AS THE ETERNALS made their joinery to Iraq and found themselves in the ruins of Babylon, Sprite uses her illusions to turn all of them invisible so that they won't be questioned by the humans in the area; some can be seen digging up fossils to bring back as an ancient artefact from their trip. However, Druig mind-controls the humans with ease and just simply instructs them to get back into their cars and leave. This then allows Sprite to rid the area with illusions so that the Eternals are visible once again.

Reyna walks along the dry ground, thankful that she is wearing a pair of glasses otherwise there would be sand in her eyes due to the wind. Druig had decided to walk alongside Reyna with his hands tucked into the pockets of the leather jacket that he's currently wearing. Sunglasses rest on the bridge of his nose, whilst his brown hair ruffles against the wind and becomes messy once again. The joggers and shirt he had worn in the Amazon had been replaced with a simple black shirt and black cargo pants, but he had chosen to keep the boots. Reyna silently admitted to herself that this new modern day look on Druig is very attractive, and it seems to fit his vibe perfectly.

"You not overheating in the sun?" Reyna teases.

"Funny considering I can feel you admiring me this whole time." Druig retorts with a smirk.

"Not true." Reyna denies. "I was simply judging the outfit choice you made. Not very suitable for the hot climate, don't you think?"

"Hm." Druig hums. "I don't particularly believe that you weren't staring at me. I couldn't blame you."

"I certainly didn't miss that inflated ego of yours, Druig." Reyna comments, sarcastically.

"Whatever you say, love." Druig replies.

Phastos pulls a holographic image of the Domo out into the palm of his hand before looking at the plain ground ahead. Everything starts to cave in with the loud sound of heavy rocks tumbling off of each other as it all falls apart. A strong gust of wind whips their skin aggressively while the ship rises up from where it was previously buried under the ground, hidden away from the rest of humanity. At the mere sight of this, Karun can be heard audibly gasping in shock at the fact that he's standing with the Eternals and is able to film the Domo making its reappearance.
