"Holy shh—" Hope quickly gets out of her car, followed by Josie.

They just arrived outside the diner where Jane told them they were located. They pass cars driving away in a hurry, people running the opposite direction. That's good, less people to either get hurt or witness anything supernatural.

They see Jane, Darcy, Erik, Thor, and now 4 new faces—they have to be Asgardians, but if Hope didn't know that she'd think they're really dedicated cosplayers.

Not only that, but more shockingly, there's a huge dark metal figure, obviously some sort of robotic weaponry, slowly making its way toward them, from a good distance away.

Hope and Josie run up to the group of scientists and Asgardians, "What the hell is that?"

Thor answers the Tribrid, "We call it the Destroyer."

"That sounds lovely," Josie says sarcastically.

Jane looks to Hope, "Thank you for coming so quickly, Hope. We could use your help, again."

That gets Thor's attention. He furrows his eyebrows, giving Hope a once-over, "You! You're the invisible girl?" He asks in disbelief.

Hope nods, "And you're the God of Thunder. Pleasure to finally officially meet y—"

"What magic do you possess? Did you steal my brother's Scepter?" He asks her accusingly, stepping closer to her.

Hope's surprisingly calm, considering a deity is accusing her. She sighs, looking back toward the Destroyer, "Nope. That was all me...Okay, you know more about this Destroyer thing than me, so what's it's weakness?"

As the machine nears, it's face grill opens, a fire burning within, until a condensed beam of fire is shot out of it, toward one of the cars lining the street. And then a small building after that.

"Jo, you need to go," Hope warns Josie. She doesn't want her to get hurt in this fight.

Before Josie gets the chance to argue, Thor speaks, "You three as well," He turns to the scientists.

One of the Warriors Three excitedly exclaims, "Thor and Hope, Son-of-Mikael, are going to fight with us!"

Hope rolls her eyes, mumbling under her breath, "I prefer daughter of the devil, but whatever floats your boat."

Thor warns the warriors, "I am merely a mortal, so I will only be in the way—or worse, get one of you killed. But I can help get the rest of these people to safety."

Jane looks to Thor, "Well if you're staying, so am I."

Josie nods, looking to Hope, "Yep, I'm with her," she agrees with Jane.

Hope huffs, "So stubborn."

Thor accepts their help though, "Buy us some time to get these people away from here," and he, along with Jane, Josie, Darcy, and Erik begin going into each shop and restaurant to clear the people out.

Lady Sif turns to the Warriors Three and Hope, "Guys you distract. Hope Mikaelson, do you think you could—"

Hope is temporarily distracted, seeing that the Destroyer is now aimed directly at a mother and son who are running for shelter. When the fire beam shoots from the Destroyer, Hope casts a shielding spell, protecting the mother and son from the blast.

Lady Sif looks confused at the Tribrid, "I thought you had invisibility magic?"

Hope counters, "I can cast any spell you need. But first, I think this thing needs to cool off," She says, casting a spell, "Adiuuator, fanita ignos et mortifina."
