The next day, Valkyrie and Regina came to the room. "Anger girl", Hulk said.
Regina smiled as Valkyrie and Hulk playfully fight. Her smile faded when she saw Thor. Regina cleared her throat. Valkyrie looked at Thor. Peyton stood next to him.
"You're so thick-headed that you can't tell when someone's hiding all the way across the universe and wants to be left alone", Valkyrie said.
"We need to talk", Thor said.
"No, you want to talk to us", Regina said. She and Valkyrie walked towards the exit. Bella stood in front of them.
"This is more important than you think. At least hear what he has to say", Bella said.
"Alright", Valkyrie said. She and Regina walked towards Thor and Peyton. Regina and Valkyrie grabbed a large bottle of wine.
Bella walked towards Lavinia and Hulk. Hulk threw a red ball to Bella. Bella threw it to Lavinia. Lavinia threw it to the Hulk.
"We'll listen to you till these are empty", Valkyrie said. She and Regina began to chug the wine.
"Asgard is in danger and people are dying. We need to get back there. I need yours and Regina's help-", Thor said. Valkyrie and Regina finished the wine.
"Damn", Peyton.
"Finished. Bye", Regina said. She and Valkyrie walked away.
"Odin is dead", Thor said. They both stopped walking. Regina was the first to turn around.
"What? Father is dead?" Regina asked.
"I'm afraid so, Sister", Thor said. Peyton looked at him in shock. Regina is Thor and Loki's sister?! "Hela, the Goddess of Death, has invaded Asgard".
"If Hela's back, then Asgard's already lost", Valkyrie said.
"I'm going to stop her", Thor said.
"Alone?" Regina asked.
"No, we're putting together a team. You two, me, Peyton, my nieces and the big guy", Thor said. Peyton nodded.
"No. No team. Only Hulk", Hulk said. Hulk threw the ball to Bella. Bella was knocked onto the ground.
"Me, you two, Peyton and the girls",Thor said.
"I think it's only you, your girlfriend and your nieces", Valkyrie said.
"Wait. Just listen. The Valkyrie are legend. Elite warriors of Asgard sworn to defend the throne".
"I'm not getting dragged into another one of Odin's family squabbles".
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Your sister. Her power comes from Asgard, same as yours. When it grew beyond Odin's control, she massacred everyone in the palace and tried to seize the throne. When she tried to escape her banishment, he sent the Valkyrie in to fight her back. I only survived because...look, I already faced her once, back when I believed in the throne and it cost me everything. That's what's wrong with Asgard. The throne, the secrets, the whole golden sham", Valkyrie said.
"I agree", Thor said. He grabbed her arm as she tried to turn and leave. She pointed a dagger at him.
"Don't get familiar", Valkyrie said.
"I agree", Thor said as he lowered her dagger. Valkyrie pointed another dagger at him. "That's why I turned down the throne. But this isn't about the crown. This is about the people. They're dying and they're your people too".
"Regina", Peyton said. "That's your home too. You can't let this happen".
"I'm sorry. Defeating Hela, it's impossible", Regina said.
