章 115: Chapter 104: The Ancient One, 1521 CE
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…
