Heart Attack

Chapter 5

"Right, yeah, yeah." I said, before letting my magic course through me, feeling the familiar tingling sensation as my body prepared to use it. Once it was ready, I aimed my fire towards the bridge, avoiding anyone who was fighting against the Draugr. After a moment, all the Draugr fell, and I smirked. Too bad they wouldn't stay dead. Which is what made this whole fight so much fun.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I dodged the Draugr's swing, and while underneath, I blasted the damn thing causing it to fly backwards. Before I could stand up, Loki had stuck his hand out, and helped me back up. I let out a sigh, seeing a mass of undead headed straight to us, and too annoyed to use this as training, I just used my magic to blast them, burning them to a crisp. Finally, we had a moment where we weren't fighting. We looked towards where Thor was, just to see that he was headed our way. We started making our way towards him, and when we got to him, we noticed Hela at the end of the bridge, walking towards us.

"You're both late." Thor muttered, and I rolled my eyes at his comment. I wonder why we were late... someone decided to stun their brother.

"You're missing an eye." Loki retorted, motioning to Thor's eye and I fought from rolling my eyes again. What was this? Be Captain Obvious while in a war? They needed to focus.

"It's not over yet boys." I interrupted before anymore ridiculous comments could be made, and I strolled past them towards Hela, my hands sparking. I haven't met her yet, and she already annoyed me. Huh.

"Right. Like you've been that helpful." Thor muttered, turning to follow me. I glanced over my shoulder giving him a warning look, and Loki sent a quick glare towards Thor as he followed us.

"Watch it, brother." Loki warned, quickly jumping to my defense which caused a small smile to make its way to my face. I noticed Valkyrie walking towards us, and she joined us as we stood, waiting for Hela, trying to figure out a plan.

"Hit her with a lightning blast." Loki said suddenly, and I gave him an incredulous look. Did he not see the giant lightning blast from earlier that was no doubt aimed towards Hela?

"I just hit her with the biggest lightning blast in the history of lightning. It did nothing." Thor all but shouted, and I sighed causing them to look at me. I met their gazes, before turning to Hela noticing her inching closer and closer. We didn't have time for this.

"So we keep her here, letting the others escape. Duh." I stated, my eyes narrowing as Hela locked eyes with me and me alone. I noticed her tilt her head, almost curiously, and I crossed my arms with a huff. I didn't want her curiosity.

"It won't end there." Thor said, snapping me back to our current conversation, and I raised an eyebrow at Thor.

"And why they hell not?" I stated, clearly already wanting this whole thing to be done with. This was becoming more troublesome than I signed up for, and I didn't want to continue anymore.

"The longer Hela is on Asgard, the more powerful she grows." Thor said, and it was quiet as we all processed that. So if we can't keep her here, what the hell are we going to do? Valkyrie asked the question that I had no doubt was on everyone's minds, and for once, none of us had a solution.

"I'm not doing get help." Loki said, looking from Hela to us and I couldn't help but laugh at that. As if we would do get help against his sister who was quite literally titled the Goddess of Death.

"Shame." I murmured, wishing I could witness that glorious event at least one more time, but I knew there was a time and place. This was neither of those.

"Asgard's not a place. It's a people." Thor muttered, and we all turned to look at him confused. Just where was he going with this?

"So what's the plan then, Thor?" I asked, sensing that he was formulating a plan, and from the look on his face, I had a feeling it was going to be a big one. Thor turned to Loki, giving him a knowing Loki. I glanced at Loki and saw his face fall slightly, probably getting where Thor was going with this.
