Javier Sánchez, still in his immortal Eternal form, had roamed the Earth for hundreds of thousands of years alongside his fellow Eternals. He had not yet fulfilled his promise to Elena, to be reborn as her descendant, but his purpose remained firm: to guide humanity and subtly mold its fate while concealing his deeper plans. The promise lingered in his mind—a solemn oath to a woman who had seen him not as a god, but as something more personal.
As the Eternals settled into their roles as humanity's protectors, Javier found himself navigating the complexities of their mission, his manipulations, and his emotional bonds with his companions.

During one of their journeys across the Fertile Crescent, Javier stumbled upon a strange anomaly buried deep within the Earth. A unique energy signature emanated from the molten core of a volcano. Intrigued, he ventured alone into the blazing inferno, using his glitch-based abilities to phase through the molten rock.
The energy interacted with his powers, destabilizing his molecular structure briefly before merging with him. Using his mastery over manipulation, Javier harnessed the energy to create something new: a metal forged on the quantum level, resistant to all forms of external interference.
He called it Infinitium.
This metal was indestructible, impervious to fire, space, and even the forces of time. The only entity capable of interacting with it freely was his raven, which had been created with a fragment of his own essence. Infinitium's properties extended beyond its physical durability—it resonated with Javier's powers, allowing him to imbue objects forged from it with unique abilities.

One evening, while the Eternals camped near the Tigris River, Sersi approached Javier. Her eyes were curious, but her tone carried a hint of jealousy, as always.
"You've been distant, Javier. Always working on your 'projects.' What is it this time?"
Javier held up a small shard of Infinitium, the surface shimmering with an unearthly glow. "This. It's not just a metal; it's a foundation for the future."
"Future?" Sersi raised an eyebrow. "What future? Humanity isn't even ready to comprehend fire properly, and you're talking about metals beyond our understanding."
Javier's gaze softened. "They will be ready. One day, they'll need this to survive threats beyond what even the Deviants could bring."
Gilgamesh joined them, his massive frame silhouetted against the firelight. "You think too far ahead, Javier. The Celestials gave us one task: protect humanity. Not alter its course."
"I am protecting them," Javier replied calmly. "Just... in ways you cannot see yet."
Druig smirked from the shadows. "Always the mysterious one, aren't you, Javier? But tell me, do you ever wonder if they'll worship you instead of the Celestials?"
Javier's raven cawed from its perch, its golden feathers glowing faintly. "Let them worship what they will. I care for their survival, not their adoration."

Forging a Legacy
Over the centuries, Javier began using Infinitium to craft tools, weapons, and structures. He left them hidden across the globe, knowing that humanity would one day uncover them when they were ready. These artifacts became the stuff of legend, whispered of in ancient texts and later revered as relics of divine origin.
One day, Makkari discovered a fragment of Infinitium in one of Javier's workshops. "This metal," she said, running her fingers over its smooth surface. "It's alive. I can feel it."
"It's not alive," Javier corrected. "But it remembers. Every action, every intent—it stores it all."
Makkari looked at him, her eyes wide. "What happens if someone with the wrong intent wields it?"
"They may be able to. It will judge if they are worth of it or not ."

As the years passed, Javier's relationships with the other Eternals grew deeper and more complex. Sersi's jealousy simmered beneath her usual warmth, especially as Javier grew closer to others like Thena and Makkari. Druig remained skeptical of his motives, often challenging him in subtle ways.
One day, as they stood atop a hill overlooking a growing human settlement, Ajak confronted Javier.
"You're playing a dangerous game, Javier," she said. "Infinitium, the raven, your constant tinkering... You're not just guiding humanity. You're shaping it."
Javier's gaze didn't waver. "And what of it? The Celestials gave us this power, but they didn't give us a guidebook. We must adapt."
"Adapt, yes. But you're interfering."
"I am ensuring their survival."
Ajak sighed. "Just remember, Javier. We're not gods. Not truly. And the moment you start believing you are, you'll lose sight of why we're here."

Late at night, Javier often found himself alone, speaking to his raven as if it were an old friend.
"I promised her," he murmured, holding a golden feather between his fingers. "I promised Elena I'd return to her line. But I've built so much here. I've created... life itself. How can I leave it all behind?"
The raven cawed softly, its glowing eyes filled with an almost knowing sympathy.
One evening, as he looked at the stars, he whispered to himself, "When the time comes, will they remember me as a savior? Or a manipulator?"
