Capítulo 73: Chapter: 73
Chapter: 73
Hela obviously didn't know that very soon all the Infinity Stones would surface and all somehow end up on Earth. It wouldn't be too hard at that point to snag them and use them to restore Asgard.
[It'll be crazy hard if they are in Thano's possession by that point… The MCU severely nerfed their power. With 5 Stones, Thanos should have absolutely bodied anyone that fought him in Wakanda.]
The system had a point. I definitely wouldn't let him gain anymore stones. It's pretty much confirmed that he has the mind stone at this point, but that's all he has. If the events of Guardians of the Galaxy 1 have yet to occur, and I don't think they have, then he shouldn't have the power stone yet. I could venture out to Xandar soon and clep the Power Stone off of Ronin's corpse before Thanos takes it for himself.
[Now that's the spirit of a true meta gamer!]
[Quest Initiated! -Infinity- What are six measly stones compared to the awesome powers of the gamer!? Gather the six stones for yourself and absorb their powers!]
…
Following that, the meal with Hela was peaceful and nice. We ate while having light conversation with each other about our pasts. She obviously had a much longer story than I did given her age and experiences. She also told me the reason she thinks Odin banished her. After its destruction, Hela started drawing power from her patron, Lady Death, and not from Asgard. Instead of diminishing like every other god of Asgard, Hela's powers actually started to grow as Lady Death started showing her more favor and granting her more tasks. Hela speculates that Odin feared her growing powers and banished and sealed her away before she surpassed him. With the newly brainwashed people of Asgard on his side, it was easy for him to do it. Surprisingly, Hela holds no grudges towards her people for that.
"They were under—and are still under—mind control," Hela said. "What use would being angry with them achieve? No, the fault lies with my father. At least after banishing me, he apparently erased all memories of my 'crimes' from their minds. Now I can return to Asgard under the identity of a long-lost daughter of Odin or something," Hela explained. She was still working out the details, but I'm sure she'd figure it out.
I asked her what she thought about Thor taking the throne, and she simply stated that he lacked the current power necessary to guard an entire realm.
I had to agree because even once his powers are restored he wouldn't be above high class. The other pantheons would laugh at him when they returned. Even Yasaka, the leader of the supposed 'weak Yokai Faction', was still an Ultimate Class being that could use the Ley Lines of Kyoto to reach the peak of that realm.
Following our meal, Hela stood up and gave me her arm. I giggled as I took it and she started leading me out of the kitchens towards somewhere. I wasn't quite sure where we were going, but this was the first real date I'd ever been on and I was enjoying spending time with such a gentle-woman. I think in a weird way, I was actually happy that Asgard was currently rioting as it was just me and her spending some alone time together. We wouldn't have been able to have such deep conversations in a public tavern with potential eavesdroppers everywhere.
…
Sif was incredibly jealous right now! She was also annoyed with herself for breaking down like that earlier in the throne room. Her memories were tampered with? So what!? Deep down, she knew who she was. If she couldn't trust her past, then she would just put faith in her future!
In her mind, her future never included having a potential partner—let alone one of the female variety. That was until the beautiful Fallen Angel Layla had outright told Sif that she was interested in her. Such boldness! Usually, courting is done much slower on Asgard due to how long-lived everyone is. To openly declare your feelings for someone was incredibly rare. And yet it had happened to Sif!
And then, when Sif was having her small mental breakdown back in the throne room, Layla came right up to her and started comforting her. It was after she recovered herself to defend the Queen from the Frost Giants that Sif realized Layla might be a perfect match for herself. Sif was a goddess and a warrior. Layla was a powerful Angel who relied on magic. They were the perfect complementary pair!
And then some unknown goddess who was apparently the crown princess—according to Azazel and Heimdall—and erased from Sif's memories appeared out of nowhere and declared she wanted to court Layla! And Layla accepted…
Sif was saddened by the news and nearly fell into a depression. That was until Azazel and Penemue mentioned to her that in Fallen culture, it was rare to have a single partner. Apparently, Lord Azazel even had an entire harem of Fallen at his disposal even if Penemue remained his 'number one.' That meant that Sif still had a chance! And she was going to take it and not give up. She still wanted to make sure this new goddess didn't try anything funny with the woman she was starting to develop feelings for though.
So, using the magic that Queen Frigga had taught her in their many training sessions together, Sif turned herself invisible and followed Layla and Hela on their impromptu 'date.' Sif was sure that Hela had noticed her, judging by the smirks she kept sending the invisible goddess's way, but Layla had not.
Sif begrudgingly admitted to herself that Hela was doing a decent job of wooing the 'fair maiden.' When she personally cooked her a meal and the pair spent over an hour talking, Sif wasn't able to hear what they were talking about as Hela had thrown up some powerful magic that blocked Sif from overhearing. Some time later, the two finished their meal and stood up to leave the kitchen. Sif seethed as Hela wrapped her arm around Layla's waist and led them down the palace halls…towards the wing where palace guests were meant to stay. Surely, Hela wouldn't be bold enough to attempt anything on their first date, would she!?
Sif's hopes were dashed though when Hela and Layla reached the guest quarters. Hela turned to face where Sif was hiding and gave her a wide sultry grin. Hela then turned back to Layla and pushed the beautiful angel against the wall as she passionately kissed her!
