Young and Beautiful [ Druig ]

Everyone sat in silence as Sersi finished telling them the truth about themselves and their true nature, her finally able to speak to Arishem.

Kingo breaks the silence, "So you're saying we are basically fancy robots and our past memories are stored somewhere... in space."

"And you forgot that Arishem made the deviants," Narcisa adds in.

"Right, thank you." Kingo says.

"I'm sorry Thena," Gilgamesh says. "You tried to warn us."

Narcisa puts it together, "The last time that asshole Arishem reset your memories, he probably did something wrong... you know since he's an asshole."

"What do you mean?" Kingo asks.

"We'll think about, Mah'd W'yry is remembering our past life - T was remembering all the other planets we were sent to and everyone dying during the Emergence."

"I thought we were heroes," Gilgamesh sighs. "Turns out we are the bad guys"

"We are not the bad guys, okay?" Kingo says. "We have helped the Celestials expand life across the Universe, that's not what bad guys do."

"Yeah bad guys let innocent people die," Narcisa fake gasps, "Oh wait, that is us." She says, rolling her eyes. She slumps down in her chair, crossing her arms over her chest.

"We have to stop the Emergence," Sersi says.

"Sersi, we have no right to stop the birth of a Celestial." Kingo says.

"There has to be a way, Tiamut can emerge without destroying the Earth. We just have to delay it until we figure out how." Sersi says.

"Could Druig control it's mind?" Gilgamesh wonders, Narcisa throwing her head back and scoffing. "Maybe put it to sleep?"

"Put it to sleep? Are you serious?" Sprite asks.

"Gilgamesh asked Druig to put me to sleep once," Thena says.

Gilgamesh laughs, "So, I could take a vacation to Fiji, you know."

Kingo raises his voice, "We are talking about a Celestial, okay?"

"We have to try." Sersi says. "We're not gonna not let everyone on Earth die. Right?"

"Right," Karun says, everyone looking at him. "I'm human, I am little biased."

"The world is ending." Kingo says in Hindi, "You take a flight and go home."

"And do what? Watch TV?" Karun scoffs. "When I could be with the Earth's original superheroes as they try to save the world?"

"Fine," Kingo says, grabbing his cup. "If you want to, stay."

"Thank you very much sir," Karun says.
