《Multiverse of Marvel》95. Jealousy
Advertisement
"Yes Sir, I am Sersi." the woman said pointing to the name badge on her chest. "I am the guide here. Please follow me." John and Emma followed her as explained different artifacts around. They went around while John closely listened to Sersi and looked at her from time to time, trying to find out if she really was an 'android' or was it just a sham by Arishem to fool Sersi.
Because Eros was the supposed brother of Thanos, was also an eternal. If eternals were really androids then they wouldn't have been able to procreate. And in comics eternals were able to procreate so John didn't understand why Arishem showed Sersi that she was just an android.
As they were walking around they came upon a rusted war hammer. John's eyes instantly lit up. Sersi proceeded to say "... this is a war hammer from Benin. I suppose it's from the Fula tribe..".
"Miss Sersi, I think we both know that this artifact isn't from Benin." John said.
"I don't understand. What do you mean?" Sersi said with a little bit of apprehension and curiosity. She also knew that this was an artifact from Wakanda made of vibranium. But she couldn't say it as the officials will not leave this piece here and rather use it for their own purposes. Every bit of vibranium was very costly in the market and nobody would let go such a good sized piece.
"It's from Wakanda, made of vibranium. Isn't it?" Sersi knew that the real identity of the artifact was up in the air but she couldn't do anything about it. Even though vibranium was very rare in the market, many people knew of it's existence.
"Yes it is from Wakanda." Sersi admitted. "Do you want to mention this to the authorities?"

"Why would I do that? Let it be here. Vibranium doesn't really interest me." John said and proceeded to see the next exhibition. Sersi was surprised by such nonchalance for such high priced artifact but was grateful for that.
Emma who was listening to their conversation was little confused but didn't poke her nose in it as she could see there was an interest of John in Sersi. She was sure it wasn't romantic from his eyes but she was still curious of a woman who could raise such eye brows of John.
Being with John for such a long time Emma knew that John never showed any interest to any woman up till now so she knew that there must be something interesting in Sersi. And the topic of vibranium interested her too. After an hour of tour John finally came out of the Museum.
"Miss Sersi, I am John Jameson. I suppose you know my identity. If you find any difficulties in the future, you can always call my manager in the company directly." John said while bringing out the office card and gave to her.
Sersi was surprised because John and Emma had been wearing breathing masks and hats to cover their appearance. For this reason they weren't recognized in public. She did know John as he was famous recently for the superhero movies but never expected him to be here.
"Thank you Mr. Jameson. I would surely contact you if I encounter any difficulty. As of now I really like working in the museum." Sersi said bit still took the card. John and Emma left after that.
John and Emma while going back in the car could see Emma eyeing him so he said "Spill it out. I know you have questions."
"Who was she? Another dream girl of yours?" Emma said with a taunt because John always mentioned Emma as his dream girl.

"Huh! No.. Of course not. She is just special in her own way." John said.
"Special? Like a 'dating material' special?" Emma said with a hint of a jealousy.
"Do you think I can date a thousands of years old woman?" John replied back. John was happy that Emma showed a hint of jealousy. He loved that feeling.
"What? Thousand year old woman? Are you sick? She doesn't even look more than 40." Emma said.
"She is thousands of years old Emma. She was present when mankind took it's first step towards a modern society." John said.
"What? Are you serious? Oh my god!! How does she look the same after all these years? How is she alive?" Emma was astonished but believed John's words as by now she understood there were extraordinary people around.
"She is alive for various reasons but don't ask me more about it. The knowledge associated with her existence is very dangerous. We aren't powerful enough to confront them yet." John said with a solemn expression. He didn't know if Arishem could see his existence but he didn't want to take any risk by exposing Arishem to anyone.
Emma for the first time saw a hint of fear in John's eyes. John was always nonchalant about most of the things. Even in New York war he didn't show much care. But this woman's history actually gave apprehension to John. This surprised Emma but understood that she shouldn't ask more. Sometimes ignorance was bliss.
