The Kree´s plan
N/A: the last arc of this story that is about to close. Some parts are inspired by some prompts I did. Supreme intelligence Kree will be called just Supreme.
(flashback)
"Is 11 o'clock." Jupiter sing-song tone teased the teen under the bed. "You´re not sleeping. And you have class tomorrow" Jupiter speaks in good humour as his feline eyes never left the mass under the blanket that is Kitty Pryde.
Her head phases the sheet with easy and she looks bemused. "Aw, don´t mention. I hate class." she pouts at the cat that does chuckle (on the corner of his mind he knows this chuckle resembles a bit of his patron and he has mixed feelings about it) and jumps to her bed with easy. Kitten continues to pout.
"Don´t you have a mission for me?" she asked hopefully and the cat shakes his head amused. Kitty is not fond of school, even though, she has higher scores (Jupiter does not understand school and humanity, but, he prefer to die than confess this)
She sighs tiredly. "Fine, guess I have to do something" and by that, it translates to her turn on the TV. Jupiter is here almost a year now and saw other children (hybrids fish people that only Dagon loves) usually sleep by now.
Jupiter knows her parents are sleeping, well, Jupiter is aware that tonight is one of those nights where they will sleep much later, but, they will sleep. Now Kity? when has Kitty sleep...for real?
"Kitten, you can´t sleep? Nightmares? wet-dreams?" Jupiter asked enthusiastically as the elderly cat did speak how puberty and humans are an odd case and he wants to prove the ancient one wrong.
Kitty blinks at him. For a moment the stare makes him remember of something ancient, something divine and something above all else all and Jupiter stops smiling as he recalls all the names of the divinities, however, as Kitty giggles at his face, the names fade from his mind.
"Silly Jupiter is not a nightmare and not wet-dreams" Kitty speaks amused now and gesture to Jupiter to come closer and soon the cat is in her lap getting caress in his little head with one of Kitty´s finger. "I have insomnia" she explains and the word seems alien to Jupiter.
"Insomnia?" Jupiter asked and open one of his eyes to see Kitty levitating a bottle of pills on the top of her desk.
"Insomnia is when a human can´t sleep. I have this" and proceed to give the clinical term of her insomnia. A complex name that neither Jupiter or Kitty seems to care. "usually someone with insomnia has to take those pills to sleep, but, since you reveal your secret to me...I´ll reveal one of mine"
And Jupiter looks at her now. Watching her smile and the names of divinities are flashing through his mind. Again. "I don´t need to sleep" and deliver that line as if is nothing else.
There are no bags under her eyes. There´s no indication of deterioration of her body and her mind is sane enough, yet, she delivers something so chilling.
"But...everyone needs to sleep?"
"Not me, silly cat, not me"
And Jupiter knows he´ll have to take a visit to the ancient cat again to understand this.

(present)
On the Central of power of Vala, Supreme is a babble of tentacles that relies on her tentacles and manipulations to appear with a solid form to her soldiers.
"With the death of the Inhumans, we must act quickly, now, quicker as IT is presented. We must gather more soldiers to Vala" Supreme speaks to the group in front of her bowing and waiting for her exact orders.
"Minerva rise" Supreme orders with this solid image that Minerva seems to adore so much. "I have a mission for you. Go to Earth, investigate the planet, select those you think that can help on our glory, take their resources and most important, Minerva, stay away from IT"
Minerva nods, but, for once in her life she asked something back. She dares to counter-asked. "And what about Captain Marvel, the traitor?"
"She means nothing compared to IT. Stay away from the X-men and just do what I say, Minerva, and we´ll get the glory for Vala"
"For the glory of Vala," Minerva said and the rest of the team follow suit. Supreme gave them orders too. To contact their allies and to avoid the wrath of IT and Pheonix.
For the glory of Vala.
For the glory of Vala she will overcome Zaorva. She´s larger than life. She´ll be better than Zaorva could ever hope to be.

(Avengers` headquarters)
The situation in regards the Inhumans grant no favour for the X-men as they view the group as a ticking bomb ready to set any giving moment and right now, as Pietro mourns for the loss of his wife, they are talking about the death/destruction of the Inhumans. Only the big pug was spared and Luna as she´s not a pure Inhuman (which did generate conflict as the Inhumans believe the eugenics is all that matters)
Wanda and Lorna are consoling their brother as Tony is talking about the situation. "I´ve called to Scott Summers to explain what just happened and he refuses to answer. The X-men have some sort of back up plan and they can use whatever they want...I say we should do something"
"Nuke them?" Captain America asked. "If they have this power it will be pointless and soon they won´t see any reason to hear the law. We must think in a different strategy." then Captain American concludes. "They have a parasite called Pheonix that is an alien force with more power than we can imagine, nuke them won´t help"
More ideas are being thrown and one comment about a certain Inhuman was heard by Pietro. "Watch it. You´re talking about my wife!" his eyes have uncancelled anger.
"Your wife cheated on you since the first day. Why you care?"
"She´s the mother of my child...she was the mother of...Luna" and the realization left the anger go to give space to sadness. Wanda is not having any of this.
She uses her power to gain attention. Her scarlet flames silence everyone. "mind your tongue, Stark, I´ve no problem in cut it for you if you hurt my brother"
Tony is not that much of imbecile to fight her. So, he tries a different strategy. "I´m sorry, is just the situation is awful, the X-men have these weapons and we have nothing...how can you be sure they aren´t ready to kill us?"
"I don´t know...I really don´t, but, whatever it may happen. I stay with my family" she promised looking at Pietro and Lorna.

Kitty is resting on his naked form. letting her finger venture to his form, to each little space she can find to her heart content. Her doe eyes are in concentration as she´s feeling the fur, yet, she´s looking at his eyes. Closed.
Until is not. "You...don´t need to sleep?" his question is full of doubt and interest lace in one go.
"Not really. You do?"
"How do you think I craft the Dreamlands?"
"Duh, with your will-power"
(LK will remember this moment too and make many questions to the Eternity and her eternal wakeness)

The X-men did contact Kitty Pryde several times for some reason, yet, Kitty is too busy gazing with admiration to the garden before her. Cosmo is her guide and is being a very good boy to explain this location to her, well, no one needs to be a good boy to explain a place she knows so deeply.
"This...is the garden of the infinity"
"Oh...you know, humans usually call this place garden of Eden, but, this is the correct name"
"Zaorva is here?"
"Zaorva is coming, my dear, she is always here"
"That´s good"
"It is"
