Earth Below Us Drifting Falling Floating Weightless Calling Calling Home
Kalypso hovered high above the Earth in the Mesosphere close to Kármán line where the Earth's atmosphere ended and space began. She looked down at her home planet, the small blue sphere spinning below her. From this height it looked so peaceful and so calm. There was no sound, no air, and only cold. It was almost perfect. Kalypso could stay up here for a very long time.

As much as she wanted to stay there, she knew she couldn't. She had to go to Olympia and talk to Ikaris and the other Eternals. The images that she pulled from the minds of the heroes were disturbing and what they meant was disturbing. It had unnerved her enough that she had barely slept in the past month. She really didn't need to sleep, but she liked doing it, especially with Jack next to her. Kal liked dreaming.

Kalypso enjoyed the calm and peace

War with the deviants would come soon. That much was guaranteed. Eventually they would strike at their ancient enemies, the Eternals. The war between the Eternals and deviants had been going on for tens of thousands of years, ever since the first days after the Celestials created the Eternals and the deviants.

Kal stared down at the planet. Being up here emphasized the point that she was pulling farther and father away from humanity. She had always known she was different, at one point believing she was just a mutant, and a little separate from normal humans. Now it was entirely different. She was an Eternal and even farther from humanity than before. This upcoming war would pull her even farther away.

A few more minutes and then she'd go to Olympia.

	Iason is not normally the hesitant sort. There's just a few exceptions. When these types of matters come up, things not for mortal ears, how do you approach or explain to Jack? There is... a mortal girl I feel strongly about, and I do not want to drive a wedge between us, but I cannot further endanger her or draw her into Eternal matters either.

	These types of things have never come up before, but most likely I will tell him it's Eternals' business and the Avengers need him more if we fail." She shrugged. I can't even think of another way to put it.* (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He nods once, looking down at the world very quietly for some time, waiting for her to signal some readiness to go. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kal placed a hand on his one shoulder. She will understand and her feelings for you will not change. As long as you return in the end. Kal offered him a small smile. Ready to go see your father? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	For that, I have been ready. Facing my father and the eternals is not a trial. It is mortals who continually perplex me. After Titan, I should also warn my mother and through her link to him find Adam Warlock. I may be away for a time. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	For me it is the opposite. I can deal with the humans, but I'm intimidated by all the Eternals. Kal smiled. Just remember to tell your girlfriend. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I will, difficult a role as playing among mortals is to take back up now. At least until Titan though, we can travel together. You can tell me how poorly I did. Yes, he's joking. Mostly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Please. I'm not one to judge anyone. Let's go. Want to race? She grinned. He'd totally win, but it was worth a try. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2010-01-07 09:54 pm UTC (link)
	But of course. It'd been a long time since he'd indulged himself in racing, usually versus comets and the like when he was little. And, to make sure its fun, like he did back then, win or lose, he makes sure its close. (Reply to this)(Parent)
