...Sowhere…
A man in an orange jumpsuit huddled in a corridor filled with smoke and gas. A figure wearing a hood and a plague doctor mask walked past, mumbling sothing about a 1 4 antidote.
...Sowhere else…
A woman fled from a floating black-and-white mask on an infinite staircase. But she could not escape the death that followed.
...Elsewhere…
A man sat in front of a computer displaying a black-and-red world map. He watched in silence as the Yellowstone Park icon changed from red to black.
Imdiately following—
The live broadcast room fell into eerie silence, as if ti itself had paused.
Everyone was stunned.
Then, chaos erupted—a tsunami of panic and confusion.
"Dead! They're all dead?!"
"WTF? What the hell is going on?!"
"Did the entire site just get breached?"
"This is a nightmare... This is hell... It's horrifying…"
"Wait—is that guy with the worm in his eye the sa Agent Fredrickson? Didn't they escape earlier?"
"Forget that! What happened to Jas?!"
S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters
Everyone—executives and agents alike—stared at the screen in horror.
"Zoom in! Play it again!" Nick Fury barked.
Maria Hill rewound the footage, focusing on the pair of ghostly hands that had suddenly appeared behind Jas. Fury's face darkened.
Jas... dead?
Just as everyone was bracing for the worst, the screen flickered—and the scene changed again!
It was the sa location.
But now, devastation surrounded them. The violent explosion had left everything in ruins.
Cain gently laid Adrian's bleeding body beside his unconscious lover, then turned and walked through the steel door...
...into the Flower Room.
And there He was—waiting.
Shining in His infinite hues, rainbow petals stretching through dinsions, rotating slowly in space, fading in and out of visibility.
The Cosmic Flower.
The heart of reality. The restart point of the universe. The mirror of eternity. The fruit of knowledge.
He had returned.
It had been so long since Cain last saw His brilliance.
And at that mont, the entire Marvel world fell into a dead, reverent silence.
The flower emitted a glow of law, a cosmic presence that transcended understanding. The sheer sight of it pulled at the soul—ti, beauty, and fate converged in this singular object.
No one needed an explanation.
No introductions, no backstory.
Everyone just knew.
The Flower.
The Flower that can restart the universe.
S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Is that… a flower?" Nick Fury murmured, pupils narrowing to a pinpoint.
His heart thundered in his chest. This was sothing beyond all reason.
He had never imagined such a cosmic artifact was in the Foundation's possession.
Stark Industries
Tony Stark was frozen.
Colonel Rhodes, beside him, was equally stunned.
Tony muttered, "Just how many secrets is the Foundation hiding…"
He had always dismissed the idea of "restarting the universe" as absurd fantasy.
Until now.
He realized…
He was wrong.
Kamar-Taj
As the Ancient One stared at the screen, a jolt ran through her entire being.
That Flower carried cosmic law.
Its energy far surpassed the Dark Dinsion's power.
Now, she understood why the Foundation—despite being composed of re mortals—could contain anomalies, deities, and existential threats.
SCP-2000 wasn't just a contingency plan.
It was a last resort, a divine tool of rebirth.
But then—just as countless eyes remained fixed on the screen, breathless—a sudden roar shattered the silence.
The broadcast returned to Cain.
He turned around, already knowing what he would see.
His brother.
The killer.
A man stood in the corridor, gripping a sword.
His body was covered in tattoos etched with ancient, esoteric symbols. His eyes were dead, cold, and empty.
It was 076-2.
Also known as—
Abel.
The audience froze in awe.
He had arrived.
But it didn't look like he was there to help the Foundation.
It looked like—
Revenge.
Cain spoke with a complex expression, "You're here… my brother, Abel."
The Chat Exploded
"Oh my God, are they really those Abel and Cain?"
"Wait… 073 and 076-2 are actual brothers?!"
"This is insane. Biblical figures are SCPs now?"
"My worldview is broken…"
Cain—the firstborn son of Adam and Eve. The one who killed his brother, Abel, out of jealousy.
God had warned him: "If you do well, will you not be accepted? But if not, sin lies at the door. It desires you, but you must rule over it…"
And now, history repeated itself on screen.
Cain extended his fire-and-steel hands.
Blue flas surged from his prosthetic limbs.
Buzz—
Energy crackled violently.
On the other side, Abel's demonic tattoos glowed scarlet with hellfire.
He took a step forward.
Then another.
And another.
The tension was unbearable.
A feud born at the dawn of ti was reaching its climax.
Their flas—blue and red—roared in sync, sonic booms rattling the screen.
It was the sound of annihilation.
They were about to clash.
S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Do not be like Cain, who was of the evil one and murdered his brother…" soone whispered, chanting scripture.
The energy was palpable.
Fury stared, eyes wide.
Then—sothing no one expected.
Cain… moved aside.
He bowed respectfully.
A gentleman's gesture. Not the mark of a killer.
Abel didn't even glance at him twice.
He walked past the Gate of Pearl and Fire and entered the Garden of Flowers.
His lifeless eyes observed the runes etched into the petals—deep and ancient.
Golden light burned atop transparent blossoms.
Then, Abel smiled cruelly.
He raised his sword above his head.
The blade burst from his fingertips, extending past the stars.
It absorbed all light—swallowing warmth, hope, and life.
Then—he struck.
The sword cut through the petals, piercing the heart of the Flower.
Ti froze.
S.H.I.E.L.D.
"He… destroyed it?" Fury gasped.
The Flower was gone.
Although Ten had warned them that the restart button had been corrupted by the broken tiline, they hadn't truly believed it would co to this.
Now it had.
And the world… changed.
A chaotic stream of mories began flashing on the screen.
The broadcast glitched and fragnted.
...Sowhere…
A man sat in front of a computer. The world map flickered—now black and white. A green icon marked "SCP-2000 Facility."
It had always been like this.
...Elsewhere…
A woman scread in a video, running down endless stairs.
SCP-087.
It had always been like this.
...Sowhere else…
Three D-class personnel in orange jumpsuits stared at a concrete corner. A creature lood. They didn't blink until guards sealed the room.
SCP-173.
It had always been like this.
...Elsewhere…
A perfectly grilled tenderloin was scanned. The source docunted. The observer muttered to himself.
SCP-006-FR.
It had always been like this.
...Sowhere…
A man edited a docunt on a screen. He deleted so text. Added more. Then clicked Save.
It had always been like this.
The livestream audience was stunned.
"Is this… the tiline repairing itself?"
"Are the lost SCPs returning?"
Only one person rembered everything.
Just like the fragnts scattered throughout the story.
Then—a cold voice echoed:
"We need to talk."
Suddenly, Ten stood silently before a massive forest of black spires.
Their tips pierced the earth, pointing toward the Yellowstone geyser.
The magma chamber stretched 130 square kiloters beneath.
The thorns stood silently,
Indestructible.
Black as void.
Swallowing every ray of light.
"Is this why you brought here?" one voice asked, cloaked in shadow.
Still obscured in darkness, the speaker couldn't be seen.
Ten nodded. "I have a few simple questions. I want simple answers."
He turned toward the figure, eyes sharp.
"How long has it been since the fall of the Daeva civilization?"
The figure hesitated. Frowned. Swallowed.
Ten continued, "Is SCP-343 a god?"
"Definitely…" the voice faltered.
And everyone watching felt it—
Sothing was wrong.
A strange, oppressive aura seeped from the screen.
Ten leaned in, whispering:
"What is SCP-001?"
Silence.
Then, Ten said what no one wanted to hear:
"TK-class scenario."
TK-Class Transformation of All Humanity Scenario
Tiline Collapse and Repair.
Like a shattered vase, the repaired tiline is no longer linear. Events occur out of order. So are forgotten. Others… never happened.
S.H.I.E.L.D.
Nick Fury's voice cracked. "So… the Flower was destroyed. The tiline isn't whole?"
"What exactly did people forget…?"
Was the world truly saved?
Did the Foundation succeed?
No one knows.
Not even the Foundation.
The tiline is broken.
Reality is flawed.
Maybe a new anomaly has already erged.
Maybe it's watching now.
Maybe it's you.
Because this is a silent apocalypse.
Invisible.
Inevitable.
Unstoppable.
It has always been like this.
