"Despite the Foundation being less than reputable in handling those D class personnel, their agents truly hold what's best for humanity at heart". The Ancient One stared at the light curtain, letting out a sigh.
The ideal of protecting humanity that the foundation embodies is what she strived for her whole life. Karma-Taj and all its mages exist for this very reason. And now, seeing the actions of this foundation agent, she thought to herself: "Perhaps in another life, I would've loved to join the foundation in its endeavours".
On the Internet, many people were awed by this Foundation Agent. Their blood boiled seeing him manage to stop a God, even if temporary.
....
"Holy shit!... he dared to face a God who destroyed the world with a mere gun"? Hahaha, this Agent is my new idol"!
"I don't know why, but seeing the actions of this Agent made my human pride shoot up the roof"!
"Is this the determination of the Foundation's Agents? Such courage…I'm impressed"!
"Incredible! Some of the paragraphs in this report showed that he'd been affected by those holy tears, yet he was still determined to stop that God from reaching his world"!
"We secure, we contain, we protect"! "The Foundation truly embodies these words"!
"What I really admire is that the Agent didn't leave his name in this report, it goes to show that any agent of the foundation is capable of making such sacrifices". "I salute you, unnamed Agent"!
"..."
The people watching the live broadcast went from not fully believing in the foundation and its so-called anomalies, to now having nothing but admiration for the Foundation. Some were even inspired to join the foundation, or find similar works where they can also protect humanity.
.....
SHIELD Headquarters.
Whether it's the SHIELD Agents, or the HYDRA under-covers, they all fell into silence. No matter if their goals are to protect humanity or to bring the world under the rule of HYDRA, they all agreed that being in this line of work, you'd need the willpower and courage to reach your ideals.
So, seeing this Agent's sacrifice to stop this 'God' from reaching his, or any other world, everyone truly admired him for it.
SHIELD was established for almost the same reason as the Foundation, albeit a little more political. But, these SHIELD agents, besides the few HYDRA under-covers, have the goal of protecting the world. Even so, they thought to themselves. If they were in the same situation as this Foundation agent, and their cognition was polluted. Would they be brave enough to face a God?
Nick Fury's eyes were fixed on the light curtain, deep in thought...
"Does such a person truly exist"? "SCP Foundation…what an incredible organization". "If all the agents of the foundation are as strong willed and brave as this one, then the earth is quite lucky to have such people protecting it from these weird anomalies"!
While Nick Fury was thinking, an Agent suddenly noticed something on the light curtain: "Wait a minute...What is Stark trying to do"?
Nick Fury heard the Agent's words and turned to look at the light curtain. With an exasperated look on his face, he said. "Is this guy brainwashed or something? Why is he suddenly so eager to confront that God"?
On the light curtain——
After Tony finished reading the Report log, he fell into deep thought. Comparing his life to this single moment of courage from this foundation agent, he felt as though his life was meaningless. Even more so now, after he'd been kidnapped and found out that his weapons were being used by terrorists.
But now, he found a purpose. Maybe he could make up for his mistakes by stopping this anomaly permanently.
"This agent…. What an incredible guy. But don't worry, I'll try to finish what you started".
Tony searched for any information on this 'God' through the computer, but couldn't find anything.
"Perhaps I should find a way to destroy those other Red Sea Objects. They seem to be the source of everything". He looked down at the one in his hand, hesitating for a bit.
"I'll start with the other ones, then I can destroy this one when I'm on the other side of the mirror". Tony completely forgot about the dangers that came with this, and was only excited to stop a world ending crisis by himself.
He turned to look at the computer again, fixing the camera's angle. "Good, it works". Tony decided to leave his own record here, but unlike the agent, he wanted anyone who ended up here and came across this computer to see his face. So, he decided to make it a video record.
"Ahem…My name is Tony Star"...
"Click"!
Before he could finish his sentence, he heard the sound of a photo click. Then, a picture appeared on his computer screen, which made his blood run cold.
In the picture, there was a vague shadowy figure standing behind him!
"Fuck! Who's there"! Tony turned around and exclaimed! But, there was nothing there. It made him even more terrified. He kept looking back and forth between the picture on the computer screen, and behind him.
....
On the Internet...
"Damn! What is that thing in the picture? A ghost"?
"We've seen so many weird anomalies, and you're surprised by a ghost"?
"Hahaha! I thought Tony Stark was gonna do something brave like that foundation agent, but now he looks so cowardly".
"Wait a minute! What if that shadowy figure is the soul of that dead agent"?
"...."
...
Kamar-Taj.
"Well". The Ancient One covered her smile with a fan.
Although Stark seems a little jumpy and fearful now, she knows he'll become a great hero who saves the universe in the future. He only lacks experience, he has enough courage and wisdom to turn around an impossible situation.
But now that this SCP foundation and these anomalies appeared, his destiny might diverge. The ancient one let out a sigh: "I hope the appearance of these anomalies don't alter the timeline too much. If so, the future will be unpredictable, and the universe will fall into chaos".
...
On the other side of the mirror, in the alternate reality.
"Huu! Huu! Huu"!
Tony let out a few breaths to calm himself, dispelling the fear he felt. He looked at the blurry figure that was behind him in the picture, but after a while, he decided to continue recording his video.
Before he could hit record, the room suddenly went dark.
He looked at the only source of light which was the window, and saw a huge rotten head without any facial features blocking the entire window. Although this creature had no eyes, Tony could clearly feel it watching him!
His hair stood on ends and he felt an extreme fear sweep through his body.
Without any hesitation, Tony held the Red Sea object tightly in his grasp and frantically fled towards the direction of the mirror he came through.
