AS THEIR AIRCRAFT APPROACHED THE RAINBOW BRIDGE, ALEX NERVOUSLY TAPPED HER FOOT. THEY COULD see a herd of people, about to battle against a battalion of Hela's soldiers. Alex hadn't had her suit this entire adventure, and was wishing she had it now. 

"Let's get the civilians onto the craft, and then we'll deal with the pain in the ass that is my sister." Loki rubbed her shoulders. 

He had transformed his attire into battle armor, with his infamous helmet on his head. Alex stifled a laugh when she saw it, earning a scowl from him. 

"Now I understand 'Reindeer Games'." She laughed. 

"Still unsure of what a reindeer is." 

As the ship lowered toward the bridge, Loki stood on its bow. 

"Your savior is here!" He announced. 

Alex simply rubbed her forehead as Korg cheered. The creatures that were also on the aircraft were armed with gladiator-like weapons, prepared to fight. 

Loki jumped onto the bridge, holding his hand out for Alex. She took it, and many of the civilians were delighted to see her. 

"Did you miss me?" Loki grinned. "Everybody on that ship, now." 

The civilians began to pour onto the ship, a bottleneck effect forming as the only way on was its narrow plank. Loki and Alex walked over to a man she had never met before, but seemed to be familiar with Loki. 

"Welcome home. I saw you coming." He spoke.

"Of course you did." Loki simply said. "Heimdall, about you know, me compromising you and such--"

"We needn't talk of it."

"Right. I'm sure you've seen Alexandra."

Alex awkwardly waved. 

"I've seen the great deal of power you possess. We'll need it now." Heimdall said. 

Heimdall, Loki, Alex, and the creatures all faced forward, bracing for impact from Hela's minions. 

Blasts were shot from the creatures' weapons, while Loki used his daggers to fight. Alex threw a hard punch at a minion, before kicking him right off the bridge. She was able to freeze a group of minions that came at her, allowing Loki to stab them all easily. 

Some Asgardians joined the fight, using only their bare hands to fend off minions. Women and children were herded onto the aircraft first, but they weren't moving fast enough. Thor was still fighting Hela, leaving the others to their devices. 

Suddenly, fighting ceased as the skies darkened and the castle lit up. White lightning pulsed around the entirety of the castle, and Alex and Loki shared a glance.
