THE LARGEST CITY on Earth is Babylon, which was built purely for the Eternals to keep all humans safe from the Deviants. Each day, fighters will go out behind the walls and fight any of the creatures that are threatening to tear down the walls to create mass amounts of chaos. Many of refugees find themselves living inside the walls of Babylon with their families, growing older and living amongst the Eternals. The hero's are people that the young children admire and look up to as a role model.

Reyna had returned from yet another battle with the Deviants and had managed to save a little girl in the process. As soon as she stepped foot into the walls of Babylon and entered the Domo where she started to automatically make her way to the main room that everyone hangs around in. Fortunately, Phastos can be seen in the middle as he continues to design new pieces of technology for the humans. Druig is seated nearby, munching on some snacks that he retrieved. Sprite is also there too, remaining oddly quiet as she just admires the work that Phastos is doing.

"Hey, Reyna." Phastos greets.

"Hey!" Reyna greets back with a smile. "How's it going in here?"

"Pretty good, actually." Phastos replies.

The blonde simply nods in response, deciding not to say anything else so that she won't further distract him from his current work. Reyna makes her way to Druig where she immediately takes a seat opposite him and leans her back against the wall. Druig's blue eyes find themselves instantly glued onto Reyna as she's quick to capture his full attention. He silently holds his food out to Reyna as an offer for her to take some of it, but she shakes her head to decline it.

"How did it go?" Druig asks.

"There was only one today, so that's good." Reyna states with a light sigh. "I saved a little girl too."

"I didn't expect any less." Druig replies with a grin.

Reyna just smiles at his words, knowing that he has always been the one to truly knows about her love for humans and how stressful these missions can be. She leans her head against the glass wall beside the both of them, brown eyes glancing between each of the plants and flowers locked behind it as a piece of decoration. Druig watches her carefully as Reyna admires this, also knowing about her love for nature. His eyebrows furrow together slightly as he notices a slight wince in her actions.
