Assembled: Earth's Last Heroes (A Riordanverse and MCU crossover)

Chapter 6: Jason

Jason felt like he was in a maze. 

He remembered what Percy had told him about the Labyrinth, and he shuddered. Each hallway looked identical to him, with wolf heads hung on the walls and animal fur as carpets and each hall they walked through seemed bigger than the one before.

Wolves....

He remembered Camp Jupiter now, how Lupa had trained him to be the warrior he was. He felt a pang of regret strike him as he missed his old homes. He could only hope that Apollo kept his promise and brought his plans to Camp Jupiter.

Most of the hallways were deserted, but all of the hotel guests Jason saw were dressed in all black. Small groups of people sat together, their heads bowed, their faces glistening with tears.

"What happened?" he asked Hunding, who seemed oblivious to the fact that everyone around him was in mourning.

"Well it's a long story, but here goes. Long story short, Asgard was destroyed. Odin's dead and Thor is the only major god still alive."

"What?! How did that happen?"

"Well, a few years ago we had a kind of crisis in which we thought Ragnarok was happening. We, or should I say Magnus Chase and his friends, managed to save Asgard then, and we thought the trouble was over, but in reality it was only just beginning. After Odin passed on only a few months ago, Hotel Valhalla went into mourning and it's been in lockdown ever since. However, Odin's death unlocked the curse he gave Hela, the goddess of death, and the brothers Thor and Loki were forced to team up to defeat her. Eventually, they realised the only was to stop Hela was to destroy Asgard, since that's the source of Hela's power. So now Asgard is destroyed, and Ragnarok -- the true Ragnarok -- has happened. Thor and Loki, however, managed to escape with the remainder of Asgard's population."

"Wow." breathed Jason, still intaking all this information. "Sounds like it's been a really long and really horrible weekend."

"It has," said Hunding grimly. "Well, we've been cut from all communications since the refugees arrived, so we really don't know what's going on out there, except that a LOT of people are dying right now. All we can do for now is provide a safe home for the Asgardian refugees and receive the new and overwhelming dead and try and guess what's happening outside."

"Wait," said Jason. "There's something I don't quite get that I heard everyone whispering about. What are the Infinity Stones? Who's Thanos? I don't remember him being a Norse god."

Hunding grimaced. "Ah, well, that's something your new hallmates can explain to you. They've just been there and seen that. Come, we have arrived to your room."
