A/N: You know what? never mind, kind of boring without writing, I'll just tone down the update by a lot... midterm's coming so I'll probably won't upload when that time comes.

In a crowded front of Tower Hill, London, a man was laid on a chopping block, his head covered with black cloth, ready for an execution.
Beside him was a large man, holding a giant axe, standing menacingly in front of the crowd.
Another man then walked to the platform, bringing a scroll with him. He then stood in front of the man that was laying on the chopping block, and turned to the crowd.
"In the name of his majesty, King Henry VIII, the Duke of Buckingham, Edward Stafford, is proven guilty of treason. Therefore, Edward Stafford will be sentenced to death by decapitation!"
The Duke whimpered as the man announced his sentence. "I did no such things! I never attempted to assassinate the king!"
The man didn't answer him, instead, he got off the platform. The executioner, who was sharpening his axe, walked towards the Duke, he raised his axe, and slammed it against the head of the duke. The head rolled to the ground, the crowd gasped, but no one cheered.
Meanwhile, a man and a woman, who was wearing strange clothing, quickly walked through the crowd, towards the centre of London.
"Stay calm Thena, I can't afford to stop you in these crowded streets." murmured the man to Thena.
"P-Pluto…"
"Thena, please, calm yourself down." murmured Pluto softly. "We're almost there, I'm here, you'll be fine."
The two Eternals then quickly got out of the crowded streets, entering an alleyway.
Thena's eyes suddenly turned white again, and she stopped.
"Thena, it's me." smiled Pluto sadly. "Take my hand."
Thena stared at him, before conjuring her spear. She raised her spear, and tried to slam Pluto with it.
Pluto then grabbed the spear, absorbed it, and held her hand. "Thena, hey, hey, it's me… come back to me Thena…"
Thena stammered. She stepped back a little, her eyes turned to normal. "I-It just happened again, didn't it?"
"It's okay, it's okay." comforted Pluto. "It's just around the corner, they changed buildings."
Thena just nodded meekly, and they both quickly traversed the alleyway. But then, a group of thugs suddenly surrounded them.
"Are you kidding me?" sighed Pluto in annoyance. "I've got no time for you all right now."
"Hey, hey, look who's here?" sneered one of the thugs. "Strange clothing you've got there… must've cost a fortune. Are you rich?"
"You're serious right?" scoffed Pluto. "Get away, don't have time for you all."
One of the thugs laughed again. He then pulled out a dagger, and threatened Pluto with it. "You walk in our alleyway, you need to pay."
"I can't believe I'm being threatened right now." chuckled Pluto. He then conjured his Persephone, it floats above him, heating up its surroundings.
"A wizard?" gulped the thug. His face turned pale in an instant, and he stepped back. "I- I didn't know y-you're a wizard sir… please forgive me…"
"What, you don't report me to the church?" scoffed Pluto.
"N-No, I- I won't! I swear! J-just don't kill me sir!"
Pluto raised his eyebrow, and he pointed his fingers at the thug, and Pesephone launched towards him.
The thug then was nailed to the wall, his body blistered as the hit burned the man's flesh.
The other thugs were scared shitless, and they ran away from Pluto.
"Fucking thugs." murmured Pluto in annoyance. He then calmed down when he saw Thena's pale face. "Come on, it's near here."
Pluto and Thena then traversed the small Alleyway, leaving the body alone. He then entered the big road again, and arrived at the London Sanctum.
He knocked on the door slowly.
No answer.
Pluto frowned, and knocked again, more roughly this time.
Still, no answer
"Fucking stuck-up sorcerers." cursed Pluto. "Always thinks that they're the shit."
Pluto then slammed his hands towards the door, and shouted. "Open the fucking door you bald woman!"
The door then opened slowly, revealing a bunch of sorcerers, ready to fight at a moment's notice.
"Where's your master?" asked Pluto calmly. They didn't answer, instead, they conjured eldritch shields, ready to fight.
"Hey little girl!" shouted Pluto out of nowhere. "If you don't show up right now, I'll kill your pets."
No answer.
Pluto sighed, and summoned his Persephone once again. The wooden floor below him charred as he stabbed his Persephone to the ground.
He was about to attack, but then, she appeared.
"Everyone, stand down." she said. She floats in the air, the time stone around her neck, and she hovers to Pluto.
"A rather rude entrance, don't you think so Mr. Smith?"
"You know I would come, why bother acting this way?" questioned Pluto curiously.
"A being such as you is always dangerous to be around, Mr. Smith." she said casually.
"Don't act like a wiseman, little girl, I'm more ancient than you." scoffed Pluto, shoving her away as he walked towards the Sorcerer Supreme's office.
The bald woman raised her eyebrow in amusement, and followed Pluto, who was walking through the sanctum as if he owned it.
Well, technically, he helped build it…
Pluto opened the door of the Sorcerer Supreme office roughly, he looked around, a bit different than the last time he visited, but still familiar.
"Thena, sit on the chair a bit, I'll look for the notes concerning the Eternals' psyche." commanded Pluto, Thena nodded, and walked to the chair in front of the desk.
"W-What will we do, Pluto? C-Can you really cure me?" stammered Thena.
"Love, please, are you doubting me?" Pluto chuckled. "Have faith Thena, have faith, I'll do anything for you, you know that."
Thena just smiled warmly at him, she wanted to say something, but another woman interrupted her.
"As much as I adore the romance that is blooming in front of me right now, I do not appreciate the trespassing, Mr. Smith, Mrs. Smith." commented a woman, the Ancient One.
Pluto sighed as tried to find Zhered Na's notes around the room. "Look Little girl, what's your name?"
"You can call me the Ancient One, Mr. Smith." smiled the Ancient One.
"Again, I am more ancient than you, and it is just strange calling you that, when were you born? 1300s? 1400s?"
"1300s." said the Ancient One.
"Well, from the looks of it, you look like you're of Celtic descent, so I'm going to call you Boudica." continued Pluto, making Ancie- Boudica's mouth twitched. "Well, Boudica, do you know where it is?"
"Where what, exactly?" asked The Ancient One innocently.
"Don't play with me, little girl, give it to me." demanded Pluto sternly. "I don't have time to play words with you, give it to me."
"You have to understand Mr. Smith, that you are an Eternal, an agent that will help the celestial below us born, and destroy earth in the process." explained TAO, "It is my job to defend earth, and you are a threat to earth."
"And you have to understand, Boudica." smiled Pluto menacingly. "That I don't give a fuck. Give the notes to me, or I swear I will burn this entire sanctum, fuck the future, fuck Strange and his arrogant arse."
TAO frowned at Pluto's words. "You know the future?" she asked, Thena also looking curiously at Pluto as well.
"Well, yeah, I have the seer ring." lied Pluto. "Now, last chance, give it to me."
TAO sighed, she then conjured the notes on Eternals' psyche, and gave it to Pluto.
"Thank you." smiled Pluto innocently as he read the notes. "Any place where I could perform the surgery?"
"We have one at the end of the corridor," said TAO. "But may I ask you, what ring?"
"Oh, I forgot it's immune to the time stone's sight." smirked Pluto. "You could discard all those visions that involve me interfering, Boudica, because it doesn't have the rings in it."
TAO frowned even more. "I don't quite understand… the time stone is a powerful artif-"
"Yes, yes, I know what a time stone is, I'm not going to be taught a lesson by a little girl like you." scoffed Pluto. He then looked at Thena, who was trying to keep herself calm. "Let's go Thena, I'll cure you now." he said, offering his hand to her, smiling.
Thena just nodded meekly, and both of them got out of the room, leaving TAO alone.
Suddenly, a blue construct of a teenager appeared out of nowhere, scaring TAO a bit.
"Hello." said the teen girl construct. After she greeted the shocked TAO, she looked at the eye around her neck, and examined it. She walked closer to TAO, and tapped the eye innocently.
"Time, are you there?" asked the construct, making TAO amused. "It's me, Space."
The eye suddenly glowed green, and it made a rhythmic glow, as if conversing.
"Well, I was absorbed by Pluto." shrugged the construct. "I am now with him, travelling. It's quite fun actually."
The eye repeatedly glows again, as if answering the construct.
"Well, I don't know if the bald one allows it…" murmured the construct, looking at TAO casually. "But I could talk to Pluto, I mean, he could just grab it from her… I think."
The eye then answered the construct again, repeatedly glowing.
"Well, see you later as well, Time." smiled the construct warmly. "Pluto is good at naming things, he'll probably have a good name for you as well… you see, he calls me Juno!"
The Ancient One was watching the whole scene with confusion and doubt. What is happening right now? She didn't see this in her vision… are all of those visions she saw false as well?
"Excuse me… but who are you?" asked TAO to the teenage girl construct.
"Hm?" the teen tilted her head. "I told you, didn't I? I am space."
"Space? As in the Space singularity?"
"Yep." nodded the construct. "Pluto calls me Juno. a really cool name."
"He… absorbed you?"
"Well, not wholly." shrugged Juno. "Just a part of me. But I'm growing right now, so maybe I'll be whole once again in the future."
The Ancient One suddenly felt like she would be in for a headache in the future…
