Characters Mark Curry [Makkari]; Sersi; Thena Eliot; Iron Man
Synopsis Ike Harris is dead. He's been atomized. Mark Curry seeks out a child star who he heard was an Eternal and Iron Man confronts a confused and oddly likeable Sersi. What is going on? All of the Eternals have forgotten who they are, where they came from, and what their purpose on Earth is. Ike was seeking them out. But Ike is dead. Mark moves so fast he can stop hundreds of bullets. And there is no evidence that Sersi was ever a member of the Avengers. The Celestials are up to something, and the Deviants are religious.
