_______________

"Thank you for accepting the call." Bruce Banner smiles as Sersi shakes his hand. The other Eternals carefully climb out of the car as they admire the newly renovated Avengers compound. Sersi nods with a smile before releasing his hand.

"Of course, it's the least we could do." Sersi responds. "We're centuries late but we've always wanted to help. This time we're full hands on with helping out to protect this world."

Bruce smiles at her reply. "That's good to know."

Druig lets his eyes wander, taking in parts of the compound that are still evident from the battle. "This where it happened?"

Bruce glances at him before looking out at the field. "Yeah. Still remember every part of it."

Sersi sighs as she looks back at Bruce, gently placing a hand on his arm. The Avenger looks back at her as she smiles sadly at him. "We apologize for not helping out. I'm sure you needed more help but we were to blinded by our beliefs instead of helping."

Thena, Kingo and Phastos nod in agreement. Bruce shakes his head. "It's alright. Don't blame yourselves. You would've jumped at the chance but y'know you needed to be loyal to your purpose. We won and that's what matters."

"You knew about our purpose here on Earth?" Makkari signs while Kingo translates for Bruce.

"Uh, well, Strange filled me in generally on who you are but Y/N was the person who really told us the information." Bruce says as he adjusts the sling on his shoulder.

"Who? I'm sure we've never told anyone named Y/N before." Sprite crosses her arms across her chest. Her physical appearance now slightly grown compared to before. She turns around to look at her fellow Eternals who all shrug in confusion.

"I'm not really secretive about where I'm from but I know all the people I told." Kingo squints his eyes. "Who are they?"

Bruce tilts his head in confusion. "I assumed you'd know cause—"

BANG.

A loud noise catches their attention. The group look at each other with caution before running towards where the sound came from. Thena summons her weapon while Kingo prepares the cosmic energy flowing through his finger tips. Sersi looks at Makkari before nodding as she allows her to take a peek of the area. The speedster zooms with gold flares leaving her trail. She comes back seconds later, hands signing the information she gained.

"3 people. One armed."

Thena nods before stepping forward to dive in the action. Bruce stops her with a raise of the hand. "W-Wait. What did you see?"

"There's 3 people and one of them is armed. I can handle it." Thena translates for Makkari before Phastos holds her back with a gentle grip on her wrist and a shake of his head.

"Who specifically? I'm pretty sure authorized personnel are the only ones allowed to come in the compound. If it were an enemy it could've alerted the other Avengers in the building." Bruce explains as he glances at the battle ready warriors in front of him. Makkari signs again to which Sprite translates for her.

"Metal arm. Gun. Shield." Sprite raises her eyebrow as she glances at Bruce who sighs in relief.

"That's sounds like Bucky and Sam." He mumbles as he walks over to the area, allowing himself to enter the suspected duo's field of vision. "Come! I think Y/N's there with them."

He waves the Eternals over who hesitantly follow him. Druig's eyes carefully analyzes the trio who look at them with caution before relaxing in recognizing the scientist.

"Bruce!" The woman calls as she gently hands the gun to Bucky. Bruce smiles before clearing to the side to introduce the new members.

Your eyes slightly widen as Bruce introduces them and you to them. Sam and Bucky nod in greeting. "What were you guys doing?" Bruce asks with a raised eyebrow.

"We were testing grandma's vision here and used my old bots for target practice." Sam teases which earns him a hard nudge on the rib. Bucky quietly laughs. Sam groans as he rubs his side. "T-turns out grandma here has a better vision than popsicle and me."

"Told you." You smile at him before nudging your head to the headquarters. "Go inside. I have something to talk about with the newbies and Bruce."

"Yes ma'am." Bucky rolls his eyes before dragging Sam inside who protests loudly. You laugh softly at the pair before looking back at the group.

"I suspect Bruce has told you about me?" You tilt your head, eyes glancing at him.

"Only that you know about our purpose here on Earth." Phastos responds for the group as they look at you with unreadable expressions. You look back at Bruce who shrugs.

"Considering the amount of time spent between the rumored superhumans battling a monster in the streets of London showing up on the news, a Celestial appearing out of nowhere in the sky to you responding to Bruce's call, I assume you've met Eros then?" Your arms cross over your chest as their eyes widened. You connect eyes with one person in particular as he smirks at you.

"You're just like us." Druig's stare intensity increases by the moment as he tilts his head with interest. " You're an Eternal."

The group looks at him before looking back at you. Sersi blinks in confusion. "B-but we we're the only ones sent here on Ear—"

"Was assigned to a different world." You cut her off. "We were months away from an emergence before our leader told us the truth. He couldn't take it anymore and we decided to destroy the Celestial before it even emerged. Some of our members we're taken for judgement but a few of us managed to escape. I was able to meet Eros because of that. You were all lucky enough to have been spared."

The group look at you with sad expressions. Sprite steps forward with another question. "Then? How'd you come to Earth?"

"Well first of all, I wasn't really able to settle anywhere but I was lucky enough to meet Bruce here and his little group back in Sakaar." You glance at Bruce who smiles sheepishly before continuing. "Helped them escape, met Thanos, got transported to Earth, fought Thanos, lost, then the rest is history." You smile, clasping your hands behind you. "Why don't we discuss more inside? I'm sure you're all tired from the trip."

"Y'know what reminds me of you?" Kingo laughs as he looks at you from his side of the couch. "Artemis. Goddess of hunt."

Sprite rolls her eyes beside him. "You have to stop him before he starts associating you with every little thing he can find."

"Shut up Sprite." Kingo pushes her playfully as the group erupts in another set of laughter. Bruce had left you with the group in the living area to familiarize with one another. You were surprised to see yourself getting along quite well with this group of Eternals. You thought your family of Eternals were the only people you'll feel at home with and while the Avengers were quite dear to your heart, the emotions brought by the price of immortality and the ever changing scenery was always going to put a barrier on your relationships with humans. After seeing them on the news, you knew you had to find them and you're glad you did.

Druig glances at you smiling with content as you watch the others converse with laughter and smiles. He furrows his eyebrows as he notices you seeming to be quite distracted. He leans close. "Penny for your thoughts?"

You glance at him with a smirk. "Huh. Mind reader?"

Druig nods as he takes a bite of another chip. "Can do more than that too. Can't seem to read yours properly though.... It's all ... jumbled."

You smirk, amused. "I suppose my mind multitasks a lot." He chuckles as he turns his body towards you, eyes examining your figure.

"Are you checking me out?"

"Depends."

"On what?" You let out a small laugh.

"Mentally or physically." His eyes then locks with your own before winking. "Multitasking."

"Hm, funny." Your arm reaches out and taps his cheek playfully. Before you could pull it back, his hand immediately stops it from leaving his cheek. Your eyes look at him, confused.

"Thoughts like that don't help you sleep at night, Luna." He gently lowers your hand, fingers still intertwined with yours. "I can help you forget."

You look down at your hands before looking back at him. "And what thoughts exactly?"

"Thoughts of guilt, pain, loneliness, being lost." He lists off, eyes still trained on you. It seems as if the chatter from the other Eternals begins to blur as the both of you can only focus on one another. "You think too much. I can alter things for you. Give you the rest you deserve."

Oh.

To forget. Would that really help you solve your problems?

But the memories, the laughter, the happiness you felt with your family and the pain you endured when you had to fight against your purpose to preserve life. Even if it means losing your family. But despite it all, forgetting means you'd lose the meaning brought by it to your life. You'd forget the reason as to why you were alive.

It wasn't that you were mad for Druig reading your mind but it was the offer of making you forget the things you felt due to your experiences. These thoughts, feelings, emotions was what kept you in line. It kept you grounded. You lost almost all of your family and the rest, well you didn't even know where they are. You needed a reason to move forward and these experiences helped you become stronger. It made you meet the people that helped you on your journey. Bruce, Sam, Bucky, the Avengers, Humans, Earth. You didn't want to forget. It's close enough to ripping a huge part of your identity.

"You know." You gently pull your hand away from him as you offer him a smile. "You're powers are impressive but quite annoying to have around."

You stood up from the couch, bidding the others goodbye as Druig can only stare at your figure disappearing into one of the hallways.

"Those arrows are a pain in the ass." Sam mumbles as he glares at the cosmic arrow stuck on the wall. Y/N laughs as her hands generate a golden arrow within her palm. "It fucking went through Bucky. That's cheating."

"My arrows go the way I want them to go." You smile as your hand releases your bow, allowing it to disintegrate into thin air. "Also I could hear and see Bucky a mile away. That sneak trick won't work on me."

Bucky groans from his place on the floor. "It's not my fault you have the ears and eyes of a fucking dog or something."

You roll your eyes as you extend your hand, helping Bucky to stand up. The three of you were sparring in the practice room during the early hours in the morning, the duo was trying to find ways to deflect your arrows and improve on their stealth and accuracy. Being blessed with heightened senses, precise accuracy and arrows that bend and go to your command really had its perks.

The duo bicker as they went to get some food while you stayed and admired the view from the large windows displaying the vast area of the compound. You're about to turn and leave when a knock halts your plans.

"Hey." Druig nods as he leans against the door frame. You smile at him before greeting back.

"What brings you here, Druig?" Your palm summons another arrow, twirling it within your fingertips as you look at him with interest.

He makes his way inside before stopping in front of you. "Just thinking."

"About what?"

"You." He answers with no hesitation. "I find you interesting."

You let out an amused chuckle. "You flirting with me? After trying to get into my head?"

Druig bites his lip before stepping closer. "I'm sorry for that. It was rude of me to do it so casually. I didn't mean to offend you."

The arrows disappears with a twirl of your hand before crossing your arms over your chest. "You were right. I do have sleepless nights but if getting enough sleep means forgetting what I felt even if its just for few seconds then I'd rather not sleep at all."

Druig nods. "I know how those emotions mean to you. I felt it. It was wrong of me for suggesting to use my powers on erasing something important to you."

You could only look at him, eyes analyzing the expression on his face. His stare unwavering and completely sincere.

"How can I make it up to you?" He mumbles hands gently grabbing your arms. The warmth you felt from his touch begins to make your skin tingle.

"Well," You squint your eyes, thinking of an answer to his question before smiling. You lean in close, Druig's eyes glancing down at your lips. "I suppose you can think of another way to make me forget for awhile."

Druig laughs as he grabs your waist closer. "Other ways hm? Aren't we skipping a few steps, Luna?"

You could only grin as you press a soft kiss on his cheek. "Then take me out to dinner, love." You smile teasingly before pulling from his embrace and dashing out of the room.

Druig pokes his tongue against the inside of his cheek before chuckling in amusement.

"What a sneaky little hunter you are, dear Artemis."
