Glitter & Gold (Marvel/Star Wars Crossover)

Chapter 50: 74 Years Into The Future

~August 24th, 2091~

Once inside the Lighthouse, we were shown inside Kasius's suites, which were filled with people and tables of food. We wore elegant dresses and robes to fit in with the other nobles and senators here. Enoch informed us of much that he knew, including Daisy being known as the Destroyer of Worlds. I can't believe we had to deal with the Kree, they're one of the last species I'd like to deal with. As we stood by one of the tables filled of food from different planets, Enoch told us the different people in the room. "That is Lady Karaba. She is a demented brute. Her affection a curse to anyone who receives it."

We then saw a man walk into the room with the Kree man that Enoch informed us was Kasius himself. Enoch subtly pointed to that man. "And there is Senator Gaius Ponarian. I am repulsed by the sight. Even the man's closest friends find his temperament to be that of a diseased child monster."

Enoch sighed, clearly repulsed by Gaius. That man must be terrible. Leo groaned. " Seems Kasius has assembled the worst of the worst."

"Do not fear. You are all far more reprehensible than any other creature in this room." Enoch assured us.

"Thanks for that, Enoch." Leo replied.

I nodded. "Yeah, it's much appreciated right now."

Enoch smiled in return. "You're quite welcome. It was a rather fun pursuit, constructing your alias. No longer are you Leopold Fitz, but instead, Boshtok, a vile space marauder of unlimited wealth. As well as you Storm, and your friends."

Leo glanced down at his brooch with some type of larvae before tampering with it. "Was the brooch really necessary?"

Enoch nodded. "Indeed. That medal signifies the number of enemy lives you've taken."

"Just seems a little odd wearing a medal with little rhinestones on it." Leo commented.

I chuckled. "I hate to tell you that those are definitely not rhinestones."

"Indeed. She is right, those are Geg-ku larvae." Enoch informed him.

Kina and Typho snickered at Enoch's words. Leo immediately wiped his hand on his jacket upon hearing Enoch's words. Leo then placed a hand on Enoch's shoulder. "Okay, you know what? Let's drop the charade, find the others, and we'll shoot our way out."

"The chances of survival would be less than 2% for each individual..." Enoch trailed off as we heard Leo gasped. I followed his gaze to see him staring at Jemma, who wore clothing of the servants here. Enoch spoke up as he noticed where Leo's gaze lingered. "That is Jemma Simmons. Would you like me to broker an introduction?"

"Why would I need you to introduce me to Jemma Simmons?" Leo whispered.

"It's Marauder protocol." Enoch whispered back, reminding him of his new identity.

After talking around to some of the people, Leo approached Jemma, while I spotted Areria and Piecor, who were also in servant clothing with the gold markings. They were alone in a corner by one of the windows. I tried to act like I wasn't interested as I scanned the food, pretending to decide what to eat as I whispered out to them. "I'm so glad to see you both alright. Now, I know you want to hug me, and ask how I got here, but you two need to remain subtle. We can't attract any attention to ourselves."

I glanced around before speaking again. "You have no idea how happy I am to see you both alive. I was so worried..."

Neither Piecor or Areria said anything, confusing me. I reached out towards them. "You guys, you could at least respond."

"Is there a problem?"

I then whipped around to find Kasius. From the corner of my eye, I saw Areria and Piecor turn, rather surprised to see me. Remember you're under a disguise, I reminded myself. I narrowed my eyes as I faced Kasius. "I asked your servants a question, and they ignored me. That is one of the many things I do not tolerate."
