-"Alright so the two of you have a really rare connection. It's based on the goddess of flowers Antheia and the god of the sun Helios. These two fell in love. Their love was epic, the people on their planet Ceres. They made a vow on their love, that if somewhere in time, there are two people, who are destined to be them, will be gifted with this sign as a symbol of true love. But one day Anteia fell in love with another man. Helios agreed to let her go under the condition, that she would have to give up the one thing she wished for: children. She agreed on the terms, but soon she realised that her wish for children is only growing and she wants it more than anything in this world. So she killed Helios in term to be freed from the agreement and have children. With that murder she lost her status as the goddess of flowers and became the keeper of darkness. Before Helios died, he made a last vow Anteia didn't know of: He wanted the people, who are gifted with the epic love to suffer the way that he did. If the lines add up to a star, they suffer his pain and will have a slowly, aching, death."-
Grace woke up breathing heavily. She looked around through the room and saw Steve sitting next to her bed. Grace smiled and touched his hand. Steve immediately woke up and looked at her. "Hey, how are you?", he asked. She smiled and said: " I'm still in one peace." They both laughed. "Steve, I think we need to talk about..." "about our connection, I know." A moment of silence."We don't really know what causes the line to appear, do we?", Steve asked. "No... I mean there was a line when we first met, but maybe it was just to set it of, you know?", Grace replied. "Any way, we can't take the risk, Steve. I feel a deep connection with you, I've never felt this before in my life and apparently I'm 2697 years old." They both laughed. "Sooo... Keeping the distance?", he asked. "Keeping the distance.", she replied. A knock on the door ended their conversation. "Come in!", Grace said. Tony walked in. "Hey, you're awake, good to see you up again. Someone wants to see you." "Oh just send Peter in.", she answered. "Well, it's not Peter... It's Loki.", Tony said.
