Eli listened to Vernique's words as she said so many of the things he thought about but could not truly put into words. At first, he figured that he was only on this mission with the Avengers due to good (or bad, some might think) timing. But the idea of stopping Kang had ceased to be about an "adventure" and was now a very real goal to him.

If they didn't stop him, many would suffer and perish, even the Eternals themselves. Vernique's words about the young woman's passing touched home with him; why should one life matter more or less than others?

"I do not consider that we will not return from this journey, Vernique. We left with six companions, and we will return with six.

However, it is a credit you that you care about the less known and even the nameless who die to preserve those who are considered 'greater' or 'more important'. Too often, in all the history I have studied, do I see that few remember those who helped the 'great' and 'mighty' on their way. Every king, every prince, every leader of men who rose above their circumstances were carried on the shoulders of those who names will never be spoken. You are a special person, Vernique, to think of those who are often not spared a first though, let alone a second, simply because it was their 'duty' or their 'place'.

I guess I am trying to say that I admire you for that." he says, remembering something his mother once told him.

History often remembers those who took the road less traveled, but rarely, if at all, does it speak of those who paved the road those people chose to walk.
