Dark Elves Ship
3rd PoV:

"Heal. You will need your strength to reclaim the Aether." Kurse says to Malakith as he is attached to a mechanism. "And when you wake, we will kill them all." Kurse adds before walking away.
(Kurse is the monster that attacked Stiles in the last chapter. Just thought I would clear that up.)

Kurse approaches Stiles' cell. As he unbolts the door, he is greeted to an almost empty room, all thats there is Stiles' body. Chains wrapped around his wrists and ankles as he is left dangling from the ceiling.

Blood dripping from his forehead and chest, boot prints embedded on his chest and ribs. The room full of light so he can't shadow travel. His armour and weapon in a vault outside of his cell.

Kurse walks towards a limp Stiles and simply smacks him across the face, waking him up. "Ready to try again, insect." He taunts, scraping the sword like tusks ,that come from his wrists, across Stiles' chest.

"Give this insect 5 minutes unchained with your ugly ass and we will see who wins." Stiles smirked. He had a plan, he just had to hope his Brother was as predictable as Stiles thought he was.

All he had to do was keep getting Kurse angrier and angrier each time he visited, and so far his plan seemed to be working because Kurse's reply to Stiles' comment was too stab Stiles in the torso and twist it.

Stiles screamed out in pain which only motivated Kurse to continue.

Asgard

Red. Thats all Jane could see. Visions of the Aether clouded her mind. Asgard engulfed by the thing inside of her veins. As the visions subsided, Janes eyes were pitch black.

"Jane Foster!" Tyr shouted as he entered the room. Interrupting Jane's vision and bringing her back to reality. "You need to come with us." He ordered.

Odin, Fandrall, Volstagg and a couple Asgardian soldiers surrounded a table with a holographic image of Asgard.

"We are still unable to restore the palace shields. Our artillery cannot detect them. Even Heimdall cannot see them. My king, we are all but defenceless." Fandrall informs the group before turning to Odin.

Odin is silent for a moment before opening his mouth to speak, only to be interrupted by Thor. "She's your prisoner now?" He questions.

Odin turns to his son before turning away. "Leave us." Thor tells the rest. They bow to their king before dismissing themselves.

"I do not wish to fight with you." Odin states walking down the steps towards Thor. "Nor I with you." Thor tells his father as Odin walks past Thor.

"But I intend to pursue Malekith." Thor states. "We possess the Aether." Odin says calmly. "Yes but Malekith possesses my brother, your son." Thor snaps back.

"Stiles is smart enough and strong enough to survive on his own. Malekith will come to us seeking the Aether." Odin replies his voice raising slightly at the mention of his youngest.

"Yes, and he will destroy us." Thor states. "You overestimate the power of these creatures." Odin tells him, his back still facing towards his son.

"No, I value our people lives. I'll take Jane to the Dark World, and draw the enemy away from Asgard. When Malekith pulls the Aether from Jane, it will be exposed and vulnerable. And I will destroy it and him." Thor explains his plans.

"If you fail, you risk this weapon falling into the hands of our enemies." Odin replies. "The risk is far greater if we do nothing. His ship could be over our heads right now, we would never even know it." Thor shoots back.
