The boat ride to Norway was quite unexciting to say the least, but at least it was finally over. Dominic docked the boat in a small town and he and his new partners, Killer Frost and Volcana, began their trip. Dominic rented a car using some Norwegian Krone he had on him. From their they drove up towards the area that the map said where the first stone would be.

Dominic was the one driving them to their location while Killer Frost sat shotgun and Volcana was in the back. While they were on the other side of the world now, Dominic thought that it would still be good if they wore civilian clothes. They all wore winter outfits due to the cold weather, but the two villainess' still wore their suits underneath them.

"You said that there are six of these stones, right?" Volcana asked.

"Six stones with great power." Dominic said. "Power that could wipe out all of existence if they aren't used correctly."

"And what makes you think you can control them." Killer Frost asked curiously.

"My grandfather trained me in various techniques and skills so he could prepare me to find the stones. My family has kept tabs on them for centuries hoping that one day a member of our family would be worthy of wielding this." Dominic gestured to the Infinity Gauntlet on his arm.

"What is that thing?" Killer Frost asked.

"It's called the Infinity Gauntlet. Whoever wields the gauntlet will be able to wield the stones. Sure, you can use the stones without it, but the likely hood you'd be able to survive using them is highly unlikely." Dominic said. "All those in my family before me who tried to wield the gauntlet failed because it wouldn't accept them."

"But what makes you so special?" Volcana asked.

"To be honest Volcana, I don't know." Dominic said bluntly, which surprised them.

"What do you mean you don't know?" Killer Frost asked in surprise.

Dominic sighed before he answered. "All my life I had to hear from my grandfather that someday a member of our family would wield this gauntlet and gain the power of the stones. That they would gain all the power, but I never saw myself as someone who would be worthy."

"Why's that?" Volcana asked in confusion.

"I just wanted to help people because I wanted to, not because I need to." Dominic answered truthfully. "

Volcana and Killer Frost were a little stunned by what he said, before they both started laughing. Dominic gave a little pout at them laughing at him.

"Man, your too much of a Boy Scout." Killer Frost teased.

Dominic smirked as he countered argued. "Can't be much of a Boy Scout if I just broke two criminals out of prison."

"Touché." Killer Frost said with a smirk.

"Speaking of which, you do know once they find out were gone they're going to come looking for us." Volcana inquired.

"They can try, but they never will." Dominic said without a hint doubt in his speech.

"How can you be sure?" Killer Frost asked.

"My family were experts in not only stealth, but in keeping secrets as well. If we have had something to hide, then nobody will find it out unless they want it to be found."

They sat in silence for awhile waiting to get to wear they were supposed to go and needless to say, they were starting to get bored.

"How much longer?" Killer Frost groaned out.

Volcana looked at the map in the journal before answering. "According to this map, we should be pretty close."

"Well, we're going to have to stop here." Dominic said. "We have to hike the rest of the way."
