Marvel: Breezing Through History as an Eternal

Chapter 79: Mad Goddess. 969 CE

[3rd POV]

A bunch of people were gathering around a bed. On top of a bed is a black haired man, sleeping soundly as the people around him were arguing to themselves.

“Odin, what did you give him?” asked Ajak sternly to the old man.

“I gave him this.” said Odin casually, showing the tesseract to everyone.

“Is that?– ”

“Yes, it’s what you think.” cut Odin off.

“But why? Why would you want to give that to us?”

“I originally wanted to hide it somewhere on earth.” answered Odin. “But when I saw Pluto’s capabilities in the battle, I wanted him to guard it instead.”

“Odin, you know he can’t guard it forever?”

“Why is that?” questioned Gil suddenly. “I mean, we could just bring it back home when we finished our mission right? I mean, what is that anyway?”

“It’s one of the infinity stones, Gil.” said Ajak, surprising everyone.

“W-Well great, we could protect it back in Olympia, right?”

Ajak just smiled. “That is not possible.” she said. “We can’t bring anything back to Olympia.”

Gil just grunted and leaned back against a wall.

Meanwhile, Odin shook his head in pity on these Eternals. “Well, if he wakes up, tell him to be careful, this thing is not a toy.”

Thena, who was sitting beside Pluto’s sleeping body and holding his hand, grabbed the cube. “I’ll keep it. He’s too reckless on these things.” she said coldly.

Odin just smiled wryly, pitying Pluto who will face the wrath of this lady after he wakes up.

Ajak then continued. “Odin, we can’t-”

“I’m sorry Ajak, but I decided to hide the stone here. There’s already one more stone on earth anyway, one more would be no problem.”

Ajak sighed. “Okay, but we hold no responsibility if something ever happens.”

“I’ll take that.” he said, taking his helmet from the desk. He equipped it, and said to the others. “Well, it’s time for me to go, tell Pluto I will meet him again in a couple of decades.”

Ajak sighed, and nodded. Odin then left with his guards, before the others heard a loud booming sound from outside, possibly from the bifrost.

Kingo then sighed, looking at the sleeping Pluto. “What the hell is this guy doing… absorbing an infinity stone like that…”

“He’s always been drawn to power.” commented Sersi. “Curious as well.”

“And reckless.” added Thena flatly. “Reckless and stupid.”

The others gulped. They could tell that Thena was not in a good mood right now.

Ajak noticed this, and looked at everyone else. “Come on everyone, let Thena stay with Pluto.”

The others nodded, and all of them walked out of the room, leaving the sleeping Pluto with Thena.

The entire time, Thena didn’t stop looking at his sleeping face. She was annoyed, worried, mad, and sad at the same time. When she saw him almost dying on that field, holding the cube, her entire memory of him suddenly flashed through her mind, remembering all the good times, and the bad times she had spent with him.

Thena clenched his hands so tightly. “Why are you so reckless?” she murmured in frustration.

Thena stayed like that for a little while, before something strange happened.

“Are you Thena?” questioned the voice of a little girl.

Thena quickly released Pluto’s hand, and conjured a two handed sword. She turned around, and saw a blue construct of a little girl, sitting on a desk, swinging her legs back and forth, looking at Thena curiously.

“Who are you?” said Thena, frowning.

“I am Juno!” exclaimed the construct. “Pluto is me, and I am Pluto.”

“A construct?” questioned Thena softly. “But you’re… blue?”

Juno was confused. “Is that not good?” she questioned, looking at herself. “I can’t change it though…”

“No…” said Thena. “How can you be here? How is Pluto?”

“He’s just resting right now.” she answered. “Tired after absorbing me.”

“Absorbing? –wait, are you?”

Before she could say more, Pluto suddenly woke up roughly. He instantly sat up, and coughed loudly.

“Fucking hell…” he groaned.

“And there he goes~” sang Juno. “Anyway, we’ll talk later, bye!”

Juno then vanished into thin air, leaving some magical dust in the air.

“I swear, I’ll never do that again…” murmured Pluto while bashing himself in the head, trying to fix some things… “Yeah, yeah, I know, just shut up.” he said again, talking to himself.

He then looked around, only to see a surprised Thena, still holding her great sword.

“Uh… Thena? Why are you holding a sword?” he questioned nervously.

Thena just stared at him blankly, before her expression turned to rage. She unsummoned her sword, and grabbed Pluto by the collar.

“Do you have any idea how worried I was?!” she shouted on his face, spitting all over. “You foolish madman!”

Pluto just gulped as Thena shouted at him. “W-Well, it was just curiosity, I- I never intended to be like this…”

“You are dealing with an infinity stone!” argued Thena. “And you dare try your ‘curiosity’ on it?!”

“W-Well…”

Before Pluto could argue again, Thena just released him, and instead hugged him tightly. “You are so reckless…” she murmured, Pluto could feel her crying at his neck.

“I’m sorry, Thena…” said Pluto softly, hugging her back. “Sorry, yes, I was reckless.”

“For a second I thought you broke our promise…” she said, hugging him more tightly. “That we would be together until the end.”

Pluto felt guilty as hell, and didn’t say anything more. He allowed her to hug him as she pleased. They stayed like that for a couple minutes, calming Thena down.

—

After Thena had calmed down, they were sitting in front of each other, with Thena holding his hand tightly.

“So, what was that earlier?” she questioned. “That blue construct?”

“Oh you mean Juno?” Pluto chuckled. “I absorbed some of the powers of the space stone, turns out the stone is sentient, so I accidentally made it my construct…”

“So… Juno is the space stone?”

Pluto shook his head. “Not quite. She’s only a small fraction of the stone, the stone could still be used…”

“But why is she blue?” questioned Thena curiously.

Pluto scoffed. “Because she comes from the space stone?”

“The others were gold.”

“Because they were somehow normal, while Juno is… special…”

Thena just hummed. “Well, please don’t do that again… you worried me for a second there…”

“I promise I won't do it again.” Nodded Pluto. “So… you can let go of my hand now…”

Thena sighed, before releasing Pluto’s hand. But then, she stood up, walking to the side of Pluto, before sitting beside him, laying her head on his shoulder. “Let’s stay like this a bit..”

Pluto chuckled, “Okay.”
