Another World /2/ Marvel FF

Asta was laying in medbay. She had surgery done to her, but with her blood lose and Simmons' hesitance to give her human blood, she was on bed rest until she got her strength back. And honestly, she needed it. She hasn't properly rested since the Framework and it was hitting her all at once.

All was fine, until the emergency red lights began to go off in the Lighthouse. "You may have notice the Lighthouse going into lockdown mode. This is not a dril. The Lighthouse is keeping us safe. All exits, including the hangar, have been sealed to protect us from any outside intrusion. Which is good, 'cause there is currently a sizeable alien spaceship overhead. Oh, and due to a technical malfuncition, the Lighthouse thinks we're under nuclear attack, so we may be trapped inside for 15 years... ish. I'm sure theres a way around that. So in the meantime, there's no reason to panic. The Lighthouse survives the Earth cracking apart, so one flying saucer, probably no big deal." Coulson's voice rings through the P.A. System.

"Of course there's more aliens." Asta mutters under her breath and she slowly sits up, groaning at the pain in her stitches. Then suddenly all the power goes out. "Oh for the love of Allfather." she slowly moves of the bed, holding her self up to not fall over. Taking in a breath, she removes her IV letting out another groan as she does.

As she takes a moment to breath the red emergency lights turn back on right before the lights flicker on in her room. "Thats not ominous at all." she says to herself before lifting her top a little to check her bandage over the stitches to see no blood. "Good. Good." she whispers, lowering her top and moving towards the door as the lights flicker off again.

She makes her way down the hall, not seeing much in front of her before the lights turn on again. She sighs, continuing on making her way to the lab, hoping someone will let her know whats going on with the Alien invasion currently going on above them.

Everyone seems to be busy becasue every hall she went down, she saw no one. It didn't take long for the lights to begin to flicker again. Asta begins to push herself to walk faster and make it to the main control hub seeing everyone but Jemma, Fitz, Daisy and Deke. "Could mean they're already inside." Coulson says to them as she enters the room.

"Whats going on?" the Asgardian questions as she leans on the railing.

"Asta you should be resting." May scolds.

Before the blonde can respond a crash happened behind her, causing them all to turn and see Deke falling out of a vent in the wall. "They're already inside!" he tells everyone as he gets up.

"We don't even know who 'they' are." Mack points out.

Deke pants to catch his breath, "I do." he reveals.

They call the scientists who were in another part of the lighthouse despite the glitching software so the whole team, minus Daisy, can get the whole story on the aliens they were facing off against. "The Remorath are marauders. They're intergalactic scavengers with no planet of their own, so they just take from others, and-and wherever they go, darkness follows." Deke explains.

"Darkness?" May questions. "That's a little vague."

"Well, it's not the concept of darkness, it's literal darkness. It follows them because they're magic and they can see in the dark, and we can't, so it makes them kill us better with-with their claws." Deke rambles.

"Sorry, did you say magic, and... Claws?" Asta questions, focusing on the claws part.

"Yeah. Did I not mention the footlong razor claws? Because, yeah." Deke reconfirms.

"Well, people in the future survive. There must be a way to stop them." Mack reasons out.

"No, we didn't stop them. We just- We just gave them whatever they wanted, and then, said thank you and... cleaned up the bodies after they left." Deke informs somberly.
