, young Eternal.” Hypnos simply answered, making Helios nod.

“Don’t change the memory of Gwendolyn Stacy and… I suppose… Peter too?”

“Are you doubting yourself?” Hypnos frowned at his words. “This is not a joking matter, Helios. You must be decisive.”

“Right… fine fine… Peter Parker too.”

Hypnos then turned towards Pluto, who nodded, giving him permission.

“Then it shall be done.” Hypnos quickly turned to dust, and the orange mist passed through the walls, towards the streets, towards the skies, and it spreads throughout the earth.

As people saw the orange mist, they were confused at the sight. But once they were touched by it, their stares turned black for a moment, before continuing their daily matters, not remembering everything at all.

The mist spreads quickly, enveloping New York, the US, and the world. Even datas concerning the Eternals are erased, and that night, no one remembered the Eternals. They may discover them again, but for now, aside from a few people, the Eternals ceased to exist in their minds, what’s been uncovered became a mystery again, and what is still a mystery, became a myth for all mankind to study.
