Jumping through that window sent a thrill down Aurora's spine that was nothing like she had ever felt before. Part of her was pained to leave Valkyrie, but she knew she would fight by Thor's side no matter what. He had been the first person to ever show kindness towards her and she felt she owed it to him to be loyal when he needed help. Effortlessly, she slid down the angled glass building, using what little power she has left to balance herself for her landing so she didn't slam into the ground below. She caught the whiff of Thor's red cape as she bounded after him, feeling increasingly out of breath. Maybe she was becoming more human than she thought. Although she found humans fascinatingly complicated and beautiful, becoming one would mean unknown things for the universe she protected. She knew she would have to return to the stars soon, but she couldn't leave with unfinished business. Her people needed her right now. Her people being Thor. Part of her wanted to entertain the idea that Valkyrie needed her too, but Aurora knew that was a dreamer's wish.

She followed Thor into what looked like a spaceship; Aurora wondered what significance this had to Thor or if it had any at all. There were hundreds of wrecks like this one all over Sakaar, but this one seemed familiar to the God.

As she landed on the metal floor, Thor turned and jumped at the sight of her, "Ah! I... I knew you were behind me! I just--"

"Got startled?" Aurora asked with a teasing smile as Thor brushed her off with mockery. She laughed and followed him to the front of the ship. Judging by the way he navigated it, he had been on the vessel before.

"All right," the god muttered as he pressed a few buttons, seeming satisfied when things started lighting up. "So, that Valkyrie chick, eh?"

"She's quite interesting," Aurora chuckled, "Here, let me help."

Aurora placed her hands on the control Thor was messing with and channeled her power. Thankfully, it began to light up with power, but it needed a code to be unlocked so they could use it. Thor thanked her before she stepped back and let him press his hand against the sensor.

"Welcome. Voice activation required," the computer spoke.

"Thor," he spoke confidently. The computer beeped and didn't unlock. "Uh, Thor. Son of Odin." It beeped again. Aurora watched carefully, staying silent as she bit her nails out of nerves. "God of Thunder. Strongest Avenger. Strongest Avenger." Thor sighed, "Damn you, Stark."

Thor took a step back and Aurora searched her mind for a solution, "It's okay, maybe... maybe I can use my power to override it."

"Let me try again," Thor sighed, placing his hand back on the sensor, "Point Break."

"Welcome. Point Break," the computer beeped as it began to power on fully and Thor cheered. However, the moment was short lived as something tore the back of the ship clean off.

Hulk was there, yelling, "Friend, stay!"

"Oh, gods," Aurora muttered as the creature pounded through the ship, destroying it in his wake.
