The group sat around a large dinning table. The room was filled with many tables, but they were at the largest one. This table only consisted of Hela, Frigga, Odin, Sylvie, and the main party.

The food was served by servants under Odin. Different foods of all sorts sat on the table, especially meat. There were lots of meat types.

Small bowls of fruit sat at each person's spot, and Wanda and Strange learned that those were the desert trays and to not touch until Odin said it was clear to.

Loki sat next to Wanda, his eyes passing from Odin to Frigga, unsure how to feel. Both were dead according to TVA standards, and this would probably be his last time seeing either, and they didn't even know who he was.

Wanda noticed his worry, and she put a hand on his thigh, squeezing it gently to remind him that she was there, he wasn't alone.

Odin wasn't too talkative, but when he did talk, his voice boomed and the Midguardians had to refrain from flinching or covering their ears.

"So, what is this news that you bring us? You require the gauntlet back?" Odin asked, directing his question at Sylvie.

"Yes, there is an evil man on Midgard and he wants the gauntlet so that he can build an army and take over the timeline." Sylvie recapped.

"It would be helpful if some of the Asgardian army could assist us." Strange mumbled, and Sylvie added it to her previous statement.

"No. Midgardian problems can be solved in Midgardian ways. We have no reason to venture across time. Find me in the future and perhaps I will agree then." Odin stated.

Loki resisted the urge to say, too bad you're dead in the future Old Man. Luckily he managed to keep his tongue in his mouth.

He wondered who ruled Asgard in the future after the Thanos situation. It could be Thor, but something told him it wasn't. Thor liked Midgard to much to leave it for a destroyed castle.

"Odin, it wouldn't be such a bad idea to help them." Frigga suggested, her voice calm in opposition to Odin practically shouting.

"What I've said it final. We let these outsiders into our home and have them a feast. We don't need to give them any more until they show us that they deserve it." Odin stated, glaring at the queen.

Hela rolled her eyes, careful to not let Odin see the gesture.

The rest of supper passed by quickly, the halls loud with the sounds of roudy Asgardians. Occasionally there would be some chatter between Hela and Sylvie, but the party mostly stayed quiet.

Strange had a steady glare at Wanda and Loki, and from what Wanda could read in his mind, he was not unkind word happy with them unkind word running off together and unkind word taking the Tempad with them.

He was also very unkind word unhappy that Wanda was reading his mind.

Afterwards, they were lead towards the exit of the castle by Frigga, and Hela was sent to her room since Odin didn't approve of her joining the group.

Frigga handed Sylvie the gauntlet that she'd gotten from their souvenir chamber.

"Take care of it and be careful. Visit me after the fight, please." She said, looking at Sylvie like she was her daughter. In another universe, she was.

"We will. Goodbye." Sylvie said with a nod to the queen.

The group began walking away from the castle since Sylvie told them not to open a time door yet.

"Why not? We're wasting time standing around." Strange replied, annoyed at Sylvie's bossy attitude.

"Just give her a minute." Sylvie replied, glaring at the man.
