Speed is a game which was played by Ikaris and Sersi.
Background[]
Ten Eternals were sent to Earth to protect humans from Deviants. Two of the Eternals, Sersi and Ikaris, took a liking to each other quickly and soon developed a romantic relationship while they were working to protect Earth. They moved from place to place, and got married while they were in India together. Eventually, the Eternals agreed to part ways[1] under the orders of the Celestials.[2] Ikaris and Sersi stayed together, enjoying each others' presence.[1]
Game[]
Sersi and Ikaris decided to play a game of speed, briefly taunting each other before Ikaris counted down to start the game. The pair ran through a forest, and Sersi instantly transformed trees into statues of their friends. One of the statues toppled over, causing the others to fall. Ikaris saw this and used his powers to stand them back up before they could completely fall. Sersi turned a large redwood tree into a statue of Ikaris, which fell and nearly crushed Ikaris. However, Sersi stopped the statue from falling by turning it into a bunch of feathers.[3]
Aftermath[]
Sersi collected some of the feathers and turned them into a second-place trophy for Ikaris. The two laughed and then flew away together for their next adventure.[3] The pair continued to date until years later, when the guilt over not being able to tell Sersi the truth about their mission to cause an Emergence overcame Ikaris, prompting him to break up with her.[1]
