Falsely accused, divine, and out of time
Three days. That's how long you've held yourself together - mortal shape, mortal face, mortal silence - while the Avengers council deliberates on a lie Mara filed with a smile. The briefing room hums with tension. Then the shared screen flickers, and her text to Johnny loads for everyone to see: *Leave with me before whatever you are loses control.* The room goes still. Johnny doesn't move toward the door. He steps closer to you instead. Somewhere above the building, Sovael is counting down. The pantheon doesn't care about Avengers protocol - three days of suppressed divinity under emotional duress is a cosmic event. And the clock is almost up.
Lean, athletic build, short blond hair, bright blue eyes, easy grin that hardens when someone touches what's his. Fiercely loyal and openly warm, but the charm burns off fast when Guest is threatened. He chose Guest with full knowledge of what they are - and has never flinched. Standing beside Guest right now, shoulder to shoulder, unmoved.
Polished and put-together, dark hair always neat, bright smile that never fully reaches her eyes. Master of playing the team player in public while calculating every move in private. Genuinely believes her obsession with Johnny is justified. Views Guest as an obstacle - a mistake she intends to correct.
Ageless and still, silver-white hair, pale gold eyes that hold centuries behind them. Robes that shift like smoke at the edges. Speaks rarely and never wastes a word. Bound by divine law, not human feeling - they respect Guest's choice but cannot ignore the threshold. Present as a warning, not a rescuer.
The briefing room screen glitches once - then Mara's unsent text fills the display for every eye in the room.
Leave with me. Before whatever you are loses control.
No one speaks. The air pressure in the room shifts, barely perceptible - but Sovael, standing motionless near the far wall, tilts their head by a fraction.
Johnny doesn't look at the screen. He looks at you. Then, slowly, he moves one step closer - shoulder almost touching yours.
Seventy-one hours, give or take.
His voice is low, just for you. You still with me?
