ALEX AND LOKI WOKE UP LATE THE NEXT MORNING, EXHAUSTED FROM ALL THE EVENTS THAT HAD been taking place. They went to the lounge as usual for lunch, and to think of a plan for the rest of the day. 

"I'll go back to the Champion's suite to talk to Thor, and--"

Suddenly, a giant hologram of the Grandmaster was displayed at the center of the city, and his voice was projected everywhere. 

"Sakaar, hear ye. Attention please. I have some bad news. My beloved, exalted Champion has turned up missing. Take to the streets--celebrate my champion." He spoke sadly. "It seems that the criminally seductive Lord of Thunder has stolen him away."

"Oh my--Thor must've escaped out of the suite with Hulk." Alex whispered to Loki. 

"I will go to the Grandmaster. I'll tell him I can find Thor myself, and not to send any authorities."

"Okay. I'll go into the city and find him," Alex stood up, squeezing his hand. "I'll see you when I see you."

They parted ways, with Alex going into the elevator down and Loki going up. She worried about his interactions with the Grandmaster, as she knew that lunatic was known to melt people on a whim with his stupid weapon. 


Once outside, Alex kept her eyes peeled. How hard could it be to find a green giant?

Apparently, very hard. 

People flooded the streets, displaying images and merchandise of the Hulk, chanting for him. She waved through people, becoming very stressed out. It wasn't until twenty minutes had gone by that she finally spotted Thor in a small alleyway. 

Without saying anything, she ran over to him. Once she got closer, she realized that Bruce had returned to his human form. 

"Bruce!" She gasped. She engulfed him in a hug, which he returned awkwardly as always. 

"Alex, you look different somehow,"

"Yeah, I'm immortal. That's definitely a story for another day."

"I'm on an alien planet and Alex is immortal. I can't handle this right now. If I turn into the Hulk, I am gonna come back again. And you don't care." Bruce said to Thor. 

"No, no. I'm putting together the team. The Hulk is the fire."

"Wait, you're just using me to get to the Hulk." 

Alex's eyes darted between the two men. "So, I missed a lot."

"Just a fight or two. Banner, I'm not--"

"It's gross. You don't care about me. You're not my friend."

"How did you get Bruce Banner in his feels?" Alex rubbed her forehead.
