15: That's What Heroes Do.

142 and I walked through the same hallway I did last night.

There are two guards standing at the doorway and she kicked one of them's staff and it almost fall from his grasp.

Hulk stands there, leaning against the hammer he used to fight Thor yesterday.

"Angry girl!" He yells in excitement as we entered.

142 runs towards him with a laugh as he swings the hammer playfully, she slides under the hammer, punching him softly as she pins him down.

"What's going on? What do you…?" She trails off when she spots Thor, who was first leaning on the shelve but adjusts when he sees it's uncomfortable.

"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?" She says with a roll of her eyes.

"We need to talk." Thor tells her.

"No, you want to talk to me." She retorts as she sends me a look that screams 'traitor'.

I give her an innocent smile as she turns to leave.

"I need her to stay." Thor says and before I could block her path with a field, Hulk throws the upper jaw of his bed over my head, at the door way, successfully blocking her path.

"Stay!" He exclaims.
"Please?" He added before picking up a red ball and begins to toss it at the wall.

"Please." I added with a small smile.

She rolls her eyes as she walks to Hulk's mini bar and picks up a large unopened bottle.

"All right. Here's the deal. I'll listen to you till this is empty." She says as she pops the cork and starts chugging.

"Asgard is in danger and people are dying. We need to get back there. I need your help…" Thor trails off as she finished the bottle, "wow."

"I don't know if I should be amazed or concerned." I said as she dropped the bottle, letting it shatter on the ground.

"Finished. Bye." She says as she walks towards the door.

"No wait-"

"Odin is dead." Thor drops and she paused. Thor sees this as a sign to continue.
"Hela, the Goddess of Death has invaded Asgard."

She turns back to us with a sigh.
"If Hela's back then Asgard is already lost."

"I'm going to stop her." Thor says.

"Alone?" She deadpans.

"Nope. I'm putting together a team. It's me, you, lady Stark, and the big guy." Thor responds.

"No team. Only Hulk." Hulk responds behind us, the bouncing sound of his ball pausing for a second before picking up again.

"It's me, you and lady Stark." Thor corrects.

"I think it's only you two." She says as she starts to leave again and Thor runs in front of her, making her stop.

"Wait. Just listen. The Valkyrie are legend, elite warriors of Asgard. You are sworn to defend the throne." Thor says and she rolls her eyes.

"I'm not getting dragged into another one of Odin's family squabbles." She responds.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Thor asks in confusion.

"Your sister. Her power comes from Asgard, same as yours." She responds.
"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…" She trails off, her eyes looking sad like she was reliving a bad memory, which she probably was.
