How does one get the attention of Earth's mightiest heroes one might ask? What about walking straight into their compound drenched in blood and invoking an ancient rite?

She does this out of fear. And no one can work out what that fear is because it's certainly not the mass murderer. But someone wants Elaine. And they want the secret she doesn't even know she's holding . Not even a god can stop them from trying to get her back. ********* Welcome to Sanguis Not Miss To You. This is an MCU fanfiction centred around an original character, an original storyline, and a rather unhealthy amount of ancient history. A few things before we begin: This story takes liberties with MCU canon, mythology, and history where necessary for the plot. Elaine is an original character, and this is not a reader-insert. The story is intended to be completely clean, with no explicit content. However, themes such as kidnapping and violence involving blood are heavily involved but I trust the reader to know their triggers. Historical and mythological material has been adapted for the purposes of the story, so this is fiction first and a history lesson second. I hope you enjoy following Elaine as much as I have enjoyed putting her through increasingly questionable situations. Now, shall we?

At the ruins of ancient Hierapolis, beneath the dazzling white terraces of Pamukkale, lies a place feared for centuries. The Ploutonion. Known to the Romans as Pluto's Gate, it was believed to be an entrance to the Underworld-a place where animals died mysteriously, priests claimed to speak with the gods, and the boundary between the living and the dead seemed terrifyingly thin. When archaeologist Dr. Elfina Smith arrives in Türkiye to investigate the legendary sanctuary, she expects to uncover the truth behind an ancient religious mystery. Instead, a researcher is found dead. An ancient inscription disappears. And beneath the ruins, Elfina discovers evidence of a chamber that should not exist. The ancient priests may not have been guarding a gateway to Hell. They may have been guarding something far more dangerous. As more members of the excavation team disappear, Elfina is drawn into a centuries-old conspiracy involving Roman priests, forbidden archaeological discoveries, a secret network of antiquities smugglers, and a mysterious archive hidden beneath the ancient city. Someone has been searching for the secret of Pluto's Gate for nearly two thousand years. And now they have finally found it. But the deeper Elfina descends into the ruins, the more she begins to wonder whether the ancient stories were merely myths-or whether the priests of Pluto's Gate knew something humanity was never meant to discover. Because sometimes the most dangerous mysteries are not about what lies beyond the door. They are about who has been waiting on the other side. The Gate has been found. And something is coming through.
