Generation Legacy Issue #14 "Genocide" - Part 2

"People know that Tommy and I are dating, would it really be that odd if people saw you doing something that he would want done?" Kelly asks, leaning into Karen's arm.

"It doesn't really matter I guess. Did Tommy set any back up plans or anything? In case the UNJE and Paragon wont help get them back?"

 

[Tokiwong]

A confused frown creases Karen's face when she sees Tommy sitting safely in the vehicle. She follows Kelly into the vehicle and buckles up next to her, desperately wishing for just an ordinary day for once. When the clone explains what he is, she puts her arm around Kelly's shoulders to comfort her, "We'll find your mom and Tommy. When we get you're gonna have a long talk with Paragon and then we'll get his help with getting them back, ok?"

“I agree with Karen the prudent option is to return to the Institute, and see what the UNJE can do about this current situation. It is a high probability that your mother and Tommy are both alive, given their high intellect and familiarity with the elite genome as it were. Plus I have a few questions I need to ask of Paragon on behalf of my firm,” Tommy’s clone says aloud.

Gilden

Gadget can’t help but smile, “Oh you are going to make me blush, Gilden. I think everything will be okay, you will be fine after some intensive care, and a little TLC; but what are we going to do about the Red Witch, it sounds like she got exactly what she wanted.”

“Well if I had penny for every entity that was pissed at me, I would be quite rich by your standards. But this is somewhat troubling, it sounds like a certain someone has made contact with beings best left undisturbed… they are pretty benign and have no real designs on this level of reality… you could think of them as proto-eternals; sort of what came before the very existence of the multiverse. Totally alien, I have no idea what they would want with Anika, but it’s doubtful it is anything seriously bad. Of course even if was, there is precious little we could actually do about it; they sort of exist outside reality as you understand it. Sort of like if this reality was a piece of paper, then they exist in the space just above below and around the paper, never touching it, but also just a hair’s length away,” the first Chaos explains.

The other Chaos adds, “It is more complex than that, but that is the gist of it. Eternals are not gods, these proto-beings are the closest thing one could conceive of as gods. They are the unformed remnants of what created all realities, they probably existed before what your scientists foolishly call the Big Bang. Although not too far off the mark. But knowing that, I think my little experiment has come to an end, not even I want to keep them mad at me for too long.”

“Such a shame I was having so much fun too, shall we do it now?” the first speaks.

“No let’s surprise them,” the other grins.

"It doesn't really matter I guess. Did Tommy set any back up plans or anything? In case the UNJE and Paragon wont help get them back?"

Tommy’s clone shrugs, “If you are referring to making love, or being romantic, I am perfectly apt to do that, if needed for appearances. As far as contingencies; of course we have contingencies for everything.”

Gadget can’t help but smile, “Oh you are going to make me blush, Gilden. I think everything will be okay, you will be fine after some intensive care, and a little TLC; but what are we going to do about the Red Witch, it sounds like she got exactly what she wanted.”

Gilden's eyes flutter open as he takes in Gadget's question as if he is trying to stay awake. "She did, she used us to get what she wanted but I know her secret, I know what is augmenting her powers... the ebon staff... Chaos' book, the one he gave me before our mission, it could help me find it... help me keep my parent's souls safe... with the staff we could stop the Red Witch."

"She needs to be stopped, she seems so powerful now... we can't let her do whatever she wants. I am with you Gilden, I will do whatever it takes to help keep your family safe and stop the Red Witch," she smiles trying to comfort him.

 

[Agamon]

Anika pretends she isn't listening, but she can't help but hear Chaos. "Proto-eternals? As if, so full of ," she mumbles, still staring out the window.

"No... no, that wont be needed." Kelly says, mustering the ability to blush, she was going to have to talk to Tommy about his clone. "No, I was actually saying that to Mr. Smith. This is just weird for me, you look like Tommy, and I guess thats the point but you aren't Tommy and we aren't together, he and I are. Or am I not making sense?"

"Whatever, its not important, not when mom and Tommy are being held."

 

[Hammerhead]

Despite the situation, Ryan couldn't help but smile at Anika's denial. Someone's full of , but it's not Chaos. If I couldn't face reality every time it collided with my existing belief in the way things are, we'd all be screwed. How predictable. He then pushed the body of Chaos off of him, suddenly and forcefully. "Surprise."

"Thanks for the info, Chaos. So if we take the void guys off the table, what do we have left? Just Red Witch. Which means that she's already making her move with whatever she's getting from Genocide's soul. Whatever she's doing is the most likely cause of Proxy's little temper tantrum, right? Which means we need to find her, and move fast. What the hell could she be trying if it pisses off the rest of the Eternals," Ryan asks the team members with him in the Aerodyne, locking eyes with each of them in turn.

Focus, people. You can't go around moping every time something goes wrong...which is always, in our kind of life.

Chaos lands on his rump with a smirk, “Well, now you are in a pickle, but I should take my leave. Rest assured you won’t stay like this forever; bye bye chums!”

Chaos disappears.

Tommy shrugs.

Mr. Smith speaks, “I am driving to a private strip and then we will take a flight to the Institute. You can relax, and rest just fine.”

Mark/Karen didn't return Ryan's gaze. It was just weird seeing that expression on Anika's face.

"Well, what seems to get them mad is stuff that messes with their status quo. Like when the Overseer tried to take over everything. So she probably wants to join their club or something." And we helped.
