"WHAT DO YOU SAY?" Thor asked, standing between Bruce and Amber who both looked up at him with innocence. "Uncharted metagalactic travel through a volatile cosmic gateway? Talk about an adventure."

Thor held up his fist, and Amber quickly followed. Bruce smiled, slapping Thor's fist with his palm in a high-five attempt. Amber's smile quickly faded as she lowered her fist, trying to slip away from the two boys.

She went to go talk to Valkyrie, when she felt a tap on her shoulder. Turning, she saw Thor tower over her, holding up his fist. "You really think I'd leave you hanging?"

Amber suddenly beamed again, bumping fists with him. Thor nodded confidently at her, smiling. "We need a ship."

Valkyrie lowered the bottle from her mouth, swallowing the mouthful of alcohol. She swayed slightly. "There are one or two ships. Absolute top of the line models..."

"I don't mean to impose―" Loki said in a calm voice, but was cut off by Valkyrie hurling her bottle towards him. It smashed on the wall behind him, raining glass down on Loki's back. Loki flinched, closing his eyes. Valkyrie propped her hands on her hips, licking her lips in anger. Thor, Bruce, and Amber stared at Loki with blank faces. "...but the Grandmaster has a great many ships." Loki continued after a slight pause.

He smirked. "I may have even stolen the access codes to his security system."

Valkyrie raised her eyebrows at him sassily. "And suddenly you're overcome with the urge to do the right thing."

Loki shook his head dismissively. "Heavens, no. I've run out of favour with the Grandmaster in exchange for codes and access to a ship. I'm asking for safe passage through the Anus."

Amber couldn't help but giggle at the name.

"You're telling us that you can get us access into the garage without setting off any alarms?" Thor asked, stepping forward. Loki nodded.

"Yes, brother. I can."

Bruce then stumbled forward. "Can I, just―just," he whistled, bringing everyone in. "a quick FYI?"

When everyone was huddled together, Bruce bowed his head as Loki stared out the window. "I was just talking to him just a couple minutes ago, and he was totally ready to kill any of us."

"He did try to kill me." Valkyrie added in.

Amber shrugged. "Not me."

Valkyrie glared at Amber, and Thor nodded. "Yes, me too. On many, many occasions." he glanced at his brother. "There was one time when we were children, he transformed himself into a snake and he knowns I love snakes. So, I went to pick up a the snake to admire it, and he transformed back into himself and was like 'Yeah! It's me!' and stabbed me. We were eight at the time."

Amber threw back her head, laughing loudly. Upon seeing this, Loki stared at her, smiling subtly.

"If we're boosting a ship...we'll need to draw away some guards away from the palace." Valkyrie added, once Amber was done laughing.
