Her first steps on Earth land before a Deviant. She narrows her eyes at the creature and from her hands expands a force of cosmic design that catapults the Deviant toward the cliffside. Two cosmic bullets ring out from behind her, sending the Deviant to its death in the ocean.

Isis looks over her shoulder at Kingo. He has a grin on his face, as if to say, "This is fun, isn't it?"

"Incoming!" He points to a second Deviant falling from the sky, its blood raining down with it.

Isis creates a shield around herself and Kingo, and the Deviant ricochets off and through the rubble. From above, two rays of light pierce its heart. Ikaris lands beside the body, tossing the Deviant's missing wing to the side.

"Watch where you drop those," she says to him when the dust clears.

"I will remember that next time," he answers with a smile.

In the distance, Isis sees Thena and Gilgamesh leaving behind a third Deviant corpse. The two are imposing in the way they walk but delicate in the way he leads her by the hand. Even further in the distance, five figures descend from the sky. The Eternals join each other along the cliffside with the Domo faithfully hovering behind them. As the humans approach with weapons in trembling hands, Druig steps forward to meet them. With a wave of his hand and a glow in his eyes, he absolves the threat. He interlaces his fingers in front of his waist and falls back in line beside Isis.

She looks over her shoulder at the sun touching the horizon behind them. She marvels at the planet which she will call home for the next, well, eternity. Druig notices her turned away and follows her gaze to the sunset. He feels more apprehensive than her about their newfound home and for a reason he can't yet ascertain. Isis looks back and catches his gaze. They share a glance short enough to be insignificant in that moment but long enough for their eyes to linger in each other's thoughts.
