Nightmares and Dreamscapes - Kal/Buck Angst 11
The scene shifted and Kalypso looked around. The buildings of New York had been destroyed and turned into rubble. The familiar landmarks and buildings were gone. Something had destroyed one of the greatest cities on Earth.

Kal looked around. Where were the Avengers? Why hadn't they stopped this destruction? Where were the Defenders? The X-Men? Any of the other hero teams? Why had they let this happen?

People moved about in the rubble and ruins and Kal desperately sought a familiar face. An elderly gentleman came up to her. He smiled and said her name, but she didn't recognize him. He said her name again and Kal took a closer look at him. "Jack?" No. It couldn't be Jack. Jack wasn't old and this man looked like he was pushing one hundred.

He smiled and nodded. Before he could speak again he started to age more and started turning into dust. "Nooo!" she yelled and reached out a hand. Jack turned completely into dust by the ravages of time and blew away with the wind. Kal's gut twisted into a knot.

There was laughing behind her and she turned to see her uncle standing there. The Mad Titan laughed and destroyed another building.

Kal reached out with her mind to find any Avenger left alive.

	He doesn't expect her to get over it, just like that. But he wants to give her faith in something that might live beyond this generation, something to hope for for all of her days to come. "Its going to be alright. Something my dad once said... as long as there's one Avenger left, somehow, it will all work out. And I'd like to consider you one of us." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The smile came easier this time. "Thanks." It meant a lot to her that she was part of something. Ever since learning she was an Eternal she had felt more and more apart from mortals and their world. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The landscape shifted a bit. The city wasn't as destroyed as before, but Thanos was still there. This time he didn't look so big or as tough. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Buck, or this version of him, runs with that. "You have an opportunity - yes, a lot will change in your lifetime, but with people like you, the gods, your cousin... things can be carried forward. All the values, the important things of this age can be remembered, preserved. You can help not only the Avengers of now... but those of the future as well. You have a place here, not only because you earned it through your deeds... but because you have a very unique ability to make sure this scene never happens."

	The scene shifted the more he spoke. Her confidence in herself, in him and the Avengers grew with each passing moment. The landscape reflected that confidence. Kal smiled. "You're right. How about we go kick my uncle's ass and toss him back into space?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We're missing something first... the Avengers aren't just you and me... and this world is clearly not ending anymore. You're part of something... so let's /all/ go kick his ass." Because he knows, somewhere in her mind, she can do it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	There were a few moments where nothing happened and then the other Avengers started to materialize. Their teammates along with various adult Avengers appeared. For added measure a few Eternals appeared as well. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The call from Buck goes up one more time, "AVENGER ASSEMBLE!" and he throws himself into the fight, leading the charge. (Reply to this)(Parent)
