Chapter 11: Did I Say Something Wrong?

NATASHA-

"So wait a second, if Chaos is so powerful, why can't he just stop his rogue son?" asked Clint.

After the introductions; Tony, Bruce, Mastermind and Genius had disappeared off to the labs and no one really wanted to follow them so everyone else was sprawled around the 8th floor living room.

Cyclone grimaced. "That's the problem though. He's so powerful that's he's almost too powerful. He could easily destroy his son, but in the process of doing so, the energy produced would probably destroy the galaxy anyway. Meaning that it would be pointless to try. He made a risk coming here in the first place, that's why his explanation was so short, he could not endanger you merely by staying here too long. So that's why he sends us. Whilst we are more powerful that the inhabitants of most planets, we can control the our power better as it is much weaker than Chaos'."

Clint nodded, satisfied with the information.

"But Cyclone, Gladiator, Reaper and Valkyrie have each defeated Chaos in combat." chimed in Prongs.

Natasha blinked. "But I thought you just said he was uber-powerful. Like he could kill you with a wave of his hand powerful? But you risked fighting him anyway?"

"Oh he is," nodded Panther "It's just we're immortal remember? We can fade, but we just go to the Afterlife Void of Chaos, regenerate and then can rejoin the Legion. And also those four are like, unbelievably good at fighting."

"Regenerate?" asked Steve, alarmed.

Valkyrie gave a thin lipped smile. "Once immortals fade, you can stay in the Afterlife Void if you wish, it's very nice there actually, well for the good guys. Eternal torment in the Void looks horrifying. Or you can regenerate. Takes about 50 years or so, very painful, but it's the only way to come back to the Legion. So it was a risk fighting him, but we could always regenerate. And there's no fun doing something with no danger or challenge, is there?"

Thor looked interested. "Of course not!"

Natasha rolled her eyes at him. "So...you've faded before?"

Valkyrie raised an eyebrow. "Me? Yes, several times...five times I think."

"How can you not be sure? 250 years of your life in pain?" asked Clint, appalled.

"300 years actually," hummed Four, thinking "Remember there was also that time in the fourth galaxy where that massive explosion came out of nowhere and blew up your...soul or something?"

Valkyrie froze and paled, clearly remembering it too well.

Enchantress frowned. "Wait, when was this? I don't remember hearing about this."

Valkyrie glared at Four. "And there was a reason why you didn't know about it." she muttered, clearly meant to be under her breath, but everyone heard it.

Four and Six exchanged worried glances, they didn't properly know what had happened: Valkyrie had gone on a mission to the first galaxy, about 2,000,000 years after she joined the Legion. There had been a complication that they didn't know the details of, which led to her going to the fourth galaxy partway through the mission. Whilst she was there, something caused a massive, magical explosion the put her in regeneration for 50 years. After that she had taken like 1000 years out doing some super-secret thing with Chaos. She had never explained what had happened or brought it up again. Four should have known better than to bring it up, especially now she had a protective, very powerful boyfriend.

Said boyfriend sent Four fearsome glare and wrapped his arms gently around her waist. She sunk into the embrace trying to get away from the prying eyes of her friends. Gladiator knew what they were talking about, Valkyrie had told him once he told her the reason why he left his previous life.
