Tørtured Søuls [REWRITTEN]

The Aether

-Third Person POV-
Some things in life are meant to be left undisturbed. Untouched by others whether it's man, gods, goddesses or any other creature/entities within the universe.

However, curiosity tends to rule over general morals and senses. Curiosity can discover beautiful things like technology, another species, ancient ruins, another planet, and hidden treasures.

Although, curiosity can also lead to discovering information that could destroy everything around someone; destroy civilisations and even destroy planets, possibly having a chain reaction of disasters following after.

And that's what exactly happened with Jane Foster and her curiosity.

-Third Person POV-
Jane Foster, her friend Darcy Lewis, and Darcy's supposed intern named Ian hurriedly rushed towards an old factory in London. Jane held onto one of her gadgets as she was clearly anxious.

Upon entering the old factory, the three young adults heard a noise.

"I am not getting stabbed in the name of science," Darcy declared. Darcy then holds up her hands and shouts, "It's okay, we're Americans!"

Jane looked at her friend in disbelief, half-whispering and half-shouting, "Is that supposed to make them like us?"

All three were on guard as they walked through the old factory. Suddenly, they heard voices. However, these weren't just any kind of voices, they were voices that belonged to children. Jane, Darcy, and Ian were unaware that there were three children inside the old factory with them—a girl and two boys.

The girl whispered, "Make it go away."

After one boy told the girl to hush, the three kids cautiously emerged out of their hiding spot.

Jane looked relieved, sighing, "Oh, they're kids."

The girl looked worried as she asked, "Are you the police?"

"No, we're scientists," Jane reassured as she glanced at Darcy and her intern Ian, adding, "well, I am."

Darcy's smile dropped after hearing Jane's last part of her sentence as Darcy retorted, "Thanks."

The same boy that told the girl to hush earlier stated, "We just found it."

All three adults were confused as to what the kids found but Jane had hoped it was what she was anxiously looking for; although she was only partially aware of what it was that she was searching for.

Jane kindly asked, "Can you show us?"

The three kids led Jane, Darcy, and Ian to an empty room with a truck. The second boy reached out to the truck, pushing it up with just two fingers. All six people looked up in amazement as the truck began floating mid-air.

"That doesn't seem rigged," Darcy nervously commented.

Out of excitement, the kids decide to take Jane, Darcy, and Ian to a stairwell in the factory. All of them were leaning against the railing on the stairs that circled upwards. One of the kids leaned over the railing and dropped a bottle. While the bottle was going down, it suddenly disappeared into thin air.

Darcy's face scrunched up in confusion as she asked, "Where did it go?"

The girl pointed her finger up as everyone's eyes followed to where the girl was pointing. While they were looking up, the bottle reappeared above them, only to continuously fall and disappear into thin air in the same spots.

"That's," Darcy muttered, "that's incredible."

Jane picked up an empty can and dropped it down over the railing. At first, the empty can ends up doing the same thing, disappearing into thin air, but when they all looked up to watch it reappear again, nothing happened.
