When Eliza told Natasha about New Orleans, Natasha immediately had the other members of the Champions vetted by SHIELD. Her daughter was not going to be in a city thousands of miles away with people she didn't know about. Interesting that one of the members was Winter Guard and formerly Red Room. It didn't sit too well with Natasha, but after talking to her nephew and Ivan, she could live with it.

Of course the woman being there did make things easier for Natasha. A teleporter was an easier way to travel than flying down on a plane. One phone call was all it took to have the woman come to New York and pick Natasha up to take her to New Orleans. She wanted to check on Eliza and also tell her about the upcoming addition to the family.

Irina arrived on time and a moment later they were in New Orleans at the building where the Champions were making their headquarters. Natasha smiled at the thought of the Champions being revived. It called to the sentimental and nostalgic side of her.

She knocked on the door to Eliza's room.

Steve was just a little worried.  He hadn't heard from Anya in a couple days, either by phone or e-mail.  He knew she sometimes ignored both, but...

Something in his gut, what his dad jokingly called "Hawkeye senses", though, was nagging at him.  And since the last time anything with Anya had happened it had nearly sent Toni into a panic, calling her was out.

So he was going to have to either talk to Anya's dad (scary) or her mom (more scary).

He picked up the phone and dialed the Stark's number.

Enough time had passed and Kal had decided that it was time for lunch with her two cousins. Eli needed to meet Iason and vice versa. They were family after all and they would be dealing with each other for a VERY long time. It was best to get to know each other now.

Kalypso picked a small delicatessen in the Village. It was small enough that it wouldn't be crowded with people and yet have a wide variety of foods. The three of them were curious about humans and new experiences so Kal picked a place that would give them a variety of things to try.

She was early for a change. Mom always advised being fashionably late, but Kal thought that it was only okay for parties. For meeting friends and family it was just rude. Kal grabbed a cup of coffee, a table and waited.

The Eternals had always been a race that sought out the cold. It didn’t come as a surprise that their two cities of Olympia and Polaria were situated in the coldest climates on the planet. Olympia was in Antarctica, well secluded in a very desolate location. Only the most hardy and stubborn of humans would hope to find the city and even then the residents didn’t like interlopers.

The Eternals were a reclusive race, but there were a few who ventured out to mingle among their cousin humans.

Another race, the deviants, were another creation of the Celestial, were the enemies of the Eternals. They wanted to enslave the humans and rule the Earth. The deviants had always been stopped by the Eternals, but the shift of power was now changing.

The Deviants were stronger than they ever had been. They didn’t have the numbers they had had in the past, but now they had powers they never had. Powers that could now help them stand up to the accursed Eternals.

They climbed out of the cold waters and onto the ice shelf and headed for Olympia. An ally waited for them not far from the city.

Today was the day the Eternals would fall and the Deviants would start their rise to power.
