Anya slowly softens, and she lowers her defensive arms. Once she does, the voiceless woman comes closer and wraps her arms around Anya. She swallows, feeling her eyes sting , she couldn't help but embrace her back. The Asian woman smiles wider and joins the hug. The others watch with smiles on their faces.
They all pull away and the woman without a voice smiles gently at Anya, cupping her cheek affectionately. She starts signing to her, and the Asian woman translates. "She says that you look very grown up now."
Anya blows out a breath, still trying to wrap her mind around this. "Are you... are you my mother?"
From that question, the other woman lets out a voiceless laugh, shaking her head. The others snicker in amusement.
The Asian woman smiles. "No. She's not your mother." She tells her. "I'm Sersi, this is Makkari." She gestures to the voiceless woman who is still watching Anya with a soft smile. "Over there is Phastos, Druig, and Kingo. The others aren't present today. Difficult to reach."
The men wave at Anya, and she doesn't move. Her eyes fill with tears, and all the amusement on their faces fade away. She wanted to ask about her mother, but the words seem to clog inside her throat.
"We're Eternals. We came here seven thousand years ago to protect humans from deviants." Sersi says, as if reciting something, but Anya just exhales.
The man named Phastos adds, "You're half-Eternal. Half-mortal."
"And what does that make me?"
Makkari makes a gesture with her hands and intense eyes. Druig speaks Makkari's words. "The first of your kind."
Anya musters a humorless smile. "And I'm guessing that's a long story, hm?"
"A bit." Kingo tells her. He genuinely looks familiar, but Anya can't quite put her finger on it.
"Is it true that you all killed my father?"
Phastos looks surprised. "What? No! We didn't kill your father. The Celestials did, the ones who made us. When they found out about him and your mother, they diverted the paths of Deviants and led them to where you both lived, to have you both killed. Being half-Eternal, you were the only survivor, and humans took you to an orphanage."
"But you all did nothing. You didn't protect him, did you?" Tears streamed down Anya's face and she shakes her head, and the others stay silent.
Except Sersi, since she decides to speak. "We were instructed not to interfere with anything involving humans. You are half-human. We couldn't do anything."
"I don't want to listen to this. I want to go back where I came from."
"We took you back to your timeline. Phastos here developed a device that can transport you anywhere and anywhen." Sersi informs. Like a TemPad? "Right now, our spacecraft is hovering over Wakanda."
