PART 3
Chapter 3x11: The Guardian Of Time
Earth-100792
The day after the dinner Arash was spending the day out with his friends giving Peter, Eddie, Felicia and Thor a tour around the nicest places in Persia with the help of Farah who tagged along as their tour guide providing some information about the places, even the King knew some of the information but it was hard to keep track on all the history surrounding Persia, but there was a part of the tour were he felt very handy with his information and that as when they got to shop for outfits for his party.
"Ok, what about this one" – said Felicia showing a new dress to the group
"Seems nice" – said Peter uninterested while laying down upside down on a couch
"Come on guys, I need a better opinion" – whined Felicia
"You are beautiful babe, you look good in anything you choose" – said Eddie
"I didn't ask if I was beautiful Eddie" – complained Felicia rolling her eyes
"Wow, that's a beautiful dress" – said Farah getting out trying another outfit as well
"Thank you" – said Felicia smiling before turning to the guys with an annoyed look – "see guys? That's an opinion" – she said before getting inside the changing room again
"Is she gonna try another outfit?" – complained Peter to Eddie
"Most likely" – said Eddie
"But that was like her 8th outfit" – whined Peter
"What can I say...women" – said Eddie when Farah cleared her throat making him turn to look at the Persian girl who stared at him with her arms crossed and an eyebrow arched – "ok, her then, not women in general" – he corrected
"You guys still here?" – asked Arash walking to where the group was with Thor following carrying like 10 bags belonging to the King
"Yeah" – said Peter and Eddie at the same time in a monotonous tone
"If you guys take too long we will not make it to the museum and also will not have time to buy your own outfit" – said Arash
"Did you buy yours Cat?" – Asked Peter
"Yes I did and no, you aren't gonna see it until the day of the party" – said Arash with a smirk while Peter rolled his eyes before turning to look at his secretary – "you look nice Farah, I think that's the winner" – he compliment
"I know" – said Farah smirking at him through her reflection on the mirror
"Can you please go and help Felicia so we move quickly?" – asked Arash annoyed
"Sure" – said Farah walking to the changing room
The Persian girl did helped the blond to choose a dress without showing it to the guys, she wanted to surprise Eddie with her choice, once they were out the store they still have time to buy for Peter and Eddie, but both said they could come ant another time as they were tired of seeing clothes and preferred to go to the museum, so that's where they were.
"So these are like the actual army of "The Immortals"?" – asked Peter
"Yep, this are the real deal" – said Farah showing them a painting – "well the initiative of Prince Ervin are the real deal too, just a little more rusty but they are on their way" – she added
"I thought the "300" was just a comic book/a movie" – said Eddie
"Well maybe it's not all in the same way, but part of it is true history and related to Persian history too" – said Farah
"Babe?" – called out Thor gaining the attention of the group who turned to see that Arash was standing on another part of the exhibition looking at a painting
The painting had dark figure with horns, claws and golden eyes, he was surrounded by a golden storm and bricks around him like he just destroyed something on his way, it looked like some sort of demon or spirit, the Persian boy was staring at the eyes of the figure even he wanted to look away he couldn't, there was something that make him feel curious and disturbed about it, he feel his whole body shake lightly, his ring flickered and his breathing was uneven.
"Cat, are you ok?" - Asked Peter concerned as he got close with the rest of the group
"Yeah...just...I don't remember this one" - said Arash with his breathing shaking
"The Guardian of Time" - said Farah
"What?" - asked Eddie confused
"Is the name of the painting" - said Farah signaling under the painting
"Who is the artist?" - asked Arash still confused
"No one knows, is scratched where the name is supposed to be, so the author is being a mystery" – explained Farah
"Well, that thing doesn't look very "guardian" like" - said Eddie
"Yeah" - said Arash who gave the painting another look before turning away - "well, we should go" - he said before walking away
Peter looked between the painting and the King before following him with everybody who also turned to give the painting another look as well before turning back to look at the King with different looks between confuse and concern
"That was so much fun guys" – stated Felicia smiling
"Define fun" – complained Eddie arching an eyebrow and his girlfriend just pushed him lightly making him smirk about it
"You been awfully quiet after the museum visit" - said Peter to the Persian boy as they walked back inside the royal building
"Yes, I'm okay, whatever" - said Arash in an annoyed tone
"I'm just concerned...sorry" - said Peter a little deflated sitting next to Arash on the bed
"I'm sorry, it's just a weird headache ever since I watched that painting" - said Arash
"Are you sure you are okay?" – Asked Thor concerned as well
"Can everybody stop asking me that as if I'm breakable after what happened?" - said Arash a little angry
"Rude" – said Felicia
"Don't get on my nerves, if you are gonna be part of the group that's something you should remember, no one gets on my nerves" – sad Arash
"Hey, Arash, calm down, don't talk to her like that" – defended Eddie
"Or what?" – asked Arash stepping in front of Eddie with his eyes glowing
"Wow, guys slow down" – said Farah stepping between them
"NO! Everybody slow-...agh!" – tried to say Arash before getting cut off by a big headache with his eyes glowing and everything around him froze
Then it hit him like a train: he heard a man screaming and then a woman or a girl, both of them sounded in pain, he saw Zagros surrounded by a dark golden aura and a gray sky like it was about to rain but it didn't, a bunch of people with smoke coming from them and their eyes were glowing while they grunted, he heard people screaming before he saw a black figure, he couldn't see its face, then the figure smirked and opened its eyes with a light flashing from it blinding Arash.
Before he knew it Arash yelled while falling on his knees making a wave of energy expand from him making everything go back to normal but pushing everybody around him away from him and everything turned into slow motion and the King opened his eyes looking around what he was doing feeling confused and scared.
"You want all go back to normal?" – asked a voice
"Yes...yes I want it all back to normal" – said Arash
The powers of the King activated and another wave of energy expanded from his body going all around and making everything start to rewind, everybody that was pushed by the wave of energy go back to where they were before, then he was back at arguing with Eddie, then he was back at brushing off Peter and finally he was at the door of the royal building, everything was freeze on time while his body disintegrated and merged with the Arash entering the building.
The Persian boy gasped surprised when he realized he was back in his body and looked around confused of what just happened, it was like he was back at the battlefield fighting with Thanos avoiding for him to use the gauntlet again and also there was that voice again, but he didn't care he was out of trouble again, so he unfreeze time and decided to act as nothing happened.
"That was so much fun guys" – stated Felicia smiling
"Define fun" – complained Eddie arching an eyebrow and his girlfriend just pushed him lightly making him smirk about it
"You been awfully quiet after the museum visit" - said Peter to the Persian boy as they walked back inside the royal building
"Yeah...just going through all the things I have to get ready for the party" – lied Arash
"If you already have ideas, I can write them down, just talk" – said Farah
"I need to organize my head a little, so maybe we meet up about it later" – said Arash
"Can we eat? I'm hungry" – said Thor making Farah nag him about how they just ate 1 hour ago and he couldn't possibly still hungry
Arash keep going through his head but not about the party but about what just happened, the voice, the rewind and more important his vision, he knew whatever he saw was a vision just like the one he saw before that warned him about Tony, something was up with him and even if it have helped him so far, he wondered if this was good.
A/N: Premotion and rewind all at once guys, our boy have gotten powerful...but maybe too much to handle as well? You guys decide tht one.
